Chapter 196: You’re a Part of Our Family
Steadily carrying Leslie, Calix brought her to the entryway where Logan placed the wheelchair. They purposely brought the indoor one to be used in the Xu family’s ancestral home.
Old Madam Xu silently followed from behind after gesturing at the staff to disperse, leaving only Butler Gu and her personal maid. Her eyes fell on the back of Calix’s head as he lowered Leslie to the wheelchair.
Well, wasn’t his movement ever so gracefully?
Old Madam Xu was satisfied seeing how carefully her grandson treated her granddaughter-in-law. From his relaxed countenance, it seemed like he was used to this little task.
"Charlene, please make yourself at home," Old Madam Xu spoke to Leslie once she stood in front of the latter, her wrinkly face beaming with a smile, "If you need anything, just tell Grandma, en?"
Old Madam Xu was caught in excitement. She told Butler Gu to remind everyone about keeping Leslie’s appearance a secret. She also repeatedly brought up how they had to make the young lady feel welcome.
Even though Calix reassured Old Madam Xu that Leslie was almost half-recovered, the old lady still felt unsettled. She wanted to give the best welcome to her new granddaughter-in-law despite the time limit.
"Y-yes... thank you, Grandmother," Leslie slightly bowed at Old Madam Xu, her cheeks tinted in a rosy shade. Clasping her hands together, she looked straight at the old lady, "I’m sorry for not properly... greeting you, Grandmother..."
Leslie mourned the fact that she couldn’t stand up yet. She wished to greet Old Madam Xu as how a granddaughter-in-law should do. She was fond of this kindhearted old lady.
Old Madam Xu’s heart softened to see how respectful this young lady was. Slightly bending down, she took Leslie’s hands in her own.
"Don’t be sorry, child. I’m glad to know that you’re getting better. Isn’t it the most important?"
