Ge Chen suddenly rembered that he had to tell her sothing. He said, "I forgot to tell you that my grandmother ca back."
Xue Lin nodded. "Oh, I see." She knew that she had to prepare herself ntally. Grandpa Su Fengfei was easygoing. His wife might not be as easy going as him.
Ge Chen said, "You t her."
Xue Lin blinked. She was stunned before asking, "Did I? When?" She couldn’t rember encountering an old woman.
It was Ge Chen’s ti to be surprised. "...Don’t you rember?" After he saw her shaking her head, he answered, "You t in front of the kitchen."
"Really? I have been absent-minded recently." She still couldn’t rember any old woman she encountered.
Her husband tried to make her rember, "You just t her a couple of minutes ago."
Xue Lin nodded. "I see. There are lots of faces here. It’s hard to morize everyone’s face."
"Are you having a problem with morizing faces?" Ge Chen didn’t think that an intelligent girl like her would have that kind of problem. He couldn’t imagine how she lived abroad.
She answered, "Yes, I have that problem. Did she want to et ?"
Ge Chen replied, "Yes, she will talk to us in the evening. She just ca back, so she is tired."
"That makes sense. I’ll finish my work so that I can have so free ti later." Xue Lin turned on her laptop since it went to ’sleep’ mood.
"I won’t disturb you then." Ge Chen stood up and walked out of the bedroom. He had things to do as well.

In the evening, Gu Xiali was covering her forehead with her hand. In front of her, Xue Lin was sitting on the sofa. They were the only ones who were in the room. Xue Lin noticed that her palms were sweating, her heart was beating fast, and her stomach was rumbling.
It is Gu Xiali’s parlor. The room was spacious and decorated with antique furniture and flowers. The sll of aristocracy is stronger here. Xue Lin could see lots of artifacts placed all over the room. She had an urge to touch them but she controlled herself by clenching fists.
Gu Xiali was the most beautiful grandmother Xue Lin saw in her life. Despite being seventy-six years old, she looked like a middle-aged woman. She is able to maintain her beauty even though she is so old, it made Xue Lin respect her. No wonder she couldn’t recall eting any old woman. She thought that that middle-aged woman she t in front of the kitchen was an employee.
Gu Xiali observed Xue Lin top to bottom. She started the conversation, "Say, your na is Fa Xue Lin."
"Yes." Xue Lin answered robotically.
’She looks nervous.’ Gu Xiali thought. But she had no interest in going easy on her. "And you are on bad terms with your family."
"That’s true." Xue Lin naturally told the truth. She didn’t want to lie since she realized that her background was checked thoroughly.
Gu Xiali seeped the warm rose team and sharply looked at her, "And why is that?"
Xue Lin frowned slightly rembering the last incident. "It’s because they wanted to marry into a bad family."
Gu Xiali narrowed her eyes. "Bad family, you say. But you did end up marrying into that family anyway."
"I did not." Xue Lin stubbornly answered.
Gu Xiali lifted her eyebrow. "How so? Xiao Chen belongs to the Ge Family."
"He doesn’t belong to a place where he has no value and no one treated him as their own. This is what I believe and no one can change my belief." Xue Lin’s tone was firm and clear. Her grey eyes didn’t waver.
Gu Xiali comnted, "You have a pretty good mouth for such a young girl."
"Thank you for the complint." Xue Lin bowed slightly.
"..."
"..."
Ti passed slowly. It seed slower than a sli. Xue Lin felt pressured. Her stomach was feeling worse than before.
Gu Xiali finished her tea and said, "I heard that you kicked out Xiao Chen’s grandfather."
"I didn’t kick him out. I politely told fishing grandpa to kick him out or I would leave. Fishing grandpa kicked him out." Xue Lin said righteously.
[A/N: Politely, you say... I must know the wrong definition of politeness then. -_- ]
Gu Xiali couldn’t understand her terms of speaking. She asked, "...Who is ’Fishing Grandpa’?"
Xue Lin replied, "Your husband."
"..."
When she saw that grandmother Gu Xiali didn’t speak, Xue Lin said, "I don’t rember his na." She spoke as if nothing was wrong.
"..." Gu Xiali regretted that she asked. "I also heard that you went to the Ge Family and made quite a fuss."
Xue Lin answered, "It wasn’t my intention. I’m rather a peaceful person. But Chen’s father didn’t act like a father, his shaless wife was trying to teach us a lesson, and that stupid idiot so of theirs was insulting Chen. I couldn’t take it anymore and I had to open my mouth. After all, a married man with a beautiful family destroyed everything to have a street woman doesn’t deserve my respect."
"!!!" Gu Xiali was astonished at first but then she leaned forward and grabbed Xue Lin’s hands. "I just realized that you are the perfect bride for my grandson."
"..." Xue Lin wondered, ’For what reason I was so nervous?’
