Hidden Marriage: Spoiled by the Imperial Commander
Chapter 215: Her First Love

Chapter 215: Chapter 215: Her First Love

Yan Qianyi looked at Old Lady Yan with confusion.

She saw her looking shocked, tears glistening in her eyes as she locked eyes with Nangong Jie.

Nangong Xiaoxue’s brows furrowed, "Wan Su! How could it be you?"

Wan Su was Old Lady Yan’s name.

Yan Qianyi distinctly felt Old Lady Yan’s body tremble.

Confusion swirled in his mind; did they know each other?!

Old Lady Yan turned and walked away.

Yan Qianyi, dumbstruck, exchanged a glance with Mu Yunlie.

Mu Yunlie also appeared a bit bewildered.

"Sorry," Yan Qianyi apologized, then turned to chase after Old Lady Yan.

Old Lady Yan ran into the public restroom and locked herself in a stall.

Yan Qianyi knocked on the door, "Grandma, what’s wrong?"

"Girl... do you know who that handsome old man is?" Old Lady Yan’s voice shook.

"He’s Ah Lie’s grandfather."

Old Lady Yan exclaimed excitedly, "He is Nangong Jie! Nangong Jie!"

"Nangong Jie?!" Yan Qianyi puzzled, suddenly shocked, she widened her eyes, "The former Commander... Nangong Jie?!"

"Yes, it’s him!"

Yan Qianyi was utterly astonished.

No wonder she felt that the handsome old man looked familiar, like she had seen him somewhere before.

At the time, she didn’t think much of it, assuming it was because he and his grandson resembled each other, which made him look familiar.

It turned out he was the former Commander!

On the school’s Wall of Greats, there were photos of former Commanders, including Nangong Jie!

She never imagined that Mu Yunlie’s grandfather would be Nangong Jie!!

No wonder the Mu Family was willing to offer so much gift money, no wonder Vice Officer Pei and Mu Yunlie became such good buddies!

It turned out Mu Yunlie’s family background was not so simple!

"But Grandma, why are you so excited?" Yan Qianyi asked, "Do you know him?"

Old Lady Yan, choking up, "He... he was my first love."

"..." Yan Qianyi.

Well, that was quite awkward.

She could hardly believe it, "Grandma, are you serious?"

With the old lady’s personality, boasting about having dated a former Commander would definitely be expected.

But she had never heard the old lady mention it before.

No one in the Yan Family knew about this.

If Yan Hong knew that his grandma had such a history with Nangong Jie, he would probably rush to forge connections.

"Really," Old Lady Yan cried, "I knew it, why Ah Lie looks so much like him, you all laughed at me before for saying every handsome young man reminded me of my first love, now you believe me, Ah Lie really does resemble him!"

Yan Qianyi slowly let out a breath.

It was a lot of information to process.

After a moment, Old Lady Yan opened the stall door, her eyes rimmed red, frantic, "Qianyi, I... I want to go home, please take me back."

Yan Qianyi steadied her hand, having no choice but to lead her away first.

As they exited the hotel’s main door, Yan Hong and the others were still waiting at the entrance.

Seeing them come out, Yan Hong approached to ask questions, but Yan Qianyi ignored him and directly took Old Lady Yan to the car, then sent a message to Mu Yunlie.

"I’m sorry, tonight’s meeting was a disaster. My grandma is feeling a bit unwell, so I took her home first."

Mu Yunlie glanced at Yan Qianyi’s message and then looked up at Nangong Jie, "Besides having a romance with Grandma Yan, what other grudges did you have back then?"

Learning that his grandfather had a romance with Grandma Yan, he was also very surprised.

Nangong Jie frowned and remained silent.

Mu Yunlie then turned his questioning gaze to Nangong Xiaoxue.

Nangong Xiaoxue turned her face away, her expression also looking unpleasant, "Why are you looking at me! It’s not my romantic debt! Let this old fool tell you!"

Nangong Jie furrowed his eyebrows tightly, "What romantic debt? Don’t speak so unpleasantly! I didn’t owe her anything back then; it was her own problem!"

"What exactly happened!" Mu Yunlie’s voice deepened.

Nangong Jie coldly said, "I was against you being with Yan Qianyi from the beginning! Since her grandmother is Wan Su, you two definitely cannot be together!"

Mu Yunlie narrowed his eyes displeasedly and asked Nangong Xiaoxue, "Does grandmother oppose it now too?"

Nangong Xiaoxue sighed, her response ambivalent, "That Wan Su, I don’t know what good deeds she did in her past life to end up with such a precious granddaughter as Yan Qianyi, sigh..."

Mu Yunlie suddenly stood up, "I don’t care what you think, or what grudges you had in the past, I’ve decided to be with Yan Qianyi, and no one can interfere!"

Having said that, Mu Yunlie strode out.

Nangong Jie turned to Nangong Xiaoxue reproachfully, "Before you introduced a girlfriend to Ah Lie, didn’t you think to check her family background first? Are you satisfied now that it has turned out like this?"

Nangong Xiaoxue pouted, "Even if I hadn’t matched them, they would’ve already been married."

"Wan Su, that kind of woman, what good daughter could she teach!"

"That’s not entirely true, Qianyi is Qianyi, Wan Su is Wan Su, however Wan Su is as a person, it has nothing to do with Qianyi!"

"Isn’t there a saying, ’those who don’t share family values, don’t enter the family gate’? Don’t you understand that?"

"Have you had enough, Nangong Jie!" In a fit of anger, Nangong Xiaoxue slammed the table, "It was you who gave Wan Su hope back then! Those petty issues from the past, I’ve already let go of, yet here you are still getting up in my face!"

Having said her piece, Nangong Xiaoxue also stormed off angrily.

Yan Qianyi took Old Lady Yan back to the Yan Family.

After drinking some water, Old Lady Yan gradually calmed down.

She put down the cup, took Yan Qianyi’s hand, her eyes filling with tears and a face of guilt, "Girl, Grandma is sorry... It’s Grandma who has dragged you down."

"Why do you say that?" Yan Qianyi was genuinely puzzled.

Old Lady Yan said with remorse, "Back then when I was young and foolish, I wanted to be with Nangong Jie so much that I made some mistakes, causing him to hold deep resentment against me. So, for these many years, even though I thought of him, I dared not meet him, and I dared not mention that past.

I thought... that I would never see him again in my life. Who could have imagined that he is Ah Lie’s grandfather.

With their resentment toward me, I’m afraid they won’t agree to you being with Ah Lie.

I’m sorry, it’s Grandma who has harmed you and delayed your happiness..."

As she spoke, Old Lady Yan began to cry.

Yan Qianyi hurriedly gently comforted her shoulder, "It’s okay, I can separate from him, and when it comes to our marriage anniversary next year, we can divorce."

That had been the plan anyway.

But now saying it out loud, her heart felt oddly uneasy.

At this moment, Mu Yunlie sent a message.

"I’m waiting for you at your home."

Yan Qianyi glanced at it and didn’t respond.

Old Lady Yan sighed deeply, "Ah Lie is a good boy, I still hope that you two could be together."

"Grandma, you should rest now, don’t think too much."

After calming Old Lady Yan down, Yan Qianyi went downstairs, just in time to see Yan Hong and the others returning from outside.
