The atmosphere in the living room was terribly awkward.
It took Henry a few moments to finally realize why Lea's family had suddenly come.
Since the Qin family was quite big, they had a lot of relatives in different places.
So although they kept it secret, the news about their marriage immediately reached his grandmother.
Since the news shocked her, she didn't waste any time. She contacted Henry's parents and talked to his father to know the whole story.
No one knew what was going on in her mind when she only said, "You can deal this situation by yourselves."
Henry's parents looked at each other. Perplexity was written all over their faces, thinking what the old lady meant.
While they thought that it would be better to inform Henry about it, the old lady spoke again. "Where is that woman now? I need to see her."
Henry's father was afraid that she would do something unpleasant, so he suggested, "Mom, let me go with you. You might scare her." The old lady knew what he was worried about. She retorted in an annoyed tone, "What do you think I will do to her? Henry is my grandson. Do you think I'm too old and useless to deal with this?"
Henry's father couldn't help frowning after being scolded by his mother. But still, he explained, "Mom, that's not what I mean. That woman hasn't met any of our family members yet. You might shock her."
The other end of the line fell silent. Then the old lady asked in disbelief, "Henry hasn't brought her even to meet you?"
"No, he hasn't. That's why we are planning to visit them in a couple of days."
The old lady was rendered speechless again. She wondered how Henry could get married without even introducing his woman to his parents.
She was so angry that she wanted to rush to them right at this time.
Because of this, she made up his mind. She was going to visit Lea, but she told them not to let Henry know.
Henry's parents immediately called him to come over. When the old lady came face to face with Lea, another bomb exploded in front of her.
Lea was pregnant. The old lady was so angry that her heart suddenly ached.
She thought that Henry's parents made a big mistake of letting him do whatever he wanted.
She didn't know Lea's background. What if she was just a gold digger who used the baby in her belly to threaten the Qin family?
Thinking about this possibility, she felt a little dizzy.
But Lea behaved well in front of her, so she thought that she wasn't as bad as she expected.
When she left their house, she immediately called someone to investigate her family background.
She found out that her family wasn't that bad. Her father and two brothers had decent jobs, and she was a stewardess before.
She could accept her as her granddaughter-in-law.
After all, Lea and Henry had already gotten married,
and she was even pregnant.
She thought that it was time for both families to sit around and discuss their wedding ceremony.
She urged Henry's parents to meet Lea's parents. She wanted to know their stand about this.
How could they just agree that their daughter got married without even meeting the man's family?
She had never thought that the couple
didn't inform both of their families.
As a matter of fact, Henry had only called home to inform his mom about his marriage on the day that they also went to get the marriage certificates.
Then all of a sudden, the old lady also heard about it.
Before Henry's parents could even do something, the old lady also visited Lea's father. When she introduced herself as Henry's grandmother, he was stunned.
But he was more shocked when he heard the news. He had no idea that his daughter had already married Henry.
So when the old lady left, he rushed to Lea's house. In fear that their father might do something wrong out of anger, his two sons followed him. The three of them waited for Henry to come home.
While waiting for Henry, Lea's father came to realize that she had to be blamed too.
Although he was mad at Henry, he knew that it was not all his fault.
Marriage was an agreement between two people. At this moment, he felt so embarrassed of his daughter's ignorance.
When he saw Henry entering the house, his anger rose again. He pointed at the seat beside Lea and said, "Sit down."
Henry didn't say anything. He just obediently sat next to his wife.
He thought that this would definitely be a long and serious talk. Actually, he was surprised that Lea's father looked so calm.
