"How dare you say so," Gong Meiling glanced toward the kitchen door and chided in a low voice, "You brought a woman back home for the night without giving us any heads up, leaving us completely unprepared. Ling Chen, it's not that Grandma is criticizing you, but even though society is very open now, you still shouldn't be so reckless. You should at least consider the family's feelings."
Hearing this, Ling Chen finally understood and hurriedly explained, "Grandma, you've got it all wrong, nothing happened between Sister Xiyao and me."
"Sister Xiyao?" Gong Meiling exclaimed in surprise, "You found a woman older than you?"
"No, Grandma, as I said, it's not what you think. Sister Xiyao is just staying here temporarily because she's encountering some trouble."
Gong Meiling asked in half-belief, "Really?"
"Grandma, how would I dare lie to you," Ling Chen spread his hands, looking innocent.
"Who knows, you little rascal didn't inherit any of your dad's good qualities."
