Chapter 26 You Are Really Conspiring Against Me (2)
In Jiang Lili's memory, Grandpa Ye was also a handsome handsome man when he was young.
In terms of appearance, a large part of Ye Jiayan inherited the old man.
Unfortunately, he did not inherit the character of the old man.
The old man founded the Ye family when he was young. At the most glorious time, he still upholds the nature of kindness and generousness, treats every employee with tolerance, and is passionate about public welfare throughout his life.
The old man has two sons, and the two sons gave birth to two grandchildren for him. The Ye family has not had any girls for several generations.
Therefore, Jiang Lili was favored by the old man when she was a child. She was chased by the old man every day and told her to marry Brother Jiayan when she grew up.
Sometimes, Jiang Lili also suspects that she likes Ye Jiayan so much, maybe she was brainwashed by the old man...
"Lili," the old man interrupted Jiang Lili's thoughts and asked, "How are you and Jiayan doing recently? Jiayan didn't bully you, right?"
"No. We are very good." Jiang Lili held the old man's hand, "Grandpa, don't worry. If Jiayan bullies me, I will tell you the first time!"
"Oh, that's right." The old man nodded with relief, "I'll teach him a lesson for you!"
Jiang Lili smiled, her eyes inexplicably hot, and she hurriedly looked forward, trying hard to force her tears back.
After she woke up from drowning "accidentally", she did not go to settle the score with Ye Jiayan and Zhuang Yayan immediately, but she didn't want to make things worse and didn't want her grandfather to know what was going on.
My grandfather told her more than once that Ye Jiayan is the most outstanding person in the Ye family generations, and even better than him back then.
She knew very well that Ye Jiayan was grandfather’s greatest pride and she didn’t want to disappoint her grandfather.
A gust of autumn wind blew over, and Jiang Lili took back her thoughts and put her coat on her grandfather to prevent him from catching a cold.
The old man put his coat together and continued, "Lili, you also know what Jiayan has experienced since he was a child. He is actually a very good child, but because of the experiences he had when he was a child, his personality was a bit awkward. I promised my grandfather that he would be more patient with him and that he could give you happiness."
Jiang Lili nodded: "Yes!"
The old man suddenly stopped and looked at Jiang Lili apologetically: "Do you think grandpa is too selfish?"
"Of course not." Jiang Lili asked in confusion, "Grandpa, why did you say that?"
"I know you like Jiayan, and you know you can take good care of him, so I arranged for you to marry Jiayan. Now I hope you are patient with Jiayan. All I think about is Jiayan, which is too unfair to you." The old man sighed, "You live in a happy family, and you have known since you were a child what a happy woman looks like - just your mother. But now, Jiayan can't give you stable happiness."
"Grandpa, people are different from people, and the standards for measuring happiness are also different. I never thought of replicating my mother's life." Jiang Lili paused and said with a smile, "I am willing to wait for Jiayan."
The old man clenched Jiang Lili's hand tightly, and tears flashed in his eyes.
"Grandpa, let's say something else." Jiang Lili changed the topic, "I'm going to work tomorrow - to intern at Hengxin Law Firm."
"You are going to work? Why don't you go to our own company?" The old man frowned deeply, "It's so hard to be a lawyer. Don't you have no time to see your grandpa in the future?"
"Yes!" Jiang Lili said confidently, "I will come to see you after the weekend."
"...Hengxin, right? I asked Jiayan to contact their boss." The old man murmured to himself, "You can go to work, but you must not be bullied."
Of course, Jiang Lili would not let Ye Jiayan come forward, but she didn't want to worry grandpa, so she said: "Grandpa, three of the four founders of Hengxin are my father's students!"
The implication is that she cannot be bullied by Hengxin.
As expected, the old man was not only relieved, but also suddenly became happy.
Nearly six o'clock, Ye Jiayan returned to Xinyu Villa, got off at the door and entered through the side door. After walking a few steps, he saw Jiang Lili and his grandfather walking in the garden.
The butler, Uncle Wang, saw Ye Jiayan first and walked over: "Jiayan, you are back."
"Uncle Wang."
Ye Jiayan greeted Uncle Wang, but his eyes were staring at Jiang Lili and grandpa.
"Thanks to Li Li come back." Uncle Wang said, "Why did the old man refuse to take medicine at noon, it made me worried. Later, as soon as Li Li came back, I didn't know what he said, so the old man immediately took the medicine! I was wondering if I wanted to seek Buddhist scriptures from her."
Uncle Wang was instructed by his grandfather and praised Jiang Lili in front of Ye Jiayan.
Ye Jiayan pretended not to notice and said, "She is just sweet-mouthed and can make her grandfather happy."
"You can't say that." Uncle Wang said, "There are so many people who are sweet-mouthed. There are only ones who can make the old man happy, but that's the only one."
Ye Jiayan glanced at Uncle Wang and reminded lightly: "Uncle Wang, stop at the right time."
Uncle Wang smiled and waved his hand: "Okay, I'll go see if the supper is ready."
At this time, the old man and Jiang Lili also noticed Ye Jiayan.
The old man said something to Jiang Lili. Jiang Lili ran back to the house. Ye Jiayan walked over consciously and shouted: "Grandpa."
"You guy has the ability to see you." Grandpa Ye said, "Li Li told me that she was going to work in Hengxin, what kind of law firm is that?"
Ye Jiayan remembered the information he searched last night and told his grandfather truthfully to reassure him.
"I originally wanted to ask you to learn about this law firm." The old man stared at Ye Jiayan and suddenly smiled, "It seems that you have already understood it."
"..." A touch of unnatural flashed across Ye Jiayan's face, and he emphasized with some force, "Grandpa, I already knew Hengxin."
"Oh?" The old man looked suspicious, "Is that right?"
“…”
Ye Jiayan refused to answer, avoided the old man's inquiring gaze and saw Jiang Lili coming out of the house.
She walked with two white mugs in a little careful way.
The old man poked Ye Jiayan's back with a crutch, which was very obvious.
Ye Jiayan walked over helplessly, took the two cups from Jiang Lili's hand, and said, "I'll get it."
"There was one cup for you," Jiang Lili said, "The other cup for grandpa."
She was probably in a good mood, and she was smiling when she spoke. The sunset shone a thin layer of golden light on her face, so dazzling that it made people unable to move their eyes.
Ye Jiayan tried his best to restrain himself, said "yes", walked towards his grandfather with a teacup, and told the old man about the company.
Jiang Lili could understand a little bit, and then she realized that something happened to the company last night, so Ye Jiayan worked overtime all night before handling it.
The old man frowned: "Such a big thing happened. Didn't there be many people working overtime in the company last night?"
"No." Ye Jiayan said, "It's only me and Yangsheng."
"Have you two handled such a big deal?!"
The old man smiled and patted Ye Jiayan on the shoulder, not hiding his appreciation for this young man at all.
Jiang Lili also looked at Ye Jiayan, and many chaotic thoughts flashed through her mind—
He did not mention Zhuang Yayan.
Don't dare?
Zhuang Yayan once said that grandpa did not agree with her being with Ye Jiayan. In front of grandpa, Ye Jiayan would of course not mention Zhuang Yayan.
At this moment, the butler, Uncle Wang, came over and said that the supper was ready.
"Lili," the old man called Jiang Lili, "It's time to eat."
During the whole process of the meal, the old man told Ye Jiayan to take good care of Jiang Lili and pay attention to her movements in the law firm. Never let her be bullied.
"We Lili have never suffered grievances since we were young." The old man emphasized, "There is no reason to be wronged after going to work."
"Grandpa," said Ye Jiayan, "you should not be too idealized."
"Don't reason with me." The old man said domineeringly, "Isn't you Ye Jiayan so much now? You can't protect your wife well? Stop talking nonsense, just do what I said."
"..." Ye Jiayan agreed helplessly, "Okay."
Jiang Lili understood it clearly—the only one who can restrain Ye Jiayan was Grandpa.
There is indeed no reason for her to like and admire her grandfather!
After dinner, the old man reminded Ye Jiayan a few more words, not leaving the young couple at all, but instead urged them to go back.
"Grandpa, it's still early," said Jiang Lili, "Let's chat with you for a while."
"No, I'm going to rest soon." The old man patted Jiang Lili's hand, "You have to go to work tomorrow, go back early to prepare."
Jiang Lili had to leave with Ye Jiayan.
Ye Jiayan's driver got off work and had to go back in the same car with Jiang Lili.
Jiang Lili handed him the car key and said, "You can drive it."
Ye Jiayan had first-class driving skills. The car was racing all the way, and the scenery along the road quickly retreated, and the night was left far behind by him.
Jiang Lili weighed the pros and cons, and said, "Don't do what grandpa said to you. If grandpa asks, I will cooperate with you to deal with grandpa."
Ye Jiayan is right, grandpa is too ideal.
When she wants to work, it is inevitable that she will suffer grievances and experience setbacks. She is a character who has just been born in a novice village and needs such experience to grow.
So, she didn't want Ye Jiayan to care about her.
Ye Jiayan looked at Jiang Lili in a sideways eyes: "Don't worry, I didn't plan to do what my grandfather said."
"..." Jiang Lili almost vomited blood again and complained, "Do you want to say that you are so direct when you don't care about someone?"
Ye Jiayan frowned and asked back, "What does this have to do with care? Since you are going to work, you must learn to deal with the troubles and emotions that work brings to you. The office cannot be as comfortable as at home."
"I know!" Jiang Lili said angrily, "So I told you not to worry about me!"
Ye Jiayan asked calmly: "Then why do you say I don't care about you?"
"..." Jiang Lili was angry and anxious, but she was not Ye Jiayan's opponent, so she had to say, "This topic ends here!"
“…”
Ye Jiayan looked at Jiang Lili and said nothing.
This topic was initiated by Jiang Lili and she was about to end. He had already done it according to her requirements. What else would she be angry about?
Women are indeed an emotional troublesome creature!
