Chapter 130: Chapter 130: With a Son-in-law, She Forgot About Her Granddaughter
“Son, sorry, but refusal is not an option.” Gu’s mom gave him a smile that didn’t quite reach her eyes, and as if afraid he would run away, she tugged on her husband’s arm, “Old Gu, you better drive Mengmeng and this brat to Grandma Luo’s house right now. I need to discuss some renovation matters with the Luos.”
“Okay.” Gu’s dad responded and then forcibly dragged Gu Zhihan into the car, one on each side along with Luo Mengmeng.
Suddenly, he had the feeling that if he ever refused to marry Luo Mengmeng, his parents would definitely tie him up and deliver him straight to Luo Mengmeng’s bed.
About an hour later, they arrived at the rural home of Grandpa Luo and Grandma Luo.
After dropping them off, Gu’s dad headed back home.
Mengmeng, holding Gu Zhihan’s hand, ran over to knock on the door, her face bursting with excitement, “Grandpa, Grandma, open up! I’ve brought the grandson-in-law you’ve always been talking about!”
Gu Zhihan’s mouth twitched uncontrollably and his eyelids jumped.
Why did it feel like a pre-marriage meeting with the parents?
Just as Gu Zhihan was feeling awkward, the door in front of him was opened. Before he could get a good look at the two elders, they had already rushed up to him at a quick pace.
Then, a pair of eyes that showed no sign of ageing stared unblinkingly at him, scanning him from head to toe as if examining some rare animal.
“Uh…” Gu Zhihan was slightly startled, but he quickly regained his composure and politely nodded to the two elders, “Grandpa Luo, Grandma Luo, hello.”
“Good, good, good, our grandson-in-law is here!”
The two elders were grinning from ear to ear, quickly replied, then turned to whisper to each other in low voices.
“This grandson-in-law sure is handsome!”
“No wonder our Mengmeng talks about him non-stop every time she comes back for the New Year.”
“I can already see my great-grandchildren waving at me.”
Gu Zhihan broke out in a cold sweat as he saw the misunderstanding and hurriedly tried to clarify, “Grandpa Luo, Grandma Luo, Luo Mengmeng and I are just ordinary friends, not what you’re thinking.”
“It’s okay, once you’ve grown up and gotten married, your relationship won’t be ordinary anymore.”
Contrary to his expectations, the two elders completely ignored his words and instead looked at him with shining eyes, clearly indicating they had set their minds on him as their grandson-in-law.
A joke, how could they let such a handsome grandson-in-law go to someone else’s family?
At this point, Gu Zhihan was already covered with metaphorical black lines on his forehead.
No wonder Luo Mengmeng was such a blabbermouth; it turns out this whole family was rather ‘eloquent’.
“Grandson-in-law, don’t just stand outside. Come in with Grandma,” urged Grandma Luo, who couldn’t wait to pull him into the house, asking tenderly, “Are you thirsty, dear? Would you like Grandma to get you some water?”
“Grandson-in-law, are you hungry? Grandpa can cook something for you,” Grandpa Luo chimed in.
Grandma Luo: “Yes, the food Grandpa makes is really delicious.”
Grandpa Luo: “You can tell Grandpa whatever you want to eat, there’s nothing he can’t cook.”
The two elders kept talking while dragging Gu Zhihan into the house, seemingly blind to Luo Mengmeng still outside.
Luo Mengmeng stood there, dumbfounded, watching the scene unfold, completely baffled.
This… She was the real granddaughter, right?
“Um, Grandpa Luo, Grandma Luo, Luo Mengmeng is still outside.” In the end, it was Gu Zhihan who reminded the two elders.
“Oh my, we forgot, we forgot.” The elders finally remembered Mengmeng, hurriedly turned their heads and awkwardly waved her in, “Mengmeng, come in quickly as well.”
