"Oh?" Old Master Jiang immediately perked up.
After all, his aloof and cold-hearted grandson rarely spoke to him in such a solemn tone.
Jiang Jingxing straightened his back and said with a serious expression, "I have a girlfriend, and I like her very much."
Upon hearing this, Old Master Jiang was greatly surprised.
After realizing what he meant, he was both happy and disbelieving, saying, "You kid, don't try to fool this old man. You can find a partner? I don't believe it."
"Really." Jiang Jingxing said earnestly, "Her name is Su Yan, and she's the younger sister of my comrade-in-arms Su Yu. You should still remember Su Yu, right?"
Seeing that he didn't seem to be joking, Old Master Jiang believed him completely. "Of course I know Su Yu. Isn't he back and currently locked up awaiting interrogation? How did you get to know his sister?"
Jiang Jingxing's expression softened as he said, "The ginseng that Commander Xiao used during his coma was all found by Su Yan. At that time, I went to Lan City to find Tang Li and met her by chance. Later, after getting to know her, I realized that I had fallen in love with her, and she accepted my feelings."
Upon hearing this, Old Master Jiang fell silent.
While he was initially happy, he later became less so.
After a long silence, he finally spoke slowly: "That girl must come from a very poor family, right?"
Jiang Jingxing never intended to hide this from the beginning.
He told Grandpa Jiang in detail about the current situation of Su Yan's family.
After hearing this, Grandpa Jiang smiled and said admiringly, "Not only is she a top student, but she's also a girl with great courage. Not bad, she didn't embarrass her brother."
He had heard of Southern Medical University.
It is a key university in the south, and it was truly remarkable that Su Yan was able to get in under those circumstances.
"So you agree to our relationship?" Jiang Jingxing asked.
Grandpa Jiang's smile vanished instantly. He glared at him and said irritably, "Just because I don't agree, you won't be with her? Do you think I don't know what you're thinking, you brat?"
It's simply that the girl comes from a poor family, and her parents are divorced. You're worried that your parents might harm her and her family, but once I confirm it with my own words, they won't dare to do anything reckless.
Jiang Jingxing smiled and said, "Grandpa is wise; nothing escapes your eyes."
Grandpa Jiang snorted coldly, "Find a time to arrange for me to meet her. I can listen to your description of her, but I need to see her in person to know if she's really that good. If you want to protect her, don't let the news out before I meet her."
"You'll definitely like her when you meet her," Jiang Jingxing said confidently.
To be precise, he had confidence in Su Yan.
Grandpa Jiang simply couldn't bear to look.
His grandson took after him; he's a romantic at heart.
Once you meet someone you like, you can't stop yourself.
"Alright, don't come back too often unless it's important, lest people gossip," said Old Master Jiang.
Jiang Jingxing responded and stood up, saying, "Then I'll go back first."
He came back for this very reason.
Grandpa Jiang waved his hand weakly, his aged face visibly weary.
The man stopped in his tracks and asked, "Grandpa, is the medicine prescribed by Master Jue not working for you?"
"Even the best medicine can't save my old body," Old Master Jiang said truthfully. "Although I've woken up, the damage to my body is too great. I know I won't last much longer. Your father is a good-for-nothing. After I'm gone, the Jiang family will have to rely on you. In the next two years, you should train yourself well and not get too caught up in your personal feelings."
Before being poisoned, the old man felt he could still go to the battlefield and fight again, but now he feels tired even when he gets up to urinate, which shows how potent the poison is.
Jiang Jingxing pursed his lips and said nothing more.
...
Su Yan didn't have time to dwell on Jiang Jingxing too much, because that evening Tao Yue and Tao Jin found the hospital where Grandma Li was.
Su Yan was having dinner when she was stunned for a moment when she saw the brother and sister who suddenly barged in.
When her gaze fell on Tao Jin, whose face was contorted with rage, she immediately thought of her forgotten grandmother, Tao.
Before the brother and sister could speak, she immediately stood up and apologized: "I'm sorry, Mr. Tao, something happened at my home. My grandmother fell into a coma, so I rushed back and forgot about Grandma Tao. It's my fault."
Don't worry, delaying the start of the second phase by a day or two won't have any impact. I guarantee that Grandma Tao's health will be better in two weeks than it is now—I can vouch for that!
Her attitude exuded strong sincerity from the inside out, and Tao Jin's anger immediately subsided by half. When she saw Granny Li lying unconscious on the bed, the other half also subsided, but she was still very unhappy and said, "No matter what the reason is, since you have taken the money, you have to do the job well. I am not an unfeeling person, but it may not be the same if it is someone else today."
Tao Jin didn't dare to say anything too harsh, after all, his grandmother had only been eating medicinal food for three days and her health had already improved significantly, Su Yan was a capable person.
He can be more magnanimous towards such a capable person.
Su Yan clasped her hands together, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Thank you."
Tao Yue quickly said, "Su Yan, how is your grandmother? Does she need our help? My brother knows many doctors, so please don't hesitate to ask if you need anything."
She had been spending her days with her grandmother, so she didn't know what had happened to Su Yan's family. However, seeing that Su Yan hadn't returned home so late, she was a little worried and told her brother about it.
Tao Jin raised her eyebrows, not refuting her sister's words.
"Thank you, but I've already contacted the doctor, they should be here soon," Su Yan said.
Tao Jin, "When are you going back to Anping Town?"
Su Yan thought for a moment, "I'll go back once the doctor I contacted arrives and we confirm the surgery time for my grandma. Don't worry, I've already prepared the medicine that Grandma Tao needs. I've taken your money, so there's no reason for me to give up halfway."
Tao Jin nodded and said, "Okay, I'm going back to Beijing tomorrow. I'll need your help taking care of my grandmother and sister while they're in Anping Town."
"No problem, you can go back without worry."
"Then my sister and I will not bother you any longer. Please contact me anytime if you need anything."
After Tao Jin finished speaking, she pulled Tao Yue away.
Tao Yue kept turning back, reluctantly being pulled along.
Li Juan sighed, "Ayan, it's all my fault. I've made you spin like a top."
"Mother, if you keep saying that, I'm really going to blame you." Su Yan said seriously, "I'm not afraid of trouble, but I'm afraid of trouble for my family. As long as our family is safe and sound, nothing else matters."
"Okay, Mother won't say anything more, alright?" Li Juan quickly said.
Only Huo Qianli and her family remained in the ward at this moment. Tang Li had returned to Anping Town that afternoon, as his wife was still waiting for him at home, and it wouldn't be good for her to stay here any longer, especially since she didn't need his help for the time being.
