Dating My Scumbag Ex's Uncle

I was a little sad and disappointed.

After all, everyone was there when Tong Le admitted Jing Ni was his fiance. So what do we do now, or in the future? Such a headache.

But this was not something I should worry about, someone else would have to deal with it because I had something, no, someone else that needed my attention… She was currently sitting on my couch.

It was Mrs. Jing. I just remembered I promise to go to dinner with her two days ago. Mrs. Jing looked at me unhappily.

Sister Li was about to speak when I quietly waved my hand for her to walk away. I smiled as I approached her, “Mrs. Jing, why are you here? I’m sorry, but I’ve been so busy with school that I didn’t come home. I forgot to inform you.” After all, this was my fault.

Mrs. Jing looked up at me from head to toe. She nodded. “You look haggard and your clothes are wrinkled.” She leaned in slightly and frowned. “You’ve just come back from a place with many people, maybe the school library or cafeteria? You should go shower and change. I’ll wait for you!”

I… Is she a police dog?

Mrs. Jing explained, “Go now. I have a very sensitive nose. You’re going to make me sneeze.”

I stepped away hastily. I ran to the bathroom. “Of course.” I ran upstairs and took a quick shower, changed my clothes, and dried my hair. My mind was spinning. Things weren’t looking good. Jing Tian had returned with my little uncle.

My original plan was to tell Mrs. Jing the truth when I saw her next. I would admit my mistake and let her scold me. After all, she did not seem like an unreasonable person to me. But… things had to happen so coincidentally. I didn’t know how to explain myself.

Jing Tian had reappeared with my little uncle. If I said there was no romantic relationship between the two men, I would find it hard to believe it myself. After all, they appeared and disappeared together at the same time. This couldn’t be helped because, for Jing Ni, both Jing Tian and my little uncle had to be there.

I was so worried about Jing Ni that I forgot about my lies to Mrs. Jing. That’s why they say one’s shouldn’t lie. I have made my bed and I had to lie in it.

I didn’t dare delay. Once my hair was dry, I rushed down.

Mrs. Jing was tasting the tea made by Sister Li when I arrived. She was elegant and dignified. I couldn’t help but sigh again.

As I approached, Madam Jing took a deep breath. “Your shampoo and shower gel is made from gardenia. That’s a unique smell. It’s very nice.”

I was stunned. “Mrs. Jing, your sense of smell is amazing! How did you train it?”

Mrs. Jing was flattered but also annoyed. She sighed with a complicated expression.

“My real name is Xiao Lan, so why don’t you call me Auntie Lan? I quite dislike people calling me Mrs. Jing.” I noticed she didn’t answer my question.

I was startled before obediently calling her, “Auntie Lan.”

She smiled very happily.

I had formed a better bond with my future mother-in-law.

Auntie Lan was a very interesting person. She didn’t know much about worldly affairs but she possessed great wisdom. I found her very captivating. I wondered if that was why Old Master Jing couldn’t leave her.

She took a sip of fruit tea. “This tea is wonderful. I asked your housekeeper and she said you came up with this tea leaves composition yourself?”

I smiled. “Yes, but I was only messing around. If Auntie Lan likes it, I’ll pack several bags for you. I have tried other tea combinations too.”

She didn’t reject me.
