Lin Chuxia shook her head innocently, "No, Grandpa, I'm so happy to know you want to throw a banquet for me and announce my identity in front of the media. How could I refuse?"
"Lin Chuxia, you—"
"Enough! Shut up! Is this how a mother should act? Go outside and see which mother treats her daughter like you?"
"Dad, you don't know, it's all because of this girl..."
Xie Jinya wanted to explain, but before she could finish, she was interrupted again by Grandpa An.
"Alright! I'm not blind! I can tell who doesn't want to do it!"
Grandpa An served on the battlefield when he was young, and even now that he is old, he is still very imposing when he gets angry.
Xie Jinya was already somewhat afraid of him, and now she was so afraid that her heart skipped a beat, but what she felt most in her heart was resentment towards Lin Chuxia.
"Dad, it really wasn't us, it was Lin Chuxia. She clearly told us when she came..." Xie Jinya didn't dare to finish her sentence because she saw the disappointment written all over Grandpa An's face.
Grandpa An turned to An Guosheng, "And what about you? What do you think?"
An Guosheng hesitated for a moment before slowly speaking, "Dad, we can't rush this matter; we need to plan it carefully."
"How is this too hasty?! Huh?! We need to plan this out carefully. Did I ask you to hold a meeting to elect a president? It's just a matter of publicly announcing Chu Xia's identity. Is this really that difficult for you?"
Grandpa An was so angry that he slammed his cane hard against the ground.
Xie Jinya and An Guosheng didn't dare to say anything more.
Lin Chuxia was afraid that the old man would get sick from anger, so she quickly spoke up to soothe him: "Grandpa, don't be angry! It's not a big deal, why are you so angry? If you get sick from this and have to stay in bed for three to five days to recover, then I'll pull out all these precious flowers and plants in your yard. When you get better, you'll just have a bare yard."
"You little rascal..." After Lin Chuxia said that, Grandpa An's face, which had just been flushed with anger, instantly turned into a smile.
"Alright, I'm not angry anymore." Grandpa An said, then called out to An Mingzhu and An Mingyu, "You three children go play in the yard first, I'll talk to your parents."
Seeing that the old man's complexion had returned to normal, Lin Chuxia nodded and left the house with peace of mind.
An Mingyu followed her out, glaring at her angrily, "How could you go back on your word?"
"When did I go back on my word?" Lin Chuxia retorted.
"Just now! If it weren't for you, would Grandpa have gotten so angry at Mom and Dad?" The boy's cheeks puffed up with anger.
Lin Chuxia found it somewhat amusing: "It seems like you've always been the ones forcing your own ideas onto me. When did I ever promise to do things your way?"
"How...how can you be so unreasonable?"
"I'm unreasonable?" Lin Chuxia chuckled softly. "I just agreed with Grandpa's idea and hoped that Mom and Dad would publicly acknowledge my identity. How is that unreasonable?"
"What about your sister? Isn't this deliberately embarrassing her and leaving her no way out?"
Lin Chuxia suddenly looked up and stared intently at the boy in front of her.
"Is this really what you think, or is someone deliberately telling you this?"
