Chapter 292: Catching Each Other’s Eyes
In order to marry Grandma, Grandpa had even quarreled with the two elders at home. He had been punished to kneel at the door for two days and two nights to seek forgiveness and had given half of the Huo Corporation’s shares to Grandma.
“Why am I your idol? Your grandpa and I just happened to catch each other’s eyes.” When Su Xiyin thought of the past, she felt sweet and emotional. “Sheng Sheng, when do you have time to visit your great-grandpa and great-grandmother?”
The two elders at home were already in their nineties. Ci Er was the one they were most worried about. He was already very old, but he had yet to get married and have children. What would happen in the future? Having Sheng Sheng and Xiaoqi meet the old folks back home could assure them.
“Sure, Grandma. I am free on Saturdays and Sundays next month.” Ling Sheng knew that her ancestors and her grandma’s parents were over 90 years old. They were old.
The Su Family was a scholarly family and one of the few big families in China that had existed since ancient times. They did not care about fame and fortune, as they were elegant and noble.
Her ancestors had produced five prime ministers and three first-rank officials. Her grandmother’s fourth brother—her great uncle, Su Cunle—was a man who could really take on any responsibility.
“Then I’ll let the family know. Next Saturday, you will come over. There are still two days left.” Su Xiyin picked up her phone happily and sent a message.
Ling Sheng did not know why, but her grandpa had said that even if she was unwilling to acknowledge her roots and ancestors, she could at least meet her family members. She just did not want to meet them from the bottom of her heart. This was mainly because Huo Xuanzhou had not left a good impression on her, so she felt that everyone in the Huo Family other than her grandparents and father was like that.
However, the Su Family was different. They were a scholarly, well-off family. Since Grandma was so gentle and virtuous, everyone had to be nice.
Although the Huo Family was related by blood, none of her uncles were Grandma’s biological children. One could imagine how close they were. They only produced contrived family drama.
Su Xiyin sent the news to the family group chat happily. The whole family was overjoyed and got her to add Ling Sheng to the group chat quickly.
Ling Sheng entered the group and took a look. Oh my, there were dozens of immediate family members. Grandma was the youngest child in the family and was also a favorite. She had four brothers.
The youngest brother was already 60 years old and had a lot of children and grandchildren. The thought of a family of 32 people was suffocating.
Before Ling Sheng could say anything, the group chat kept asking her questions one after another. The comments flooded the chat, and one by one, they sent her red packets.
Ling Sheng was very happy when she opened the red packets and chatted with them. There were all kinds of relatives—great uncles and great aunts, the parents of her cousins, and the cousins she called brothers and sisters. Oh my, she should get to know them more in the future. The smallest packet contained 8,888 yuan.
“Grandma, can I accept red packets like this?” Ling Sheng was overjoyed. She liked receiving red packets the most.
“Why wouldn’t you? That’s nothing. When has grandma not given them red packets? I give them New Year’s money, engagement money, wedding money, sickness money, birth money, and pocket money. That’s a lot of money. You have to help grandma earn back those red packets.” After saying that, Su Xiyin sent a message in the group chat: “Don’t forget Xiaoqi!”
Ling Sheng smiled. They were really a family. They were not polite at all. However, this kind of family atmosphere was really nice. She wanted to see this group of adorable elders quickly. She swung her feet happily and shouted, “Son, come and open your red packets!”
