Chapter 107: The Anshuang Brother Who Can’t Hide His Secret
Chapter 107: The Anshuang Brother Who Can’t Hide His Secret
Grandma Chen knew they were coming from the beginning, but unfortunately her waist was injured and she couldn't move, so she could only wait for them to come.
But as soon as they came in, Grandma Chen's eyes were involuntarily attracted by Lu Ci, or to be more precise, by his bright yellow hair.
Xie Xingran sat on the stool beside the bed and held the old man's withered hand:
"Grandma Chen, is your back feeling better? I'm sorry something happened a while ago and I couldn't come to see you. I came in a hurry this time and didn't bring any gifts."
Grandma Chen retracted her gaze and patted Xie Xingran's hand: "Why are you being so polite to me? I'm very happy that Xiaoxing can come. Have you dealt with the previous matters?"
Xie Xingran curled his lips: "Okay, it's not a big deal."
Then, she pulled Lu Ciye over and introduced him, "Grandma Chen, this is my husband, Lu Ciye. I met him at work, and he's very good to me."
She deliberately emphasized the word "辞", fearing that Grandma Chen would mishear it like Grandma Wang.
Otherwise, this guy would have another excuse to bother her late at night.
There were no extra stools, so Lu Ci squatted aside, smiled brightly, and said:
"Hello, Grandma Chen. I'm Xiaoxing's husband. My wife often tells me about you. Thank you so much for taking care of her over the years."
Grandma Chen smiled at him indifferently, said "hmm", and that was all.
"Zixuan, I have something I want to talk to my aunt alone. Take your uncle out for a walk."
Zixuan jumped over and pulled his hand: "Uncle, let's go, I'll take you to see the goslings I raised."
Lu Ci was not slow-witted and could feel Grandma Chen's alienation towards him, but this was their first meeting and he couldn't understand why she didn't like him.
He let Zixuan pull him out of the door in a daze, still wondering before leaving:
[Well, haven't I always been loved by everyone and flowers bloom wherever I go?]
Xie Xingran: ...You are not RMB, how can everyone love you?
Although she thought so, as soon as the others left, she immediately spoke well of Lu Ciye in front of the old man.
"Grandma Chen, he's really a good person. He's kind to me and saved me twice. He..."
"Okay, Xiaoxing," Grandma Chen interrupted her, "Are you really sure he's a good person?"
Xie Xingran thought, of course, with his love-sick brain, she could guess what he was thinking without any mind reading skills.
Grandma Chen looked at the lush plum trees outside the window, a look of nostalgia in her eyes.
"Xiaoxing, I dreamed of your grandma last night. She is still as beautiful as she was when she was young."
When they broke up, they were both only 27 or 28 years old, and each was the most beautiful in the other's memory.
"Xiaoxing, has your grandma never mentioned your grandpa?"
Xie Xingran was stunned. She had never mentioned it on her own initiative, and she had never even seen her grandmother miss her grandfather.
When she asked about it when she was a child, her grandmother just perfunctorily said that she had died a long time ago. Her brother was afraid that her grandmother would be sad, so he told her not to mention the name "grandfather".
So from childhood to adulthood, her grandfather was just a dead person with a weak presence to her.
There was no so-called grandfather's grave in the village, and this was the first time she heard the word "grandfather" from someone else's mouth.
Grandma Chen: "Your grandpa is a beast worse than pigs and dogs!"
Xie Xingran was surprised and curious, and then she heard the story about her grandmother and the beastly grandfather from Grandma Chen.
In that era, many people went to the countryside to teach. It was under such circumstances that my grandmother and the beastly grandfather met and got to know each other, but the beastly grandfather had a fiancée.
After grandma found out, she was determined to break up, but the beastly grandpa refused to admit it and said that grandma was his true love and he would cancel the engagement when he got home.
But grandma still refused to give in. She felt extremely regretful when she thought about being forced into being a mistress and possibly hurting another woman.
Later, seeing that grandma was not moved at all, the beastly grandfather got angry and forced grandma while drunk, and finally left and has not been seen for many years.
My grandmother was a very strong person. All her relatives had passed away long ago, so after the teaching mission ended, she chose to stay and continue teaching.
It was not until eight months that my grandmother found out she was pregnant, but it was too late to have an abortion.
In this way, the beast grandfather's offspring was born by grandma, but the beast is a beast, and so is his offspring.
During those years, no matter how hard her grandmother taught her, her scumbag father remained an uneducated bastard.
He was lucky enough to marry her mother, which gave birth to her and her brother, but he only lived peacefully for three years before he ended up hanging out with drug dealers...
The story is very simple and can be summarized in a few sentences, but grandma's life was ruined by this father and son.
Xie Xingran would rather not have the chance to be born than want his grandmother and mother to encounter such a beast.
However, "Grandma Chen, what does this have to do with your dislike for Lu Ci?"
Grandma Chen said coldly, "That beastly grandfather of yours also has the surname Lu."
Xie Xingran: ...So Grandma Chen hates everyone with the last name "Lu" equally?
She quickly asked back, "Which Lu? Lu Ci also has the left ear and a guerrilla attack."
“…That beast is a passerby’s way,” Grandma Chen was stunned for a second.
Xie Xingran breathed a sigh of relief and was about to persuade her again, but Grandma Chen took the lead again and frowned:
"But before your scumbag dad went to jail, he often dyed his hair yellow and walked around with other yellow-haired people."
Xie Xingran: Oh, as expected, he shouldn’t dye his hair.
The older generation has basically no good feelings towards Huangmao, not to mention that Grandma Chen hates her scumbag father so much.
"He was able to marry your mother because he staged a heroic rescue scene himself, and your mother followed him wholeheartedly.
As a result, his true nature was revealed within a few years, and he eventually caused your mother to die in childbirth.
So Xiaoxing, are you sure it was really him who saved you those two times before, and it wasn't just a self-directed act?
You were still with Mr. Jiang for the first half of the year, and now you're marrying him so soon. Although Mr. Jiang is also at fault, who knows what he might be doing behind the scenes."
Xie Xingran: Uh...
As for the An Shuang brother who couldn't hide his secrets, she really didn't believe that Lu Ci could do anything behind her back.
Besides, they had no interaction before, and now she could hear his inner thoughts, so it was even more impossible for him to do anything behind his back.
All I can say is that Grandma Chen cares too much about her and is too conspiracy-minded.
Grandma Chen: "In short, when choosing a man, you must open your eyes and don't be kidnapped by any favors. You must always protect yourself and don't be like your grandma, who was violated but had no ability to fight back."
Xie Xingran was silent for a long time before he said:
"Grandma Chen, I'm very sure that he's different from that beastly father and son. He saved me twice and didn't lie. He treated me very well, cooked for me, and even taught me martial arts.
Grandma Chen, I know you care about me and are afraid that I will follow in the same footsteps as grandma or mom, but I have always been moving in a better direction with him and have not blindly indulged in love.
If he treats me badly in the future, I promise you, I will never miss him, and I will never let myself get hurt."
After listening to this, Grandma Chen sighed heavily:
"It's good that Xiaoxing has this courage. Grandma knows that I am too biased and one-sided. I just hope that Xiaoxing can be happy and not end up like your grandma and mom."
Xie Xingran held the old woman's hand and said, "Grandma Chen, I will be happy, and you will live a long life."
