"Dad, look, that's my daughter, our Fatty."
Jiang Yilu looked at Jiang Nian'an who was speaking as a representative of outstanding students, and said to Jiang Dahai who was standing beside him.
"Hmph, your father is old, but his eyes can still see. That girl is not only your daughter, but also your father's granddaughter." Jiang Dahai's face was full of wrinkles, and his figure was no longer as fit as before. He looked a little skinny. He was old, and no amount of supplements could make up for his age.
Since having grandchildren, the status of Jiang Yilu, his beloved son, has been relegated to the back, and he no longer regards his son's words as golden sentences as before.
"Yes, yes, your granddaughter, my daughter."
Jiang Yilu didn't argue with his father. Looking at his daughter not far away, he felt a sense of pride in his heart.
The father and son seemed to be oblivious to the people around them. One praised his granddaughter for her courage, the other praised his daughter for her ability. One praised his granddaughter for her beauty, the other praised his daughter for her likability. The two of them almost praised Jiang Nian'an, who was speaking on the stage, to the point of making her smile. However, they did not lower their voices intentionally, so many people around heard their conversation and were surprised to find that the chairman of the Jiang Group was actually such a father who loved his daughter so much in private.
Ruan Ruan moved a little further away from the father and son without leaving a trace, and when others looked at her, she gave a proper smile.
Jiang Nian'an is not as cute as she was when she was little, but because of her gluttony, her figure is still plump. Her skin is fair and transparent, and her facial features are beautiful, especially her big watery eyes and the two dimples that appear from time to time when she smiles. She looks shy and lovely. At this moment, she is standing in the middle of the auditorium, speaking on behalf of the outstanding graduates.
She only had five or six minutes to speak, and then there were all kinds of long and boring ceremonies. After one leader spoke, that leader spoke. There were a bunch of bald men with fat bellies, but none of them were as pleasing to the eye as the fat guy in their family. Jiang Yilu had heard all this nonsense when he graduated. At this moment, he kept looking at his watch, waiting for the graduation ceremony to be over so that he could accompany his daughter to take graduation photos. The outfit he had worked so hard to choose couldn't be wasted.
Time ticked by, and finally, when the master of ceremonies announced the end of the graduation ceremony, Jiang Yilu felt instantly liberated.
Oh my god, why didn’t I think the school leaders talked so much nonsense before? I was quite moved when I graduated. But when I heard it today, I felt that they were really nagging.
Jiang Yilu couldn't wait to push the wheelchair and walk with Ruan Ruan towards where his daughter and son were.
Jiang Nian'an and Jiang Niankang did not study the same major. Jiang Nian'an liked to eat, drink and have fun, and she loved to be pretty. She did not study hard, but she was admitted to Huaqing University with excellent grades. She is now studying the same major as Jiang Yilu did. She really could not think of what to study, so she chose this major under Jiang Yilu's inducement.
As for Jiang Niankang, he was more opinionated. He did not listen to Jiang Yilu at the beginning and chose psychology, which really made Jiang Yilu depressed for a long time. In his opinion, his property must be divided equally between his two children in the future, without bias towards anyone. But now his son has chosen psychology, which seems to be useless. How will he manage the company then?
However, Jiang Yilu was still democratic and finally agreed to his son's wish. He thought that he might not learn anything in these four years anyway, and when his son entered the company, he would keep him by his side and teach him well.
"Dad, Mom, Grandpa."
From a distance, Jiang Nian'an saw the figures of Jiang Yilu and others. He quickly said a few words to the classmates next to him, and ran towards them quickly. Jiang Yilu opened his arms, ready to welcome his daughter's arms, but he didn't expect his daughter to avoid him and throw herself into Ruan Ruan's arms next to him. Jiang Yilu opened his arms, unable to move, and was almost out of breath.
Fortunately, Jiang Niankang was very considerate. Seeing that his sister and mother were being affectionate, he couldn't bear to see his father feel sad, so he gave Jiang Yilu a big hug.
He wants a sweet and soft daughter, not a smelly boy.
Although he thought so in his mind, Jiang Yilu patted his son's back honestly. Looking at his son who had grown taller than him now, he knew that in his memory, he was still the mischievous little son who thought he was hiding well and always blamed Fatty for everything, but now he had grown into a man taller than him.
Jiang Yilu held back his tears. This was a great day for the child, and it would be too embarrassing for him as a father to cry.
"An An, why don't you introduce us?"
Three young and beautiful girls walked up to them, pushing each other, and finally a leader stood up and spoke to Jiang Nian'an.
They had lived and eaten together for four years, but they didn't know that their roommate who loved street stalls and Taobao was actually the daughter of the Jiang Group. They did a great job of hiding it. Although Jiang Nian'an's occasional expensive food and clothing showed that her family was not poor, they had never thought that it would be this good.
Romance novels are really misleading. A rich girl is supposed to be arrogant and domineering, have a wealthy fiancé, and then have a standard plot of a vicious female supporting role. Isn't that right?
"Dad, Mom, let me introduce you. These are my roommates, Ling Fang, Gu Yaya, and Xu Lu." Jiang Nian'an felt a little embarrassed. After all, they had gotten along pretty well for the past four years, but she had been hiding it from them.
"This is my dad, my mom, and my grandpa. You guys should know them, too." Jiang Nian'an stuck out her tongue. As a representative of Huaqing's outstanding alumni and an old senior in the same major, he had appeared in class more than once. Sometimes classmates would gossip about her parents' love history and share gossip, and invite Jiang Nian'an to join the discussion. God knows how embarrassed she was at that time.
Jiang Nian'an's roommates obviously also remembered those embarrassing things. They looked at each other, and all wanted to slap themselves in the face for being gossipy at that time.
"Nian'an, look who's here."
Just when the atmosphere was getting a little weird, Jiang Nian'an's roommate pushed Jiang Nian'an's shoulder and gestured towards a place not far away.
Jiang Nian'an followed her line of sight, and his fair and tender face suddenly turned as red as an apple.
"Why is he here?"
Jiang Nian'an pouted, but there was a hint of shyness and sweetness in her eyes.
Jiang Yilu's heart went off with a level one alarm, he cried out "Not good", and quickly turned around to see who the visitor was.
As soon as he turned around, he saw the man who had seduced his daughter. He was over 1.80 meters tall, wearing a green military uniform. His strong body and firm facial features made him stand out in the crowd.
Jiang Yilu frowned. He felt that the person in front of him was familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him.
"How did you get here?"
Jiang Nian'an ran towards the person who came, tugged at his sleeve, and looked at Jiang Yilu with worried eyes from time to time.
Jiang Yilu was furious. What kind of look was that? Was her father a jackal or a tiger? Would he eat that pretty boy?
No one knew what the two said, but Jiang Nian'an blushed and finally brought the young man to Jiang Yilu and Ruan Ruan.
"Dad, this is, this is..."
The next few words were always hard to utter. Jiang Nian'an knew that her father always treated any man around him as a wolf, especially after he accidentally saw a love letter that someone else had stuffed into her bag. His nagging was even more annoying than her mother's.
The reason why Jiang Nian'an didn't dare introduce his girlfriend to his parents was, firstly, he was afraid of making his father angry to death, and secondly, he was afraid that his father would be petty and interfere.
She felt that given her father's increasingly willful behavior as he grew older, this was entirely possible.
"I'm Nian'an's boyfriend, my name is Meng Zhen."
The man in front of him stood like a green pine, and it was obvious that he was trained in the army. Soldiers in the army are not as popular as they were in the early years, but leaders in the army are still very popular. Jiang Yilu looked at the mark on his clothes. Wow, he is already a battalion commander. At his age, he has a bright future.
Jiang Yilu sighed in his heart, but he was not moved at all. With his current status, the battalion commander was not worth mentioning. Besides, his daughter was still young and didn't know the troubles of marrying a soldier. Although soldiers were great, people were selfish. Who would want to see their daughter live a life of separation more than reunion? Now they were in love, but when Nian An grew up, she would know the hardship.
"Grandpa, Dad, Meng Zhen and my family are from the same hometown. He is also from Qingshan Village. I was surprised at the time. You see, we are destined to be together."
Jiang Nian'an saw her father frowning, and knew that he was unhappy, so she tried to use this relationship to get some favor from her grandfather. Since her grandmother and uncle passed away, her father paid the most attention to her grandfather's opinion. Jiang Nian'an thought that as long as her grandfather agreed, her father would be more or less willing to give in.
"Oh? You are also from Qingshan Village. What are your parents' names? Maybe I held you in my arms when you were a child."
Jiang Dahai still had old-fashioned ideas, and thought that being a soldier was the most glorious thing. He had no objection to his granddaughter finding a soldier as her son-in-law. On the contrary, he agreed wholeheartedly. Especially after hearing that the other party was from Qingshan Village, his favorable impression of him became even stronger.
The surname is Meng. He is familiar with all the families with the surname Meng in Qingshan Village, but he doesn't know whose child this one is.
Meng Zhen was silent for a moment, and glanced at Jiang Yiliu from the corner of his eye. "My grandfather is Mo Dashuan, and Mo Xianghong is my mother."
Jiang Dahai was still smiling when he said the first half of the sentence, but when he said the second half, everyone fell silent.
Jiang Yilu finally knew where this sense of familiarity came from. It turned out that the person in front of him looked very much like Rong Jing who had left him unfaithfully. It was only because the other person's name was changed from Rong Niangui to Meng Zhen that Jiang Yilu did not realize it immediately.
"I don't agree, Nian'an, you have to break up with me."
Jiang Yilu said without thinking.
Jiang Nian'an's eyes widened. Her father had never spoken to her so seriously before, and in the family, her father had always been the most open-minded. She had thought that her father might be uncomfortable for a few days because of her finding a partner, but she had never thought that her father would cut off her feelings so simply and clearly.
Jiang Nian'an looked at her mother and grandfather expectantly, but they both avoided her silent request. Jiang Nian'an's heart sank, not knowing why.
Some of her roommates, realizing that something was not right, had quietly left, leaving this space to them.
"I am different from that man."
Meng Zhen spoke slowly. He had half of that man's blood in his body. If possible, he wanted to return that dirty blood to him.
"An An, come back with us."
Jiang Yiliu ignored Meng Zhen's excuse. In this situation, Jiang Yiliu was in no mood to take graduation photos. His children were all debts. He was beginning to worry again. After saying that, he pushed the wheelchair and left with Ruan Ruan without looking back.
Jiang Nian'an looked at his parents who were walking away, and then looked at Meng Zhen who was standing beside him.
"Go ahead." Meng Zhen gave her a comforting look. "They are your parents, and they are naturally thinking about you. Don't get angry with them and make them sad."
Jiang Nian'an listened to his words, gritted his teeth, and finally ran towards Jiang Yiliu and the others.
Jiang Niankang, who had been like an invisible man, patted Meng Zhen on the shoulder and gave him an encouraging look.
It’s better to have some setbacks, so that things that are obtained too easily will not be worth cherishing.
Jiang Niankang is not like his naive sister. Not long after Meng Zhen and her came into contact, he had already investigated the man thoroughly. If he really had bad intentions, he would have chased him away long ago. He would never have allowed them to develop to this point.
Jiang Niankang thought Meng Zhen was pretty good. He didn't have a prominent family background, but he had come to this position by himself. If his sister didn't like him anymore, they could just break up. He would naturally find a better one for her. It wouldn't be as troublesome as dating someone with a similar family background, and he would have to consider other interests. He also knew the knot in his father's heart, and the relationship between the two would probably not be so smooth.
As the saying goes, without the bitter cold, how can the fragrance of plum blossoms be so strong?
Young people still need some experience. Jiang Niankang took a deep breath of the June air and walked leisurely towards his family not far away.
