Chapter 280 Danger Approaches

"Master!" Song Tingnan was speechless. She really didn't know her master was so outrageous. "Master, do you know why there are matchmakers between men and women?"

"I know! I'll introduce it!"

Song Tingnan rubbed his forehead: "Master, have you introduced yourself? Home address, age, family members?"

Gao Haoran thought for a moment and said seriously, "I'm right here, what's there to introduce? She can see me. Of course, I also told her that I came from Yunxiang County. My age speaks for itself, no need to say more."

"Family member? You're my only disciple. I didn't mention it. Don't you know each other? Oh, I didn't mention the Gao Family Martial Arts School. I'll have to tell her next time."

“Master! Aunt Ning doesn’t recognize me—Song Tingnan. She only knows ‘Xiao Gao.’ Wait, Master, that’s not the point.” Song Tingnan was getting anxious; the topic had been steered astray.

"Hahaha... Ah Huo, I'm really impressed with you. Don't you understand yet? You and Ning Xueyan are in a free-love relationship. There was no matchmaker. You have to make things clear yourself. In today's society, especially at our age, you have to tell her that you've never been married before and that you'll marry her properly." Song Yanchu, who was standing next to her, finally understood. This blockhead.

But you can't blame him. He went to the front lines when he was a teenager, surrounded by a bunch of grown men. When he came back, he was already quite old and hadn't thought about starting a family. Nobody taught him anything!

Gao Haoran slapped his forehead. "Ah? I see, so that's how it is. No wonder she's avoiding me; she's afraid I'll keep her as a mistress!"

No wonder her neighbor had that look on his face when they saw him; it was a huge misunderstanding.

Ning Xueyan never imagined that day would be the last time she would spend with her mother. When Lingling ran over crying and said that her grandmother had passed away, she couldn't believe it.

She was perfectly fine, wasn't she? She hadn't been there for a week or two, and she was thinking that after the New Year, she would at least take her mother to the hospital and then bring her back to her home to recuperate.

Lingling cried, "Auntie, Grandma wouldn't let me into the house anymore. She said she was afraid my mom would see me and beat me, boohoo... Why was I so obedient? I'm not afraid of being beaten, Grandma... Grandma passed away at night, nobody knew, they didn't find out until early morning..."

Ning Xueyan followed Lingling home and saw Hou Guoguo and Ma Xiaolan pretending to cry, with her two younger brothers wiping away their tears. She wondered how much of it was genuine.

Ning Xueyan entered the room and saw her mother lying flat on the bed, her hands crossed in front of her chest, looking very peaceful. Death is like a lamp going out.

Perhaps Mother felt relieved; Father Ning hadn't returned yet. Ning Xueyan looked at the tightly closed windows, the incense burning in the room, and the simple table and chairs neatly arranged.

Now that her mother was gone, there was no point in arguing anymore. Ning Xueyan took another deep look at her mother. She listened to her mother and lived her life well, quietly following the arrangement of "taking care of all funeral arrangements" and doing her duty as a daughter.

Having lost all her energy and spirit, she was in a daze and completely unaware of the danger approaching.

"Um, Mother just passed away, isn't it inappropriate for us to do this?" This was Ning Tianbao's voice.

Ning's father said, "What's wrong with that? She's a divorced woman, is she supposed to stay at her parents' house to observe mourning?"

"But...but, that guy is too shabby, how could he be worthy of my sister?" Both her parents work, and Ning Tianbao grew up with her sister, so she still has some affection for her.

"Oh dear, brother, once a woman gets divorced, she's worthless. Although my sister is still pretty, she's not young anymore, so it's not easy for her to be picky. That guy is only a bit scary when he has an epileptic seizure, but he's pretty good otherwise."

"Besides, he's never been married, and he's willing to recognize your eldest son, Jun'er, as his stepson. The house his parents left behind belongs to Jun'er. What else could you possibly be dissatisfied with?" Ma Xiaolan rolled her eyes. What was she pretending for? If it hadn't been agreed that her in-laws' house would belong to them in the future, she wouldn't have bothered. After all, her son was still young.

Ning Tianbao stammered, "I... my sister would definitely not agree. If it were... that Boss Gao, I think she might consider it." That man is unsightly even when he's not having an attack. Her sister is very beautiful and particular about her appearance. Tian Song back then was considered to have a good-looking face.
