Chapter 59 - Guest
Princess is Glamorous in Modern Day
The chauffeur, who was driving skillfully, subconsciously trembled when he saw the car plate. His hand, which was holding the steering wheel, was sweating as he hurriedly slowed the car.
Jun Shiling glanced at the car plate number. Jun Yin, who was beside him, was fidgeting around. He couldnât wait to get out of the car and find his great-grandfather.
âWe have a guest today, so behave yourself,â Jun Shiling warned Jun Yin in a low voice.
âOkay, Daddy.â Xiao Bao withdrew his head from the window and answered obediently.
âYoung Master, Madam.â Uncle Liu had been waiting at the door for a long time.
Xiao Bao held Xia Wanyuanâs hand in one hand and Jun Shilingâs hand in the other as they walked over. The cold Jun Shiling, the peerless Xia Wanyuan, and the red-lipped and white-toothed little dumpling were truly a harmonious and perfect family.
Uncle Liu looked at them and his eyes were filled with smiles.
âUncle Liu!ââ Grandpa Liu!â
âOld Master is inside. Some of his comrades are here today too,â Uncle Liu said as he led Jun Shiling in.
The fragrance of tea lingered in the courtyard. The old master sat under the sycamore tree with three hale and hearty elders sitting beside him.
âGreat-grandfather!â
When Xiao Bao saw the Old Master, he instantly forgot Jun Shilingâs instructions and ran to him.
âOh, my sweetheart.â The old man was so happy when he saw Xiao Bao that his beard curled up.
âIs this your precious great-grandson?â When the person beside the old man saw Xiao Baoâs fair and tender appearance, he immediately liked this younger generation.
âCome, this is your Grandpa Wang, Grandpa Bo, and Grandpa Mu.â The old man patted Xiao Baoâs head, signaling him to greet them.
âGrandpa Wang, Grandpa Bo, Grandpa Mu.â Xiao Bao poked his head out of the old manâs arms and called out to the benevolent old men.
âHow obedient.â The few elders looked at the old man enviously. They were all of the same age but he already had such an adorable great-grandson. Even until now, they had yet to find their own granddaughter-in-law.
âThis is my grandson, my granddaughter-in-law.â
Ever since Old Master Jun abdicated five years ago, he had rarely interacted with the outside world. His old comrades were usually busy too. It had only been a year since they had slowly stepped down from their important positions. They could finally gather together today.
âThis grandson of yours is amazing.â The few elders looked at Jun Shiling in approval. This Jun familyâs younger generation was indeed outstanding. The industry chain touched on all aspects and had a decisive impact on the entire countryâs economy.
From the moment she entered the house, Xia Wanyuan had noticed the few plainly dressed elders.
From them, Xia Wanyuan could feel the familiar aura of a leader. Unlike Jun Shiling, they were calm and reserved, having been in the political world for a long time.
While Xia Wanyuan was sizing them up, the few old men also noticed Xia Wanyuan, who was beside Jun Shiling.
To people like them who had been in the political world for their entire lives, Xia Wanyuanâs beauty was nothing special.
On the other hand, Xia Wanyuanâs clean and composed aura made their eyes light up.
A girl this age could have such a bearing and her aura was restrained, but standing beside Jun Shiling, who had a strong aura, she was not inferior at all. Instead, she seemed to be on par with him.
âXiao Jun, not only do you have good taste in business, but you also have such good taste in finding a wife,â Old Master Mu said to Jun Shiling half-jokingly and half-seriously.
If those brats in my family were half as outstanding as Jun Shiling, I wouldnât have to worry.
âUncle Mu, youâre too kind.â
Jun Shiling glanced at Xia Wanyuan but did not retort. Instead, he agreed with Old Master Mu.
It had been a long time since the old master had seen his comrades. After Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan had lunch, they brought Xiao Bao back to the manor, leaving the time for the few old masters.
âOld Jun, which family raised this granddaughter-in-law of yours? What a great bearing. Iâll go to this house tomorrow to find a fiancée for my grandson.â
Hearing Old Master Muâs words, Old Master Jun recalled the family who had raised Xia Wanyuan and couldnât help but laugh.
âMy granddaughter-in-law is a girl from an ordinary family.â Old Master Jun stroked his beard smugly. âDamn, speaking of which, my grandson has good taste.â
âOld Master, the word âsmugâ is written all over your face.â Old Master Mu was rather emotional. âItâs really not easy to get such a woman from an ordinary family.â
However, he could only be envious. Other peopleâs grandson really knew how to choose the grand daughter-in-law.
That night, the younger generation of the Mu family received a scolding from the Old Master for no apparent reason.
There were so many guests that Xia Wanyuan couldnât even finish her meal properly. Before the car drove back to the manor, she felt a little hungry.
âXiao Bao, are you full?â
Xia Wanyuan pinched Xiao Baoâs adorable little face.
âMommy, Iâm full!â Xiao Bao looked up, his big eyes begging for praise. âI ate two big bowls of rice! Great-grandfather even put a lot of meat in my bowl!â
ââ¦â¦.â
Xia Wanyuan paused for a moment before praising Xiao Bao. âMm, thatâs great.â
After receiving the praise, Xiao Bao happily continued to read his cartoon book.
Xia Wanyuan pursed her lips.?Forget it, I will eat later.
Jun Shiling had noticed that Xia Wanyuan had only eaten half a bowl of rice when he was eating. Hence, when he saw Xia Wanyuan asking Xiao Bao if he was hungry, a smile appeared in his eyes.
While Xia Wanyuan was reading the cartoon book with Xiao Bao, Jun Shiling picked up his phone and sent a message.
When the car drove back to the manor, she smelled an overwhelming fragrance the moment she entered the house.
âWhy did Nanny Li cook today?â
Xia Wanyuan asked curiously, her appetite aroused by the fragrance of the food.
âYoung Master instructed me.â Nanny Li brought the cutlery over.
âOh.â Xia Wanyuan took the bowl and chopsticks, only to see Jun Shiling walking straight upstairs to the study.
âJun Shiling, didnât you instruct her? Come and eat,â Xia Wanyuan called out to Jun Shiling.
ââ¦â
Jun Shiling paused and walked back to the table.
Xia Wanyuan ate another bowl, but Jun Shiling only ate a few mouthfuls before putting down his chopsticks.
âThe future superstar of the broadcasting industry is about to be born! Brothers, are you looking forward to it?â Su Mei and the others surrounded Xia Yuâs bed and watched him tinkering with the registered host.
âF*ck you,â Xia Yu scolded Su Mei jokingly.
âXia Yu, what are you going to broadcast?â Yang Lin asked curiously.
âThe popular mobile game now? Doesnât Ruan Nian play that too?â Xia Yu sat on the bed with his legs crossed. His eyes were filled with disdain when he spoke of Ruan Nian.
âYouâre definitely more popular than him. Really, Xia Yu, with your face, youâre definitely popular.â
Xia Yu was good-looking and looked a little like Xia Wanyuan. Over the past few days, countless girls had secretly admired him.
âTsk, how can that piece of trash be compared to me?â Thinking of how Ruan Nian had scolded Xia Wanyuan, Xia Yu was furious.
