Lin Xuan could sense Old Master Su's thoughts and spoke up, "Grandpa Su, I'll go to the kitchen and make some dishes you like."
Lin Xuan was about to get up.
Old Master Su pressed him back into his seat. "No need for such trouble. I'll just eat something simple."
If Hua'er found out this child Xuan had specially cooked for him, she'd probably get jealous again.
And she might even worry about tiring Xuan out.
If she ended up forbidding this old man from visiting Night Garden in the future, that would be a real loss.
"Alright then."
Lin Xuan nodded.
Old Master Su ate a symbolic amount and then put down his chopsticks.
After the meal, the two sat together on the sofa in the living room, chatting.
Lin Xuan raised his left hand, glanced at his watch, and said, "Grandpa Su, I have an appointment with someone, I'm afraid I can't keep you company."
Old Master Su asked curiously, "Where to?"
Lin Xuan answered truthfully, "To the Jiang Family, to see Old Jiang for a medical consultation."
Old Master Su frowned. "The Old Jiang you mentioned, is it Jiang Liangjun from Jiang Corporation?"
"Yes, it's him." Lin Xuan nodded.
Old Master Su's mind began to turn.
That old man Jiang inviting Xuan to his home to treat his illness was one reason, but the biggest purpose was probably to get closer to Xuan, to make it easier to recognize Xuan as his grandson later on.
He should go today to see how they try to win Xuan over.
Old Master Su stroked his chin.
That old man Jiang used to be quite arrogant in front of him, always saying his precious granddaughter would end up alone forever.
Hmph.
And look at the result.
She had a boyfriend at twenty-four, and the couple was very loving.
Oh right, Hua'er's boyfriend is also that child Xuan.
Later, when that old man Jiang finds out his own biological grandson was whisked away early by his precious granddaughter, he'll be furious to death.
However, he didn't want Jiang to know about this just yet.
He'd wait until the old man Jiang recognized Xuan as his grandson first.
"Xuan, I happen to be quite bored at home, and I have some history with old man Jiang. We haven't seen each other since the Jiang Family's recognition banquet last time. This time, I'll go with you to the Jiang Family and catch up with old man Jiang."
Lin Xuan nodded. "Okay."
Having Grandpa Su along would actually make him feel less awkward.
Lin Xuan and Old Master Su headed to the Jiang Family together.
Jiang Family.
Jiang Yutong, wearing a jade-green dress, spun around in front of Jiang Manting.
She asked nervously, "Big sister, is there anything wrong with how I'm dressed?"
"Relax, there's no problem. It looks very nice, and it's decent and elegant."
Jiang Manting shook her head helplessly.
Just going to meet their own cousin, and Tongtong was paying this much attention to her appearance.
Anyone who didn't know would think she was going to meet a lover.
Come to think of it, Tongtong was good-looking; no matter how she dressed, she wouldn't look bad.
She really didn't need to worry about leaving a bad impression on Xuan with her appearance.
"That's good then."
Jiang Yutong breathed a sigh of relief.
"Tongtong, no need to be too nervous," Jiang Manting said. "Haven't we met Xuan many times already?"
Jiang Yutong glanced at Jiang Manting.
She was complaining inwardly.
Sister, you tell me not to be nervous, but how many cups of tea have you had since noon?
And you keep asking the servants if Xuan has arrived?
Also, your outfit clearly shows you got up early to dress up. This dress, I haven't seen you wear it before; it must be new.
Big sister says she's not nervous, but in reality, she's probably more nervous than anyone.
Grandpa Jiang was leaning back on the sofa, looking weak.
He said he was acting, but after waking up, he really didn't feel well, his head feeling heavy and dizzy.
However, he was worried his two granddaughters would fret, so he didn't tell them.
Even now, they still thought he was acting.
Jiang Manting looked at Grandpa Jiang's pale face and asked worriedly, "Grandpa, are you okay?"
A smile appeared on Grandpa Jiang's face. "What could be wrong with me? Isn't this just acting? If it's not convincing, will Xuan believe it?"
The less observant Jiang Yutong remarked, "I didn't expect Grandpa's acting to be so realistic. If I didn't know in advance that Grandpa was acting, I'd probably think he really had an attack."
Actually, the original plan was to have Xuan come earlier for Grandpa's follow-up treatment.
But Grandpa's health wasn't good.
And it hadn't been too long since the craniotomy; follow-up treatment couldn't start so quickly.
During this time, she and her big sister had been nursing Grandpa's health.
Now Grandpa's condition was clearly much better than before.
She hoped treatment could start this time.
Otherwise, if too much time passed, she was worried even Xuan might not be able to do much about Grandpa's illness.
Half an hour later.
Lin Xuan and Old Master Su arrived at the Jiang Family.
"Master, Eldest Miss, Second Miss."
A servant ran in to report.
He was just about to continue when Jiang Yutong couldn't wait and asked, "Is it Xuan? Has he arrived?"
The servants often heard Jiang Yutong mention Lin Xuan in the Jiang Family old residence, so they naturally knew who she meant by 'Xuan'.
The servant nodded. "Yes, and besides him, Old Master Su has also come."
Grandpa Jiang frowned.
Old Su?
What's he doing here?
Whenever he comes, it's never for anything good.
Jiang Yutong's voice carried a note of excitement. "Big sister, I'll go greet him."
"Mm."
Jiang Manting nodded.
Actually, she wanted to go too, but if she also went to greet him, it would seem too lacking in composure.
Jiang Yutong arrived at the entrance and saw Lin Xuan and Old Master Su approaching.
Jiang Yutong walked up to them warmly.
"Xuan, oh no, Mr. Lin, you're here."
"And, Grandpa, you are Old Master Su, my grandpa's friend, right? Hello, I'm Jiang Yutong."
Jiang Yutong nodded politely.
"Mm."
Old Master Su nodded.
A hint of appreciation showed in his eyes.
It had to be said, these Jiang Family children were all raised quite well by old man Jiang.
Of course, none of them were as outstanding as Hua'er.
Lin Xuan also didn't want to have too much involvement with the Jiang Family.
After all, he had that layer of blood relation with them. Too much involvement would likely make his ties with the Jiang Family even tighter.
Having experienced the Lin Family, he no longer wanted any entanglements with so-called family bonds.
Don't look at how well the Jiang Family treats him now; what about later?
He didn't want to be held back by these family ties.
Lin Xuan said, "Second Miss Jiang, where is Old Jiang?"
Jiang Yutong said, "He's waiting for you in the living room. I'll take you there."
Jiang Yutong led Lin Xuan and Old Master Su into the living room.
Lin Xuan saw Grandpa Jiang's pale face.
His brow furrowed tightly.
He had thought after this period of recuperation, Old Jiang's condition would be much better.
But now, it looked... not good...

So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too.
