Chapter 13 "Thank you, Mrs. Xu, for seeking justice for me."

Jiang Nuanzhu lingered in the bedroom for a while before going downstairs. Xu Heyi and Old Man Jiang were sitting by the bamboo forest in the corridor playing chess.

An old man and a young boy, with leisurely postures, their hands settled on chess pieces, and tea boiling beside them.

Mother Li is preparing afternoon tea in the kitchen.

Jiang Nuanzhu took a look and followed in to help.

In the middle of the process, the dance studio called, and Jiang Nuanzhu answered the call and resolved some issues.

When I turned around, the chess table was already filled with tea and cakes.

Jiang Nuanzhu approached and saw that the chess game was almost coming to an end. He asked softly, "How about taking a break first?"

Old Master Jiang threw the chess piece in his hand and waved his hand, saying, "No more, no more. Didn't you see Ah Zhu urging you?"

Jiang Nuanzhu smiled helplessly and said, "Grandpa, the trend of the chess game is already very clear. It doesn't matter if you wait a little longer. You can still finish it."

Old Master Jiang is playing with black pieces, while Xu Heyi is playing with white pieces. Now it is clear that black pieces are at a disadvantage.

"The old man is hungry. He can't move anymore." Old Master Jiang pretended not to hear, picked up a handkerchief to wipe his hands, and muttered softly: "Don't know how to let the old man go."

Jiang Nuanzhu raised an eyebrow and said softly, "Grandpa, this is called playing tricks."

Old Master Jiang snorted lightly, unable to hide his smile, "It's only been a short time, and you're already protecting me?"

Jiang Nuanzhu's fair face flushed slightly, but she said calmly, "I'm just upholding justice."

Xu Heyi smiled faintly and continued, "Thank you, Mrs. Xu, for doing justice for me."

After wiping his hands, he picked up the teapot, poured a cup of tea for Jiang Nuanzhu, and said softly, "Just a small token of my gratitude."

Jiang Nuanzhu smiled for a while, took a sip of the tea, and smelled the fragrance and a faint sweetness.

Old Master Jiang coughed dryly, and Xu Heyi slowly poured him another cup of tea, very considerately.

Old Master Jiang sipped his tea with a smile, "This tea is especially fragrant today."

Jiang Nuanzhu ate pear blossom jelly and drank pear blossom tea, watching Old Man Jiang enjoying the service of his grandson-in-law with a smile on her face.

Inadvertently, Xu Heyi cast a clear and moist look at him.

When their eyes met, Jiang Nuanzhu's heart skipped a beat and she quietly avoided his gaze.

But she didn't notice that the corners of her mouth were always curved upwards.

Relaxed and leisurely time always passes quickly.

Before four o'clock, Mr. Jiang urged the two to leave.

"It takes one or two hours to get to the city center, and it will be dark by the time we get to Xishan Mansion. The roads will be unsafe by then."

Jiang Nuanzhu had no choice but to get into the car reluctantly.

Li Ma carried a lot of bags and handed them to Xu Heyi, carefully instructing him: "These two cans are pear blossom tea, these four boxes are cakes, and there is also a box of pear blossom jelly. These things don't keep well, so eat them early."

Xu Heyi listened patiently.

The driver stuffed the things into the trunk, and Xu Heyi helped Jiang Nuanzhu open the car door.

After closing the car door, the surroundings suddenly became quiet.

The back seat was spacious, but as soon as Xu Heyi sat in, Jiang Nuanzhu felt the space was a bit cramped.

The elegant and mellow scent of Xu Heyi slowly penetrated into the tip of his nose, with a somewhat bewitching smell.

Jiang Nuanzhu leaned against the car door and whispered, "Thank you...today, Grandpa hasn't been this happy for a long time."

Xu Heyi spent the whole afternoon patiently accompanying Mr. Jiang.

He is gentle and steady, yet also a little casually humorous, and always manages to make Mr. Jiang happy.

Xu Heyi lowered his gaze and said slowly, "Are you happy?"

Jiang Nuanzhu's soft eyes fell on Xu Heyi's face, and she nodded slowly: "I'm very happy too."

The two looked at each other for a moment, but Jiang Nuanzhu could not bear the depth in Xu Heyi's eyes and was the first to admit defeat.

After getting out of the car, Jiang Nuanzhu suddenly said, "My parents might say something inappropriate later, so please be more tolerant."

Xu Heyi said in a deep voice: "We are a family."

Jiang Nuanzhu didn't know if the "we" he was referring to was referring to everyone in the Jiang family, or just her?

As soon as we entered the Jiang family's gate, Jiang's father and mother came with Jiang Nuanyu to greet us with smiles.

"Dad, Mom." Jiang Nuanzhu introduced Xu Heyi to them: "This is my husband, Xu Heyi."

Xu Heyi spoke politely: "Father-in-law, mother-in-law."

At the same time, he handed the gift in the driver's hand over.

Father Jiang said with a smile, "Is that He Yi? He is indeed a handsome man. The old man has good taste. Come in and sit down!"

Hearing the words "father-in-law and mother-in-law", Mr. and Mrs. Jiang smiled widely and hurriedly welcomed them in.

Jiang Nuanzhu explained: "We encountered a traffic jam on the way and were half an hour late."

"It's okay. We're fine at home anyway." Jiang's mother was a prompt person and asked directly, "Are you hungry? Wash your hands and get ready to eat."

"Um."

Jiang Nuanzhu took Xu Heyi to the table after washing their hands.

The Jiang family does not have the habit of not talking while eating or sleeping. Instead, they like to chat about some family trivial matters at the dinner table.

Jiang Nuanyu was the first to speak, her eyes unable to conceal the look of watching a show: "Sister, how did you and my brother-in-law meet? How did you get married suddenly?"

Before Jiang Nuanzhu could say anything, Xu Heyi spoke first: "Sixteen years ago, the Jiang and Xu families made a marriage contract, and agreed to discuss the marriage after Nuanzhu graduated from university."

"When did that happen? How come I've never heard of it?" Jiang Nuanyu asked in surprise, "Sixteen years ago? My sister was only nine then..."

When the word "nine years old" was mentioned, Jiang Nuanyu suddenly stopped talking.
