Chapter 175: 0175 Shouldn’t Have Come Back Chapter 175: 0175 Shouldn’t Have Come Back Su Ran’s words instantly turned Tan Lirong’s face a shade between pale and flushed, and she cast a somewhat resentful glance at Su Hongde.
“You… you scoundrel.”
Su Hongde was very dissatisfied with Su Ran’s attitude, and thinking about the tone she had used with him on the phone caused anger to rise within him.
“Alright, alright, children don’t understand these things.”
Deng Jingru quickly came forward to smooth things over.
Although she also looked down upon Tan Lirong’s background, the fact was that they would ultimately become in-laws, so it was still necessary to maintain face for each other in normal times.
Not having seen her for several years, she never would have imagined that the once obedient and sensible little girl would turn into the unruly figure she saw now.
Su Ran coldly swept a glance at him and started walking towards the upstairs.
Grandfather’s room was on the third floor.
Upon reaching the stairs, there happened to be a maid cleaning outside the door, who involuntarily paused at the sight of Su Ran.
“Is Grandfather resting?”
The maid hesitated for a long time before regaining her composure.
“The old master has just gone to sleep.”
Su Ran stopped in her tracks, looking at the door in front of her, but ultimately she did not open it.
I’ll come to see Grandfather another day!
“Miss, the old master talks about you every day, you…”
Seeing Su Ran about to leave, the maid hurriedly spoke up.
“Xiao Ran, is it Xiao Ran who has come back?”
A frail and hoarse voice came from the room, sounding somewhat urgent.
Su Ran opened the door and walked in.
In the room, an old man with white hair was leaning back in a lounge chair.
Su Ran softly called out to him.
Su Zhongyuan looked at Su Ran, his old eyes brightening with a smile.
“Xiao Ran has come back!”
She had heard this sentence many times since she entered the door, but she knew that only this old man before her eyes truly looked forward to her return.
“How have you been, Grandfather?”
Su Zhongyuan smiled and seemed to be in good spirits.
“Good, how has Xiao Ran been recently?”
Su Ran nodded her head.
The old master sighed softly, his hand tenderly gripping hers.
“Child, you shouldn’t have come back today.”
Su Ran gently patted his hand and said softly,
“Don’t worry, Grandfather, nothing will happen.”
Su Zhongyuan spoke with some urgency, tightening his grip on Su Ran’s hand.
“Uncle Gu and Aunt Gu are here today, don’t you understand their intentions? Xiao Ran, listen to Grandfather, give up on Gu Heng!”
Su Ran’s eyes revealed deep helplessness, why did everyone think she couldn’t let go of Gu Heng?
Wasn’t she clear enough already?
“Alright, if Grandfather wants me to give up, I will give up.”
Upon hearing this, Su Zhongyuan’s old eyes brightened.
“You’re not just appeasing Grandfather?”
Su Ran gave a light laugh, “Of course not.”
Su Zhongyuan looked at Su Ran’s excessively beautiful face, his aged eyes showing a trace of guilt and helplessness.
In the end, the old master didn’t rest, as Su Ran helped him, and the two of them went downstairs together.
As they reached the stairwell, they heard bursts of light laughter coming from the living room.
“Xinyan is so considerate, truly a daughter-in-law valued by our Gu Family.”
“Aunt Gu, please don’t make fun of me.”
Su Xinyan’s cheeks flushed, and she spoke somewhat shyly.
“Still calling me aunt? In a little while, you’ll have to change how you address me!”
Deng Jingru laughed while speaking, clearly very pleased with Su Xinyan.
“Look at her, her heart has long since flown to our Gu Family. Look, where are her dad and I in her eyes? Only Uncle Gu and Aunt Gu now.”
“Mom, what are you talking about!!”
Su Xinyan clung to Gu Heng’s arm, shyly hiding behind him.
