☆, Mr. Yang, sixty-eight
After having lunch at Su's house, the two went to Yang's house. Yang Linxin's parents returned to the capital a day earlier than her. When the two arrived at Yang's house, Yang Linxin's mother was already waiting at the door.
Yang Linxin's father is the second child in the family and is the second son of Mr. Yang. He joined the army when he was young and started doing business after retiring. Later, because of some business disputes with the eldest son of the Yang family, he brought his wife and daughter to Yuncheng to start from scratch and established the Linxin Cosmetics Brand Company.
Although there is a conflict between the eldest and second sons of the Yang family, they appear to be harmonious in front of Old Man Yang. However, almost all businessmen in the circle know that the Yang family has three sons, and the eldest son Yang Mu and the second son Yang Chen are incompatible with each other. However, no one dares to interfere in the internal affairs of the Yang family.
"Lin Xin, An An." Yang Lin Xin's mother, who is also the second daughter-in-law of the Yang family, actually doesn't like Xia An An. After all, their daughter suffered a lot because of Xia An An, and she has also heard about some of the things this girl has done, so she has some prejudices against her.
But since her daughter defended Xia Anan so much, she had to hide her inner dissatisfaction.
"Hello, Auntie." Xia Anan greeted her obediently, but Madam Yang Er only responded indifferently, then pulled her daughter inside: "Why are you here so late? Is there a traffic jam on the road?"
Yang Linxin pulled Xia Anan to her side and said, "Mom, I went to Anan's house for dinner! That's why I'm late."
"An An's home?" Madam Yang frowned. Does Xia An An have a home in the imperial capital?
Yang Linxin hugged Xia Anan and said, "Now Anan is the adopted daughter of Chairman Su of Chenyue Entertainment Group. After seeing grandpa, I will send Anan back to the Su family."
Yang Linxin's words stunned Mrs. Yang Er for a moment. Although she had heard that the Su family had adopted a daughter, she didn't expect that it was Xia Anan in front of her.
"Lin Xin is here." At this time, a woman who was older than Madam Yang came over. Yang Lin Xin frowned when she saw the newcomer, then nodded: "Auntie."
The visitor was Yang Linxin's aunt, who was also the daughter-in-law of the eldest son of the Yang family. She was extremely sarcastic and mean, and a typical snob, so Yang Linxin had never liked the Yang Mu family since she was a child.
None of them are good people.
"Who is this?" Madam Yang looked at Xia Anan, took a look at her plain clothes, and curled her lips in disdain: "Lin Xinna, with your status and position, what kind of friends are you looking for?"
Xia Anan frowned: "Hello, Auntie, my name is Xia Anan, and I'm Lin Xin's friend."
"You are the girl from the Xia family who was in jail." Mrs. Yang looked even more disdainful after knowing Xia Anan's identity. How dare a woman who was in jail come to their house.
"Okay, okay, go in and let the child see her grandfather first." Yang Linxin's mother didn't want to pay any more attention to Mrs. Yang.
Pulling her daughter into the house, Xia Anan hurriedly followed.
This Madam Yang's words were really rude and her tone was sarcastic. She didn't like this person... Although Aunt Yang didn't like her very much, she at least respected her. After all, she was her daughter's friend. But this Madam Yang... would step on her whenever she got the chance.
When she walked into the villa, it was not as luxurious as she had imagined. The villa was decorated in an ancient style. Mr. Yang was now 85 years old. He was a veteran who had experienced wars and made military achievements. Later, he became the head of a military region. After retirement, he settled in the imperial capital and enjoyed his old age with his old wife, supporting each other.
"Grandpa! Grandma!" The couple are already many years old, but they are still in good health.
"Oh! Lin Xin is back!" Old Madam Yang's hair has turned completely white, but her back is still straight, but the scars on her face cannot be hidden after all.
"Grandma! Lin Xin misses you so much!" Yang Lin Xin hugged Old Madam Yang all of a sudden: "Where's my grandpa?"
"Your grandfather has been waiting for you for a long time. Go see him." Old Madam Yang patted Yang Linxin's back, then looked at Xia Anan beside her: "This is Anan, right?"
Upon hearing this, Xia Anan hurried over and said, "Hello, grandma."
"Oh, good, it's a good child." Old Madam Yang looked at Xia Anan with a smile. Seeing this, Madam Yang said, "Mom, I'll take the child to see Dad first."
"Well, go quickly." Old Madam Yang nodded.
After going upstairs, Yang Linxin walked forward in a hurry. Madam Yang and Xia Anan walked side by side behind her. Madam Yang said, "Anan, when you go in later, let Lin Xin talk to her grandfather first. Don't speak casually."
Old Master Yang is over eighty years old and has been a soldier for decades. He hates people who lack courtesy the most. He can act a little wild with people close to him, like Yang Linxin, but this girl Xia Anan is meeting Old Master Yang for the first time after all. If she accidentally makes the old man unhappy, she will never be able to gain a foothold in the imperial capital in the future, even if she has the Su family.
"Auntie, thank you." Xia Anan walked to the door, thanked Madam Yang Er, and followed her in.
Yang Linxin rushed into the house and shouted, "Grandpa! I'm back!"
Yang Zhengjun looked at his granddaughter and was about to stand up and greet her with a smile, but when he saw his daughter-in-law at the door, he immediately became serious: "Grandpa, I'm not deaf! Why are you shouting?"
"Oh, it's been a long time since I last came to see you. Doesn't your granddaughter miss you?" Yang Linxin pulled Xia Anan in and closed the door.
After seeing the door closed, Yang Zhengjun finally revealed a kind smile: "You little stinky girl, you still know you have a grandfather!"
"That...that can't be forgotten." Yang Linxin walked up to Yang Zhengjun, gave him a gentle hug, and then walked over to Xia Anan: "Grandpa! This is Anan! Isn't she prettier than your granddaughter?"
Yang Zhengjun looked up at Xia Anan, then said kindly: "You are Xia Yatou."
"Grandpa Yang..." Xia Anan became a little nervous. After all, Lin Xin's mother had just told her not to talk nonsense... But looking at Grandpa Yang, he didn't sound so... serious.
Yang Zhengjun pointed to a chair nearby and said, "Sit down. I've been hearing Lin Xin keep talking about you in my ears, so I've long wanted to see what this girl looks like."
"Grandpa, didn't I show you the photos?" Yang Linxin leaned on Yang Zhengjun.
Yang Zhengjun glared at her: "Every time you come back it's because of this girl, of course I'm jealous!"
"Hahahaha, Grandpa, what nonsense are you talking about!" Yang Linxin laughed out loud: "Today An An wants to thank you, Grandpa!"
Xia Anan also remembered the purpose of her visit and took out a wooden box from her handbag: "Grandpa Yang, I'm making this presumptuous visit to thank you for your previous help, and to wish you a happy birthday in advance."
She handed the wooden box to Yang Zhengjun and said, "I heard from Lin Xin that you like collecting antiques. It just so happened that you got a Ming Dynasty gold bracelet a while ago. I'm giving it to Grandpa Yang as a birthday gift."
Upon hearing that it was an antique, Yang Zhengjun reached out and took the wooden box and opened it. Inside the box was a pair of gold bracelets, but they looked particularly worn out after having gone through the long course of history.
"This..." Yang Zhengjun looked at Yang Linxin: "This is the real thing!"
"Hehe, this is a gift from An An, please accept it." Yang Linxin winked at Xia An An.
The latter lowered his head and curled his lips.
"Girl, I've heard more or less about your situation from Lin Xin. If you need my help, just ask. After all, you and Lin Xin have been friends since childhood."
"Grandpa Yang... thank you." Xia Anan thanked her from the bottom of her heart: "You have helped me a lot before." If it weren't for Yang Linxin, she would not have been able to gain a foothold in the imperial capital. It was also the old man in front of her who found a top-notch psychological counselor in the country for her, and the hospital was also arranged by this old man, so in the first two years, this old man Yang also gave her a lot of help.
"Actually, your problem is not difficult to solve, but there may be other forces behind the Xia family, otherwise it would not have dragged on until now. Besides, the Xia family is in Yuncheng, and my reach is limited. Even I can't find out." Yang Zhengjun sighed.
"Grandpa Yang, I have now completely separated from the Xia family and will not have anything to do with the Xia family in the future." Xia Anan said softly.
The old man looked at her and asked, "Do you plan to continue developing in the imperial capital or return to Yuncheng?"
Xia An paused and then chuckled, "Let's go back to Yuncheng."
"Why?" Yang Zhengjun was puzzled. The Xia family was clearly rooted in Yuncheng, so why did she go back?
"My husband is in Yuncheng." Xia Anan acknowledged Nan Jinnian's identity.
But Yang Linxin lowered his eyes, then smiled and said, "Grandpa, An An is deeply loved by someone!"
Yang Zhengjun looked at Yang Linxin in surprise: "Oh?" Then he looked at Xia Anan: "Which kid? Could it be the kid from the Nan family that Lin Xin mentioned before?"
"Yes." Xia Anan nodded gently: "Grandpa Yang, we really received a lot of care from you... Thank you very much." Xia Anan lowered her head and looked very sincere.
Yang Linxin stood up and took Xia Anan's hand: "Grandpa, they have expressed their gratitude so much, you have to express your gratitude! And they gave you such a valuable gift!"
Yang Zhengjun chuckled when he heard this: "Xia girl, you are Lin Xin's friend, and the Xia family has indeed gone too far. I, an old man, have been a soldier for so many years and I can't tolerate people like this! Don't worry, as long as I am here, no one can touch you!"
Listening to Yang Zhengjun's words, Xia Anan felt a surge of emotion in her heart, so she said, "Grandpa Yang, thank you."
"Hahaha, stop thanking me all the time. I hate hearing that the most." Yang Zhengjun waved his hand.
"An'an, isn't my grandpa very kind!" Yang Linxin looked at Xia An'an.
