Tang Yue's gaze shifted to Meng Siyu on the side. If it had not been for this matter, they would have returned to Jiang City today. Meng Siyu's vacation days were limited, and it was the perfect time to make a trip back to Jiang City. "No way," Old Sir Lian countered: "Girl, you've just barely returned to the Lian Family, how could you leave so soon? You secretly got married without even telling Grandpa, are you angry with me?" Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn novel{f}ire.net "No," Tang Yue shook her head. Old Sir Lian was like a senior member of the family, not overbearing at all but gentle, which made Tang Yue afraid of arguing back like she would with Lian He, lest she hurt the old man's feelings. "Girl, you have the blood of the Lian family flowing in you. You are a member of the Lian Family." "I know the Tang Family has treated you with great kindness, as it was the Tang Family that raised you. However, girl, we do not oppose your contact with the Tang Family, nor do we oppose you caring for the elderly members of the Tang Family in the future. But, Grandpa also wants to recognize his granddaughter, and Grandpa also wants to enjoy the happiness of a family together." "Girl, once you acknowledge the Lian family, things will be the same as before, but you'll have Grandpa's love added." "You're mad at your dad, it has nothing to do with Grandpa, right?" "If Grandpa had known earlier that you were suffering outside, he would have brought you back much earlier. You suffered a lot in your childhood. Grandpa knows that, and Grandpa sincerely apologizes to you. Can you accept Grandpa?" Old Sir Lian's words came one after another, and Tang Yue was completely unable to resist. Meng Siyu stood by without giving any opinion, whether Tang Yue recognized the Lian Family or not, for him, nothing would change. "Girl, Grandpa really wants you to return to the Lian Family." Old Sir Lian didn't put up a high stance but showed the yearning of a grandfather who wanted to acknowledge his granddaughter. "Sister Xiao Yue, I also want you to return to the Lian Family." Just off the plane, Qingyang had just returned home when he heard these words and he excitedly ran over. "Grandpa Lian, I will come to visit you often in the future," as soon as Tang Yue finished speaking, both Old Sir Lian and Qingyang looked equally saddened and disappointed, making Tang Yue feel as if she had made a huge mistake. Seeing the disappointed looks on both of their faces, especially after Old Sir Lian's previous words, Tang Yue was deeply moved. "Xiao Yang, the girl won't forgive us," Old Sir Lian said dejectedly while sitting on the sofa: "Alas, poor old me, I haven't done anything terribly wrong in my life, but in my old age, even my granddaughter doesn't recognize me." "Grandpa." Tang Yue decisively changed her way of addressing him. She knew Old Sir Lian was deliberately making that expression, but Tang Yue really was the type to be influenced by soft approaches rather than hard ones. If Old Sir Lian forcibly demanded her to acknowledge the Lian Family, she would definitely be stubborn and refuse without hesitation. But Old Sir Lian spoke softly and gently, and she found herself unable to refuse. "Ah, dear granddaughter." Old Sir Lian's mood instantly brightened, his radiant, kind smile solidified Tang Yue's previously wavering heart. If it's good then consider it maintaining a familial relationship; if it's bad, she's not forbidden from breaking off the relationship, right? "Sister Xiao Yue, welcome back to the Lian Family." Qingyang stepped forward wanting to give her a big hug, thrilled that Tang Yue was truly willing to return to the Lian Family. Just as Qingyang opened his arms halfway, Tang Yue suddenly disappeared right in front of him. "Let's talk properly." Meng Siyu shielded Tang Yue by his side, his wife was his, even if Qingyang was her brother, he was still a man. "Petty." Lian Qingyang muttered, then instantly put on a smile and turned to Tang Yue, "Sister Xiao Yue, how about I take you to Sea City during this summer vacation?" "No, we are going back to Jiang City." Meng Siyu wrapped his arm around Tang Yue and sat down on the sofa, saying, "Grandpa, Xiao Yue and I don't have much vacation time." "Humph, it's not easy to finally have you visit the Lian Family, and you're leaving just after one day?" Old Sir Lian, with an air of annoyance, huffed and puffed and then said, "Girl, I want to tell everyone that you are my granddaughter from the Lian Family." "Grandpa, please don't," Tang Yue hurriedly intervened, "Grandpa, if you do that, then I will return to Jiang City today." "Why?" Old Sir Lian looked at Tang Yue's serious expression, somewhat baffled. Being publicly acknowledged by the Lian Family as their granddaughter would mean being taken seriously and protected by the Lian Family. "Grandpa, I really don't want to be recognized every time I step out." Tang Yue considered herself simply a farmer's daughter; the thought of suddenly becoming a rich daughter, with relative reunion banquets and such, was just too tiring. She particularly disliked those settings filled with insincere smiles. "Besides, our vacation is already short, why waste our time on these irrelevant matters?" Tang Yue said with a bright smile, which made Old Sir Lian burst into hearty laughter, praising his granddaughter. Meng Siyu was pulled away by Old Sir Lian to play chess, while Tang Yue was taken around the Lian Family's villa by Lian Qingyang. The kitchen was bustling, preparing all of Tang Yue's favorite dishes. "Lian Qingyang, did you grow up here from childhood?" Tang Yue took a tour and was amazed by the sheer size of the Lian Family's villa. She finally saw those luxurious mansions of the big bosses described in novels. "Yes, but, I don't like it here. I prefer going with my aunt to get into fights." Lian Qingyang was not interested in the Lian Family villa, but he enjoyed visiting Lian Tong's place, always getting into fights there. Although he was beaten badly at first, gradually he became the king of kids and fewer people could hurt him. Tang Yue listened intently, Lian Qingyang's childhood was filled with fights and games. "What did you play when you were a kid?" Lian Qingyang asked with curiosity. Tang Yue thought for a moment and replied, "Hopscotch, jump rope, hide and seek, and in winter, snowball fights and making snowmen." "That sounds boring." Lian Qingyang immediately lost interest. Tang Yue smirked and said, "Boys and girls tend to like different things." "Let's go have some snacks." Lian Qingyang pulled Tang Yue to eat snacks and treats. The culinary offerings at the Lian Family were of a chef's standard, and the rich aroma of the green bean cakes impressed Tang Yue. "Delicious," Tang Yue praised. "This green bean cake is even better than those sold outside." "Aunt Li's exceptional skills indeed make it taste better and cleaner than the ones sold outside," Lian Qingyang said, tempted to try some as he saw her enjoying the food. "Dad, Sister Xiao Yue has agreed to be acknowledged by the Lian Family." Lian Qingyang, seeing Lian He walk in, happily shared the news. Lian He, who had been stern-faced, couldn't help but smile upon hearing this, "That's wonderful, Xiao Yue, you finally agreed to return to the Lian Family."
