After Rebirth I Became Spoiled
Chapter 8
The car galloped forward till it stopped outside a military area colony. A “Military Management Zone” sign was erected in front of the colony. On either side of the main entrance were two guards.
After seeing the people inside the car, the two guards paid a military salute to Grandpa Ling before letting the car in. Su Meng looked at the military green pickup truck that occasionally passed by, and the looming sound of soldiers training from a distance, and her mouth stayed open because of surprise.
She never expected that the old couple Ling lived in the military colony! In the previous life, although she came to find Su Sui several times, each time, they met in some other places, and so she never knew where Su Sui lived. Even though she knew from Su Sui that the identity of the old couple was not simple, the situation still caught Su Meng by surprise.
Su Meng entered a completely strange world, and was a little worried.
She was far from being as exquisite as Su Sui. She was beaten by a violent middle-aged man for two years in her previous life. She had a sense of fear for strangers. She didn’t dare to approach others, and didn’t dare to trust others easily. If she didn’t clearly know the old couple’s personality, she wouldn’t agree to return to the Imperial Capital with them so easily either.
As if seeing Su Meng’s anxiety, Grandma Zhang gently shook her hand. His palm was slightly rough, but was extraordinarily warm. That warmth was transferred to Su Meng’s hand little by little as if there was a kind of magical magic power that flowed slowly to her heart along her veins, making her warm.
Grandma Zhang asked, “Did you just see the guard with a gun?”
Su Meng nodded. Grandma Zhang smiled, “Don’t be afraid. These guards are actually very easy to get along with. Most people in the colony also get along very well.”
“Most of the people? That means there were still some people who were not easy to get along with?”
Su Meng’s face changed, and she turned pale for a while.
The driver saw Su Meng’s face change in the rearview mirror, and he smiled, “Little girl, don’t be afraid. No one will dare to provoke you. You got the old man behind your back.”
Grandma Zhang also smiled, “Yes, if anyone provokes you in the future, tell them Old man Ling’s name.”
Grandpa Ling also interjected at that time, “Yes.”
Grandma Zhang thought of something and said, “I and the old man are both at this age, so we can be your grandparents. From now on, you will call us grandparents.” Su Meng opened her eyes wide, and after reacting to what Grandma Zhang said, she nodded in response, “Okay, Grandma.”
That topic ended, but Grandma Zhang remembered something, and asked Grandpa Ling on the side with a complicated expression, “I heard that the Jiang family’s boy came back from abroad?”
Grandpa Ling gave a hum, with a half-hearted tone of helplessness, “I heard that he has committed a crime and was expelled from the school. Old Jiang got angry and got the kid back to China directly.”
“Expelled? Hey… A kid who was so good in childhood, who would have thought that he would grow into a lawless guy now? A child without a mother is hard to control. If Ruhui had not died not so early, it would have been fine.” Grandma Zhang sighed deeply.
Grandpa Ling silently patted her on the shoulder, and comforted her, “Everyone has their own destiny. Don’t think too much. I think the Jiang kid will be a promising person in the future.”
“I hope so. In that case, Ruhui can rest in peace.”
Su Meng listened quietly. It didn’t take long for the old couple to stop talking because they had arrived at their house. It was not far from the gate of the military area colony. After getting off the car, the driver greeted the old couple and Su Meng and left.
Grandma Zhang led Su Meng to the house. The old couple lived in a bungalow. The house was two-storied. The decoration was not luxurious, but it definitely looked warm and amiable. As soon as Lao Ling opened the door, the golden retriever in the house rushed out in one breath. He barked enthusiastically around those two.
Grandma Zhang leaned over and touched his head with a smile, and said to Su Meng who was beside her, “This is the Trooper. He was named after its strong body. There is also a Chinese pastoral cat. People can’t easily find her. Her hiding, detection and counter-reconnaissance technique is first-rate, so she is named ‘scout’.”
Su Meng was a little dumbfounded. She didn’t expect that the names of the cats and dogs in the Ling old couple’s house were so special.
She was a little curious, “Grandma, did you and grandpa named them?”
Grandma Zhang shook her head. Her eyes softened instantly when she thought of that person, “No, it was Ah Yu who gave them their names.” Hearing the familiar name in Grandma Zhang’s mouth, “Trooper” jumped with excitement.
