Old Master Su shook his head.
Did Old Man Jiang really think this would provoke him?
Wasn't this a joke?
Lin Xuan had gone to the restroom.
Grandpa Jiang said smugly, "Old Man Su, are you feeling very sad and miserable right now?"
Old Master Su rolled his eyes. "What are you talking about? Why would I be sad and miserable?"
Grandpa Jiang snorted in his heart.
Keep pretending. Just keep pretending.
Old Master Su continued to smile. "As for why I said I wouldn't be sad and miserable, you'll find out soon enough."
"On the contrary, Old Man Jiang, the one who should be sad and miserable is you."
"Tsk." Grandpa Jiang scoffed coldly. "Me, sad and miserable? You're overthinking it. I couldn't be happier."
Looking at the expression on Old Master Su's face, Grandpa Jiang sensed that something was off.
Grandpa Jiang furrowed his brows tightly.
What in the world was going on?
This Old Man Su was supposed to be in great pain, so why couldn't he see even the slightest hint of suffering on his face?
Could it be that this Old Man Su was just too good at acting?
Yes.
That must be it.
Old Man Su was acting so calm; he must be putting on a show for him!
"Old Man Jiang, seeing how smug you are, you probably still don't know who Little Xuan's girlfriend is, do you?" Old Master Su said with a smile.
"I have nothing to worry about when it comes to Little Xuan's girlfriend," Grandpa Jiang said with a beaming smile. "Little Xuan is so outstanding; his taste in women can't be that bad."
Toward the end of his sentence, Grandpa Jiang's confidence waned a bit.
Little Xuan's taste in women... he really couldn't compliment it.
Take Qin Ruoyao, for example.
She was a textbook gold digger and a two-faced manipulator.
Yet Little Xuan had chased after her and fawned over her for so long.
"I like the sound of that. Little Xuan's taste in finding a girlfriend is indeed quite good." Old Master Su nodded in agreement.
Grandpa Jiang cast a confused glance at him.
"Old Man Su, with that proud look on your face, anyone who didn't know better would think Little Xuan's girlfriend is your granddaughter."
For some reason, seeing that expression on Old Man Su's face made him feel extremely displeased.
Old Master Su gave a cold snort.
Wasn't Little Xuan's girlfriend exactly his granddaughter?
Grandpa Jiang said, "Speaking of which, Old Man Su, you show off every day, saying that your precious granddaughter is no longer single and found a particularly outstanding boyfriend. Where is he?"
"How come I've never seen you bring him out?"
If Su Hua really had a boyfriend, he was quite curious about who this boyfriend could be, to actually make someone so cold, aloof from men, and entirely devoted to work fall in love.
His own eldest granddaughter was also aloof from men and entirely devoted to work.
If he knew what type of guy Su Hua liked, perhaps he could introduce the same type of guy to his eldest granddaughter, and maybe she would like him.
As for his youngest granddaughter...
Never mind for now.
After the incident with Liang Yilong, she probably had psychological trauma regarding men.
In the short term, he better not make Tongtong go on blind dates or rush her into marriage.
"Old Man Su," Grandpa Jiang said, "this boyfriend of your granddaughter's... could it be that she isn't actually dating anyone and just made him up?"
"Who said that?" Old Master Su retorted. "He is absolutely a genuine, flesh-and-blood boyfriend."
Grandpa Jiang: "Then bring him out for us to meet."
Old Master Su said with a smile, "You'll be able to meet him right away."
Lin Xuan finished using the restroom and returned.
Old Master Su smiled.
Hua'er's boyfriend, wasn't he right in front of their eyes?
Lin Xuan walked over and asked in confusion, "Grandpa Su, Grandpa, what are you talking about?"
"Nothing much," Old Master Su shook his head and said. "We were just talking about you and your girlfriend."
Grandpa Jiang frowned deeply.
Just now, he was clearly talking about Su Hua and her boyfriend.
What did that have to do with Little Xuan and his girlfriend?
Jiang Yutong and Jiang Manting sat on the sofa the entire time without saying a word.
Jiang Yutong couldn't help but say, "Big sister, what do you think Grandpa's reaction will be if he finds out that Little Xuan's girlfriend is Elder Su's granddaughter?"
Jiang Manting said, "He'll probably be very angry."
He would definitely be furious beyond belief.
He had always found Elder Su to be an eyesore. Knowing that his own grandson was snatched away so early by Elder Su's granddaughter, how could he possibly be in a good mood?
"Click, clack, click—"
A burst of footsteps came from the doorway.
The servants wouldn't wear high heels.
These footsteps should belong to Little Xuan's girlfriend.
Everyone in the living room looked toward the door.
Grandpa Jiang froze.
Wasn't this Old Man Su's granddaughter, Su Hua?
Why did she come over to their Jiang family home?
Lin Xuan strode over to Su Hua.
"Hua, is all your work taken care of?" Lin Xuan asked with concern.
"Mhm, it wasn't anything urgent, it's all handled." Su Hua nodded.
Lin Xuan held Su Hua's hand and walked toward Grandpa Jiang.
Grandpa Jiang was staring with wide eyes.
He looked at their intertwined hands with a face full of disbelief.
Lin Xuan, holding Su Hua's hand, walked right up to Grandpa Jiang.
"Grandpa, this is my girlfriend, Su Hua, and also the person I will spend the rest of my life with."
Grandpa Jiang's hand trembled as he pointed at them.
"You two, this, this, this, this..."
Grandpa Jiang thought he was seeing things and rubbed his eyes.
He looked again.
He wasn't seeing things!
Little Xuan was actually holding Su Hua's hand.
"You guys, this, this, this, this..." Grandpa Jiang looked as if he had been struck by lightning.
"Since when has this been going on?"
Lin Xuan looked at Su Hua, smiled, and said, "We've known each other for many years. Because of a misunderstanding, we were separated for a short while, and we only truly got together a little over two years ago."
Grandpa Jiang stood frozen in place, still in disbelief.
So.
His precious, good grandson had been snatched away early on by Old Man Su's granddaughter...
No wonder this Old Man Su was acting so calm.
Old Master Su said with a smile, "How about it, Old Man Jiang? Tell me, isn't my grandson-in-law the most outstanding man?"
"My granddaughter is truly amazing, snatching up such an outstanding person so early to be my grandson-in-law."
Grandpa Jiang was so angry that his chest heaved heavily.
He ground his teeth.
Damn it.
He really wanted to tear off this Old Man Su's smug face.
He was truly infuriated to death.
Infuriated to death!
Taking advantage of when Lin Xuan wasn't looking, Grandpa Jiang glared fiercely at Old Master Su.
Seeing Grandpa Jiang's appearance, Old Master Su felt incredibly happy in his heart.
"Old Man Jiang."
Old Master Su continued to say with a smile, "From now on, we are in-laws. We must take good care of each other."

for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side. I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?
transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”
