C81 (1/2)
Jiang Yaoyao's home was located in a courtyard in the northern part of the city. The yellow-brown wooden door and the grey walls made it very obvious that the person who could live here was either rich or noble.
When the two cars stopped at the entrance of the courtyard and the four people got off, Jiang Yaoyao excitedly opened the door. When Chen Shen saw the scene inside the courtyard, he could not help but exclaim: ”Yaoyao, your house is really big huh …”
The courtyard was extremely wide; there was no room in the north room, only three ears, three ears, three rooms in the east and three rooms in the west. There was a corridor in front of the house to avoid the wind and rain. In addition, the front yard and back yard are separated by the wall of the yard, and the wall of the yard is connected by the gate of the moon. The front yard was deep and shallow, with one or two houses as gatekeepers and the backyard as living rooms.
Jiang Yaoyao chuckled, and brought the three into the courtyard, arriving at a room in the backyard …
At this moment, there were two elders sitting on a table made of fragrant rosewood while sipping tea and playing chess.
One of them was an old man in his forties. He was thin and weak, but he looked extremely sturdy. He had a benevolent face and sunken eye sockets. His dark brown eyes were brimming with vigor and vitality.
The other old man was about the same age as the previous one. He had a face covered in red light, and two sunken eyes. His eyes were deep and bright.
The two of them were completely focused on the chess pieces on the board and did not notice the four people who entered the room. The four of them naturally followed the rules and did not disturb them as they silently stood beside the two.
However, when Lee Jie saw the old man, who had the aura of a soldier, playing chess in the room, he seemed to recognize him.
Chen Shen observed the board game with his head raised, and could not help but smile, as if he had noticed Ni Duan.
The benevolent old man had a carefree look, while the military old man had a cautious expression, obviously at a disadvantage.
After about five minutes, the old man with the aura of a soldier lifted the chess piece in his hand without hesitation and placed it on a spot.
The benevolent old man laughed heartily, picked up the chess piece and put it down hard on the board. ”General, Old Zheng, you've lost again!” ”Haha …”
”Old Jiang, don't get cocky too early. It's still too early. If I don't beat you today, I won't leave!” The old man with the bearing of a soldier was unconvinced like a child.
”Grandpa Zheng, it's better if you don't meet my grandfather. She studies chess everyday, you won't win.” Jiang Yaoyao interrupted and said mischievously.
The two old men looked over after hearing the commotion. Seemingly because they were playing too seriously, they noticed Jiang Yaoyao and the other three people.
”Yaoyao, why did you not speak when you returned?” The benevolent old man looked at her amiably.
”Grandfather, you played chess with Grandpa Zheng so seriously, how could I dare to disturb you?”
So it turned out that this benevolent looking old man was Jiang Yaoyao's grandfather.
The old man with the aura of a soldier noticed Lee Jie at this time, and asked with a sonorous and powerful voice: ”Lee Jie, why have you come?”
Lee Jie walked up to the elder with a straight back and saluted respectfully: ”Greetings, Old Chief. I am here to accompany my friend as a guest.”
”Grandpa Zheng? Old head? ”Could it be that this old man is Zheng Jize's grandfather?” Chen Shen held the box in both hands and stood there quietly.
Elder Jiang glanced at Lee Jie. ”Old Zheng, who is this?”
”His name is Lee Jie, he's one of my son's capable subordinates, and is currently serving as a tactical instructor in the special forces.” Elder Zheng introduced.
Elder Jiang nodded, his deep gaze sweeping past them.
He was naturally familiar with the friendship between Wen Ruolin and Jiang Yaoyao, so he could easily guess that there was only an unfamiliar face left.
”Young man, you are the one who cured the Yaoyao and removed his birthmark, right? I really didn't expect you to be so young.” Elder Jiang looked at Chen Shen carefully.
”You're too kind.” Chen Shen took a step forward, placed the box in his hand on the ground, and said respectfully: ”This is my first time visiting you, and I didn't prepare any valuable gifts, I hope you don't mind.”
”Young man, I invited you here as a guest. You don't need to bring any presents. Bring them back when you leave.” Elder Jiang's expression changed slightly, as if he was disgusted with the gift ceremony.
Jiang Yaoyao was clear of his grandfather's temperament, and immediately explained: ”Grandfather, these things are the intentions of Big Brother Chen, you should accept them.”
Elder Jiang was once a great being who held high authority. Countless people came to pay their respects, and even though they had succeeded and retreated, there were still some who were successful. Some people did not hesitate to ask him for a lot of money, but all of the people who came were rejected. Now, Chen Shen brought along a bunch of gifts and didn't immediately chase him out. It was still on account of him treating his granddaughter's illness.
