Chapter 447
Ultimately, Gu Boyi was unable to stop Ye Feimei from stuffing a small box along with a 20 million yuan check tucked inside a red envelope into Nan Xiangwan's hand.
She was overly excited, happily patting one of Nan Xiangwan's hands and refusing to let go.
Nan Xiangwan fiddled with the small box in her hand: "Auntie, what is this?"
Ye Feimei: "Oh, it's a little meeting gift for you. It's nothing too valuable, just a little moon soil your uncle brought back from the moon through his job."
Nan Xiangwan's eyes widened: "From the moon?!"
Ye Feimei: "Yes, from the moon. Do you like it, Xiangwan?"
Nan Xiangwan: "I like it!"
Ye Feimei: "Xiangwan, do you like astronomy?"
Nan Xiangwan: "I like it, I like it!"
Ye Feimei: "Next time I'll have your uncle take you to visit the astronomy bureau?"
Nan Xiangwan: "Okay, okay!"
Gu Beihuai appropriately inserted: "My dad makes rockets."
Nan Xiangwan was invigorated as expected: "Uncle, you make rockets?!"
Ye Feimei: "Of course! Next time I'll have your uncle bring back some Mars soil for you!"
Gu Boyi's scalp tingled: "We don't yet have the technology to collect soil from Mars and bring it back..."
Ye Feimei looked back and glared at him: "What did you say?"
Gu Boyi: "Oh! Alright, I'll work hard on it."
Nan Xiangwan's eyes shone brightly: "Uncle is so awesome!"
Gu Boyi chuckled awkwardly, smiling forcedly as he lowered his head to drink tea.
This will be the death of me!
Subsequently, Ye Feimei pointed at the red envelope again: "Take a look inside this too. Auntie just loves watching you open gifts!"
Nan Xiangwan obediently opened the red envelope, stunned upon seeing the enormously large amount on the check inside.
Ye Feimei: "Is it enough?"
Nan Xiangwan: "Auntie, you're so rich!"
Ye Feimei's eyes lit up: "Xiangwan, you like money?"
Nan Xiangwan: "Mm-hmm, I like it!"
Ye Feimei: "Auntie also has a siheyuan house to give you!"
Gu Boyi choked on his tea next to them, barely catching his breath.
Nan Xiangwan: "Ah? That's unnecessary."
Ye Feimei: "It's necessary! I'm transferring the deed to you tomorrow!"
Gu Beihuai timely interrupted his mother's crazy antics: "She doesn't have a Beijing household registration, so the ownership transfer won't go through."
Ye Feimei was taken aback for a moment: "Ah? Then what do we do?"
Gu Beihuai lowered his head to drink water, slowly remarking: "She can get one if she marries me."
Ye Feimei was ecstatic: "That's right! Why didn't I think of that! Son, you're so smart!"
Gu Boyi quickly stood up to stop her: "Slow down, slow down. She's still young, just turned 18. It's not the legal age yet. Don't frighten the poor girl!"
This really will be the death of me! His wife has gone mad!
Ye Feimei hurriedly looked worriedly at Nan Xiangwan: "Xiangwan, did auntie frighten you? Don't worry, auntie's not in a rush. Get married whenever you feel ready, do whatever you want. Auntie only wants to give you gifts."
Nan Xiangwan: "......"
It was overwhelming meeting Gu Beihuai’s mother for the first time. She was very lively, chatting nonstop from beginning to end, seemingly having some sort of social mania.
After Ye Feimei finally calmed down, she realized she still hadn't started cooking. So she rushed into the kitchen to stir-fry dishes, taking out everything in the fridge to cook all of it!
Gu Boyi went in pretending to help her but was actually repeatedly advising her to calm down the entire time.
Hilarious: she was unable to calm down at all!
Fortunately, although Ye Feimei cooked a lot of dishes, Nan Xiangwan ate a lot too.
The table full of food was eaten clean!
One of the pork elbows in particular made Nan Xiangwan very happy - it was delicious!
After eating her fill, Gu Beihuai appropriately got up: "We're going first."
With only a two bedroom apartment, Nan Xiangwan clearly couldn't stay here.
Ye Feimei was unhappy: "It's not even dark yet, sit a while longer!"
Gu Boyi said: "Don't disturb the youngsters having fun."
Ye Feimei then realized: "Oh, right, yes. Then you guys go have fun!"
Nan Xiangwan bid her aunt and uncle goodbye before following Gu Beihuai out.
Just as the two had walked out of the building, they saw that old man with the fierce brows standing there, glaring angrily at Nan Xiangwan.
Nan Xiangwan felt inwardly that there was something she had forgotten. She subconsciously took a step back.
Gu Beihuai was also startled, and quickly went up to apologize: "Grandpa Xin, don't get angry. Xiangwan, she..."
The old man shouted harshly, slapping Gu Beihuai to the side. Then he casually picked up a stick from the ground, pointing it at Nan Xiangwan: "You, get over here!"
Nan Xiangwan finally realized what she had neglected.
This was her maternal grandfather!
She had seen him in her family portrait at home: this old man was her maternal grandfather!
Not only did she not recognize him at first, but she had also told him "What are you looking at?"
She was done for!
Old Man Xin was already rushing over brandishing that stick.
Seeing his posture, Nan Xiangwan turned and fled without hesitation!
She made a desperate sprint, running for her life.
Old Man Xin was first stunned for a moment, then grew angrier. Gripping the stick, he gave chase!
And so one ran while the other pursued, circling the entire military base as all the residents came to know about it.
"What? What? Old Man Xin is beating his granddaughter?"
"His granddaughter has returned? When did she get here?" "What? It's the girl Gu Beihuai brought back?"
"Good heavens! Let's go watch!"
Nan Xiangwan ran from east to west, then back again. She was jumping and scurrying about, using all sorts of methods just to escape. She even climbed trees.
But she was unable to shake off her grandfather no matter how she ran.
Her grandfather was clearly advanced in years with a full head of white hair. Yet he doggedly pursued her without letting up, yelling and swearing all the while.
The strength and speed he displayed was simply horrifying!
Nan Xiangwan truly witnessed firsthand how fierce her grandfather was. She was frightened, with her heart pounding rapidly away. She knew her grandfather wasn't merely chasing - he was out to kill!
The sticks were hurled at her spear-like. Nan Xiangwan narrowly dodged them, the sticks whistling past her ears and embedding themselves into tree trunks.
My god! Such power and throwing skill!
It was preposterous!
Nan Xiangwan hurriedly picked up the pace, breaking into a desperate run. Yet all sorts of stones, chess pieces, and even chessboards kept flying at her from behind...
The methods were diverse. Her grandfather basically threw anything he could get his hands on!
Clearly the old man had flown into a fury.
Up ahead Nan Xiangwan spotted a scenic pond that wasn't very big, but enough for an escape.
So as she sprinted wildly, she accelerated before jumping hard.
First she leapt onto a tree, then swung from a branch and landed atop the decorative hill in the middle of the pond.
Having landed steadily, she sat atop the hill gasping for breath.
Finally made it with great difficulty!
Her grandfather was too powerful!
Old Man Xin was unable to enter the water on the opposite bank. He stood there glaring at Nan Xiangwan on the hill and stomping his feet angrily.
Nan Xiangwan breathed a sigh of relief, having finally found a safe place.
Yet the very next second, Old Man Xin bellowed: "Someone bring me my gun! I'll take her out in one shot!"
Nan Xiangwan: "!!!"
