Reborn: The Return of the Villainous Mr. Liu

Chapter 411 In-Laws' Meeting (2)

Great-grandma Liu was in her wheelchair, observing all the interaction going on until now with a scowl on her face. She didn't understand the excitement going on about meeting Ai's parents. She was even more frustrated because Nuo simply dragged her into the meeting rather than preferring to stay in her own room.

Great-grandma Liu glared at Jun. "You don't have to introduce me to anybody. I am sure I am uninvited here so don't take the effort."

Silence.

Xie Nuying and Zhou Yichen blinked. One tilted their head while one raised their brow.

Jun sighed. "Of course not. How can you be uninvited, Grandma?"

"Why not? After all, no matter how much everybody likes Zhou Ai here, I don't. And I don't accept your relationship with her."

She snorted. "But who cares about my opinion? Go date her, marry her or do whatever you want. Don't bother me!"

? Jinhai intervened. "Grandma."

"What? Are you going to scold me now?"

Nana quickly said, "Grandma, Ai is a really sweet girl and-"

"Sure. She is so sweet and that's why she came between Jun and Shui and broke their relationship. I don't understand why you all are so blind to the obvious fact..." she muttered in annoyance.

Jun exhaled another sigh. It was a good thing that he already informed Ai's parents about her dislike for Ai. He didn't want them to have any shocks during the meeting. But somewhere inside his heart, he still hoped things would go smoothly.

"Rather than everybody being blind to the obvious fact, it could be that you are shutting your eyes instead," Xie Nuying retorted, level-headed and placid.

There was no hint of anger detected in her eyes against what or how Great-grandma Liu seemed to not favor Ai.

Great-grandma abruptly paused and looked back at her. "What?"

"I am saying you might be closing your eyes instead."

Her brow violently twitched. "What do you mean!? Are you implying that I cannot see!?"

"Instead of the whole Liu family not being able to see, I think the problem might lie in your eyes alone."

Liu Chunhua and Nuo silently gasped and took several steps far away from Great-grandma Liu.

I smell war...Nuo wiped her forehead.

Nana coughed and elbowed her husband. She whispered. "We should do something..."

Jinhai shrugged.

"..."

She looked at Jin who equally seemed bored and unaffected. She sighed.

God help everybody...

Great-grandma Liu trembled and pointed her finger at her. "Chunhua! Nana! Did you just see how she talked to me? This is the first time they stepped into our house and she is already disrespecting me!"

Xie Nuying pursed her lips. "How am I disrespecting you? I am just sincerely stating how there might be a problem in your eyes. There is nothing to feel ashamed about admitting it. It's common to have problems in this age. Poor eyesight, poor understanding..."

Jun wished to puke blood and even Jin whose expression cracked.

Great-grandma held her chest and took a sharp breath. "You...How dare you say that I have problems! I am just fine!"

"Clearly you aren't, otherwise there is no way that you won't like my Ai."

Ai nodded. "I am a naturally lovable and warm person."

Zhou Yichen followed with a nod as well. "That's a given because she has inherited her personality from me."

Great-grandma Liu gasped at their shamelessness. "All of you..."

Ai said, "This reminds me that I said I will talk to you later. Do you want to have that discussion now?"

She banged her palm on her wheelchair's armrest. "What can you possibly have to talk about!? Don't lie your way out that you didn't separate Jun and Shui. Now you shamelessly want to be this family's daughter-in-law. I won't forgive you for this!"

"But there is nothing for you to forgive me for. Jun and Shui broke up because they realized they are not compatible."

"They are all just your excuses!"

She frowned. "How is it an excuse? What is Jun's age?"

"What?"

"I am asking you what Jun's age is?"

Her mouth twitched. "What kind of a stupid question is that? He is 25."

"What is Shui's age?"

"20. Where are you going with this?" She glared at her.

"So clearly, they are adults."

"Of course they are!" She was feeling more and more annoyed.

"Then how is it my fault if you still treat them like children who cannot decide for themselves?"

"..."

The words pierced straight into her heart as if she was exposed.

Nana fanned her face, suddenly feeling a lack of air to breathe. "It feels a little tight for some reason..."

"You..." her body trembled harder as she was unable to retort.

Ai continued calmly. "They are adults. They know very well what they want from a relationship and what they don't. If Jun finds another woman or if Shui finds another man, I don't see a point in you blaming them for their separation."

Zhou Yichen chirped. "Yes, yes, lighten up a bit, grumpy grandma. There is no need to be so hostile~"

She choked.

G-grumpy Grandma...?

"How dare you..." she shivered with rage boiling in her blood.

Xie Nuying seriously nodded. "We are gonna be family after all. As your in-law, I promise to take good care of you and fix your eyesight. Once you carefully see and observe my Ai, it's impossible that you won't love her. My daughter is cute, pretty, respectful, elegant, sensible, sensitive and has many more qualities to count."

Great-grandma Liu collapsed back on her wheelchair. She took deep, long breaths but failed to calm herself.

One nicknamed her grumpy grandma and the other was adamant about fixing her eyesight.

"You...all of you...you should be in the record of being the utmost shameless family!" She exclaimed while breathing hard.

"Shameless is fun~" Zhou Yichen winked. "You just lack imagination."

"..."

Xie Nuying pressed her lips with concern. "You shouldn't push yourself too hard. You are already suffering from poor eyesight and poor understanding. Please stay healthy. Don't add a poor heart into that list."

At this point, she simply wanted to faint.

But Xie Nuying wasn't done yet.

"If your heart got to you first, how will I fix your eyesight?"
