My Wife is a Goddess: 99 Secret Kisses-Chapter 184 DRAMA & WEDDING PART 14
Chapter 184 DRAMA & WEDDING PART 14
"You have nieces who are at your age?" Ge Chen was surprised. He was amazed every time he found out something about her family and relatives.
Nothing about her was normal that's for sure.
No wonder she was different from others.
It wasn't because of her education; it was the environment she grew up in.
At least, out of all her family members and relatives, Xue Lin was the most logical, knowledgeable, and proper.
Xue Lin answered, "No, they are not around my age. They are two to three years older than me. They've got an elder sister and that niece of mine turned me into a grandma when I was still in middle school. My grandchildren are… my niece's daughters are going to school."
She frowned and continued, "It feels so weird when I say grandchildren. I'm not even middle-aged."
She elbowed him and added, "You became a grandfather because you married me."
"So it seems…" Ge Chen commented.
He calmly gazed at those nieces-in-law of his and quietly said, "Nice to meet you all. I will be in your care for two days."
One of them covered their mouths. "Oh-oh, Xue Lin is married. That means we've got an uncle."
"Wow! I cannot believe she got married at such a young age," another one said.
"Oh shut up! I'm not the one who got married at eighteen. Those girls are you," Xue Lin snapped at them.
Her third niece asked her provocatively, "So what if we got married at eighteen?"
Xue Lin asked her back, "So what if I got married at twenty-three?"
"Did I say that there was anything wrong? I didn't mean it that way," the niece replied.
"If you don't mean it, it doesn't sound like that. I don't like the way you talk to me. Be careful and choose your words wisely if you wish to speak with me," Xue Lin lectured them coldly before dragging her husband away from them.
"Hey, calm down. They just made some comments. It's nothing to be mad about," Ge Chen tried to coax her.
Xue Lin rumbled, "I didn't mind their comments. They are brainless and don't know how to talk; I get it. But didn't you notice their tone? For a moment, I wanted to punch their faces."
Ge Chen stated, "No need to be so violent. Don't you always say - trash is just trash? It stinks so we need to stay away from it for our good health."
"Thank you for reminding me of that. How could I forget my own lesson?" she saw someone and tugged his shirt. "Look this is my eldest uncle."
She strode toward her eldest uncle and said, "Uncle, long time no see! How are you?"
The eldest uncle was looking around. Seeing Xue Lin after three years his eyes sparkled with happiness.
He patted the petit girl's shoulder and reprimanded her, "Rascal, now you remember your uncle. You left without telling us anything. Why did you forget to contact me when you were abroad? How did you become so skinny? Did you not eat well? Did you keep studying and forget to eat? …Blah blah blah blah…"
Xue Lin realized that he was venting on her after three years. If he continued, her ears would fall off.
She cut him off and said, "Stop, stop, stop uncle, you've got blood pressure, remember?"
"Hmph! You don't have to show that you still care for me," her uncle sulked.
"I do care for you and that's why I want you to meet my husband first. This is Ge Chen, my husband," she skillfully changed the subject.
"Hello uncle, I'm Ge Chen. It's an honor to meet you," Ge Chen politely bowed.
Her eldest uncle looked at Ge Chen and observed him top to bottom. He said, "I heard about you the other day from Wanwan. Did you two run off and married?"
"Huh?" Xue Lin's eyebrow twitched. She knew Wanwan wasn't the best material (cousin) in the world but she didn't expect that she would spread lies like that.
Xue Lin's anger inflamed and her voice rose as she declared, "Uncle, do I look like a coward who would run off? My parents tried to make me tie the knot with a damn womanizer and I realized that I wouldn't be safe in your brother's family. That's why I decided to live on my own. It wasn't the first time I left anyway. But that womanizer's family was making my life hard and then my husband offered to help me. Since we knew each other for three years, I knew what kind of person he is. So I married him. After marrying him my problems were solved. That's the true story."
"Let me find that girl. I will slaughter her!" She took big steps and disappeared in the crowd.
Ge Chen was about to follow her but was held by her uncle. "You can't go in there," he said. "First, you have to tell me everything that happened."
Ge Chen could tell that his uncle-in-law was only concerned about his wife; thus, he told him everything he knew.
The eldest uncle shook his head in lamentation and murmured, "Sometimes, I don't know what is going on inside my youngest brother's head. He used to love Xue Lin a lot. To think it had come to this… it's so sad."
Ge Chen was about to say something when they heard Xue Lin's loud voice.
Xue Lin scolded Wanwan who was seven years older than her in front of everyone, "Why did you have to lie to everyone that I fled from home and got married? What does wedlock even mean? You are pregnant. Can't you take care of yourself? Why do you have to try to ruin others' reputations? Who gave you the right to do that?"
"What do you mean you didn't run off? You clearly left your family and married a man who knows where he came from," Wanwan sneered.
"Wanwan, don't go too far," Xue Lin warned. "Since when did 'run off' and 'leave home' have the same meaning?"
Wanwan taunted her disdainfully, "Why are you being all high and mighty? I said you ran off, then you did run off."
Xue Lin didn't let her say another word. She raised her hand and slapped Wanwan.
