Chapter 566: 568 Making a Mistake (7)_1
Feeling someone’s gaze, Che Huan looked up and saw the Old Madame of the Qin Family.
When their eyes met, the Old Madame felt her heartbeat suddenly speed up, tensing to the extreme.
Staring at Che Huan, she swallowed hard, momentarily at a loss.
The Old Madame of the Qin Family? Her grandmother!
Che Huan, sensing something off in the way the Old Madame was looking at her, unconsciously furrowed her brows and slowed her pace.
Huo Jinnan also stopped and naturally wrapped his arm around Che Huan’s shoulder, his voice low and mellow, "Huanhuan, let’s go over and say hello."
Che Huan hummed in response, glancing at Huo Jinnan, seemingly catching on to his thoughts, and followed his steps towards the direction of the Qin family’s elder master and the Old Madame.
Watching Che Huan and Huo Jinnan approach, the Old Madame suddenly found her eyes moistening, a bitter pain gripping her, blurring her vision, "Huanhuan..."
Just a step away, Huo Jinnan gently nudged Che Huan forward, and she smiled at the Qin Family’s Old Madame, "Hello, Grandma."
The Old Madame of the Qin Family, unsure of what to do, smiled and nodded, suddenly gripping Che Huan’s hand tightly.
It was so forceful that it made Che Huan somewhat uncomfortable.
The elder master of the Qin Family affectionately spoke up, "Old lady, look at you, you’ve frightened the child."
"Oh? Have I?" The Old Madame came to her senses and quickly released Che Huan’s hand, smiling while tears streamed down, "Look at me..."
She looked at Che Huan, "Huanhuan, it’s just how it is when people get old. Did I pinch you too hard?"
Che Huan smiled back, "No."
With a deep breath, the Old Madame stepped forward and looked at Che Huan intently, "Such a good, well-behaved child."
She squeezed Che Huan’s hand, looking down at it, "And this hand is quite pretty too."
"..."
Standing there, Che Huan glanced at Huo Jinnan.
Huo Jinnan stood quietly by her side, lit a cigarette, holding it in his hand, keeping an eye on the reactions of the Qin family’s elder master and the Old Madame, already having a sense of the situation.
The Qin Family’s elder master looked at Huo Jinnan, "Jinnan, right? I always hear Xiaosan mention you, thank you for taking care of and protecting Huanhuan."
Huo Jinnan flicked the ash lightly, his voice deep and magnetic, "I am her husband, it’s my duty."
Just as the Qin Family’s elder master was about to speak, he saw Qin Moting and Wen Ru approaching.
Qin Moting glanced at the elder master and the Old Madame, "Dad, Mom."
The Old Madame looked at Qin Moting with displeasure, "Look at that face, could I possibly harm Huanhuan?"
Qin Moting was silent, looking at Che Huan, somewhat relieved to see that his parents had not embarrassed her.
The elder master looked at Qin Moting, "Moting, bring Xiaoru to the house for the Mid-Autumn Festival."
Qin Moting looked at Wen Ru, "Is that okay?"
Wen Ru faced the elder master and the Old Madame, "Uncle Qin, Auntie Qin, it’s been a long time."
The Old Madame, lacking confidence, looked at Wen Ru.
Sighing, the Qin Family’s elder master turned to Wen Ru, "Xiaoru, I am very sorry about what happened back then. Every year, your aunt and I have been paying respects at your parents’ graves, and although it cannot make up for anything, it is our heartfelt gesture."
Wen Ru looked at the elder master, having heard about it from her brother, she never expected the ones who had been visiting her parents’ graves all these years to be the Qin Family’s elder master and the Old Madame!
Ji Yan, seeing reporters starting to swarm their way, quickly interjected, "Elder Master, Old Madame, Mr. Qin, shall we talk in the car, or go back and talk slowly? I see the reporters coming."
