Forced to Date a Big Shot

Chapter 296 - Hello, Granny!



Chapter 296: Hello, Granny!

Xiang Huai’s mother… Wasn’t that her mother-in-law?

At this thought, Xue Xi instinctively shouted at his phone, “Hello, Granny.”

After shouting, Xue Xi, who’d had a short-circuit in her mind for the first time, slowly typed out a few question marks on her head: “…?”

What did she just say?

She widened her misty eyes and was momentarily speechless. When she turned around, she saw Xiang Huai holding back his laughter.

His exquisite features were exceptionally hard and were well-defined. When he smiled, his expression softened, making his aura less cold.

A female voice sounded from the other end. “Hello, Daughter-in-law!”

Xue Xi: “…”

The other party continued, “This is my phone number. If Ah Huai doesn’t treat you well, call me and I’ll fly over to beat him up!”

The flustered Xue Xi tried her best to reply calmly, “… Oh.”

“Oh, right, the new year is coming soon. Do you need anything? Or do you want to visit me and his father?”

Xue Xi: “?”

“Are you in Bin City? Anyway, good child, how old are you this year?”

Xue Xi: “… 18.”

“What?!” The other party was shocked. “Get Xiang Huai to answer the call.”

In a daze, Xue Xi passed the phone to Xiang Huai, but when she got close to him, she heard her mother’s voice coming from the phone. “You beast. She’s only 18 years old. How can you do that?”

Xiang Huai: “…”

Xue Xi: “…”

“Alright, alright. You’ve already settled everything. Your father and I should clean up your mess. Give me the young lady’s address. Your father and I will visit her and have her engaged to you first! When she reaches the legal age to get married, we’ll get you to marry her!”

Xiang Huai: “… That’s not necessary.”

Xiang Huai’s mother: “??? What do you mean? You don’t intend to take responsibility for the young lady?”

The corners of Xiang Huai’s lips twitched. “It’s just that she doesn’t intend to make me take responsibility for the time being.”

His identity as the founder of the God of Fortune Corporation had frightened Ye Li and Xue Sheng. If his parents really rushed over and met them, wouldn’t Ye Li and Xue Sheng be even more frightened?

Moreover, the little kid had yet to accept him!

The other party paused and suddenly smiled. “Hahahaha! I understand!”

Xiang Huai: “?”

“Have you not caught her yet?”

“…”

“Hahaha, you’ve been outstanding since you were young and always put on a dead face. Who would like you?! If I were a young lady, I would also stay far away from you!”

“…”

Was this his biological mother?

Xiang Huai said, “I’m hanging up.”

Before hanging up, he heard his mother say, “Then don’t come back for the new year. You can come back when you’ve settled things with the young lady. Otherwise, how can you have the face to go home for the new year?”

Xue Xi: “…”

No wonder Xiang Huai said that he had not decided where to spend the new year.

She suddenly pitied him.

Time passed very quickly and it was already New Year’s Eve.

Xiang Huai carried a heavy gift and respectfully visited them, making Xue Sheng and Ye Li smile. They appreciated how, despite actually being high and mighty, Xiao Xiang had set aside his identity.

He lowered his stance and continued addressing Xue Sheng as “Uncle.” This made Xue Sheng and Ye Li’s anxious hearts slowly relax after they found out about his identity.

When they heard that he was not coming home for the new year, they’d asked him to stay for a meal.

During the meal, Xue Sheng suddenly thought of a question. “What do your parents do?”

Xiang Huai slowly said, “Civil servants.”

Realization dawned on Xue Sheng and he asked, “If you don’t go back during the new year, won’t they miss you?”

Xiang Huai sighed. “They’re even busier during the new year.”

Just after he said this, a piece of news was played on the television: A certain leader in China had brought his wife to a certain area to have fun with the people.

At this point, Xue Sheng also came to a realization. “That’s true. During the new year, there will be more official matters.”

The television happened to play the conversation between the two leaders. His wife also said a few words.

Xue Xi looked over when she heard the voice, but because she had looked over too late, the television had already cut the image and transitioned into another piece of news.

However, she frowned.

For some unknown reason, the female voice on the television sounded a little familiar…

However, she did not think much of it.

After dinner, Xiang Huai was left to spend the new year with them.

On New Year’s Eve, they also stayed in Bin City. Xue Sheng and Ye Li drove to the Xue family home to pay their New Year greetings. Although they had completely cut off all ties with the Xue family, they would never be able to repay their parents for giving birth to them.

Xue Sheng planned to pay his respects to his relatives and hometown in the future.

With Mr. Xiang backing them up, Old Master Xue and Xue Gui had been very quiet recently and did not dare to make things difficult for them.

Song Wenman also found an excuse and followed Ye Lai back to their bedroom. Instantly, only Xue Xi and Xiang Huai were left in the living room of the Xue family’s villa.

The television was playing the New Year’s Gala. Xiang Huai was arranging melon seeds and mandarin for Xue Xi. Xue Xi ate them while holding a chemistry book in her hand.

Xiang Huai: “Little kid, stop reading. Look at me.”

Xue Xi looked up and took a glance before retracting her gaze. “Why should I look at you? There are no words on your face!”

Xiang Huai: “Yes there are.”

Xue Xi looked up seriously and took a closer look before shaking her head. “There aren’t, though?”

Xiang Huai smiled. “It’s written all over my face that I like you.”

Xue Xi: “…”

So, was she being confessed to?!

She had almost become immune to Xiang Huai’s flirtatious words!

The corners of Xue Xi’s lips twitched. Just as she was about to say something, Song Wenman, who was in the bedroom, said, “Xiao Xiang, come here and help me take a book from the bookshelf above.”

Xiang Huai raised an eyebrow, stood up, and slowly walked toward the bedroom.

Only Xue Xi was left in the living room.

Her phone rang. She picked it up and realized that it was a congratulatory message from Gao Yanchen. He had even especially sent it in advance because he was afraid that the signal would be bad in the early morning.

Seeing this message, Xue Xi replied: “I wish you a happy new year, and I wish that you will get into Huaxia University!”

Little Flame: “Smile.jpg”

Little Flame: “I’ll definitely make it!”

This confident tone… If Xue Xi did not know that his foundation was too poor, she would probably have believed it! However, she believed in Little Flame!

However, after sending the message, she exited the chat and stared at Omnipotent Boss on WeChat for a while before sending him a message: “Teacher, Happy New Year.”

Ding!

She paused and realized that Xiang Huai’s phone had landed on the sofa. At this moment, the screen lit up and a message appeared.

She instinctively looked over.

“…”
