Chapter 868 - Resemblance

This face…

If his dear Yu’er grew up safely and peacefully, she should probably look like this, right?

When Zhong Nuannuan came out of the house, she could feel Nangong Renyi’s burning gaze on her face.

However, in her previous life, the few young masters of the Nangong family assisted Zhong Qianqian so much that made Zhong Nuannuan unhappy. Therefore, even though she knew that she had a group of very powerful relatives, she did not intend to line herself with them as family.

At the very least, until the few young masters made it up to her for the grievances they caused her, she had no intention of acknowledging them as her family.

Nuannuan looked straight ahead and revealed an elegant smile befitting an educated lady. She eased herself up a bit and relaxed her stance slightly as she respectfully greeted, “Hello, Grandfather Nangong, Grandfather Xu, and Grandfather Li.”

To be honest, even though they knew that Chi Yang married a girl, and Old Man Chi told them how pretty this girl was, her photographic memory, and her exceptional medical skills, everything was only hearsay. Now that they saw her in person and saw how beautiful she truly was, the old men were a little jealous.

Although the old master enjoyed the way these old men’s jealousy, he intended to defend his rights as the host and exclaimed, “Hey, hey, hey, Old Man Nangong, what’s with that look in your eyes?! How can you be so disrespectful at such an age? This is my family’s granddaughter-in-law! The moment she comes out, your eyes are glued to my Little Girl Nuan. What’s the meaning of this?”

Old Master Chi’s words also took Old Master Xu and Old Master Li by surprise. It was really rare for them to see Old Master Nangong lose his composure in front of others.

Hearing this, Grandfather Nangong’s face turned as red as a tomato.

Old Master Chi could not take it anymore.

“Huh… he’s blushing! I say, Nangong Renyi, you mustn’t! You’re almost 80 years old, yet you’ve taken a liking to a little girl? You… You!!! Let me warn you, this is the granddaughter-in-law that my Chi family has set our sights on. If you dare harbor any evil thoughts, not only will I cut off all ties with you, I’ll even start a war with you!”

At this moment, Grandfather Nangong came back to his senses. With a glare, he unleashed the aura of the admiral that he was.

“What nonsense are you spouting?! I was just looking at your granddaughter-in-law and suddenly thought of my daughter. Your granddaughter-in-law looks like my daughter!”

When Nangong Renyi said that, Elder Xu and Elder Li were also stunned. Then, they widened their eyes. “We don’t know if she looks like your daughter, but this girl resembles Sister-in-law indeed!”

Nangong Renyi pursed his lips. “Nonsense! Of course my daughter resembles my wife!”

“Okay, okay. Don’t flatter yourself when you see someone else’s daughter. Anyway, I’ve invited you to see my granddaughter-in-law today. From now on, she’s your granddaughter too. If my granddaughter-in-law needs your help in the future, treat her like how you treat me. The same helpfulness that you show me, you understand yeah?”

Old Master Li was from Sea District. These few old masters would often imitate Elder Li’s accent that was local to Sea District.

However, Old Master Chi’s question stunned everyone.

If Old Master Chi needed help, they would definitely put their lives on the line to help him. Now, he was requesting them to treat Zhong Nuannuan the same way they would to the old master. Did that not mean that when Zhong Nuannuan was in need of help, they must show her the same attitude?

“That’s right, that’s right. I didn’t say anything wrong. That’s what I mean!” Seeing their shock, Old Master Chi immediately confirmed their doubts and announced austerely, “Zhong Nuannuan has the validation as the Chi family’s granddaughter-in-law!”
