Chapter 534: What If Your Grandfather Doesn’t Agree?

Mu Xichen nodded casually and said, “Yes, they are.”

Li Beinian fell silent, feeling even more nervous now.

Sensing her nervousness, he said casually, “Don’t worry, they’re rather enlightened folks.”

“And whose daughter is Shengyun?”

“That’s Eldest Uncle’s daughter. She has an elder brother, my cousin. His name is Mo Shengxing.”

“Ah… Mo Shengxing.” Li Beinian found the name familiar. “Apparently, he was involved in some earthquake relief efforts and was injured?”

Mu Xichen cast a sideways glance at her and asked, “Earthquake relief?”

“That’s right. During the earthquake in Yokokawa, he was crushed by a rock in the process of trying to rescue a child. The lower half of his body was…” crippled.

However, before she could finish, Li Beinian suddenly became alert.

That’s right.

A year later, the Yokokawa earthquake would take place!

Right now, Mo Shengxing was in perfect condition.

Li Beinian was particularly struck by the memory of this matter because Mo Shengxing was a really handsome man. A great number of people thought of him as a hero when he went on television.

At the time, it made Li Beinian sigh and think, what was the use of being a hero?

Being crippled in the lower half of his body, his life was over.

She swallowed her words. Mu Xichen gave her a sidelong glance and said, “You’re mistaken, the last earthquake in Yokokawa took place almost ten years ago. No one was crippled, although a few died.”

“Haha…” Li Beinian looked away guiltily and added, “Yes, perhaps I made a mistake. So, besides Mo Shengxing, who are you on good terms with?”

“Second Uncle has two sons and a daughter. I’m closest to Mo Shengran.” He paused and added, “We’re the same age and used to be in the same team. Later on, he was posted to the air force and marine corps, while I applied for a posting on the Special Task Force.”

“And how’s your relationship now?”

“We’re brothers.”

Li Beinian took note of this and nodded. She quickly remarked, “We’re drifting. So, who else is in the Mo family now? If we pay a visit, I will need to prepare gifts for those who might be at home.”

The man smiled and teased. “Thinking of bribery so soon?”

“What do you know, this is called etiquette!” She jabbed him and insisted, “Hurry, tell me.”

“At present, besides my grandfather, Eldest Uncle and Second Uncle, there’s only Shengge staying at home.”

“Is that your younger cousin sister as well?”

“Uh-huh, about your age and in military school. She comes home on the weekends.”

Li Beinian picked up her cell phone and opened the calendar. She realized that three days later would be Friday!

In a daze, she suddenly thought of something and asked, “You were asking if I had some time in the next few days, would it be to stay there?”

“Uh-huh,” Mu Xichen replied and continued, “My grandfather is elderly. Since it’s such a rare occasion for me to visit, I thought we might as well spend a few days with him.”

At his casual remark, Mu Xichen realized that it made Li Beinian all the more jittery.

He smiled and reached over to place his hand over hers, saying, “Grandpa has always doted on me. He will like you when he finds out that I’m married. Don’t worry.”

“Really?” She had her doubts.

The Mo family members were all military men, she was quite sure they were all stiff and traditional.

To put it bluntly, male chauvinists.

Of course, she couldn’t possibly say this to his face, so she could only put it across subtly. “Elderly folks are, inevitably, traditional in their thinking. Take my Granddad, for example, even he said that he needed a word from my parents. If you tell him suddenly that you’re married, the old man may be unprepared. And if…”

Many elderly people had certain misconceptions about actors and the acting profession.

When they thought of actors, they associated them with a certain sullied view.

Li Beinian became increasingly nervous and said, “What if your grandfather doesn’t agree, then what…”
