Chapter 25: Shocking! The Eighty-Year-Old Granny Is Growing Black Hair Again!

[System Notification: Congratulations, Host! You’ve successfully earned 50 Surprise Points. You may now reduce your age by 5 years. Current physical state: 51 years old.]

Holding her phone, Lin Qingqing happily bounced and skipped her way home.

She left behind a crowd of people still reeling in shock, stuck in disbelief over the granny’s sky-high level street dancing.
Was this old lady using cheats or something?

On her way home, Lin Qingqing couldn’t stop herself from eagerly calculating how long it would take before she returned to being twenty years old.

Her phone wasn’t idle either.

Her descendants had created a voice chat group and were holding an emergency family struggle session meeting.

Qin He was the first to anxiously speak:
“Grandma, did you secretly learn video editing behind our backs, and use AI face-swapping technology to make that video just to prank us? Was the bungee jumping video last time also Photoshopped by you?”

Qin He would rather believe the video was fake than accept the idea that his grandmother had actually done all that.

After all, she was an eighty-year-old woman. With moves like that, her bones should’ve fallen apart! Besides, they never heard of her signing up for any street dance class either!

Qin Yansen and Qin Lao’er (Second Qin) and his wife also felt that what Qin He said made a lot of sense—otherwise, none of this could be explained.

Lin Qingqing calmly curled her lips into a smile.
“It’s not Photoshopped. It’s all real. If you don’t believe me, I can perform it again for you when I get home.”

Qin He quickly replied,
“No, no, please don’t. What if you strain your back again?”

Qin Yansen followed up,
“Grandma, could you stop participating in these extreme activities from now on? You’re not young anymore. If you really can’t stay idle… then how about… trying dating?”

Qin Haishan frowned and interjected,
“Date who? Your grandma’s already at this age!”

To put it bluntly, she wouldn’t even qualify for a late-in-life romance. Even if she got into one, it’d have to be in a coffin.

Qin He immediately sided with Qin Yansen,
“Dad, I think big bro is right this time. It’s better than grandma going bungee jumping and breakdancing every day. At least dating is safe! It’s not life-threatening!”

Then he thought of something and added,
“Also, remember how you said last time that grandma wouldn’t dare go bungee jumping? And she still went! That proves your judgments aren’t always right. You should consider our opinions more often.”

Qin Haishan let out a light tsk and fell silent.

He didn’t understand young people anymore, and now he didn’t even understand elderly people.
So he decided he’d just listen to what everyone else had to say before making any decisions.

When Lin Qingqing heard that her family agreed to let her date, she was initially excited, thrilled, and nervous.

She hadn’t dated even before she transmigrated to this world.

Because she was poor, she only focused on studying hard, finding a good job, and striving to make something of herself so her future wouldn’t be full of hardship.

There had been no time for love.

Whenever she saw others in sweet relationships, all she could do was feel envious.

But now things were different!

Even though she was widowed and had three sons, three grandsons, and a granddaughter—she was also the richest woman in the country!

She stood at the very peak of life. There was no need to struggle anymore. All she needed to do was enjoy, indulge, and live a life of luxury corrupted by money!

Lin Qingqing’s brain had just started to get hyped up when a sudden thought struck her—and sobered her instantly.

What if her family wanted to introduce her to some old geezers?

No way! That was completely out of the question!

Her eyes flickered, and she quickly said,
“Dating is pretty risky too. You see all those news stories about men killing their wives for insurance. I’m the richest person in the country—what if someone covets our family’s wealth?”

She refused to go on blind dates with old men. Her soul was only twenty-one years old—there was no way she could accept a grandpa-granddaughter romance.

Qin He was instantly persuaded: “…”

Qin Yansen calmly said,
“We can find someone we know well. I think Old Wang’s family is a good choice. Every year, they bring gifts to our house and show concern for your health.”

Qin He:
“Old Wang? No way! Even when Grandpa was alive, they visited often. Grandpa hated them the most—he said that old man had designs on Grandma.”

Qin Yansen:
“Isn’t that even better? That shows Old Wang has been secretly in love with Grandma for decades. That kind of long-lasting affection means he’ll surely treat Grandma well. If they can be together in their twilight years, it’d be the perfect ending for the both of them…”

By the end of his sentence, Qin Yansen let out a sigh.

Because as he said it, he suddenly thought of himself.

He wondered: if Mu Yiyi and Lu Zeyan didn’t have a happy ending, would he still have a chance to end up with Mu Yiyi?

Although what Mu Yiyi did—lying about being single—was really terrible, he still couldn’t stop worrying about her.
After all, this was the first time he had truly liked someone. No other girl had ever made his heart race like she did.

As for other women? He never even let them get close, let alone feel anything.
Only Mu Yiyi had effortlessly walked into his heart, and he didn’t even know why.
He just knew that he liked her. He liked her so much it hurt. He’d die for her if it came to that.

If Lin Qingqing knew what Qin Yansen was thinking right now, she’d probably be furious enough to cough up blood.

But right now, she didn’t know any of that.

All she knew was that her grandsons were trying to set her up with Old Wang!

Lin Qingqing quickly said,
“Your grandfather didn’t like him, and you still want to introduce him to me? Are you trying to make your grandfather roll in his grave?”

Qin Yansen:
“It’s okay. Grandpa will understand. You need someone to take care of you. I believe that compared to you constantly dancing with death, Grandpa would rather see you living well.”

Qin He:
“Grandma, if you want to date at your age, go for it now. We won’t hold a criticism meeting for you again. But if you don’t date soon… you’ll be dead…”

Goodness.

Other people say, “If you don’t fall in love now, you’ll grow old.”
But for her, it’s: “If you don’t fall in love now, you’ll die…”

And what kind of family urges their grandma to start dating?

Absolutely absurd!

“It’s not about your criticism meetings. I have my own pace. You guys stop meddling. I’m hanging up now—go do something productive.”

Lin Qingqing hung up the voice call as soon as she finished speaking.
She didn’t want to hear any more of her grandsons’ terrible suggestions.

Trying to use dating to restrain her wild, free-spirited ways?
Dream on!

Surprise Points—she had to get them, no matter what!

Not long after she got home, she received a notification from the street dance competition saying she’d passed the auditions and could move on to the next round.

Lin Qingqing was considering whether or not to continue participating.
After all, she’d already earned the Surprise Points from this batch.

—

The next morning, Lin Qingqing clearly felt refreshed and full of energy.

Her fifty-one-year-old body was in excellent shape. Compared to her previous condition, she was full of vitality.

After washing up, she headed downstairs.
There, Second Qin’s family and Qin Yansen were already sitting in the living room.

None of them spoke.
It looked like they were waiting for her.

Qin Yansen looked at his grandma seriously and said,
“Grandma, after our discussion last night, we’ve decided to take you on a blind date.”

Qin He:
“Grandma, you’ve worked hard your whole life—especially after Grandpa passed away. Things have only gotten harder for you. Watching your hair grow whiter day by day, we really—wait… your hair… Gra-Grandma, why are you growing black hair again?!”
