Chapter 512: Turning of Events (Part 6)
Grandma Shangguan never expected that just a simple party would stir up so many issues, especially related to Jiang Xue.
This made her lose all goodwill towards the Ouyang Family. She wasn’t some homebound old lady. On the contrary, she had seen a lot in the world, and with just a little thought, she understood the whole story.
Fortunately, Jiang Xue was prepared. Otherwise, it would have been Jiang Xue locked up in jail today. The thought that she almost got Jiang Xue in trouble made Grandma Shangguan very remorseful.
She finally understood why Jiang Xue didn’t want to attend the party that day; she must have long suspected that the others would do something at the party.
At this moment, Grandma Shangguan was talking with everyone but was eagerly hoping for Jiang Xue to return soon so she could apologize to her.
Time passed slowly, and finally, there was a noise at the door, and Grandma Shangguan quickly looked up towards the entrance.
After a short moment, the door opened, and Jiang Xue and Mu Qiancheng walked in. Seeing Jiang Xue return, Grandma Shangguan breathed a sigh of relief and stood up to look at her.
"Grandma, Dad, Mom, you haven’t rested yet?" As Jiang Xue and Mu Qiancheng entered the room, they faced four or five pairs of eyes, feeling a bit embarrassed.
It was almost midnight, and she didn’t expect everyone to still be awake, waiting for them.
"Xue’er, Qiancheng, you’re back. Are you okay?" Mu Siwu was the first to speak and asked.
"Dad, we’re fine!" Jiang Xue replied with a smile, then walked up to everyone and said apologetically, "Dad, Mom, Grandma, I’m sorry to make you worry again."
"Child, don’t blame yourself, it’s not your fault." Bai Yuhua reached out and patted Jiang Xue, saying. She knew Jiang Xue wasn’t someone who would cause trouble, so she believed Jiang Xue was not at fault; the fault had to be with the other party.
"Thank you, Mom!" Jiang Xue gave Bai Yuhua a grateful look. She really, really liked this mother-in-law.
She always stood by her side, no matter what she did, she believed her. In this regard, her mother-in-law was just like Mu Qiancheng, having absolute trust in her.
"Xue’er, I’m sorry, it’s all Grandma’s fault." Grandma Shangguan finally spoke and took one of Jiang Xue’s hands, seriously apologizing.
If it weren’t for her insisting Jiang Xue attend tonight’s party, none of this would have happened. Jiang Xue wouldn’t have been bullied, nor would she have almost been taken to the police station.
"Grandma, don’t say that. You meant well for me. As for what happened tonight, don’t take it upon yourself. They wanted to target me, and if not today, it would have been tomorrow or the day after."
Jiang Xue didn’t want Grandma Shangguan to blame herself for this. Ming Lan had been plotting against her and Mu Qiancheng more than just once or twice.
"Yes, Old Madam Shangguan, don’t blame yourself, this has nothing to do with you."
"Yes, Old Madam, don’t overthink. As long as Xue’er is fine, that’s what matters."
Seeing everyone comforting Grandma Shangguan, Jiang Xue pulled Mu Qiancheng over and formally introduced him, saying, "Grandma, this is my husband, Mu Qiancheng."
"Qiancheng, this is my Grandma!"
"Hello, Grandma!" Mu Qiancheng greeted Grandma Shangguan and said, "Thank you, Grandma, for coming to see Xue’er."
Due to Jiang Xue’s introduction, the topic was successfully changed, and Grandma Shangguan began chatting with Mu Qiancheng. After talking for a while, Jiang Xue noticed it was almost one o’clock, so she said to her, "Grandma, it’s very late, do you want to rest first and continue any conversation tomorrow?"
