"Bully" Her! Ding Shengnan's Unusual Behavior

In the hall, a Tang Suit Elder with gray hair was engrossed in reading "The Art of War Tzu.

"Grandpa, look who's here."

At this moment, Ding Shengnan's cheerful voice rang out.

Old Master Ding put down his book, looked up, adjusted his reading glasses, and said with a tone full of helplessness.

"Shengnan, how many times have I told you?"

"Don't talk so carelessly, you have no manners at all. Who would want you in the future?"

He was truly at his wit's end with this granddaughter.

In terms of looks and figure, there's absolutely nothing to criticize.

That's just my personality, sigh~

I shouldn't have agreed to this name in the first place. Now look what happened, Shengnan, Shengnan...

Old Master Ding shook his head with a wry smile.

"It's good that no one wants you, so I can stay with you forever."

Ding Shengnan waved her hand dismissively and quickly pulled Qin Yan out from the side.

"Grandpa, look."

I originally planned to give Ding Shengnan a good talking-to.

Upon seeing Qin Yan appear, Old Master Ding's face revealed a kind smile.

"Yan'er, you've arrived. Please come in and sit down."

"Grandpa Ding."

Qin Yan smiled, took Jiang Cheng's hand, and walked inside.

Just as I was about to begin the introduction, Old Master Ding spoke first, laughing,

"This must be Yan'er's sweetheart. He is indeed a handsome and talented man!"

"When Old Qin said it, I didn't believe it. I never thought that someone could actually win you over, Yan'er."

Qin Yan blushed and stammered,

"Grandpa Ding, you... you're just like my grandpa, you like to tease people."

Haha~

Old Master Ding stroked his beard and laughed.

He was filled with curiosity and emotion. His "granddaughter" acted like a little girl, and even Old Qin praised her highly.

This young man is something else!

"Xiao Jiang, right? You can't bully Yan'er. This old man has never seen her like this before."

"Don't worry, Grandpa Ding, I would never bear to bully Yan'er."

Jiang Cheng spoke with a smile, while tickling Qin Yan's palm.

Hmph, not honest at all!

Qin Yan pursed her red lips and rolled her eyes resentfully.

This little man clearly "bullies" her every night, even hitting her with a stick, but he won't admit it.

Although she enjoyed it too, it was a case of one willing to give and the other willing to receive.

But the young man's tone just now was clearly teasing her.

They even emphasized the pronunciation of those two words, clearly implying something.

That's so mean, absolutely awful!

Ding Shengnan snorted from the side.

Sweet talk, no wonder he could fool Xiao Yan'er so easily...

Looking at Qin Yan's happy face, he glanced at his granddaughter, who had her hands in her pockets and seemed indifferent to the situation.

Old Master Ding suddenly had a headache.

Especially when he thought of Old Qin holding his great-grandson and showing off to him with a smug look on his face, he felt a tightness in his stomach and felt very uncomfortable.

"Sigh, with such a grandson-in-law, Old Qin must be grinning from ear to ear."

The more Old Master Ding looked at Jiang Cheng, the more satisfied he became.

Judging from his appearance and manner of speaking, he's clearly a good kid!

How did it end up being a bargain for that guy Lao Qin?

If it were his granddaughter's husband, he'd be laughing in his sleep.

"Grandpa Ding, you don't need to worry too much. Shengnan is so beautiful, she will definitely not lack good men in the future."

Qin Yan offered words of comfort from the side.

In her heart, she silently added, "Of course, he's definitely not as good as Jiang Cheng!"

Other men have to stand obediently to the side in front of her little man; there's no comparison at all.

Upon hearing this, Old Master Ding sighed, rolled his eyes at Ding Shengnan, and said helplessly,

"Forget it, I can't count on her, old man."

"Old Qin is really lucky. He'll probably be able to hold his great-grandson soon."

Ding Shengnan:...

At that moment, a voice rang out.

"Dad, the food is ready."

A man with an upright and righteous look walked in.

Old Master Ding nodded and looked at Jiang Cheng and Qin Yan.

"Xiao Jiang, Yan'er, you must be tired from the journey. Let's eat first."

As everyone took their seats, Old Master Ding glanced around and frowned, saying...

"Zhentian, didn't I tell you to go and call Xiangyu out?"

"Dad, you know my third sister's temper. How can I possibly get her to do anything?"

Ding Zhentian smiled wryly.

The thought of his third sister filled him with heartache.

Such a proud and privileged young woman, yet she insisted on falling for that Feng Chunyu, and even remained unmarried for life because of him.

"This is getting more and more outrageous."

Old Master Ding looked displeased, but his tone was more one of helplessness and sighing.

"Never mind, Xiao Jiang, Yan'er, let's eat."

Qin Yan nodded. She had heard about the Ding family's situation before, so she wasn't surprised.

Even after all the times she came, she had never seen Aunt Ding.

Jiang Cheng, however, seemed to be deep in thought. It seemed that the one who saved Feng Lao back then was Old Master Ding's daughter.

In an instant, a grand drama unfolded in Jiang Cheng's mind.

A story about a rich young lady falling in love with a gifted but poor boy?

Beside her, Ding Shengnan muttered to herself.

"If you hadn't forced Third Aunt to get married, Third Aunt wouldn't have threatened to kill herself, and the relationship wouldn't have become so strained."

"Shengnan, what did you say?"

Old Master Ding glared at him and spoke in a huff.

Do you really think he's old and hard of hearing?

"Grandpa, I was just kidding."

Facing Old Master Ding, Ding Shengnan shrank back like a quail.

"Grandpa Ding, Shengnan is just straightforward, please don't take it to heart."

Qin Yan spoke up to persuade him, which made Old Master Ding's expression improve considerably.

With Jiang Cheng and the other man's help, the dull atmosphere became lively again.

While Old Master Ding and the others were drinking and chatting, Ding Shengnan sat down next to Qin Yan.

"Little Yan'er, are you really sure? This is a matter of life and death for you!"

After glancing at Jiang Cheng, Ding Shengnan earnestly advised him, practically telling him outright that Jiang Cheng wasn't suitable for her.

"Shengnan, why are you acting so strangely today?"

Qin Yan looked at Ding Shengnan suspiciously, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes.

She had actually noticed that her best friend seemed to have some issues with Jiang Cheng.

But she didn't think much of it, assuming that Ding Shengnan was just concerned that the man she had met wasn't a good one.

However... now it seems...

A flicker of panic crossed Ding Shengnan's eyes as she was stared at by Qin Yan, but she quickly regained her composure.

Without changing her expression, she said, "I'm just afraid you'll act impulsively and regret it later. As your good sister, I feel it's necessary for me to remind you."

A moment of impulse? Regret?

Qin Yan rolled her eyes. Was she such a rash person?

"Don't worry, Shengnan."

"Jiang Cheng has been very good to me. You know me well. I can't possibly regret the decision I've made."

Upon hearing this, Ding Shengnan couldn't hold back any longer.

"Little Yan'er, you can't judge a person by their appearance alone."

"Men are all the same; they all get bored easily and crave novelty. You mustn't be fooled."

Qin Yan curled her red lips, not taking it seriously at all.

Is it true that women are fickle and easily bored? That's a question for the average woman.

She was confident and had ways to keep Jiang Cheng interested in her and hold onto his heart.

Moreover, Jiang Cheng is not that kind of person at all!
