"Alright, no problem," was Old Master Su's thought.
This Old Man Jiang definitely wants to wait until next time, when he's not around, to continue getting closer to Little Xuan.
Hehe, Old Man Jiang's little scheme is probably going to fail this time.
"Grandpa Su, are you going back to the old mansion or to Night Garden?" Lin Xuan asked.
Old Master Su replied, "Back to the old mansion."
In just over an hour, his granddaughter should be back.
If she sees he's still at Night Garden, talking with Little Xuan, she'll probably get jealous again.
"Okay."
Lin Xuan nodded.
He instructed the driver, "Go to the Su family old mansion first, then make a stop at the supermarket later."
"Little Xuan, why are you going to the supermarket?" Old Master Su asked curiously.
Lin Xuan answered, "To buy some groceries."
"Little Xuan, are you going to cook again?" Old Master Su turned sharply to look at Lin Xuan.
"Yes," Lin Xuan nodded. "I want to make a meal for Hua with my own hands."
The old master swallowed.
He suddenly changed his mind. "Little Xuan, it just occurred to me that I don't really have anything to do back at the old mansion. How about I go back to Night Garden with you instead? I can see Hua'er while I'm at it."
The butler from the old mansion, sitting in the passenger seat, rolled his eyes dramatically.
Master, are you sure it's to see the young lady, and not to mooch a meal?
Meanwhile, at the Jiang family villa.
Grandpa Jiang felt a throbbing pulse at his temples.
What's going on?
Why does he have this terribly bad feeling?
Jiang Yutong asked, "Grandpa, how did your chat with Little Xuan go?"
"Quite ordinary," Grandpa Jiang said, pressing his wildly throbbing temples and sighing. "I still haven't found a way to get closer to him, and I can tell Little Xuan really doesn't want to acknowledge us."
He could understand why Little Xuan didn't want to acknowledge them.
Little Xuan's experiences with the Lin family had worn away his expectations of familial love.
And they had already cut ties with Jiang Shuqin, having had no part in Little Xuan's past life.
Now that Little Xuan is doing well, they come looking for him. It's normal that he doesn't acknowledge them.
He almost wished Little Xuan was greedy for money or power; at least then he might acknowledge them.
But Little Xuan just isn't that kind of person.
Jiang Yutong's face fell with disappointment. She said gloomily, "When I spent time with Little Xuan before, he also deliberately kept his distance from me. Grandpa, what should we do to get him to recognize us?"
"Ah," Old Master Su sighed. "We can only take it one step at a time. I don't have any other ideas. It's possible we may never be able to get Little Xuan back."
The mood in the Jiang household was rather somber.
Lin Xuan and Old Master Su finished buying groceries and returned to Night Garden.
Old Master Su sat down in the dining room.
Lin Xuan was inside preparing the meal.
The enticing aromas wafted from the kitchen.
Old Master Su waited impatiently.
Butler Wang, watching Old Master Su, shook his head.
If the young lady came back and saw Old Master Su here, she would definitely be in a bad mood.
Just as Lin Xuan was finishing the last dish in the kitchen, Su Hua returned from the company.
Entering the living room and not seeing Lin Xuan, she frowned and asked a servant, "Where's Xuan?"
"Reporting to Miss," the servant answered respectfully. "Young Master Lin is cooking in the kitchen."
"I see."
Su Hua's delicate brows furrowed slightly.
Why is Xuan cooking again?
Although she loves eating food Xuan makes himself, cooking is too tiring. She doesn't want him in the kitchen.
Su Hua walked straight towards the kitchen.
A dining room connected the kitchen and the living room.
To get to the kitchen, one had to pass through the dining room.
As soon as Su Hua opened the dining room door, she saw Old Master Su, chopsticks in hand, already seated at the dining table waiting.
"Hua'er."
Old Master Su raised his hand, greeting Su Hua warmly.
Su Hua's expression instantly darkened.
Grandpa, what is he doing here?
Pursing her lips, Su Hua sat down at the dining table without a word.
It was very clear she was not welcoming Old Master Su's visit.
Old Master Su rubbed his nose.
Great.
He's disturbing Hua'er and Little Xuan's time alone together, and Hua'er is unhappy again.
"Sigh."
Old Master Su sighed and said, "It's true what they say, once you have a boyfriend, you forget your grandpa."
"Oh, my heart aches."
Old Master Su clutched his chest, pretending to be in pain.
These words clearly reached Su Hua's ears. Sitting at the table, her face remained expressionless, completely unmoved by Old Master Su's performance.
Seeing Su Hua's reaction made Old Master Su feel even more disheartened.
Other granddaughters are like little cotton-padded jackets, warm and cozy. His? This little jacket is full of holes, letting the cold in.
"Hua'er, Little Xuan and I went to the Jiang family today," Old Master Su brought up the main matter.
Su Hua frowned. "Why did you and Xuan go to the Jiang family?"
"To treat Old Man Jiang's illness," Old Master Su replied.
Speaking of which, Little Xuan's medical skills are truly remarkable.
They had invited many internationally renowned medical experts for Old Man Jiang's condition, but none of them could do anything.
All they could do was slow the progression. Who would have thought Little Xuan could actually cure him?
Su Hua's red lips curved into a smile.
Going to treat Old Man Jiang... It seems Xuan is most likely the wandering physician of the Golden Dragon Gang.
"Hua'er, starting from now, Little Xuan will go to the Jiang family every weekend to treat Old Man Jiang. It will last a year, maybe as little as half a year."
Su Hua's brows knitted together.
Old Master Su continued, "Hua'er, the Jiang family has been plotting to get Little Xuan to recognize them and return to the Jiang family all along."
"Since you two aren't married yet, the Jiang family might even try to take Little Xuan back to live with them."
"And Hua'er, you know our Su family and the Jiang family don't get along. If they find out Little Xuan's girlfriend is you, they might try to stop you from being together. So, you and Little Xuan need to hurry up and get married."
"If you still don't want to get married, that's fine too. Then have a child. With a child, you can tie Little Xuan down."
The part about the Jiang and Su families not getting along was false.
His real purpose in saying all this was to urge the two of them to either get married or have a child.
They've been together for almost two years now, and Hua'er still hasn't given him a great-grandchild to hold. It's been worrying him to death.
Su Hua pressed her lips together tightly.
She couldn't accept either of the options her grandfather mentioned.
It seems she needs to find time to deal with Su Sheng and the other members of the Su family.
Once she eliminates the dangers around her and ensures no one can harm Xuan,
then she can be open and aboveboard with Xuan.
As for a child... She absolutely cannot have one so soon.
A child would take away Xuan's love. She absolutely cannot allow that to happen.
The hostility in Su Hua's gaze towards Old Master Su lessened somewhat.
