Chapter 836 - 784: Did You and Qin Fan Do That?

Looking at the old walls, stained with colorful patches.

All the memories in Jiang Yino’s grandmother’s mind were those fragments from the past.

All at once, memories poured down like a torrential rain.

Those years, how wonderful.

Those years, how happy.

Has the world changed people’s hearts?

Or have people changed the rules of this world?

She couldn’t tell.

Thinking about the changes in her children’s personalities.

Two streams of muddled, old tears uncontrollably gushed from her eyes!

Claiming that she had long been heartbroken, claiming she was disappointed, claiming she no longer cared.

But when the rush of memories came, she still couldn’t control the truest voice in her heart.

No matter what, she was their mother.

No matter what, she was their grandmother!

How can any mother be truly indifferent to her children!

"If only I could go back in time, how wonderful that would be!"

Reaching out her hands to wipe her tear-filled eyes, removing the traces of tears, Jiang Yino’s grandmother muttered to herself.

"Blinded by the desire for money, even if you go back, what difference does it make? The same point will lead to the same trajectory! While mountains can change, one’s nature is hard to alter! Grandma, I understand your resentment and unwillingness, but each of the nine sons of the dragon is different—there’s Jiang uncle’s filial piety, there’s Yinuo’s sensibility, that’s enough!"

Qin Fan lightly shook his head, raising his arm to support Jiang Yino’s grandmother as he said softly.

"Hmm, little Fan, Grandma understands, Grandma’s alright! Let’s go upstairs! Over the years with Yinuo’s grandpa, Grandma also learned the art of tea-making, don’t look at Grandma’s hands shaking with age, but brewing kung fu tea is no problem! Let’s go!"

Sniffing slightly, she caught hold of her emotions.

Jiang Yino’s grandmother forced a smile.

In such conversations, as the son, daughter-in-law, and granddaughter, Jiang Yino’s family of three had nothing to comment.

They only gave a bitter, sad smile and walked into the building.

How could they want the family to end up like this?

How could they not hope for harmony and warmth between each other?

However, these are not choices they can make.

"Hey, madam, who is this handsome young man?"

"Haha, guess!"

"Hey, madam, why are you dressed so happily today?"

"Haha, guess!"

"Ah, Yinuo is back!"

"Darling granddaughter missed me! So she came back to see me!"

"Madam, who’s this handsome young lad, could he be Yinuo’s boyfriend? Haha!"

"Haha, guess!"

The Jiang family lived on a low floor, the third floor.

But as they walked up, everyone who saw the madam greeted her warmly.

And the old lady’s answers were mostly the same, just a cheerful ’you guess!’

As a seasoned character, Qin Fan naturally wouldn’t feel shy.

Nodding and smiling at those who greeted him, he followed Jiang Yuan’s lead, entering through the familiar Jiang family’s door.

Looking at the furnishings, which weren’t much different from what he remembered in his past life, upon entering, Qin Fan was also flooded with memories of those past times.

In his previous life, he visited the Jiang family only after half a year of confirming his relationship with Jiang Yino; however, by then, Jiang Yino’s grandmother was no longer around, and Jiang Yuan’s family had already distanced themselves from the siblings. Even regarding the old house’s affairs, Yino hadn’t mentioned much to him about those relatives.

But thinking back, even if she had mentioned it, what of it?

Back then, Qin Fan, even if aware, could do nothing but be looked down upon even more by those relatives.

"Little Fan, why idle? Just treat it as your home! Come, sit down. Ah Yuan, go wash the tea set, I, the old lady, will give a demonstration today, have some tea, and help with digestion!"

Pulling Qin Fan onto the fabric sofa, Jiang Yino’s grandmother seemed unaffected by the earlier happenings, laughing heartily.

"Mom, I’ll go!" Without waiting for Jiang Yuan to reply, Jiang Yino’s mother quickly laughed and responded.

With that, she picked up the tea set from the tea table and headed to the kitchen.

"Grandma, Dad, you chat with Qin Fan first, I’ll help Mom in the kitchen!"

Beside them, Jiang Yino smiled and said, rushing towards the kitchen.

"This child is shy, haha!" Grandma shook her head with a smile and sighed.

With that said.

She adjusted her sitting posture, turned to Qin Fan, and said, "Little Fan, I have a few questions to ask you, and you must answer honestly!"

"Absolutely!" Qin Fan replied, smiling openly.

"Have your parents met Yinuo?" Asking this, Jiang Yino’s grandmother couldn’t help but feel nervous.

If Qin Fan were from a regular family, she wouldn’t be this tense.

But Lin Wending’s introduction made the old lady worry about this question.

The saying that entering a wealthy family is like entering the deep sea is not without reason.

At her age, she’s seen too many examples of pain and suffering beneath the surface’s glitz and glamor.

Wealthy households are not easy to get into, and even if you enter them, they’re not easy to stay in.

Family matching is, most of the time, the world’s standard.

At least in the eyes of most parents, they care about each other’s household.

"Grandma, before answering your question, I want to say I’m sorry. I’ve been a bit selfish!" Qin Fan took a breath and replied earnestly.

Old eyebrows gathered.

Jiang Yino’s grandmother’s lips twitched slightly, as she asked, "Why?"

"During New Year’s, Yinuo originally wanted to come home! It was I who insisted she come to Jiangzhou, delaying your reunion! Had I known how much you yearned for her, during New Year’s I should’ve let her stay in Shanghai with you!" Qin Fan explained.

"Haha, is this what you call selfish? Never mind, never mind, she’s back now, and she brought you along, I’m satisfied, satisfied! Now tell me, how do your family view Yinuo? You must answer this question truthfully, you must!" Her earlier cheerfulness became extremely serious in the end.

Even Jiang Yuan furrowed his brow, eager to hear Qin Fan’s answer.

"Yinuo is very popular with my parents! Their affection for her even makes me question my existence, makes me wonder if I’m their biological child! During those few days, Yinuo spent more time with them than I did! Grandma, Uncle Jiang, I know what you’re thinking, but your concerns are unfounded. My parents aren’t those who care about family background. Just like you, they only want their children’s happiness, that’s all!"

"That’s good, that’s good! Come, tell Grandma and Uncle Jiang about your story with Yinuo!" Jiang Yino’s grandmother sighed in relief, lightly patting Qin Fan’s leg with a laugh.

While laughter and cheerful conversations resounded outside.

Inside the kitchen.

When Jiang Yino just walked in, Zhou Shufen pulled her close.

Her face showing a hint of seriousness.

"Mom, what’s the matter?" Jiang Yino asked, puzzled.

"Yinuo, honestly tell Mom, have you and little Fan... you know?" Zhou Shufen whispered.

"You know what?" Momentarily unresponsive, Jiang Yino was bewildered.

"Mom’s experienced, I’ve been closely observing you! Have you... have you already shared a room with little Fan?" Zhou Shufen bit her lip, extremely nervous.

In her heart, she was almost certain, but still, she didn’t want to face the truth, wanting to hear the answer from Jiang Yino.

Even if Jiang Yino were to say no, it would allow her a comforting self-deception.
