"My dear granddaughter, is what your father said true? Can you really make things disappear?" The old man looked at Liang Yiyi with sparkling eyes, as if to say, 'You'd better tell me the truth quickly, or you will suffer the consequences if you lie to me.'
Liang Yiyi stroked his forehead, knowing it would be like this.
"Hey, Grandpa! I haven't seen you for a few days. I prepared a small gift for you. Please don't dislike it!" As she said this, she raised her hands and a cake box appeared in her hands.
Liang Yiyi put the cake in front of the old man and looked up. Wow, all four of them were stunned.
Hearing this was not as shocking as seeing it with one's own eyes. They saw with their own eyes that Liang Yiyi entered the house empty-handed, so where did this cake come from?
The old man finally came to his senses, opened the box and saw that it was his favorite fruit cake.
Liang Yiyi bought this cake when she went shopping before the college entrance examination. Her grandfather loved it, so she bought four at once to save herself the trouble of queuing up whenever she wanted to eat it. She happened to take one out today to honor her grandfather, as there were still three untouched in the space.
"Hey, this girl is so biased. She only prepared a gift for his grandfather, but the three of us got nothing!" Liang Jianjun said with a slightly sour tone.
The three of them glanced at him simultaneously, making Liang Yiyi's scalp tingle. "Well, hey, I have to go back to school to fill out my college application today. You guys can chat slowly, slowly, I'm going to go change my clothes."
In the living room, watching the figure fleeing as fast as a rabbit, several people looked at each other in confusion. After being in the army for a few days, his speed has obviously improved! They didn't say anything, so why did he run so fast?
Seeing his sister run away, Liang Wenyu suddenly remembered something, so he said, "Grandpa, I heard that the case of Wang Haobing yesterday has been resolved. There is solid evidence that he demanded a bribe. However, because the amount was small, only 10,000 yuan, and he returned the money and admitted his mistake with a good attitude, he has only lost his job so far. From what I know about him, he will definitely not give up. He may ask to come to our house again at any time. You should be mentally prepared."
The old man immediately withdrew his attention from the cake. "Oh, you still won't give up? Our family has done everything we can for the three of them. If it weren't for my precious granddaughter's generosity, Xiaoping would have been sentenced to prison. We've completely severed all ties, yet she still dares to come to us for help? Don't blame me for being ruthless. Yiyi's mother, don't worry about this matter. If they come to you for help, just tell me directly and I'll handle it."
If Liang Yiyi had heard what his grandfather said, he would definitely ask, "Am I magnanimous? When was I magnanimous? How come I didn't know about this? Did I let Wang Xiaoping go just to get revenge on her?"
The father who knew the truth: ...
Mother:……
Liang Wenyu...
"It's easy to deal with Wang Haobing, but if Jianlan comes back, I really don't know what to do. After all, she is your own daughter and Jianjun's sister!" Ming Huixin said after a moment of silence.
The old man pursed his lips, feeling mixed emotions.
As his children, his two sons never gave him any worries since they were young. The eldest son, Jianjun, was upright and had sacrificed his life and blood for the country. He had experienced countless battles and had reached his current position with his own abilities.
The second son has a broad mind and a clear conscience. When he was in office, he did countless practical things for the local people. He worked hard step by step and finally became this high-ranking official. If the people above him were not more senior than him, he would have taken a step forward long ago.
The two sons have achieved what they have today entirely through their own efforts. Although he holds a high position, he has never sought any benefit for his children.
But it was this little daughter, who was once his most beloved, who has now ended up in such a situation.
However, it may not be a bad thing that things have come to this point. Although the two of them were obstructed from being together by their families at the beginning, their life has been smooth sailing since they got married. Wang Haobing has been promoted step by step without any setbacks. It is said that true love is revealed in times of adversity. He opened his eyes and took a good look to see whether the man who had said that he would die if he could not be with Jianlan was really as devoted to Jianlan as he said.
Seeing the old man fall silent, Ming Huixin thought he was worried about Liang Jianlan, so she comforted him, "Dad, don't worry. If Jianlan comes to me for help, I will definitely not refuse anything within my ability."
"No need. Didn't she say that she couldn't live without Wang Haobing in this life? I want to see, without the support of her family, whether the group of powerful people in her Wang family will still surround her like before." The old man's expression returned to normal, as if what he was talking about had nothing to do with him.
The Jia family lived in the same compound, but Jia Dongsheng's family was not large.
Jia Dongsheng's grandfather, Jia Wuxing, retired as an army lieutenant general. Compared to the other elders in the compound, his rank was relatively low, so their house was a bit out of the way and smaller. Of course, he was a few years younger than Elder Liang, so he addressed him as "Brother Liang" when they met.
Jia Wuxing, who is nearly eighty years old, has only one son, Jia Yonghuai, Jia Dongsheng's father.
Jia Yonghuai, 46, is the political commissar of the X Division and a longtime colleague of Zhu Xuejiang's father, Zhu Zheng. He and his wife have always lived in the X Military Region and have had little contact with their son. Jia Dongsheng was practically raised by his grandfather. He is also Jia Yonghuai's only child.
Knowing that Jia Dongsheng was going home today, Grandpa Jia had already been waiting in the living room. Grandma Jia had passed away ten years ago. Apart from the two grandparents and grandson, there was only a nanny who was responsible for their daily life.
The sound of footsteps was heard. Hearing this familiar voice, he knew that it was his grandson who had returned. Grandpa Jia smiled kindly.
"Grandpa, your grandson is back. Did you miss me during these days when I was away from home?" Jia Dongsheng greeted his grandfather in the living room.
"You rascal, you're such a scoundrel! I wonder who you inherited this temper from? How are you? Have you been doing well in the army these days?" Old Master Jia asked with a smile. How could he not miss him? This was his only grandson. He'd gotten quite a bit darker after not seeing him for so long.
Looking at his grandson who had grown up, Grandpa Jia felt a wave of emotion in his heart. The Jia family had been a single-son family for three generations, and he was the only child in the family. Naturally, Grandpa Jia doted on Jia Dongsheng in every way.
In all these years, Jia Dongsheng has been fooling around outside, and Grandpa Jia has never said a word against him. He thought that this would be the end of his life, but unexpectedly, his grandson suddenly became smart and studied and exercised as usual, and his grades improved rapidly. Although Grandpa Jia knew that his grandson was not stupid at all, he was puzzled by this sudden change. He thought, could it be that he had a broken heart with his girlfriend, and then the stimulation was a little too great and he worked hard to improve himself?
