Chapter 68:Quickly Give Me A Grandson (1/2)
Jiang Ruolan always felt a bit awkward when meeting old people. She lived in an unfamiliar environment since she was a child until she was 17 years old. She lived alone with Yijun and rarely meets a good elder.
Under Zhan An's gentle gaze, she felt awkward and didn't know what to say. She looked skeptically at certain someone who was still pretending to be stupid.
”Mom.” Xian Zihao's eyes showed helplessness as he sighed and laughed. ”Stop forcing her. You're scaring her.”
”Scared?” Zhan An was stunned and quickly held Jiang Ruolan's hand tightly. ”Good child, don't be afraid. My personality is always like this. If you are not used to it, then it's fine, but you have to quickly give me a grandson. I can't wait to hear your child call me grandma. ”
Jiang Ruolan kept blinking her eyes. She turned her head to look at Xian Zihao, whose face was completely black.
Seeing the two of them behaving like this, Zhan An became unhappy. She glanced at Xian Zihao, who was just sitting there, not talking. ”Zihao, you've been married for two months. Where is my daughter-in-law's wedding ring?”
Zhan An raised Jiang Ruolan's hand gently and showed it to Xian Zihao. ”Is this how you treat my daughter-in-law?”
Xian Zihao's mouth twitched, ”Do you have to think this fast? Before, you were talking about grandchildren, and now you are talking about rings.”
”Not just the ring, look at your house, you don't even have a wedding photo. It doesn't matter if you don't have an engagement party, but a wedding should be held!! I will think of a way to persuade your father and grandfather. You can't treat my daughter-in-law like this. If someone else is having a wedding, then my daughter-in-law must have it too!”
Xian Zihao did not know whether to laugh or cry. Zhan An shook Jiang Ruolan's hand and said with a smile, ”Good child, see how impatient mom is. I have been here for a long time but I forgot to ask your name.”
”Auntie.” Jiang Ruolan lowered her head and whispered, ”My name is Jiang Ruolan.”
”Your surname is Jiang?”
”Yes.”
”Good, good, your surname is Jiang, and your name is also good. I like it!” Zhan An looked for the red packet she had prepared earlier and put it in Jiang Ruolan's hand. ”Good child, take it.”
”Auntie, I can't take this!” Jiang Ruolan pushed the thick red packet. She can't accept it.
Zhan An gently grabbed her hand. ”You can't refuse it. Since this is the first time I've met my daughter-in-law, I have to give her a red packet. This is a custom in China!”
”But …”
Xian Zihao, sitting next to Zhan An, knew that his mother had other intentions when she came at midnight. When he saw Jiang Ruolan refused the red packet, he said, ”Just take it. She gave it to you.”
Jiang Ruolan felt this was not a good idea but since Xian Zihao had already said it, it was not appropriate for her not to accept it. She awkwardly held the thick red packet with both hands and said, ”Thank you Auntie.”
Zihao stood and sat next to Jiang Ruolan. He looked at her with a slight tenderness in his eyes.”You still call her Auntie even though you already accepted the red packet?”
Zhan An smiled as she tilted her head, watching her son and daughter and daughter-in-law. Jiang Ruolan looked at Xian Zihao, who was next to her, with a non-smiling smile. She then turned to look at Zhan An, who was smiling at her.
Jiang Ruolan blinked in embarrassment. It had been twenty years since she uttered that word to anyone, so when she opened her mouth at this moment, she felt a little bothered. ”Mom.”
As the word came out of her mouth, the hand holding the red packet was suddenly tightened.
In her mind, Jiang Ruolan suddenly remembered the scene where she and Yijun stood on the roof twenty years ago and watched their mother's body fall from the building. For a moment, she felt lost.
Zhan An grinned from ear to ear. ”This child is really likable.”
Xian Zihao looked at that time, his words destroyed the warm and harmonious atmosphere. ”Mom, it's late. If you don't want to go home, I'll take you to the hotel.”
Jiang Ruolan smiled. ”Auntie, sleeping late is not good for your health. You should rest early. Zihao will send you home.”
