Guan Zherui raised her hand to tuck the hair beside her ears and called out "Mom" with a smile.
Then she turned around, picked up Xia Zicheng who was lying on the sofa, walked to her grandmother, and said with a smile, "Mom, this is Zicheng, please hold your grandson."
Xia Zicheng curled up in Guan Zherui's arms, with resistance written on his face. It was obvious that he was somewhat resistant to this grandmother in front of him who was a complete stranger to him.
Guan Zherui had an almost imperceptible pride on her face. She thought that Xia Guokang's ex-wife Wu Min failed to give Xia Guokang a son, but she gave him a son as their first child, so she could be considered a great minister in her husband's family.
——When she got married, she didn’t ask for a wedding or a banquet. Now that her husband’s family sees their grandson, they will definitely give her a big red envelope!
But the grandmother had no intention of taking the child, and there was not much joy in her eyes. She just glanced at Xia Guokang and said, "You are kind, but I am old and can't hold the child anymore. You should go back early."
When Guan Zherui heard this, the smile on her face froze instantly. Her original pride was replaced by embarrassment and grievance. She turned to look at Xia Guokang helplessly.
Xia Guokang couldn't help but frown when he saw this. He said in a dissatisfied tone, "Mom, are you still blaming me?"
Seeing his mother's cold face and silence, Xia Guokang sighed helplessly and explained: "I admit that I was wrong in the past. I shouldn't have denied you and shouldn't have contacted you, but I had no choice..."
"You don't know how powerful Wu Min and her family are. Her family has always looked down on me, a son-in-law from the countryside..."
At this point, Xia Guokang's voice was choked with sobs. He rubbed his face and said sincerely, "But it's different now. Wu Min is gone, and I married Xiao Rui. From now on, we can visit each other more often! No matter what, we are a family connected by blood!"
After hearing what Xia Guokang said, everyone in the living room had different expressions, among which Xia Jianing's expression was the most complicated.
She bit her lower lip, her eyes filled with resentment - it was clearly his father who despised his rural family, and it was clearly him who was afraid that others would look down on him, so why did he put all the problems on his divorced mother?
What right does he have to say that!
Xia Guokang didn't even look at Xia Jianing. He reached out to pull Teng Hao next to him and introduced him to everyone: "By the way, let me introduce you, this is Xiao Hao, my newly adopted son!"
Xia Guokang's face was ruddy, and he felt quite high-spirited. In the past, everyone laughed at him for not having a son. He had always dreamed of having a son, but unfortunately he had never been able to do so. Now that he had two sons at once, the satisfaction in his heart was simply indescribable.
Grandma's expression was indifferent, and she was a little impatient. She said in a cold voice: "Even if you have a son, you shouldn't be mean to your daughter. The Wu family has been kind to you, and you shouldn't treat Wu Min's only bloodline badly."
After hearing this, Guan Zherui's smile faded a little - she gave the Xia family a grandson! Why did the old lady only have eyes for her granddaughter? Are grandsons less important than granddaughters?
Xia Guokang's face changed when he heard this. He said with some dissatisfaction: "Mom..."
"Stop!" Grandma interrupted Xia Guokang impatiently and asked with a frown, "You four came here in the rain. Just say whatever you want to say! Stop wasting time here!"
Grandma saw how much Xia Guokang didn't want to have anything to do with this family over the years. She didn't believe that they came all the way here just to chat about these things.
Upon hearing this, Xia Guokang exchanged glances with Guan Zherui, then he coughed lightly and replied, "Mom, since you said so, I'll just say it straight."
He touched Teng Hao's head and said with some heartache: "I think you all know that Teng Hao's mother left during the snowstorm..."
"Xiao Rui and I have discussed it and decided that you should transfer the house in the residential area in front to Xiao Hao's name as compensation for the child."
