“Little Girl, you’re not joking, are you?”
“How’s that possible?” Nuannuan answered with a smile. “I can guarantee that with my ability, there will be many raw stones with jade inside. When the time comes, I will secretly get someone to cut out the jade. There will be an auction in Jiang District in a few days because I’ll donate a necklace to the military base. Therefore, I’ll attend the auction and auction the jade along with the necklace.”
“Necklace? What necklace are you auctioning?” The old master could not help but think his granddaughter-in-law was full of secrets!
Zhong Nuannuan told the old master about how Aiden had given her a necklace, but Jiang Shuwan wanted to take it for herself. The old master snorted in anger.
If Zhong Nuannuan had not said that she had found out the secret of the Zhong family, Old Master would have felt like he could no longer control the debilitating anger in his body and ensure that the Zhong and Jiang families be punished by the law.
They were too despicable.
When he found out that his Little Girl Nuan was going to auction off the necklace worth a hundred million and the jade that was about to be mined, the old master sighed.
“Little Girl, you’re too considerate!”
“It’s nothing. This is what a wife-to-be of a soldier should do. If the equipment in the military base can be upgraded, the soldiers’ standard of living will improve, and their combat power will increase. Then, on the battlefield, there will be fewer people dragging Big Brother Chi Yang down.”
That was right. To Nuannuan, she would never understand any grand theories in life. Her only reasoning was that she was willing to do anything that was good for Big Brother Chi Yang.
The old master’s eyes teared up when he heard her words.
If that woman could have treated Chi Yang’s father like this back then, Chi Yang’s father would not have lost all hope and died young, right?
Therefore, even though there was still something peculiar about Nuanmuan, after seeing her clear gaze and pure love in the girl’s eyes, Old Master Chi felt that even if there was something wrong with her identity, he was convinced that this was the granddaughter-in-law he had always wanted.
Just as he was about to send a message to Emperor District for someone to produce a new identity for Nuannuan, she received a call from Leng Jinpeng.
After hanging up, Old Master asked, “Why did Lil Leng call you? Did he ask you out for dinner?”
Nuannuan nodded.
“You’re going to perform acupuncture on him today?”
“No!”
“Then, why is he third-wheeling?”
Zhong Nuannuan, ‘…Grandpa, you have so much self-awareness. Are you sure Uncle Leng is the only third wheel?’
“I don’t know. From Uncle Leng’s grave tone of voice, I think he’s looking for me for something.”
“Okay, then let him come. It’s fine, Grandpa’s here with you.”
Tears welled up in Zhong Nuannuan’s eyes. “Yes, with Grandpa around, I’m not afraid of anything.”
When Zhong Nuannuan and Old Master arrived, Chi Yang was already there.
Before the car came to a complete stop, Zhong Nuannuan saw a man dressed in a soldier’s attire standing at the entrance to the private kitchen. He stood as tall and straight as a pine tree.
To be honest, she was used to seeing how those international mercenaries looked like—they neither sat nor stand properly. Therefore, she really liked seeing someone like Big Brother Chi Yang who was such a meticulous man that he appeared proper even when he was standing.
This type of man was a classic example of standing like a pine tree and sitting like a bell. Even if she did not look at his face, he could still send blood spurting out of her face with his attractiveness.
Seeing Zhong Nuannuan’s car drive in, Chi Yang immediately strode over and opened the door for them.
