ch 520 - Group Breakthrough; Heading to Capital City 1 (2/2)

“I have already had everything arranged. It’s just that your maternal grandmother will be arriving in the next few days. We won’t be able to head out until she has arrived.”

“What? What maternal grandmother?”

That was an unfamiliar term to her. Cheng Xiao Xiao immediately thought of her uncle and Gong Zixuan. She couldn’t help but found this whole thing disturbing. Did this maternal grandmother of her truly only care about her son but not her daughter?

No matter what had happened back then, this grandmother had never came looking for her mom. She had no idea what was going through her mind. Plus, she was probably here this time mainly for her son.

“Why is she visiting right now?”

“Eh, Xiao Xiao, what’s the matter?” Cheng Biyuan noticed that she didn’t look too happy. “Is it because of your grandmother?”

“Ugh. Never mind. I’m not going to worry about it right now.”

Both of them noticed that she was behaving oddly and couldn't help but exchanged a look. Cheng Biyuan smiled bitterly and said, “It looks like Xiao Xiao wasn’t a big fan of my mother-in-law. My mother-in-law had never showed up all these years. Never mind Xiao Xiao, I am not that happy myself either.”

“The matters about your family…”

Zhou Jinjiang shook his head, “It was so complicated, we wouldn’t even know where to start. Come to think about it, your father-in-law was upset at you because you had interrupted his plan and stole his daughter. At least he has a good reason. As for your mother-in-law, I heard that she had maintained written communication with sister-in-law this entire time. How come she never tried to reach out and help you out?

“So what if your father-in-law didn’t want to? If she had truly wanted to help you out, no matter how much your father-in-law objected to it, she would still have been able to do that. I don’t believe that she could write to her but not be able to do anything to help out. Who’d believe such a thing?”
