    Jiang Shuyi felt the surroundings were very quiet, and opened his eyes a little uneasy.

    Wen Yao was not in the living room, only Jiang Jinnian and Jiang Haichao were left.

    "...Dad, where's Wen Yao?"

    "Xiaowen, she just went out."

    Jiang Shuyi somehow felt that Jiang Haichao didn't look him in the eyes, "Goed out?"

    "Shuyi, sit down here." Jiang Jinnian patted the seat in front of him.

    Jiang Shuyi didn't know why Jiang Jinnian looked so serious, but she still walked over quietly.

    She rubbed her eyes and yawned.

    Seeing her like this, Jiang Jinnian sighed and said, "I don't think you are suitable for her."

    Jiang Shuyi didn't know why Jiang Jinnian's attitude changed when he woke up from sleep. He still felt a little sleepy, but when he heard this sentence, he jumped up from the chair.

    "……grandfather?"

    "Don't you like her very much? You were still talking about letting her marry into our family this morning."

    Jiang Shuyi said that she had heard it with her own ears, obviously she had already decided where to spend her honeymoon in her heart, how could she say that it was not suitable?

    Jiang Jinnian was silent for a while, "It's not that I don't like her, that child is well-behaved and smart."

    "But," Jiang Jinnian turned around quietly."

    "Are you saying that Wen Yao's father is in debt..."

    Jiang Shuyi felt that this was not a problem at all.

    "It's not a question of whether the girl's family is rich or not," Jiang Jinnian interrupted Jiang Shuyi.

    "That child is very poor. There are problems in the family and money. If she wants to study further, I can actually subsidize her. She will just return it to me after she enters society. Grandpa, I don't care about these..."

    "These are just minor problems……"

    Jiang Jinnian looked at Jiang Shuyi, frowned and said quietly.

    Jiang Shuyi sat up, just about to continue to refute, Jiang Jinnian spoke again,

    "But, Shuyi, you are my granddaughter. I hope that the person who will be with you will match you. It doesn't have to be as well-matched as our family, but at least, she must at least have parents, and she can't be alone."

    "She can't be an orphan..."

    "Dad, you—" Jiang Haichao looked at the old man and frowned.

    When Jiang Shuyi heard the word "orphan", his voice became louder,

    "Mother Wen Yao just passed away early...you can't say that about her, how can you say that about people..."

    "Then I won't say that. I said I hope you can be with a child from a healthy family. Are you satisfied?" The old man narrowed his eyes.

    Jiang Shuyi still wanted to refute, but she didn't know where to refute.

    Jiang Jinnian taught Jiang Shuyi the same way: "She must at least be a child with parents."

    "A person who grows up in an environment where the family is missing does not understand home."

    "With such a person, you can't form a family. Even if you and her start a family and live together, there will definitely be many problems in the future. There will be more problems..."

    "I don't support you being together." The old man said it word by word.

    Jiang Jinnian has lived for more than 70 years. When such an old man reprimands others with his experience, young people have no right to speak.

    But Jiang Shuyi was still unconvinced, and kept a straight face,

    "You can't guarantee that there will be no problems living with people with healthy families... There are problems with all kinds of people..."

    "That's another matter." Jiang Jinnian ignored her objection.

    "Just now I played a game of chess with that little girl."

    "A person's chess strategy can be seen in a person's mentality. Watching that child play chess, I feel that she is cold-hearted."

    The old man pointed to his chest, "She's cold here."

    "You are with such a person, you are not familiar with it."

    ——What do you know...

    Jiang Shuyi opened his mouth slightly, but her language skills were always lacking in front of this old man, so she said after a while:

    "Wen Yao just doesn't show much on her face, she is not the kind of person you said..."

    "..." Jiang Jinnian looked at Jiang Shuyi, his eyes darkened.

    Jiang Shuyi glanced at Jiang Haichao, wanting Jiang Haichao to help him, "Dad, tell me about grandpa..."

    "Dad, that's not what it says—"

    Jiang Haichao coughed, and just as he was about to speak, Jiang Jinnian answered, "Shuyi is still young, so he doesn't understand this."

    Jiang Jinnian put one hand on the mahogany table, "You are Shuyi's father, why don't you think about Shuyi?"

    The purple sand teapot burning on the coffee table made a sound, the water boiled, and steam diffused in the room.

    Jiang Shuyi looked at the old man, and felt that he had nothing to say for a moment, and felt very aggrieved in his heart.

    Jiang Shuyi was dissatisfied with every word the old man said, seeing that Wen Yao hadn't come back for a long time, she suddenly raised her head as if thinking of it,

    "Grandpa, did you tell Wen Yao these words just now?"

    "I didn't mention her, but you should know if you understand her." The old man slowly poured water into the teacup.

    "..." Jiang Shuyi was stunned.

    "How can you do this!"

    Jiang Shuyi looked at Jiang Jinnian in disbelief, his voice was much louder than usual, as if he was roaring.

    The old man looked at Jiang Shuyi with a frown, and paused while pouring tea.

    Jiang Shuyi knew that Wen Yao was very sensitive, and also knew that his family members had always been a thorn in Wen Yao's heart, so he never touched this topic, but every time he came across this topic, he would hug Wen Yao,Or divert Wen Yao's attention.

    But she didn't expect the old man to treat Wen Yao like this, and Jiang Shuyi was furious for a while.

    Thinking of Wen Yao's mood now, Jiang Shuyi's heart ached and he stomped his feet angrily.

    "She's such a nice person, I'm usually reluctant to talk about her, how can you bully her?"

    "Shuyi, I'm talking about you, why..." The old man was about to speak again.

    "I don't listen."

    Jiang Shuyi glared at Jiang Jinnian, then ran out of the living room to see Wen Yao.

    It didn't take long for Jiang Shuyi to find Wen Yao, because Wen Yao was standing on the stairs, leaning against the wall quietly, her shadow was stretched by the light in the corridor, seeing Jiang Shuyi walking over, she calmly raised her head.

    "Wen Yao, did you hear that?" Jiang Shuyi asked a little uneasy.

    Wen Yao didn't answer.

    Jiang Shuyi quickly hugged Wen Yao, "Don't listen to what the old man said."

    "Whether he likes you or not is different from my liking you." She patted Wen Yao's head.

    "I like you very much."

    Wen Yao leaned on Jiang Shuyi's shoulder and did not speak.

    "Hey, why are your hands so cold." Jiang Shuyi said and put Wen Yao's hand into his pocket again.

    Jiang Haichao's voice came from the corridor.

    Jiang Shuyi knew that Jiang Haichao was looking for him, so he took La Wen Yao's hand and walked towards the door.

    "Where are you going?" Wen Yao looked at Jiang Shuyi suspiciously.

    "I don't want to have dinner with them tonight..." Jiang Shuyi snorted.

    "I haven't eaten Haidilao for a long time, shall we go to Haidilao?" She smiled.

    Jiang Shuyi took Wen Yao to a Haidilao restaurant in the city center, and was wondering whether to choose mushroom pot or tomato pot in Sigongge, when Jiang Haichao called.

    Jiang Shuyi looked at the caller ID and was a little angry, so he didn't answer it.

    "I think it's better for you to answer the phone, Jiang Shuyi." Wen Yao said quietly.

    Jiang Shuyi remembered that he didn't speak for Wen Yao just now, although he felt a little uneasy, he didn't answer the phone.

    So after Jiang Haichao made three phone calls, the phone stopped ringing.

    After a while, Jiang Shuyi called the waiter from Haidilao, and was about to ask what a health pot was, when the phone rang again.

    It was Tang Wenzhen calling.

    While on the phone, she sent a text message,

    "..." Jiang Shuyi glanced at the text message, the tea in his mouth could not be filled.

    —— "Jiang Shuyi, your father said he would ask someone from the security team to look for you."

    what?Does the security team mean the company's security team?

    Jiang Shuyi answered the phone honestly.

    "Hello, Mom?" She didn't have the confidence she had just now.

    "I told you not to answer the phone before, but you picked up your temper again?"

    On the other end of the phone was Tang Wenzhen's scolding voice.

    Jiang Shuyi didn't expect Tang Wenzhen to be so fierce, she shrank her neck, thinking that she would never admit defeat, so she didn't answer.

    "Where are you now?"

    Jiang Shuyi was silent for a while, and reported the name of Haidilao where he is now.

    "..." Tang Wenzhen was silent on the other end of the phone for a long time, and finally sighed, "...as long as you are all right."

    Jiang Shuyi's heart suddenly softened.

    "mom……"

    "If you haven't eaten yet, bring Xiao Wen back to eat." Tang Wenzhen said word by word.

    Take it back to let Wen Yao see the old man's face?

    "..." Jiang Shuyi cautiously did not reply.

    "I've already told your father and them."

    "But..." Jiang Shuyi still felt that it was a bit too much.

    "The Chinese New Year is coming soon, Jiang Shuyi, the old man is getting old, and the family can't get together a few times."

    Jiang Shuyi let out a "hmm", she knew this too.

    "It's true that what your grandfather said was biased, but he's used to being partial to you. Even if you are such a virtuous person, he still thinks you are a piece of gold."

    Tang Wenzhen spoke mercilessly on the other end of the phone,

    "He always thinks that his granddaughter is the best in the world even if there are all kinds of bad things, so he can say those things with your virtue."

    What virtue?Sitting in the Haidilao shop, Jiang Shuyi blinked in dissatisfaction.

    "If you ask me, if you find someone like Xiao Wen, you will be very incensed..."

    Jiang Shuyi glanced at Wen Yao, but said nothing, "..."

    "What did you do wrong? Your grandfather is protecting you. I have said that he and your father will raise you sooner or later..."

    ""Nursing waste"..." Jiang Shuyi murmured.

    "But you are wrong, Jiang Shuyi." Tang Wenzhen changed the topic on the other end of the phone.

    "You drag Xiao Wen out like this, do you think you are doing right?"

    "..." Jiang Shuyi shrank her neck, she was a little afraid of such rhetorical questions.

    "You will only leave a worse impression on the old man. Can't you be smarter and more mature?"

    Tang Wenzhen sighed again.

    "..." Jiang Shuyi nodded silently.

    "The old man is old and his heart is not good. He is wrong, and you can't be wrong. After you left, his blood pressure has not dropped. Do you know that you are killing him?"

    "..." Jiang Shuyi lowered his head, feeling that every word and every word hurt his heart.

    "Don't worry us, your grandpa knows that you are coming back today, and all the food you like to eat will be prepared tonight."

    "..." Jiang Shuyi responded.

    "Come back early." Tang Wenzhen said.

    "En." Jiang Shuyi nodded.
