Chapter 93: Is It Because of Your Granny?Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Such inexpensive yet valuable gifts were, of course, the first choice of a birthday gift Mu Huan intended to give her grandma.

“I don’t think your grandma would like such gifts.”

Mu Huan: “…”

Well, that was indeed so. What the old lady meant by “a generous gift” was something expensive, not the type of meaningful gifts where only the thought counted. Nonetheless, if it was given by Bao Junyan, all she could do was to accept it with a smile and claim that she liked it!

“I heard that she’s a Buddhist, so I got my secretary to get her a jade Buddha.”

Taken aback by this piece of news, she asked right away, “You know when her birthday is?”

The gift had even been prepared!

“Before I went abroad, I received an invitation from her.” Thus, he got his subordinate to prepare a birthday gift.

Mu Huan: “…”

Is Grandma worried that I won’t mention it to him, hence, the double insurance?

“If you want to give her a calligraphy piece or an artwork, though, we shall do just that.” Ever since the man came back from abroad and saw that piece of news where Bai Xuexian was washed clean of her foul image, he’d been very dissatisfied with Matriarch Mu and her family.

His reply took her by surprise. “Ah?”

Bao Junyan reached out to caress her head. “Do you not want to give your grandma an expensive gift and thus want me to write her a birthday greeting?”

Her grandma is notorious for her greed for money and concern for image. How could she possibly not know this?

Despite knowing very well that her grandma will surely want me, her grandson-in-law, to give her a generous gift, she actually requested me to write a set of words for the elderly one instead. It’s clear that she refuses to do so at all.

Mu Huan’s eyes bulged wide in surprise.

D*mn! Trust him to see through my plan!

To think I even said it with much sincerity!

“Hubby, I… I…” She wanted to find an explanation for herself.

“You’re not wrong for doing so since she practices favoritism.” He had previously gotten someone to investigate the abuse his wife had received during her childhood. Even though no results showed that the elderly woman had ever abused her, the former, as her biological grandma, not intervening in the issue was a form of abuse as well.

Hence, instead of being angry, he was rather satisfied with her current behavior.

His wife was no fool, after all.

As she looked at her husband, a surge of grat.i.tude suddenly overwhelmed her. He… really treats me very well! Having seen through my thoughts, not only did he not blame me for doing so, but he also sees it as justifiable. From the look on his face, he even seemingly wants to praise me for it.

Right at that moment, he asked an unexpected question out of the blue. “Since you’re not foolishly filial, then why did you still attend the matchmaking session back then?”

According to what she said previously, she was forced to attend that event, but when he wanted to stand up for her, she did not want him to do so. Thus, he had the impression that she was too obedient and foolishly filial for her own good — doing things as told despite her reluctance and wanting to get along with her family and be filial to her grandma even when she knew her family did not treat her well at all.

From the looks of it now, though, she did not seem to be foolishly filial.

Mu Huan: “…!!!”

Why on earth is he suddenly asking this?! Why is he reminded of this?!

“Is it because of your granny?” He suddenly recalled PA w.a.n.g telling him that his wife was taken away by her granny at the age of 11 and that they lived together until her granny suffered from a stroke early in the year. It was only for the sake of her granny receiving better medical treatment that she returned to the Mus.

When he first heard about this, he did not bother showing any concern for his wife’s granny. Thinking about it now, it seemed a little irresponsible of him.

Since he had married her, then he should take responsibility for her and must no longer be so unconcerned about her affairs. All he asked for was that she be obedient and that she does not come bothering him.

Feeling alarmed, Mu Huan knew that they must not continue with this topic. Otherwise, it would catch his attention. And if he were to investigate the matter, everything would be over!
