The next day, I woke up early.
When I went out, I saw my grandfather quietly entering my room with my clothes.
I didn't say anything; I just stood at the door, watching him take my clothes away.
My grandfather seemed quite pleased as he carried the clothes to the bathroom.
I followed him into the bathroom, but to my surprise, he didn't put my clothes in the laundry basket; instead, he opened the washing machine and prepared to wash them.
It dawned on me that he wasn't trying to steal my clothes; he wanted to help me wash them.
However, I had already mentioned yesterday that I had an interview today.
I had already coordinated my outfit for the interview.
Was he trying to make me change my clothes?
I let out a cold laugh as I watched him put my clothes into the washing machine.
Once he finished, I pretended to just wake up and said, "Grandpa, what are you doing?"
"Ah?"
My grandfather jumped in surprise and turned to look at me. "Ning Ning, were you just talking to me?"
"What else could it be?"
I pointed at the clothes in the washing machine. "What are you doing with those?"
"I... I... I..."
My grandfather stammered, "I saw this outfit was dirty, so I thought I'd wash it for you."
"Who told you to wash it?"
I was very angry. "I have an interview today! You washed the outfit I had already prepared!"
"What?"
My grandfather feigned innocence. "I didn't know."
"If I had known you had an interview today, I definitely wouldn't have washed it."
Saying this, Grandpa started to complain about my mom: "It's all Zhang Xiaoxia's fault. She doesn't even know how to wash the clothes when they get dirty and makes me do it."
"What if I ruin Ning Ning's clothes and she doesn't pass the interview?"
"It's all Zhang Xiaoxia's fault."
As soon as he finished speaking, my dad walked over with a tired expression: "What are you arguing about so early in the morning?"
"Dad."
I pointed at the clothes in the washing machine: "I have an interview today, and the outfit I prepared has been washed by Grandpa."
"What?"
My dad paused for a moment, then said, "It's just one piece of clothing. Is it worth arguing over?"
"If you fail because of that outfit, then it's just bad luck for you."
My dad turned to look at Grandpa and tried to mediate: "Dad, just keep washing. It's just one piece of clothing; it's not a big deal."
"Besides, Dad, you were just being kind by helping Ning Ning wash her clothes. She should be grateful to you."
Seeing my dad on his side, Grandpa instantly became smug.
He turned to me: "Ning Ning, what are you still standing there for? Hurry up and change your clothes!"
"Exactly."
My dad snorted coldly: "Dad, keep washing. If she dares to stop you, I'll break her legs."
"Alright, alright."
Grandpa beamed with joy: "That's my son; he knows how to support me."
As he spoke, he shot me a disdainful glance.
That look was very dismissive.
In my past life, I had also severed ties with him because of that look.
This life, I won't do that again.
I took a step back, looked at Grandpa, and sneered: "Go ahead and wash; feel free to wash as you like."
"You think I'm like you?"
"Do you think I can only rely on others?"
"I'll tell you, I knew you would pull this stunt, so I was prepared long ago."
I turned around and walked towards the room.
Behind me, I heard my grandfather's voice: "This girl is really becoming more and more unreasonable."
"I'm an old man, it's not easy for me!"
"I kindly helped her with her laundry, and not only did she not thank me, but she even criticized me."
As he spoke, Grandpa started slapping his own face: "It's all my fault, all my fault."
"I'm getting old and confused; I didn't know my granddaughter had an interview today."
"If my granddaughter doesn't get the job, it's all my fault."
"I might as well just bang my head against the wall and end it."
Grandpa kept slapping his face, the sound echoing loudly.
However, there were no traces of tears on his face.
