Chapter 202 - Old Man Xian’s Birthday Banquet II (1/2)
Xian Guiying's face froze as she turned to look at Old Man Xian. ”Grandpa, don't tell me that you have been looking for news about your grandson all this time? Does my mother know? My mom has endured too much in the Xian Family for so many years. If it wasn't for her good attitude, she would have long been driven mad by all of you! You want me to be like my mother? I'm sorry, I can't do it!”
”Guiying!” The Old Man's face was ashen. He was just about to scold her angrily when Xian Zihao cut him.
His expression had already darkened as he scolded Xian Guiying in a low voice, ”Don't be so angry. Swallow those words that you shouldn't have said! Don't say anymore!”
Xian Guiying was really furious and when she saw Cui Liuxian's wronged expression, she was also a little impulsive. She let out a long sigh and looked at Xian Zihao's dark expression. She knew that she had said something wrong.
”Mom is helping Nanny Cheng. Go take a look.” Xian Zihao gave her a look.
Xian Guiying nodded and raised her hands to rub her ears. She lowered her head and restrained her temper before turning to leave. She didn't even bother to look at the Old Man Xian or Cui Liuxian.
”Grandfather, Sister Guiying's character has always been like this, don't be too angry.” Cui Liuxian raised her hand and patted the Old Man's chest as if she helped him vent his anger.
”Humph!” Old Man Xian's expression softened a little, but he continued to pout. ”Stupid girl, always trying to get me mad.”
It seems that all the previous efforts have been for naught …
It was no wonder that Xian Guiying didn't want to stay at home. Who could be like Cui Liuxian, who could hold back her anger and maintain a calm demeanor in front of the Old Man?
Actually, if Xian Guiying really didn't love this family, she could have turned the world upside down. How could she endure things to such an extent?
”Guiying has always been straightforward since she was young. Didn't she carry on grandpa's personality as well?” Xian Zihao smiled as he tried to smooth things over.
Old Man Xian coldly pursed his lips and used both hands to support his walking stick. He glanced at them, then turned back to look at Cui Liuxian, who was lowering her head in silence and sighed, ”Liuxian, you should control your mouth too. Guiying has been ignoring me, her grandpa, for so many years and didn't even want to return home. Now that she's returned, it wasn't easy for her to act coquettishly to me.”
Cui Liuxian nodded. ”Grandfather, I was wrong. I'm sorry.”
”It's good that you know you're wrong. It's great that our family is on good terms with each other. Guiying has a short temper and she really did follow me. Child, you're so open-minded. Just bear with it. Grandpa knows I had wronged you.”
Cui Liuxian nodded obediently once again. ”Alright, I understand. Grandfather, I will apologize to Sister Guiying. Don't be angry anymore.”
Cui Liuxian was as innocent as a child who knows her wrongs and sometimes speaks the wrong words.
From the looks of it, if Jiang Ruolan hadn't known that Cui Liuxian knew how to act, she really would have been tricked just like that.
”And you, Jiang girl, I heard that you almost lost your life because of Zihao a while ago. Considering that you didn't even care about your own life, I can accept the marriage between you and Zihao for the time being. But don't think that it's going to end so easily. Liuxian is my granddaughter-in-law, I won't let her off that easily!
”And you, Zihao! You brat! Handle this matter carefully!” As soon as the Old Man said these words, he walked back into the house while pursing his lips. But just as he turned around, he paused and looked behind them.
Jiang Ruolan was looking at Xian Zihao's face. Because of the old man's words, her lips curved into a calm smile. However, when she saw the slight chill in his eyes as he turned around, she couldn't help but turn her head back as well.
It was unknown when, but many people had arrived at Xian Residence. Xian Jian, Old Li, Jiang Guanyu, Zhan Lian, the sweet and fresh Jiang Bingqing that was dressed beautifully, as well as Senior Zhou and Zhou Shufen, who wore a light yellow dress with slightly curled long hair.
Zhou Shufen's smiling face was still as perfect as ever. Her smiling eyes were as bright as the moon and water. Her slender and elegant neck slightly turned as she looked at Xian Zihao and Jiang Ruolan.
When Jiang Ruolan saw Zhou Shufen's meaningful gaze, which was filled with playfulness, she secretly frowned. She didn't know why, but she felt nervous.
Under Zhou Shufen's forceful gaze, she felt like she was suffocating.
