Chapter 460: Family Dinner II
” Don’t tell me....Grandma, Did you invite the Gu family over for dinner?” Han Zihao was baffled upon figuring out that the voices coming from the dining room belonged to none other than Grandfather Gu and Xu Nuan’s father, Gu Zhang.
Grandmother Han was satisfied by Han Zihao’s stunned reaction and patted his arm teasingly, ” Shocked, right?”
“But there is nothing to be shocked about. This is something I should have done long ago. It was my fault for thinking that you are old enough to deal with such formalities.” Grandmother Han commented sarcastically while shaking her head in helplessness
Han Zihao should have done this long ago but he postponed such an important matter until now. If she hadn’t taken this step, don’t know until when he was planning to keep his relationship with Xu Nuan casual.
“Why did you do that? You could have at least asked me before inviting them over!” Han Zihao questioned while feeling helpless in front of his grandmother’s stubbornness.
After the drama with Gu Xingren, Xu Nuan is not in contact with the Gu family anymore. She wants to stay away from that problematic family as much as possible.
When they are not in contact with the Gu family for a while, how can his grandmother suddenly invite them over for dinner?
.....
Although Grandfather Gu used to call her a few times in the past, these days he hasn’t been calling her either. Maybe because he is too embarrassed to face her.
Despite all the schemes of Gu Xingren, Xu Nuan took back the complaint against her for the sake of the Gu family’s prestige and reputation in the public.
It was not only affecting the peace of the family but also the company’s standing in the market as well. Moreover, she doesn’t want to see Grandfather Gu hurt because of this matter. He is already getting old and the stress from this incident caused him to fall sick as well.
That’s why she took back the case while teaching a harsh lesson to Gu Xingren that she is not the same Xu Nuan anymore.
She will not sit back and put up with her childishness. If she dared to mess with her again, she will make sure that Xingren will end up in jail.

Grandma Han eyed Han Zihao and let out an exasperated sigh at his question. ” I didn’t want to do this either but I had no choice. Han Zihao, what did I tell you earlier?’
” Xu Nuan is pregnant now and it’s such big and joyous news. How come you still haven’t informed her family yet? Good or bad, they are still her parents. Don’t you think it’s so irresponsible on your part?” She lectured him.
Even if there is bad blood between Xu Nuan and her family, it doesn’t change the fact that they’re still Xu Nuan’s family. How can he not inform them about this news?
She is aware of the estranged relationship of Xu Nuan with her parents, they’re still her family and have every right to know such big news about their daughter.
When the doctor announced that Xu Nuan is pregnant, Grandmother Han was so happy and asked Han Zihao if he needed her to talk to Xu Nuan’s parents and family. It’s the elder’s responsibility to handle such formalities after all.
At that time, he told her that he will do that himself and will take Xu Nuan to Gu Villa in a few days.
However, she was shocked when she found out a few days ago that Han Zihao and Xu Nuan still haven’t spoken to her family about this matter.
She has already completed the stage of her first trimester and they still haven’t informed them about this news. How irresponsible!
As the eldest and the most responsible member of the Han Family, she decided to take things into her hands and invite the Gu family over for dinner.
There are a few things that she needs to discuss with them about Han Zihao and Xu Nuan’s future.
Since they’re going to be in-laws soon, she needs to form a bond between the two families, even though she doesn’t like them even a bit.
She likes Xu Nuan but not her family. She was shocked when she found out that they were treating their own blood unfairly and labeled her as their adopted daughter.
Even animals show their love and care for their children. How can the Gu family be so hard-hearted to treat their daughter so poorly?
It wasn’t their fault that Xu Nuan was swapped with Xingren when they were young. However, it was their fault that they failed to become good parents, to both Xu Nuan and Xingren who ran astray because of their overly pampering attitude toward her and treating Xu Nuan, the real heiress of the Gu Family as a piece of dirt.
They could have prevented the worse outcomes if they had treated both daughters fairly and made them stay together as sisters and feel loved. But their discrimination only made things worse, creating a rift between the two girls, and causing them to feel hostile against each other.
That’s why she condemned Xu Nuan’s parents more than Gu Xingren for the wrong deeds that she did against Xu Nuan because it was the elders who shaped her mindset like that. Toxic and full of jealousy.

Upon hearing Grandmother Han’s words, Han Zihao fell into deep thought and realized that she was right. Even though it’s Jiang Yue and not Xu Nuan, to the world she is still Xu Nuan and no one can change the fact that she is the daughter of the Gu Family.
As Xu Nuan’s family, he should have informed them about it. How can he forget about such a crucial matter?
” Oh! Brother, why are you so late? We all were waiting for you at the dining table to have dinner together.” Han Liang was surprised to see Han Zihao who was standing outside the dining room and standing together with Grandmother Han.
He came outside because he left his phone in the car and wanted to bring it along with him. He wasn’t expecting that he will find Han Zihao standing outside.
” We were just coming. Why are you so nosy anyway? Just go the way you were going!” Grandmother Han slapped Han Liang on his arm and pushed him away from the way and pushed Han Zihao to go inside and not let everyone wait for him for long.
” Ouch! Grandma, are you trying to kill me? What if I had tripped on my steps and fallen on my face and gotten hurt? Do you know my face value? Are you trying to ruin my career?” Han Liang complained dramatically to Grandmother Han.
” Hah! Career, my foot. I don’t understand what those young girls see in you. It cannot be the looks. Because you’re just average at the most.” She commented, causing him to look at her in bafflement.
“GRANDMA....HOW CAN YOU SAY SUCH A HURTFUL THING TO ME? I AM AVERAGE?? YOU SHOULD GET YOUR EYES CHECKED BY A SPECIALIST.” He scoffed as he couldn’t believe that she just called him just average.
Grandmother Han didn’t stay longer with him to bicker and went inside with Han Zihao, leaving Han Liang alone in the hallway to wonder, how can she call his heavenly looks average.
