Jin Yu clicked his tongue, “Whether it counts as a work injury or not, I don’t know, but you getting a vacation because of it is definitely true.”
On hearing this, Jin Ruiyang’s thin lips broke into a smile, well that’s good news.

On another day without Jin Yu, Xu Niannian discussed so specifics with Zhou Dinghua before asking the Jin Family’s driver to take her to Xu Wentian’s place.
At the mont, the old lady was playing chess with Xu Wentian.
Ever since she “advised” Xu Wentian on the train, she’d believed her chess skills to be quite superb.
So, when they had nothing better to do, the old couple would play chess.
Xu Wentian indulged her, teaching her while smiling fondly as he watched her play.
But their conversation went like this, “Hey, old man, where would be a good place to put this piece?”
Xu Wentian pointed to a spot, and the old lady quickly placed her piece there, then asked, “Where would you move to lose?”
Xu Wentian pointed to another location, and the old lady stared at that spot, pondering for several minutes.
Finally, with utter seriousness, she told Xu Wentian, “Fine, then put yours there.”
Xu Niannian entered the yard, and no sooner had she approached than she heard this exchange.
The butler recognized the Jin Family’s driver, and at first he thought Elder Master Jin had co over again.
But he didn’t expect it to be a girl who got out of the car.
The girl had just stepped out when the butler recognized her as the girl who had bumped into Miss Zuo Qing that day.
Because she bore such a striking resemblance to Xu Wentian, and had deliberately co here, knowing Xu Wentian had ntioned he had another granddaughter in the capital, who was Elder Master Jin’s grandson’s wife,
the butler imdiately identified Xu Niannian’s identity as Xu Wentian’s eldest granddaughter the mont she got out of the car.
After all the twists and turns, it turned out the girl really was the old master’s granddaughter.
While the butler marveled at this, he also found it astonishing.
He had t the girl earlier than the old master and had guessed she was his granddaughter sooner.
Initially, they’d spent over half a month in the capital searching for this girl, thinking she couldn’t be found.
But to his surprise, the old master had found her first.
“Grandma, Grandpa,” Xu Niannian called out softly with a tender voice.
On hearing the voice of her precious eldest granddaughter, the old lady got so excited that she scattered the chess pieces all over the board.
She imdiately stood up and ran towards Xu Niannian, saying as she approached, “Oh my, my eldest granddaughter, you finally ca to visit .
I was worried you’d forgotten about since you didn’t show up all of yesterday.”
Although the old lady was hale and hearty, the sight of her sprinting over made Xu Niannian anxious every ti.
She quickly ran over to support the old lady, laughing, “Grandma, don’t run too fast.”
Xu Wentian was also delighted to see his granddaughter.
He was just telling his dear old lady that he’d go over to Elder Master Jin’s soon to check how his eldest granddaughter was fitting in there.
If she wasn’t adjusting well, he’d bring her back to live with them.
After all, they had plenty of rooms in their ho.
“Grandpa,” Xu Niannian called out with a smile.
“Eh, my dear,” Xu Wentian said with a kindly smile.
Not seeing Xu Sisi around, Xu Niannian asked, “Grandma, where’s Sisi?”
“Ah, that Black Girl is still sleeping in, probably too excited to fall asleep last night,” the old lady replied.
Now that Xu Niannian was here, the old lady naturally wanted to show her around the house.
Since Xu Niannian would be living in the capital from now on, Xu Wentian had the butler prepare a room for Xu Sisi and also tidy up a room for Xu Niannian.
The old lady took Xu Niannian on a tour and declared, “In the future, you can stay wherever you want.”
“Okay, I’ll co over to be with Grandma more often,” Xu Niannian said dutifully.
Xu Wentian now was following Gao Lihong’s lead on most things, usually going along with whatever she said.
Given how close they lived, Xu Niannian would surely co often to keep her grandparents company.
The old lady doted on her as if she were a precious treasure; how could Xu Niannian not co to visit her?
And Xu Wentian was very fond of her too.
Perhaps he felt that he had failed them by not being there for so many years, and so Xu Wentian was exceptionally kind and patient not only with his grandchildren but also with his three younger siblings.
Xu Niannian was like that, too; if soone treated her well, she would return their kindness tenfold.
After much thought, Xu Wentian decided to host a feast and invite friends and relatives to his ho.
He wanted others to know that he, Xu Wentian, had found both his granddaughter and his wife.
It was also to prevent people from looking down on Xu Niannian.
After all, Xu Niannian was now married to Jin Yu.
There was no telling how many people might be criticizing his granddaughter behind his back.
When it ca to protecting his kin, Xu Wentian could outdo the old lady in his intensity.
He couldn’t stand even the thought of others whispering behind his granddaughter’s back.
Why wouldn’t he stand up for her if he could give his granddaughter support?
Of course, before making a decision, Xu Wentian made sure to consult Gao Lihong for her opinion.
As soon as Gao Lihong heard about it, she imdiately agreed.
Her thinking was the sa as Xu Wentian’s; she didn’t want their granddaughter to be disrespected.
The Jin Family wasn’t just any household; they were a prestigious family that cared a great deal about matching social status.
Even if the Jin Family mbers didn’t mind, who knows what those outsiders would want to point out.
