"Are you really going to stop me?"
"I……"
"Xiaochen, I'll talk to Grandpa, it's okay." Zhong Yan reassured him again. Although she was unhappy, she wasn't completely opposed to him. More importantly, she simply couldn't bring herself to be cruel to him.
Jiang Xiaochen's thin lips pursed slightly, looking quite worried. He brought her here to familiarize herself with the place, not to suffer losses. If he couldn't even provide the most basic protection, why would he bother going to all this trouble?
After thinking it over and over, I still can't rest easy.
Zhong Yan tiptoed and whispered a few words in his ear before walking towards the old man.
Seeing her like this, Jiang Heping's anger subsided a little: "Hmph, you're smart enough! Girl, my grandson is an outstanding one."
Therefore, you can't be bad to him.
He wasn't old and blind yet, so he could naturally see that she didn't really care much about her grandson; from the very beginning, it was Jiang Xiaochen who had been accommodating her.
Zhong Yan paused for a moment and didn't respond for a long time. Mainly, she didn't know how to tell him. In her heart, she still felt that their relationship was progressing too fast and that it wasn't good for them.
Is a relationship where you can't even promise each other the most basic future really good?
Jiang Heping was unaware of her hesitation. Of course, even if he had known, there was nothing he could do. As Jiang Xiaochen had said before, once he made up his mind, he would not easily turn back.
It's always been like this, from childhood to adulthood!
There's no reason for things to suddenly change now.
"Girl, can you tell this old man where you came from now?"
“I…I have no background.” Zhong Yan paused before saying, “Both my parents are dead, and my only grandmother was also murdered and passed away a few days ago. Now I only have myself.”
These words were not meant to seek sympathy; they were simply an expression of his own background.
Jiang Heping paused slightly, not expecting her to say such a thing. More importantly, she remained calm throughout, as if the matter had no impact on her.
But in fact, that's not the case at all.
The slight pause she made while speaking just now already revealed a lot!
"So, how do you feel about yourself and Jiang Xiaochen..."
“I know you might not agree to us being together, but what I want to say is that he likes me, and I like him. Whether you agree or not, we will try to be together.” Zhong Yan smiled, looking completely open and honest. “I was just overthinking things. I felt that this relationship was progressing too fast, which wasn’t a good thing. But now that it’s in front of you, I can only face it.”
That damned Jiang Xiaochen, he really made a brilliant move!
Perhaps he had already seen through her little scheme, thinking she wouldn't do anything to him and that he would eventually have to compromise? Obviously, that's quite possible.
Seeing her face turn pale and then red, Jiang Heping knew she was quite angry. Recalling the conversation between her and his grandson when he entered the room, he understood everything.
It seems that things aren't as bad as my grandson thought!
"Ahem, girl, I don't think Xiaochen feels very safe."
"this……"
“I know my grandson. He only acts on his own because he lacks a sense of security. Otherwise, he would never force you to do anything.” Jiang Heping said calmly, “Since you two have come this far, I will represent the Jiang family to acknowledge you as my granddaughter-in-law.”
