CHAPTER 390: CHAPTER 237 STUBBORN TEMPERAMENT! 1
"Gu Bohan, you’ve been a tyrant all your life, now you’re meddling in your son’s marriage. What’s most detestable is forcing a pair of twins to separate from their mother. You’re one foot in the grave, can’t you do one good thing? Why must you tear apart a family of four!" Song Xiaoyin angrily cursed as she threw things around.
Gu Bohan stared at her, seated on the sofa, how long had it been since he last saw her!
Perhaps nearly thirty years now!
Thirty years!
How many decades does one have in life?
Let alone, a single thirty years!
This talented woman, as of today, washed by the years, still hadn’t changed her intense demeanor, nor controlled her temper.
Yet, the older he got, the more he realized he was missing a companion by his side.
Even the people who would argue with him had become pitifully few!
Song Xiaoyin had returned!
She rushed back from New York, heading straight for the Gu Family villa upon landing.
Her temper hadn’t changed at all, she was still so impatient!
Or perhaps it was precisely this impetuousness that made Gu Bohan, who had seen all there is to see, feel that Song Xiaoyin was still the most endearing person!
"Gu Bohan, you’ve done enough evil; do you think I’ll let you off just because you remain silent?" Song Xiaoyin pointed at his nose and scolded, "I’m telling you today, I will take the dragon-phoenix twins! Otherwise, I won’t let this go!"
"You won’t let this go, you mean, let the journalists outside come in to interview me? Or to interview our family matters?" Gu Bohan revealed a smile, welcoming Song Xiaoyin’s return to the country.
Song Xiaoyin said, "Yes! I want to make your disgrace known far and wide! To show the world what a wealthy magnate on the Forbes list is truly like, bullying his son and grandchildren!"
"Do you think they dare to write about it?" Gu Bohan stood up, approaching Song Xiaoyin.
"What’s there not to dare?" Song Xiaoyin pushed him with her hand.
The bodyguards immediately came forward to protect him, but Gu Bohan gestured for them to step back.
"Then you try as hard as you can!" Gu Bohan chuckled as he looked at her, "Do you still remember? I have an important piece of evidence in my hand. I’m thinking, after all these years, have you perhaps forgotten?"
"Gu Bohan..." Song Xiaoyin, eyes reddened with anger, "After so many years, you’re still bringing up that matter!"
"Correct!" Gu Bohan swirled the red wine in his glass, "Xiaoyin, welcome back!"
Undeniably, it was because of the dragon-phoenix twins that he intentionally lured Song Xiaoyin back to the country.
Song Xiaoyin was so angry she could barely stand straight, Gu Qingchen hurried forward to support her, "Mom, why are you so agitated?"
Seeing Gu Qingchen’s return, Gu Bohan said, "This pair of dragon-phoenix twins, I will not let your mother have them! You better explain it to her!"
"Mom..." Gu Qingchen assisted her to sit down.
Song Xiaoyin refused to sit, still glaring at Gu Bohan, "You won’t give them to me? Then I’ll just stay right here! I want to be with my grandchildren!"
"Suit yourself!" Gu Bohan said and then turned and left.
Song Xiaoyin was so furious that her stomach was in knots!
But she had made up her mind, she wouldn’t leave, she would stay to care for the pair of precious dragon-phoenix twins. She couldn’t let this old man keep harming her grandchildren!
Gu Qingchen helped Song Xiaoyin back to her old room, "Sit mom, I’ll get you a glass of water!"
"You call me mom? Am I really your mother?" Song Xiaoyin angrily said, "What do you take me for? You have such a good pair of twins, and you didn’t even tell me? Gu Qingchen, are you heartless like that old man?"
Gu Qingchen: "..."
The old lady was enraged!
However, considering the old lady had returned to the country and confronted the old man, Gu Qingchen remained silent.
When a woman is angry, the best thing for him to do is to remain silent.
"You speak!" Song Xiaoyin glared at him angrily, "During my last trip home, the little girl I saw was my granddaughter, yet you didn’t say a word! Gu Qingchen, you ungrateful wretch, have I raised you for nothing?"
"Mom..." Gu Qingchen’s face fell, "I am not that despicable, don’t lump me together with him! That time, wasn’t it that I just didn’t have a chance to tell you before you returned to New York?"
"Couldn’t you have called me?" Song Xiaoyin slapped the table, angry, "We’re in the information age, how much time or money does it take you to make a call? Do you think it’s like thirty years ago, where making a transoceanic call was an ordeal?"
She choked up as she said this!
"Mom, don’t be angry!" Gu Qingchen crouched down and gripped her hand tightly, "Do you know? I just came from Bei Ran’s place, I didn’t even have time to explain, she must think I was called away by some woman! Look, this is a huge misunderstanding! I came to you first thing, and now, Bei Ran is probably mad at me too!"
"Deservedly!" Song Xiaoyin said, "Ziyu told me everything, who told you to divorce such a good girl? She gave birth to dragon-phoenix twins for you and you still want a divorce! What kind of woman is Ji Su, don’t you know by now? She’s now the Young Madam of the Gu Family; you better stay away from her!"
Gu Qingchen looked at her: "I know, Mom, she’s the only one I want with all my heart and soul now!"
"Fine! I came back this time just for you and the children. Do you really want to be the president of Gu Group?" After venting her anger, Song Xiaoyin asked earnestly.
Gu Qingchen lit a cigarette: "Mom, even if I want to pull out, do you think he would let me go?"
"That damn old man!" Song Xiaoyin couldn’t help but swear again, "Doesn’t he have another son? We don’t care for the Gu Family’s property at all!"
Gu Qingchen held Song Xiaoyin’s hand tight: "Mom, please look after the children for me first. With you here, I can rest assured!"
"Don’t worry! I will fight him to the end!" Song Xiaoyin declared, "But you have to treat Bei Ran well. It’s not easy for her to give birth to a pair of children, let alone raise them."
"Mom, she’s truly your daughter, and I will absolutely be your son-in-law!" Gu Qingchen said, "You’ve had a long journey, why don’t you take a bath and rest first. The kids won’t be out of school until after four in the afternoon; there’s no need to rush to see them."
"But I’m anxious!" Song Xiaoyin sighed, "I wish I could curse that old man to death!"
"Good! Go ahead and curse him to death! I promise to stand by and do nothing, not even to save him!" Gu Qingchen got up, "I’m going to head to the office now!"
"Go on!" Song Xiaoyin watched him helplessly, "Qingchen, I heard from Jiang Ge that you still resent your grandfather?"
Gu Qingchen’s body stiffened, he lit a cigarette, stopped in his tracks, but said nothing.
If he had never met Bei Ran in this life, would he have to shoulder a lifetime of infamy?
Four o’clock in the afternoon.
Song Xiaoyin appeared at the kindergarten early. She watched as the little fish ran out.
The little fish was running while shouting: "Grandma... Wow, Grandma, it’s been so long!"
Song Xiaoyin held the child in her arms; she really was her own granddaughter. No wonder she felt so close the first time she saw her.
"Grandma has missed our little treasure so much too!" Song Xiaoyin kissed her forehead.
This time, the grandmother and granddaughter truly embraced each other, which moved Song Xiaoyin deeply.
Ji Su also came to pick up the children, holding Gu Yaowan’s hand as she walked over and cheerfully called: "Mom..."
Song Xiaoyin replied indifferently: "I am only Qingchen’s mother, others shouldn’t call me that."
Ji Su felt a bit embarrassed, "Madam, you’ve returned!"
"I am not the Gu Family’s madam!" Song Xiaoyin’s response was even colder, as she took little fish’s hand, "Let’s go, we’re going to pick up your brother!"
Song Xiaoyin ignored Ji Su and Gu Yaowan, holding the little fish’s hand, and proceeded to the big fish’s school.
The child she had seen in New York! It turned out to be her precious grandson!
At this moment of reunion, she was moved to tears.
"Grandma..." The big fish hugged her neck, "Grandma is still so beautiful and charming!"
"Little guy, your mouth is way sweeter than your dad’s!" Song Xiaoyin laughed joyfully, "Grandma has been wandering abroad for half her life, but when I think of my old age, turning out to have such a pair of adorable and charming grandchildren, it suddenly makes me feel that this whole life is especially blessed."
Perhaps, even the smartest children wouldn’t understand the deep meaning of those words.
Half a life abroad, in my youth I was in City A, and in my old age, I returned to City A.
Little fish’s chubby little mouth kissed Song Xiaoyin’s cheek: "Grandma, you should stay with us from now on! I will sing and dance for you every day, and draw pictures..."
"Okay!" Song Xiaoyin truly did not want to leave anymore, even if she would eventually face the most awkward moment.
The big fish linked arms with Song Xiaoyin, "I’ll massage Grandma’s legs, pinch your hands, give your shoulders a rub..."
"That’s wonderful!" Song Xiaoyin laughed, her happiest in years, "What do you want to eat tonight? Grandma will take you out, okay?"
"Yay!" The little fish clapped her hands, "I want to eat fried chicken, I want cola..."
The big fish teased her: "Be careful you don’t turn into a big fatty and fail to get married..."
"Then that’s great, I’ll just stay with Grandma forever." The little fish pouted playfully.
Song Xiaoyin joked: "Our family has a grown girl, by the time little fish is grown and of age to marry, Grandma will be too old to move!"
"Not true!" The little fish counted seriously on her fingers, "Grandma, I’m already five years old. I can get married when I’m twenty! Just fifteen more years. Grandma will be strong and will definitely watch me and brother grow up..."
The grandmother and grandchildren went out for a meal together, and when they were preparing to return to Gu Mansion, the little fish said: "Grandma, Grandpa is really scary, he won’t let us see Mom..."
"I miss Mom too. If she can’t see us, she must be crying..." The big fish added.
Song Xiaoyin, having been there before, knew all too well the pain of wanting to see someone but not being able to. She noticed that a Gu Family car and bodyguards had been following them from a distance.
