Chapter 21: Chen Family Meeting

Grandpa sighed and said, “Then let her move her household register back. Some things can’t be forced.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Ran Ran walk in with Chen Chen following behind her.

“Hello, Grandpa. You’re back from handling some matters with Dad.” Bai Ran ran forward enthusiastically to greet him. She did not expect to see Grandpa the moment she returned. Then, she did not need to ask Grandma about the household register, and could just ask Grandpa directly.

“I returned this afternoon. I was just about to ask Ran Ran to come back for a meal. I didn’t expect you to come.” When Grandpa saw Bai Ran, the corners of his eyes curved into crescents. The wrinkles on his face deepened, and he looked very amiable.

“I was afraid Grandpa would say I came uninvited!” Bai Ran said with a smile.

“Of course not. Our Ran Ran is so obedient.” Grandpa Chen smiled and touched Bai Ran’s head.

“Grandpa, there’s something I want to tell you.” Bai Ran thought about it and decided to be more direct.

Grandpa knew what Bai Ran wanted to say. He let go of her hand and stopped her. His smile faded a little as he said, “Let’s talk later. Eat first.”

“Okay, I’ll listen to you,” Bai Ran replied silently.

At the dining table, the entire family was gathered.

When Chen Chen’s father returned, he had also heard about the situation at home. When he faced Bai Ran, he suddenly felt an indescribable heartache. It was all his son’s fault, how could he not even cherish such an obedient wife!

When they sat down, the Chen family arranged for Chen Chen and Bai Ran to sit together.

At the table, Chen Chen’s mother signaled to her son with her eyes. “Pick up some food for her.”

Chen Chen understood immediately, but when he thought of the man at the entrance tonight, he felt uncomfortable. He thought to himself, why should he serve her?

He placed his chopsticks on the table and said to Bai Ran in front of the entire family, “Stay away from that man in the future!”

“What? Ran Ran, you already have a boyfriend?” Chen Chen’s mother and grandmother shouted at the same time.

“Ah, don’t misunderstand. That person is a friend of mine from the advertising company. He sent me over tonight. There’s nothing else,” Bai Ran explained.

“Yes, he’s so proactive!” Chen Chen rolled his eyes at Bai Ran. “Don’t forget that you have a husband.”

The four elders of the Chen family looked at each other in dismay. What was going on?

Although Chen Chen had said in the beginning that Bai Ran wanted to get a divorce, the four of them knew very well that it was because Chen Chen had a woman outside. After all, this had been reported by the media. Chen Chen really wanted to give that woman a marriage. Furthermore, they all believed that Bai Ran could not have found another person in such a short time to get a divorce.

But today… was Chen Chen jealous?

The four of them looked at each other and thought about it. The two of them had a chance.

“Soon, I won’t have a husband,” Bai Ran replied. Then, she turned to her grandfather and said, “Grandpa, actually, I came back today to tell you that I want to move my household register out before I can settle the divorce procedures. I wonder if Grandma has told you.”

“Ran Ran, your Grandma told me about this today, but I don’t know where it is. Can I look for it these days?” Grandpa began to find an excuse.

“Yes, you shouldn’t be in a hurry. After all, you said earlier that the man Chen Chen was talking about isn’t your partner,” Grandma Chen probed.

“Grandma, I’m not anxious. I’m just afraid that our Young Master Chen will be anxious.” Bai Ran looked at Chen Chen and smiled affectionately at Grandma.

“Look at how much you’ve hurt Ran Ran to make her say that!” Grandma Chen glared at Chen Chen.

“Okay, Ran Ran, as long as you’re not in a hurry.” Grandma looked at Chen Chen and had a plan. She said, “Bring that boy over for me to see in two days. I’ll judge his character for you. If he’s not bad, I’ll wish you all the best as well.”

Grandma did the opposite and deliberately provoked Chen Chen.

Indeed, before Bai Ran could reply, Chen Chen began to rebut. “Grandma, I’m your biological grandson. You don’t have to be in such a hurry to cheat on your own grandson.”

Grandma was overjoyed. This kid was so jealous.

“I wonder who’s trying to cheat on himself. Our Ran Ran is now in an advertising company. There must be a lot of people chasing after her now. There must be more than just the men you see.” Grandma continued to add fuel to the fire.

“Ran Ran, I’m also a very open-minded person. I don’t object to you doing these jobs, but it’s always easy for some bad people to appear in this kind of place. This is also why I want to keep an eye on you. You have to keep your eyes wide open when you work there,” Grandma reminded her. It not only agitated her grandson but also reminded Ran Ran.

“Don’t worry, Grandma. I’ll be careful. I won’t let myself fall into those messy things.” Bai Ran nodded obediently.

“That’s more like it!” Chen Chen felt more at ease when he saw this. It was good that she knew to keep herself clean..
