Chapter 418 – No, I Can’t Live Up To That Expectations
Lin Yan was even more shocked than Wu Dei. He knew that his wife was really unique arms her smartness knew no bounds.
There were countless ideas in her head that were so novel that many people found her interesting but -This was different!
Lord Fei wasn't someone they could match up to. Despite not knowing how pristine Lord Fei's background was Lin Yan, still thought that this matter couldn't be allowed!
Who were they? And who was Lord Fei? What kind of prank was this? Do all rich people play like this?
Lin Yan was anxious in his heart not only Su Wan was a cause of his worry with her straightforward and blunt attitude but now there were two devils at home as well!
Those two – if Lord Fei became Su Wan's God grandfather then it will be really troublesome. He will be anxious the entire time!
Worrying who exactly might end up offending Lord Fei first. "My Lord.. this I am afraid is not proper. We are nothing but commoners. How can my wife be your god granddaughter? This is something I am afraid might bring troubles for you, so why don't you think about it again?"
When Wu Dei saw that Lin Yan was actually refusing to accept this opportunity. His impression of the husband and wife improved by a lot of degrees.
He strode forward and openly expressed his views as well. "Master Lin is right, My lord….this matter, perhaps why don't you wait for Madam to return from her stay at the old mansion at the capital? Then the two of you can sit down and discuss it together? After that you can make your decision?"
Lord Fei once acted as the strategist for the young Emperor and even led him to throw his father off the throne.
He had seen the storms of the capital while leading the army valiantly!
He was the one who gave the young Emperor the courage to stab his father in the heart when the former hesitated.
Despite his gentle and good personality, Lord Fei was someone whose heart has gone cold long ago.
No one could melt his heart. He could give you the world when you still hold an important position in his heart but once you lost that place, he wouldn't even hesitate to stab you in the heart and have his next meal on your bloody corpse.
A man who could convince the young Emperor to rebel against his father, the former Emperor was someone to be feared.
And this gallant and an imposing man whose name was enough to make his enemies tremble with the mere mention of his name had only one weakness -his wife.
He couldn't be considered as a henpecked husband but he have seen enough of the palace's schemes and resolutely chose that one woman who moved his heart.
In the beginning Lord Fei only treated his wife with courtesy and respected her but once the two of them lost their only son, he became more considerate and his love for her doubled.
Lord Fei glared at his trusted servant and immediately scoffed. "What I want is exactly what my wife wants! She also wanted to adopt a granddaughter long ago but nobody fit in the bar! Is that my fault? Little Wan Wan is smart and she is more sensible than that brat of yours! What did he say? Having a birthday banquet at the seaside restaurant would be nice? Humph! Compared to him little Wan Wan is more clever. I can assure you that my wife will like Wan Wan, who will not like a gentle and considerate child?"
Wu Dei who was scolded felt that he was greatly wronged. His grandson only choose that restaurant because Lord Fei said that his wife likes water lilies.
They only wanted Madam Fei to be happy! Who would have known that their care and consideration would become an evidence of their lack of consideration?
Wu Dei felt his headache with a throbbing pain! He knew his master has set his mind on Su Wan and wouldn't listen to anyone.
Once the emperor finds out about this he would definitely send him to be punished!
The master's faults weren't faults after all. It was the servant's faults who couldn't dissuade his master!
If someone else was sitting in place of Su Wan and found out that a high ranking official wanted to adopt her as his granddaughter, she would have screamed out in glee but who was Su Wan?
She was someone who has seen the worse in her past life. She wasn't someone who would depend on family relationships.
After her experience with her dead beat father she really didn't have any expectations from any relationship that had the word 'father' in it.
Even now she was still getting used to her father-in-law, so she calmly smiled and sincerely said. "Lord Fei thank you for your affections and praises -however I still can't accept your kindness"
Wu Dei who was already imagining his sufferings snapped his head up. 'Haa?' The great uncle of the emperor chose you as his god granddaughter! It's a blessing that someone wouldn't get even in seven lifetimes and yet you dared to refuse my great Lord? Who do you think you are..your just a peasant's wife!
Su Wan didn't pay attention to Wu Dei who was turning purple instead she continued.
"Lord Fei it's really my good luck if I accept your proposal but I am afraid that I cannot live up to the expectations that you have towards me. My father never liked me and sold me away. Alot of villagers call me an 'ill star' Because my mother passed away when I was born." Su Wan glanced at her husband. Unable to hide the bit of sadness and affection in her gaze and continued.
"And now I live as the shared wife, of my husbands and a lot of people look down on me. But it's my greatest fortune, that my husbands treat me really well but -no matter what my existence is; it's not appropriate for me to be your granddaughter." Su Wan still remembered that her father called her a disappointment because she couldn't live up to the expectations.
Everyone might think that she was wise and clever but this was what she feared the most.
With praises came high expectations and she didn't want to live up to anyone's expectations anymore no matter how important the person was.
