"Brother Tie Tou, why are you staring at me? Is my face blooming?" Xia Anyan noticed that Tie Tou had been staring at her face the whole time.
She had business dealings with Tie Tou and genuinely didn't want any other relationship with him.
If Tie Tou were to have any inappropriate thoughts, she would have to nip them in the bud.
"Oh, girl, I just think you're too beautiful. As a man, isn't it normal to like looking at beautiful things?"
"But don't worry, I'm very clear-headed. I know you have a family and you definitely won't have any improper thoughts. So don't worry, you don't need to be on guard against me all the time."
See? That's what a smart person is like.
They will explain everything clearly and will never leave any misunderstandings.
This is why Xia Anyan felt comfortable cooperating with Tie Tou.
She smiled at Tie Tou and said, "Brother Tie Tou, although you look a bit fierce, you're a very good person. Don't worry, I'll definitely introduce you to a beautiful wife when the opportunity arises."
The two chatted idly for a while longer, and when they saw that it was almost time, Xia Anyan finally turned to leave.
She told her family when she left that she would be returning home, and they would definitely be worried if she returned late.
Even though she arrived home right on time, Zhang Jun'an and Gu's parents were already waiting for her at the guesthouse entrance when she got back.
The three of them breathed a sigh of relief when they saw her return.
Xia Anyan was carrying some pastries she had bought, as well as a steaming roast duck.
She waved the things in her hand: "Mom and Dad, do you know I bought something good, so you're waiting for me here at the door? Look, I bought a roast duck from Quanjude! Let's go in and try it quickly, it won't taste good if it gets cold."
She made a witty remark, which made the three of them laugh.
She's a girl who loves to eat, and she's not very old.
Moreover, she returned on time as scheduled and did nothing wrong, so they had no reason to criticize her.
The three of them swallowed the scolding that was on the tip of their tongues and went back to their room together.
The old man's eyes lit up as soon as he saw the things Xia Anyan had bought.
"Oh, my dear granddaughter, how did you know I wanted to eat roast duck today, and these soft and fluffy pastries? You can't find this kind of flavor where we're from."
That's why Xia Anyan is known for her love of food. With a grandfather like that around, it's no wonder she inherited it.
Zhang Junan was amused: "Dad, take it easy, these pastries are too sweet, you'd better eat less of them."
Elderly people should not eat too many sweets, otherwise it will be bad for their health.
The old man always forgets, and I have to remind him.
Upon hearing this, the old man pouted and said unhappily, "I'm so old, and this is my only hobby. If I don't eat it now, am I supposed to wait until I die to eat it?"
The old man is usually very easy to talk to, but he always gets angry whenever this matter is brought up.
But Zhang Junan would still remind him every time.
For ten years, it has remained unchanged.
Xia Anyan saw this and smiled.
"Grandpa, I think Dad is right. If you eat less of this stuff, you can live a few more years and then eat even more, right?"
"Besides, the flavors that master pastry chefs can develop these days are limited. If you keep eating the same things, you'll definitely get tired of them. Why don't we live a few more years and wait for those pastry chefs to develop other flavors? You can try more of them then, wouldn't that be a win?"
Xia Anyan's words were somewhat disrespectful, but the old man didn't seem to see anything wrong with them. Instead, he nodded in a seemingly respectful manner.
"Hmm, you're so smart, girl. Okay, then I'll eat less from now on."
As she spoke, she turned her gaze to Zhang Jun'an: "Jun'an, you'd better remind me more often in the future, and don't forget."
Zhang Junan's lips twitched, and he couldn't help but give Xia Anyan a thumbs up. To be honest, this girl's tricks really work.
Xia Anyan grinned.
Hehe, she only said what he wanted because she knew that this was the only hobby the old man had.
The old man wants to keep eating because he feels he doesn't have many years left to live, so he wants to eat as much as he can while he still can.
But if you tell him that eating less of these things can help him live a few more years, he would definitely be willing to do so.
Although the words may be harsh, the reasoning behind them is sound.
Especially since Xia Anyan is his own granddaughter, her words carry even more weight.
Having resolved this troublesome matter, the group sat down to prepare for their roast duck.
Beijing's roast duck is very famous, and many people travel thousands of miles to come here just to taste it.
Since they have the means, why don't they eat more?
Moreover, they all have money in their hands, so even if they eat a few more, they won't go broke.
During dinner, Xia Anyan suddenly remembered Tie Sanfeng. She felt she should tell her family.
So, Xia Anyan briefly explained the situation to her family. However, she didn't specify what kind of business she and Tie Tou were doing. Everyone knew what was going on, and no one pressed for details.
However, upon hearing the name "Tie Sanfeng," the entire family frowned as if by conditioned reflex.
“Daughter, that Tie Sanfeng and her man don’t seem like good people. If this isn’t handled properly, it could affect you. Are you really sure you want them to stay in your yard and guard you?” Zhang Jun’an frowned, expressing his concerns.
Mr. and Mrs. Gu also frowned, seemingly sharing the same thoughts.
Xia Anyan looked at the old man, seemingly waiting for his answer.
After a long silence, the old man finally spoke: "Although it's a bit risky, since you're willing to believe in her, then give her a chance."
"You just said that you've already instructed Tie Tou to keep an eye on things over there. They're in a balance of power now, so they'll definitely do a good job for you. There's no harm in not using someone like that."
The old man was a smart man, and he understood what his granddaughter wanted to do, so he could figure it out.
But it must be said that the old man is really open-minded; he's not afraid that Xia Anyan will be taken advantage of.
Xia Anyan smiled at the old man: "Grandpa, you really understand me."
The old man snorted coldly: "If it weren't for my poor health these past few years, which is why I had to leave you alone with your useless father, I would know you better."
Xia Anyan revealed her four little tiger teeth and smiled, her eyes crinkling.
She knew that the old man understood her best, which was why she was willing to say these things.
It's not that she doesn't want to talk about it because others don't understand her. It's just that she finds it troublesome to explain herself afterward.
Now that's great, someone can directly understand what she means, which eliminates the need for explanation, which is fantastic!
