Reborn: The Lion To Hunt The Wolf - Chapter 213
—–In Yue Villa—
The next day, Yue Wan woke up later than usual. Despite playing with little Bao for the whole day, she still had trouble sleeping.
While she was sleeping, she had a very strange dream. She dreamt of being swallowed by a big snake and it felt very real. Only when she woke up did she realize that she was soaked through with sweat.
Thinking of something before sleeping could lead to a dream and her thoughts were about the report she received from Chen hospital.
Knocking off her wandering thoughts, she went to take a hot bath, but not before dragging the lazy bump Little Bao along, trying not to disturb his sleep.
Feeling his mommy’s presence, the little guy didn’t wake up until he felt the warm water on his body.
One drop touched his black fur and that was it; he struggled a lot to get out from the tub but Yue Wan didn’t budge, she was going to bathe him no matter how much he cried or growled.
After the bath, she dried both her and Little Bao with a hairdryer.
Just as they finished off, Little Bao’s eyes went back to slumber.
Sitting in front of her vanity, she brushed her golden hair out of the way and opened her daily makeup case. The delicate purple earrings caught her sight, smiling to herself, she put it on her right ear.
The earring matches perfectly with her Staple Purple color Midi Dress.
After checking out her in the mirror, she took Little Bao into his soft cushioned basket and went downstairs.
Yue Xiang and Yue Yeager were both wearing formal attire with matching cufflinks in a golden color.
Looking at Yue Wan in the cute dress, Yue Yeager had a sudden change of heart: ‘Does she has to be married?!’
Yue Xiang’s sharp eyes fall on the purple earring on her ear: ‘My cute sister is totally corrupted by that double face jerk!’
He could feel Xiao Hua smiling with a goofy face and have his nose up in the air: ‘That’s my property.’
Once everyone was ready, they left for the Xiao villa.
—-In the Xiao House—
The moment their car arrived, a slightly old silhouette walked out from inside. It was the Xiao family’s workers, Advisor Yu and Mr.Hong.
They came out with a smile and welcomed the Yue Family inside: “Welcome to the Xiao Family Villa, Master Yue, Young Master Yue, and Little princ….I mean Young Miss Yue.”
Advisor Yu was so close in calling Yue Wan as Little princess. After that call, Advisor Yu and Mr. Hong were already in the process of decorating the room for their future little ancestor.
“Young Miss! Let’s go in, don’t stand outside too much, the wind is very cold.” Mr.Hong came forward with a delightful smile and concern for Yue Wan.
Yue Xiang and Yue Yeager could see that they were treating their little ancestor Yue Wan as the Xiao treasure. In despair, they entangled her elbows on both sides as Mr. Hong led them inside.
Advisor Yu grasped Little Bao’s sleeping basket from Yue Wan before following them inside.
Upon entering the living room, a figure rushed over and took Yue Wan from the father and son’s grasp.
“Welcome, Little Wan!” An energetic voice echoed.
Hugging her tightly, Xiao Ran said with a smile, “Don’t worry, I will be here to accompany you. You won’t feel lonely, Little Wan.”
These words just didn’t feel right to Yue Xiang and Yue Yeager.
Yue Wan caught a hidden message in her words: ‘I’ll be here to accompany you on behalf of Hua.’
Her cheek blushed in embarrassment which could not be hidden from the other hawk-like eyes.
Xiao Ran in the same position, looked left and right, “Welcome, Master Yue… Xiang.”
After that, she took Yue Wan inside to meet with the Elder Xiao who was walking down the stairs slowly.
Yue Xiang’s brow arch raised in an obvious expression; he could see right through this act. ‘That Shameful jerk…..he tricked them somehow.’
Looking at his father’s perplexed expression, he lit a candle for Xiao Hua in his heart.
Elder Xiao saw them coming, he tried to control his emotions, however, looking at Yue Wan… The image of his cute granddaughter appeared in his eyes and made him rhapsodize in happiness.
Damn it! I’m falling for his trick.
Sensing the warm welcome, Yue Wan knew from her past that Elder Xiao always preferred Su Yunying as his granddaughter in law and was very prejudiced over her attitude. Well, who would not? If their granddaughter-in-law smoked, was an alcoholic, caused trouble, did drugs…She disappointed everyone, smeared her father’s reputation, became an unremovable black stain on the Xiao and the Yue generation.
After her rebirth, she never once cared about what Elder Xiao or anyone from the Xiao family thought about her attitude….. but now, she wanted to change it for both revenge and love. The path would be very long, but she would never give up on Xiao Hua until the end. ‘This is for you my son.’
Yue Wan smiled brightly and had an expression of gentle obedience: “Elder Xiao, may your happiness be as immense as the Sea, and may you live as long as the Mountains.”
Hearing that, Elder Xiao’s eyes widened in bewilderment. He could differentiate a person’s true nature by their voice, whether it was from the heart or not.
As for Yue Wan, her voice carried some grace and respect which was from her heart. There was a vast change in her attitude from their past interactions. ‘Did my grandson tamed this mighty Lion??’
Somehow Elder Xiao felt a little proud thinking that. Just a little! A tiny bit! “Welcome.”
Following that Yue Yeager moved forward and gave his respect before patting his daughter in appreciation: “Elder Xiao, thank you for inviting my family into your home. We’re honored to be here.”
Elder Xiao’s brows softened and his lips curved into a smile: “It’s my pŀėȧsurė. Your daughter saved my Ran’s life and the Xiao family’s reputation. Though she was quite a little sharp-tongued sometimes.”
“She is a mischievous child and quite straight forward, just like my dad. Please do not take it to heart!” Yue Yeager laughed and looked at his daughter full of tenderness and love.
Yue Wan acted calmly, though she had a sense of guilt in her. “Forgive me, Elder Xiao. I shouldn’t have acted like that during my last visit.”
Looking at Yue Wan’s guilty face, Elder Xiao said with a smile, “That’s already a matter of the past, also you are not the one who was at fault. I judged you based on other’s words and didn’t give you a chance to explain yourself. Who hasn’t made any mistakes when they were young? When Ran was about the age of yours, she frequently use her fist to explain due to her overbearing attitude.”
“Grandpa!!!” Xiao Ran was flustered. She shrieked while shaking her head.
Yue Yeager joined in: “Xiang was even more rebellious at that time. I remember going to WAX every month as he always seemed to have punched someone or another. When did I ask him why he hit others? He would plainly say that he hated the other person’s face.”
Both Elders started to bring out the shameful past of Xiao Ran and Yue Xiang.
With their deep past being revealed, Xiao Ran and Yue Xiang’s face had turned completely black at this point: ‘This ultra humiliation for them.’
