Chapter 76 Jiang Wang is very good to me
The car slowly drove into a modern Chinese-style manor on a hillside.
Si Yuan looked out through the glass.
This manor is ingeniously designed, seamlessly blending natural scenery with man-made landscapes. Both its layout and decoration are of a very high standard.
Si Yuan secretly thought that the owner of this place must have a very sophisticated aesthetic sense.
Jiang Wang stopped the car, and Si Yuan got out with him.
He walked around and, almost instinctively, reached out to take her hand.
Si Yuan quickly pulled away, shook her head, and said nervously, "We're about to visit someone of high status, so it's better not to."
Holding hands and being intimate in someone else's home is simply not right.
Jiang Wang looked at her hand, his lips instantly turning down, clearly showing some sadness.
Seeing him like this, Si Yuan instinctively started to coax him, not knowing why: "You hold my hand every day, it's okay if we don't for a little while, alright?"
Jiang Wang was stunned for a moment.
This was the first time she had ever heard Si Yuan coax her, and her heart softened and felt sweet.
He wanted to hold hands even more now.
"Don't worry, she'll be even happier to see us holding hands."
Si Yuan was confused and found it even more absurd.
But in the end, she couldn't resist his insistence and had to let him lead her into the villa.
Inside, the elegant Chinese style remains, with the feng shui layout and furnishings all subtly incorporating principles, especially the art pieces, which showcase a refined taste.
Jiang Wang handed the gifts to the servant who came to greet him and pulled her to sit down on the sofa.
Si Yuan's legs were already stiff from tension, and she couldn't sit down at all.
She looked at Jiang Wang, who had even crossed his legs, and hesitated, saying, "You're too casual... like you're at home."
Jiang Wang spoke frankly, smiling slightly: "Because this is my home."
Si Yuan's pupils contracted slightly, and she subconsciously looked around: "Your house? Didn't you say you were here to meet a master in the art landscaping industry?"
Before the words were finished, footsteps came from the stairs.
An elderly woman dressed in a plain-colored cheongsam walked down slowly, her silver hair neatly combed and her eyes bright.
Seeing the two holding hands, the old man's lips immediately curled into a smile: "I really didn't expect that Ah Wang would actually bring his little girlfriend?"
Si Yuan was completely stunned, her brain instantly shutting down.
Her almond-shaped eyes widened in surprise as she turned to look at Jiang Wang.
Jiang Wang stood up and pulled her firmly into his arms, smiling slyly at the old woman: "Of course, how could I dare to lie to you, sir?"
The old man slowly walked down the stairs, gave him a reproachful look, and said in a tone full of affection, "How many times have you lied to me? Every time you say you're coming to see me, you disappear without a trace."
"Wasn't this all to give you something big to hold back?"
Jiang Wang looked down and saw Si Yuan's questioning face. He smiled and introduced her: "This is my maternal grandmother—who was also your mother's teacher back then, Master Meng Yixue."
Si Yuan was startled and it took her a while to recover. Her gaze was fixed intently on Meng Yixue.
My mother often talked about her teacher.
Those words of reverence etched in my memory instantly overlapped with the gentle and refined old man before me.
Si Yuan never expected that Jiang Wang would bring her to meet her mother's former teacher.
There are so few things and people in this world related to mothers anymore; she truly never expected this…
Her nose tingled, her eyes instantly reddened, and her lips moved, but she couldn't utter a word for a long time.
Meng Yixue walked slowly to the two of them, her gaze gently falling on Si Yuan's face, as if she were sizing her up.
After a long pause, as if she had seen the shadow of an old friend, she took a few steps closer: "So, you are Dai Yuan's daughter?"
Si Yuan nodded, forcing herself not to shed tears.
Hearing her mother's name made her feel sad.
At that moment, thankfully Jiang Wang held her hand, preventing her from losing all support.
"My name is Si Yuan."
Meng Yixue nodded: "She's really pretty and well-behaved, just like your mother."
Then she glanced at Jiang Wang again and exclaimed seriously, "So how could you possibly have taken a liking to this kid?"
As she spoke, her face showed regret for Si Yuan and disdain for Jiang Wang.
Si Yuan's sadness was abruptly interrupted, taken aback by the words, and she thought she had misheard.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Wang immediately pouted, his tone displeased: "Grandma, how can you be so sabotaging me?"
Meng Yixue glanced at him, then slowly sat down on the sofa opposite her, and a maid brought over hot tea at the right time.
She said, "I don't even want to talk about all your bad habits, but don't bully Xiao Siyuan."
Jiang Wang hugged Si Yuan tightly around the waist, feeling wronged, determined to prove himself: "Who said that? I'm very good to Si Yuan, just like you are to your treasures."
As he spoke, he secretly squeezed Si Yuan's palm and mouthed for her to speak on his behalf.
Si Yuan's tense nerves finally relaxed a little.
She whispered in defense of Jiang Wang: "Grandma, he... he's a good person, he takes good care of me."
Jiang Wang raised an eyebrow smugly, a smile he couldn't hide playing on his lips.
"I don't believe it. Xiao Siyuan, come and sit here with Grandma."
Meng Yixue patted the seat next to her, her voice gentle and kind.
Si Yuan wasn't so scared anymore, and obediently walked over and sat down.
The old man leaned slightly forward, as if whispering, "My grandson has been a little devil since he was a child, very wild and unruly. Even the dogs avoid him now. If he dares to bully you..."
Before she could finish speaking, Jiang Wang rolled his eyes and reminded her, "Grandma! You're too loud, I heard you all, okay?"
Meng Yixue glanced at him sideways: "What, did I say something wrong?"
Turning to Si Yuan, she continued, "If he dares to bully you, tell Grandma, and I'll teach him a lesson. In this Jiang family, I'm the only one who doesn't fight back when I hit him. That feather duster in my room that doesn't suit my style is for him; he gets scared when he sees it."
Jiang Wang was actually chased and beaten with a feather duster?
Si Yuan could hardly imagine that scene.
She couldn't help but look at Jiang Wang, only to see that he was also looking over. As soon as their eyes met, he immediately smiled.
His smile is almost identical to his teenage years, carrying a gentle charm and his inherent arrogance.
“Grandma,” Si Yuan said softly, withdrawing her gaze, “Jiang Wang… he really treats me very well.”
She paused, her eyelashes fluttering slightly. "It's been a long time since anyone has cared about me like this."
Amidst the fragrant aroma of tea, Meng Yixue's gaze lingered on Si Yuan's face for a moment.
The old man suddenly seemed to remember something, and his eyes dimmed: "Your parents passed away early, so I'm even more afraid that you'll suffer."
She reached out and gently stroked Si Yuan's hair. "But since he treats you well, I'm relieved."
The old man's fingers paused slightly, his voice tinged with emotion: "I really didn't expect that, after all these years, you would still be here..."
"What?"
Si Yuan blinked in confusion.
Just as Meng Yixue was about to speak, a crisp sound of high heels suddenly approached from afar.
Accompanied by a "clattering" sound, a lively and clear female voice came from outside.
"I heard my brother brought his girlfriend? Where is she?"
Do you need me to help you continue the interactive plot after Jiang Wang's appearance, such as adding details of her first conversation with Si Yuan?
