Old Mrs. Bai held Yan Jinyi's hand the whole time, and her eyes never left her.
She is indeed my own granddaughter. The more I look at her, the more I like her.
The hall seemed to have been renovated and was a little different from what she saw last time on Leng Yuxi's birthday.
"Jinyi, hurry up and cook. Grandma doesn't know what you like to eat, so she asked the kitchen to make some authentic Shengjing dishes."
Yan Jinyi had a good attitude towards the old lady. Upon hearing this, he smiled at her and said, "It's okay. I like to eat everything."
"That's good, that's good."
As a group of people sat down, the two elders of the Bai family began to ask Yan Jinyi and Huo Xishen about their well-being. Bai Moliang and the Leng Jing couple could only sit there.
"Jinyi, I heard that the Yan family treated you badly. How did you live as a child?"
Looking at Old Lady Bai's loving yet curious gaze, Yan Jinyi gathered his emotions and began to complain, "Dad is addicted to gambling and owes a lot of money. Creditors come to our door every few days. Mom was actually very good to me, but because our family was poor, she neglected me a lot later on."
"Later, my father got fed up with his creditors and started drinking. My grandmother was actually very kind to me. She would secretly give me pocket money and even paid my tuition a few times."
In her memory, Grandma Yan always had a kind smile. She was probably one of the few people in the Yan family who treated her well.
"Later, my grandmother fell ill and passed away. My grandparents also had conflicts, and with creditors relentlessly pursuing us, my parents simply brought me to Shengjing. Fortunately, my father was lucky enough to find a job. Although the salary was not high, it was enough to support the family."
Did the couple have feelings for her?
There should be some...
I just can't take care of myself and don't have much energy to be nice to her.
"Oh, my poor granddaughter, what would you do if you wanted to buy something while you were studying?" Old Mrs. Bai took Yan Jinyi's hand, patted it, and said with concern.
Yan Jinyi's eyes began to redden as he choked up, "I have a good friend named Tan Sangsang. We're childhood friends. Her family used to live quite close to mine. When we were little, we would occasionally go to the mountains to dig up wild vegetables and sell them. If we were lucky, we could get several dollars!"
The Bai family and even the servants standing nearby were all moved, and looked at Yan Jinyi with eyes full of pity and love.
Only Huo Xishen sat beside her very calmly, and would help her pick up some dishes from time to time.
Bai Moliang listened quietly. When he thought about how Leng Yuxi had lived a life of luxury since childhood while his own sister had to live such a hard life, he felt so distressed.
I must treat her well and make it up to her in the future.
Suddenly, his gaze fell on Huo Xishen.
Bai Moliang frowned. Why did this man become more and more annoying the more he looked at him? Jin Yi should be almost twenty-five, right?
She was kidnapped by Huo Xishen at such a young age, this damn wild man.
Noticing Bai Moliang's unfriendly look, Huo Xishen just glanced at him indifferently, "Don't worry, Elders, Jin Yi is living well in the Huo family."
Mrs. Bai nodded in satisfaction. "That's fine. I never thought that after all these twists and turns, Xi Shen, you would become the son-in-law of my Bai family."
Huo Xishen nodded, "Madam, it's worth it."
After dinner, the two elders of the Bai family took Yan Jinyi for a walk in the garden, while Huo Xishen and Bai Yan went to the study.
Since Yan Jinyi is the daughter of the Bai family, the Huo and Bai families can continue to cooperate.
When Huo Xishen came out of the study, it was already dark. The lights were on in the corridor, and the paintings on both walls gave it a very artistic feel.
"Did you finish talking to Dad?"
Seeing Bai Moliang leaning against the stairs, Huo Xishen stopped and asked, "What's the matter?"
