Cheng Anning hesitated for a while, and then sighed heavily, with a bit of innocence and helplessness.

"When Xia Ran and a few sisters were at a party before, I heard them talk about Ah Chu, and I don't know where they heard that Ah Chu is also a child of the Cheng family."

Hearing this, the old man was stunned for a moment.

Then he laughed: "The invitation has been sent out, and it's not surprising to know." ”

"That's what I said, but ......" Cheng Anning said, looking embarrassed, as if the next words were difficult to say.

Seeing her expression, the old man knew that something was wrong, and frowned.

"But what?"

"I, I don't know where they got the gossip from, saying that Ah Chu ...... It's the illegitimate daughter of the second uncle......"

The more Cheng Anning spoke, the quieter his voice became, and after speaking, his eyes kept observing the expression of the old man.

Sure enough, when the old man heard the words illegitimate daughter, the old man's face became visibly angry.

Cheng Anning immediately lowered his eyes and sobbed, with a thick sense of self-blame and guilt.

"Grandpa, I'm sorry for you, I'm sorry for the second uncle and Ah Chu."

Seeing the woman crying suddenly, the old man's anger was a little stunned before he began to explode.

Seeing her granddaughter crying suddenly, she couldn't let out her anger.

"What's wrong with this, how are you crying, what does this have to do with you?"

Cheng Anning shook his head, very self-blaming.

"I, everyone thought that I was the daughter of the second uncle, when I heard them ask me, I was really confused, I didn't know how to answer, I always thought that I didn't care that others knew that I was just an orphan adopted by the Cheng family, but at that time, I hesitated, I, I was afraid that after others knew that I was an orphan, they would look at me with strange eyes, I was really at a loss, and I forgot to answer, so that they seemed to have misunderstood Ah Chu's identity."

"When I thought back later, I felt that I was so despicable, and it was all my fault that I let Ah Chu fall into such an ugly situation, I am sorry for grandpa, you have raised me for your kindness, I am sorry for my second uncle, I am sorry for Ah Chu, it is all my fault."

The woman couldn't help but cry as she spoke.

Seeing the woman's breathless appearance of crying, the old man pointed at Cheng Anning for a long time, but he couldn't speak, so he could only sigh heavily.

He also knew that Cheng Anning, a young girl, would definitely be a little overwhelmed when she encountered this kind of thing.

It's just that this moment of overwhelm put his granddaughter in a very embarrassing situation.

An illegitimate daughter, not to mention in a wealthy family, even if it is an ordinary family, it is not a good sound.

Before his granddaughter was officially introduced to everyone, there was such a rumor, which made him not angry.

But looking at the embarrassed appearance of the woman crying, the words of accusation were somehow spoken.

"Okay, okay, don't cry, it's no wonder to you, just go back to the banquet and clarify."

When Cheng Anning heard this, he stopped crying, looked at the old man with a pair of moist eyes, and said in surprise: "Grandpa, don't you blame me?" ”

"Grandpa knows you didn't mean it, okay, stop crying."

After the old man finished speaking, he looked at the hand in her hand, and frowned slightly, fleetingly.

"Alright, you go back to sleep."

Cheng Anning nodded reassuringly, and told the old man to go to bed early, and then left.

Old Man Cheng sat on the edge of the bed, didn't move for a long time, thinking about Cheng Anning's hand and what Cheng Jinyan said at the dinner table before, his heart sank a little.
