My Evil Genius Wife - Chapter 410
Chapter 410: Outsider is an Outsider.
Han Mansion-
Everyone gathered in the living room as Cheng Zixing prepared tea and some snacks for everyone. They would have moved to the dining room since it’s already getting late for dinner.
However, Han Liang’s parents have not arrived yet and are still on their way to the Han Mansion. Therefore, Grandmother Han suggested having some tea and snacks while waiting for them, this way she can get some time to talk to Luo Dan and know more about her.
On the couch in the center, Grandmother Han was sitting with Luo Dan and Xu Nuan, both sitting on each side of her. She always wanted to have daughters but unfortunately, she got two sons who are of no good either. Both of her sons, also had sons and no one birthed a daughter, left her with only sons house.
However, in the skin of Luo Dan and Xu Nuan, she has got two daughters, who have similar kind of energy as her and can go shopping and spa with her. Finally!!
” Aiyo, How can this stupid brat get a beautiful girl like you? He must have saved a country in his past life!!” Grandmother Han stared at Luo Dan and was impressed by her beautiful and well-mannered nature.
” Right, Grandma? This monkey doesn’t even deserve a girl, forget about a beautiful girl like Luo Dan. She is too good for him.” Xu Nuan chimed in, causing Grandmother Han to burst into laughter who also added, ” Right, Right. I don’t understand how girls go crazy over him. His nose is too long, just like a pinocchio.”
…..
Han Liang’s face turned red the way both of them were pulling his leg and making fun of him in front of Luo Dan. He gritted his teeth and whined in annoyance, ” Grandma!! How can you say something like that? I am your Grand-son after all.”
“Also, why are you ganging up on me with this girl? Is this how you treat your blood?” He frowns, feeling upset that he is being treated like this by his own family. The strangers die to have an autograph from him, here they don’t even care about a precious gem like him.
Hmph!! They doesn’t even know his worth and keep making fun of him.
Seeing Han Liang getting all grumpy, Grandmother Han and Xu Nuan couldn’t help but laugh at his reaction. He sure gives some colorful reactions that makes them want to tease him even more.
While Xu Nuan and Han Liang were bickering nonstop, Cheng Zixing who just came back from the kitchen, after instructing the servants to keep the dinner table ready so that they don’t need to wait later for anything and can straight move to the dining room for dinner, joined everyone in the living room.
She sat on the single couch on the side and said, ” Luo Dan, why are you not eating anything? I prepared all of these snacks just for you. Have some.” Cheng Zixing said as she pushed the food tray in front of Xu Nuan to Luo Dan’s side.
Luo Dan glanced at Xu Nuan and smiled politely before taking a cookie from the snacks that were displayed in front of her.
Cheng Zixing made herself comfortable on the couch as she added, “I agree with Han Liang. Mother, how can you join hands with outsiders and make fun of your own grandson? How upset must he be because of this?” She supported him.
” Since you treat him like this, others also think that they can say anything to him. That’s not right.”
After her words, a long silence followed in the room. The joyous laughter and whining of Han Liang suddenly came to a halt and everyone stared at Cheng Zixing with uncomfortable, awkward expressions.
Han Liang, who was also whining a moment ago, pursed his lips and said, ” Aunty, It’s fine. I wasn’t upset about it. Also, we were all joking. I also tease Xu Nuan, so there is no need for anyone to get upset about it.” He laughed as he said this.
Jia Fei, who was also laughing just a moment ago, her expressions became stoney in an instant. Even though everyone liked and adored Xu Nuan as Han Zihao’s girlfriend, she could see the obvious unlikeness that Han Zihao’s mother has for her.
The way she addressed Xu Nuan as an outsider, she was clearly drawing lines against her and was saying that she doesn’t accept her as Han Zihao’s partner.
She exchanged glances with Luo Dan, who also looked equally unhappy about this situation. If Mrs. Han knew about Xu Nuan’s real identity, she wouldn’t have dared to say anything about her.
After all, she is not only used to be the Queen of the music world, but also belongs to the Jiang Family, who is unbeatable when it comes to the business industry and comes to par with the Han family. If she was aware of the real status of Xu Nuan aka Jiang Yue, she couldn’t have dared to make such unnecessary remarks.
Jia Fei gritted her teeth and had the urge to say something when Yuhan placed his hand over hers and squeezed her hand gently to stop her from interfering in their family matters. Even though she is a close friend to Xu Nuan, she shouldn’t make any reckless comment that can make things even more complicated for her.
She took a deep breath to calm her emotions and can only sit back and say nothing.
–
“Han Liang, it’s alright. Your Aunt is with you. I will not let ‘anyone’ look down on you. Also, you’re way better than many people who don’t even know their place.” She said in a sweet voice, causing the atmosphere to become even more heavy than earlier.
Han Liang glanced at Xu Nuan who was strangely quiet. Although he was sitting between everyone else, his eyes were wandering around, looking for Han Zihao who went outside to take a call. ‘Why did he have to go and take a call at a time like this? I am scared!!’ He screamed internally.
Grandmother Han who was silent all this while, finally spoke up, ” Is that so? Cheng Zixing, do you think you’re superior to me in this household?” She asked coldly, causing the temperature to fall in the room to the minus.
Cheng Zixing pursed her lips and shook her head awkwardly, ” Mother, what are you saying? How can I be higher than you? I cannot dare to think like that.”
” But I think you do. Otherwise, why would you say that you won’t let ‘anyone’ look down on Han Liang, when I am the one who does this all the time? Are you saying that you will go against me to support him? Huh?” Her expressions were cold and her deep voice was enough for Cheng Zixing to shut up.
Whenever Xu Nuan and Han Zihao come over for dinner or join a family gathering, she doesn’t leave a chance to ruin the happy moment.
She used to think of her as a well-cultured, nice woman who was supporting his son and has finally accepted her as her eldest daughter-in-law. However, her attitude towards Xu Nuan makes her think of her as otherwise.
Cheng Zixing, herself came from a humble background and yet she looks down on Xu Nuan for spending her childhood in an orphanage and not being favored by the Gu family. She should care for her even more because of this reason, yet she discriminates against her.
If this is how she truly thinks about someone and cares about money and status more than anything else, then she will have to reconsider the image that she had build of her all this time.
Upon hearing Grandmother Han’s words, Cheng Zixing’s expressions turned solemn and she didn’t say another word in front of her. However, she didn’t like the way Grandmother Han always protects this unruly girl and takes her side.
What wrong has she done? She was only taking Han Liang’s side. He is Han Family’s son, how can she let any girl look down on him and that too in front of his girlfriend?
Only if Han Zihao could find a well-mannered girl like Luo Dan, the situation would have been different. She would have pampered her like any other mother-in-law and would have been proud to take her out and introduce her to others without any shame or hesitation.
However, that’s not the case with Xu Nuan. She finally managed to make a position for herself in the high-society and has people who look up to her, if Xu Nuan enters the Han family as her daughter-in-law, things would go downhill immediately.
Her reputation among her friend circle won’t remain the same anymore.
