Chapter 67: Meeting Grandpa and Grandma

  The next day, Ruan Lingfeng called his parents and told them that he had found Jiang Xue'er and brought back two children. Ruan's mother was overjoyed to suddenly become a grandmother, especially since just the other day she was urging Ruan Lingfeng to marry into a wealthy family, which made him so angry that he didn't even want to go home. For five years, they thought Jiang Xue'er was dead, and for the sake of the Ruan family's last bit of dignity, they couldn't let their son spend his whole life unmarried because of Jiang Xue'er.

  Ran Lingfeng's stubborn heart was indeed for the sake of marriage, and he had been quarreling with his family all along, making him unable to have a peaceful day. Every day, he went to work with a bitter face, and it was precisely because of this.

  That morning, Xiaonan and Xiaoqi were eating breakfast when they heard that they would be going to see their grandparents. They were overjoyed, with Xiaonan clamoring, "Mommy, are we really going to see Grandma and Grandpa later? Then you have to take me to buy a new set of clothes."

  "It's just that, and also new shoes." Xiao Qi followed suit.

  "Jiang Xue'er really has no way with them, it's all because they're usually spoiled. 'Alright, alright, wait till your dad comes home and let him take you guys out, okay?'"

  "Hurray, hurray! I have new clothes and new shoes to wear!" Little Nan held a piece of cake in her hand and jumped up and down excitedly.

  At this time, the doorbell rang, Xiao Qi slipped down from his chair and ran while saying: "It must be Father who has come."

  "Ling Feng, you're here." Jiang Xue'er left the dinner table and looked at Ruan Lingfeng as he walked in, asking.

  Xiao Nan's face was covered with cake as she ran over and called out: "Daddy."

  "Oh, Xiaonan." Xiaonan rushed up and bumped into Ran Lingfeng's thigh. Ran Lingfeng picked her up with a bit of force.

  "Have you had breakfast?" Jiang Xue'er wiped the cake off Xiao Nan's face with a cloth, and Ruan Lingfeng carried Xiao Nan to the living room.

  "Not yet, I was thinking of taking you all out to eat together." Ruan Lingfeng sat on the sofa and put down Xiao Nan. Xiao Qi ran over and said: "Dad, why didn't you say so earlier? We've already eaten."

  "Yes, mom woke us up early and said we have to get up early because we're going to see grandpa and grandma later." Xiang Nan complained to Ran Ling Feng again about Jiang Xue Er. In the morning, Xiang Nan and Xiao Qi were not fully awake yet when Jiang Xue Er dragged them out of bed to do chores and make breakfast. She said they had to get up early because they're going to see their grandparents today, and threatened that if they didn't get up, she wouldn't take them along. The two brothers have always said that the worst mother in the world is theirs.

  "Mummy even threatened us, saying that if we didn't get out of bed, she wouldn't give us food to eat and wouldn't take us to see our grandparents."

  Ran Lingfeng saw the two brothers singing and harmonizing, and burst out laughing. Jiang Xue'er stood aside, unable to listen anymore, her teeth itching as she walked over and said: "You two stinky brats, eating my food, drinking my wine, yet slandering me - I'm the one who raised you two this big!"

  "Dad, dad, mom is originally a bad mother, you see, she looks so scary when she's angry. Little Nan, run quickly." Xiao Qi said while pulling Little Nan's hand and running away. Jiang Xue'er didn't catch them and chased after them around the room. Little Nan and Xiao Qi threw things left and right, making the whole room a mess. But Ran Lingfeng thought that the three of them were quite lovely, Jiang Xue'er was the mother of two kids, but she was still like a kid herself.

  Xiao Nan panted and ran to Ruan Lingfeng's side, saying: "Dad, quickly... help me catch Mommy, or else I, your son, will suffocate."

  "Dad...Daddy, I...I'm going to collapse." Xiao Qi was chased by Jiang Xue'er and scared into running to Ran Lingfeng's side.

  Ran Lingfeng tightly hugged Jiang Xue'er and said, "Alright, stop chasing now. Look at how exhausted you are." Ran Lingfeng wiped away Jiang Xue'er's sweat, gazing at her with tender affection.

  "You... two... come here." Jiang Xue'er pointed at Xiao Nan and Xiao Qi, commanding them to walk over.

  "I'm not going over there, only an idiot would go over there and get hit by you." said Xiao Nan from behind the chair.

  "Dad, Mom is so fierce, how can you stand it? My brother and I are almost unbearable." Little Qi also said with a sigh.

  Ran Ling saw how adorable the two of them were, and their relationship was so good, just like real brothers. He looked at his lovely wife and said: "Xue Er, they are still kids, don't be too strict with them, don't scare them off, it's not good for the kids."

  "Alright, for the sake of your father, I'll let you off this once. You two clean up your room within five minutes, if it's not done on time, don't even think about going out."

  The two brothers heard this and their mouths were raised high, Xiao Nan also said: "Mom is really poisonous." Then the two brothers started whispering to each other.

  Jiang Xue'er saw that the two of them must be up to something, and shouted: "What are you two muttering about? Hurry up and go clean up!"

  The two brothers stood up with their hands on their waists and said, "We brothers don't plan to clean up or go out, so mom can clean the room herself."

  "You... you two, are really thinking of rebelling. It seems that not collecting rent is not an option." Jiang Xue'er was about to jump up fiercely, but was held back by Ruan Lingfeng, "Ruan Lingfeng, let me go."

  "Hurray... hurray... hurray! Long live Father, long live Father..." Xiang and Qi jumped up excitedly.

  Ran Ling Feng said sternly, "You two shouldn't be too pleased with yourselves. Listen to Mom and clean up the room properly, or else I'll let your mom come over and spank you."

  The two of them were discussing that if Mom dared to hit them, they would not go see Grandpa and Grandma. Unexpectedly, their old dad was also on the side of their mom, it seemed like there was no way out, so the two brothers had no choice but to obediently clean up their room.

  Ran Lingfeng saw the two rascals cleaning the room and started bullying Jiang Xue'er. In broad daylight, in the living room, he kissed Jiang Xue'er. Jiang Xue'er tried to push Ran Lingfeng away but couldn't, so he kissed her once more before leaving her lips. Jiang Xue'er pushed Ran Lingfeng away, looking a bit shy and said: "It's not good if Zi sees us later."

  Ran Lingfeng said with a bit of jest: "What's wrong with that? If they see their father kissing their mother, what's the big deal? It's just right for them to learn from it."

  At this time, Xiao Qi suddenly heard two words and blurted out a sentence: "What are you learning?"

  Jiang Xue'er's face suddenly turned bright red, and Rang Lingfeng smiled slyly: "You little stinker, with a curiosity that strong, it seems you won't be able to stay for long. Wait till you grow up, then you'll know."

  "The room is ready, bad mommy, can we go out now?" Xiang Nan ran to Ran Ling Feng's side and climbed up to say: "Daddy will buy us new clothes and new shoes."

  "Alright, let's go, we're off." Ruan Lingfeng picked up Xiao Nan, elegantly holding him in his arms, while Jiang Xue'er held onto Xiao Qi, and the family of four set out.

  Ran Jinchen and his wife were particularly happy that day, rummaging through their closet for over an hour before finding a decent-looking outfit. Perhaps it had been too long since they last went out or entertained guests, and there hadn't been any joyful occasions at home in a while, so they hadn't gone shopping for clothes or accessories in a long time. After searching for a long time, they finally found something suitable. Mrs. Ran even instructed the servants to bring back some toys that children play with, and she prepared gifts for Little Qi and Little Nan as well.

  They heard Ran Lingfeng say they would arrive around 10 o'clock, at 9 o'clock, Ran Lingfeng's mother was sitting in the living room, unable to hold back, walking back and forth in the living room, making Ran Jincheng dizzy. Madame Ran walked to the door, waiting for more than an hour, before slowly seeing a familiar Ferrari appear before her eyes.

  Jiang Xue'er and the others had already seen Ran Lingfeng's mother waiting for them at the door when they were in the car. When they arrived at the entrance of their home, Xiao Nan and Xiao Qi opened the car door, Jiang Xue'er also got out of the car and called out to Ran Lingfeng's mother: "Mom."

  Mrs. Ruan found it so hard to hear these words, since the day they got engaged, she hadn't seen Jiang Xue'er again, her tears of joy burst out, and the two hugged each other, Xiao Nan and Xiao Qi called out: "Grandma."

  Mrs. Rong turned around to see two little kids, looking so adorable. As she fondled their heads with a pampering attitude, she felt something was off. Little Qi looked about 8 years old too, how could he have such big grandchildren? Jiang Xue'er had been missing for only 5 years, how could there be children this big? Was it...

  Mrs. Rang was perplexed, and only then did Rang Lingfeng say: "Mom, Xiao Qi and Xiao Nan are very lovely, their relationship is great, and praise Xueer for raising them well over the years."

  "Haha, yes, hurry up, your grandfather is still waiting inside, quickly go in with grandma." Mrs. Ruan smiled slightly suspiciously and pulled the two children into the house.

  All of this, Jiang Xue'er saw very clearly. She had been missing for so long and suddenly appeared with two children. How could she not be suspicious? Ruan Lingfeng also saw Jiang Xue'er's concerns and said: "Mom is not that kind of person. When there is time, I will explain it to mom clearly. Okay, let's stop thinking about it, we're going in."

  Jiang Xue'er nodded and walked in with Rang Lingfeng together.

  Ran Jincheng had already heard their voices, and just as he was about to go out, he saw Mrs. Ran bring in two children. Ran Jincheng walked over and said, "Are these my two precious grandsons?"

  "Grandpa, I'm Rang Lin Qi, just call me Little Qi."

  "Grandpa, I'm Ruan Lin Nan, just call me Little Nan."

  The two brothers started playing with the ball and introducing themselves, making Ruan Jinchen laugh so hard that he couldn't close his mouth. "Great, you guys are really understanding. Look at them, their lips are red and their teeth are white, they can talk as eloquently as Ruan Lingfeng when he was young."

  "Dad." Jiang Xue'er walked in and called out to Ruan Jincheng, although she and Ruan Lingfeng were not officially married yet, it was unclear whether this form of address was appropriate or if they would accept it.

  Ran Jincheng saw Jiang Xue'er, who looked more charming than before and had matured a lot, and was even more beautiful. "Xue'er, it's great that you're back, come over here and sit down."

  Ran Lingfeng and Jiang Xuer sat down on the sofa together, two little kids surrounded Ran Jincheng, Ran Jincheng took a red envelope from the table and said: "This is grandpa's gift for you to meet."

  Xiao Nan and Xiao Qi were overjoyed when they saw the red envelope, "Thank you grandpa."

  "Here, this is a gift and meeting gift from grandma, see if you like it." Xiaonan and Xiaoqi felt that they had made a big profit today, receiving so many things.

  At this time, Ruan Jincheng looked at Jiang Xue'er and said: "Xue'er, where have you been these days? Why didn't you even contact us?"
