Marrying the Divorced Female Protagonist O After Transmigrating into a Book - Chapter 34

“Yes, Miss Zhao.”

Zhao Xinyu disconnected the call. Qin Langning’s residence was a bit remote. It took her over thirty minutes to get to the studio.

Getting out of the car, Zhao Xinyu’s phone signaled a message twice. She took it out of her pocket to see who sent it. She smiled, it was Zhao Xuan. Brother has landed. I can ask him about Zhao Yanran’s situation when I get home.

Walking toward the studio, she remembered adding Su Ke’s contact during the day. This person had messaged her twice that afternoon to remind Sun Qianyi to rest. Although Cai Luo is very petty, it was worth the money spent.

This time, surprisingly, Sun Qianyi was in the office and had changed her clothes. “Why are you so fast today?”

She had a problem. Her grandfather called her, asking her to come home. He didn’t say what exactly. “Little Xin~ I need to go home tonight. You go home first. I’ll go see what the matter is, and I’ll come back once it’s handled.”

Why is Sun Qianyi suddenly asked to go back? Is it related to Sun Qian and Lin Fanchen’s marriage? “You’re not staying there overnight, are you?”

Sun Qianyi was surprised for a moment that Little Xin asked her that: “I won’t stay overnight. I’ll come back once it’s dealt with.”

“Mhm, okay. Then I’ll go with you.”

“But…” She’s worried.

“Don’t worry, there won’t be any problems.” Sun Qianyi said she gave her father-in-law a condition that day, but I don’t know what it was. I hadn’t thought to ask Sun Qianyi about it. It’s better to go with her. Her father-in-law is not an easy person to deal with.

“In that case, okay. I’ve already told Cai Luo. Let’s go now.” It should be fine with Grandpa there. Her father still listens to Grandpa.

Soon, Zhao Xinyu drove to the Sun family home. With Sun Qianyi present, they entered the main gate smoothly. The car stopped right in front of the Sun house.

Butler: “Miss, you’re back.”

Sun Qianyi held Little Xin’s hand and got out of the car, replying with a cold “Mhm” to the butler. The butler is his person. Every time he forced me or put me under house arrest, he commanded the butler. Walking into the house, she felt very nervous.

The feeling of nervousness lasted for four or five seconds. She felt Little Xin separating her fingers, then linking them in a warm embrace. Turning to look at Little Xin, her smile was warm, just like her pheromones.

In the living room, Sun Qianyi saw the whole family gathered. Her eyes went to her grandfather: “Grandfather, you wanted to see me?”

“Mhm,” he hummed, noticing Zhao Xinyu. He smiled and said, “Xinyu, long time no see!”

His deep voice was still very powerful. Zhao Xinyu looked at him and smiled, replying, “Hello, Grandpa Sun~”

“Why did you come with Qianyi?”

Zhao Xinyu smiled mischievously. This old man is up to no good. Is he starting now? “It’s a secret.”

“Alright then. If Xinyu doesn’t want to say, Grandpa Sun won’t ask. You should have told Grandpa Sun in advance that you were coming so I could have someone prepare some good food to treat you.”

Sun Qian hadn’t expected to run into her tonight. We already met once at the mall! Xinyu? Who is this person? Who can talk to Grandpa in that tone!

She definitely recognized me, and her tone of voice today is completely different from when we were at the mall. She adapts her attitude to the person she’s dealing with. She’s not simple!

“Grandpa Sun, you’re too kind. I’m not a child anymore, and I don’t like snacks now.” I like to eat Sun Qianyi now, tsk.

“Good girl. Come sit down.”

“Okay, Grandpa Sun.” Saying this, Zhao Xinyu pulled Sun Qianyi to sit next to him.

Sun Yufeng was surprised to see Zhao Xinyu walk over. She seems to have a very good relationship with Qianyi.

After sitting down, Zhao Xinyu saw that everyone wasn’t saying anything, so she spoke up to break the silence: “Grandpa Sun, I went to find Sister to play, but she said she had to come home for something! So I came with her. You don’t mind, do you, Grandpa Sun?”

“…I don’t mind. I just have a small matter to discuss.”

“Oh?! A small matter? Can I listen?”

“Cough, cough, you can.” I strongly suspect this little girl is deliberately talking to me like this! “Sun Qian and Lin Fanchen’s wedding is set for early August. Qianyi, remember to be there.” Saying this, he looked at Qianyi sternly.

“…Grandpa Sun, your gaze is scary. A wedding is a good thing. But, who is Sun Qian?! I didn’t know Grandpa Sun’s family had someone named Sun Qian.”

Sun Qian: …I think she’s doing this on purpose, trying to humiliate me!

Sun Qianyi was originally a little sad seeing her grandfather’s gaze, as he seemed to be taking his father’s side this time. But hearing Little Xin’s words, she suddenly burst out laughing.

“Cough, cough, cough, cough.”

“Oh my, Grandpa Sun, are you alright?”

“…” This little brat, please shut up!

“Grandpa Sun is fine. Sun Qian is…” Saying this, he glanced at Sun Qian, closed his eyes, opened them again, and continued: “Sun Qian is Qianyi’s sister.”

“Ah?! How come I didn’t know Auntie Kong gave birth to another sister?!” Saying this, she feigned annoyance and looked at Sun Qianyi, asking, “Sister, Auntie gave birth to a sister, and you didn’t tell me!”

Sun Qian didn’t want to watch her continue acting; it was too much! She was clearly trying to make Grandpa call me an illegitimate child.

“…This…” She looked at her grandfather, not saying anything. Little Xin is getting into character. She’s so cute.

“Cough, cough. She’s not your Auntie Kong’s child.” Looking at Sun Qian: “Little Qian.”

“Grandfather,” Sun Qian quickly called out, startled by being called by name.

“Mhm. This is Xinyu, named Zhao Xinyu. She’s a child of the Zhao family.”

What?! The Zhao family! Could she be Zhao Xuan’s sister? “Hello, I am Sun Qian.”

Zhao Xinyu looked at her and said lightly, “Hello. Hey, have I met you before?”

“…Huh? I don’t think so.”

“Oh~ It seems I misremembered.” She actually said we haven’t met. The nerve.

“Yes…”

Zhao Xinyu pretended to be shocked, leaning back a little, staring at him with wide, surprised eyes: “I’m sorry, Grandpa Sun. I didn’t know the full story.”

“It’s alright. Xinyu, will you come on that day too?”

“I don’t know if I’ll have time. Is Sister not coming to the wedding? If Sister is coming, I’ll go tell my mother and come to the wedding with Sister.”

“…” This little girl doesn’t want to come, but she’s bringing Sun Qianyi into it, and even mentioning Madam Ming. Before, only Zhao Xuan attended Qianyi and Lin Fanchen’s wedding; the other two Zhao family members didn’t come. I didn’t expect Xinyu to be so attached to Qianyi. If she attends the wedding, it would be a good thing. “Qianyi will definitely come. If Xinyu wants to come, come with Qianyi then.”

“I can! Is this the only thing Grandpa Sun wanted to talk about with Sister?”

“Cough, cough. There’s something else.” Saying this, he stood up and looked at his eldest son: “Sun Zhou, you entertain Xinyu well. Qianyi and I will talk in the study.”

“Yes, Father.”

“Mhm, Qianyi, follow me.”

“Okay.” Sun Qianyi leaned close to Little Xin and whispered, “Little Xin, my hand.”

“Oh, I forgot.” Zhao Xinyu gave a silly smile. They had been holding hands the whole time.

Sun Qianyi smiled dotingly, stood up, and followed her grandfather.

Sun Zhou: “Xinyu, what would you like to drink? Uncle will get it for you.”

“Just plain water, thank you, Uncle.”

“Okay.” He seems to like Qianyi.

In the study, Sun Hongwen and Sun Qianyi sat on custom-made wooden chairs, conversing.

“Little Yi, your father told me everything you said to him. Does your mother absolutely insist on divorce? Is that her intention?”

“Yes.”

“Sigh, this divorce won’t be easy.”

“If Grandfather can’t make the decision, we’ll have to go to court.”

“…We can’t go to court! Talk to your mother about this again.”

“Mother and I have discussed this. She is very firm this time.”

“If it must be so, wait until after your sister’s wedding to talk about it.”

“Is that Grandfather’s wish, or his wish?”

“It’s my wish. If this matter goes to court, it will damage our family. You should also consider the Sun family’s reputation.”

“Who in this family doesn’t consider the family? Only he doesn’t.”

“No matter what, he is your father.”

“He is not my father. Divorce can be handled at any time. I still hope he and Mom divorce as soon as possible.”

“This matter, I need to consider it carefully.” If the two of them end up in court over this, the Sun family’s stock price will definitely be affected. If Sun Qian and the Lin family marry, this impact will be negated.

“Grandfather, if there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave.”

“Mhm. By the way, what’s with that Xinyu girl?”

“Grandfather!”

“Go.” It seems I asked too much?

“Mhm.”

Sun Qianyi went downstairs and saw Little Xin chatting happily with her eldest uncle. I wonder what they’re talking about that’s so entertaining.

“Little Xin.”

“Sister, did you and Grandpa Sun finish your discussion?”

“Mhm, let’s go.”

Zhao Xinyu stood up and said, “Okay,” then looked at Sun Zhou and said, “Uncle Sun Zhou, let’s chat next time.”

“Good. Xinyu, come visit often when you’re free.”

“I’d love to. Since you invited me, Uncle, I’ll try my best to come.”

“Good.”

Zhao Xinyu was about to leave, holding Sun Qianyi’s hand, when she saw Sun Hongwen standing on the stairs: “Grandpa Sun, see you next time.”

“Mhm.”

Looking at Sun Qianyi, Zhao Xinyu leaned close to her ear and whispered, “Did they agree to your condition?”

Sun Qianyi was surprised for a moment. She only mentioned it briefly that day at dinner. Little Xin actually remembered. “Not yet.”

Her voice was very soft. I’m lucky I was close; otherwise, Zhao Xinyu wouldn’t have heard it. “Do you want me to help you?”

“No need.”

“…Alright then.”

“You don’t even know the situation. How can you help me?” Afraid Little Xin would get angry, she added another sentence.

“I can!” Saying this, Zhao Xinyu glanced at Sun Hongwen. “Wait two minutes for me. Can I talk to Grandpa Sun for a moment?”

“Hey, Little Xin, let’s just go.” Let Grandfather think about this matter first. After taking two steps, she realized Little Xin hadn’t moved. “Little Xin?!”

“Give me two minutes.” Saying this, she let go of her hand and looked at Sun Hongwen: “Grandpa Sun, I can tell you the secret I mentioned earlier, but only privately. Do you want to know?”

A secret? “Of course. Xinyu, come to Grandpa Sun’s study and tell me privately.”

“Okay.” She let go of Sun Qianyi’s hand, and they walked up the stairs together. Sun Hongwen’s study must be soundproofed. She asked Sun Qianyi to wait outside.

Sun Qianyi felt helpless. She looked at her grandfather going in and reminded Little Xin, “Go in. I’ll wait for you here.”

Zhao Xinyu watched her grandfather go in. Seeing no one nearby, she pulled Sun Qianyi into her arms and kissed her forehead. “I will definitely help you solve this. Sister, trust me.”

“Mhm, Sister trusts Little Xin.” She originally intended to handle her mother’s matter alone, but now, she trusts Little Xin’s words. No matter the outcome, she trusts Little Xin.
