Chapter 744 “Don’t Mess with the Father-in-law (2)”
“Great grandmother, you are so young, I almost thought you were my grandmother instead.”
Blooming into a huge smile, Jun Tian Yue became overjoyed at the flattery: “Your tongue is so sweet. Great-grandmother here heard you’re hurt? Don’t worry, I won’t let anyone harm you again while you’re here in the Misty Fairy House, especially from your father.”
Blinking his cute blue eyes, Bai Xiachen felt rather sorry for his old man. Baddie Father didn’t even meet Great-grandmother yet and he’s already offended her? Looks like he won’t be able to get in through the door at this rate.
“Ahumph!” Chief Wu Wei makes several coughs, hoping his wife would introduce himself.
Unfortunately for the desperate grandfather, Jun Tian Yue could care less what her husband wanted at the moment. Focusing on the kid entirely: “This one here isn’t any good either, you mustn’t pay attention to him less he sells you away.”
Nodding in befuddled confusion: “Okay Great-grandmother.”
In that second the chief could only be called distraught. I know I’m wrong already, why do they all still think I’m going to give my own loved ones to that whatever goddess?
“Yan’er….”
Although Yun Feng (father) held mixed feelings about the one who abducted his daughter – mostly anger – he’s finding this cuddly little thing quite likable despite not knowing the exact reason. Therefore, his demeanor became very awkward after turning to Bai Yan for help due to being afraid of harming the kid.
“Son, come here.” Beckoning her boy over with a wave, the mother was all smiles as she spoke, “This here is your grandfather, my father, hurry and go to his side and greet him.”
“Grandpa!” Sparkling in his eyes like the starry stars of the night sky, the kid didn’t have as much worry as the adults and completely went in for a full armed hug around the man’s waist. “Grandpa, I finally have a grandfather. Now no one will try to sell me again using that title.”
Startled and confused by the strange form of language, the man hurries to ask: “What’s going on? Why would anyone try to sell you?”
“After Mother’s adopted mother passed away, the adopted father repeatedly picked on her. Not only did they try to sell Mother to some dirty old man, they also tried to use the claim as our elders to try to sell me to the Flower Brothel. Thankfully the establishment belonged to Mother so the bad people couldn’t succeed in their schemes.”
It’s unsure if its intentional or unintentional, but when explaining the background story, Bai Xiachen would on occasion sneak a peek at the chief who was listening in on everything. But who was the boy trying to kid? He’s definitely doing it on purpose!
That’s right, in Bai Xiachen’s view, it’s all these people from the Misty Fairy House who caused everything as the source: Grandmother (Bai Ning) wouldn’t be missing, Bai Yan wouldn’t have had to endure all those years of suffering at the adopted family’s home, nor would his grandfather here lose his sanity for decades.
So, as the good son that he was, it’s only normal for the child to get some payback now that the occasion has arrived. Issue was, he immediately regretted the plan after seeing the horrified expression on his grandfather’s face.
Oh crap, Grandpa is innocent, he knew nothing and even lost his mind for decades. What to do, I messed up….
“Wu Wei!” Jun Tian Yue directly points her accusing finger at her own husband: “This is all your fault! If you hadn’t been so cowardly and listened to me then none of those things would’ve happened! So what if that goddess is powerful? The fact that she can only send her clone over here means she’s unable to come to our world! But you….”
