"I am really sorry about her actions," Old Master Lei said to Mother Bai with some embarrassment. This was his first time meeting with the family of his granddaughter-in-law, and yet, because of his wife, he was forced to lower his head in such a manner.
"There is no need." Although Mother Bai was indeed upset with the crude words that came out of Old Lady Lei’s mouth, she knew that this couldn’t be blamed on Old Master Lei. After all, he was different from Old Lady Lei and hadn’t done anything to embarrass them, so there was no point in making things troublesome for him.
When Old Master Lei saw that Mother Bai was not blaming him, he heaved a sigh of relief and then turned to look at his grandson’s chosen wife. This was his first time seeing Bai Meiyue, clearly. The last time he saw her, his vision was slightly blurry due to the surgery he had undergone.
Now that he had taken a good look at her face, he was so shocked that he nearly fainted. He turned around and looked at his grandson. Even though the man was handsome like an immortal who had descended from the sky, he was still older than Bai Meiyue. Looking at him and then turning to look at Bai Meiyue, it was like he was staring at a rather mismatched couple.
Sighing, he lowered his head and apologized to Mother Bai once again, "I am sorry. I didn’t teach this beast properly, and because of this, he did such a thing." In his eyes, Bai Meiyue was still young, barely eighteen and yet she was carrying the child of his grandson. Even if Mother Bai had accepted his grandson, it must be because her daughter was already pregnant with his child; if not, there was no way anyone would have accepted such a beast!
"Oh, there is no need to say such a thing." Mother Bai was quite surprised when she heard the words of Old Master Lei; she waved her hands and then said to him, "This is fate; the children were meant to be together... what could we do in such a case?"
"You are really generous for saying such a thing," said Old Master Lei, whose head was still bowed. However, he did turn his head to one side and glared at his dear grandson with a rather angry look on his face.
Lei Qian raised his hand and touched the tip of his nose, feeling a bit guilty when he heard the words of his grandfather. He knew what his grandfather was thinking and couldn’t help but lower his head. Well, he indeed made a mistake by sleeping with Bai Meiyue, who turned an adult just a few days before the end of the world.
However, though he felt guilty, he didn’t regret it. Because if he had not done that, then he wouldn’t have been able to get a good wife like Bai Meiyue.
Old Master Lei saw the look on the face of his grandson and knew what he was thinking. He rolled his eyes and turned to look at Bai Meiyue. He said to her with a kind expression, "Girl, thank you so much. Ah Qian told me that you saved my life; if not for you, I would already be buried six feet deep by now."
