Chapter 183 Am I going to live my whole life alone?
Then she walked towards the door of her grandfather's room and knocked gently.
A voice came from inside: "Come in."
Jiang Yi pushed open the door, walked into the room, looked at the old man sitting on the bed, and called softly, "Grandpa."
The old man looked at her with a smile and asked, "Are you back?"
"Grandpa, are you ready for bed?"
The old man smiled, picked up the book in his hand, and said, "Don't worry, I want to finish reading this book before going to bed."
She frowned and advised, "Grandpa, reading at night is bad for your eyes."
The old man laughed, put down the book, patted her hands, and said, "Okay, okay. My good granddaughter has just come back and started to take care of me! How is it, are you familiar with the company?"
"It's okay. I have Brother Xinyu to help me."
"If you had listened to my advice at the beginning, you wouldn't have to start learning from scratch now!" The old man sighed and shook his head helplessly.
Jiang Yi lowered his head somewhat embarrassedly and muttered softly, "Grandpa, please stop nagging me."
"Okay, okay, Grandpa won't say anything. But you must also remember not to rely too much on others. When you encounter something that you should do yourself, you must try bravely. Only in this way can you grow faster and take over smoothly."
Jiang Yi nodded to show that he understood, and then answered seriously: "Yes, I understand. In fact, during this period of time, I have begun to try to handle some smaller-scale things on my own."
After hearing this, the old man smiled with relief, "That's good, grandpa is counting on you."
"Grandpa, I have something to tell you."
"it is good."
……
The living room was filled with a solemn and depressing atmosphere, as if an invisible haze shrouded every corner.
Jiang Yi sat quietly on one side, his hands clenched into fists, his heart filled with tension and anxiety.
"Have you decided yet?"
Suddenly, the old man's low voice broke the silence, his eyes were as sharp as torches, staring straight at Jiang Yi.
Jiang Yi took a deep breath, then nodded firmly: "Grandpa, I've thought about it."
The old man nodded slightly, but then sighed: "That guy is good, but... a little far from our home."
At this time, the mother also said: "Yiyi, you just came back and are going to get married, what about the company? You are the pillar of our family!"
Jiang Yi bit her lip and retorted, "Mom, am I going to be alone for the rest of my life? I'm 27 years old, not a child anymore."
As soon as the words fell, the room fell into silence and no one spoke anymore.
After a moment, the old man finally spoke again: "Let them come over and see it."
Jiang Yi's eyes flashed with surprise: "Grandpa, do you agree?"
The old man smiled and said, "You said it yourself, you are old enough to get married, how can I, as your grandfather, not help you?"
"Thank you grandpa!"
However, she changed the subject and said with some concern: "But...their family doesn't know my family background."
The old man frowned and asked in confusion, "Huh?"
Jiang Yi lowered his head and explained softly: "Grandpa, it's like this. When I left home, I never thought about relying on my family for a penny. So, I never expressed... "
After hearing this, the old man was silent for a while and waved his hand: "Okay, I understand."
"Go and have a rest, you have to go to the company tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll go upstairs first. Grandpa, Mom, you should also go to bed early."
After Jiang Yi returned to his room, he went straight to the bathroom to take a shower.
Half an hour later, she came out wrapped in a bath towel.
I leaned against the head of the bed, picked up my phone, and saw that it was very late.
Finally I gave up on sending messages to Shi Lu.
I crawled into bed and closed my eyes, and soon I could hear steady breathing.
-
A week passed in the blink of an eye.
The weather is getting cooler, the cold autumn wind is blowing across the earth, and people are putting on warm coats to keep out the cold.
The airport hall was crowded and bustling.
Shi's mother stood there with a bewildered look on her face, having been troubled by the father and son in front of her since early in the morning.
She asked doubtfully, "Son, where are you taking us?"
"Mom, you and Dad haven't traveled for a long time, right? I happen to have some time recently, so I want to take you out for a walk and relax."
Shi's mother frowned and said with some dissatisfaction: "Why didn't you tell me in advance? At least I could have been prepared."
Shi Lu patted his mother's shoulder and comforted her, "Mom, don't worry, I have arranged everything, just follow me."
At this moment, Shi Lu and his father looked at each other tacitly, and their eyes seemed to be communicating something.
Then, several people quickly boarded the plane.
Sitting in her seat, Shi's mother couldn't help but sigh: "It's been a long time! I almost forgot what it feels like to travel."
Father Shi smiled and said, "This is perfect. Your son will help you realize your wish."
Mother Shi rolled her eyes at him and said angrily, "Humph, it's all because you were incompetent when you were young and couldn't take me out to play."
Father Shi smiled helplessly and said, "Okay, okay, it's all my fault."
Shi Lu quickly tried to smooth things over: "Mom and Dad, if you're sleepy, just take a nap. The flight is quite long."
Shi's mother picked up the plane ticket in her hand and looked at it. Suddenly, she asked in surprise: "Fengcheng? Xiaolu, do you have any friends there?"
"Well, you'll know when you get there."
"There's something wrong with you two. Are you hiding something from me?"
"Okay, aren't you sleepy so early in the morning? Go get some sleep."
"I'm not sleepy. If you want to sleep, go ahead and don't disturb me from enjoying the scenery."
"Okay, I'll sleep."
Shi Lu was very envious of the two old people bickering, and he wondered if he and Yi Yi would be the same when they grow old.
He imagined the future, the two of them with gray hair, sitting in a rocking chair, basking in the sun and bickering. What a warm picture that would be!
-
At this time, the Jiang family was in a busy scene.
The servants started cleaning the house early in the morning. Some were busy mopping the floor, cleaning the windows, and buying groceries.
It seems that a distinguished guest is about to visit.
"Dad, you think this marriage was decided so hastily?"
"Let's see their attitude first, there's no need to rush."
"Okay, I feel much more at ease with your words." Mother Jiang seemed relieved.
"Go check if the food is ready in the kitchen."
"Okay, I'll go right away." Mother Jiang turned and left.
"By the way, where is Xiaochen? Why haven't we seen him these days?" The old man suddenly remembered something and asked.
"He should be on his way back." Jiang's mother stopped and replied.
"This brat, his sister is about to be kidnapped, but he is not worried at all."
"Dad, you know they haven't been close since they were young."
"Okay, stop talking and go." The old man waved his hand, seeming angry.
