Chapter 1229: Chapter 1229: Grandfather’s Wish
“It seems that this Jiang Xue’er indeed doesn’t have pure motives!” Lu Ting spoke to Zi Yan.
“That’s for sure, but right now I still haven’t figured out her true intentions, so it’s not the right time to tell Jian Dan.”
“Indeed, Jian has always treated everyone with a sincere heart. If she knew Jiang Xue’er approached her with an ulterior motive, I wonder how she’d feel?”
“What else could she feel? From what I know about Jian Dan, she wouldn’t spare Jiang Xue’er. Jian is someone who can’t stand even a speck of dust in her eye.
The reason I haven’t told Jian yet is that I’m afraid there’s someone behind Jiang Xue’er pulling the strings. Otherwise, what capabilities does a girl like her have to play such a major game?”
“Mhm! You’re right!”
“Alright, there shouldn’t be any problems tonight. We’ve been tired these past few days; let’s rest early.”
Jian Dan felt like she’d just fallen asleep when her phone began to ring. Initially, she wasn’t going to answer, but the relentless ringing forced her to unwillingly reach out and answer the phone without even looking, “Hello~” her voice half-asleep.
“Little Jian, you still haven’t gotten up?” came Grandpa’s voice from the other end of the line.
“Mhm! I’m up!” Jian Dan sat up all at once. “What’s going on, Grandpa? Is there something wrong?” She guessed that an early-morning call must be about something.
“There’s a little something. e over to the old house.”
“Oh! Okay! But~ what’s it about?”
“It’s not good to talk about over the phone; you’ll know when you get here.”
“Ah! Oh! Okay, then I’ll e over shortly!”
“Good! You can e by yourself, alright?”
“Why?”
“I can’t explain clearly over the phone; you’ll understand when you’re here.”
“Oh!”
Why is Grandpa acting so strangely today, making it all so mysterious!
“What’s wrong?” Chu Liyuan stretched and asked.
“I don’t know. Grandpa asked me to go to the old house.”
“I can drive you there…”
“No need~” Remembering what Grandpa had just said, Jian Dan instinctively replied.
“Hmm?”
“Hehe, it’s just that I’ve just gotten my driver’s license, and I wanted to try driving by myself!”
“Just because of that?” Chu Liyuan looked at Jian Dan scrutinizingly.
“Yeah! What else could it be?” Jian Dan tried to appear as normal as possible.
“Then you can drive the car, that’s fine.”
“Hehe, really!”
“Is there a problem?”
“No, of course not!” Jian Dan knew that if she kept talking, she would definitely give herself away and would have to think of another way out.
Sometimes, when luck is on your side, even picking up a stone can turn it into gold!
Just as the two were about to leave, Li Jing suddenly called Uncle and summoned him to the pany…
“Little Jian, why did you only e now?”
“There was a small problem. What’s going on exactly, Grandpa? Don’t tell me you’ve caused trouble again?” The fact that Grandpa asked her to e alone made Jian Dan think of this first. “Granny just stepped out for a couple days, and you—”
“Little Jian, what are you talking about? Why would it be me causing trouble? Do I always seem like a troublemaker to you?”
“Yes!” Jian Dan replied without any hesitation.
“Little Jian, you’ve hurt my feelings. I thought you were someone who could understand me!”
“Okay, okay, I was wrong. But what is it, Grandpa?”
“Girl, it’s my business!” Another voice spoke up.
Jian Dan followed the voice and was surprised to see, “Grandpa Shang? What are you doing here?”
“Don’t even mention it, I’ve been almost driven mad by that kid Shang Simiao recently.”
“Uncle Simiao? Are you sure you’re not mistaken?” Uncle Simiao has always been very stable, Jian Dan could believe it if Sizhe drove him mad.
“How could I be mistaken? Sizhe is already married, and Shang Simiao still hasn’t settled down yet. How can I not worry?”
“So it’s about that!”
“What else could it be? He’s not getting any younger, and I’m still waiting to hold a grandson! Chu Liyuan already has four grandkids, but I have yet to even see the hair of a grandchild!” Old Shang said helplessly.
