"Kitty Chiang, what type do you think I am?"
"A bully type, maybe someone prefers a refined and handsome scholar," Chiang Xiao snorted.
This man was really outrageous, there was hardly any tenderness when he kissed her. Oh, gentle kisses were always just an appetizer for him; what followed was the kind of wild intensity that seemed like he wanted to roll her tongue up and swallow it.
"But Iām Littleās favorite type, right?" Meng Xinian raised an eyebrow.
Chiang Xiao laughed as she fell into his arms.
This man really had no shame.
They lingered affectionately for quite a while before Meng Xinian had to go back. Even having this half-day was good enough.
After he left, Chiang Xiao went to the hospital.
Old Master Jiang was awake, and Ying Qiong was reading the newspaper to him.
He seemed in pretty good spirits, so it looked like the medicine over the past few days had been quite effective.
However, Old Master Jiangās health had deteriorated too much, so he needed gradual recuperation.
"Littleās here?" Old Master Jiang was delighted to see her. "I havenāt seen you in days. I thought you had already grown tired of this old man and didnāt want to visit me anymore. But when I asked around, they said you went back to City M for a wedding?"
"Yes, grand-grandfather. How do you feel now?"
"A bit better. I even had a bowl of rice for lunch today."
Old Master Jiang looked her over and remembered what Ying Qiong had told him earlierāthat Chiang Xiao had gone to Bai Gu Mountain to find medicine for him and even encountered a tiger. He couldnāt help but feel a sense of wonder; he never expected that the one who would end up saving him was this great-granddaughter he hadnāt even known existed before.
And these days, the news heās received is that many in the Jiang Family have started stirring up trouble, yet not one junior has come to visit him.
Even though D State is far from the Capital City, if they were really concerned, how could they call it far?
Look at Chiang XiaoāBai Gu Mountain is far too, and so dangerous, yet she didnāt hesitate to go find medicine for him.
Do they not realize that if he were to pass away in Capital City without them coming, they wouldnāt even get to see him one last time?
Old Master Jiang thought he had treated the younger generation in the family quite well, but it turned out peopleās hearts are hard to predict.
Now, looking at Chiang Xiao, his feelings were different than before.
"Thatās good. Grand-grandfather, donāt worry and focus on getting better. Youāll gradually improve over time."
"Yes, yes, I think so too. With Little and Doctor Chen around, this old fellow might be able to hold on for a few more years," Old Master Jiang laughed heartily.
Chiang Xiao pursed her lips and asked, "Whereās my dad?"
Since she came in, she hadnāt seen Ah Liu.
Ying Qiong said, "Your uncle took him out, said there was a small meeting, and he should go and listen in."
Chiang Xiao was taken aback, "Is it appropriate for my dad to attend Uncleās meeting as an observer?"
Old Master Jiang and Ying Qiong both laughed.
"Silly child, just because he listens doesnāt mean he has to listen in front of others."
Chiang Xiao immediately understood.
Is this an authorized eavesdropping?
She sighed inwardly; having Ah Liu start being involved in those matters suggested that his future wouldnāt be too ordinary.
But now theyāre certainly tied to Li Hanzhong, whether they want to be involved or not.
After Old Master Jiang dozed off from fatigue, Ying Qiong and Chiang Xiao went to the small parlor outside to have tea.
Ying Qiong looked at Chiang Xiao, deliberated for a moment, and asked, "Little, about Chiang Qingzhu... I mean, are you really willing to be a child without a mother?"
What did she mean by that?
