Grandpa Jiang looked at the food on the table and said with a smile, "Good! Good! My granddaughter's cooking is so delicious!"
Jiang Ning served the old man a bowl of rice. "Grandpa, you're being too kind. You haven't even eaten yet, and you already know how delicious it is."
Grandpa Jiang took the food and said, "I can smell it."
To show he wasn't exaggerating, Grandpa Jiang, who usually only eats one bowl of rice, ate two bowls today.
After dinner, Jiang Ning went with the old man to her uncle Jiang Dongsheng's house.
They lived 16 kilometers away from Jiang Dongsheng's home.
It takes 30 minutes by subway.
When we arrived at Jiang Dongsheng's house, it was already past one o'clock in the afternoon.
Grandpa Jiang stood at the door and knocked.
"Who is it? Stop knocking! Can't you see the doorbell?"
An elderly woman with gray hair opened the door impatiently.
Upon seeing the old lady, Grandpa Jiang immediately smiled and said, "Dear, my dear in-laws."
This is He Yinyue, Jiang Dongsheng's mother-in-law.
He Yinyue glanced at Grandpa Jiang, her eyes filled with undisguised disdain. "So it was you who had a doorbell but wasn't ringing it, and was banging on the door all the time!"
Country folks are just not presentable!
What a disgrace.
The reason they didn't ring the doorbell is probably because they don't even recognize it.
A quick glance revealed Jiang Ning behind Grandpa Jiang, and He Yinyue's expression changed drastically. "So Ningning is here too! What a rare guest! Come in, come in!"
As soon as she finished speaking, He Yinyue looked into the house again, "Sufang, Dongsheng, come out quickly, we have important guests."
Jiang Ning noticed He Yinyue's changes and followed Old Master Jiang into the house without making a sound.
Just as Grandpa Jiang was about to change his shoes, He Sufang came out of the living room. When she saw Jiang Ning, her eyes were full of surprise. Weren't these two, grandfather and grandson, supposed to be estranged?
How did you make up so quickly?
Although she had many questions in her mind, He Sufang did not show them. She then smiled and said, "Dad, why do you and Ningning need to change your shoes when you go back to your own home? No need to change, no need to change!"
He Sufang walked up to Jiang Ning and affectionately took her hand, "Long time no see, Ningning, you've become even more beautiful!"
"Hello, Auntie." Jiang Ning greeted her politely.
He Sufang was stunned for a moment.
Jiang Ning seems unusually different today.
This wealthy family really does nurture people; Jiang Ning is not only prettier than before, but her temperament has also improved.
Jiang Ning used to be petty and timid, always acting hesitant and timid wherever she went.
"Alright, alright." He Sufang nodded, then looked at Grandpa Jiang and said reproachfully, "Dad, you're right, you didn't even tell me you were coming to visit beforehand so I could have asked Dongsheng to buy some of Ningning's favorite dishes!"
Standing inside his son and daughter-in-law's "mansion," Old Master Jiang felt a little uncomfortable. "Isn't it because I didn't want to trouble you? Ningning and I specially came over after having a good meal at home."
"Don't be so formal with the 'trouble' talk, we're all family!" Jiang Dongsheng walked over from the side. "You must stay for dinner tonight, Ningning hasn't been back for so long!"
“Yes, yes, Dongsheng is right!” He Yinyue immediately added, “Sufang, you and Dongsheng stay home and keep your dad and Ningning company. I’m going to buy groceries.”
He Sufang nodded, "Okay, Mom, go quickly, and remember to buy more seafood, Ningning likes to eat it."
Grandpa Jiang hurriedly said there was no need to go grocery shopping, but his son and daughter-in-law's family were too enthusiastic, and he couldn't stop them at all.
After sitting down in the living room, Jiang Dongsheng and He Sufang busied themselves making tea for Grandpa Jiang and Jiang Ning.
*Smack*
The door, which had been closed, opened at that moment.
"Mom and Dad, we have guests?" A young woman's voice came from the doorway.
"Suo Suo is back!" He Sufang responded with a smile. "Come here quickly, it's your grandpa and your sister Ningning who have come home."
Upon hearing this, He Suosuo's expression darkened.
She is one year younger than Jiang Ning and is currently a senior in high school.
Although the two were not related by blood, they were sisters in name only. She was a genuine city dweller from a privileged background, loved not only by her parents but also by her maternal grandparents.
Although the He family's financial situation in City A was average, Jiang Dongsheng and He Sufang only had one daughter, He Suo Suo, whom they doted on from a young age. They raised her in the way that wealthy families would raise their daughters. When she was only three or four years old, she began to be exposed to high art forms such as piano, guitar, and ballet.
Where is Jiang Ning?
Jiang Ning not only has no parents, but also lives in the countryside. While she plays the piano, Jiang Ning can only play in the mud in the countryside. While she dances ballet, Jiang Ning is still playing in the mud. What else can Jiang Ning do besides play in the mud?
Therefore, He Suosuo always had a strong sense of superiority in front of Jiang Ning, and she also enjoyed Jiang Ning looking at her with envious eyes.
Just when He Suosuo thought she could trample Jiang Ning under her feet for the rest of her life, Jiang Ning suddenly became the young mistress of the wealthy Cheng family!
He Suosuo was so jealous she was going crazy.
In He Suosuo's eyes, Jiang Ning was just a useless country girl, the kind that no one would want to be a nanny in the city. How could she possibly marry into a wealthy family?
You know, even she never had the chance to marry into a wealthy family!
What makes Jiang Ning so special?
Upon seeing Jiang Ning, He Suosuo felt a mix of emotions, including a strange sense of unease, but she still managed a smile. "Sister Ningning."
