As soon as Xu Nuan and Han Zihao got out of the car, the servants who were waiting for them ran inside the Mansion to inform others.
Xu Nuan was caught off guard to see such a chaotic welcome as if they're some celebrities. She glanced at Han Zihao and smiled helplessly.
" Seems like Han Liang has already announced the news of us being together." she giggled.
They were planning to reveal the news to others, but Han Liang, the dumb-headed prince has once again proved that he truly deserves this name.
Han Zihao sighed and placed a hand on her back, " Let's go. This night is going to be quite chaotic."
-
Upon hearing the news of their arrival, Grandma Han threw her elegant image to the side and ran to the entrance corridor to welcome them.
Han Liang frowned seeing her running away like an old horse and followed her, " Oh My God!! Old woman, slow down. They're not going anywhere."
Grandma Han smiled widely to see Xu Nuan and went straight to give her a tight hug, pulling her away from Han Zihao, " Oh My dear, I missed you so much. Why didn't you come to meet me all this time, even for once, huh?" She asked while caressing her face.
" I thought we were friends." She pouted upsettingly.
Xu Nuan was surprised to see Grandma Han's extremely cute-clingy behavior. No elder has ever treated her this way, not even her grandfather.
She smiled and held her hand, " I am sorry Grandma. From now on, I will contact you more often."
" That's my girl. Now come inside, everyone is waiting for you," she said and started to pull her along with her, leaving Han Zihao behind.
Han Zihao was speechless to see his Grandmother's biased attitude towards him. Before whenever he used to come to Han Mansion, she used to shower with all the love and attention, and now she is leaving him behind as if he doesn't belong here.
Is she the same Grandma that he used to know?
Han Liang looked at his brother's pitiful state who was ignored and chuckled, " Serves you right."
" Get Lost!" Han Zihao glared at him.
-
Inside, everyone was waiting for them in the living room. Upon seeing Xu Nuan coming with Grandmother Han, everyone stood up to welcome her.
Xu Nuan spotted Han Zihao's mother Cheng Zixing and greeted her with a smile but her smile paused when she spotted some new faces.
She was confused as she had never met other family members of Han Zihao.
Grandmother Han saw her confusion and introduced her to others, " He is Han Zihao's Grandfather. It's your first time meeting him, isn't it?" she said while pointing to a man who was looking at her with a warm smile.
The old man was wearing a brown formal suit, his hair had turned white and some black hair spots could be seen on the scalp. The evidence of aging, the wrinkles on his face was obvious but other than that, he had maintained his health and body quite well.
Compared to his age, he looked handsome. Even though he was holding a wooden stick in his hand for support, she can tell that he must be a heartthrob in his times.
No doubt Han Zihao is so handsome. Handsomeness is in his genes afterall.
She bowed slightly and politely greeted him. The old man smiled back at her and waved his hand, " No need to be formal. Just think of me as your grandfather."
Grandmother Han scoffed to see the old man pretending to be a nice guy in front of his Granddaughter-in-law. " Grandfather, my foot! At the age of playing with grand-grandchildren, you're traveling with your friends. Hah!"
Xu Nuan glanced at Grandmother Han in shock and could feel her face turning red at her comment.
'Grand-grandchildren?'
Grandfather Han cleared his throat seeing his wife staining his image in front of Xu Nuan and said, " Don't talk nonsense. She came to our house for dinner, are you planning to fight all day?"
In the past few months, he wasn't at home as he went on a world trip with his friends. That's why he couldn't meet Xu Nuan when she came to the Han Mansion the last time.
His abrupt world trip shocked his wife since he didn't take her with him and went with his friends without telling anyone.
When she found out that he already went on a trip, she stopped talking to him. Even after coming back, she is still angry with him and doesn't talk to him without making a sarcastic remark.
He knows that he deserves it, but he had fun, so who cares. It was his first time going on a trip alone. He doesn't want to die without doing some adventure.
Who said that only young people can have fun? He earned so much money and built this big empire, can't he steal a bit of time for himself?
He might be the chairman of a big Corporation but at home, he has to abide by his wife's laws.
However, he can't allow her to taint his reputation in front of the younger generation, he is the head of the house after all.
She is new, she shouldn't see all of this so early.
Grandmother Han scoffed and turned to the man standing next to him and said, " He is Han Zihao's father and my elder son, Han Jianhong. He was out of the country for a business trip when you visited us as well."
" Greet him, he is going to be your father-in-law." She said suggestively, making Xu Nuan turn red at her words.
'Grandma Han is too straightforward. They haven't even thought about it that far and she is already fixing the relationships.'
Han Jianhong smiled and greeted her back. He glanced at his son who was walking inside with Han Liang and was glad to see Han Zihao getting along well with everyone.
The glow on his face appeared to be different and even his eyes were smiling. It was his first time seeing his son this happy.
It's a good thing that Han Zihao found the girl whose existence is enough to make him smile.
--
After exchanging greetings, they all proceeded towards the dining table as it was time for dinner.
Xu Nuan's mouth fell off seeing the long white dining table covered with various dishes. It was not just a dinner but a whole feast.
The chairs were orderly arranged for them. Grandfather Han sat on the center, head table, meanwhile Grandmother Han sat on his right.
Grandma Han pulled Xu Nuan to sit beside her, while Han Zihao sat next to her.
The other three members took the seats opposite to them.
Grandma Han didn't allow Xu Nuan to take anything herself, instead, she served her, herself to pamper her.
" Xu Nuan, you don't need to worry. Han Zihao has already informed me that you don't eat mushrooms, so there are no mushrooms in any of the dishes."
Han Liang frowned. " But Grandma, I like mushrooms. You should have made something for me at least."
Grandma Han glared at him, " If you want to eat mushrooms, go to the hotel. How can you be so inconsiderate?"
" No doubt you don't have a girlfriend. If I had a granddaughter, I wouldn't allow her to date a man like you too!"
"....."
Han Liang was speechless and was ready to bang his head on the table. His family doesn't respect him at all.
Does she have to be this blunt with her words?
Xu Nuan looked at him and chuckled. She might bicker with Han Liang all the time, but there are no hard feelings.
Han Liang is also a cousin of Han Zihao however, their relationship is different from what she has with her cousin. She can't even bear to look at her face.
The reason why she can't eat mushrooms and the dark past that makes her feel guilty is all because of her.
If not for her, her life would have been much better and brighter. If not for her, her parents would have been with her, meeting with Han Zihao's family, and would be happy for their daughter.
As she was lost in her thoughts, she heard Cheng Zixing say, " To be honest, I never thought that you would actually get admission in Xin Lin when you said the last time. Meanwhile, your high-school performance was not that great as I have heard."
" How did you manage to get into Xin Lin? It's not an ordinary college after all." She asked while looking at Han Zihao in question.
Xu Nuan raised her brows as she could see the suspicion in her eyes. It was obvious that she was assuming that she got into the college because of him.
Han Zihao frowned and looked at his father. Jianhong was also surprised at his wife's sudden question.
Xu Nuan smiled as she didn't mind her question and squeezed Han Zihao's hand gently under the table before answering, " Hmm….using my talent? For colleges like Xin Lin, they sure have extraordinary smart students, but….they don't have skilled ones."
" Moreover, when they're getting a smart and skilled student like me, why would they miss such a golden opportunity?" She asked while smiling at her.
Han Liang, who was drinking water, almost choked and coughed before laughing, " Oh God, Xu Nuan. How can you praise yourself so shamelessly?"
Xu Nuan looked at him and winked, before turning to Cheng Zixing, who was also surprised by her response.
Grandma Han looked at Xu Nuan with a proud smile and patted her back, " Of course, our Xu Nuan is such a talented girl. How can they not give her admission?"
Xu Nuan glanced at Han Zihao, who still looked in a sour mood. She sighed and shook her head, telling him to not mind her words.
