A Beautiful Misunderstanding

Chapter 264 Deliberately Making Difficulties (Part One)

The next morning, Zac's grandfather Abel and grandmother Alena arrived at the Rong Mansion.

All the servants were led by the housekeeper to stand in two rows outside and waited, while the children and grandchildren were standing in front of the gate of the mansion. The scene was extremely solemn.

As soon as they entered the yard, their eyes fell on their baby grandson, Zac, and then their grandson's wife.

"Grandpa, grandma, this is Essie." Zac introduced Essie to his grandparents.

"Hello, Grandpa and grandma." Essie smiled and said politely. She had met Abel and Alena when she was a child. She also played golf and rode with them. So many years had passed, and they didn't change a lot. They were still in good spirits.

"Good girl." Abel and Alena smiled kindly. They seemed to have a nice first impression of Essie.

As a new member of the Rong family, Essie should knelt down and made tea for them when she met them for the first time. But Marry didn't arrange it. Drinking the tea from the granddaughter-in-law represented the acceptance of the old granny. Mary didn't want to see that it would be so easy for Essie to get through.

"They haven't had the wedding. It's not appropriate for Essie to offer the tea. We will ask Essie to serve tea to you and dad after the wedding." Mary explained.

The old lady kept smiling, but she secretly furrowed her brows. "Although the wedding hasn't been held yet, since they have already got the marriage certificate, Essie is already the granddaughter-in-law of our family."

Taking over her words, Abel said, "we just came back to have a cup of tea from our granddaughter-in- law."

"Right, right. Sister-in-law, you can be flexible as long as you want. Don't be too conventional. Now it's time to have a cup of tea for the first meeting. After they hold the wedding, it's the tea for acceptance." Sally said with a smile.

Mary smiled awkwardly, "that's what I was going to do. I was afraid that you would blame me for breaking the rules. After all, you haven't seen Essie before."

Alena smiled and said, "as long as my grandson is satisfied, my husband and I will be satisfied too."

Abel nodded his head and said, "we believe in Zac. He has a great taste. The one he has chosen from thousands of people is for sure." Although Abel was in Switzerland, he had an eye here. He had paid attention to Essie since she came in. Nobody was allowed to be the future mother of the Rong family easily. Abel was very clear about Essie's performance in the show of Beauty on Overpass and the establishment of her own brand. He even knew that Mary didn't like her daughter-in-law and made troubles for her. And Essie was smart and dealt with them one by one. He knew Essie well.

Hearing this, Mary had nothing to say. She quickly ordered the servant to prepare tea.

And Essie believed that Zac's grandparents loved her because of Zac. No wonder that Zac told her not to worry too much. He was sure of it.

Essie knelt down, took the tea in the servant's plate and served it to Abel and Alena one by one with great respect. "Grandpa, drink tea please. Grandma, drink tea please."

"Good girl." The two old people were smiling at each other. Each of them took out a big red envelope and put it on the plate.

Looking at this, Valery was very upset. She thought that Zac's grandfather and grandmother were so easygoing and they just let Essie pass so easily. Shouldn't She be carried out in the initial exam, medium exam and college entrance exam one by one?

Seeing that Essie stood up, Valery said hastily, "I want to serve tea to Grandpa and grandma too."

Valery's words drew the attention of the old man. With a calm expression on his face, Abel said nothing. At the sight of this, Mary quickly pulled her to the back. "Valery, you are pregnant now, so it's not appropriate for you to kneel down and serve tea. You can bring our eldest great grandson to serve tea to grandparents after the baby is born."

Essie still smiled and went to Zac. It seemed that she wasn't affected at all by what Mary said. According to the rules of the Rong family, only the first son of his wife could be called the eldest great grandson. The bastard did not count in the Rong family, and even could not be named seniority in the family. There was different position between wife's children and mistress's kids in Rong family. Only wife's children could be seen as the children of Rong family, and the mistress's kids had no right to be counted.

The old lady was satisfied with Essie's indifferent reaction. Essie was tolerant and decent. Alena took a sip of tea and said slowly, "there is the law. The family has its rules. You can change some things in form, but you can't break the rules. You can't mess up the wife and mistress." Although the Rong family allowed mistresses to appear, Alena didn't like this kind of group. This was one of the reasons why the mistresses who had entered the family were all defeated and driven away by the wife.

Sally immediately echoed, "yes, you're right."

"I'm sorry for the slip of tongue. I'll watch out from now on." Mary immediately explained. In fact, it was not a slip of tongue. She just said it on purpose. No matter whether Alena admitted it or not, in her heart, Valery's child was her eldest grandson.

After that, Abel and Alena went upstairs to have a rest, while others went their own business.

Seeing that Essie didn't troubled by Abel and Alena, Mary was very uncomfortable. It was even harder to get rid of Essie in case that they took Essie's side. Mary must try to destroy her good impression on Abel and Alena. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

"Essie, will you hold a family dinner?" Mary walked to Essie and asked.
