Chapter 463

Chapter 463: Family Dinner (V)

The happy and joyous atmosphere suddenly turned gloomy and uneasy due to Lin Ran’s toxic remarks. Her words sounded as if she was questioning Han Zihao’s love for Xu Nuan and was assuming that he would not own up to his responsibility towards Xu Nuan and their unborn baby.

How can she even think of such a thing?

It was them who invited the Gu Family over for dinner to share this joyous news with them and yet she was accusing them for not caring about Xu Nuan.

They were so happy about a new life joining their family and were celebrating it.

Even after seeing all this, how can she even think that Han Zihao will not marry Xu Nuan and will break up with her just because she got pregnant with his child?

Can she not sense the happiness of her daughter or does she not want to consider her happiness at all?

How heartless this woman can be?

.....

Grandmother Han was disgusted by Lin Ran’s lowly mentality and was about to give her a piece of her mind when she heard Han Zihao say, “What do you mean who is going to marry her?”

He looked at Lin Ran coldly and pursed his lips in a thin line before announcing.” Of course, I am going to marry her! Is that even a question?” He asked in return to mock Lin Ran’s sick mentality.

His words were cold and stern. However, he didn’t even need to use his words to shut Lin Ran, because his chilling gaze was enough to zip her mouth shut.

Lin Ran was caught off guard when Han Zihao suddenly spoke to her and blinked her eyes in awkwardness. She wasn’t expecting him to react so harshly towards her.

She was simply showing her ‘genuine concern’ towards Xu Nuan. What was so wrong in that? “Ah? Real...Really? It’s a good thing then.” She laughed awkwardly and tried to brush it off.

She wanted to wrap up this matter but Han Zihao was not done with her yet.

She was about to change the topic when she heard him say, ” One more thing Mrs. Gu. From now on, you don’t need to worry about Xu Nuan.”

“Even though you never cared for her in the past as well, from now on, I will be the one taking care of her and I am sure she will be happier while living with me than living with her parents who never treated her as their daughter.” His words were sharp and brutal like a knife, using which he was thrashing Lin Ran nonstop.

“Note down my words, Mrs. Gu. I am going to marry her and will make a small and loving family with her and our baby. So you just need to keep your uncalled opinions of the society to yourself to maintain the peace and happiness of everyone. Otherwise....we don’t need a family like that who only knows how to ruin others happiness.”

Lin Ran: “...”

Her face turned beetroot red in embarrassment at his straightforward and brutal words. She was so embarrassed that she couldn’t even dare to raise her head to glance at her husband who was sitting next to her.

” I hope you understand what I am trying to say. Did you get it?” Han Zihao asked again. His stern and indifferent words were enough to intimidate Lin Ran and she didn’t even dare to utter a single Yes.

Not only Lin Ran, but Gu Zhang was also embarrassed and humiliated for her. He was surprised to find out that Xu Nuan was pregnant. However, unlike Lin Ran, he was happy for her because the girl they used to presume as useless has earned her name in the business world and she even helped their company when the hackers attacked their security system.

If not for Xu Nuan’s help, their company would have been affected very badly. Although he still feels estranged towards her, he was genuinely happy for her that she was leading a good and happy life.

However, Lin Ran’s poisonous tongue put him and his Father at a spot as well in front of Han’s with whom they’re meeting for the first time.

While the room fell into an uncomfortable silence after Han Zihao was done speaking, Xu Nuan glanced at Han Zihao who was still fuming with anger and rubbed the back of his hand to soothe his anger.

She also didn’t like the way Lin Ran commented about the news of her pregnancy, however, she did not think much about it as she was aware of Lin Ran’s personality and was used to her toxic attitude.

Because for her, it was like a normal occurance and it didn’t even bother her at all. Who is Lin Ran anyway?

Her opinions never meant anything to her. However, she was shocked by Han Zihao’s stern response to Lin Ran’s childish comments.

He doesn’t get angry at anyone easily and is known for controlling his emotions in front of others and always shows his stony and poker face to everyone.

However, she was dumbfounded when she saw him responding to Lin Ran’s uncalled remarks about them making their family and having a baby.

His brutally honest arguments left Lin Ran shocked and embarrassed in front of everyone.

Well, she deserves it.

Grandmother Han cleared her throat as she tried to cover up her chuckle by a cough and tried to not laugh out loud. For the first time in her whole life, she was impressed by the sassiness of Han Zihao.

Well, this just proved that he is her grandson indeed.

She looked at everyone’s solemn expressions and tried to liven up the mood once again. She clapped her hands two times to gather everyone’s attention and said, ” Why is everyone looking so serious?”

” I am still not done yet. I have one more good news left to announce to everyone.” She said while grinning brightly to cheer up everyone’s dull spirit.

Grandfather Gu saw her making efforts to not ruin the family dinner and tried to help her distract everyone’s attention from the argument and joined her, ” Another good news?”
