Chapter 449
When Nan XiangWan said this, the atmosphere at the scene froze.
Gu Beihuai didn't have much expression anyway, he was already used to the little cub's shocking words.
The others were experiencing this kind of divine logic for the first time, and for a while they didn't know how to respond.
In the distance on the balcony watching the fun, Gong Jin laughed unbridledly, laughing so hard he melted another ice cream.
Finally, Ye Feimei stepped forward and praised without thinking: "That's right! It's all that little squirrel's fault! Blindly fighting with our XiangWan, isn't that asking for death?"
Nan XiangWan nodded vigorously, exactly.
Older Xin's mouth twitched, he patted the stone table: "Ye little tiger, stop interrupting here, why are you butting in when I'm educating my granddaughter? Our Xin family ancestors..."
If it was someone else talking to Ye Feimei like that, she would have slapped them long ago.
But the person in front of her was Old Man Xin, the fearless Ye Feimei was so well-behaved that she retreated to the side without daring to blurt out a word.
This old man is really terrifying!
From the last generation to this generation, any child who grew up in the military headquarters never feared anyone more than him!
So even though Ye Feimei felt sorry for Nan XiangWan, she was still afraid.
Fortunately this was Older Xin’s own granddaughter, he wouldn’t beat her to death.
Older Xin looked at Nan XiangWan again, sizing her up and down with one glance: "Humph! Big deal, come to the yard and not come see me first, go to someone else's house for dinner! I see you don't even remember your own surname! Our Xin family ancestors..."
Nan XiangWan raised her hand: "Grandpa, my surname is Nan."
With one sentence, she made Older Xin shut up completely.
His eyeballs stared out, mouth open then closed again, he couldn't pick up on the conversation for quite a while.
That's right, your surname is Nan.
You're not surnamed Xin...
It was completely seamless with no chance for rebuttal!
The few old men around couldn't help laughing out loud, one even cackling wildly with laughter.
Oh geez!
Looked like Old Man Xin had finally met his match! The “my surname is Nan” rendered him speechless!
Hahaha!
What more could he say? She’s not surnamed Xin, what could he rebuke her for?
Gong Jin on the balcony almost laughed to death, laughing nonstop while holding his stomach.
He felt so lucky that he didn't go down to watch the drama when it happened, staying on this balcony let him laugh out loud freely without others stopping him.
Damn, Nan XiangWan's single trip brought such huge shocks to the family!
Her mood swinging up and down like a roller coaster!
Gu Beihuai speechlessly shook his head, his mother had definitely gone nuts. He left for his room to rest without caring anymore.
Ye Feimei was still excited in the living room, hugging Gu Bo Yi for a while before jumping up again and taking out her phone to start editing WeChat Moments posts.
She posted more than ten in a row!
The contents were pretty similar—showing off that her future daughter-in-law had come over to her house.
She even included photos!
...
Nan XiangWan didn't struggle and let Older Xin carry her all the way back like a chicken.
Old Man Xin's home was in the building opposite Gu Beihuai's house on the first floor, no need to climb any stairs.
It was also a 2-bedroom, 1-living room unit with a small courtyard, not too big, but just right for an old person living alone.
The compound provided housekeeping that came daily to clean and cook meals, so these retired veterans residing here didn't need to worry about food or care, and had people taking care of them.
Usually the old folks didn't have much in the way of hobbies—those like Older Xin simply ate, slept, exercised, and played chess every day.
Older Xin's house, like Ye Feimei's, was full of old-style rifles, military knives and other memorabilia, all somewhat aged but polished very clean.
When Nan XiangWan was dumped inside unceremoniously, she stared in amazement at the wall of guns.
Old Man Xin was speechless at this point—being carried back like this yet not crying or throwing a tantrum, but instead lighting up at the sight of his guns!
His granddaughter really was an odd one.
But Old Man Xin still kept up the grandfatherly demeanor, pointing severely to the innermost room: "Your mom's old room! Go sleep! No staying up late! If you make noise and disturb me at night, I'll break your legs!"
He knew youngsters nowadays slept late, but he insisted on early bedtime.
Unexpectedly, Nan XiangWan didn't care one bit. She patted her butt and headed straight for the bedroom, curious to see her mother's childhood room for the first time!
A 1.2m bed with big red floral bedsheets from decades ago, old but washed very clean, faded white in some places.
On the walls hung various photos along with some weapons and blades.
These were all glimpses into her mother's past!
Nan XiangWan quietly looked on, helping to recall memories, also getting to see what her young mother looked like—
Fierce in military garb!
Super badass!
Old Man Xin walked over again at some point, remote control in hand: "Do you want the AC on tonight? Does your family leave the AC on all day at home? This is the remote, this is the power button, this adjusts the temperature..."
Nan XiangWan: "I know how to use it, grandpa."
