Chapter 1378: 1378 a family1 Chapter 1378: 1378 a family1 “I am not wronged, this is as it should be,” Xiao Qinghe said with an indifferent smile.

Xiao Chonghuan’s sharp eyes swept over Xiao Qinghe, “I presume you are Xiao Hai’s fourth son, Xiao Qinghe?”

“Indeed,” Qinghe replied neither humbly nor arrogantly, “Greetings, Master Xiao.”

“Mm.” Xiao Chonghuan gave a slight nod, acknowledging him.

Shen Yun looked at Qinghe’s both legs, “He’s a good child, pity about the legs…

Nevertheless, I heard you’ve learned medicine and have some medical skill to depend on, which is something to fall back on.”

Qinghe glanced at Su Qingyue, “It was all Qingyue’s teachings.”

Xiao Chonghuan and his wife’s gaze settled on Su Qingyue, and Shen Yun spoke, “Yue’er, may I call you that?”

Qingyue nodded with a smile.

“Truly a peerless beauty,” Shen Yun, as a woman herself, couldn’t help but exclaim, “Chuan’er is truly lucky to have married you.”

“Lady overpraises,” she responded politely.

“What ‘Lady’ nonsense,” Shen Yun said affectionately, taking her hand, “I am your husband’s mother, you should call me ‘Grandma’.”

“There’s no rush for that,” Su Qingyue’s lips curled slightly in a smirk.

She wasn’t one to curry favor; calling her ‘Grandma’ upon first meeting felt odd.

Even out of politeness, she found she couldn’t bring herself to say it just yet.

Xiao Chonghuan was somewhat displeased, “Su Qingyue, with the status of a first-class family behind me, if I ask you to call me ‘Grandma’, would that wrong you?”

“Master Xiao, what are you doing!” Xiao Yuchuan said with displeasure on his face, “If my wife doesn’t want to call you, then she won’t call you.

I haven’t agreed to acknowledge you as my father either.”

“How insolent!” Xiao Chonghuan’s facial expression changed instantly, considering that he held great power and influence, almost drowning in wealth and prestigeaEUR”whom had he met that did not bow their head to him?

And yet Chuan’er dared to take such an attitude!

Shen Yun hurriedly tried to make peace, “Master, why be angry?

When you threw Chuan’er alone in Wushan Village and didn’t bother with him all these years, remember, he is our only son.

You’re being harsh as soon as you meet him!”

“If he is my son, then he must show respect to his father!” He stood with his hands behind his back, assuming a stern and superior air.

“I don’t want to recognize you.

In that case, you are not my parents,” Xiao Yuchuan said coldly, “Please leave.

Forgive me for not seeing you out!”

Xiao Chonghuan’s eyes widened, “Xiao Yuchuan, quite bold of you, do you truly think I cannot handle you?”

“You are free to try!” Xiao Yuchuan’s expression also turned icy.

“That’s enough, enough!” Shen Yun said anxiously, “You and your son share the same blood, it’s not easy to meet after so long, don’t lose your good relationship over a trivial matter.

If Su Qingyue doesn’t wish to call me ‘Grandma’ now, it’s such a minor thingaEUR”she can call me that later.”

Su Qingyue could not help but frown slightly.

Lady Xiao seemed to be smoothing things over with her words, but why did it feel like she was pushing the blame for starting the trouble onto her?

Xiao Qinghe also said, “Master Xiao, Lady Xiao, you must be tired from the journey.

Please sit down and have some tea first, and servant girls will tidy up Yi Garden so you can rest there afterward.” Saying this, he arranged for the servants to clean up Yi Garden.

Xiao Chonghuan shot a sharp glance at Xiao Yuchuan and sat down at the table in the living room.

A servant girl brought over tea and desserts.

Shen Yun quickly offered a piece of cake to her husband, “Eat something; you, oh you, skipped breakfast to meet your son, and now you are all fired up.”

Xiao Chonghuan felt uncomfortable being reprimanded, but he picked up the tea cup nonetheless.

“My daughter-in-law, come sit here,” Shen Yun said warmly, pulling Su Qingyue closer, then she dragged Xiao Yuchuan over, “Chuan’er, you sit too.

Let’s all sit down together as a family and have a chat.”
