A soft, sweet female voice reached the ears of the family of three. The three members of the Fang family blinked in confusion, searching around for the source of the voice.
Upon seeing the familiar expressions, the Huo family immediately knew that their parents, sister (maternal grandparents), and aunt knew. Worry welled up in the Huo family's hearts. They already knew that anyone who could hear Xingyue's thoughts was likely to encounter something bad.
Fang Yihan immediately noticed the momentary freeze on the faces of her older sister and grandson.
"Big sister, did you hear anything just now?"
She leaned closer to her older sister and asked in a low voice.
"I'll explain later," Mrs. Huo said to her younger sister in a low voice.
Since her younger sister asked, she obviously heard it.
“Okay.” Fang Yihan looked at their current environment and realized it wasn’t a suitable place to chat.
Judging from what my sister said, it sounds like it won't be something that can be explained in a short time.
"Grandpa, Grandma."
Little Fatty was poked by his older brother and quickly called out to the two elderly people.
"Hey, Grandma's good grandson, come down quickly, Grandma has fried your favorite crispy pork ribs for you."
Grandma Fang momentarily forgot about the unfamiliar female voice from before, and gazed lovingly at her grandson peeking out of the car window.
Huo Tingjun pushed open the car door and jumped out.
"Come here, Grandpa, my darling, you've lost weight. Have you not been eating enough at home? Yixuan, children are at the age where they are growing, you can't starve them. You have a heavy burden, and if you're short of money, we, the old couple, have it. But the child is the most important thing, you can't let her go hungry. Come here, Grandpa will give you a hug."
Grandpa Fang bent down and picked up Huo Tingjun, who had lost almost half his weight recently. He weighed him in his arms, then looked at the couple who had followed behind him with displeasure and began to scold them.
They knew that their eldest grandson had married a beautiful young wife who wanted the best of everything. Tingxiao had also had a leg injury, and their youngest grandson still needed to go to school, which increased the family's expenses considerably. They were worried that the couple would be frugal with their money, and Grandpa Fang was reluctant to let his daughter and son-in-law suffer any hardship.
Grandpa Fang wasn't dissatisfied with his granddaughter-in-law's high expenses. She was pampered in her own home and there was no reason for her to be mistreated in their home. She should be treated the same way in her husband's home as she was in her own.
"Dad, no, how could we let Xiaojun go hungry? Xiaojun's previous weight was abnormal, and it's good for her health to lose weight slowly now."
The couple shook their heads in unison. Faced with their parents, even though they were both in their fifties, they still had no choice but to obediently listen to them.
They hadn't told their parents about Xiaojun being drugged before, for fear of worrying the two elderly people.
"Why should a child lose weight? He'll grow taller and slimmer when he's older. But being overweight is definitely bad for his health. He can lose weight, but I can't let my precious grandson go hungry."
Grandpa Fang kept saying that it would be good if the child grew thin, but as an intellectual, he was also worried in private about the health of an overweight child. However, he still felt sorry for his grandson, so he just muttered a few words to the couple.
"Don't worry," the couple replied.
"Where is Xingyue? Has Xingyue arrived?"
Upon seeing their grandson, the elderly couple peered expectantly into the car.
The female voice they just heard must have been their granddaughter-in-law's, right?
The elderly couple hadn't seen their granddaughter-in-law in so long that they could hardly tell them apart.
"Grandpa and Grandma".
"Yueyue is here! Quick, quick, let's go inside. It must be so hot."
Upon seeing Wen Xingyue pushing Huo Tingxiao, the elderly couple's faces beamed with loving smiles, and Grandma Fang's smile deepened.
They had been worried that their granddaughter-in-law wouldn't want to come.
Although they knew from their daughter and son-in-law that Xingyue was also coming this time, the elderly couple got up early in the morning to buy a lot of things.
Knowing this was one thing, but not seeing it with their own eyes still made the couple worried. Now that they had seen the little girl, they couldn't even care less about their eldest grandson.
Moreover, they felt that their granddaughter-in-law was a little different from the ones they had met before; she was more likable.
"No, there's a breeze in the car."
Wen Xingyue had a soft smile on her face and a sweet, gentle voice.
The little girl's voice is naturally soft and sweet, soothing and gentle that it melts your heart.
"You must be tired after sitting in the car for so long, right? Come on, Grandma and Auntie have prepared lots of delicious food for you kids inside."
Grandma Fang reached out and took Wen Xingyue's hand, smiling warmly as she spoke affectionately.
After Huo's mother and father arrived, they spoke highly of Wen Xingyue to the elderly couple, fearing that they might harbor resentment towards her because of what had happened before.
Little did they know that the elderly couple would never have any complaints about Wen Xingyue. They knew that their family had indeed made a big mistake regarding the wedding banquet, and they would never leave on their wedding night.
"Sister-in-law, Grandma's cooking is amazing! She's even better than Wang Ma at home. We're going to have to eat a lot later. Grandma doesn't cook often; she only cooks for our birthdays."
Little Fatty followed Wen Xingyue like a little tail.
"Okay, okay!" Wen Xingyue replied excitedly.
For Wen Xingyue, Wang Ma's cooking was already the best she had ever eaten. Now, hearing from Xiao Pang that her grandmother's cooking was even better than Wang Ma's, Wen Xingyue was really looking forward to it.
[I get to eat something delicious again! Hehe, it's even better than Wang Ma's cooking! Slurp, I can't wait to eat it!]
The little girl's gluttonous voice reached their ears, and the entire Huo family couldn't help but smile indulgently, except for Grandpa Fang and the others, whose eyes were filled with confusion.
The soft, sweet female voice entered their ears again. They hadn't misheard before. The Fang family members stared at Wen Xingyue, or rather, her mouth, with confused eyes.
The first few words were just a few words, but Xingyue didn't say a word in the long string of words that followed.
They had previously thought they hadn't seen the girl speak, but now that she was right in front of them, they still hadn't seen her.
Has the world become surreal?
"Mom and Dad, let's go inside and talk about it. It's getting hot outside, and it's not good to be in the heat."
Huo's mother stepped forward and took her mother's hand.
"Okay, okay, let's go inside and talk about it."
Grandma Fang looked at her daughter shaking her head, and although she didn't quite understand why, she still agreed with her daughter.
"Yes, yes, let's go inside and talk, it's not good for you kids to get hot."
Even if he had doubts, when it came to matters concerning the children, Fang's grandfather was the most important.
"Xingyue, this is your aunt."
Huo's mother introduced them to Wen Xingyue.
"Auntie," Wen Xingyue called out to Fang Yihan, who had already approached with Huo's mother.
"Yueyue, it's been so long since I've seen Yueyue. Our Yueyue is even more beautiful now."
Even though Fang Yihan was unhappy about Wen Xingyue's antics at her sister's house before, seeing the sweet and gentle-looking girl with her bright and charming eyes, her heart melted. As for her previous unhappiness, well, it had long since vanished with the wind, and she sincerely praised her.
