Chapter 112: He Couldn’t Bear Showing His Pretty Wife to Anyone
On the last night before the workday resumed, the Li family stepped foot in the Xu family’s ancestral home.
Rowan, Bianca, Irene and Old Madam Li reached there at a quarter before seven. Their arrival was welcomed by the Xu family’s main branch. Geoffrey and his family were not invited.
"Good evening," Rowan led the others, a faint smile curling on his lips, "Thank you for having us tonight."
"Come in," Andrian gestured to the inside of the house, wearing his impeccable smiling look, "We’re in-laws now. There’s no need to be too formal, isn’t it?"
Everyone exchanged greetings with the other. The young Irene’s eyes sparkled once she saw the famous actress Evelyn. Her eyeballs almost popped out of their sockets.
Rowan brought gifts to his in-laws. The paper bags and boxes were handed to the helpers.
"Hello, Old Madam Xu," Old Madam Li grinned, seemingly wanting to present her good behavior to the former, "I’m so glad that I can meet you tonight. Our grandchildren’s union is a blessing to our families, isn’t it?"
Old Madam Xu nodded at the elderly woman who was trying to flatter her. With a graceful smile on her wrinkly lips, she politely responded to Old Madam Li.
"I feel the same way, Old Madam Li. Charlene is a good child. She’s the perfect wife for my grandson. I’m hoping for her recovery soon so she can join us."
Calix refrained from laughing at the sight of his grandmother’s perfect acting in front of Leslie’s grandmother.
Old Madam Xu’s countenance didn’t show even the faintest trace of her dislike for Old Madam Li but, her tone possessed a razor-sharp edge. If the latter was not dense, she should be able to hear it.
