CHAPTER 6: CHAPTER 6: GAINING THE OLD MADAM’S FAVOR

EDITOR: HENYEE TRANSLATIONS

Zhan Hanjue woke up, Ningwan had already freshened up and come out of the bathroom.

Zhan Hanjue reached for his watch, touched it to check the time, and asked, "How did I fall asleep yesterday?"

Ningwan replied casually, "You fell asleep as soon as you lay down yesterday, your sleep quality is really good, truly enviable."

Zhan Hanjue fumbled to get out of bed, took off his pajamas, and changed into formal wear.

Ningwan immediately turned around with her back to him; she had checked his pulse last night, and his eyes were indeed injured. The blocked meridian was a symptom of the eye ailment.

It seems the blindness is not an act, it’s real, which is great, as it means she can do things without restraint.

Therefore, she didn’t apply the bionic skin on her face this morning; she’ll simply wear a veil when going out later.

After all, the bionic skin isn’t breathable, and wearing it long can easily cause allergies.

Her skin is naturally tender and prone to allergies; she thought she’d be back soon after this trip to the city. She only brought two pieces of bionic skin, as they’re disposable, and she needs to find time to study new ones.

"Young Master, Young Madam, Old Mrs. Zhan invites you to come down for breakfast." A servant came knocking.

Ningwan put on her veil and went to assist Zhan Hanjue.

But as soon as she touched him, Zhan Hanjue brushed her off mercilessly.

Ningwan pursed her lips and had to follow him downstairs.

Old Mrs. Zhan saw them coming down together and happily said, "You two are here, did you sleep well yesterday?"

Ningwan quickly bowed and replied softly, "Slept very well, thank you for your concern, Grandma."

At this moment, a servant came over with a cup of tea.

Before the servant could speak, Ningwan proactively took the cup of tea and handed it to Old Mrs. Zhan.

Old Mrs. Zhan nodded with satisfaction, and her gaze caught sight of a maid coming down from upstairs.

The maid was holding a piece of white silk cloth, which had dark red blood stains on it.

Old Mrs. Zhan was shocked.

Ningwan immediately whispered to explain, "That night, the driver did nothing, he pitied me and helped me keep it secret."

"If that’s the case, why didn’t you say anything, why not tell your grandfather?" Old Mrs. Zhan was puzzled.

Ningwan’s beautiful eyes were filled with tears, she raised her delicate hands and gently wiped the corners of her eyes, speaking softly with a sob, "Grandpa has always disliked me, the marriage with the Lin Family is a disaster for me, not a blessing, I can’t handle it."

Upon hearing this, Old Mrs. Zhan held her hand with pity, "Poor thing, Old Ye is too harsh, how can he favor one child over the other like this, his conscience has really been eaten by a dog."

"But fortunately, it allowed me to marry into the Zhan Family, where I met such a good husband and grandmother." Ningwan took the opportunity to charm.

Old Mrs. Zhan felt even more sympathy for her, quickly let her sit down, and served her several kinds of breakfast dishes.

Ningwan gently lifted the veil to eat.

Old Mrs. Zhan found it quite strange, couldn’t help but ask, "Your face..."

"The car accident left scars, that’s why Grandpa thinks I bring bad luck." Ningwan explained.

"External beauty is not important; inner beauty is true beauty. At my age, I’ve seen it all, go ahead and take off the veil!" Old Mrs. Zhan was very understanding.

Ningwan quickly refused, "I’d rather not, I don’t want to scare Grandma."

"What haven’t I seen that would scare me?" Zhan Hanjue spoke while swiftly pulling off the veil from her face.

Ningwan was completely unprepared for him to remove her veil and immediately covered her face.

Now, not to mention scars, there wasn’t even a mole on her face. The good image she had just built in Old Mrs. Zhan’s eyes might be ruined.

"Ningwan, your face?" Old Mrs. Zhan exclaimed.

Ningwan sheepishly explained, "Grandma, I..."

"So your face was a fake too. Wonderful! Ningwan, looks like our Zhan Family got a great deal, marrying you, such a beauty!" Old Mrs. Zhan happily clapped and laughed, "The child you two will have will definitely be extraordinarily adorable and smart. You must hurry and give me a great-grandchild."

Ningwan: "..."

Old Mrs. Zhan wasn’t angry?

This old lady’s chest is truly... admirably tolerant!

"Ningwan, I heard your cousin and Lin Yuyang are returning in three days. You and Hanjue should also return openly. Don’t wear a veil, let them regret it." Old Mrs. Zhan eagerly suggested.

Ningwan awkwardly looked towards Zhan Hanjue.

Over the years, Zhan Hanjue has been very low-key; otherwise, people wouldn’t have speculated he’s old and ugly. Would he be willing to accompany her back to the Ye Family?

"Grandma, I’m not convenient to go out."

Sure enough, Zhan Hanjue coldly refused.

But Madam Zhan was very strong-willed: "No way, we finally got married into this family, you must go out to show off. No matter what, you must accompany Ningwan back, don’t let her lose face at the Ye Family. It’s decided. If you refuse to accompany Ningwan, I’ll show her your childhood photos walking around naked."

Zhan Hanjue: "..."

Ningwan smirked, amusedly watching him.

But thinking he couldn’t see her expression, her smile grew even brighter.

"Fine, I’ll accompany her back." Zhan Hanjue gritted his teeth and agreed.
