Chapter 462: Family Dinner IV
“Good news?” Lin Ran exclaimed in surprise when she heard this and glanced at Xu Nuan in suspicion.
They presumed that Grandmother Han had invited them to talk about Han Zihao and Xu Nuan’s relationship progress and wanted to get to know about their families before tying a knot with Xu Nuan.
They’re already living together even though they haven’t gotten married yet. Although they were against her idea to live together with Han Zihao, Xu Nuan never cared about their opinions as her parents and did whatever she liked.
She and Gu Zhang were upset with Xu Nuan since she caused so much harm to their family by suing Xingren and it has caused so much damage to their family’s reputation.
Lin Ran tried to understand Xu Nuan and felt bad for her as well because of the way they treated her in the past and wanted to like her. But after she sued Xingren, she couldn’t understand why she couldn’t let go of the past and had to humiliate them in front of the world.
They even pleaded to her to save their faces by leaving this matter as it is and they will send Xingren abroad to study and reflect on her actions.
However, Xu Nuan and Han Zihao still sued Xingren for attempting to kill Xu Nuan and made up many allegations against her. This not only ruined Xingren’s life and career but also humiliated their whole family in front of the world and turned them into a big laughingstock.
.....
She did take back her case later but her rash actions already caused a big harm to them and their prestige as the Gu family in society and their peers was shattered.
Even though Lin Ran dislikes Xu Nuan, who is supposedly their daughter but failed to maintain peace in the household and be filial to them, she was also excited about her relationship with Han Zihao because it’s the great Han family after all.
Who would not be happy to become in-laws with the great Han family, who sits at the top of the hierarchy in the business world?

Grandmother Han ignored Lin Ran’s curious gaze and smiled at Grandfather Gu before saying, ” Yes. Mr. Gu, I am sure you would be as excited and happy, just like me if you get to know about the good news.”
Grandfather Gu glanced at Xu Nuan curiously and attentively listened to Grandmother Han’s words. “Now you’re making me curious to know about the good news.”
” Mr. Gu, You should start exercising from now on to make yourself strong and healthy. Because a small guest is soon coming into our lives, who is going to make us all busy yet happier. I am sure your back will ache if you carry it in your arms the whole day.”
“What...what do you mean by it?” Grandmother Gu glanced at Xu Nuan in confusion. He could sense something big was going on here and could also think of something but wasn’t sure if his mind was rolling in the right direction.
‘No. How can that be?’ He dissipated all the thoughts from his head as he was aware that Xu Nuan has no plans to get married and make a family so soon.
More than that, she is just in college right now and has started a new company recently. There is no way he was thinking about the right thing.
However, Grandmother Han didn’t stretch it further and her next words cleared all of his confusion.
” You must have guessed it by now. Yes. Mr. Gu, your granddaughter Xu Nuan is pregnant. She is going to be a Mom.” Grandmother Han laughed in excitement and stood up to give a hug to Xu Nuan.
She cannot imagine that she is going to become a Great-grandmother now. Even though she already knows about it, she still couldn’t contain her happiness and excitement.
Her useless grandson finally did a great thing. A year ago, she used to think that her grandsons are going to remain single forever and she will never get the chance to see the faces of her great-grandchildren and will die while waiting for them only.
However, thanks to Xu Nuan, she found another hope to live longer and healthier.
Grandfather Gu was speechless and stared at Grandmother Han in a daze and watched her hugging Xu Nuan.
Xu Nuan smiled at Grandfather Gu who was shocked and confused, she held his hand and said, ” It’s all true Grandpa. You’re now going to become Great-Grandfather. I am 15 weeks pregnant now.”
When the old man heard her words, it was when reality hit him and his eyes turned red and teary.
He couldn’t believe that his little girl is going to become a mother now. He feels the most regretful towards Xu Nuan for letting her be wrongly treated by her parents and not doing something for her.
However, this little girl is going to make her own family now and will also have children.
“I....I am so happy for you. I can’t believe it’s real. My little Nuan Nuan is going to become a mother now.” He covered his face and rubbed his watery eyes to not cry in front of everyone.
” Nuan Nuan, if your grandmother would be here, she would have been so elated to hear this news. I still can’t believe I am going to become a Great-Grandfather now. Hoho.” The old man cried and laughed in happiness at the same time while wiping his tears with tissue paper.
Xu Nuan’s heart melted to see him control his emotions. Seeing him crying like this, she couldn’t help but think of her Grandfather, who would also cry like this if he finds out his Granddaughter Jiang Yue is pregnant and going to become a mom.
However, rather than getting happy news like this, he had to watch the unfortunate news of his young Granddaughter passing away in an accident. How heartbreaking it must be for him to handle that news at this age.
“Pregnant?” While Grandfather Gu was sobbing in happiness, Lin Ran was shocked to find out about it.
Although she doesn’t like Xu Nuan that much, she is still her mother and has given birth to her. So she was happy upon finding out that her daughter is going to become a mother.
However, she isn’t married to Han Zihao yet, and becoming an unmarried mother is not looked upon favorably in society.
This is the thing she was fearing when she decided to live together with Han Zihao in his apartment.
Everyone’s eyes turned to Lin Ran’s shocked and not-so-pleased reaction. It was such happy news and rather than congratulating Xu Nuan and Han Zihao, she was making a depressing and disappointed face as if the kids had committed some kind of crime.
Cheng Zixing, Han Zihao’s mother who was quiet all this time, couldn’t help but speak out at the cold reaction of Lin Ran, “Mrs. Gu, is there any problem? Are you not happy with the news that you’re going to become a grandmother?”
Lin Ran pursed her lips when she was confronted like that in front of everyone and felt that Cheng Zixing was trying to humiliate her by putting her on the spot in front of everyone.
“Haha. How can that be possible? Of course, I am happy. She is my daughter after all.” Lin Ran bite her tongue and showed her brightest smile to everyone.
“However, she is still young and they aren’t even married yet. Don’t you think it’s a bit inappropriate to be happy about this news rather than find a solution? If everyone finds out about it, what will they say about it?”
” I am not orthodox but society still doesn’t look favorably upon an unmarried mother. That’s why I was against the idea of them living together before getting married. What if something goes wrong then who will marry her in the future?”
“Since she is our daughter, who will worry about her other than us?” She said, emphasizing that they’re her parents and even though Han Zihao’s family is close to Xu Nuan, it doesn’t erase the fact that they share the same bloodline and are bound to be a family.
She has every right to worry about her and was proud that she raised a valid point in front of everyone.
Han Zihao’s face turned gloomy when he heard the uncalled opinion of Lin Ran. He was so happy that he is going to become a father and Xu Nuan is going to give birth to their child.
However, Lin Ran’s words sounded to them as if she was calling their child a mistake and was looking down on their happiness by dragging social opinions into the discussion.
” What do you mean who is going to marry her? Of course, I am going to marry her!”
