Reincarnation: From Opressed Missy to Campus Belle

Han Nanxian’s lips twitched when he heard the old man’s words. What was he buying here? Furniture for who?

“Pay with this phone app,” the Old man grinned when he pulled out a smartphone from his pocket.

Han Nanxian now understood who was making expenses from his account. He wanted to ask how his grandfather knew his phone’s pins but he knew beforehand that it would be useless to ask questions.

After paying one hundred thousand Yuan that the old man had spent on furniture, furnishings and all other related stuff, he happily turned to leave the store. But when he turned, he found his rascals standing in the distance. He narrowed his eyes when no one of them walked ahead to greet him. Was this how youngsters these days greet their elders?

He was about to burst into a fit of anger when the two of them bowed in greeting._.

“Yeye, welcome back.”

“Yeye, welcome home.”

Han Qian, grandfather of both Han Nanxian and Han Zixin sneered. Welcome back? Welcome home? How dare they utter the words when they didn’t bother calling him daily? It was him, the old man, who was content with only three video calls a day. Yet, they dared to not show enthusiasm on seeing him!

“Yeye, why didn’t you inform us beforehand that you were coming back?” Han Nanxian asked rather calmly. If he made his grandfather angry and the old man left the city in a fit of anger, it would be very hard to answer his father. Although his grandfather and father weren’t on cordial terms for the last few years, he still couldn’t help but want to appease the old man.

‘As long as a grandfather doesn’t scold father for being a scum…’

Moreover, he was genuinely pleased to see his grandfather face to face after a long time.

“What family do I have in this city to inform beforehand?” Han Qian asked with a sneer. Ever since he had broken ties with his only son, he didn’t consider his son to be his family. His wife was dead. He has no other children or siblings he could call family. But he had his grandsons.  Although they were rascals, he still loved them a lot and missed them too.

Han Nanxian pursed his lips, not knowing how to answer. After taking a deep breath, he said with a smile, “Yeye, you have us. You have your Ah Xian and Ah Zi. Why did you need others?”

Hearing Han Nanxian’s words, the old man fell silent. “Alright, I have both of you.” After taking a pause, he added, “I went to Han mansion. I asked people for you. They said you are not home and also said you left your phone at home. Thus, I could not contact you. However, I took your phone to pass it to you while meeting you at school.”

‘But you ended up squandering my hard saved pocket money, ‘Han Nanxian wanted to say but kept quiet. He merely continued smiling at the old man.

“Ah Zi, I told you before leaving to shift to Han mansion. Why are you still residing at the small house?” The old man asked as he walked with his grandson out of the store. His arms were held by his rascal grandson.

“I’m not willing to leave my home,” Han Zixin merely replied in soft words. How could he leave the place where he was wanted and loved for a cold palace? He would rather be alone in that old and small house than stay where he would be suffocated to death.

“Yeye, I have an evening class at school and can’t accompany you any longer. I will see you on weekends, “Han Zixin said while leaving both of them there and disappearing with his bicycle.

“He is living in a dormitory,” Han Qian scoffed in anger as if he couldn’t believe it till now. Of course, he knew about this matter as soon as his silly rascal shifted to the school dormitory. Wasn’t it the reason why he returned when he didn’t want to come to this place again?

“Yeye, I can’t persuade him to stay at home, “Han Nanxian told him with a small smile.

Han Qian took a deep breath and patted his grandson’s back as he said in soft words, “Ah Xian, that place is your home, not Ah Zi’s. He is not even willing to stay there as a guest. He won’t come back. Stop hoping.”

“I understand, “said Han Nanxian as he walked with his grandfather to his car.

“I purchased a small villa, “Han Qian said after a while.

Han Nanxian looked at his grandfather and waited for him to say further.

“I’m staying there until Ah Zi completes his high school. I gave all of you a chance to mend your broken relationships but since you are unable to, don’t blame grandfather for taking matters into his hand,” Han Qian said,  firmly. “I will be shifting to the villa as soon as the furniture and furnishings are set up. It’s time for me to be the family that Ah Zi needs.”

Han Qian didn’t say anything more while Han Nanxian didn’t probe for more. He was glad that Han Zixin now had someone he wouldn’t push away. His younger brother needed someone by his side as he wouldn’t be there next year.
