Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Madam Ruan was already eighty-two years old that year. even though she was still extremely strong mentally, age was ruthless, and there were many things that she couldn’t do anymore. The old woman refused to cave to her age, constantly searching out exciting activities to try without paying mind to whether her body is able to withstand them.
All the members in the Ruan family were especially careful about preventing Madam Ruan from doing something she shouldn’t, especially driving. There was once when Madam Ruan had mistaken the accelerator for the brake, and that had resulted in her crashing into a tree. She gave the family the scare of a lifetime. Luckily, there wasn’t anyone that was injured in the incident, but it was because of that that the family had barred her from driving ever again. They always had someone following after her if she ever went out.
Madam Ruan was sick of those days, of being monitored everywhere she went. Knowing that everyone the people in the household now are those more lax about monitoring her, she quickly slipped into a maid’s uniform, before sneaking out of the house. When the people in the house realised that Mdm Ruan was missing, she was already enjoying the wind in her car on the highway.
Ruan Qishan was quick to call Madam Ruan, and she picked up the phone with one hand, driving with the other, “Speak!”
“Mom, where did you go?” Ruan Qishan’s voice was laced with panic.
“Aren’t you guys planning the marriage between my eldest grandson and the drama queen? You still have energy to care about where I’m going?” Madam Ruan chuckled, as she complained.
“You’re my mom, of course I care about you. Did you sneak out with the car again?” Madam Ruan was definitely causing them a lot of worry!
Madam Ruan hesitated for a moment, before stubbornly declaring, “So? I’m your mom, stop controlling me, I’ll do whatever I want! Don’t think that I am clueless, you’re tracking my location from my phone, I’ll turn it off immediately, so you can’t track me!”
Madam Ruan didn’t even wait for Ruan Qishan to reply before ending the call, looking down to turn her phone off.
By the time Madam Ruan looked up again, she was horrified to find out that in that short moment, she actually drove off course, and was on track to hit the hotel by the roadside! Madam Ruan panicked, wanting to slam on the breaks, but had once again mixed up the accelerators and the breaks. All she could do was watch as she, and the car, crashed into the stall.
It was in the evening, and the owner was still standing by the door. He saw a car coming straight for his shop. Thank goodness for his reflexes, if not for him jumping away in time, he would have been right in the route of the rogue car!
The owner and the wait staff were absolutely furious, surrounding the car in question quickly, shouting at the person responsible to get out of the car.
Who knew that the person coming out would be an old lady wearing a maid’s uniform. The old lady was clearly shaken, her hair was in a mess, and she couldn’t stop trembling.
The owner was stunned before his anger came all rushing back thinking about his losses. He roared at the old lady, “What were you doing?! You’re already so old, why did you come out of your home to go harm other people? Let me tell you, old woman, don’t think that I will go light on you just because you’re old!”
Madam Ruan took a moment to compose herself, taking a brief look at the shop that she had ruined. She patted down her pockets, realizing that she had left her wallet back home in her rush to get out.
“I didn’t bring money out… Do you think you could…”
The moment the owner heard that the old lady didn’t have money, he didn’t even wait for her to finish before interrupting her, “You didn’t bring money out? If you don’t compensate me by today, I’ll kill you right here!”
The owner was buff, even the staff that he had didn’t look like they were easy to deal with either. When all of them surrounded Madam Ruan, with the shock from the accident, it made her bad heart ache.
“Eh, old lady! Stop pretending! Even if you drop dead, you still have to compensate me first!” The shop owner thought that Madam Ruan was just faking it to get out of paying, his tone was getting more and more harsh.
“What are you shouting about? What can a bunch of men surrounding an old lady solve?”
A clear female voice traveled out from within, Ling Tianya walked out as she patted the dust off herself. When the old lady had crashed into the shop, Ling Tianya was dining within. She was lucky and had come within yards of getting too up close and personal with the vehicle.
