My Evil Genius Wife

Chapter 51: This girl can’t change.

Xu Nuan pursed her lips and a frown appeared on her face hearing the old man’s weak voice. She never called Gu Zhang and Lin Ran as father and mother because she doesn’t consider them as parents.

They are nothing more than a stranger to her. Moreover, they haven’t treated Xu Nuan the way that a parent treats their children.

So why would she treat them as parents and respect them? One needs to be able to be respected and in her view, they have lost all the respect the day they brought Xu Nuan to Gu family and made her feel outcast in her own house.

However, can she do the same as she did to them to this old man? In Xu Nuan’s memory, he has always been a respected figure and has never treated her like an outcast like others. The only mistake he made was, to bring her back to the family against everyone’s will and made her feel more miserable because he couldn’t even protect her.

Xu Nuan bit her lower lips and sighed softly before saying, ” Grandpa, I am...fine now. It’s been two months since the accident, so I am better than before. ” She said hesitantly.

The man was silent hearing her words. She has never called him as Grandpa, she always used to call him Grandfather and was much more polite to him. She never treated him as her real Grandfather but he was just a respected figure for him.

Moreover, he was feeling bad that he didn’t even know that she got into the accident and it’s been two months since that happened. If it hasn’t been slipped out of Lin Ran’s mouth then he might not have found this anytime soon.

.....

It was his fault that he didn’t keep a check on her despite knowing how she was being treated in that house.

He sighed and asked, ” How are you doing these days? I heard that you moved out of the house. How is your new place?”

When Lin Ran visited them with Gu Xingren, she said that Xu Nuan has become too willful these days. She has become a rowdy brat who doesn’t respect anyone.

She even forced her dad to give her a condo that was reserved for Xingren and treated her badly. However, he knows Lin Ran’s personality that she tends to twist the words and exaggerate it to the extent that the other person will be left shocked.

However, thinking that Xu Nuan has moved out, it was a good thing. She wasn’t love in the family anyway, this was the least they could do for her. However, how can she be able to bear the expenses? Because after hearing Lin Ran’s words, it doesn’t seem like they have any intention to help her in any way.

She wasn’t studying in a university like Xingren, so it would be hard for her to get a reputed job later. What is she going to do in the future?

Such questions were bothering him. However, he was hesitating to ask these questions to her.

” Grandpa, I am doing fine and my new place is very comfortable and safe. You don’t need to worry about me. You called me for something?” She asked politely.

Xu Nuan felt a little uncomfortable as she started to remember about her Grandfather. Though they never see eye to eye, she can’t deny the fact that she misses him. He was an old cranky man but to her, he was a grandpa who has given him the warmth that she can’t expect from her aunt or uncle after her parents passed away.

It’s been years since she has seen him or maybe she can never see him as Jiang Yue.

She was pulled out of her thoughts when the Old man hesitantly said, “Erm... I called you to invite you to the Banquet which is being held next week. It was your grandmother and my golden jubilee anniversary celebration banquet. I don’t want to celebrate it but Xingren insisted on doing it. So there will be a banquet next week. I will send you the details of the venue, so do come. You can bring your friends as well if you want.”

Xu Nuan raised her brows hearing his words. “Oh! It’s indeed an event to celebrate. I...will come. ” She said hesitantly.

However, she regretted it the very next moment. She doesn’t want to interact with Gu Family but going there means taking headache pills.

Sigh.

” What are you talking about? What brings friends? She doesn’t even have friends other than those orphanage kids. What if she brings them? You’re too much.”

” What are you doing? Xu Nuan might hear you. Just shut up.”

Xu Nuan raised her brows as she understood that the other voice might be her ‘lovely grandmother’.

Zou Ling is just like Lin Ran and her son Gu Zhang. She never considered Xu Nuan as her granddaughter and always treated her as garbage who had been picked from the orphanage. She looks down on her for being raised at the orphanage and thinks that she can’t match the exquisiteness of Xingren.

” Nuan Nuan, don’t listen to your Grandma’s words. You have to come to the banquet, okay?”

She nodded and said, ” Yes. Don’t worry. I don’t listen to her words, so I don’t mind her attitude at all.”

Old Man felt a little strange the way she spoke. Her voice didn’t carry the gentleness like before but why did it feel like that she was being sarcastic?

After exchanging the formalities, she hung up the phone. She sighed heavily and looked up.

She was startled seeing the two men staring at her with complicated expressions.

She raised her brows when Han Zihao asked, ” Was it your family?”

She nodded and told him about the banquet being held the next week.

He stared at her trying to read her expressions.

” You..really wanna go?” he asked. He has seen the relationship between Xu Nuan and her family. Going to a banquet means going into the den of enemies.

She shook her head and said, ” I don’t. But I don’t have a choice either. I can’t break that Old Man’s heart. Ah, I can’t believe that I can be so nice and considerate. The guy who will marry me will be the luckiest.” She patted her face and complimented herself shamelessly.

Han Liang who was trying to understand her and was in the middle of changing his perception about her looked at her and shook his head.

‘This girl can’t change. Never. Not at all.’
