Chapter 174
Going to her own home to see her parents wasn't nerve-wracking, but when it was time to return to the old mansion to see Grandfather Song and Grandmother Song, Zhong Ruanxing started to get nervous.
Song JinXing also noticed: "Why are you more nervous than me?"
Zhong Ruanxing rolled her eyes at him: "Isn't that obvious? Of course I'm more nervous than you!"
Song JinXing raised his eyebrows: "But I'm in this body now, even if something unexpected happens, I'll be the one to deal with it."
Zhong Ruanxing: "..." She reacted: "What you said does make some sense."
Song JinXing smiled and took her hand: "Don't worry, no matter what kind of situation we face later, I can handle it well. I will definitely make your first appearance in the old mansion amazing to everyone, okay?"
Zhong Ruanxing laughed at him, feeling shy: "You don't have to exaggerate to amaze everyone."
Song JinXing nodded: "I know."
Zhong Ruanxing couldn't help but pinch his face: "So obedient."
Song JinXing looked at her helplessly: "You're making me look frivolous."
Zhong Ruanxing winked: "Do you like a frivolous tycoon?"
Song JinXing's eyes twitched as he quickly reached out to push away that expressive face of his: "Very creepy, looking at it again will give me nightmares tonight."
Zhong Ruanxing laughed hard.
After joking around, it did relieve a lot of the nervous feelings.
When they arrived at the old mansion, Zhu Auntie, who had been taking care of Old Master Song and Old Madam Song for many years, was standing at the door. Seeing the car drive into the yard and stop, she hurriedly walked over.
Zhong Ruanxing got out of the car first, and as previously agreed, pulled open the car door for Song JinXing. Zhu Auntie only took one look at the beautiful woman getting out of the car before immediately lowering her eyes respectfully. She took the gifts from Zhong Ruanxing's hands and led them inside.
Old Madam Song was supposed to be waiting in the living room, but she was too eager to see her grandson's wife. Zhu Auntie had just led the two of them through the cloister when she saw Old Madam Song had already walked to the rockery in the garden and was looking this way.
Old Madam Song quickly said, "We'll like them, we'll like them! I already like you just for coming! Come, sit next to Grandma!"
After Song JinXing put down the gifts, he went to sit next to Grandma. As soon as he sat down, Old Madam Song grabbed his hand and stuffed a bracelet to him: "Grandma also prepared a gift to meet you. This was passed down from my mother. I originally planned to pass it to my daughter-in-law, but my son has too many children. There's only one bracelet, so giving it to any one of them would show favoritism. So I kept it myself. Now I'm giving it to you!"
Showing favoritism to a daughter-in-law is fine, but showing favoritism to a grandson's wife is not, hmm!
Song JinXing spoke softly: "Grandma, this is too valuable."
"That's why it should be given to you!" Old Madam Song insisted on taking his hand and putting on the jade bracelet. "Look, it fits perfectly! How beautiful!"
Song JinXing raised his wrist and took a look. The translucent and precious jade bracelet set off his fair wrist like snow, and it did suit Zhong Ruanxing very well.
So he did not decline further. His smile was sincere and gentle: "Thank you Grandma, I will cherish it."
Zhong Ruanxing watched from the side, feeling that her previous worries were redundant. Gaining the liking and recognition of Grandpa and Grandma also made her feel genuinely happy and relaxed. It seems that those dog-blood TV drama storylines that she saw before won't happen.
The few of them sat in the living room. Grandma Song held her grandson's wife's hand and asked some caring questions that elders would ask.
"How did you and JinXing meet?"
"When are you planning to get married?"
"I don't know when your parents will be free. I feel that your Grandpa and I as the elders from the groom's side should also meet your parents to discuss your wedding plans."
Zhong Ruanxing: "............"
Grandma! That seems a little rushed, doesn't it? Others might think your grandson has trouble finding a wife!
Old Master Song also seemed to find it unbearable. He stood up and said to Zhong Ruanxing, "Come with me to the study."
Zhong Ruanxing looked at Song JinXing. He gave her a reassuring look, so she stood up, ready to follow along.
But Old Master Song turned around and looked at Song JinXing, "You come too."
