Chapter 1286 Hero Saving Beauty
Xiang Wai turned to Lao Jiangou and seeing his expression, she didn't ask for confirmation at all. But changed the topic, "Then Grandpa Jian, how did Grandpa meet Grandma?"
"Hmmm..." Lao Jiangou had a thoughtful look on his face, "I should say it was a hero saving the beauty plot."
"So exciting?" Xiang Wai's eyes sparkled with a gossiping light.
"It's more exciting if you know that the whole plot was just a planned act," told Lao Jiangou without any intention of hiding.
Xiang Wai's eyes widened, "Who? Grandpa?" "You think that boring gourd is capable of this?"
Xiang Wai pursed her lips to suppress her laughter before saying, "It was Grandma?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLao Jiangou nodded his head, "Although the times weren't really peaceful back then, the law and order weren't that bad either. Back then, people looked at soldiers reverently. I heard that Mistress seemed to have seen Master in his green uniform and found her target. She came to the country to see the country where her ancestors were from but it became difficult for her to go back because the international relations were very strained at that time. She had to hide in a small town and met Master there. Knowing that soldiers are very responsible, she acted her play and made sure to hug Master's leg and then she never let go."
"I thought people were very conservative back then," said Xiang Wai emotionally. "I didn't know they were open-minded enough to play like that."
Lao Jiangou laughed at her exaggerated expression, "Maybe because Mistress was born and raised abroad, her values and outlook were very different. So, she was very open-minded too."
"And yet the marriage between Grandpa and Grandma worked?"
"It worked very well. They complemented each other perfectly."
Xiang Wai kept trying to feed her curiosity by asking questions as they walked through the winding corridors and finally stopped, "Young Master, the is your place. Please freshen up before dinner. I'll show the way to the two Misses."
Xiang Weimin nodded and looked at Xiang Wai, "You stop asking questions already. Haven't you had enough?"
"Why? I think there are so many exciting stories I know nothing about." She completely ignored him and held Lao Jiangou's arm as she smiled at him, "Grandpa Jian, tell me more. Oh, I'm curious. Everyone in our family is a sensitive person and very keen. How did Grandpa fall for Grandma's trick? Did the beauty clouded his judgement?"
"No, but the beauty did strike his heart," said Lao Jiangou. "Because he actually saw through the act. He was such a soldier. He wasn't that easily fooled. But I think initially, he thought that your Grandma was an enemy agent. So, he told me to keep an eye on her when he brought her home. I thought he told me to take more care of her because he fell in love at first sight but later I saw the clues. He purely thought that she was a spy who was trying to get close to him for evil purposes."
"Pfft!" Xiang Wai laughed so hard that tears came out of her eyes. She could not believe it. "Raelle, did you hear it? Our grandparents have an even more exciting love story filled with mystery and twists and turns than ours."
Raelle didn't pay her any attention but it wasn't like she wasn't listening. In fact, all her attention was on the love story of her grandparents. It was a fresh experience for her.
"Did Grandma never found out about his doubts?" asked Xiang Wai ignoring Raelle as well when she didn't get any satisfactory reaction from her.
"She did found out after they got married. Master never liked hiding things so he told everything to her truthfully. And then he had to sleep on the couch for a month too."
Xiang Wai laughed even harder, "My poor Grandpa really suffered. But who told him to doubt Grandma? Hehe..."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLao Jiangou felt like like Xiang Wai seemed to be enjoying the distress of her Grandfather way too much but he didn't voice his opinion at the moment. In fact, he also gloated back then at Grandfather Xiang and said the same thing that he deserved to suffer for doubting the identity and intention of the Mistress. "This is your room, Miss Wai. Take some rest before dinner."
"We are here, already?" Xiang Wai was very displeased that they arrived at her place so soon. Raelle wanted to tell her that they had to walk for ten minutes before reaching this wing. She still felt like they arrived too early. Wow! Raelle was speechless. But then again, she really couldn't comprehend the way Xiang Wai's brain worked.
"But I'm not done yet," added Xiang Wai.
"We are staying for a week," reminded Raelle.
Xiang Wai perked up, "Yes. We are staying for a week. So, Grandpa Jian, you try to remember all the interesting stories of my grandparents and I'll come and find you again. Okay?"
Lao Jiangou didn't refuse at all.
Xiang Wai happily went inside the wing to take a rest. She was looking forward to asking more questions and knowing more about her grandparents. This was the only way for her to feel close to them. After all, Grandma was no longer around. But she just realized that her Grandma left way too many legends behind.
Lao Jiangou looked at Raelle and Shui Xian who happened spoken a word in front of him until now. In fact, he had the strongest impression of Raelle. He never met her. But he heard a lot from Mu Chenyan. How was it possible that he knew nothing about Raelle?
Grandfather Xiang and Mu Chenyan came here every year after all. And a person like Mu Chenyan who loved gushing about her Raelle never stopped mentioning her in all these years. So, even if people here didn't meet Raelle in person. Everyone had seen her photos and they were too clear about her personality and daily habits too. That's why he didn't find Raelle's lack of enthusiasm odd at all. It seemed quite normal like that's how it should be. That's how Raelle should be.
