Chapter 439: Seeing People She Did Not Want To See
When Su Wan saw the photo album in Xie Changfeng’s hand, a hint of sadness emerged in her heart. Her nose ached, but in the end she managed to control her emotions.
Jiang Xuecheng was right. There was no benefit in wallowing in sadness. It was better to think of a way to sooner find the murderer.
Su Wan sat next to Xie Changfeng. She pointed at the photo. The smile on her face was faint, and her clear almond-shaped eyes seemed to sparkle.
“Grandfather, look, grandmother is with my parents now. She should be very happy, right?”
Xie Changfeng looked at Su Wan. When he saw the smile on Su Wan’s face, he was startled. He sighed lightly, knowing that Su Wan was taking the opportunity to inspire him.
“Yes, your grandmother is with Lan Lan and the others now. She should be very happy. I even dreamed about your grandmother last night. She said she misses me very much and doesn’t know when she will get to see me again.”
When Xie Changfeng’s hoarse voice fell into her ears, Su Wan quivered, and her fingers couldn’t help but tremble.
Was grandfather hinting that he didn’t want to live anymore?
Su Wan hurriedly grabbed Xie Changfeng’s withered hand, trying to give him some strength.
“Grandfather, don’t think too much. Didn’t you see her in your dreams?”
Xie Changfeng smiled ruefully, and a faint light flashed through his old eyes. “Yes…”
At this moment, a cold and elegant voice suddenly sounded from not far away.
“Grandfather, Wan Wan, breakfast is ready. Come and eat with us.”
Su Wan and Xie Changfeng suddenly raised their heads, and their eyes swept into the plain-colored apron on Jiang Xuecheng.
Although he was wearing an apron, it did not detract from his handsomeness. Instead, it made him seem more approachable.
Su Wan curved the corners of her lips and smiled at Xie Changfeng. “Grandfather, let’s go have breakfast.”
“The two of you eat first. I don’t have an appetite.”
Xie Changfeng waved his hand tiredly, his eyes still fixed on the group photo.
Su Wan frowned and quickly snatched the photo album from Xie Changfeng’s hand. Then, she pulled Xie Changfeng’s arm without caring about anything else.
“Grandfather, you used to teach me that I must have breakfast in the morning. If you don’t eat now, it won’t taste good when it gets cold.”
Xie Changfeng glanced at Su Wan helplessly. The photo album had been taken away by Su Wan, which made his heart suddenly feel empty. There was no place for him to settle down.
A faint smile also appeared on Jiang Xuecheng’s handsome face. When he saw Su Wan’s gaze, he took the opportunity to take the photo album and lock it in the cabinet.
“Grandfather, let’s have breakfast first.”
His deep voice had an irresistible charm.
“Okay.”
Xie Changfeng looked at the locked cabinet in a daze. Finally, he sighed and with quick steps, he followed Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng.
After breakfast, Jiang Xuecheng and Su Wan took Xie Changfeng to the greenhouse to look at the boat orchids they were nurturing.
Xie Changfeng was a typical Chinese scholar. He adored elegance and showed favouritism towards orchids.
Although the boat orchid was not in bloom at the moment, a rare look of joy appeared in Xie Changfeng’s eyes.
“This boat orchid was raised really well! This is raised by Xuecheng, right? Wan’s hasty and unserious nature wouldn’t understand this.”
Su Wan was speechless. When Xie Changfeng first met Jiang Xuecheng, he was very dissatisfied with this grandson-in-law, but now, the situation seemed to have reversed?
Su Wan, as Xie Changfeng’s legitimate granddaughter, was always scolded by him…
“Grandfather, if you like it, you can take it back and raise it.”
Jiang Xuecheng’s smile was as light as the spring breeze, and his gentle voice was like a clear spring in the mountains.
Xie Changfeng was delighted when he heard that. However, he knew that orchids like the boat orchid were rare to begin with, so it was even more valuable to raise them in such a state.
“There’s no need. Plants and flowers also have spirits. Since you raised them so well, I can see that you cherish them very much.”
A faint and gentle light appeared on Xie Changfeng’s aged face. He looked at the boat orchid with some affection and shook his head slightly.
Jiang Xuecheng smiled discreetly. He pulled open the rattan chair beside him and signaled for Xie Changfeng to sit down.
Meanwhile, Su Wan brought the freshly brewed Pu’er tea and poured a cup each for Jiang Xuecheng and Xie Changfeng.
“Grandfather, this Pu’er tea is not bad. Why not bring some back with you to drink when you return to A City? It can warm your stomach.”
Su Wan was afraid that Xie Changfeng would eat irregularly in A City alone in the future. It would not be good if his stomach disease recurred.
Xie Changfeng took a sip of the Pu’er tea in the white porcelain cup. The leisurely fragrance of the tea lingered in the air, and the surrounding was quiet. It was as if he was enjoying a half-day of leisure.
“It’s really not bad. Then I’ll bring some with me.”
Hearing Xie Changfeng agree, Su Wan smiled happily.
…
That afternoon, Jiang Xuecheng drove the Koenigsegg Agera R and personally sent Xie Changfeng back to A City.
Su Wan wanted to send Xie Changfeng back with Jiang Xuecheng, but Xie Changfeng rejected. In the end, Su Wan could only stay at Fontainebleau alone and watch the TV to kill time.
Just when Su Wan was bored, she suddenly received a phone call from Lin Fei’er.
“Wan, I wasn’t in S City a few days ago. I just came to know that something happened to you. Are… are you okay?”
Lin Fei’er had been annoyed by Jiang Haoxuan recently, so she turned off her phone and ran off to a town in B City.
She was going to look at houses there and consider settling down in the future. She didn’t expect so many things to happen in S City after she had been away for just a few days!
She even missed Su Wan’s grandmother’s funeral…
Lin Fei’er’s worried voice came from the phone, and Su Wan felt a sense of warmth in her heart.
“Fei’er, I’m fine.”
She had a partner like Jiang Xuecheng and a sincere friend like Lin Fei’er. She could already be considered an extremely lucky person.
People should be grateful that they are alive. They should cherish what they have now so that they would not have any regrets in the future.
Su Wan and Lin Fei’er chatted for a while. When Lin Fei’er learned that Su Wan was alone at home, she immediately invited Su Wan to go shopping with her. She even made it sound like she wanted to relax and let Su Wan forget about the things that had happened in the past few days.
Su Wan naturally agreed. The two of them arranged to meet at Jintai shopping center in S City.
Su Wan did not wear any makeup before she left the house. Her face was a little pale.
When Lin Fei’er saw her, she immediately realized that Su Wan had become much more haggard. Her frame was already slender, and now, it seemed like she was a little too thin.
Lin Fei’er frowned. She hugged Su Wan tightly and complained softly.
“Wan, why are you so thin? I heard that a typhoon is coming to S City in a few days. I am really afraid that you would be blown away by the typhoon.”
Su Wan smiled slightly and hugged Lin Fei’er back.
“It’s not as exaggerated as you say. I’m not made of paper. How could I be blown away by the wind so easily?”
Su Wan and Lin Fei’er soon started shopping in the Jintai shopping center. The two of them went from shop to shop, but in the end, they did not buy anything.
They were a little tired from shopping, so Su Wan and Lin Fei’er found a cafe nearby and sat down.
She did not expect that once they sat down, she would suddenly see people she did not want to see.
You and your enemies tread on the same narrow road, and she actually bumped into Yang Xiaobing and Li Peng during a meal.
