Eight o'clock in the evening, in the military compound.

Grandpa Jiang paced back and forth expectantly, occasionally asking the family's maid, Aunt Li, if his clothes were in disarray.

Aunt Li said helplessly, "Grandpa, you look very neat in your Zhongshan suit today, there's no need to be nervous."

Only then did Grandpa Jiang feel relieved.

Who would have thought that the old general, who had been a powerful figure in the military for most of his life, would be as nervous as a country bumpkin when meeting his future granddaughter-in-law?

After a while, the old man's long-awaited voice finally rang out from outside the door.

"Grandpa, we're back."

Grandpa Jiang immediately went out, leaning on his cane.

Jiang Jingxing led Su Yan in.

The old man's gaze immediately fell on Su Yan beside him, and he asked with a kind smile, "You must be Su Yan?"

Su Yan's delicate face was full of smiles as she stepped forward and said, "Hello, Grandpa. My name is Su Yan. It's a pleasure to meet you. This is a small token of my appreciation. Please accept it."

As she spoke, she handed over the gift in her hand, but she gave it to Aunt Li.

Aunt Li stepped forward and accepted it; the old man didn't even have a chance to refuse.

Su Yan asked with concern, "Brother Jiang said you were poisoned and only woke up a while ago. How are you feeling now?"

Grandpa Jiang replied, "Everything is fine, everything is fine. There's no major problem. Please come in and sit down. Don't stand and talk."

After sitting down, Jiang Jingxing glanced around the house, his expression becoming much lighter.

"Jiang Jingxing's parents have gone out. I didn't tell them you were coming, so please don't take it to heart," Grandpa Jiang explained.

In fact, he didn't want Jiang Jingxing's parents to interfere with his meeting with his future granddaughter-in-law.

He didn't want things to go wrong or the girl to feel wronged since it was her first time visiting.

Su Yan waved her hand, "I don't mind. Brother Jiang told me about it, so Grandpa can rest assured."

However, she did not expect that Grandpa Jiang would be so approachable.

She thought the old man, being in a high position, would be very serious.

A hint of satisfaction flashed in Grandpa Jiang's eyes. He then said to Jiang Jingxing, "You are about ten years older than Xiaoyan. You should be considerate of her and take care of her. You are not allowed to bully her, understand?"

Jiang Jingxing looked at her affectionately, patted the top of her head, and retorted, "Grandpa, you're overthinking it. How could I bear to bully her? I'd rather cherish her."

Su Yan blushed instantly, wishing she could dig a hole and bury her head in it!

Please!

Can you please not say such explicit things? She's easily embarrassed!

Grandpa Jiang was taken aback when he heard this, but when he saw that his grandson had finally figured it out, he couldn't help but burst into laughter. "You little rascal, I thought your mouth was made of steel and cement, but it seems you can still be clever after all."

At this moment, Aunt Li came over and said, "Grandpa, dinner is ready."

Su Yan was feeling embarrassed when Aunt Li's words came like a timely rain.

Grandpa Jiang responded and said to her, "Come on, let's go eat."

"good."

When they arrived at the dinner table, Grandpa Jiang said, "I didn't know what you liked to eat, so I asked Aunt Li to make a few dishes. Eat as much as you like, make yourself at home, and don't feel uncomfortable."

Grandpa Jiang dislikes extravagance and waste. He usually eats only one meat dish and one vegetable dish, but now there are six dishes and a soup on the table, and each one is a substantial dish.

Jiang Jingxing raised an eyebrow and gave his grandfather a meaningful look.

Su Yan blinked and said obediently, "Thank you, Grandpa. These are all my favorite foods."

Whether you like it or not, it's all meat and vegetables, so it definitely won't taste bad.

Grandpa Jiang usually doesn't like to talk while eating, but now he couldn't control his mouth. "Xiao Yan, I heard from that brat that you've started a small business back in your hometown. Is it tiring? Will you still have time to manage it after you go to university?"

Jiang Jingxing: "..." When did his grandfather become so talkative?

Su Yan said, "I run a braised food shop in my hometown. My mother usually manages it, and I'm responsible for developing new flavors, so I don't really manage it. But I haven't been idle since I started university. I recently took over a restaurant in Guangzhou, and it's still under renovation. It will be open for business after the start of the semester."

Upon hearing this, Old Master Jiang was shocked for a moment, and hesitated before asking, "You mean you still want to open a restaurant in Guangzhou?"

"Yes, it was an investment I made with two friends."

"Renting that restaurant must have cost a lot, considering it's in a place like Guangzhou."

Su Yan shook her head. "I bought it. Renting it wouldn't be cost-effective, and in the long run, buying it is definitely more suitable."

She had no intention of showing off; she simply answered whatever the old man asked.

Old Master Jiang's eyes narrowed, and his heart sank.

Su Yan is only eighteen years old, yet she has so much money to do business in Guangzhou...

Jiang Jingxing explained in a timely manner, "Grandpa, Tang Li is also one of the partners. The braised food shop is only a small part of Ayan's income. She can identify Chinese medicinal herbs. In addition to some rare herbs, she has also sold ginseng to Tang Li a few times. The ginseng that Commander Xiao used when he was in a coma was sold to Tang Li by Ayan. Some time ago, when she went into the mountains to collect herbs, she found an old ginseng that was more than three thousand years old. The money she made from selling it was more than enough to open a restaurant."

Su Yan realized something at this moment and quickly said, "Grandpa, don't worry, all the money I earn is from legitimate channels."

Grandpa Jiang breathed a sigh of relief, feeling gratified and proud of the young girl in front of him.

Such a capable and beautiful girl is actually his granddaughter-in-law!

His grandson even brought home a god of wealth when he looked for a partner.

"Xiaoyan, Grandpa has high hopes for you. If you encounter any difficulties in doing business, just ask Grandpa. As long as it's not illegal, Grandpa will help you solve it."

Su Yan blinked, flattered, and nodded at Jiang Jingxing's prompting, "Okay, thank you, Grandpa."

Grandpa Jiang's mood was clearly getting better and better. If it weren't for his health, he would definitely take out his treasured wine and have a couple of drinks with his eldest grandson.

After dinner, Su Yan offered to take the old man's pulse. "I noticed you coughed a couple of times while we were eating. Let me check your pulse. When we get to Lanzhou, I'll prepare some medicinal food for you and send it over. You can eat it once a day; it will be good for your health."

Grandpa Jiang was extremely surprised, "You can also take pulses and make medicinal meals?"

Su Yan was already taking his pulse, and Jiang Jingxing replied, "Ayan is skilled in many things, and she is proficient in everything. Do you know Madam Tao of Xicheng? Ayan made a medicinal diet for her, and after eating it for a few days, her old ailments were cured."

The Tao family was considered quite prominent in Beijing.

Although Grandpa Jiang is no longer in office, he still knows about the family relationships in Beijing. He doesn't know the younger generation, but he does know older generations like Grandma Tao.

He had heard that Madam Tao was in very poor health and often had to go to the hospital for check-ups. All sorts of famous doctors couldn't solve the problems, but his granddaughter-in-law could solve them in no time.

Is this really the skill of an 18-year-old girl?

Grandpa Jiang fell into deep thought.
