Chapter 80: Chapter 80 I’m Still Taking Sides (2)_1

Xia Wan’an did not reply to the message.

Han Jingnian stared at the screen for a while, then tapped on her profile picture. It was a girl’s Q avatar, the character in the picture had a chubby face and was sound asleep on the bed, so deeply asleep that a large bubble was coming out of her nose.

The whole picture was cute and adorable, through the lovely Q character, the vague outline of her could be seen.

Han Jingnian was so absorbed in looking at it that his fingertip accidentally tapped on the avatar and he entered Xia Wan’an’s WeChat homepage without even realizing it.

When he came back to his senses, he looked down to see the signature under Xia Wan’an’s profile picture — Your casual smile has become my new emoticon.

Han Jingnian: "...."

She seemed very different from the girl he remembered...

...

After leaving Zhang Te’s chat box, Xia Wan’an couldn’t resist tapping on the new friend in her WeChat contacts.

She stared at the friend request sent by "Han Jingnian" for a while, thinking about what he had done to her last night, she fiercely pursed her lips, and in the end, pretended as if she hadn’t seen anything and closed WeChat.

It was almost time to finish work. Xia Wan’an packed up her stuff, then called a car to go to the Han Family’s ancestral home.

Every Monday was the day she had to go to the Han Family’s old house for dinner. This was a rule set by Han Jingnian’s grandmother. No matter how busy the family was, they had to have a family reunion dinner every Monday.

However, most of the time, this "reunion" dinner wasn’t very joyful, because the chances of Han Jingnian attending were extremely low. In the two years since she married him, she’d only run into him three times at these Monday dinners. One of these three times was at a birthday party for his grandmother, and the other two times were when his grandmother was not feeling well, and he came to visit her and was forcibly held back by the grandmother.

Of course, as his wife, she didn’t have the luxury of coming and going as she pleased, with her husband absent and no one to back her up.

As soon as Xia Wan’an left the office building, she saw the car she’d requested waiting by the roadside.

Traffic was always congested on Mondays. The twenty-minute journey today took a full fifty minutes before she finally arrived at the Han Family’s old house.

After Xia Wan’an paid and got out of the car, she saw Lu Yangui, who was busy trimming flowers and plants in the garden with a servant.

Lu Yangui was Han Jingnian’s elder sister-in-law, that is, Han Zhijin’s mother. Despite being fifty-five years old, she showed hardly any signs of aging and looked as if she were in her thirties.

Lu Yangui had a good temper and always spoke in a mild tone. Her first reaction upon seeing someone was a pleasant, toothless smile which gave people a very comfortable feeling.

Xia Wan’an had known Han Zhijin for many years and was familiar with Lu Yangui. Therefore, after marrying Han Jingnian, it took her a while to stop mistakenly calling Lu Yangui "Auntie Han" and start correctly addressing her as "Elder Sister-in-law".

As she got closer, Xia Wan’an called out: "Elder Sister-in-law".

Hearing her voice, Lu Yan Guei instantly put down her scissors, cheerfully called out to Xia Wan’an and then commanded the servant next to her to move the orchid to the study room. Following this, she went inside the house with Xia Wan’an, "Grandma was wondering why you were not here as it is the usual time. Why did you come so late today?"

"I don’t know what happened today, the traffic was especially bad."

"..."

Once inside the house, the grandmother had already been informed of Xia Wan’an’s arrival and came out of her room.

Grandmother was very fond of Xia Wan’an. Despite only a week of not seeing each other, as soon as Xia Wan’an appeared, the grandmother attentively asked her: "An’an, how have you been? Is your work going smoothly? Is anything bothering you?"

"Grandmother, I’m well. Work is good, and so is my health..." Xia Wan’an was just about to ask how the grandmother was when she heard the ding-dong of an elevator not far behind them.

"Is it Zhijin who’s back?" said the grandmother as she turned to look at the elevator.

"It should be Zhijin." Lu Yangui replied.

Xia Wan’an didn’t say anything, but looked in the direction of the elevator with the two of them...
