350 How? Why?
When Song Xueyun reached Han Nanxian’s grandfather’s house, she was curious why the old man asked her to bring clothes for the woman. She pressed the bell and a few moments later, a man in his fifties opened the door.
“Good evening, Young Madam. Please come inside, ” The caretaker said with a smile.
Song Xueyun paused. Young Madam? What was happening here? Then, her eyes widened. The old man found out that she and Han Nanxian got married to each other. How on earth did he find that out? She got nervous about meeting him. How would she face him? What would he say about their marriage?
Han Nanxian was an heir to a business empire. His position was no less than a prince’s. It’s no wonder that the Han family had expectations from their daughter-in-law. Would she be accepted? Maybe, Grandpa Han wanted someone like An Xiulan, another heiress for his grandsons. Her background was not even impressive. She was the daughter of a university professor. Her thoughts were running towards a negative side.
“Master Han is waiting for you in the living room, ” The caretaker said and she politely smiled. She walked towards the living room as she knew where it was because she had been to this house so many times that she knew about each nook and corner.
“Xueyun. My child. How are you?” Han Qian asked with a wide smile as he saw her coming. “Leave these bags on the table. Come here and have dinner.”
Song Xueyun softly nodded her head and put the bags on the table and went to the dining area. Her steps were not unhurried at all. As she reached the dining area, the old man asked her to take a seat and soon she was served food.
Han Qian angrily glared at Han Zixin. The boy blinked his eyes as he didn’t know what his grandfather was up to. “What?”
“Greet your Sister-in-law. Where are your manners?” Han Qian asked angrily, “Did I not teach you manners?”
Han Zixin’s head whipped to the other side and she looked at her in shock. “You and Ge (bro) got together?”
“Nanxian is slow but this time he made me the happiest man on the planet, ” Han Qian said with a wide smile. “What are you doing? You couldn’t even woo one young lady.”
Han Zixin lowered his head. “Grandpa, tell me seriously who do you love more? Me or Little blockhead?”
“Is it even a question?” The old man said. “I love both of you equally. But ever since you told me that you like her romantically, I started liking her even more. Just like how I like this granddaughter-in-law more now that she and Nanxian are together.”
Song Xueyun choked on food.
“Child, eat slowly, ” The old man said as he softly patted her back. “No need to hurry.”
Song Xueyun nodded her head and softly smiled.
“Such a good and beautiful girl, ” Han Qian said with a wide smile. “I have prepared Nanxian’s room for you. Why are you staying at your house alone? Why did that dunderhead let you come here alone? Doesn’t he know how difficult it is to get a wife these days?”
“He had something important to deal with in Shanghai, ” Song Xueyun answered.
p、A,nd A-n、o、ve,1 “Something more important than my dear granddaughter?” The old man grumbled. “Child, when he comes here, I will scold him for you.”
“No. No. Grandpa, don’t scold Nanxian, ” Song Xueyun shyly said. “It’s not his fault.”
The old man felt sweet about being called grandpa by her. “If you say so.”
When Song Xueyun was done eating, she stood up to take her bowl to the sink but she was stopped by the old man.
“Granddaughter, don’t do this, “The old man said. He looked at Han Zixin and asked him to pick up her utensils and place them in the sink. “You are the queen of our humble abode, how can we let you do any chore? Don’t you know how lonely it is for three men to live without a woman at home? Now that you entered our life we finally know the joy of having a woman in the family. You are supposed to be treated like a queen.”
Song Xueyun was touched by what the old man said. “Grandpa, do you feel said that Nanxian and I–”
“Not at all, ” The old man said. “I didn’t miss your wedding. You have so much time to plan it and I will be here to attend it. I’m happy that my dunderhead grandson finally won the woman he loved all his life. Let me tell you, he has always been fool for you. The first time he saw you, we all knew that he was a goner. All he used to say was your name. No one is happier than me today. You both made me so happy.”
Song Xueyun didn’t know why but she felt so touched to be accepted by this family. She could see in the old man’s parking eyes that he was not lying. He was genuinely happy by having her in this family. She never knew that she wanted to be part of this family but now that she had become a part of this family, she decided to fight for it. She wanted to be Mrs Han so badly now.
“Did you talk to your parents about it?” The old man asked.
Song Xueyun shook her head. “It’s not something that I want to tell them over phone. I think I’m going to upset them.”
Han Qian sighed. “You don’t have anything to worry about. I will talk to your parents and tell them that it’s all my grandson’s fault who is so in love with you that he couldn’t stop himself from signing a marriage certificate with you.”
Thud.
The water glass in Han Zixin’s hand fell to the ground and broke into tiny pieces. He quickly walked to Song Xueyun and asked, “You married my brother? How? Why?”
