Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Inside the Jian Residence, Grandpa Jian and Grandma Jian were watering the flowers and feeding the fish in the courtyard.
At this mont, one of their maids ca in to report that there was a foreigner requesting to et Grandma Jian.
Requesting to et her?
Grandma Jian and Grandpa Jian looked at each other.
Generally speaking, usually people ca to see Grandpa Jian. Rarely, people would request to see Grandma Jian.
“A foreigner… Would it be…” Grandpa Jian said as he frowned.
So many years had passed. They assud that no one would co to look for them anymore.
“Let’s go and see.”
When Grandpa Jian and Grandma Jian arrived in the living room, there was an elderly man seated on a mahogany chair.
“Hello Madam Xie,” Elder George bowed.
Madam Xie… It had been a long ti since anyone had called her that.
Ever since she got married to Grandpa Jian, everyone else addressed her as ‘Grandma Jian’ or ‘Ms. Jian’.
“Who are you?” Grandma Jian asked as she took her seat. She sized up the old man in front of her.
“I’m George Goodman.”
“Why is soone from the Goodman family requesting to speak to ?”
“You’re too polite Madam Xie. After all, who doesn’t know about the Xie family that reigned over Continent M half a century ago?”
George revealed Grandma Jian’s identity with one sentence.
The Xie family was a large family that was not very well known in China. However, in the last century, it was considered a powerful family overseas.
The ancestors of the Xie family were officials of feudal affairs. Two centuries ago, the ancestors of the Xie family headed over to the South Pacific. They beca one of the most prominent families there.
Furthermore, in the gold rush period in Continent M, the Xie family took root and began to develop the mining industry.
During the rise of finance and economics, they went into that industry too.
Very soon, their family reigned over Continent M.
At their height, even the Goodman family had to treat the Xie family respectfully.
However, in the middle of the last century, the Xie family suddenly withdrew all their money from Continent M. Soon after, they disappeared into thin air. It was as though they never existed.
And Grandma Jian was one of the last mbers of the Xie family.
In the entire Jian family, only Grandpa Jian knew about this. Grandma Jian never ntioned this to any of her children or grandchildren.
As the elder of the Goodman family, when George was young, he had t a few mbers of the Xie family.
Grandma Jian said with a smile: “Mr. George, as you said, that was last century. It’s already been half a century. The Xie family has long fallen. As such, why are you here to speak to ?”
“One of our family elders who went missing for many years handed our family compass to your granddaughter, Miss Jian Yiling.”
“Well, then you should go and speak to my granddaughter. That compass belongs to her. I don’t get a say in this. If she wants to give it or sell it to you, that’s her business. I don’t make decisions for her.”
“I’m not here to ask Madam Xie for the family compass.”
“If you’re not here for that, why are you here then?”
“After I learned that he gave the compass to Miss Jian Yiling, I looked into Miss Jian Yiling’s identity and background. In other words, I’m hoping to find out the reason why he gave it to her.”
“And so, you’re here to ask ?” Grandma Jian replied with an elegant and calm smile on her face.
“Yeah. After all, she’s your granddaughter. And you’re the last of the Xie family. The Xie family is the only one who has the key to the secret of our family compass.”
“I don’t know the key to your family compass,” Grandma Jian replied.. She instantly dismissed Elder George’s words.
