Chapter 850 He Had Never Seen Such Prejudice


    Leia was dressed in a pure white sleeveless scalloped dress with a round neckline and a tapered


    waistline. She had light makeup on, and that made her look like an innocent young woman. She


    seemed quite docile, just like the character she always portrayed back when she was an actress.


    Her right hand was holding Old Mrs. Norman''s arm, while her left was holding two big shopping bags.


    She was whispering something to her grandmother.


    Old Mrs. Norman was giggling happily. Wrinkles appeared on her well- maintained face.


    "Grandma," Bianca stood up from her seat and greeted Old Mrs. Norman. She held a grape in her


    hand.


    The sweetness that had lingered in her mouth suddenly became tasteless.


    Old Mrs. Norman reflexively turned to the voice that had greeted her. She was visibly surprised when


    she saw Bianca, and the joyous expression on her face reduced by a little. "It''s you, Bianca. Why did


    youe here when it''s so warm outside?"


    She was not fond of that granddaughter, even though the DNA test had conclusively proved that


    Bianca was biologically rted to her.


    Firstly, the old woman showered her love on Leia, who had lived in the Norman residence since she


    was a young girl.


    Secondly, Bianca was not a meek woman, and she had embarrassed the Normans publicly several


    times before she was reunited with her birth parents. Moreover, Bianca did not suck up to her


    grandmother, and Old Mrs. Norman could not find any reason to like her.


    Thirdly, even though Bianca was reunited with the Normans, she insisted on being a Rayne instead of


    changing her surname.


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    Those were the reasons why Old Mrs. Norman was not fond of Bianca.


    Bianca knew that her grandmother was not fond of her, and she was not going to y up to her whims.


    Whenever she came to visit her grandfather, she would greet her grandmother and nothing more.


    Old Mr. Norman was unhappy that his wife treated his granddaughter that way. He had told his wife


    multiple times in private that she should not be so cold toward Bianca, but she never changed, which


    made him helpless.


    Considering that it was rare that Bianca visited him, Old Mr. Norman told his wife with a long face, "So


    what if she''s here? Can''t shee to her grandparents'' house? Bea''s considerate enough to bring me


    two bottles of herbal liqueur too. Why, you''re her grandmother, yet you don''t wee her?


    "That''s not what I said! You misunderstand me, old man!" Old Mrs. Norman replied sheepishly. She did


    not say another word, but her expression toward Bianca became even more unpleasant.


    Seeing that Old Mrs. Norman was aggrieved, Leia tried to speak up for her grandmother. "You''ve


    misunderstood Grandma''s words, Grandpa. She''s saying that it''s warm outside, and she''s worried that


    Bianca might have a heatstroke... isn''t that so, Bianca?" She said gently.


    Bianca gave a side-eye to Leia. "It is indeed quite warm outside. If you can bring Grandma shopping


    despite the heat, then I shouldn''t neglect my other grandparent."


    She looked at the bags with luxury brand logos that Leia held. Her implication was obvious.


    Leia''s smile froze on her face. "Grandma hasn''t gone out for a walk for a long time! She needs the


    exercise. It''s not good for her to stay at home for too long."


    Bianca chuckled. "You''re so considerate, Leia."


    Old Mr. Norman could sense the tension between those two siblings.


    He coughed deliberately and told the caretaker standing there awaiting orders, "It''s rare that both of my


    granddaughters are here. We should have a sumptuous lunch today, Jen. Please buy double the


    ingredients when you go to the grocery storeter. Let''s have a good lunch."


    At Old Mr. Norman''s age, what he wanted the most was a harmonious family. Even though Leia was


    not his biological granddaughter, she had lived with the Normans for almost twenty years, and he had


    already treated her like family.


    Of course, that was provided that Leia behaved.


    Old Mrs. Norman sighed and picked up Leia’s hand. "You''re a good girl for going around town with me


    today. I hope you didn''t find me troublesome. I’ve missed you, and you should stay over for a few days.


    I''ll give a call to your parentster in the evening," she sounded very caring when she said that.


    Leia gently rested her head on Old Mrs. Norman''s shoulders and said coyly, "Alright, Grandma. I''d like


    to take a bath now. You should join me too so that I can wash your back." "I''ll take my bathter in the


    evening. You should go first." Old Mrs. Norman beckoned to the caretaker. "Jen, please prepare Leia''s


    bathwater and a set of clean clothes for her. You should tidy up her room too. She''s going to stay over


    for a few days." "Yes, Madam."


    The caretaker undid her apron and helped Leia carry the shopping bags." Please follow me upstairs,


    Ms. Leia."


    While Leia walked behind the caretaker, she nced knowingly at Bianca, as though saying, "So what


    if you''re the Normans'' biological granddaughter? Grandma loves me more anyway!"


    Old Mr. Norman did not like where this was going. He said, "If that''s the case, you should spend some


    time chatting with Bianca..."


    Before he could finish his sentence, Old Mrs. Norman faked a yawn and saidzily, "I''m tired from all


    that walking. I''ll be back in my room for a rest."


    Old Mrs. Norman turned around and walked away without looking at Bianca.


    Old Mr. Norman was furious. "You''re bing more muddled as you age!


    Can''t you see who''s..."


    He was so angry that he could not finish his sentence.


    He had never seen his wife being so biased. Bianca was their biological granddaughter, but his wife


    would rather favor their adoptive granddaughter instead.


    Bianca was used to being prejudiced against. She did not mind it.


    Instead, sheforted Old Mr. Norman, "It''s fine, Grandpa. She can do whatever she likes as long as


    she''s happy. I''m happy enough that you care for me!"


    Old Mr. Norman gazed at his granddaughter profoundly. He wanted to say something, but all that came


    out of his mouth was a long sigh.


    His wife might be muddled, but he was not.


    Bianca was an outstanding young woman. She was much better than Leia when it came to her career


    or personality. Unfortunately, Old Mrs. Norman had been swayed by Leia''s sugar-coated words and


    would rather dote upon her than Bianca. What a pity!
