Chapter 190 Don’t Lie to Me
I smiled guiltily and didn't explain directly. Instead, I cleverly changed the subject and talked to my grandma about the competition I was about to participate in.
We walked and talked, the topics were sometimes light and sometimes deep, and before we knew it, it was time for lunch.
Grandma suggested excitedly: "Let's go out to eat. I'm tired of the food here."
Thinking of the last accident, I was a little hesitant and didn’t dare to take her out to eat casually. After all, I didn’t know her usual dietary restrictions. If something went wrong, I couldn’t afford the responsibility.
I quietly looked at the servant standing by and asked with my eyes if grandma could go out for dinner. The servant came over, nodded gently, and said, "Grandma can go out with proper protection, but the family has prepared food for grandma and is on the way."
I looked at grandma with some embarrassment. Grandma's temper came up again. She turned her head and muttered, "I'm tired of eating this. I want to go out to eat."
I understand that grandma actually wants to go out for a walk and get some fresh air. As for what to eat, she may not care too much.
So I squatted down, held her hands with both of my hands, and discussed with her in a kind way: "Then let's go to the doctor to ask if you have any dietary restrictions, so that we can go out to eat, okay?"
After hearing this, grandma reluctantly nodded and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you at the door. Don't lie to me."
The old lady was very smart. She was afraid that I would not take her out, so she refused to go back to the building with me and insisted on waiting for me at the hospital entrance.
I had no choice but to go back quickly. After learning about my grandma's dietary restrictions from the doctor, I was ready to push my grandma away. But who would have thought that I would run into an old lady who was delivering food. When she saw me pushing my grandma out, she rushed over, grabbed the wheelchair tightly, and shouted in a sharp voice: "You jinx, are you not satisfied with not killing grandma? Are you still taking her out to take risks?"
I helplessly explained again: "Auntie Wang, I just took grandma out for a meal and will be back soon. I have also asked the doctor, and the doctor said that grandma can go out."
Grandma also quickly stood by my side and spoke to me: "Yes, Aunt Wang, this is my own decision. It has nothing to do with Momo. Please don't stop us."
But the aunt had already had a grudge against me, and now she insisted that I was trying to harm grandma. She refused to let us leave and even took out her cell phone to call Grandpa Jiang.
Because there were so many people coming and going in front of the hospital, we didn't want to argue with her so as not to attract more attention.
Not long after, Grandpa Jiang came over. The aunt seemed to have someone to back her up, and immediately pointed at my nose and said to Grandpa Jiang: "It was him, when I came over just now, he was about to push the old lady out, if I hadn't come in time, mom wouldn't even know that he had sold her out."
My heart tightened, thinking that Mr. Jiang would scold me, but he interrupted the old lady in a stern voice: "Shut up! You are talking nonsense without knowing the facts!"
His attitude made us all stunned for a moment. But the next second, Mr. Jiang's behavior made me even more confused. He smiled and said to me: "I'm relieved if you take grandma out. I'll pay for the meal. Where are you going? I'll ask the driver to take you there."
His attitude made me even more afraid to take grandma out. I wondered if he was plotting against me. I hurriedly said, "If it's not convenient, I'll take grandma out another day."
But Mr. Jiang waved his hand and said, "It's okay. Don't listen to that crazy woman. If you are really worried, I can take you out together and I will treat you."
As he said that, Mr. Jiang called the driver to help push grandma into the car. Grandma also advised me, "Since someone is treating us, let's go and have a meal."
I looked at my grandmother and then at Grandpa Jiang. It was really hard to refuse, so I had to bite the bullet and go with them.
The old lady was left there, looking shocked.
Mr. Jiang chose a Chinese restaurant with elegant decoration, pleasant environment and warm atmosphere.
During the whole meal, he looked at me with a kind face and his voice became much more amiable. I was really overwhelmed by his sudden enthusiasm and couldn't help wondering: What was he trying to achieve by being so enthusiastic?
When the waiter brought the menu, Mr. Jiang handed it to me with a smile and said enthusiastically, "Take a look at what you like to eat. Is there anything you cannot eat? Order for yourself."
I took the menu but didn't rush to look through it. Instead, I smiled awkwardly and mustered up the courage to say, "Uncle Jiang, if you have anything to say, just tell me. I feel a little uneasy when you're being so polite."
Hearing this, Mr. Jiang's smile froze for a moment, then he regained his amiable look. He gently put down the teacup in his hand and said slowly, "Actually, it's nothing serious. I'm just very happy to see you being so filial to grandma. We haven't had such a warm scene in the Jiang family for a long time. I hope you can continue to take care of grandma like this and let her live a happier life in her later years."
After listening to what Mr. Jiang said, I felt a little more relaxed, but I still remained vigilant.
"Uncle Jiang, if you have anything to say, just tell me directly." I said straight to the point, hoping to resolve the real issue behind this meal as soon as possible.
Mr. Jiang smiled awkwardly, as if he was having a hard time speaking, but he finally spoke: "I'd like you to persuade Jiang Yichen to return to the company."
I also know a little about this matter. The company has been in a mess recently. Since Jiang Yichen left, Mr. Jiang is obviously a little overwhelmed and unable to deal with the company's problems alone. Therefore, he wants to use my power to get Jiang Yichen back to the company.
I just smiled and listened to his story patiently, then slowly replied: "This is Jiang Yichen's decision, I can't influence him. And you also know that our current situation is mainly to take care of grandma and make her happy. So, you may have found the wrong person."
At this time, the grandmother also stepped forward to help persuade him, "There is no overnight hatred between father and son, especially when it comes to our own company. We all hope that he can come back."
I know grandma doesn’t know the reason, so she speaks on Jiang Yichen’s side.
I looked at my grandma helplessly and could only agree: "Okay, grandma, let's eat first."
However, the meal was tasteless.
