She doesn't want to pretend anymore

Since the old man didn't come back, Manshu still called him.

On the other end, the old man was drinking with his old comrades and hung up after a few words.

Manshu was not worried because he had a reliable person by his side.

Just remind him to take care of his health and not drink too much.

Yan Zhentian agreed verbally, said a few perfunctory words and hung up the phone.

Then he said to his old comrade: "This kid is too controlling. He never lets me drink."

"Isn't this good?" The old comrade saw that Yan Zhentian was disgusted on the surface, but secretly he was very proud of himself.

"I do miss the little ones in our family every day, but they are heartless and only focus on work."

The old comrade had only one son, and he had only one son.

My son is in the army and my grandson is studying. They are usually busy with their studies, but they still talk about doing research.

Anyway, not to mention that I don’t have time to go home to see this old man, even to make a phone call, I’m in a hurry.

My daughter is really thoughtful. Look at the other person’s little granddaughter, she is worried about her grandfather and doesn’t let him drink.

"Since my old lady passed away, no one has talked about my drinking anymore."

"My grandson is the weird one. He asked me to find another partner a while ago. I don't know what he is thinking."

Yan Zhentian paused as he held the cup in his hand: "You want to pair you with Xiao Zhao, right?"

Xiao Zhao’s name is Zhao Xiuchun, and she was a former battlefield nurse.

She was injured on the battlefield and had no children, so she later divorced her husband.

Now I am retired and alone.

Among their batch back then, the old comrade had the best relationship with Xiao Zhao.

They are all in the imperial capital, so they must be in touch with each other on a regular basis.

A trace of embarrassment flashed across the face of the old comrade: "Xiao Zhao is more than ten years younger than us, how could it be possible?"

"Besides, after my wife passed away, I had no intention of remarrying. It was that boy who started all this trouble."

"Xiao Zhao must be very kind to your grandson."

Old comrade: “…” That’s more than just good?

Xiao Zhao has no children. When her wife was still alive, she would often come to their house, mostly to help her take care of her grandchildren.

Actually, it’s not necessarily true that Xiao Zhao likes him very much.

If you really want to be a couple with him, you must be coveting his son and grandson!

"Why don't you invite the others to get together while I'm still in the capital? Then you don't have to hold a banquet, and you can just get through it in front of everyone."

"Otherwise, if Xiao Zhao keeps looking after you every now and then, and people gossip about you, what does she want?"

Old comrade: "Is this possible? I'm not that kind of person."

"Heh..." Yan Zhentian sneered, "Then I'll go ask Xiao Zhao if she's willing to go to City C with me to retire."

"Old Yan, this is not acceptable!" The old comrade suddenly became anxious.

"Are you short of women? If you want to marry a wife, you can marry an 18-year-old even if you are 80!"

Yan Zhentian: "What nonsense! I have never thought of doing anything to let my wife down."

"Being faithful to one person is a virtue, don't you understand?"

Old comrade: "...Then why did you persuade me to get together with Xiao Zhao?"

Have I no virtue?

"Your wife doesn't mind you being with Xiao Zhao. You're just living together."

The old comrade was somewhat shaken by what he said.

Really?

Manshu had no idea that his grandfather had been introduced to someone just by going out for a drink.

She knew that the old man would not come back, so she quickly went back to her room and went to sleep.

Yan Zhan was away during this period, and Manshu knew that he was on a mission, most likely related to that doctor, so he did not take the initiative to contact him.
