“Grandpa Xiang.”
Gu Man was still very willing to talk to amiable old people. Moreover, she had not forgotten her current identity, so she had a faint smile on her face.
It did not make people feel that it was too deliberate, nor did it make people feel distant. The perfect attitude made Old Xiang very satisfied.
However, when Elder Xiang turned to look at Xiang Yin, his face clearly revealed impatience and dissatisfaction. Gu Man looked at his expression and did not doubt that Xiang Yin would hit Xiang Yin with her walking stick in the next second.
However, facing Elder Xiang’s murderous gaze, Xiang Yin’s expression did not change. Instead, he kept looking straight at Gu Man.
The scene of their gazes meeting was seen by Old Xiang. He nodded in satisfaction, but he was unsatisfied when he looked at his grandson, he said sternly.
“Come with me.”
Even though Xiang Yin heard this, his gaze did not shift. Instead, he gently rubbed Gu Man’s head.
“I’ll be right back.”
Xiang Yin put his hands in his pockets and followed Elder Xiang to the other side.
Although they deliberately lowered their voices, Gu Man could still hear their conversation clearly.
“Young brat, why did you only bring such a good-looking girlfriend back now?” “Isn’t it the same whether I bring her back earlier or later?”
“How is it the same? You only brought her back when I was half-dead, right? If not for that news, how long would you have hidden it from me?”
Unexpectedly, when Xiang Yin heard this, he lowered his head and thought for a while before giving an answer.
“Maybe more than a year without that news.”
These words angered Elder Xiang so much that he hit the ground with his walking stick. If not for the fact that there were outsiders around, Xiang Yin would have been beaten up.
“Let me ask you, why is that girl only in her third year of high school?”
When he heard this, Xiang Yin did not immediately respond. Instead, he was silent for a long time.
Gu Man moved her feet slightly so that she could get closer. For a moment, she was a little curious about how Xiang Yin would answer Elder Xiang.
However, after a long silence, there was still no answer. Only Elder Xiang’s sigh could be heard.
“Although I’m very satisfied with this girl, I’m afraid her parents won’t be satisfied with you. After all, you’re not young anymore. You’re considered an old man. You’re not worthy of her.”
Gu Man did not expect Elder Xiang to be so direct and almost could not hold back her laughter.
She turned to look at Xiang Yin, planning to see his expression. Unexpectedly, as soon as she turned around, she met Xiang Yin’s gaze.
The moment their eyes met, Gu Man could clearly feel her heart stop for a moment. She pretended to look away as if nothing had happened and happened to miss the smile on Xiang Yin’s lips.
“You’re still laughing. I’m telling the truth, aren’t I? How are you going to explain it to her?”
“Grandpa, it doesn’t seem right for you to leave her alone over there.”
When Elder Xiang heard this, he realized that he had been talking for too long. He looked up in dissatisfaction and glared at Xiang Yin. In the end, he still walked back the way he came.
Compared to his impatience when facing Xiang Yin, when facing Gu Man, Elder Xiang was completely a kind and harmonious old man.
He did not even dare to raise his voice, afraid that he would scare Gu Man.
He looked at Gu Man with a smile. As his grandfather, he could only work harder if his grandson was not angry. The reason why he called all his aunts over was to let Gu Man know that their Xiang family was definitely not a family without principals. This was also to show their attitude.
He waved at the people behind him. The people who had been standing behind and sizing Gu Man up curiously immediately leaned forward.
“Manman, right? You’re a really good-looking young girl. She’s better-looking than anyone I’ve ever seen.”
“I think so too. She looks great in a qipao.”
One praise after another, what was supposed to be a meeting with parents turned into a compliment meet. Even Gu Man, who had always been indifferent to the outside world, blushed.
Xiang Yin sensed her slightly red cheeks and reached out to hold her hand. He squeezed her fingertips comfortingly..
