Chapter 2217 - 2219: Jiang Nuan vs. Fu Yi
"Iāll carry it myself." Jiang Nuan couldnāt bear to let the Old Madam, at such an age, help her with her luggage. She clung to the handle and wouldnāt let go, using her other hand to gently push the Old Madam. "Grandma, why are you here so late? We could have gone back ourselves. Itās so cold at night, you might catch a chill, and Iād worry."
Madam Fu felt a warm sensation in her heart, unable to hide her joy, continuously patting Jiang Nuanās hand lightly. She softly said, "Oh, Iām fine, dear. You donāt have to worry about me. This old lady is doing well. I heard you were coming back to stay, and I was so happy. They didnāt want me to come, but I insisted on coming along. I remembered last time, when you returned home, no one was there to greet you at the airport. This time, I couldnāt let you come back alone! Coming back alone is too lonely. I couldnāt bear it!"
Fu Yi, who was walking behind, came up to them at this point and coughed into his hand.
"Whatās the matter?" Madam Fu shot him a look, saying irritably, "You came back with Nuannuan and didnāt even think to tell her to wear more clothes. What difference does having you around make?"
"..."
Madam Fu, full of disdain, took Jiang Nuanās hand, saying in a tone of mock reproach, "Fortunately, you knew to lend your coat to Nuannuan. Otherwise, I wouldnāt even want to bring you along back home! Nuannuan, letās go. The wind is strong outside. Weāll wait in the car."
The driver jogged over to take her luggage and put it in the car. Jiang Nuan, who wanted to stop and wait for him, found it impossible. She was pulled along, turning back every few steps as she was led away.
The butler followed behind, perceptively taking Fu Yiās suitcase, saying softly with a smile, "The Old Madam was overjoyed all day after receiving your call. Today, she got up early to organize the house and came to the airport two hours in advance to wait for you. Young Master, the Old Madam is truly happy. Ever since the Young Madam went abroad, I rarely saw her as joyful as she has been these past few days! Oh, the elderly just want to enjoy familial bliss, with everyone in harmony. Itās not that she doesnāt love you anymore, but she wants the Young Madam to feel the warmth of family. Please, donāt be upset with the Old Madam..."
Fu Yi, with deep, almond-shaped eyes and prominent features, said heavily, "I know."
Both Jiang Nuan and Old Madam Fu were the most important people in his life. He was more than happy to see them getting along well.
The butler, relieved, led the way, pulling his luggage. "Mr. Shao just called the Old Madam, saying he plans to visit with his wife when you get home."
"So late, and heās coming over?" Fu Yi looked surprised.
The butler was also surprised at the time but, as a butler, it wasnāt his place to question why Mr. Shao was visiting the Old Madam. He could only relay what he knew. "Yes, Mr. Shao told the Old Madam theyād be coming, and by the looks of it, they should have arrived by now."
"He didnāt mention why?"
The butler shook his head, "No."
Fu Yi had a pensive expression but asked no further questions.
The journey from the airport to Rose Garden was at least eighty miles, taking a full hour by car. The vehicle slowly entered the Rose Garden villa area.
In Capital City, there are over a dozen affluent neighborhoods, with properties starting at roughly 150,000 per square meter. Rose Garden is a special case.
Rose Garden is located in Nanluo Alley, once home to military descendants. In the early 20th century, this area was composed of ancient courtyard houses, with winding paths. The roads are flanked by dense, lush camphor trees.
