Chapter 18 Collection of Interest
"Grandpa is getting old. If he leaves Jincheng, he won't be able to come back to see grandpa often." Xin Xiaoyue looked at the old fox with a very sincere look and tone.
The old fox felt like he had been stabbed several times in the chest. He used to think that his granddaughter was a cow, with a small structure, no flexibility, and no rules. Now, he realized that she was a wolf, aggressive and looking for opportunities to eat people.
"Alas." When Grandpa Jiang heard what Xin Xiaoyue said, he sighed, looked at the old fox, and said, "Weiguo, you are so lucky to have such a granddaughter. Look at me, my grandchildren, don't make me angry to death.
Okay, everyone is unfilial."
"Brother, what you said is wrong. Look at your grandchildren, which one is not alone?" The old fox had a strong desire to survive and quickly complimented Mr. Jiang.
After hearing this, Mr. Jiang's face brightened a little, and he said that was all they could do. Then, the conversation changed and he said that he liked Xin Xiaoyue as soon as he saw her.
The old fox also hurriedly answered the conversation and said: "Xiaoyue is a child who has always been quiet, thoughtful, down-to-earth, and takes great care of her family. I also like her very much. No, I also mentioned her when I filled out my application for the college entrance examination. She
But he refused to go to other places, and even retorted to me that he had to study hard, as it is the same in any university."
Xin Xiaoyue admired the old fox in her heart: The old fox is indeed an old fox. Otherwise, even with Xin Ruhai's rank, marrying He Tianyun would only result in losing all the dowry brought by his wife, and the whole family would be spoiled by the northwest wind.
"What a good boy." When Mr. Jiang heard this, he looked at Xin Xiaoyue and nodded, and said to the old fox, "I am not as good as you in educating my children and grandchildren."
"Brother, you are being too modest when you say this." The old fox said politely.
Mr. Jiang ignored him and asked Xin Xiaoyue: "Why do you want to study archeology? Archeology is dangerous and difficult."
"At first it was just a matter of interest. Later, after I learned about history and saw that many traditional cultures had disappeared, I wanted to contribute to the inheritance of Chinese culture." Xin Xiaoyue answered generously.
In fact, if Wang Xuan hadn't been interested in doing research on traditional culture after retirement, she probably wouldn't have chosen the Department of Archeology even if she gave her head.
"There are not many young people with such ambitions." Mr. Jiang liked the girl even more.
The old fox looked at all this and was very satisfied with the current situation.
He estimated that Mr. Jiang liked her so much that his marriage to Jiang Laojiu could be settled with him first.
In this way, it would be considered as taking the first step and showing sincerity in cooperating with that person. In the days to come, the Xin family will have both sides and achieve success.
Thinking of this, the old fox's eyebrows narrowed into a slit, and his face was full of excitement.
"Let's have dinner," the old fox ordered.
Xin Xiaoyue asked the old fox: "I wonder why dad, mom, and the eldest sister and the younger sister didn't come?"
"You still have clients on your father's side. My eldest sister has a bad cold and is unable to attend. An Ning will take the college entrance examination in more than two months and is studying hard in the study. Your mother is working in the kitchen, so she came here." The old fox explained.
Xin Xiaoyue said "Oh" and looked at the dishes coming out of the kitchen one by one. She also looked at the old fox's uncontrollable joy, with a cold sarcasm in her heart.
After He Tianyun took his seat, the banquet officially started. No one at the table drank alcohol, so they all drank juice.
Xin Xiaoyue and Shang Yuetang were both afraid that the tableware was weird, so they exchanged it without leaving any trace.
Jiang Chengyou, who was on the side, saw everything in his eyes and thought: This Xin Xiaoyue is very interesting. She is on guard against being plotted at home. This Xin family has a small appearance, but there are quite a lot of things going on.
Shang Yuetang glanced at Jiang Chengyou from time to time, but it was definitely not the kind of look that looked at him, but a sarcastic look that was insightful and half-smiling. It made Jiang Chengyou very angry, but it was hard to get angry.
Although Mr. Jiang is a businessman, he also comes from a wealthy family. He adheres to the principle of "eating without talking or sleeping without talking", so after a meal, he only eats and eats in a reserved manner.
After the meal was finished, the old fox naturally asked Xin Xiaoyue to make tea for Mr. Jiang.
While making tea, Shang Yuetang accidentally pushed He Tianyun aside. He Tianyun staggered, and even though he did not put Xin Xiaoyue in, the boiling water was spilled.
He Tianyun didn't dare to have an attack, but Grandpa Jiang stood up and asked: "Xiaoyue, are you burned?"
Xin Xiaoyue smiled and shook her head and said, "It's just that the skirt is a little wet. I'll clean it up."
"Go quickly, go quickly, I see the boiling water is scalding my hands." Mr. Jiang was very nervous.
"Yuetang, you can make tea for Grandpa Jiang and the others. I'll go and clean up." Xin Xiaoyue stood up calmly and went upstairs.
Jiang Chengyou also left on the pretext of going to the toilet. Shang Yuetang really wanted to stop Jiang Chengyou, but he was making tea and had no choice but to watch Jiang Chengyou leave.
When they first found Xin Ruhai, Xin Xiaoyue and her brother lived back in Xin's house for a while. Xin Xiaoyue's room was at the end of the ground floor, which was converted into a small utility room.
The rooms of Xin Zining and Xin Zichen are on the third floor. However, the study room where Xin Zining usually studies is on the ground floor.
Xin Xiaoyue went downstairs, and instead of going back to the utility room, she knocked on Xin Zining's study door.
Xin Zining saw that it was Xin Xiaoyue, and remembered that night, she stood in front of the flower bed like a ghost, saying with her lips that she would not let them go.
Suddenly, a cold feeling rose from the soles of his feet. Xin Zining hurriedly hid in the door, pretending to close the door at any time, and asked quickly: "What do you want to do?"
"Third sister, are you so nervous?" Xin Xiaoyue chuckled.
"I have to review and I don't have time to talk to you." After Xin Zining finished speaking, he closed the door.
Xin Xiaoyue stretched out her hand to support the door and said: "You have to study hard. My sister, who is the top scorer in the provincial college entrance examination, finally came back once. Of course she wants to give you some advice." Xin Xiaoyue said, pushing open Xin Zining's door.
Xin Zining wanted to scream, but Xin Xiaoyue glanced at her and said, "What's your name? If Grandpa Jiang thinks that the Xin family is not in harmony, you must be aware of Grandpa's methods."
"You, who are you?" Xin Zining stepped back repeatedly.
In her impression, this half-sister from the country was silent and rarely dressed, and she was not well-dressed. She just suffered the bullying silently. In fact, she had always been kind to her sister.
It was also because she felt that this country sister could be manipulated that she dared to follow the arrangements of her grandfather and Liao Qingyu and send her to the bed of the ninth young master of the Jiang family.
"I am your second sister." Xin Xiaoyue closed the door and pushed Xin Zining onto the bed. She pulled a chair and sat down by the bed, looking at her coldly.
"You, you are not my second sister." Xin Zining shook his head and wanted to move, but found that he had no strength at all, and a huge fear enveloped him.
Xin Xiaoyue sneered, took out the hairpin and poked it on Xin Zining's face, saying softly: "Don't say useless things, answer my few questions seriously, otherwise I will scratch your face by mistake and I will ensure you leave scars."
, I don’t dare to have an attack yet. At least Grandpa Jiang is upstairs.”
