The courtyard was decorated with lanterns and streamers, with the word "longevity" hanging on them, making it look very festive.
Li Xuan held Wu Cong's hand and walked into the courtyard. When the relatives and servants at the side saw this, their expressions were very unnatural, but they still had to squeeze out a smile and greet him.
There was nothing she could do. Although Wu Cong was a junior, she was powerful and had a high status. She was now the head of Wuzhou Group. Even her father did not dare to speak loudly when he saw his daughter. The only person in the Wu family who could suppress Wu Cong now was the Matriarch.
"Aiyo, Pin 'er is back. Quick, quick, let auntie take a look.”
As soon as he stepped into the courtyard, a woman in her fifties walked out with a big smile on her face. She was the first wife of Wu Cui's father, and also the mother of Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang, Xiang Lifeng.
Wu Cong nodded slightly. She had never had a good impression of this woman. She was a typical shrew and snobbish. She was the kind who would get along with whoever was stronger.
"Hello, Auntie." Compared to Wu Cong's cold attitude, Li Xuan appeared very polite and greeted him with a smile.
Xiang Lifeng glanced at Li Xuan, and her eyes revealed a hint of surprise. It was like the expression of an old auntie when she saw a young hunk. She also smiled and said,"Yo, how are you, son-in-law? You've become even more handsome after not seeing you for a long time!”
Compared to the cold words of the Wu Yuanqing brothers, their mother was much more polite. Of course, this had a lot to do with Li Xuan's looks.
"Where's Grandma?" Wu Cui saw Xiang Lifeng staring at Li Xuan and felt uncomfortable all over, so he asked.
"Oh, Mom is in the inner hall. She's waiting for you guys to come back. I'll take you there.”Xiang Lifeng said.
"No need. We'll go by ourselves."
After saying that, Wu Cui took Li Xuan's hand and walked towards the inner hall. When the two of them disappeared from Xiang Lifeng's sight, the woman's smiling expression instantly turned gloomy.
"Mom, that kid seems to really have feelings for Second Sister?”Wu Yuanqing walked over and said with an ugly expression.
"If they really give birth to a son in the future, then Wu Zhou will really benefit from that kid surnamed Li in the future.”Wu Yuanshuang was also furious.
If an outsider came to Wu Yi and had a son, then there was a high chance that the person who would inherit Wu Zhou in the future would be Li Xuan and Wu Yi's son. Their faction would definitely be slowly sidelined as time passed. In the end, they would probably have nothing to do with the entire Wu Zhou. This was the reason why they hated Li Xuan the most.
Xiang Lifeng sneered and said indifferently,"Don't worry, it's all an act. I've lived for so long. Do I really have feelings for you? I can tell at a glance. Wu Hui is such a proud person. "Just wait and see. After the Matriarch dies, Wu Cong will kick Li Xuan out himself without us saying anything.”
The Wu brothers looked at each other and heaved a sigh of relief.
In the Wu family's inner hall, the Matriarch was currently fiddling with a potted plant. Her hair was white and her body was slightly wrinkled. Her face was full of traces of time, but her turbid eyes looked soul-stirring and full of energy. Her entire person was also very energetic.
"Grandma."
When Wu Cong saw the Matriarch, he immediately ran over with a smile like a young girl and held the Matriarch's arm.
The Matriarch chuckled and put down the scissors. She rubbed Wu Cong's head lovingly and said,""How is it? How have you been recently?"
"It's alright. Don't worry.”Wu Cong laughed.
The Matriarch looked at Li Xuan.
"Hello, Grandma." Li Xuan hurriedly nodded and greeted.
This old woman was so fierce! Li Xuan was secretly shocked. Standing there gave Li Xuan the feeling that it was like a black hole, unfathomable.
Therefore, Li Xuan wanted to touch her now!
"Xuan 'er, it's been hard on you during this period of time.”The Matriarch sighed, and a hint of sorrow and pity appeared in the depths of her eyes.
"No, I'm fine." Li Xuan hurriedly said.
"Come, come here." The old master waved at Li Xuan in a friendly tone.
Li Xuan walked over. The Matriarch grabbed his hand, then grabbed Wu Cong's hand, and put their hands together.
Li Xuan's eyes immediately lit up because an attribute light spot had fallen from the Matriarch's body! This was going to be rich!
Wu Cui's face was flushed red. She pouted and said like a little girl,""Grandma, what are you doing?"
The Matriarch looked at the two of them and smiled kindly.""Grandma's only wish in this life is to be able to hold her great-grandson. When do you plan to have children?”
The Matriarch's words made Wu Cui's face turn even redder. It was like a red apple, both embarrassed and angry. On the other hand, Li Xuan laughed heartlessly and shamelessly, staring at Wu Cui.
"I can do it anytime, it depends on Wu Kui.”Li Xuan said with a smile.
Wu Cong glared at Li Xuan fiercely and gritted her teeth. If the Matriarch was not here, she would have immediately pounced over and strangled Li Xuan to death.
The Matriarch patted the back of her hands and said earnestly,""Of course, the two of you are still young, but you will definitely have children when you get married. If you have children early, Grandma can leave in peace.”
"Grandma, it's your birthday today. Why do you keep saying these unlucky words?”Wu Kuang pouted her red lips slightly. Her angry look was very cute. This was the complete opposite of her usual domineering CEO appearance. There was a contrast that made Li Xuan unable to help but laugh out loud.
"What are you laughing at?" Wu Cong glared at Li Xuan and said.
"I'm laughing at how my wife looks the most beautiful in the world when she's angry.”Li Xuan said shamelessly.
"You're shameless!" Wu Cong was about to explode.
When the Matriarch saw the two bickering, she was all smiles and looked very happy.
