189 As Handsome As My Boyfriend (1/2)
Iris felt like she shouldn't be listening to this kind of private family matters. Although they were very nice to her and insisted on treating her like family, they just met each other today for the first time after all. So she cleared her throat to get everyone's attention. Then she excused herself to go the washroom.
Grandma Li and Huang Yuyan finally realized that they said too much in front of her. They stiffened. On the other hand, Grandpa Lu looked carefree.
A maid led Iris to the nearest powder room.
When she was gone, Grandpa Lu's carefree expression turned into a scowl. ”Hmph! Just so you know, I'm already eyeing Xiulan for my Haohao!” He glared at his friend. ”Your grandsons are already taken so don't even try stealing her away!”
”Our youngest might be engaged, but there's still our eldest,” Grandma Li retorted.
”But Mother, he already has a girlfriend,” Huang Yuyan said.
Grandma Li: ”A girlfriend is not a wife, nor a fiancée. Wait, are you sure it's girlfriend and not a boyfriend?”
”Uh, I'm sure he said that it's a girlfriend.”
Grandpa Lu: ”Ahahaha!”
”He also told me that he plans to marry his girlfriend.”
”What? Marry?!” Grandma Li looked stunned. ”Who's his girlfriend?”
”I don't know. But he said that he'll introduce her to us soon.”
”He sounds serious. It matches his personality. He's very decisive, just like his grandfather.” Grandma Li sighed. ”I just wish he met Xiulan earlier than his girlfriend. It would be great to have a granddaughter-in-law who's a Cross Academy student. Brother Jianhong, why didn't you introduce Xiulan to us sooner?”
”Hmph! I'm now regretting introducing her to you in the first place! If I only knew that you'll also eye her, I would've hidden her until my Haohao returns to the country!”
”You selfish, old man.” Grandma Li rolled her eyes.
”You thieving, old hag!”
”Say that again, you loud-mouthed gorilla!”
The two continued to insult and glare at each other, while Huang Yuyan looked at them helplessly.
Finally, Iris returned. The two bickering friends immediately transformed into dignified elders. They began chatting pleasantly with each other, as if they weren't bickering like two unruly children just a few seconds ago.
Huang Yuyan sighed in relief and gave Iris a grateful smile.
Iris smiled back, clueless as to what happened.
The four chatted together. The two older ladies were very curious about Iris. Grandpa Lu mentioned that Iris was busy with her career in addition to learning from him and her other instructors. They asked what her work was.
”I'm a musician,” she answered.
”Oh! My younger son is also a musician,” Huang Yuyan said.
Grandma Li nodded.
”Hmm. Now that you mention it, I do feel like I've seen you before. You look familiar,” Huang Yuyan said, studying Iris. ”Have you released any songs recently?”
Before Iris could answer, Grandpa Lu's voice boomed. ”Of course! Xiulan is a popular celebrity! Her music is currently number 1 in the music charts! She even defeated your son! Ahahaha!”
