1847 Chapter 1847: The Aura of a nouveau riche
Bai Jianjun would never have thought that he would meet his parents-in-law under such circumstances.
Of course, it was fortunate that he had always been expressionless. When he saw Xie An and old madam Xie, Bai Jianjun’s heart was in turmoil. He even knew the identities of these two people instantly… After all, one of them was in a wheelchair, he was being gently pushed by Xie Luan.
Bai Jianjun stood straight.
Because they were walking through a private tunnel, there were not many people here. The expedition team’s Black Star Troopers had all gone through other tunnels, so Bai Jianxun was not here. There was only Xie Luan accompanying her parents, there were also two other trusted staff members and people sent by Xie Yun.
Bai Jianjun stood there and did not speak for a long time.
Little Xiao Sheng, on the other hand, poked her head out from behind Bai Jianjun and called out softly, “Grandma!”
The child’s voice was childish and very pleasant to the ears. Xie Luan immediately recognized that it was Xiao Sheng’s voice and the corners of her eyes curved gently.
Old Madam Xie had always liked children. However, Ah Zhe and the others had yet to give birth to a child. When she suddenly saw such a small and cute child, her eyes immediately lit up.
Xie An also smiled slightly. She raised her head and scrutinized Xiao Sheng.
Xiao Sheng was not like the other children who recognized strangers when she was suddenly looked at by so many strangers. She blinked her big black eyes and ran to Xie Luan’s side. She tugged at the corner of her clothes and asked softly, “Grandma, who are they?”
“They are Grandma’s father and mother. You have to call them great-grandma and great-grandpa,”Xie Luan said gently.
Xiao Sheng obediently called them great-grandma and great-grandfather in turn.
However, old madam Xie was extremely fond of them. She immediately got the servant to take out a box from her luggage. The moment she opened it, she saw a fist-sized golden hundred-year-old lock. Then, she looked at Xiao Sheng expectantly and asked, “Child, do you like it?”
Xie Luan was stunned.
Her mother’s aura of a nouveau riche was overwhelming.
She did not know whether to laugh or cry as she said, “Mom…”
“He’s the child that you guys mentioned before, right? Xiaoyan has good taste.”
“MMM.”
Xiao Sheng looked at Xie Luan and realized that Xie Luan was nodding gently at him. He then took the expensive gift from old madam Xie and said, “Thank you, great-grandmother.”
“Good boy.”Old Madam Xie’s heart itched when she saw this. She then thought, among the things that she brought this time, what else was suitable for this child.
Bai Jianjun calmed down after Xiao Sheng’s interruption. He walked up to Xie An and bowed.
Xie An was relieved. “Jianjun, don’t be so nervous. I’m not a Black Star Trooper anymore, so you don’t have to bow.”
“Okay, Dad.”
Xie Luan felt that Bai Jianjun was a little awkward, but she couldn’t help but smile when she saw the man’s expressionless face.
It wasn’t a good place to talk outside, so they planned to go back to the Bai Family First.
Xie An and old madam Xie naturally lived in the Bai family, and Bai Jianxun had already found a place for the servants and bodyguards to live near the noble district.
At first, those people didn’t want to be so far away from old madam Xie and old master Xie, but they were all obediently glared at by Xie An.
Even though grandfather Xie wasn’t in good health and was usually very gentle with people, everyone knew that the person who kept his word was grandfather Xie, Xie An.
Even the swift and decisive old madam Xie would listen to grandfather Xie in everything after he woke up.
In addition, if the Black Star Troopers’noble area wasn’t safe, then it wouldn’t be safe anywhere else.
