Yu Shi Yan Was a Good Thing

"No, there's nothing wrong with it," Grandma Jiang shook her head and said.

Then she looked at Shi Yan and added, "It's just..."

As she said that, she suddenly stopped.

Shi Yan saw it in her eyes and did not urge her to continue. She waited quietly for her to speak. It was as Grandma Jiang said, she was an excellent listener; if Grandma Jiang did not say anything, she did not intend to ask further.

Grandma Jiang was very fond of her quiet and courteous manner. After a moment of hesitation, she said, "As for Lao Wu, I have rarely mentioned him to you. You should know very little about him."

Shi Yan gave a noncommittal and elegant smile.

"Lao Wu used to be a doctor with excellent medical skills. He once worked in a hospital in Jingdou. Although Lao Wu used to have a thin temperament, he was much more spirited than he is now. All the changes came from the car accident three years ago."

Car accident?

Shi Yan recalled the sickly appearance of that person who was as gentle as jade, sitting in a wheelchair. Her expression finally changed slightly.

"In that car accident, Laowu suffered extremely serious injuries and was almost unable to be saved..."

At this point, Grandma Jiang let out a long sigh.

"Fortunately, Lao Wu's achievements in the medical world were not small. He made many powerful colleagues and friends, which was why he was able to survive due to the combined efforts of many experts. However, Lao Wu's body was also greatly affected because of this. He had no choice but to quit his job and go home to recuperate. This period of recuperation lasted for three years."

"Then now he..."

Shi Yan finally could not help but ask.

Grandma Jiang looked at her and met her calm gaze. She paused and said, "It doesn't affect his normal life, but his body is still fundamentally injured. He needs to rest well while having regular checkups.

"Ever since the car accident three years ago, Fifth Brother likes to lock himself in the yard and doesn't like to be disturbed by others. Unless he wants to go out, no one can invite him. It was very rare for you to meet him in the yard today. He hasn't liked to interact with others since he came back three years ago. It's even rarer for him to agree to let you send him back."

Grandma Jiang wouldn't say these things for no reason, but Shi Yan didn't ask any further. Instead, she quietly waited for Grandma Jiang to continue.

Sure enough, after a few steps, Grandma Jiang spoke again.

"Xiao Yan, Grandma Jiang treats you as her own granddaughter. From your standpoint, I'm thinking of you. Grandma Jiang actually doesn't approve of you interacting with Lao Wu much, but... Grandma Jiang still wants to be selfish for once."

Shi Yan was a little puzzled, but she didn't show it on her face.

"Grandma Jiang, feel free to say what you want to say."

Her voice was elegant and ethereal, and her tone was indifferent, as if she wasn't very curious about what the old lady was going to say next.

She was just like that. She didn't care about anything and was able to deal with anything calmly.

When the old lady met her three years ago, what she admired the most was her unchanging attitude, even when Mount Tai collapsed.

Three years ago, she was only 16 years old.

Three years had passed, and she was even more reserved and steady than she was back then. Just by looking at it like that, even Grandma Jiang, who had seen countless people, could not see the true thoughts in her heart. However, Grandma Jiang had no intention of getting to the bottom of it.

When facing Shi Yan, she relied on her many years of vision and intuition.

Shi Yan gave her a very good feeling, and she liked and admired her very much. That was enough. As for the rest, Grandma Jiang did not care. This was obvious when Grandma Jiang reminded Jiang Sheng not to investigate Shi Yan.

"This is the first time in three years that I've seen Lao Wu willing to interact with others. So if it is possible, Grandma Jiang hopes that you can interact with him more. His health isn't good, and he always locks himself in the courtyard and doesn't go out. It's not good for him to only rest and recuperate. It's good to go out more, even if it's just to walk around the courtyard.

"Of course, this is Grandma Jiang's selfishness. If you're not willing, you don't have to worry about Grandma Jiang. Everything is based on your wishes. From your standpoint, Grandma Jiang doesn't approve of you having more contact with Fifth Master Jiang."

Grandma Jiang was very honest.

Shi Yan liked this kind of honesty.

Moreover, Grandma Jiang's words... They were exactly what she wanted.

Naturally, Grandma Jiang said that she would consider her position and disapprove of her having more contact with Fifth Master Jiang. There must be a reason for this.

Was this the only reason? Did she care?

No.

She had no desires for so many years, and had finally met what she wanted. Regardless of whether the road ahead was smooth or full of thorns, she would not back down.

Moreover, she was not a person who was afraid of trouble.

"This is not a big deal. Grandma Jiang, you don't have to be like this. Although I have only had contact with Fifth Master Jiang for a short time, I can feel that he is a gentle person. If I can help Fifth Master Jiang, I will do my best."

She agreed, and Grandma Jiang was naturally happy. However, after the joy, she hesitated again.

"But Xiao Yan, it may not be a good thing for you to have a lot of interactions with Fifth Master Jiang."

How could it not be a good thing?

Shi Yan raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Although I don't quite understand what you mean, I know that you are worrying too much."

Grandma Jiang stared at her for a few seconds and suddenly smiled.

"Then I'll have to ask Xiao Yan to take care of Lao Wu. As long as you can get him to go out more, you will be a big help."

"Grandma Jiang, don't expect too much from me. Otherwise, I won't be able to help and will only disappoint you. I can only say that I'll do my best," Shi Yan said with a faint smile.

"Just do your best. I won't force you."

A few minutes later, they arrived at the main building.

They went straight to the restaurant on the second floor.

By the time they arrived, everyone else had arrived.

Actually, there weren't many people. There were only four people.

The eldest couple and the second wife.

The second wife's son, the second young master of the Jiang family, had gone on a vacation with his friends during summer vacation. He hadn't come back, and the third master of the Jiang family was out filming, so he couldn't make it back in time.

On the way here, Grandma Jiang told Shi Yan that everyone else had arrived and were waiting for them. At that time, Shi Yan was filled with a little anticipation, but when she walked into the restaurant and saw only four people, she could not help but feel a little disappointed.

However, her emotions were not obvious. They disappeared in an instant, so even Grandma Jiang did not notice.

"It's just that the family banquet is not a grand banquet. Only our own family members will come back for dinner. The collateral family members and relatives will not come today. Xiao Yan, you don't have to be nervous,"Jiang Rui said to Shi Yan from the side.

Shi Yan knew that if it was a family banquet, it would only be their own family members. Xiao Zhao had mentioned this to her before.

Jiang Rui's voice was not soft, and the four people sitting at the main table heard it.

When they looked over, they stood up in unison.

"Mom."

The four of them greeted Grandma Jiang, one after another.

Jiang Cheng and Jiang Rui also greeted the four of them in turn. Only then did the four of them turn their attention to Shi Yan.

"This is Xiao Yan, right? I've long heard about you from Mom. Logically speaking, since you saved Mom, we should have gone to your house to thank you personally. However, Mom said that you like to be quiet and that you're busy with your studies, so you usually stay at school and don't come home often. She told us not to disturb you, which is why we haven't had the chance to meet you."

The one who spoke was the eldest madam of the Jiang family, Kong Xiangxiang. She was 50 years old this year and still had her charm.

She was also Jiang Rui and Jiang Cheng's mother.

"It's fine now, however. You've come to stay at our house. We can meet whenever you want. The conditions here in Sea City are better than those at your place. There are also many people in the Jiang family. In the future, you can stay here peacefully. We'll take good care of you. Just treat this place as your own home."

Kong Xiangxiang was very warm. Her words sounded normal, but they made Grandma Jiang frown. The smile on Jiang Rui's face froze slightly, and she subconsciously looked at Shi Yan.

Seeing that Shi Yan's faint smile was still there, Jiang Rui secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

Mom really was too much. Why would she compare the conditions in Xiao Yan's family to this place? Why did she mention that Xiao Yan came to stay at their house. Xiaoyan was obviously a guest invited by her grandmother after many invitations. Mother's words were too inappropriate. If Xiaoyan was a sensitive person, she would feel very uncomfortable.

Jiang Rui was about to say something to smooth things over when Grandma Jiang said, "Alright, sit down!"

Everyone could feel Grandma Jiang's displeasure.
