The old lady had a weak stomach and couldn’t drink cold water. She cleaned the kettle, poured water into it, and searched through the cabinets to find a bag of black tea.
After the water boiled, she brewed a cup of black tea with hot water and brought it over, "Grandma, the tea is a bit hot. Warm your hands first."
Madam Fu took the teacup, "Okay, okay."
Jiang Nuan looked at the shabby tea bag, raising her eyes with embarrassnt, "This is the only tea in the hotel. Grandma, please make do with it. If it really doesn’t work, I’ll order a pack on ituan."
"No need." Madam Fu took a sip and smiled, "The taste isn’t bad."
"Uh." Jiang Nuan knew that she ca from a prestigious family, grew up in luxury, and later married into the Fu family, where Grandpa spoiled her into the epito of an upper-class wife. It’s unlikely she truly thought the hotel’s cheap tea tasted good, she was just comforting herself.
"Grandma, have you had dinner? How about we go down for a al later? What do you want to eat? My treat."
The hotel had only these conditions, and it would take at least half an hour to have a tea bag delivered. Thinking it over, this was the only way she could make up for her guilty conscience.
Madam Fu took another sip of tea, looking at her with loving eyes, "Can I eat whatever I want?"
Jiang Nuan had earned quite a bit of money abroad and saved it. She nodded imdiately, "Of course, anything is okay. What does Grandma want to eat?"
Madam Fu imdiately said with a sigh, "I want a reunion dinner."
"..."
"You’ve been studying abroad for five years, and haven’t been ho for five years as well. That brat Fu Yi wouldn’t let find you. I haven’t had a harmonious family dinner with my grandson and granddaughter-in-law for a long ti. I don’t want to eat anything else, just a reunion dinner, Nuannuan, can I?"
Jiang Nuan was montarily speechless, her hands held by the old lady’s dry hands, her heart in a turmoil, not knowing how to explain to her.
After much hesitation, she finally squeezed out a sentence, "Fu... doesn’t know if he’s ho."
Madam Fu, who had eaten more salt than the couple had eaten rice, imdiately cut off her excuse, "Fu Yi is at ho. I specifically told him not to schedule any social engagents tonight, to stay ho and eat with his wife."
"Grandma, I..."
Holding Jiang Nuan’s hand, Madam Fu, with her white hair and a face marked by ti, spoke, "Nuannuan, consider it as a favor to Grandma, don’t be mad at Fu Yi anymore. He’s just not good at expressing his feelings. He really cares about you. I can tell he likes you. You’ve been separated for five years, no matter how big the anger, it should have cooled down. Go ho for a al with Grandma, okay?"
...
Jiang Nuan didn’t know how she got into the car, but it drove all the way back to Jinyuan.
The carved iron gates opened, and she still felt a sense of surreal disbelief.
There are several wealthy districts in Capital City, and Jinyuan is not in the city center. Its location is relatively remote, but the garden-style architecture is as beautiful as a painting. As a century-old mansion, Jinyuan is more than just a place to live; for many, it’s also a symbol of Capital City.
Jinyuan has dedicated security, and most vehicles can’t get close.
She was in Madam Fu’s car, which drove unobstructed, reaching the destination in less than an hour.
"Nuannuan, co, hold Grandma’s hand. Grandma will take you ho." Old Madam Fu got out of the car first, extending her hand and speaking warmly towards her inside the car.
She only found out when the brat called her today that he actually secretly gave Nuannuan a divorce agreent, no wonder Nuannuan left for five years without coming back. She scolded him thoroughly, and he said nothing, just asked her to bring her back for a al. Aye, it’s pitiful that at her age, she still has to work hard to reconcile his marriage for him...
