My Evil Genius Wife

517 Wedding VII

After showing Lin Ran her place, Grandmother Han went to welcome Grandfather Jiang who was talking with Grandfather Han. “Mr. Jiang, why did you bring so many gifts? Didn’t Han Zihao inform you that they are not accepting any gifts for the ceremony?” She exclaimed in surprise to see his secretary holding a number of boxes of gifts that were almost covering his face.

Seeing him struggling to carry so many gifts while putting on an indifferent poker face, Grandmother Han asked a waiter to put away the gifts on the table to relieve him from the unnecessary burden.

“You have already sent us so many gifts earlier. Why did you bring so many gifts again?” She asked in concern.

He has already sent so many gifts to the Han Mansion before the wedding ceremony. Tonight she was intending to thank him for those gifts yet he brought more gifts again. She couldn’t understand his enthusiasm toward Han Zihao and Xu Nuan’s wedding.

Even Gu’s didn’t perform this many formalities that he is doing despite not being related to any of their families.

Grandfather Jiang smiled to see the Old Madam of the Han Family welcoming him warmly. Although it was the first time that they were meeting, he feels familiar upon seeing her because Xu Nuan always sings praises about her and says how savagely cool she is.

She had complimented Grandmother Han in front of him more than the times she praised Han Zihao. Seeing her happily talking about Han Zihao’s family, he was relieved that she was going to get married to a family where she was treated with love and care.

Not only Han Zihao is a caring and loving man, but also his family treats Xu Nuan as part of their family. There is nothing more that he could wish for at this point. All of his wishes have miraculously come true.

“They did inform me. However, these gifts are not for them. I already sent the gifts to their place before the ceremony. These gifts are for you and Xu Nuan’s in-laws. The gifts that I sent last time, some of them were left out of the list and couldn’t be delivered to you timely. That is why I brought these gifts together with me today.” Grandfather Jiang explained.

.....

The last time he gave a list of gifts to his secretary to send to the Han Mansion for Xu Nuan’s in-laws and her new family members. However, the servant who packed the gifts made a mistake and forgot to deliver a few boxes of gifts.

Thankfully, he found out about this blunder timely and managed to bring the gifts with him on the day of the wedding ceremony.

Even though he is not attending the wedding ceremony as someone from the bride’s family or as Xu Nuan’s Grandfather but in reality, he cannot separate himself from this occasion. Because in reality, it was his granddaughter, Jiang Yue who is going to marry the love of her life.

How can he not fulfill his duty as her grandfather and not bring gifts for her in-laws and other family members?

Grandfather and Grandmother Han were dumbfounded when they heard that these gift boxes were for them. “Mr. Jiang, you already sent us so many gifts. There was no need for you to do all of this.” Grandmother Han said while wondering why he would bring so many gifts for them when he isn’t part of Xu Nuan’s family.

Grandfather Jiang noticed the confusion on her face and said with a bitter smile, “Xu Nuan has once saved my life. After that one fateful encounter, I started to treat her like my youngest granddaughter.”

“I am doing all this because I want to and it makes me happy. It’s as if I am attending my granddaughter’s wedding. Please don’t take away this happiness from me and accept these gifts as tokens of my blessings for them.” His voice choked because all the sad memories flashed in front of his eyes.

Only he knows the pain that he was hiding inside his heart. It was his granddaughter’s wedding but he cannot showcase his love for her as much as he wants or call her his granddaughter.

Grandmother Han pursed her lips and felt bad for the old man. She was aware that last year he lost his youngest granddaughter and this time, he found out that his eldest granddaughter was behind the planned accident.

This news is being flashed almost every day on television or comes in headlines in newspapers. How can she not know about this?

She cannot even imagine the pain and agony he must be going through. She could understand why he was feeling so obsessed with Xu Nuan’s wedding.

She didn’t push him anymore and gladly accepted his gifts and said, “If that’s the case, then I will not return these gifts to you. However, in exchange for these gifts, you will have to accept the gifts that I will send to you and you cannot reject them.”

“How can I accept any gift from you? It’s not like we’re doing any competition to see who gives more gifts than the other person.” The old man chuckled at the comment of Grandmother Han.

She shook her head and said, “No! I am not listening to any of your excuses. I accepted your gifts so you will also have to accept my gifts. That’s final.” She argues and refuses to listen to his excuses anymore.

The old man laughed and reluctantly agreed to her arrangement. No doubt Xu Nuan praises her all the time. She sure knows how to lead the conversation and make the other person helpless in front of her. No one can win her in terms of an argument.

While the Han family was happily mingling with Grandfather Jiang, Lin Ran at the other table was fuming in anger. Grandmother Han was showing more attention to Jiang Hanying than she did to them.

The way they’re interacting and laughing, it looks as if Xu Nuan is Mr. Jiang’s granddaughter and after tonight they’re going to become in-laws.

“Tsk. It’s not even his Granddaughter’s wedding ceremony. Why did he bring so many gifts anyway? Is he trying to look down on us by doing this?” Lin Ran scoffed and commented upon seeing so many boxes of gifts that were placed on the other table.

Gu Zhang sighed and said, “It was not the issue why he brought so many gifts. The problem is, despite being from the bride’s side, we didn’t prepare much or did anything for this ceremony. I shouldn’t have listened to you earlier.” He shook his head in disappointment.

Lin Ran frowned at him and argued, ” Are you blaming me for it? I only stopped you from preparing so many gifts because they did not want any gifts at their wedding and had refused to accept any gifts. How am I wrong in telling you to not bring anything with you? I was simply following their instructions. That’s it.”

“Yes. You only do that when it’s in your favor.” Gu Zhang commented and was feeling irritated for blindly accepting her words and doing as she said while preparing for the wedding.

So many things happened and Xu Nuan was the one who saved Gu enterprises from the hacking attack. If not for her, their business would have been ruined completely and they would have lost their credibility in the industry.

They should be thankful for Xu Nuan. Despite all these things that Xu Nuan did for them, Lin Ran still believes that it wasn’t their fault as parents for sowing a seed of discrimination between the two children and stretching the situation for so long.
