Chapter 324: Chapter 226 Arrangements (Part 1)_5

Seeing the Chuxia family come in, everyone welcomed them warmly.

Both parties exchanged pleasantries with great enthusiasm.

Then, the witnesses invited by the Zhou and Jing families began to arrive one after another.

When the clock struck half-past ten, the last witness, Old Master Wan, arrived.

Seeing him, Old Master Zhou eagerly went up to him, "Brother Wan, I really can’t thank you enough!"

"What’s there to thank me for?" Old Master Wan chuckled and looked at the stunned Zhao Yulan and Lin Baohe, "Xiao Lin, Xiao Zhao, we meet again. What’s the matter, don’t you recognize me?"

"No, no, no..." Zhao Yulan quickly said, "I never expected to meet you here. Just the other day, I was telling Baohe that when we see you, we must thank you."

"Thank me?" Old Master Wan raised his eyebrows, "For what?"

"Thank you for the guidance you gave to Chuxia. We had no idea that you had taught her so much..."

Chuxia stood there sheepishly, crying out in her heart, "Oh heavens, oh earth, why such a coincidence? Why did it have to be here that I met Old Master Wan? Didn’t he say he went to Capital City?"

Indeed, the elder in question was the very one for whom Chuxia had taken on a mountain of debt in his name—for things like musical instruments and various types of knowledge. In short, anything she could not explain where she had learned from was conveniently attributed to Old Master Wan.

In truth, she only had a vague understanding of Old Master Wan.

But from the very first time she saw him, she knew he was no ordinary person. It’s just that they had only been acquainted for less than two months before the elder had his name cleared and left.

When he left, he did indeed give her some of his unwanted items.

And her connection to the elder was merely those two months.

From Luo Xiaoqiong’s written words, she was sure that before she took over, the original owner had a merely casual acquaintance with Old Master Wan. And she herself was attracted by the vast collection of books he owned.

It’s not easy for the lonely elder to find someone with shared interests, so he spent a good chunk of time talking with her. Because of that, she found out just how much he knew. Thus, she put all her knowledge claims comfortably on his shoulders.

Old Master Wan was clueless of the many achievements placed upon him, assuming the Zhao couple was referring to how Chuxia went to his place to read books. He laughed heartily, "You can’t say it like that. During that time, Xiao Chuxia also brought me a lot of joy." He motioned to Chuxia, "Xiao Chuxia, don’t you recognize Grandpa anymore?"

"Grandpa Wan..." Like suddenly waking from a dream, Chuxia rushed into Old Master Wan’s arms, "I never imagined I’d run into you here. I was so overwhelmed with excitement. Grandpa, when you left, I couldn’t even treat you to a nice meal. Now, I can afford to. We must go out and eat something delicious later. We had a deal, and you can’t back out!"

"Alright, alright, I’m looking forward to Xiao Chuxia treating me to something tasty," Old Master Wan chuckled and looked toward Elder Jing, "Old man, you’ve got it good. Had I known Chuxia was the Xiaochuxia I knew, she would never have wound up with you!

She’s a good kid, and you’ve really struck it rich. This won’t do, I can’t let you profit all by yourself. Let’s become her grandfathers together." He then turned to Lin Baohe and Zhao Yulan, "I also want to recognize this girl as my granddaughter, no objections, right?"

"No objections, none at all," the couple hurriedly responded. It was a joke. Who among those present wasn’t a big shot? Anyway, they were ready to accept all the good fortune that came their way.

"This old man, always trying to compete with me for everything!" Elder Jing huffed, looking at Old Master Zhou, "Old Zhou, isn’t it good for one more person to dote on Xiao Chuxia? Shall we recognize her together?"

"That’s wonderful!" Old Master Zhou’s eyes shone with delight. He had never anticipated that the elder would know his daughter-in-law. This was just too good to be true.

He had experienced far too much, and this time, the Zhou family’s low point would not last long. Everyone could wait, except for Chuxia, she simply couldn’t.

Now, with such a prestigious figure watching over her, Xiao Yuwen would probably not dare to cause trouble for Chuxia.

In his opinion, it was not much of a problem for a man to get hurt, but a young girl must never encounter any trouble.

Zhu Xinqin also recovered from her shock and walked up to embrace Chuxia, her eyes brimming with tears of joy: "Xiao Chuxia, you truly have great fortune. As your godmother, I’ve always known."

My goodness, this time your mother-in-law has really hit the jackpot, but she’s still not satisfied. I’ve always said that marrying Xiao Zhe was the best for you. Had you married into our family, how would you have gotten involved with a nutcase like Xiao Yuwen?"

"Zhu Xinqin!" Lin Yanqiu shouted angrily, "Don’t talk ill of me in front of my daughter-in-law."

"Did I speak ill of you? I’m just telling the truth!" Zhu Xinqin pouted, "Can you deny that this mess happened because of your family dragging Xiao Chuxia into it?"

"I... I’m not going to argue nonsense with you!"

"You simply have no argument!" Zhu Xinqin said proudly, puffing out her chest and bringing Chuxia before Zhao Yulan, "Sister-in-law, I’m now Chuxia’s godmother, and I will cherish her as if she were my own daughter..."

"Hey!" Lin Yanqiu cut her off, "Chuxia recognized Uncle Jing as her god-grandfather, what does that have to do with you?" (To be continued.
