Chapter 295: Chapter 295: She is My Wife (8)

The servant who was leaving twisted and pulled the door of the study closed behind them.

In the room, only the two of them remained.

Grandma Xiao walked over to the long sofa next to Gu Nuan, then motioned with her hand for Gu Nuan to sit.

Gu Nuan felt that this elderly woman moved with sure and nimble steps, hardly what one would expect from an eighty-year-old, remarking to herself how healthy she appeared.

Grandma Xiao’s face was rosy, akin to the color of a longevity peach. Had it not been for the many unforeseen events on what was supposed to be a joyful day, her complexion might have been even more vibrant, like a blooming flower.

Gu Nuan sat down, her hands naturally resting on the knees of her gown.

As Grandma Xiao watched her looking downward, she suddenly thought of something, felt that something was amiss, and therefore reached for the telephone receiver on the side table next to the sofa, saying into the receiver, "Come in, bring a pen, and bring a notebook."

From these words alone, it was clear that the elderly lady had already heard about her from somewhere.

Soon, following Grandma Xiao’s command, the butler entered, shut the study door behind him, and came in holding paper and a pen to act as an intermediary between the old woman and Gu Nuan.

With an interpreter present, Grandma Xiao began, "I’ll make it short, that boy Yebai, indeed, has been spoiled by our family, showing neither respect nor propriety. Marriage is such a crucial matter, how could he not discuss it with his family? Looking at you, you seem like a good child. Do you think what he did was right?"

The butler wrote on the notebook as he showed it to Gu Nuan.

Gu Nuan cooperated and waited for him to finish writing before responding, "Nowadays, young people are not like in the past. They favor flash marriages, weddings without pomp, and simplicity in all things. As for the wedding, it’s not too late to have one when there’s time. What’s more important is the connection between the two people."

Grandma Xiao was visibly taken aback, not expecting such a response. She was neither irrational nor disruptive, and her words were logical and well-organized.

If, as Shuju and the others said, this girl in front of her was merely a seductress, then seductresses nowadays seemed different from those within her established impression.

After hesitating for a moment, Grandma Xiao asked, "What kind of people are in your family?"

"My parents are both ordinary workers," Gu Nuan replied.

"How ordinary?"

"Just ordinary people from a common household. We have a small house of only a few dozen square meters in a fourth-tier town, without even a property title."

After hearing her response, Grandma Xiao was even more shocked, "Do you think you and Yebai can truly get along?"

"I originally thought it was impossible, but in fact, we can."

"Was it you who pursued my grandson?" Grandma Xiao suddenly asked pointedly.

This question could be considered a confrontation.

Gu Nuan calmly replied, "No. We both felt as if we had met each other too late; there was no pursuit by either."

After scrutinizing her face for a moment, Grandma Xiao’s mouth curved into a wide smile, her laughter ringing out, "Your way of speaking, indeed, is quite like Yebai’s."

"He and I are the same; neither of us likes to lie."

Grandma Xiao fell silent for a moment, as if making a significant decision. "Regardless, your family background and that of the Xiao family are too different. Personally, I don’t think you are suitable for Yebai."

"Grandma saying this was well within our expectations," Gu Nuan replied.

Grandma Xiao turned to her again, staring at her, "Despite this, you both still want to be together?"

"We’re already married. As the saying goes, ’where the husband goes, the wife follows.’ Grandma, being from our culture, you must be aware of the traditions in our marriages."
