【New Red Mansion】Perfect World

In the small garden under the starry sky, there was an exquisite little round table. Pin'er and Madam Li were drinking tea and chatting, while Yuejiao was playing naughty games at their feet.

Madam Li took a sip of tea and said slowly:

"Today I saw you and Shui Rong! It was like seeing myself when I was young. It was the same with his grandfather back then. We were friends, bosom friends, partners, and lovers. It's a pity that he left early, leaving me with only this castle. I can't get out, and if you can spread your wings you must fly high. Go see the wider world. Put the music into space! Let the stars hear your music too!"

Lin Pin'er was stunned for a moment, tears flashed in her eyes, and she muttered in a dream:

"Can I do it?"

"After graduation, let Shui Rong start a company for you so that you can concentrate on making music. When we were young, we didn't have much money and had to worry about food every day, but we still pursued our dreams. Now you don't have to worry about so much, and you have capital to support you. If you can't make good music again, you will be a failure."

The light that had just brightened in Pin'er's eyes dimmed again.

"How can I be so worthy? I already owe him so much. I just hope I can give him something. How can I dare to ask for anything else?"

Madam Li immediately lowered her voice:

"If I step out of the role of Shui Rong's grandmother, I will teach you a trick. In a relationship, it's best that you owe me and I owe you. If everything is fair and you have to settle accounts, then it's not love. If you want to hold a man in your hand, let him pay a little more. Let him think that the cost of giving up you is too high, it's best to make him feel painful, this is how to control him. Otherwise, why do young people now let women manage their money and household? It's best to spend all his money on you. When other messy women pester him, he will have to weigh the cost of being unfaithful."

Shui Rong walked over from a distance, and Old Madam Li hurriedly picked up the teacup and drank tea.

"Did grandma say something bad about me?"

Madam Li had a natural expression and was unmoved. Pin'er, with her back to him, was startled by his sudden words.

Shui Rong came over and smoothed her hair, saying as if coaxing a child:

"Why are you so timid? Touch the fur, it won't scare you!"

Shui Rong had just been called to the study by his elder brother to discuss something, and now he was back he seemed to be in a good mood.

Old Madam Li was busy making arrangements: "It's getting late, I won't keep you here in vain, your grandmother is waiting too. I understand your feeling best, she will definitely want to hear what you have done today before she goes to bed. I asked Lai An to pack you some egg tarts I made, and some tea that I think is delicious. Don't be polite with me, remember what I told you." After saying this, she winked playfully.

Pin'er then said goodbye and went back. Shui Rong naturally wanted to see her off. In the car, he curiously asked Pin'er:

"What did my grandmother tell you?"

"I won't tell you! This is a secret between me and my grandmother."

Shui Rong's jaw dropped in shock: "Little girl, are you starting to keep secrets from me? Don't forget that you and I are allies." He lowered his voice when speaking the second half of the sentence, fearing that Zijuan and Shifan in front of him would hear it.

"I suspect you are using alliance to PUA me." Pin'er was even more naughty.

Shui Rong was so angry that he laughed, but he liked her now, who was smart and playful. Now she seemed to have really been reborn from the dead, and her soul was back. When she first came to the capital, she didn't dare to say a word, and was indifferent to him, but now she is even more lovely.

Who knew that Pin'er coaxed him sweetly again:

"I'll talk to you tonight. I have a lot to ask you. We can talk alone. My grandmother is waiting for me. Let me share my daily life with her first, and then talk to you, okay?"

"You change so quickly. One moment you're a shrewd little hot pepper. The next moment you're sweet honey to coax people." Shui Rong complained, feeling very nervous.

Since watching them leave in the afternoon, Jia's mother has been uneasy. She doesn't know how Pin'er is doing now. Does she care about other people's faces? Is she used to eating and drinking? She didn't have much appetite until dinner. Yuanyang persuaded her again and again: If she was not happy, she would have come back a long time ago. Besides, Mr. Li can't let Miss Lin be angry... and so on.

Until she heard the sound of a car, moving things, and footsteps, Jia's mother sat in the tea room, pretending to be relaxed and drinking tea while waiting.

Pin'er, however, hurried to the teahouse with a smile on her face, and teased her grandmother as she walked:

"I thought I was gone for half a day, and you missed me for half a day. Now you have no appetite?"

"Alas, my little enemy from these past lives. How do you know that I have lost my appetite for you?"

Pin'er hurriedly sat down beside her grandmother and told her how big the Li family was, like a palace, how they played together, and what they ate and drank.

Then she took out a long jewelry box from her bag.

"That day in the store, his grandmother gave me this box. Because there were many people there that day, Shui Rong was afraid that there would be too much noise, and also worried that I would put it in a mess and lose it. So she helped me keep it."

Grandmother Jia slowly opened the velvet box. It was a golden necklace, and the pendant was a large golden pearl. Grandmother Jia looked at the pearl carefully and nodded: It was a very large and rare South Sea gold pearl.

"It is a very good bead. It can be seen that he values ​​you. And his grandmother had never seen you before. The fact that he prepared such a gift shows that Shui Rong told his grandmother about your character in detail, and that the Li family is interested in you."

When Pin'er heard her grandmother say this, her face turned even redder. She looked at Grandmother Jia and hesitated to speak.

Seeing her like this, Grandmother Jia hurriedly led her to her bedroom, pulled her to sit on the edge of the bed, and continued asking her the same question as before.

Pin'er then expressed her doubts:

"His grandmother treated me very well. It's just strange that she taught me how to hold the water solution in my hand and how to use his money. This is really strange and unheard of."

After hearing this, Jia Mu was not surprised and explained it to her:

"The grandmother of a large family must be in control of the family's finances, just like ours. We gave everything to them, fearing that they would lose everything. His grandmother has also decided to make you her granddaughter-in-law, so she will naturally teach you how to manage the household in the future. Now she is also teaching you to manage Shui Rong. She is teaching you to tie his heart down, fearing that he will go astray outside."

Pin'er now understood the meaning of this, but she thought to herself that she was still a child who knew nothing and had to rely on him for everything, so how could she manage him? But she was too embarrassed to continue the conversation. Then she coaxed her grandmother to sleep quickly so that she could go back to her room.

When she returned to the green gauze cabinet, Xiangyun was curious again. Pin'er only picked out some things to say, chatted with her for a while, and then called Shui Rong.

"Aren't you home yet?"

"We're almost there." The sound of Shui Rong stretching came from the other side.

"But are you tired? I felt tired after going there once today. I also understand your hard work of going back and forth every day."
