Chapter 186: For The Sake Of a Good Family Relationship
Xiao Yun arrived back at her home to take a good warm bath and changed her clothes to her pajamas. After drying her hair, Xiao Yun remembered again of the traps that Lin Chang Lu placed to make her fool herself in the party without knowing that she had become a prey to her own game. Walking beside Lin Chang Lu wasn't at all too bad, thanks to her she could make a fairly good advertisement.
She opened her planner book and took the chance to see what she should do tomorrow. Her exam would start after another two weeks, she would have to review all the studies that she had done with Wang Li Lei but before that, she has to visit Wang Li Lei's grandparents.
The Wang elders, Wang Li Lei's grandparents are a couple who were not only strict but also hot-headed. In the past, there were many times they wanted to faint from Xiao Yun's insolent and shameless behavior but she didn't care that much about them as Wang Li Lei could handle them. But that was also the reason why he felt even more solitude. Imagining Wang Li Lei's lonely back, Xiao Yun definitely does not want that to happen again.
That being said, the next day as soon as Xiao Yun came back from her school she took care of hiring new employees for Azure with Zi Gong. Xiao Yun stepped out from the room where the interview was taken and heard Zi Ging calling her from the back.
"Boss."
Xiao Yun changed the course of her eyes and rose an eyebrow. After Chuan Huan Jing began on calling her boss, the rest of the employees and her two bodyguards also took the habit to call her by the name. She felt tacky for being called boss but had accepted easily.
"What is it, Zi Gong? Have the fabric dealer transported the fabric we will be needing?"
"Yes, this afternoon they have sent the fabric and we have come into a discussion for the shipping schedule. The worker who would be helping Mr. Chuan has also been decided. This is the documents of the workers." Zi Gong passed the documents for Xiao Yun to scanned for a moment and she nodded.
"I'll be going now, tell Huan Jing to don't forget to rest or else he would break down before the shop reopen." Xiao Yun warned and exited the building. Zi Gong bowed down and praised Xiao Yun's kindness for caring for the health of her workers, unlike any other company where they were forced to work faster.
Xiao Yun entered the car and directed Hi Gu Yan to drive her to Wang Li Lei's house. When she entered the building, she found Chuan Huan Jing sleeping at the office due to overworking, Zi Gong told her that she had pulled another all-nighter. Zhu Yi Nian on the other hand, boldly greeted her without any care even though he arrived at late afternoon.
'I thought of being a little kind but public execution is the right punishment for that traitor.' Xiao Yun smiled devilishly and was seen by Tian Yi from the rear-view mirror.
"Is the boss angry?" Tian Yi moved his mouth without giving a noise to ask to Hi Gu Yan. Hi Gu Yan replied with a shrug of shoulder indicating he also don't know and told him not to say anything as Xiao Yun seemed to be thinking of something very evil.
Tian Yi gave an okay with his finger and leaned back on his seat obediently.
Although Wang Li Lei's grandparents have their own house which is the family house, they spent almost a week at Wang Li Lei's house and were still at it to this moment due to the renovation at their house. Or so what they claimed but Xiao Yun could faintly guess that they were actually staying there to either change Wang Li Lei's thought of announcing their engagement publicly while making opportunities for Lin Chang Lu to meet him. Or perhaps they just want to have more time with their grandson.
Unlike how Xiao Yun usually comes to Wang Li Lei's house, this time she informed the servant to tell Wang Yan Zhi and Wang Yongyi of her arrival.
"Young lady, welcome back." The head maid that Wang Li Lei hired for her greeted her formally, making her feel awkward.
"Um... I'm back?" Xiao Yun saw the maid smile from her greetings and asked her. "Last time I didn't get the chance to ask what's your name."
"Thank you very much for asking my name, milady. My name is Wen Feng."
"That's a very nice name." Xiao Yun still stood at the door of the house until the servant who she asked to inform Wang grandparents came back.
"They've confirmed that you could come in milady."
"Thank you, A-Xiang." The servant followed Xiao Yun from behind and whispered meekly. "Milady, the elders' mood isn't the best now."
Xiao Yun heard the servant's worried warning and rubbed her shoulder. "Don't worry, I'll be fine." Even if wang elders do anything today, I wouldn't say anything for the sake of a good family relationship!
When the servant knocked to the family room, Wang Yan Zhi and Wang YongyiYongyi had their eye sharpened like a hawk to stare coldly at the little girl whom their grandson are very infatuated with.
"Good afternoon, grandfather and grandmother, I hope you two are well in health." Xiao Yun greeted at the spot with a spotless smile. Wang Yanzhi and Wang Yongyi have only seen Xiao Yun's once in her childhood and had never seen her since then.
They expected the little lady to become spoiled but the girl stood still and greeted them first and waited until she was given the permission to sit by them.
"Thank you, Ms. Yu. Please take a seat." Wang Yan Zhi gave off a distance between them. Like what she remembered, Wang Yan Zhi is a very elegant person who could hold back whatever she thought and offer a pleasant smile.
"Thank you very much, grandmother." Xiao Yun used an adorable tone and maintained her graceful sitting stature.
"It is quite late for you to visit us, don't you think Ms. Yu?" A sour tone came from Wang Yan Zhi.
"I'm sorry for being unable to come faster, I was on a school trip in Hangzhou for a few days and have just come back. Speaking about that, actually, I prepared something that isn't too much, but I heard that grandmother love to eat the sweets from Hangzhou." Xiao Yun explained and took out a box of traditional sweets that she had to search nearly all over the souvenirs shops to find the perfect one that she remembered to have heard from her past.
Wang Yan Zhi had a smile as she opened the box and saw her favorite sweets to be there. "Thank you very much, for your consideration, Ms. Yu."
"It's nothing much, as long as you are pleased, grandmother. Also, I have this for grandfather. I'm sorry if it doesn't suit your taste as I don't know what could be your favorite."
Wang Yongyi glanced down at the box with his cold face. "Thank you." He thanked coldly but Xiao Yun didn't take his moody face and kept on her smile.
"How is Xiao- Lei?" Wang Yan Zhi took the teacup and took a sip to ask.
"He is feeling better now and his insomnia have also gotten better." Xiao Yun spoked and read their expression of relief to hear the rigid Wang Yongyi to finally speak.
"His insomnia has finally gotten better?"
"Yes." Xiao Yun placed down her teacup. "Usually he slept only for two to three hours, with sleeping pills. I was worried that his health would be ruined because of the sleeping pills and recommended him to drink a herbal tea that could relax his nerves, since then he could sleep for six hours now."
She glanced over at the surprised written on both Wang grandparents.
"Only herbal tea? There's no secret recipe in it?" Wang Yan Zhi asked, her face looked as though she needed more explanation and Xiao Yun filled her in.
"Yes, every day before he sleeps at night I ordered Mr. Jang to prepare chamomile tea. Mr. Jang has told me that after taking the herbal tea, Li Lei's insomnia slowly healed."
Wang Yan Zhi and Wang Yongyi glanced at each other in doubt. Since Wang Li Lei's childhood and perhaps due to the after effect in his mind of the car accident, the little boy has trouble with sleep and have a worse case of insomnia. They remembered the only thing that could make him sleep was sleeping medicine and a handkerchief but that also soon lost its effect in an hour and there had been many times when Wang Li Lei have to take a stronger dose of sleeping pills.
For Wang Li Lei to be able to sleep for three hours was a miracle itself but now he slept for six hours. Wang Yan Zhi couldn't contain back her rejoice as it was shown on her face and she forgot her first intention in rejecting Xiao Yun to become his fiance.
"Then? What else did he change?" Wang Yongyi sitting beside his wife had a face of sternness but it didn't hide his interest to know his grandson's progress.
Xiao Yun slanted her had and gave along hm. "He has gotten better at speaking and he could also joke now."
"Joke?"
"Yes, he also ate more than before now. Although some times I still worry about his eating habits because he prioritizes his work first before his hunger. So I tried some easy to go food that he could snack on while working."
Wang Yan Zhi kept nodding her head up and down from Xiao Yun's words.
