Chapter 396: Grandpa and Grandma Zhao
In the evening, Xiang Sichen was cooking in the kitchen, Zhao Zhuohong was helping her, and Xuanxuan was doing homework in the study.
Just then, the doorbell rang. Xuanxuan put down the book in her hand and hurried to the front door to open it.
As soon as the door opened, Grandma Zhao's nagging voice came over immediately, "I asked your father to tell us the access code a long time ago, but your mother refused to give it to us. She always rings the doorbell when she comes. If someone doesn't know, they would think we are not family!"
Xuanxuan stared at him with innocent eyes and timidly called out, "Grandpa, hello grandma."
Grandpa Zhao walked up from behind his wife and pinched his granddaughter's chubby little face. "Look at this little face, she must have eaten a lot!"
The movement at the door attracted the attention of Zhao Zhuohong and his wife in the kitchen. The man poked his head out of the kitchen and saw his parents coming. He greeted them enthusiastically, "Mom and Dad, you're here!"
"Please sit in the living room for a while. We have the last two dishes."
Seeing her son busy in the kitchen, Grandma Zhao said with concern:
"It's so hot, come out and cool down."
Upon hearing this, Xuanxuan quickly said:
"Dad, please let Mom come out and take a break. She has been busy since morning."
After hearing the little girl's words, the three adults standing there were silent for a while.
Xiang Sichen, who was in the kitchen, looked through the glass door and saw several people standing at the kitchen door, so he walked out and asked:
"Why are you standing at the door instead of going in to sit?"
Grandma Zhao glanced at her daughter-in-law and resentful in her heart that the first thing her daughter-in-law said when she saw her was not to call her "Mom" but to blame her.
The man noticed his mother's face had turned gloomy, and she must be unhappy. He quickly tried to smooth things over, "Sichen, pour mom and dad a glass of water. I can't find a cup..."
"Okay!" The woman pointed in the direction of the living room. "Mom and Dad, go sit down first. I'll pour you some water."
Xuanxuan took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to her and sneaked back to the study. She would rather write a few more papers than play with her grandparents. The little girl thought so, and the next second she really took out the Chinese paper and started to work on it.
Zhao Zhuohong did not lie. There were indeed only two dishes that were not ready. Less than ten minutes after the two old people sat down, Xiang Sichen started preparing the meal.
The two old people saw the dishes being brought to the table and walked over to the table on their own accord. They shouted towards the study, "Xuanxuan, it's time to eat! Write after you finish eating!"
"I'm coming!" Xuanxuan put down the pen in her hand and ran out.
Seeing her mother Xiang Sichen carrying a colorful carved basin, the little girl's eyes lit up instantly, "Mom, you made my favorite braised pork!"
The woman smiled and did not refute her daughter. She put the basin on the table.
Xuanxuan knelt on the stool and looked inside. It was her favorite braised pork with quail eggs!
Grandma Zhao looked at her granddaughter's greedy look and said with a smile: "When your mother gives birth to a little brother, you must give the meat to him."
Grandpa Zhao agreed, "Yes, yes, it tastes better when we eat together."
Xiang Sichen's face instantly darkened. This was also the reason why Xuanxuan didn't like her grandparents.
The little girl's face was sad, the meat in the bowl no longer smelled good, and she stared straight at her mother.
"Zhao Zhuohong, what did you tell your parents?" The woman pointed the finger at her husband. "How many times have I told you that I will only have one daughter, Xuanxuan, in this life!"
"Sichen, let's talk it over..." Grandpa Zhao saw his daughter-in-law's domineering attitude towards his son and immediately jumped out to speak for him. "We can discuss the matter of having children slowly."
The woman threw her apron on the table and said angrily, "There's no room for negotiation on this!"
Seeing her son and husband being scolded by her daughter-in-law, Grandma Zhao instantly flew into a rage: "How dare you talk to your dad like that!"
"Wow, wow, wow..." Xuanxuan started crying, "I don't like my grandparents coming to our house. We always quarrel." The little girl hid in her mother's arms.
Xiang Sichen glanced at her sad daughter, then at the table of dishes she had painstakingly prepared all morning, and finally her gaze rested on her silent husband. She sighed silently and said calmly:
"Zhuo Hong, my parents are here today, and I want you to do something for my daughter."
Zhao Zhuohong was so frightened when his name was called that he trembled and quickly nodded in agreement, "Okay, you tell me, I will do as you say!"
Xiang Sichen pushed her daughter between her and her husband. "Xuanxuan's soul is being expelled by Lin Meng's soul. She will soon no longer be our daughter..."
The other three adults present all had surprised expressions on their faces.
Zhao Zhuohong was even more confused...Who is Lin Meng?
"Do you still remember your high school classmate Lin Ziyu? Lin Meng is his biological sister." She added, "You don't forget Lin Ziyu either, do you?
He dropped out of school and went home because he was driven crazy by your bullying. His sister also dropped out of school to work in order to earn money for his medical treatment.
You are the cause of their family's tragedy."
Every word Xiang Sichen said was powerful, but Zhao Zhuohong was confused after hearing it, as if the bully his wife was talking about was not him.
"Nonsense!" Grandma Zhao was the first to object and immediately stood up to defend her son. "Honghong has always been a good student in the class. How could he bully other children?"
Grandpa Zhao expressed his doubts about Lin Meng and asked, "Sichen, Xuanxuan is fine here. Who did you hear about Lin...what's his name, Lin?"
"Xuanxuan's body will soon be taken over by Lin Meng's soul."
Grandpa Zhao clapped his hands, "Right, right, right. Regarding the soul you mentioned, why are you still so feudal and superstitious..."
"I'm telling the truth!"
Grandma Zhao snorted, "If what you said is true, there would be thunder in broad daylight."
Boom! Boom! Boom!
As soon as the old man finished speaking, there was a burst of thunder in the sky, accompanied by bright and dazzling lightning. In the bright lightning, Xuanxuan's soul floated out of her body and stood side by side with Lin Meng's soul in the living room, while Xuanxuan's body fell limply to the ground.
"Ah!" Grandma Zhao screamed, "Ghost...Ghost!"
Grandpa Zhao supported his wife, his face full of fear. The couple huddled together. Zhao Zhuohong was so surprised that she couldn't speak. She reached out and grabbed her daughter's hand, but she couldn't hold anything. The man's face showed an expression of pain and despair.
On the other hand, Xiang Sichen had a calm expression on her face. She continued:
"Now you believe what I said is true, right?" The woman pointed at Lin Meng's spirit and said, "As long as you fulfill her wish, she will leave on her own."
Zhao Zhuohong swallowed his saliva and asked nervously, "What...what wish?"
