Chapter 213 - Elder Xiao Invite the Yue Family (2/2)
Hugging her tightly, Xiao Ran said with a smile, ”Don't worry, I will be here to accompany you. You won't feel lonely, Little Wan.”
These words just didn't feel right to Yue Xiang and Yue Yeager.
Yue Wan caught a hidden message in her words: 'I'll be here to accompany you on behalf of Hua.'
Her cheek blushed in embarrassment which could not be hidden from the other hawk-like eyes.
Xiao Ran in the same position, looked left and right, ”Welcome, Master Yue... Xiang.”
After that, she took Yue Wan inside to meet with the Elder Xiao who was walking down the stairs slowly.
Yue Xiang's brow arch raised in an obvious expression; he could see right through this act. 'That Shameful jerk.....he tricked them somehow.'
Looking at his father's perplexed expression, he lit a candle for Xiao Hua in his heart.
Elder Xiao saw them coming, he tried to control his emotions, however, looking at Yue Wan... The image of his cute granddaughter appeared in his eyes and made him rhapsodize in happiness.
Damn it! I'm falling for his trick.
Sensing the warm welcome, Yue Wan knew from her past that Elder Xiao always preferred Su Yunying as his granddaughter in law and was very prejudiced over her attitude. Well, who would not? If their granddaughter-in-law smoked, was an alcoholic, caused trouble, did drugs…She disappointed everyone, smeared her father's reputation, became an unremovable black stain on the Xiao and the Yue generation.
After her rebirth, she never once cared about what Elder Xiao or anyone from the Xiao family thought about her attitude..... but now, she wanted to change it for both revenge and love. The path would be very long, but she would never give up on Xiao Hua until the end. 'This is for you my son.'
Yue Wan smiled brightly and had an expression of gentle obedience: ”Elder Xiao, may your happiness be as immense as the Sea, and may you live as long as the Mountains.”
Hearing that, Elder Xiao's eyes widened in bewilderment. He could differentiate a person's true nature by their voice, whether it was from the heart or not.
As for Yue Wan, her voice carried some grace and respect which was from her heart. There was a vast change in her attitude from their past interactions. 'Did my grandson tamed this mighty Lion??'
Somehow Elder Xiao felt a little proud thinking that. Just a little! A tiny bit! ”Welcome.”
Following that Yue Yeager moved forward and gave his respect before patting his daughter in appreciation: ”Elder Xiao, thank you for inviting my family into your home. We're honored to be here.”
Elder Xiao's brows softened and his lips curved into a smile: ”It's my pŀėȧsurė. Your daughter saved my Ran's life and the Xiao family's reputation. Though she was quite a little sharp-tongued sometimes.”
”She is a mischievous child and quite straight forward, just like my dad. Please do not take it to heart!” Yue Yeager laughed and looked at his daughter full of tenderness and love.
Yue Wan acted calmly, though she had a sense of guilt in her. ”Forgive me, Elder Xiao. I shouldn't have acted like that during my last visit.”
Looking at Yue Wan's guilty face, Elder Xiao said with a smile, ”That's already a matter of the past, also you are not the one who was at fault. I judged you based on other's words and didn't give you a chance to explain yourself. Who hasn't made any mistakes when they were young? When Ran was about the age of yours, she frequently use her fist to explain due to her overbearing attitude.”
”Grandpa!!!” Xiao Ran was flustered. She shrieked while shaking her head.
Yue Yeager joined in: ”Xiang was even more rebellious at that time. I remember going to WAX every month as he always seemed to have punched someone or another. When did I ask him why he hit others? He would plainly say that he hated the other person's face.”
Both Elders started to bring out the shameful past of Xiao Ran and Yue Xiang.
With their deep past being revealed, Xiao Ran and Yue Xiang's face had turned completely black at this point: 'This ultra humiliation for them.'
