Because the person who called was Gu Qingya’s grandfather, Old Man Gu.
He is also the best person to Jiang Fan in the entire Gu family!
Before the divorce, although the Gu family had not completely exposed their ugly faces, they were only polite to Jiang Fan on the surface.
Old Master Gu really treated Jiang Fan as his grandson-in-law, caring for him in every way. He often invited Jiang Fan to his home to cook delicious food, and even gave Jiang Fan red envelopes from his own pension.
Of course, Jiang Fan would not take the old man's money. He secretly put it in his tea box.
The old man was the first person who made Jiang Fan feel the warmth of family, so he couldn't refuse his call.
"Xiao Fan, why haven't you come to see grandpa recently? Grandpa has learned several new chess moves and wants to have a few games with you." The old man's familiar voice came from the phone.
"Grandpa, I'm quite busy lately. I'll come play chess with you when I'm free." Jiang Fan said with a smile.
The old man’s biggest hobby is playing chess, but he is a terrible chess player and is often beaten by himself even when he is giving himself a lot of money.
However, Jiang Fan admired his spirit of fighting again and again despite repeated failures.
"Don't be free. Tomorrow is grandpa's birthday. You can't not come, right? Did you have a fight with Qingya?" the old man asked curiously.
"No...no." Jiang Fan was afraid that the old man would be furious when he knew his granddaughter was getting divorced, so he had to lie.
"Okay, I'll wait for you tomorrow." The old man smiled and hung up the phone.
"Oh..." Jiang Fan sighed, feeling helpless.
"Brother-in-law, you are cheating on me! You have a dog outside!" At this time, Zhao Xiaofei listened to the voice on the phone and shouted with a look of grievance.
"Don't talk nonsense, it's my ex-wife's home." Jiang Fan gave a brief explanation.
"Brother-in-law, your ex-wife is too much! She still asks you for help even after we've divorced! How about this, you take me with you, and I'll support you and outshine your ex-wife, making her feel ashamed and never dare to harass you again!" Zhao Xiaofei said angrily, holding her hands on her waist.
"You? You little liar. Grow up a few more years. Your sister is about the same age." Jiang Fan glanced at Zhao Xiaofei's petite body and shook his head.
"Hmph! You look down on me! Come here, touch me, touch me! Who are you mocking for not developing well?" Zhao Xiaofei puffed out her chest and leaned towards Jiang Fan.
"Get out of here! Take a taxi back by yourself. I'm scared of you!" Jiang Fan shook his head, quickly got into the car, and drove away as fast as he could.
The two Zhao sisters are truly annoying little devils! Especially the younger sister, who is even more open than her elder sister. She is truly better than her elder sister!
"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, don't go!" Zhao Xiaofei hurriedly chased after him upon seeing this, but ended up getting a mouthful of exhaust fumes, which made her so angry that she stomped her feet repeatedly!
If you, a school beauty, want to take a ride, you wonder how many luxury cars are lined up to pick you up!
But now he was abandoned by Jiang Fan. It's too much!
However, because of this, she couldn't help but become more interested in Jiang Fan! She felt that this man was completely different from those coquettish bitches out there!
It’s a pity... my sister has already gotten there first!
…
The next day, Jiang Fan attended his 80th birthday for the sake of the old man and came to the very familiar Gu family house.
The old man has always been frugal and doesn't like extravagance, so he didn't go to a big hotel. He set up a small table at home, and all the people who came were relatives of the Gu family.
Before Jiang Fan walked into the door, he saw Gu Qingya pacing at the door, occasionally picking up her cell phone to make calls, looking very nervous.
Gu Qingya finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Jiang Fan coming. She quickly ran over and said, "Jiang Fan, thank you for coming! I knew you wouldn't be so cruel!"
"Don't be so self-indulgent. I'm not attacking you, I'm attacking the old man." Jiang Fan answered coldly, not giving Gu Qingya a good look at all.
"I..." Gu Qingya wanted to explain what happened last time, but when she saw Jiang Fan like this, she shook her head and swallowed her words.
"Then let's go in. I have already talked to my mom and the others, and they will help keep it a secret." Gu Qingya had no choice but to answer.
Jiang Fan nodded and followed Gu Qingya into the living room.
I saw that the big round table in the living room was almost full. Old Master Gu sat in the main seat, followed by his three sons and their respective families.
Jiang Fan originally wanted to sit with Gu Qingya, but he found that his ex-father-in-law Gu Zhiguo and ex-mother-in-law Li Cuilan only reserved one seat for Gu Qingya, and there was no place for him at all.
"Xiao Fan, you're here. I've been waiting for you! Come, come, sit next to grandpa!" Fortunately, the old man liked Jiang Fan the most and specially reserved a seat for Jiang Fan. Seeing this, he immediately greeted him.
This partiality also aroused the dissatisfaction of Gu Qingya's second aunt. She already hated the fact that the old man handed over the Gu Group to Gu Zhiguo's family, so she took the opportunity to mock Jiang Fan, Gu Zhiguo's most useless son-in-law, saying: "Jiang Fan, what gift did you bring for the old man's birthday? You didn't just bring a mouth to eat and drink for free!"
"Yes, Grandpa's 80th birthday couldn't be sloppy, so we've carefully prepared a lot of gifts! Even though your cousin just graduated, he's working for a big tech company with a very high salary, over 10,000 yuan a month! This time, he spent all his salary just to buy Grandpa a bottle of good wine!"
"You don't know, that wine costs tens of thousands!" Gu Qingya's third aunt also joined in and showed off her son.
"That's right! Not to mention our Gu Meng, he is a civil servant and a person who eats the government's food! This time he specially brought good cigarettes distributed by the unit for the old man!" Second Aunt also boasted again.
"The old man has quit smoking for over a year, so please don't send him cigarettes."
"I know the old man loves to drink tea, so I took some tea leaves." Jiang Fan took out a small bag of extremely precious Dahongpao mother tree tea leaves and said.
There are only six mother trees of Dahongpao in the country. They are the ancestors of all Dahongpao, hundreds of years old and extremely rare.
Of course, the production is also pitifully low, less than one kilogram per year, and it is specially shipped to the important people in Beijing. Outsiders can't buy it even if they have money.
"Hahaha, the amount of tea you have is too little, right? Such a small bag, is it one or two taels? Could it be a sample given out by a tea shop for an event?" Second Aunt laughed upon seeing this.
"That's right! If you don't want to give it as a gift, you don't have to. Who are you trying to make laugh by bringing out such a small amount of tea? This little thing is not even enough for my dog to have a bite!" Third Aunt also laughed so hard that she fell over!
"Jiang Fan, please stop bringing shame to our family!" Jiang Fan's ex-mother-in-law Li Cuilan was so angry that she threw the broken tea leaves directly on the ground!
As expected, this kind of useless son-in-law is not worth having. He is here to cause trouble on purpose!
