《Remember Self-Control: Bossy Husband Loves Me Deep to Soul》C9. Back to See Grandfather
Advertisement
At the weekend, the sky is blue and clear, with the sun shining brightly.
After being on a long business trip, Gong Siming’s mother finally returns to the villa together with Gong Siming’s grandfather, even Gong Siming’s father who usually has heavy official duties hurries back as well.
“Grandfather, watch your step.” Supporting grandfather with her hand, Si Wan carefully reminds him of looking at the road.
Holding Si Wan’s slender arm, grandfather mumbles with dissatisfaction, “Wanwan, why are you so skinny?”
Meanwhile, he coldly glances at the couple following him. Yan Xiuya keeps silent for a second, knowing better not to retort.
Si Wan responds immediately, “Grandfather, I eat a lot but do not gain weight. This is the body constitution many girls dream of.”
“For what purpose do girls become that thin? It’s better to gain some weight to keep healthy.” Patting her on the hand, grandfather inquires after her well-being all the way, to which Si Wan answers in a soft voice one by one.
After the hosts take seats in the living room, the servants start to serve tea hurriedly but in order.
While grandfather and Gong Siming’s father are talking about official business, Si Wan tenderly hands the tea to Gong Siming’s mother, who still holds a serious face and takes a glance at upstairs. In a slightly unhappy tone, she asks, “Si Wan, where is Siming?”
Si Wan avoids her sight unconsciously, “He…”
Yesterday she intended to inform him by telephone, but as she remembers nothing happened at the drunken night, she failed to give him the call after a long consideration.
It can be seen that the look of Gong Siming’s mother turns unpleasant at once. Observing her countenance, Si Wan quickly replies, “Mum, Siming is busy dealing with corporate affairs in the company, he will come back later.”
Before Gong Siming’s mother opens her mouth, grandfather turns around slowly and gives a snort. He knows clearly in his heart that the brat would not like to return at all.
Finding Si Wan’s embarrassment, grandfather sighs, “Wanwan, the brat is cold, and that’s his temperament. You’ll have to be generous and considerate to that cold fish. If you are bullied, just tell me and I will back you up.”

“You grandfather is right, Wanwan, the bad character of the brat must have caused your grievance.” Gong Siming’s father tries to console Si Wan, “Take care of yourself. If Gong Siming does something wrong to you, just tell me, and I will teach him a lesson.”
Si Wan smiles with shyness, “Grandfather, father, we’re good.”
Trying to stop the reprimand to her son, Gong Siming’s mother changes the topic and asks Si Wan about her work, “I’ve heard that you invited the model Julie to be the spokesperson for our collection of ‘Angel’ jewelry, how about the effect?”
Si Wan explains the current situation briefly, and then she explains further more, “In the long run, Julie is very suitable to the collection of ‘Angel’ jewelry. Although at present the reaction in the market is not enthusiastic enough, the reviews are absolutely positive.”
Gong Siming’s mother nods, “In the early stage, we should sell by word of mouth; only a steady development could finally survive.”
Si Wan breathes a sigh of relief inwardly. In face of this serious mother-in-law, she always feels a little uneasy especially when meeting her alone.
After a short moment, grandfather remembers something suddenly, “Wanwan, I haven’t seen your grandfather for a long time, let’s go to visit your family later.”
After a pause, grandfather looks at her and says, “Call the brat. Tell him to go with us.”
Si Wan hesitates, “Grandfather, he is busy with his business…”
His face turns somber, and his anger at Gong Siming becomes increasingly obvious, “What can even make him not free for a meal?”
He points at Si Wan’s smartphone, “Call him now, if he dares to refuse, he’ll see whether I will break his legs.”
When grandfather Gong was young, he was also famous for his fiery temper in the army. Even after so many years, his temper has not totally changed; when being irritated, he will also act like a stern gangster.
Holding the phone in her hand, Si Wan feels upset, “He probably won't answer the call.”
After an inner struggle, Si Wan dials the number; Ward’s voice goes through the phone, “Young hostess?”

Maintaining her countenance, Si Wan breathes a sigh of relief. It’s better than being hung up or not answered.
She asks calmly, “Ward, where is Siming? I am looking for him.”
Keeping her countenance, she takes a glance at grandfather’s expression, and then feels more and more worried.
But Ward asks her in reply, “Young hostess, Boss Gong is now at the home of old marshal, don’t you know that?”
“At my grandpa’s home?” Si Wan is surprised.
Si Wan’s grandfather is a marshal. She and Gong Siming knew each other since a long time ago because of their same military family background. Si Wan fell in love with him at the first sight, after which she has been trapped by the man. But the true love in Gong Siming’s heart is always Feng Ling.
After the call, Si Wan finally calms down. She tells grandfather Gong the truth, “Grandfather, Siming has already arrived there.”
Grandfather Gong gives a snort, “That's more like it. Let us start our visit, too.”
Grandfathers Gong and the Siwan’s grandpa are battle companions. They have experienced various difficulties and challenges together, after which their friendship becomes firm. When seeing each other, grandfather Si jokes, “Are you in bad health? Spending so much time recuperating?”
Grandfather Gong retorts happily, “Won’t die for now. You old guy, still look hale and hearty.”
Looking at each other, the two seniors start to laugh, “Have a seat.”
“Uncle Si, please enjoy your chat with my father. I’ll go to the kitchen.” Gong Siming’s mother goes to help cook. Being clingy to his wife, Gong Siming’s father also follows, “I will go with you.”
Grandfather Si smiles and turns to Si Wan, “Wanwan, come and sit here.”
Si Wan secretly takes a look at Gong Siming sitting on the other side. Gong Siming shows no intention to look at her and just sits on the sofa beside grandfather Gong, after which he receives a warning stare from his own grandfather.
Gong Siming maintains his composure, as if he didn’t notice the stare.
Si Wan lowers her head. To hide her bitter smile, she goes to fetch tea and then sits beside her grandfather, “Grandfather, this is your favorite tea, Biluochun Tea (a special brand of green tea).”
“It seems that you still have a conscience, for remembering what your grandfather likes.”
Si Wan grumbles, “Grandfather, what are you talking about?”
For not seeing him for a long time, Si Wan misses her grandfather very much. The two start to talk about domestic trivia, which makes grandfather Gong very jealous, “Wanwan, now you have your grandfather Si, so I’m ignored?”
Grandfather Si gives him a snort, “Wanwan is my granddaughter, is there anything wrong if she talks with me?”
It seems that the two seniors are about to quarrel with each other again in a moment, so Si Wan smiles and picks up the tea to ease the atmosphere, “Grandfather, please drink tea.”
The two seniors give each other a snort. Finding Si Wan a little awkward, Gong Siming calmly draws back his sight, “Grandfather, recently the company has some trouble, and our opponent is related to the army…”
After the brief interlude, Gong Siming talks with the two seniors about company’s affairs. They manage to analyze the gains and losses, making quite clear the benefit relationships interwoven with the army.
The three people talk together freely. Even in face of two experienced veterans, Gong Siming is not at disadvantage as a youth. His words are well-organized; his expression looks imposing, and his outline feels fierce and cold. When his lips move, a low and hoarse voice is flowing out, making people fascinated by it.
Si Wan has not seen the kind side of Gong Siming for a long time. She loses herself for a while. Such an elegant and graceful Gong Siming is totally different from the one of vicious appearance when in face of her!
Thanks everyone very much; your support is really greatly appreciated. We will try our best to provide steady updating. ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤
