Chapter 760: Chapter 754: Going to Pick Up Chu Molin
“That’s okay, but Grandma Xiao, who is this Shulan you’re talking about?” Qin Xue asked pretending not to know.
“She’s a poor soul, no need to talk about her. What were you guys talking about?” Grandma Xiao asked as she walked in on a fiery conversation.
“We were talking about…” An Hao recounted the matter of inviting Chu Molin to their house to her grandmother.
“That’s easy, I’ll have your Uncle Xiao pick him up from school.” said Grandma Xiao.
“Great minds think alike.” Li Zhao grinned, seeing that Grandma Xiao had the same thought.
Watching them, Qin Xue was tempted to chide, “Isn’t this against the rules? Is this really okay?” But seeing that they meant well, she refrained from commenting.
Members of the Li family returned home one by one and were introduced to Qin Xue, who was met with warmth and enthusiasm.
“The wife of the Chu family’s youngest member is really beautiful.” As a woman herself, Chen Lei was quite impressed by Qin Xue’s beauty.
“You’re also very beautiful.” Li Guoqiang whispered to his wife after hearing her comment.
“Such a sweet talker.” Chen Lei blushed. Her husband rarely flirted with her, and it was his infrequency that made it precious.
The Lis all agreed to invite Chu Molin over. They hadn’t seen him in a while and it would be nice to have him there since Qin Xue was visiting, too.
While someone went to fetch Chu Molin, Miao Qingqing returned to the Chu family carrying a baby. As soon as she entered the house, she shouted.
“Old man, come and see my great-grandson.” Miao Qingqing had come home with the intent of taunting him. If he can’t accept her daughter-in-law, she implied, he will not be allowed to know his great-grandchild. Miao Qingqing was petty in this regard. If he didn’t accept the people she did, she was always ready to leave him speechless.
“Qingqing, what did you say? A great-grandson?” Chu Zhan bolted from the study, propelled by his wife’s words.
Your great-grandson.” Miao Qingqing smugly showed off the baby to her husband.
“Is this Linlin’s child? Let me see.” Chu Zhan reached out to hold the baby but Miao Qingqing skilfully moved away.
“Qingqing, what are you doing?” Chu Zhan asked his dodging wife.
“Nothing, this is my great-grandson, and I don’t want you to hold him.” Miao Qingqing replied exasperatingly.
“You old woman, he’s my great-grandson, too!” Chu Zhan fumed. Linlin’s child was also his great-grandchild. Why shouldn’t he be allowed to hold him?
“This is my daughter-in-law’s child, not your daughter-in-law’s. How is he your great-grandson? I brought him here to tell you if dare to break up Linlin and my daughter-in-law, I will not spare you. Now, I’m taking the baby to show my friends.” Miao Qingqing tried to leave, but she was stopped.
“Qingqing, let me hold the baby, can’t I apologize?” Chu Zhan pleaded, eyeing his wife who cradled the child.
“Really sorry?” Miao Qingqing seemed unconvinced.
“Really. Like you said, they now have a child. Why would I do something that would make him hate me, right?” Chu Zhan looked at his wife, then fixed his gaze on the baby in her arms.
Miao Qingqing looked suspiciously at her husband. She eventually nodded, deciding to trust him tentatively: “Qiao, come in.”
Miao Qingqing called out to the entrance. After a little while, Chu Xiaoqiao came in holding a baby.
“This, what’s this…” Chu Zhan asked, seeing his granddaughter walk in with a baby.
“Grandpa, this is big brother’s younger son, would you like to hold him?” Chu Xiaoqiao asked her grandfather. However, her question nearly sent Chu Zhan into a frenzy, realizing his wife’s deliberate ploy to make him declare his stance publicly.
