Old Man Jiang was also taken aback, but he was calmer than Jiang Zongnan. With a calm face, he said, “Those who have arrived are guests. We should treat them as guests.”
He thought for a while and added, “He may have been called here by Young Master Ye.”
The circles in Beijing were not considered small. However, only a few people stood at the top of the pyramid. Ji Nan could only be called by someone like Ye Wangchuan.
Ye Wangchuan wasn’t the same kind of person as Qin Si.
It may also be Ye Lan or Wen Ruxia who had invited him. However, he would only come on Ye Wangchuan’s account!
Jiang Zongnan naturally understood this. He nodded, and his expression relaxed. “I see.”
Although he agreed quickly, his heart still found it hard to believe. Ji Nan was too low-key, and he did not contact people in his circle. He didn’t know what kind of temperament Ji Nan had and did not know how to get along with him. Although he was to greet the guests, he was afraid to offend him.
…
The young man walked slowly. He was carrying a bag, while still looking at his cell phone. It seemed like he was sending a message.
Finally, he walked up to Jiang Zongnan and Old Man Jiang. He put away his cell phone, looking lighthearted and respectful. He seemed to have a good attitude. He handed over the bag to them and said, “Old Master Jiang, congratulations. This is a small gift from me, please accept it.”
“Thank you.”
Jiang Weishang thanked him.
Jiang Zongnan took the bag. He didn’t know what was inside, so he just exchanged a few greetings.
Qiao Nian walked over unhurriedly.
She was wearing a baseball cap, and her temperament was very conspicuous. She walked up to Old Man Jiang and glanced up at the young man standing there. Her expression was faint. It was as if she didn’t know him. Her gaze fell on the old man in the wheelchair, and she greeted him politely. “Grandpa, I’m here.”
“Nian Nian, you have arrived.” Old Man Jiang brushed aside the courtesy. With a kind smile on his face, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly beckoned to her. “Come over here, let me have a look at you.”
If this was someone else, Qiao Nian wouldn’t have done so. However, in front of the Old Master, she looked very well-tempered and approachable. She walked over obediently and let him size her up. He grabbed her hands and took a good look at her.
“You have grown thinner.” Old Master Jiang looked at her for a long time and came to a conclusion. He felt very sad for her. “Were you very stressed by the College Entrance Examination? Your face looks a lot slimmer now.”
Qiao Nian never paid attention to her weight and did not pay much attention to her appearance. Seeing that Old Man Jiang said that she had lost weight, she didn’t know if she really grew thinner. She originally wanted to raise her hand to pull down the brim of her cap, but she felt that it would be impolite. She put her hand down just as she raised it and said, “I will eat more food in the future.”
“Yes, you should eat more and gain a little more weight. Girls should look a little bit chubby. You look very thin.” Old Man Jiang hadn’t seen her for a long time. He finally saw her and couldn’t wait to pull her aside. He couldn’t hide his concern and joy. “You lived in Rao City, and I lived far away. Your brother is careless and cannot take good care of you. Now that you are in Beijing, Grandpa will take care of you and stew you a soup every week so that you will get more nutrition.”
He would stew soup every week?
The corner of Qiao Nian’s mouth twitched.
However, she didn’t say anything and agreed lightly.
Old Man Jiang took her by the hand. He wanted to ask her about the College Entrance Examination and life in Rao City. However, from the corner of his eyes, he noticed the young man who had not left. He endured the excitement and introduced him to Qiao Nian.
