Chapter 462 A Literal Tale of Romance
Wei Zumao, over seventy years old, slowly approached Wen Ni with a cane. He looked her up and down, unable to hide his smile. "Not bad, really not bad!"
"Grandpa Wei," Wen Ni greeted politely.
"Look at him! Look at how excited he is! What did I tell you before!" The old lady couldn't hold back any longer and sneered, "Wei Zumao, which slut did you have this offspring with?"
"Big sister, look at this girl's appearance. That vixen must be quite beautiful too! Otherwise, she wouldn't have bewitched the master so much that he's been thinking about bringing her back!" Second Madam continued in a sarcastic tone.
"Sigh." Third Grandma remained silent, only sighing and wiping away her tears.
"Wei Zumo, didn't you say that besides the four of us, there were no other flowers or grass outside!" Fourth Grandma, hands on her hips, pointed at Wei Zumo's nose and cursed, "You old bastard! Liar! Scumbag! Bastard!"
"Waaaaah!"
A bunch of children below started shouting too.
"No, everyone calm down!" Wei Xinghe was also stunned, turning to look at the butler. "What's going on?! Didn't you give me a heads-up beforehand?!"
"I was about to tell you when I came in, but you didn't let me," the butler shook his head, also looking troubled. "The four ladies were all in an uproar when they heard that the master had asked you to bring someone back. They're just waiting for you to come back so they can give the master a good scolding!"
"They're all so old, what are they doing making a scene?" Wei Xinghe sighed helplessly after learning the whole story and stepped in to break up the fight.
Wen Ni stood there, watching the four ladies wail and howl, baring their teeth and claws at her!
She was both amused and exasperated.
"Grandpa Wei, aren't you going to explain this to the ladies...?"
"Do you think they'll listen to my explanation? Look at them, it's like they're going to skin me alive!" Wei Zumao was sweating profusely, patting Wen Ni's arm. "Kid, I'm sorry, my family background is indeed a bit complicated, please excuse me!"
"Old Deng! You better explain yourself!" The eldest grandmother, with the strongest voice, stood with her hands on her hips, demanding an explanation. "Otherwise, I'm not finished with you!"
Wei Xinghe was also extremely busy.
He held Second Grandma's hand with his left hand, pushed Fourth Grandma with his right hand, and handed Third Grandma a tissue to wipe away her tears!
"Grandpa! Please explain yourself! Which of your confidantes is this Wen Ni your granddaughter? Are they related by blood? Otherwise, our grandmas will tear this house down!"
"She...she's not my granddaughter!!"
Wei Zumao was so anxious that he kept slapping his thigh, and finally managed to squeeze out a sentence.
The lobby was silent for only a second.
"Not your granddaughter?"
"That's your daughter!?"
"Tell me! Which little slut had your son!"
"Grandmas, please listen to me!" Wen Ni stretched out her arm, blocking the sweating Mr. Wei, and smiled faintly to stop the farce. "I have no relation to Grandpa Wei. I am the granddaughter of an old friend of his. I came to Hong Kong to study and also took the opportunity to visit Grandpa Wei. I didn't expect to cause such a misunderstanding and mess!"
"An old friend!? Humph!"
"No one would believe that!"
“He said the same thing to us when he brought the fourth son back last time!”
"That's right!"
Old Wei's reputation is indeed rather poor.
"Oh my, this time it really is an old friend of mine!" Wei Zumao couldn't take it anymore and directly revealed, "It's the Lu family in Beijing! The family of the old Lu who just died not long ago!"
"Liar! Mr. Lu only has two grandsons, not a granddaughter! Liar! Old liar!" Fourth Grandma continued to scold domineeringly.
"She...she...she's the girlfriend of the new head of the Lu family! The future young mistress of the Lu family!" Wei Zumo, uttering these words with a trembling voice, was uttered with exhaustion, silencing the entire front hall. He continued, "The Lu family has a special background, and I originally intended to keep it a secret! But who would have thought, who would have thought you would interrogate me like this! I..."
"Oh dear! What a huge misunderstanding!"
In the front hall, the four grandmothers instantly became kind-faced, gentle, amiable, virtuous, and reserved!
They surrounded Wen Ni with tender care and concern!
"The girl is so pretty!"
"The Lu family lad is so lucky!"
"That's right, when will our Xinghe be so lucky to find such a well-behaved, sensible, and beautiful girl!"
Wen Ni smiled faintly, "You ladies are too kind!"
"..."
Wei Xinghe and Wei Zumao, left standing to the side, stared at each other, both exasperated.
"Grandpa, is she really Lu Jinye's woman?"
“How could it be fake?” Wei Zumao said.
"Is Lu Jinye serious about her, or is he just playing around?"
Wei Xinghe stroked his chin, staring at Wen Ni's profile, and muttered to himself.
"I never expected that Lu Jinye would like this type of pure and innocent female college student? Does she have any background? Or is there something special about her that would attract a detached and indifferent man like Lu Jinye?"
"Hmph! You little brat, do you really think everyone's like you? You want to change ten girlfriends a day!"
Wei Zumao's disdain was palpable. He glanced at his eldest grandson, rested his hands on his cane, and shook his head slightly.
"I don't really know what's so attractive about this girl named Wen Ni, but I do know that Lu Jinye cares a lot about her! Otherwise, I wouldn't have asked you to pick her up in person."
“I know, Grandpa, although you and Mr. Lu always went against each other, you were actually closer than anyone else. Now that Mr. Lu has passed away, and Lu Jinye is his grandson, you treat him the same way you treat me, always ready to help him whenever he asks.” Wei Xinghe shook his head.
"It's good that you know. During Wen Ni's stay in our port city, I'm entrusting her to you. Take good care of her for me!" Wei Zumao patted Wei Xinghe on the shoulder, directly entrusting him with an important task. "After all, I'm getting old, and there are many things I can't do anymore."
"Huh? You're leaving her with me? Grandpa, I'm very busy."
Wei Xinghe nodded at first, but then sensed something was wrong and quickly refused.
"Busy? Busy with what? What else are you busy with besides your girlfriends all day? You don't learn anything about maritime affairs, unlike your second brother who is so diligent. If you go out and say you're a member of the Wei family, I'll be ashamed of you!"
"Grandpa, how dare you talk to me like that?" Wei Xinghe was speechless after being scolded. Finally, he scoffed and turned to leave. "You should take care of your four wives first!"
"You brat, how dare you speak ill of your grandpa? Wait a minute! What are you up to now?"
"I have something to do this afternoon."
Wei Xinghe hadn't taken two steps when his butt was nearly bruised and battered by Wei Zumao's cane!
"What do you have to say? You're probably just going out to eat, drink, and have fun with your bunch of cronies again! What did I say? You just let it go in one ear and out the other, aren't you? It's fine if you want to leave, but take Wen Ni with you. Take her out for a nice meal, and let her explore Hong Kong and get familiar with the area!"
"Huh? What? You want me to take her with me?" Wei Xinghe rubbed his bottom in pain. "Grandpa, she flew all this way, aren't you going to invite her in for a meal?"
