My Evil Genius Wife

Chapter 89: Daughter in law interview!

After hanging up the phone, Xu Nuan looked at the lady approaching her who was wearing an emerald green dress with pearl jewelry. The way she approached her, with her hands clasped over her abdomen in a poised manner, made her appear as polished and gorgeous.

” You’re Xu Nuan, right? Why are you standing here? Come inside.” Lei Yaling said when she saw Xu Nuan standing in the corner of the entrance hall.

Xu Nuan blinked nervously seeing a woman who came to her and spoke gently.

” Yes. I am Xu Nuan. You’re...Mr. Han’s mother?” she asked hesitatingly.

Lei Yaling laughed shyly and said, ” Aiyyaa, I am his grandmother. Do I look like his mother? Well, people do say that I look young for my age.” she said while grinning embarrassedly.

Xu Nuan nodded. She indeed looked young for her age. She thought that she is his mother but she was afraid that she might be wrong since she has no idea about his mom.

At first, she was so nervous meeting his grandmother but seeing her laughing like this, she felt a bit comfortable around her. She doesn’t look scary at all as she had imagined.

.....

She followed her inside and was taken aback to see Han Liang sitting on the couch with his one leg crossed over the other. She frowned and glared at him. Why was he there? What a mood pooper.

” So you’re here,” he commented.

She snorted but tried to smile and walked to the sofa and took her seat. Lei Yaling saw the change in her expressions and beamed secretly.

” Sit, sit. You don’t need to feel uncomfortable here. Treat this as your ‘own’ house.” Grandma Han said while patting Xu Nuan’s back of the hand.

Xu Nuan smiled awkwardly, trying to treat it as her ‘own’ house but if she did, then it won’t remain as clean as it’s right now.

” Don’t you dare think of it as your own house. This is my house. ‘My House.'” Han Liang said firmly while pointing at himself.

“-_-”

Xu Nuan pursed her lips seeing his childish behavior. She changed her sitting posture and shifted her legs to the side while kicking his calves.

” Ouch, why are you kicking me? Grandma, she kicked me,” he complained.

” AH, I am sorry. It wasn’t intentional. I was just changing my posture.” Xu Nuan said with worried expressions. However, he noticed that hidden smile on her face which she showed while speaking.

Lei Yaling smiled seeing their exchange and felt that this girl is quite interesting. Unlike other girls she has seen before, she doesn’t fake her actions and even though they are fighting, she can see that there are no evil intentions behind her actions or words.

–

” Is she here?” Xu Nuan was looking at the paintings hung on the walls and the sculptures in every corner when she heard a gentle voice from the other side.

She turned to the source of the sound and saw a middle-aged woman entering the living room while holding a tray with teacups and teapot on it.

The woman stopped in her steps seeing Xu Nuan sitting there and her lips curled up in a smile as she walked to them, ” So, you’re Xu Nuan. I heard a lot about you from Mother and Han Liang.” she said while looking at her.

” Xu Nuan, she is Han Zihao’s mother, Cheng Zixian.” Lei Yaling whispered to Xu Nuan.

Xu Nuan, who was staring at the woman in confusion, immediately stood up and greeted her.

Cheng Zixian chuckled seeing her enthusiastically greeting and nodded in response. ” SIt, sit. You don’t need to be so conscious around me.” she smiled.

–

After the introduction section, Xu Nuan sipped on the tea and sighed. The atmosphere was much more suffocating than she had expected.

” So...you and Han Zihao are in a relationship now? How much time has it been?” Cheng Zixian asked while looking at her.

“Eh?” Xu Nuan looked at her in surprise.

Who said that they are in a relationship?

Lei Yaling glanced at Han Liang and then at Cheng Zixian and shook her head in exasperation. Who asks this question so straightforwardly? She has no tact.

Lei Yaling clears her throat and says, ” Haha. Cheng Zixian, what are you saying? I just invited her for dinner because....because I heard that she got into an accident with Han Zihao’s car. Although it’s been a time since that happened, I heard that she is also his neighbor, so I invited her.” she said while trying to not make her intentions so obvious.

Even after sending Han Liang to Han Zihao’s house, she couldn’t find out if he is dating someone or not. She heard this lady seems to be quite close to him, so she decided to check the waters by calling her over for a meal.

This way, they can get to know her, or who knows she will become their granddaughter in law soon?

Cheng Zixian blinked and wondered what’s going on. She has heard a few things from Han Liang and Lei Yaling about this girl and from their reactions and words, it seems that she is Han Zihao’s girlfriend but are they not allowed to talk about it?

Xu Nuan was sipping the tea that she was offered and was answering the questions that they were asking. She felt like she was here for a daughter in law interview. She never felt this nervous while giving interviews to any reporters before.

She used to be so relaxed that people around her asked her to be nervous. Because she tends to say whatever she wants when she gets too comfortable.

Xu Nuan pursed her lips and smiled. She was trying hard to not frown or say anything stupid. If she can’t get the guy, get his family at least. If Han Zihao is taking time, she needs to take his family on her side. But...this seems to be too difficult.

” What are you doing right now? Are you studying or working?” Lei Yaling asked. She had done some background check on her and found that she is the adopted daughter of the Gu family but from her secret spy, ‘Feng Sheng’ she found out that she is the real deal.

Because of the confusion behind her birth, she is the real heiress while Gu Xingren, who is known as the real successor of the Gu family, is not.

Xu Nuan rubbed her sweaty palms with her baggy pants and replied, ” I am working at an entertainment company as an artist manager. ”

” You’re working as an artist manager? What a joke!” Han Liang commented.

” You’re not studying? You’re so young right now.” Cheng Zixian commented simultaneously with Han Liang.

“-_-”

Xu Nuan pursed her lips and laughed awkwardly. She glanced at Han Liang and glared at him to shut his mouth.

Lei Yaling frowned and glared at the two people and said, ” It’s okay if you’re not studying. What’s so big about college degrees. Even after graduating from known universities, people become like him.” she said while pointing at Han Liang.

Xu Nuan giggled hearing her words. However, she was feeling uncomfortable about it inwardly. She could see the uncertain look in Cheng Zixian’s eyes. Even though she did not say anything, she looked a bit disappointed.

She took a deep breath and said, ” Well, I am not studying right now, but I am preparing to take admission to Xia Lin University for my graduation.” she said.

However, as soon as she said this, she cursed under her breath. ‘ Well done Jiang Yue. You’re so fu#@$ up now.’ she blinked her eyes and sighed.

” Admission to Xia Lin University? But it’s already late October now. Aren’t admissions to all courses have been closed by now?” Cheng Zixian asked. Xia Lin University is known as the top university not only in Xia city but the whole country. People from other cities come to Xia city just to take admission to that university because of its broad curriculum and unique teaching style and activities.

Xu Nuan nodded and said, ” Erm...it’s closed now but...I know a special way where you can get admission into that university even though admissions have been closed.” she said laughing awkwardly.

‘What the hell, Jiang Yue, shut up now. No more talking otherwise you are going to get yourself into big trouble. Now please don’t ask me how. I can’t tell that...please don’t..’ her eyes widened as she looked at Cheng Zixian in fear. If she asked anything more, she is going to be doomed.

” Special way? What is that? As much as I know admissions have been closed and...” Cheng Zixian was speaking when her words were interrupted by an icy cold voice.

” What are you all doing right now?”
