Chapter 496: Banquet Invitation (Part 4)
"I’m not that tired either." Jiang Xue smiled and shook her head. Contributing to this family, even if a bit bitter and tiring, was sweet as honey to her.
"Qian Cheng, by the way, I have something to tell you. Wenbin’s grandma is here, who is my grandma, and she is staying at our place now."
Mu Qiancheng was very happy to hear this. Jiang Xue now had another relative, and he felt glad for her. So he said to her, "Xue’er, see if you can have her stay a few more days. I’ll try my best to find time to come back and meet her."
"Sure, I’ll try my best." Jiang Xue agreed with a smile. She also wanted Mu Qiancheng to meet Grandma Shangguan. She knew that Grandma Shangguan truly cared for her, and naturally hoped she could meet Mu Qiancheng, which would put her mind at ease.
The couple talked for a while without noticing the time passing by. Jiang Xue glanced at the clock on the wall; it was almost time for class. She had to say to Mu Qiancheng, "Qian Cheng, it’s getting late, I have to go to class."
Upon hearing that, Mu Qiancheng reluctantly ended the call.
After hanging up, it wasn’t long before the children for the afternoon class arrived.
After class, Jiang Xue rode her bicycle home. Just as she reached the door, she heard unfamiliar voices coming from inside.
"Are there guests at home?" Jiang Xue slightly raised her eyebrows and walked towards the house. The door was not closed, and Jiang Xue immediately saw Ouyang Yi sitting on the sofa along with an elderly man she didn’t recognize.
Seeing Ouyang Yi, Jiang Xue’s expression turned unfavorable. Not only did he go to her class in the morning to personally deliver an invitation, now he’d even found her home in the afternoon.
What exactly did he want to do? Could it be that he knew she would throw away the invitation, so he came to her house?
A surge of impulse rose in Jiang Xue’s heart. She wanted to question him properly, to see what exactly he was up to.
The people chatting heard the noise, looked up, and saw Jiang Xue had returned, so they greeted her with a smile.
"Xue’er, come sit over here with grandma." Grandma Shangguan waved at Jiang Xue, intending to introduce her old friend to her.
Jiang Xue would be living in Xu City in the future, so knowing more people would be advantageous for her. Besides, the Ouyang family was a big family in Xu City, knowing them could only benefit Jiang Xue, not harm her.
Jiang Xue nodded with a smile, then sat down beside Grandma Shangguan.
"Brother Ouyang, this is my granddaughter, Jiang Xue. Please help take care of her in the future." Grandma Shangguan introduced once Jiang Xue sat down, addressing the elderly man sitting opposite.
"Rest assured, sister-in-law, your granddaughter is also my granddaughter, Ouyang Peng. I will definitely take good care of her in Xu City for you." The elderly man readily agreed.
Jiang Xue’s gaze flickered slightly upon hearing the man’s self-introduction. So this elderly man was also an Ouyang; no wonder he came with Ouyang Yi. She just didn’t know how they were related.
While pondering, Jiang Xue heard Grandma Shangguan speak again, saying, "Then let me thank Brother Ouyang on behalf of Xue’er."
"Xue’er, this is Brother Ouyang, a friend of Grandma’s, and also the grandfather of that brat Ouyang Yi."
"Hello, Grandpa Ouyang!" Jiang Xue greeted with a smile, secretly realizing that this elderly man was Ouyang Yi’s grandfather. No wonder.
"Hello, Snow." Ouyang Peng responded while appraising Jiang Xue, then pointed at Ouyang Yi beside him and said, "Snow, this is my unimpressive grandson, a few years older than you. Today you officially meet, and you can connect more in the future."
