Xiao Yichen said this with a cold and hard voice and no smile on his face, but Liu Shuyao was already used to her eldest son's cold temperament.
"We're chatting with your brother right now. Do you want to join us? Mommy made some new tea today. Come and try some!"
Liu Shuyao invited her eldest son to join their tea party!
"No, I'm a little tired today, I'm going upstairs to rest first!"
Xiao Yichen walked past Liu Shuyao and went straight upstairs without even saying hello to Xiao Jingchu who was sitting on the sofa!
"Mom, does my brother dislike me? He has never smiled at me?" Xiao Haoran lowered his head sadly as he looked at the person who disappeared on the stairs.
"That's not true. Your elder brother is just a cold-tempered person. He doesn't get close to anyone! Don't take it to heart!"
Liu Shuyao didn't think much of it. She was used to her boss being like this.
However, Xiao Jingchu, who was reading a magazine and drinking tea, raised his eyelids to look at his youngest son, and his expression changed slightly.
Xiao Yichen went upstairs but did not return to his room on the third floor. Instead, he went to Grandma Xiao's room on the second floor and knocked on the door.
"Knock! Knock!"
"Here I come, here I come!" Aunt Wang's voice came from inside.
"Young Master, you're back?" Aunt Wang looked at Xiao Yichen who was knocking on the door with some confusion.
"Um, Aunt Wang, is Grandma asleep? I have something to ask her!"
Xiao Yichen's expression softened a lot when he was talking to Aunt Wang, not as cold and hard as he had been downstairs just now.
"Come in quickly, the old lady just went to bed and she hasn't fallen asleep yet!" Aunt Wang quickly let Xiao Yichen into the room.
I walked across the small living room to the old lady's bedroom, where I saw her wearing silk pajamas, sitting against the head of the bed, with her head down, looking at something.
"Xiao Wang, who is that?" She didn't look up and was still concentrating on what was in her hand. She asked when she heard footsteps.
"Grandma, it's me!" Xiao Yichen's low and hoarse voice sounded in the room.
Upon hearing this, the old lady quickly put down the booklet in her hand, opened the drawer and put the booklet in. Then she looked at her handsome, tall and mighty grandson with some surprise.
"Xiaochen, why are you back so late? Have you had dinner?" asked Mrs. Xiao.
Xiao Yichen did not ignore the flash of panic on the old lady's face, and her concealing the fact that she put the things away. He saw it clearly.
It was a real estate brochure, which happened to be a brochure for a high-end residential complex developed by the Xiao family. The main products in it were large, fully-furnished flats ranging from 200 to 300 square meters.
He didn't know why grandma was looking at this, but she hid herself after seeing him. However, he didn't think much about it, because he still needed grandma's help with something.
"Grandma, I came back because I have something to tell you!" Xiao Yichen sat down beside the old lady's bed.
"What brings you all the way back so late?"
This made the old lady even more curious. This eldest grandson had been very independent-minded since he was a child and was the smartest and calmest among the three brothers.
"Aunt Wang, please go and keep watch outside and make sure no one gets close to here. Grandma and I have something important to discuss!"
Xiao Yichen said to Aunt Wang who was tidying up next to him with a serious face.
"Okay, Master!"
Aunt Wang was stunned by his words. Who was he guarding against? But who else in the family could he be worried about, except... Thinking of this, she quickly responded and walked out.
"What are you going to tell grandma that makes you so cautious?"
The old lady was also a little confused by her eldest grandson's words. This was home, not in those other messy places, and she needed to pay attention at all times.
"Grandma!" Seeing Aunt Wang closed the bedroom door and stood guard outside, Xiao Yichen plopped down in front of the old lady's bed.
"What's wrong with you? What happened? Why are you kneeling down? Get up quickly!"
The old lady was startled by his actions and hurriedly got out of bed to pull him up, but after trying several times she failed. She had to give up, sat down beside the bed, and asked him with a worried look on her face.
"Tell grandma what happened?"
"Grandma, I want to be with Sanbao, I want to protect him from the wind and rain, and I want to spend the rest of my life with him!"
Xiao Yichen knelt straight and looked at the old lady with a determined face.
"What?" "What did you say? Say it again?" The old lady stood up from the bedside, her voice a few notes higher than usual, and asked again in disbelief.
"Grandma, I want to spend the rest of my life with him!"
Xiao Yichen said it again in a neither humble nor arrogant manner. No matter how many times he said it, the result was the same. The determination in his eyes did not change at all.
"He's still so young?" The old lady was shocked and angry by his words!
"Why did you..."
"Grandma, we are not related by blood, and he has already left the Xiao family and moved his household registration, so we can be together!" Xiao Yichen said.
"You still say, you still say... bang bang bang!"
The old lady walked back and forth in the room as she spoke. Seeing that he was still stubborn, she slapped Xiao Yichen on the back a few times to vent her anger.
But this did not make her feel better, instead she became even angrier, because her hands were hurt from slapping, because her eldest grandson was too hard and it was tiring!
The old lady ignored her eldest grandson who was still kneeling on the ground. She took deep breaths to regulate herself, and finally calmed down a few times!
"Tell grandma, what are you thinking? Why do you suddenly want to be with Sanbao?
You didn't hear that I was going to leave my shares and property to him, so you wanted to marry him, right? "
The old lady sat back on the bed, leaning against the headboard and spoke in a tone that brooked no refusal, with some doubt in her eyes, blaming herself for speaking too hastily last time.
"Grandma, I don't think so. I already have the shares and property myself, so there's no need to do this!!
I came back today because I wanted grandma to help me say some good things to him. He seems to be avoiding me now!"
Seeing that his grandmother's attitude had softened, Xiao Yichen quickly expressed his attitude, with a hint of grievance in his tone, like a child who was complaining.
Things will be much easier as long as grandma agrees. Sanbao used to listen to her the most!
"Humph, I was right to avoid you. How long has he been away? Has anyone of you looked for him? Has anyone cared about him?"
When I talk about this old lady, she gets angry and her breathing becomes heavier. What a heartless family!
"Grandma, I was too busy before and didn't think much about it. I will definitely make more time to spend with you and Sanbao in the future."
Xiao Yichen had no way to refute this point. He had indeed done something wrong before, and he had already reflected deeply on it.
"Don't you know that your mother doesn't like him? If he marries you, he won't have a good life. He will be bullied by her. Find someone else for him who will live a better life than you!"
The old lady said this, but she was actually moved. However, she felt a pain in her heart when she thought of her daughter-in-law. She was angry because she knew Liu Shuyao too well.
She was sure that if her eldest grandson really married Sanbao, she would definitely make trouble so that Sanbao could live a peaceful life.
