Reborn: The Lion To Hunt The Wolf - Chapter 220

Yue Wan nervously stood before Elder Xiao with her head down.

Out of the blue, he ordered: “Serve me a cup of tea.”

Yue Wan lifted up her head in surprise to look at Elder Xiao: “Huh?”

Is he talking to me?

Elder Xiao leaned back in a relaxed posture and with a profound smile on his lips.

She stared at him with bulging eyes. Disbelief was plainly written on her faces and she looked exactly like Little Bao.

Pointing a finger at herself, she asked: “Me?”

‘Cough!Cough!’ Elder Xiao cleared his throat loudly and replied: “Who else? Did you forget the manners after following that brat for so long? No matter what, I’m your Elder, so you need to follow certain rules in the Xiao family.”

Yue Wan almost choked on her own saliva hearing that. She quickly picked up a pot of tea and served the cup for Elder Xiao: “Master Xiao….”

“Wrong,” Elder Xiao said with mirth. He looked at Yue Wan with fondness and kindness. “Call me Grandpa. As you will serve this as my granddaughter-in-law.”

‘Boom!’

The single sentence was like a bomb that shook Yue Wan’s world!

This was the complete opposite of how she predicted. Happiness was actually blooming in her heart.

“Grandpa, please enjoy the tea.” Yue Wan was full of smiles as she served him. In her past, she never got this privilege and most of the time, Su Yunying served the tea and humiliated her before every member of the Xiao family.

Elder Xiao drank the tea that Yue Wan poured for him. Not only was his throat comfortable, but his heart was also blessed with warmth. Even though Yue Wan was still very young, that brat of his had set his sights on marrying her. Elder Xiao had found nothing wrong with that as he felt that Yue Wan was perfect in every way. Moreover, if he and Little Wan had a daughter in the future, he could spoil her to his heart’s content. Regarding the Su family, he had to find a solution.

Elder Xiao made Yue Wan sit in the chair next to his and fondly took her hand: “Tell me the truth. Did that brat force you? Don’t worry, grandpa will beat him with this stick until it breaks.”

Yue Wan blushed even more but the smile that bloomed on her face couldn’t be suppressed. “No, Grandpa.”

Looking at her innocent appearance, Elder Xiao signed: ‘He definitely tricked her.’

“If that brat of mine ever bullies you, just tell this grandpa. I will teach him a lesson that he will never forget.” From that moment, Elder Xiao accepted Yue Wan; she became the little ancestor of the Xiao household. For the sake of the cute great-grandkids, he didn’t mind beating that brat, Xiao Hua to a pulp!

Yue Wan had never received this kind of treatment in her past. She regretted how unfilial she had been in her previous life.

Because of her repeated shameful act, Elder Xiao suffered a heart attack twice. After his death, they found a diary filled with his longing dėsɨrė which was never achieved.

“I will grandpa.” Yue Wan made a decision to make Grandpa Xiao enjoy longevity and live the days with happiness.

“What is your plan regarding the marriage? As you are still young, you need to consider your studies as well…..you’re….still…” While others might not understand Xiao Hua, Elder Xiao understood his grandson well. Who could not wait to take her in his arms! But still, they shouldn’t force her to abandon her dream.

Yue Wan suddenly recalled the time when Xiao Hua knelt down before her and proposed his love. She knew that Xiao Hua was very powerful. If he wanted to break her wings and keep her under him, there was nothing she could do to resist, but he didn’t do that.

After experiencing his love, she knew clearly what she dėsɨrėd. Without a word, her answer was expressed in her smile.

Understood her response, Elder Xiao’s expression changed from suspicion to shock: “Good! Good! Good!”

He was overjoyed and said the word ‘good’ consecutively three times with complex emotions. He touched her hair with his trembling hands, unable to control his intense feelings.

“These few years it has been hard on Hua.” Elder Xiao’s hand shook violently.

“Grandpa!” Yue Wan’s voice was hoarse.

“Just promise me that…..you will take care of him…I…I…. abandoned him at a crucial moment…”  He failed to provide a family warmth to both of his grandkids, and especially Xiao Hua, he regretted what had happened to him the most. His son’s last request was not to force Xiao Hua or Xiao Ran into doing anything for his sake.

“I promise.” Yue Wan smiled with wet eyes.

“You go back or else those three will break down this door. As for that thing regarding the Jings, do it very carefully.” Elder Xiao waited for Yue Wan to nod her head before sending her off.

Yue Wan quickly left the room when she was dismissed and soon Advisor Yu came in: “Master?”

The trio crowded around Yue Wan and asked her questions nonstop with no room for her to answer. Even Little Bao was meowing constantly.

Yue Wan signed and held her forehead: ‘This will take a while.’

Xiao Ran bombed: “Hey, what did my grandfather say to you? What happened inside his study? Is he mad at you? Logically speaking, he’d be frustrated about those shameless Jings, did he take it on you?”

“No! No! Grandpa was so sweet. He was concerned about my involvement with that incident. Also, he needs to settle some things and ask some questions concerning it.” Yue Wan explained.

Xiao Ran was stupefied hearing her calling Elder Xiao as ‘Grandpa.’ Her chibi form jumped around: ‘A green signal! Yippee! I can do more cosplay!’

“What is this thing that he wants to settle with you, Little Wan?” Yue Xiang asked but the moment the question left his mouth, an answer came to his face immediately. ‘She called him Grandpa! Oh, God!’

At that time, Advisor Yu walked towards them with two cute baskets and said: “These are the sweets specially prepared by the Master. He found out that the Little Miss is fond of chocolate, so he brought some various favors from all over the world. In the second basket, it has various accessories that were made in Zircon brought by Princess.”

Hearing the word chocolate, Little Bao jumped on that basket and grasped it tightly in fear of his meanie Uncle stealing it from him.

Yue Wan’s face turned red as soon as she saw his action while everyone else laughed out loud, including the staff. Even Yue Xiang’s lips curved up with a smirk.

From the study, Elder Xiao beamed in laughter until his throat turned dry. ‘Such a cute lad!’

On being laughed at, Little Bao’s face turned red in embarrassment: ‘No! No! I’m protecting this for mommy.’

Seeing her son’s silly act, Yue Wan took him in her embrace and pinched his nose: “No more sweets for you. Look at your stomach, it is bloated like a big pot.”

That made everyone laugh even more.

Little Bao hid his face in Yue Wan’s ċhėst and made some meow in protest.

Following that, Mr. Hong came in with flowers and said: “This from us, we hope you will accept it.”

“Thank you!” Yue Wan accepted with a sweet smile.

Yue Yeager felt odd somehow. He felt that the Xiao household was claiming ownership over his cute daughter. He was angry that someone was buŧŧering up the apple of his eye.

As it was getting late, the Yue family bid their goodbyes and left the villa.
