Hidden Marriage: A Heaven-sent Billionaire Husband

Of course, Old Madam He's heart ached for her grandson. When she heard this, she quickly said, "Since you're not worried about breaking the rules, you can stay."

However, at this point, how could Xu Zhiqin still stay?

He Xuyan said, "She can stay with me at my place."

With that, he picked up his suitcase and left.

He reached out to hold Xu Zhiqin's hand and found that her fingers were cold.

He Xuyan secretly regretted bringing her back in a hurry.

Originally, He Jiang and Lin Xiruo had already acknowledged Xu Zhiqin, so he thought that his grandparents would not have any objections.

Unexpectedly... the older generation was a little old-fashioned, after all. They actually took Xu Zhiqin down a notch.

Even Su Bei's words were useless.

"I'm sorry, Zhiqin." After He Xuyan got into the car, he reached out and hugged her.

"It's not your fault." Xu Zhiqin had recovered from her initial confusion and embarrassment.

He Xuyan said in a low voice, "My parents have already agreed to our marriage. Grandpa and Grandma don't have the right to decide. I came back this time to inform them as a sign of respect."

Xu Zhiqin nodded. "I understand."

These worries were not groundless. She had thought about this possibility before.

The matter between her and Pan Hongsen had already blown up.

Moreover, the social gap between her and He Xuyan was like a chasm.

He Xuyan held her hand with heartache.

She suddenly smiled.

"You're still in the mood to smile?" He Xuyan said softly.

"Actually, I've already expected their opposition. It was like a sword hanging above my head. I didn't know if it would fall or not, so it was hard to feel at ease. But now that I know and the sword has fallen, I feel much less uneasy."

He Xuyan knew that she was comforting herself. Who would want the sword to really fall on their heads?

He still needed to talk to his grandparents about this!

He had a villa nearby and asked the butler to drive the two of them here.

The villa was not as big as the He family's mansion, but it was exquisite and bright.

There were usually people who cleaned up the place, so it was convenient for them to move in directly.

...

In the He family's mansion.

Old Madam He said, "This brother of yours is really something. It's rare that he came back, but he's not even willing to stay at home."

Su Bei smiled and said, "Grandma, Big Brother and Zhiqin have always been on good terms. They're getting married soon. Of course, he has to accompany Zhiqin. You know as well that Big Brother has a brash personality. It wasn't easy for him to find someone he likes. Do you want to see him die alone?"

This was naturally not what Old Madam He wanted to see.

She had been longing to hold her grandson for a long time.

She said, "It's not that I don't like this woman. Su Bei, you're from S Country. You should know what happened to this woman before, right? It's fine if she's from a small family, but I heard that she was involved with many men. No matter what, our He family can't let this woman disgrace us."

"Where did you hear all this?"

Old Madam He said, "Do I need to hear it from somewhere? I just read the newspaper and went online. You can know everything there."

"Do you know that Zhiqin's ambiguous relationships with those men are all just rumors?" Su Bei asked with a smile.

Old Madam He hesitated for a moment and did not continue the topic. Instead, she said, "Let's not talk about her. Let's talk about you. Are you tired from filming? What do you do in your spare time?"

It seemed that the old madam's disregard for Xu Zhiqin had reached a very serious stage. She didn't even want to mention it.

After all, this was the first time Su Bei had seen her, and she did not know her grandmother's personality very well. She could only temporarily delay her plan to persuade Old Madam He.

...

Before resting at night, Su Bei called Xu Zhiqin.

"Don't worry, Xuyan and I have settled down." Xu Zhiqin's voice was calm. "We're not staying in a hotel. We're staying in his house."

"Grandma might have heard others' slander." Su Bei comforted her. "Zhiqin, don't think too much. This matter will be resolved."

Xu Zhiqin nodded and smiled. "Yes, I understand. Don't worry about me. Have a good rest first."

...

Compared to their attitudes toward Xu Zhiqin, Old Master He's and Old Madam He's attitudes toward Su Bei were much gentler and kinder.

They arranged the best room for her and even asked her to stay in this room when she came home in the future.

Everything in the room was ready.

The servant helped Su Bei make the bed and spoke in the language of S Country, "Miss, if you need anything, you can ring the bell and call us over."

"Thank you." Su Bei nodded in thanks.

The next morning, Su Bei went downstairs.

Old Master He and Old Madam He smiled at her. "Did you sleep well? You didn't lose sleep now that you're in a new environment, did you?"

"Everything's fine, Grandpa and Grandma," Su Bei said with a smile. "It's exactly the same as when I was at home. The bed here is even more comfortable."

"I'm glad you like it," Old Madam He said. "I had prepared everything for you. I was just waiting for you to come back."

Su Bei looked in the direction of the dining table. The butler was preparing breakfast for only three people.

She smiled and asked, "Grandpa, Grandma, isn't Big Brother coming back for breakfast?"

Old Madam He had called He Xuyan, but He Xuyan refused to come back for breakfast.

Because of Xu Zhiqin, she knew that there was still a tug-of-war between her and her grandson.

However, she did not think that she was wrong. There were countless families who wanted to marry into the He family. They were all waiting in line.

It was much better for He Xuyan to marry any one of them rather than Xu Zhiqin.

What she was doing now was for He Xuyan's own good.

"He won't be coming back for the time being. Let's eat," Old Madam He said.

The butler came in and said, "Old Master, Old Madam, Miss Wei is here."

"Yuxin! Let her in!" Old Madam He smiled happily. "Su Bei, Yuxin grew up with Xuyan. She's very obedient and sensible. You haven't met her yet, right? I'll let you meet her today. I'll get her to accompany you around later."

How could Su Bei not have seen Wei Yuxin before?

As expected, she came as soon as He Xuyan returned. She was quite well-informed.

Su Bei smiled. "Okay, I really want to meet her too."

Wei Yuxin walked in from outside. She was wearing a slim-fitting embroidered dress that had a classical feel to it. The buttons on her gown were also in the classic style of S Country.

This outfit was probably specially tailored to please the two elders. As expected, before the two elders even approached her, Old Madam He praised, "This dress is not bad. It looks like an ink painting. It's very beautiful."
