My Little Sweet Wife Chapter 202

Chapter 202 - Old Man Xian’s Birthday Banquet II

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.

As he could feel it, Xian Zihao had already locked their fingers together in that instant. Gradually, his calm and cold black eyes fell on Zhou Shufen's body.

However, the most unexpected thing was that Jiang Guanyu's family would also rush to the Xian Residence today.

On the other side, Jiang Bingqing followed behind her parents. Her gaze was leisurely looking in her direction, and there was a thick, undisguised, scornful look in her eyes.

"It's this lively?" Senior Zhou and Xian Jian walked in front side by side. When they saw the bright lights under the opposite awning and the scenery full of flowers and saw the Old Man Xian, they immediately walked over with a smile.

Although Senior Zhou had a smile on his face, his expression was still dignified and cold.

With Senior Zhou's presence, he immediately gave people an invisible pressure. He was like a king looking down on the whole world. His bright eyes just scanned the whole place, and then the whole place became solemn.

"It's really my honor to have Senior Zhou coming here tonight. If I don't make the house more lively, how can this abandoned garden enter your eyes, right Senior Zhou?" On the other side, Old Man Xian was full of smiles. He happily walked towards Senior Zhou with his walking stick in his hand. Cui Liuxian was following from behind.

"Tingfeng, do you really take me as an outsider when you say those words?" Senior Zhou laughed heartily. He turned his head to look behind him, "It's such a coincidence that we met Jiang Guanyu along the way. We have really borrowed your birthday to be gathered together with our old friends!"

"Senior Zhou must be joking. Back then, I was still a nobody. Wasn't the achievement I have today all thanks to Senior Zhou's promotion back then?" Jiang Guanyu's tone was very polite, but his tone seemed to be saying something.

"Yeah, I really didn't expect to meet Senior Zhou here. Originally, we came to H City today for Old Man Xian's eighty-fifth birthday and even wanted to visit him in the next few days. It is truly an honor to meet you here! I presume Senior Zhou also came to celebrate Old Man Xian's birthday?" On the other side, Zhan Lian lightly patted Jiang Bingqing's hand.

With a look in her eyes, she told Jiang Bingqing not to say anything, then stood next to Jiang Guanyu with a smile on her face.

"Of course, although I have entered the business world, but before I have occupied China, I have been Old Man Xian's comrade-in-arms for decades."

"Oh, the reason for me coming back to H City this time is due to this disappointing granddaughter of mine and also to visit this old friend of mine. How can I not come over for his birthday?" When Senior Zhou mentioned his granddaughter, his gaze faintly swept over to Xian Zihao, and then he quietly looked back and raised his eyebrows while smiling at Zhou Shufen.

"Grandpa ~ Look at what you're saying ~ ~" Zhou Shufen whispered behind Senior Zhou. There was a complaint in her eyes as she smiled. She turned around and smiled to Old Man Xian, who was already walking over." Grandpa Xian, today I came here to congratulate you. I was in a hurry to prepare a gift for you, so if it is not satisfying to your eyes, please don't blame me."

"How could I? How could I dare to accept Miss Zhou's gift? With you and Senior Zhou's presence, it already gave this Old Man a lot of face!" Old Man Xian was grinning from ear to ear.

He looked at Zhou Shufen with praise in his eyes, "As expected from Senior Zhou's granddaughter. Although she is a delicate girl, her body is full of Senior Zhou's attitudes. Calm and fearless."

"Grandpa Xian is flattering me. I don't dare to accept your praise. I heard that the Xian Family also joined the army and then set foot in the business world. Grandfather Xian, I heard that you have already set up a Xian's Ancestral Hall at home dozens of years ago. Not only is it the place where the Xian Family used to be, but it also contains the monuments of many famous heroes."

"Ancestral hall?"

Old Man Xian was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Zhou Shufen to know about the Xian Family's secret. His gaze suddenly turned to Xian Zihao, and his expression turned serious.

Jiang Ruolan was also stunned for a moment before she immediately understood what was going on.

Xian Zihao had always been rational and cautious, not someone who could casually divulge the Xian Family's secrets. Someone who could make him tell Xian Family's secrets most likely had a close relationship with him.

Even though Jiang Ruolan could tell that Zhou Shufen had come prepared, even though she told herself time and time again that she didn't need to pay too much attention to it, that it was all in the past, and everyone had their own past. Even though she was standing there with a straight face and fearless eyes, the uneasiness in her heart gradually grew, spreading to her limbs until they were ice-cold.

"Miss Zhou is actually interested in these things that are nearing the archaic era?" Old Man Xian suddenly said.

"I prefer Buddhism, believe in ghosts and gods and believe in the soul. The Xian Family has been loyal for generations, so it would be great if I could pay my respects too. Furthermore, a friend of mine once promised that he would definitely take me to pay my respects when I arrived at the Xian Residence. He said that Grandpa Xian liked filial piety and obedient girls and that my respect for the Xian Family's ancestral hall means that I respect you too, grandpa Xian." Zhou Shufen's pair of watery eyes were innocent. She blinked lightly and looked straight at Xian Zihao.

For someone like Xian Zihao, how intimate must someone be with him, for him to be able to share the secrets of their home like that?
