Chapter 9: Yuan Xuan Still Sided With That Girl To A Certain Degree
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The Old Mistress looked out the window once again anxiously and urged, “Send someone to look for the Young Master and ask him to dinner with me tonight!”
It was true that people got more affectionate as they grew older!
When Yuan Xuan did not eat at home, the Old Mistress would eat a lot lesser!
Due to business needs, he had to attend to different social activities. Therefore, he did not have many opportunities to eat dinner with his grandmother!
Since he rarely had free time, hence the Old Mistress urged to see him. Yuan Xuan smiled and answered in a low voice,
“Grandma, there’s no need for that. Little Xuan is here!”
Yuan Xuan’s usual cold demeanor was gone and he turned into a petty spoiled child.
Outsiders would probably never get to see this side of the Yuan Family’s Young Master. Who knew that such a decisive and powerful man in Luo Hai City would actually laugh!
“Little Xuan was late as he took a shower. Did Grandma wait anxiously?”
The honorable man passed his coat to the maid as he spoke. He sat next to the Old Mistress apologetically with his legs crossed.
It was a good move.
He was not only handsome, even his looks and built was first-class. How could the Old Mistress not love her grandson who was both cultured and talented!
“I was just talking about it. Since the girl came back today, all you could think about is her and you’ll forget about visiting Grandma!”
The Yuan Old Mistress did not say Chenyan’s name. That was because she did not want to admit that the woman her grandson married used to be a murder suspect!
Of course, she never liked Chenyan even from before, but it was never to the point of despising her!
After all, the Mu Family was once relatively powerful, so she did not express it too obviously!
But now, in addition to Chenyan’s dark past, the Mu Family was also ruined. As such, the Old Mistress naturally disliked this granddaughter-in-law of hers!
Yuan Xuan smiled, and handed an incense to the Old Mistress. This was a tribute-grade incense that he ordered someone to bring back from West Asia. It was once sent to the Forbidden City of Beijing to be used by the concubines in the palace!
Yuan Xuan’s dark eyes were unusually calm and he said in a low voice,
“How dare I forget about visiting Grandma?”
“Chenyan just returned and her body is still a little weak, so I’m afraid that her pale face might frighten Grandma. Let her rest for a few days and after her complexion has gotten better, I will bring her along to pay respect to Grandma!”
The Yuan Old Mistress liked it when he spoke to her respectfully in a nobleman tone!
Who would still pay respect in the 21st century?
Nonetheless, if the Empress Dowager Cixi was still alive, she would be treated like this!
Both her children and grandchildren had to treat her like that!
The tense look on the Old Mistress’s face eased and she smiled and said,
“That girl’s features aren’t likable! Her chin is too sharp and she’s way too thin. Moreover, her complexion is frighteningly pale! To think that she was once from a noble family, how did they raise their daughter like that!”
The Yuan Old Mistress’s words sounded a little bitter!
The servants at the side heard what she said and they glanced at each other meaningfully. They sighed internally but dared not say a word.
The Old Mistress was probably the only one in this world who would complain about the appearance of the Mu Family’s daughter!
Miss Chenyan once astonished everyone in Luo Hai City with her beauty. Regardless of the beautiful girls from the lower families, celebrities or socialites, there were only very few who was even more beautiful than Mu Chenyan!
Yuan Xuan heard his grandmother’s words and said without batting an eyelid, “Indeed, Chenyan does not look pleasing to the elders because she’s too thin!
“I will ask her to eat more! After gaining a little more weight, she will be even more perfect!”
The Yuan Old Mistress looked at her grandson as she knew that his words had a hidden meaning to it!
He did not refute her words when she said that Chenyan was not likable, but he also did not admit that his wife was ugly!
“Even more perfect” were the words that turned it around!
He meant that this girl was already perfect in his eyes…
The Old Mistress sighed after knowing that Yuan Xuan still sided with that girl to a certain degree!
Otherwise, when that incident happened, Yuan Xuan would not have made a big fuss when the Yuan Family was planning to call off the wedding!
That was also the first time that the Old Mistress saw her grandson disobey her…
