Chapter 255: Chapter 252: Future Grandson’s Wife, Su Qinghe

’His mom must have called his grandmother ahead of time to let her know they were almost there.’

In the distance, Gu Yifan saw a figure standing on the porch of the old Western-style house, peering out from time to time...

It was her.

That person was Gu Yifan’s grandmother—Ye Wenjuan.

She was over seventy years old now. She had lived through the hard times, but thankfully, she was still in good health.

At this moment, she had a full head of silver hair and a smile on her face, her eyes twinkling with anticipation as she looked in Gu Yifan’s direction.

When she saw the car approaching, she hurried forward to greet them.

After parking the car, Gu Yifan and Su Qinghe got out.

Gu Yifan quickly walked ahead to support his grandmother, chiding her gently, "Grandma, it’s so hot out. You didn’t have to come out and wait for us!"

"Hah."

"Yifan, Grandma’s fine. I’m not that fragile yet!"

Ye Wenjuan said with a smile, gently patting the back of Gu Yifan’s hand.

Just then, his mom and dad, along with Su Qinghe, walked over.

"Mom~"

The couple, Gu Jiaguo and Chen Dongmei, greeted her with a smile.

"Oh, right!"

"Grandma, this is my girlfriend, your future granddaughter-in-law—Su Qinghe!"

As if suddenly remembering something, Gu Yifan turned, took Su Qinghe’s hand, and led her to his grandmother to make the introduction.

"Oh?"

The moment Ye Wenjuan saw Su Qinghe, her eyes, which had been a little cloudy, brightened.

Her eyes shone with a gentle light as she looked Su Qinghe up and down, her gaze filled with curiosity and affection.

"H-Hello, Grandma~"

Su Qinghe greeted her softly, her face blushing.

"Good, good, very good~"

Ye Wenjuan beamed with a kind, loving smile, repeating the word "good" several times.

Clearly, her first impression of Su Qinghe was excellent.

"Um, Mom, it’s sunny out here. Let’s go inside to talk!"

Chen Dongmei said from the side.

"Alright!"

"Let’s talk inside, let’s talk inside!"

Ye Wenjuan said with a smiling nod.

Then, supported by Gu Yifan and Su Qinghe, she walked into the inner room.

「...」

In the main hall, they all sat casually on the wooden sofa.

"Grandma, where’s Grandpa?"

Gu Yifan asked casually.

"Your grandpa? He ran off to the village entrance to watch people play chess!"

"Hehehe..."

Ye Wenjuan replied.

"Oh, okay."

Gu Yifan then stood up and said, "Grandma, Dad, Mom, you guys chat. I’ll go boil some water for tea."

With that, he dutifully went to boil water and make tea.

’Can’t be helped!’

’I’m the one with the lowest status here, after all!’

"Alright, you go ahead."

"Qinghe, you stay and chat with Grandma."

Ye Wenjuan said with a nod.

Hearing this, Su Qinghe subconsciously glanced at Gu Yifan, a questioning look in her eyes.

Gu Yifan gave her a slight nod, signaling that she shouldn’t be nervous and everything was fine.

Su Qinghe complied.

He then quickly made his way to the kitchen.

His mom held his grandmother’s hand tightly, the two of them quietly catching up on everyday things after a long time apart, sharing in the warmth of their family bond.

Meanwhile, his dad sat to the side, smiling happily, his gaze drifting from person to person with a deep sense of family attachment.

As for Su Qinghe, she sat quietly and primly to the side, feeling very nervous inside.

"Qinghe, don’t be shy. Come! Sit here next to Grandma."

After pulling Su Qinghe down to sit beside her, Ye Wenjuan looked her up and down with a beaming smile.

’This girl is not only beautiful but also especially polite. Composed and humble, very likable.’

"Mm-hm~"

Su Qinghe nodded shyly and sat down next to the elderly woman.

She didn’t know why, but from the moment she met Gu Yifan’s grandmother, she felt a strong sense of warmth and familiarity.

’Maybe it’s because my own grandmother used to dote on me just like this.’

"Sigh~"

Ye Wenjuan let out a small sigh. With her husband to look after her, her health was still decent.

But recently, the matter of the house’s demolition had her worried sick.

The old house itself wasn’t very large, but because the yard was quite big, the compensation, calculated by square footage, should have been a considerable sum.

But for some reason, three different groups of people had suddenly appeared, all claiming to be relatives from the Chen Family, trying to get a share of the demolition money.

This made Ye Wenjuan both furious and utterly exhausted.

’These days, scammers are really getting more and more audacious!’

"Grandma, please don’t worry. We can have Yifan call the police later and let them teach those shameless people a lesson!"

Su Qinghe said in a low voice.

Su Qinghe had never been a spoiled or bossy person. On the contrary, she had always been sensible and very considerate of her elders.

"Good child. With you all here, Grandma isn’t afraid of anything."

Ye Wenjuan said with a smile, kindly stroking Su Qinghe’s delicate hand.

「A moment later—」

Gu Yifan came in carrying the tea.

"Here, everyone, have some tea!"

He handed out the cups of tea one by one.

When he got to his grandmother, he asked, "Grandma, about the demolition... has our family run into any trouble?"

Hearing this, Ye Wenjuan sighed softly.

She hadn’t wanted to tell Gu Yifan about these upsetting matters.

But she knew that even if she didn’t bring it up, Gu Yifan would inevitably find out by asking around.

After a moment’s thought, she briefly explained the troubles the family had been facing recently.

"Something like that is actually happening?"

Gu Yifan said with a slight frown.

He thought for a moment, then took out his phone and dialed a number.

RING RING—

Soon, a man’s voice answered on the other end.

"Hello? Who is this?"

The man asked.

"It’s me."

Gu Yifan said in a low voice.

"President Gu, do you have any instructions for me?"

Hearing Gu Yifan’s voice, the man’s attitude immediately became completely respectful.

"Here’s the situation. My grandmother has run into a bit of trouble recently, and I’d like you to help me handle it."

Gu Yifan said after a moment’s consideration.

"President Gu, please, tell me. What trouble do you need taken care of?"

The man on the other end of the line asked.

"Mm... it’s like this. My grandmother’s old home is about to be demolished, but recently, a number of people claiming to be elders from my family have shown up to fight over the compensation money. I don’t want these flies bothering my grandmother."

Gu Yifan said slowly.

"Understood, President Gu. Don’t you worry! Leave this to me. I’ll make all those flies shut their mouths!"

The man on the phone said, his tone turning vicious.

"Mm... I’ll leave it to you, then. I want this resolved as soon as possible. Also... once it’s handled, don’t leave any loose ends, and don’t do anything illegal. I don’t want my grandmother to be disturbed in any way again. Understand?"

Gu Yifan said coolly.
