Chu Fengteng finally breathed a sigh of relief when she accepted his token!
He had constantly worried that Aunt Xiaoxing might refuse the Jade Token due to her integrity and noble character.
Frankly speaking, she did not know how much faith the Chu family placed in her being one of them?
It was not just an investnt of fifty million, but also their pride in continuing the tradition of Chinese dicine!
It was seeing an excellent heritage decline without being able to open their mouths or lift their heads...
It was the enormous mountain they desperately wanted to surmount, yet felt powerless to do so!
In their dark and groping stage, Aunt Xiaoxing’s words constantly echoed in their ears, accompanying their progress. For the Chu family, she was like a deity illuminating the path ahead, the direction of their efforts.
If she had refused the Jade Token, Chu Fengteng would have felt as though his beliefs were collapsing.
That sensation would have been like—you saved , and I held out all my precious treasures before you, but you coldly shook your head without wanting a single one... You may have been benevolent without seeking repaynt, but I would have thought that what I offered did not et your standards.
No one wants to be useless! Everyone wants to repay those who have helped them!
Old Master Yan understood the Chu family’s heart very well, so he had advised Yueqing not to reject the token of their gratitude and to politely accept the Jade Token.
Chu Fengteng bowed deeply to Aunt Xiaoxing, and then, he made a point of bowing to the old master as well.
The old master beca increasingly fond of the handso and elegant youth, waving him over to his side, "The young lad from the Chu family has grown up quite well! What’s your na? How old are you this year?"
"My na is Fengteng."
"Fengteng? A robust little vine growing in the wind?" Old Master Yan nodded in satisfaction, "A good na!"
Chu Fengteng was startled for a mont, "Grandfather... Fengteng is the na of a dicinal herb."
Their family ca from a line of traditional Chinese dicine practitioners, and their nas were generally chosen from dicinal herbs. His na was Fengteng and his sister’s na was Nan Xing, both of which were good dicinal herbs.
Old Master Yan was suddenly at a loss: Ah, this...
Chu Fengteng seed to notice Old Master Yan’s embarrassnt and hurriedly said, "But grandfather’s interpretation has its own significance! A little vine growing against the wind... it fits well with my father’s expectations for to go against the current and revive Chinese dicine!"
Qiming listened, dumbstruck!
Are you sure this kid studied Chinese dicine and not psychology?! His little mouth is way too eloquent, right?!
As expected, the old master was extrely pleased, saying joyfully, "Good child! However, you should not call grandfather~ I am your Aunt Xiaoxing’s grandfather, so you should call Great-grandfather."
There, there, there—I misunderstood the aning of your na, and you called by the wrong title!
Let’s call it even, shall we~
Yueqing watched her grandfather behave like an old imp and couldn’t help but smile, "Let do the introductions! This young man is the young boss of the Food Supplent Shop, Chu Fengteng. Fengteng, this is my great-grandfather, and you should address him as such! Next to him are Uncle Lin and Aunt Du~ The several younger friends are all younger than you, so you can just call them brother or sister."
Tang Tang was the most enthusiastic, "My na is Tang Tang~ Brother Fengteng can call Tang Bao."
Song Xiaoyu was shy and reserved, "My na is Xiaoyu."
Yan Wang was indifferent, "You can call Xiao Wang."
Only Jun Yan was different, "Call Young Master Yan!"
Hmph! Who is this brat who suddenly cozied up to godmother?!
It’s one thing for Xiao Wang to be godmother’s own son, but where did this Chu Fengteng crawl out from?
A re Food Supplent Shop, and he thinks he can catch godmother’s special attention?!
And that Jade Token!
The Jun family has plenty of restaurants and quality Jade Tokens! I might as well give them all to godmother!
I’ve put in so much effort just to barely gain so recognition, and I’m still covertly competing with Yan Wang for importance!
That stinky boy from the Chu family, relying on being older, if he also wants to recognize a godmother, I’ll be the first to disagree.
Jun Yan’s face fell, as cold and distant as when we first t, rejecting people from a thousand miles away.
He didn’t want to communicate or talk!
Yan Yueqing looked at her son strangely. What’s wrong? Why so much resentnt all of a sudden?
Yan Wang glanced at his brother, the corners of his lips suddenly lifting.
Exciting!
Old Master Yan broke the tense atmosphere with a chuckle, "Fengteng, now that you’re in C city, you should co to Jiang Garden often! Treat the Yan family like your own ho."
Jun Yan: Wuu wuu wuu Great-grandfather, can you not be so polite!
Chu Fengteng, of course, was willing to spend more ti with Aunt Xiaoxing, and readily agreed, "As long as Great-grandfather doesn’t mind, I’d like to pay you a visit."
"Mind? Not at all!" Old Master Yan took off in joy, "This pork knuckle from the Food Supplent Shop is really delicious!"
Chu Fengteng understood imdiately, "This dish has been marinated with dicinal herbs to remove grease and gay taste, satisfies cravings while also nourishing the spleen and stomach. If Great-grandfather likes it, I can write down the secret recipe for this dish, so the family chef can make it as well!"
"Since it’s a secret recipe, how could Great-grandfather have the nerve to ask for it?"
Chu Fengteng didn’t mind, "If Great-grandfather likes it, it would be this dish’s honor. If it weren’t for takeout affecting its taste and flavor, Fengteng would be willing to have the chef prepare it daily and send it to Great-grandfather."
"Hahaha!" Old Master Yan was in high spirits, "You give Great-grandfather a secret recipe, and Great-grandfather has a gift for you too! Fengteng, are you free this afternoon? How about staying a few days at Jiang Garden with Great-grandfather?"
Jun Yan: Ahhh, nooooo!!!
But Chu Fengteng replied in a second, "Thank you, Great-grandfather, I would not impose so much!"
"This child, he speaks so elegantly and with such erudition," Old Master Yan couldn’t be more satisfied with him.
In fact, inviting Chu Fengteng back to Jiang Garden wasn’t just because of the pork knuckle.
Wangwang’s illness has not been improving; despite several years of treatnt by Western dicine, there hasn’t been any significant recovery.
Since Chu Fengteng cos from a family of traditional dicine, they must know quite a few masters. Getting along well with the little one and arranging for a traditional dicine practitioner to take a look is the sensible thing to do!
And his frail granddaughter... so light, just over ninety pounds?!
How did that fake manage to ruin Yueqing’s health in the entertainnt industry? Did he starve her stomach into having issues? Are there any lingering hidden illnesses? These all need to be properly addressed by a traditional dicine specialist.
Old Master Yan had been planning to ask his friends for a recomndation, but before he could even doze off, soone brought him a pillow.
The appearance of the Chu family was such a fateful encounter!
So, amidst their harmonious chatter, the al was consud with great enjoynt, leaving both hosts and guests thoroughly pleased.
After the al, the party took three cars back to Jiang Garden.
Yan Yueqing noticed during the al that Yan Bao was not in a good mood. After telling Steward Yan to arrange a courtyard for Fengteng, she hurriedly chased after Yan Bao.
The little one was moving at a swift pace, practically flying.
Yan Yueqing had to jog to catch up to the entrance of the courtyard, just in ti to see that solitary black figure.
"Yan Bao!" she called out.
Jun Yan paused, struggling to maintain a calm expression, and turned around: "Godmother."
