Chapter 64: Why live outside?



I didn't expect that Xu Zhixia, at such a young age, could be so organized and not impulsive anymore.

This made Second Aunt Jiang extremely angry, but she could do nothing about it.

Seeing that the opinions of the people around her were becoming more and more extreme, she stomped her feet hard on the spot.

Without caring about anything else, he fled from here.

There was no smile on Xu Zhixia's face. Looking at the expression on Second Aunt Jiang's face, one could tell how much Haohao had suffered in the Jiang family.

She couldn't help but wonder, is Mr. Jiang really good to Haohao?

Is there any meaning in coming here this time?

Just when Xu Zhixia was lost in his own thoughts, a white-haired old man walked out tremblingly from a distance.

When Haohao saw him, his eyes lit up, and he ran over quickly with his little legs and hugged the old man's thighs.

Called affectionately: "Grandpa."

A hint of surprise flashed in Xu Zhixia's eyes. It was the first time she saw Haohao with such an expression.

It was completely different from when I met Jiang Han. I felt completely relaxed.

She immediately dismissed the thought that had just popped up in her mind. Mr. Jiang must have truly loved Haohao.

Although Mr. Jiang is very old, his back is straight and you can tell at a glance that he came from the army.

His sharp gaze fell on Xu Zhixia, and a hint of warmth flashed in his eyes.

His old hand touched Haohao's head and whispered, "Be good."

Then he looked up at Xu Zhixia and said, "You must be Comrade Xu, right? I heard my Hanzhi say so."

"Thank you for saving Haohao on the train, otherwise..."

His tone was full of pain, as if he was thinking of the time when Haohao had just gone missing.

Although he didn't say the rest of the words, Zhixia understood what he meant, and her heart immediately sank to the bottom.

Xu Zhixia took a step forward, smiled faintly, and said politely, "You're welcome."

"No matter who it is, if they encounter that kind of situation, they will take the initiative to help."

Old Master Jiang smiled without saying anything, his admiration for Xu Zhixia growing stronger and stronger.

His peripheral vision fell on the crowd of onlookers. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Why don't we go inside and talk?"

Xu Zhixia and Zhou An naturally would not refuse. They happily agreed and followed Mr. Jiang to the Jiang family.

The others saw that there was no excitement, and a hint of regret flashed across their eyes, but they soon left.

The Jiang family's house is a quadrangle courtyard. It looks ordinary from the outside, but when you walk in, you will find that there is something else inside.

Whether it is the blue bricks paving the ground or the quaint decorations, it can be seen that this house is old.

It is a very rare place that cannot be obtained with money alone.

The Xu family’s small villa is far inferior to this place.

Mr. Jiang waved his hand and said, "A Ming, go make two cups of tea."

The man in his forties standing next to him bowed his head slightly and walked out calmly.

Xu Zhixia subconsciously looked in the direction he was looking, and only looked away after a moment.

Old Master Jiang noticed this and took the initiative to explain: "This is a relative of mine."

Because of the special circumstances of this era, it is impossible to hire a nanny or housekeeper.

This so-called relative is something that everyone knows well.

Xu Zhixia was no exception, but she did not show it and just gave a decent smile.

She placed the gift she had prepared long ago on the table and said politely, "It's my first visit, so I brought you something."

Old Master Jiang frowned, looking somewhat dignified. His voice was filled with dissatisfaction as he said coldly, "You're here now, what are you bringing?"

If someone didn't know him, they would probably be scared to the point of trembling legs, but Xu Zhixia could feel that he had no ill intentions at all.

Xu Zhixia explained openly, "You are my elder after all. This is my first time visiting your home, so how can I not bring anything?"

"Besides, I brought some food with me, so I felt comfortable staying and eating."

She defused the question with a playful wink.

Old Master Jiang burst into a hearty laugh, looked at Xu Zhixia and said helplessly: "Then I'll accept it this time, but you can't buy anything next time."

Xu Zhixia smiled and nodded. Next time is the next matter. Anyway, it has been sent out this time.

Mr. Jiang was a straightforward person, so he simply got straight to the point: "I heard that you want to adopt Haohao as your godparents? I have no objection."

"Let's find a good day and settle this matter."

"This child has a miserable life. It's his blessing to meet you."

There was a flicker of pain in his eyes, as if he was recalling something from the past.

Xu Zhixia comforted him softly, "Everything will be fine."

In order to prevent Mr. Jiang from continuing to recall those painful memories.

Xu Zhixia quickly changed the subject: "Speaking of which, when we came in, we saw a woman. Is that Haohao's second aunt?"

When this was mentioned, a hint of disgust flashed across Mr. Jiang's brows.

He said coldly, "Not anymore. I've already kicked that bastard out and started my own business. From now on, our two Jiang families will have nothing to do with each other."

There was a flash of surprise in Xu Zhixia's eyes. He didn't expect that Mr. Jiang would go to such lengths for Haohao.

But after thinking about it, I felt it made sense.

If she had a son like this, she would definitely want to kick him out.

She winked at Haohao, and Haohao nodded his delicate little face.

He raised his head and whispered to Old Man Jiang, "Grandpa, I will always be by your side."

The soft tone of voice made Mr. Jiang's eyes flicker with tenderness.

The corners of his mouth curled up into a comfortable smile.

At least the eldest and the third brother never let him down.

After settling the matter of Haohao, Xu Zhixia originally wanted to leave with Zhou An.

But unable to resist Mr. Jiang's repeated invitations, the group stayed.

When Mr. Jiang learned that they were staying at the guesthouse, he spoke without hesitation: "We are home, why would you live outside? Just come over."

Xu Zhixia smiled politely and patiently explained, "It's mainly because of a reason. We brought Haohao to see you on the way. We'll go home in two days."

Apparently Jiang Hanzhi had also told Mr. Jiang about this matter, so Mr. Jiang didn't dwell on it for too long.

After inviting them to have a meal, I watched them leave reluctantly.

To be precise, he watched Haohao leave with reluctance.

A hint of helplessness flashed in Xu Zhixia's eyes, and she could only hold Haohao and quicken her pace.

Because just now she asked Haohao's opinion, asking Haohao if he wanted to stay at the Jiang family for two days, and Haohao refused without hesitation.

Although Haohao likes his grandfather very much, he likes the latter more than Xu Zhixia.

But he is the only one who knows about this.
