Domination of the Aristocratic Dynasty After a Body Swap with the CEO-Chapter 174: Granddaughter-in-law (Plus Geng)
Chapter 174
Going to her own home to see her parents wasn't nerve-wracking, but when it was time to return to the old mansion to see Grandfather Song and Grandmother Song, Zhong Ruanxing started to get nervous.
Song JinXing also noticed: "Why are you more nervous than me?"
Zhong Ruanxing rolled her eyes at him: "Isn't that obvious? Of course I'm more nervous than you!"
Song JinXing raised his eyebrows: "But I'm in this body now, even if something unexpected happens, I'll be the one to deal with it."
Zhong Ruanxing: "..." She reacted: "What you said does make some sense."
Song JinXing smiled and took her hand: "Don't worry, no matter what kind of situation we face later, I can handle it well. I will definitely make your first appearance in the old mansion amazing to everyone, okay?"
Zhong Ruanxing laughed at him, feeling shy: "You don't have to exaggerate to amaze everyone."
Song JinXing nodded: "I know."
Zhong Ruanxing couldn't help but pinch his face: "So obedient."
Song JinXing looked at her helplessly: "You're making me look frivolous."
Zhong Ruanxing winked: "Do you like a frivolous tycoon?"
Song JinXing's eyes twitched as he quickly reached out to push away that expressive face of his: "Very creepy, looking at it again will give me nightmares tonight."
Zhong Ruanxing laughed hard.
After joking around, it did relieve a lot of the nervous feelings.
When they arrived at the old mansion, Zhu Auntie, who had been taking care of Old Master Song and Old Madam Song for many years, was standing at the door. Seeing the car drive into the yard and stop, she hurriedly walked over.
Zhong Ruanxing got out of the car first, and as previously agreed, pulled open the car door for Song JinXing. Zhu Auntie only took one look at the beautiful woman getting out of the car before immediately lowering her eyes respectfully. She took the gifts from Zhong Ruanxing's hands and led them inside.
Old Madam Song was supposed to be waiting in the living room, but she was too eager to see her grandson's wife. Zhu Auntie had just led the two of them through the cloister when she saw Old Madam Song had already walked to the rockery in the garden and was looking this way.
Zhu Auntie quietly reminded them: "Old Madam is coming."
Only then did Zhong Ruanxing see Grandma Song. The few of them quickened their pace. Grandma Song caught sight of the young girl beside her grandson at a glance.
Her first impression was that she was too beautiful.
Although after learning her grandson's wife's name online, she had searched for photos and already knew that her grandson's wife was a very beautiful actress. But seeing her in person, the impact of that ostentatious beauty still made Old Madam Song's eyes light up.
Zhong Ruanxing secretly took a breath and walked over with a smile: "Grandma, why did you come out? Weren't you supposed to be waiting inside?"
Old Madam Song said: "This is the first time you've brought a girlfriend home, of course I have to come out and welcome you." She looked at the girl in front of her. Although it was the first time they met, she felt a strange sense of intimacy. "You are Xingxing, right?"
Song JinXing smiled gently: "Hello Grandma, I'm Zhong Ruanxing. I'm visiting today and will be bothering you and Grandpa."
"What bother! I've been looking forward to your arrival!"
Oh my, she looks good, has good temperament, good figure, and speaks very pleasantly. She looks very polite and well-bred. More importantly, she makes Old Madam Song feel close! The older generation values affinity at first sight. Liking and feeling close to someone they meet for the first time means they have affinity. If they feel hard to get along with someone at first sight, it would be very difficult to reverse that impression later.
Old Madam Song felt that this girl was very compatible with her at first sight! Her eyes were clear and pure. At certain moments, she even had the illusion that she was looking at her own grandson. The more she looked, the more she liked her!
Moreover, when her grandson stood beside her, he looked much more cheerful than before. From his previous cold and unapproachable manner, he had become the way he was now, chatting and laughing, thanks to this girl!
Old Madam Song enthusiastically held her hand and walked inside: "Consider this your own home when you are here. Let Grandma know if you need anything!"
Song JinXing smiled and responded politely.
When they came to the living room, Old Master Song, who had said he was in no hurry, was also pacing at the door. Looking closely, the old man had even applied some hair gel to his sparse silver hair today, neatly combed, showing some solemnity.
Seeing them come over, he slowly hmmed and said, "Come in and sit down."
Taking the opportunity when everyone went inside, Old Madam Song hurried to Old Master Song's side and twisted his back waist fiercely. Old Master Song shuddered in pain. Old Madam Song lowered her voice: "This is your grandson's wife! Not your business opponent! Don't look at her with those eyes. If you scare my grandson's wife away, I won't let you off!"
Old Master Song scoffed: "Don't worry, she won't be scared away."
When they entered the living room, Song JinXing took the gifts from Zhu Auntie's hands and politely said: "Grandpa, Grandma, this is my first visit. I brought you some gifts. I hope you'll like them."
Old Madam Song quickly said, "We'll like them, we'll like them! I already like you just for coming! Come, sit next to Grandma!"
After Song JinXing put down the gifts, he went to sit next to Grandma. As soon as he sat down, Old Madam Song grabbed his hand and stuffed a bracelet to him: "Grandma also prepared a gift to meet you. This was passed down from my mother. I originally planned to pass it to my daughter-in-law, but my son has too many children. There's only one bracelet, so giving it to any one of them would show favoritism. So I kept it myself. Now I'm giving it to you!"
Showing favoritism to a daughter-in-law is fine, but showing favoritism to a grandson's wife is not, hmm!
Song JinXing spoke softly: "Grandma, this is too valuable."
"That's why it should be given to you!" Old Madam Song insisted on taking his hand and putting on the jade bracelet. "Look, it fits perfectly! How beautiful!"
Song JinXing raised his wrist and took a look. The translucent and precious jade bracelet set off his fair wrist like snow, and it did suit Zhong Ruanxing very well.
So he did not decline further. His smile was sincere and gentle: "Thank you Grandma, I will cherish it."
Zhong Ruanxing watched from the side, feeling that her previous worries were redundant. Gaining the liking and recognition of Grandpa and Grandma also made her feel genuinely happy and relaxed. It seems that those dog-blood TV drama storylines that she saw before won't happen.
The few of them sat in the living room. Grandma Song held her grandson's wife's hand and asked some caring questions that elders would ask.
"How did you and JinXing meet?"
"When are you planning to get married?"
"I don't know when your parents will be free. I feel that your Grandpa and I as the elders from the groom's side should also meet your parents to discuss your wedding plans."
Zhong Ruanxing: "............"
Grandma! That seems a little rushed, doesn't it? Others might think your grandson has trouble finding a wife!
Old Master Song also seemed to find it unbearable. He stood up and said to Zhong Ruanxing, "Come with me to the study."
Zhong Ruanxing looked at Song JinXing. He gave her a reassuring look, so she stood up, ready to follow along.
But Old Master Song turned around and looked at Song JinXing, "You come too."
