He Already Has a Girlfriend

Old Master Su leisurely poured himself a cup of tea.

He just needed to sit back and enjoy the show now.

"Xiao Xuan," Grandpa Jiang said, "I want to talk to you about my history with Jiang Shuqin."

Lin Xuan frowned slightly.

Grandpa Jiang continued, "I don't know if you've already found out, but Jiang Shuqin was once a beloved daughter in our family. However, she took a liking to Lin Chang. We could see that Lin Chang was not a good match and tried our best to stop her. Later, seeing her devotion to him, we were prepared to agree to let them be together, thinking that with the Jiang Family's protection, Lin Chang wouldn't dare mistreat Jiang Shuqin."

"Right at that time, our company encountered a severe crisis. Worried the Jiang Family might go bankrupt, Lin Chang used his own company's troubles as a pretext to trick Jiang Shuqin into stealing all the money we had borrowed. When we discovered it, Jiang Shuqin was willing to cut ties with us just to give that money to Lin Chang."

So much time had passed that Grandpa Jiang, his heart thoroughly broken by Jiang Shuqin, could now speak of these things calmly.

Yet, when he mentioned his wife, Grandpa Jiang's eyes grew red.

His voice slightly hoarse, he said, "My wife, because of this incident, was so overcome with anger and worry that she passed away."

"After that, I never paid any attention to Jiang Shuqin's affairs again, and she never came looking for us either."

This was the first time Lin Xuan had heard such a detailed account of how Jiang Shuqin left the Jiang Family.

It seemed her ruthlessness was innate; the only person she ever considered was herself.

"Child," Grandpa Jiang grasped Lin Xuan's hand, "I am truly sorry. I had no idea Jiang Shuqin would treat her own child this way."

Grandpa Jiang's eyes grew slightly moist.

"If I had known you were living such a life with the Lin Family, I would have brought you to the Jiang Family without a doubt."

Grandpa Jiang simply couldn't understand how Jiang Shuqin could bear to treat such a sensible son like this...

Lin Xuan listened to all of this with perfect calm.

If the Jiang Family had known, they probably would have done just that.

But it didn't matter anymore.

Grandpa Jiang wiped the tears from his eyes and continued, "Xiao Xuan, I know saying all this now is like being wise after the event. But, Xiao Xuan, our Jiang Family can be considered influential and powerful. You can treat the Jiang Family as your backing. If you ever need any help, please don't hesitate to come to me, or Tongtong, or Tingting."

Old Master Su chimed in, "Xiao Xuan, you can come to me or my good granddaughter for help. No need to trouble Old Jiang. My Su Family's power and wealth are no less than the Jiang Family's."

Grandpa Jiang glared at Old Master Su.

He was talking to Xiao Xuan, what was this Old Su interrupting for?

Old Master Su noticed Grandpa Jiang's look.

He raised an eyebrow and said with a smile, "Old Jiang, it's perfectly normal for Xiao Xuan to seek my help. Even though you share a blood relation, Xiao Xuan doesn't want to acknowledge you. My relationship with Xiao Xuan is much closer than yours."

Xiao Xuan was his future grandson-in-law, after all.

Wasn't that relationship extremely close?

Grandpa Jiang took a deep breath.

Xiao Xuan was here; he'd better not argue with Old Su. It wouldn't be good if Xiao Xuan thought he was difficult to get along with.

"Xiao Xuan, what is your relationship with Old Su?" Grandpa Jiang couldn't help but ask again.

Lin Xuan replied, "I have always regarded him as my own grandfather."

Grandpa Jiang felt a pang of jealousy.

His own grandfather... he hadn't realized their relationship was that good. No wonder his attitude towards Old Su was so affectionate, while towards him, it was cold and distant.

Sigh.

Who knew when this child Xiao Xuan would become as close to him as he was to Old Su.

Wait!

He was Xiao Xuan's biological maternal grandfather. Xiao Xuan should be closer to him than to Old Su.

Grandpa Jiang took another deep breath and continued, "Xiao Xuan, although I have severed ties with your mother, you are a sensible, good child, and you saved my life."

"I sincerely want to acknowledge you as my grandson. Tongtong and Tingting both like you very much too. How about you give it some more careful consideration?"

Lin Xuan refused without a second thought. "I'm truly sorry, but I have no intention of acknowledging any relatives."

The actions of his biological parents and sister had long since forged a heart of stone within him.

He had long lost any expectation for so-called family bonds.

If you didn't care about these bonds, they couldn't hurt you.

"Alright then."

Grandpa Jiang sighed. "If you don't want to, I won't force you. Just remember, Xiao Xuan, whenever you want, you can acknowledge me as your grandfather at any time."

"And also, I hope you won't refuse the Jiang Family's goodwill towards you."

He genuinely felt for this child, Xiao Xuan.

Xiao Xuan had suffered too much in the past.

He desperately wanted to be good to Xiao Xuan.

It seemed, however, that Xiao Xuan didn't really need this familial affection...

He wanted to be good to Xiao Xuan, but Xiao Xuan had money, and Xiao Xuan wasn't facing any difficulties. He simply didn't know where to start.

Got it!

Grandpa Jiang's eyes lit up as he spoke. "Xiao Xuan, you're not young anymore. How about I introduce you to some young women with good character, good family background, and good looks?"

His grandson was so outstanding; he must find him a woman with no shortcomings in any aspect.

Though, it seemed there weren't too many who met all the conditions...

A figure popped into Grandpa Jiang's mind.

That was Su Hua.

The Hua girl was quite fitting, but Old Su said she already had a boyfriend. Moreover, Su Hua had a very cold temperament and wouldn't easily take a liking to a man.

Also, if Su Hua really ended up with Xiao Xuan, this Old Su would never stop gloating in front of him.

Hearing Grandpa Jiang's words, Old Master Su immediately became alert.

He glared at Grandpa Jiang, looking wary.

"Old Jiang, Xiao Xuan already has a girlfriend. Are you trying to break them up by introducing other women to him?"

All these years, his good granddaughter had only ever liked this one man, Xiao Xuan.

If they ended up separating, his granddaughter might very well remain alone for the rest of her life.

Furthermore, he was very satisfied with Xiao Xuan. If he missed out on Xiao Xuan as a grandson-in-law, he'd probably never find another one to his liking.

Therefore, he absolutely would not allow anything to exist that could damage the relationship between Xiao Xuan and Hua'er!

Old Master Su snorted. "Xiao Xuan hasn't even been acknowledged by your family yet, and you're already thinking of meddling in his marriage. If Xiao Xuan did return, who knows how much you'd try to control him."

Grandpa Jiang frowned. "He has a girlfriend?"

Jiang Manting said, "Grandpa, Tongtong told me about Xiao Xuan's girlfriend. They have a very good relationship."
