Chapter 11 - Insolvency (3)

”Grandfather, Second Uncle is having dinner.” Yang Xi still had something to do in the afternoon, so even if Second Uncle came, she did not intend to break her habit.

”Sissy's really capable.” Even his own mother would not be able to eat so many dishes, he was surprised that his own grandfather actually thought that it was normal, thinking that his grandfather had lived such a life for so many years, he could not help but feel sad, thought that he was too unfilial. It was because his grandfather had suppressed him and did not let him do anything, that he would not be happy, and he did not even know that his grandfather was leading such a life.

”Alright, that's good.” Seeing the other party's expression, Grandpa Jane couldn't help but find it funny. If he were old, he would be able to eat as much as he liked everyday. This way of eating would be simple, but also healthy.

This meal made Grandpa Jane very happy, because his granddaughter didn't give him the standard today. He had eaten quite a few pieces of meat, so how could he not be happy?

At first, he had thought that the old man and Qian Qian had led a too complicated life. However, after hearing about it, he felt that the taste was really good, but it was much better than those restaurants that had been groomed outside. At least the cabbage tasted like cabbage, and not like seasonings.

On the other hand, he thought, it's fine if this old man wants to eat health food, but pulling a little girl like Qian Qian to eat this kind of food was really too excessive.

Alright, it would be great if he could get another bowl. How could it only be enough for a single bowl for each person? He still hadn't eaten his fill, so he begged for more to make more.

After packing up, Yang Xi left the room. Although she seemed to only be going to the experiment lab to help, the professor was really taking her along and was even giving her 2000 living allowance. This was equivalent to the salary she received in her previous life for half a month.

The Second Uncle Jane was naturally busy when something happened at home. He came to Grandfather Jane's side because he knew that there were some connections that they could not get in touch with, and that would help them reduce some of their losses. Furthermore, she had to see if his big brother, who was known to be very popular, was safe or not.

The Second Uncle Jane and Yang Xi left one after the other, causing the old mansion to become extremely quiet. Grandfather Jane no longer looked as he used to look ten years older, instead, he only went back to his room and took out the photo his wife took. When he thought about what his wife had said back then, he felt that he was really too arrogant.

”Back then, I listened to you and took a lady from the house with the scent of books, but I was unable to bring benefits to my family. Teaching children is indeed enough.” When he saw his wife happily hugging Qian Qian, he couldn't help but to laugh. In fact, he himself clearly knew that he was a merchant, and had always placed great importance on profit. If his wife hadn't treated his granddaughter so differently back then, he might not have noticed this child, who was considered a disgrace to Jian Family.

But more than ten years had passed, and he had become that child that he could take care of casually. In the future, when he came to protect the Jian Family's last chance of retreat, he couldn't help but feel a little melancholy.

”My wife, you said that the child was intelligent back then, so he definitely isn't that level of ingrate. At that time, I even laughed at you, and you knew that as well.” Everything had developed according to what his wife had said. Even his eldest son's wife, whom he had been very proud of at the time, was a muddy person. He didn't know what had happened to his eldest brother all these years and couldn't even find out that his own wife was with someone else.

He himself also liked the fresh meat, so he did not like his own wife at all. If he did not want to be looked for for for trouble, naturally, he could only turn a blind eye to the other party's affairs, and close one eye. As long as he did not cause any trouble, he would always keep the matter a secret.

As for the little girl who was considered to be very intelligent, Yang Xi had indeed met with trouble. She had never expected that Zhong's grandma, who had just left in the morning, would come looking for her again, and furthermore, find her experiment lab. Because Yang Xi was cooperating with others and wasn't a main personnel, he didn't have his own experiment lab.

”I'm going out for a bit.” Yang Xi also felt very embarrassed. An important place like the laboratory, normal people wouldn't be able to enter, but Zhong's grandma had the principal to accompany him, so this kind of place was like a place with no people around. In reality, this kind of behavior made people in the academic world extremely unhappy, even professors who usually liked Yang Xi frowned a little, but they knew the situation of the other party, so they didn't let them in directly.

”Is there anything for Zhong's grandma?” Yang Xi thought that if it wasn't for the sake of face, she really wouldn't have endured it anymore. I haven't even made a decision with your grandson and you're already investigating.

”I don't need to go to the laboratory anymore.” Zhong's grandma had a face full of disgust. Looking at how all of them were dressed in white with masks, she felt that this job was very embarrassing. Of course, in her heart, she felt that Yang Xi was a very embarrassing person, no matter what she did.
