Feng Zhongliang frowned, and Jiang Se saw it:
"My family situation is complicated." She said meaningfully, "When I was young, I spent most of my time growing up with my grandfather."
When Feng Zhongliang heard her words, he couldn't help but think of what she had mentioned casually, that her mother remarried with her, and that her stepfather probably didn't like her very much after the remarriage. The grandfather she was talking about should be the grandfather on her biological father's side.
"He is not good at speaking, and he doesn't show his concern on his face, but he really takes good care of me." She spoke this in a soft voice, smiling slightly, but there seemed to be tears in her eyes.
For some reason, Feng Zhongliang felt particularly touched after hearing this.
The situation she mentioned was actually very similar to his.
He has a serious personality and temper, and is not a suitable parent to take care of children. When he was young, he was busy with his career, and his wife was responsible for the upbringing of the children at home.
When the children grew up, they were more afraid of him than close to him. The reason he intervened in Feng Nan's education was because the children made too much trouble, which led to the young Feng Nan being in danger and almost losing his life.
This finally angered him, causing him to take Feng Nan with him and raise him in the imperial capital.
But there is actually very little time for grandparents and grandchildren to sit down and talk like this.
He likes quietness, and she is deeply influenced by him. She has a quiet and cold personality. Sometimes a book and a cup of tea are enough for her to sit for a whole day.
Feng Zhongliang didn't think there was anything wrong before. He was used to having his own routine, and Feng Nan also had his own. The authority of his elder made him accustomed to not lowering himself to talk to his granddaughter. Similarly, Feng Nan might also be used to such a life. The time for grandparents and grandchildren to chat like this was not much.
He thought it was nothing at that time, but when he sat down with Jiang Se and really talked to a girl and listened to her inner thoughts, Feng Zhongliang began to regret it. However, Feng Nan's personality has changed a lot now. Between the grandfather and grandson, even if he wants to know what his granddaughter is thinking and want to have a heart-to-heart talk with her, it is always too late.
"My grandfather taught me a lot, and I understand what you mean. Ayi is a very good person."
She smiled, and when she mentioned Pei Yi, her eyes showed tenderness. Aunt Wang brought the tea over, she took it, thanked him, and took a sip:
"I'm not worried about whether he will be responsible for my future, nor am I worried about whether the Pei family will accept me, and it's not because there is a lot of money to be made in the entertainment industry, or for this or that reason."
The way she drank tea was very similar to Feng Nan's.
Feng Zhongliang lowered his eyes, his hands shaking a little, perhaps because it was a rare opportunity for him to sit and chat with a younger generation for a long time today, he felt as if his granddaughter had come back. The more he looked at Jiang Se, the more he felt that she was like Feng Nan back then, in every move, tone of voice, expression and movements when speaking.
"I just feel that my grandfather taught me to write, to read well, and to learn etiquette, not for the purpose of making me a subordinate of someone in the future."
She turned around to put down the teacup, her expression indifferent:
"I thought of my mother, who was like a bird trapped in a cage all her life. No matter how beautiful she was before marriage, after marriage she seemed to have lost herself. The only impression others had of her was that of someone's wife."
If she had not been reborn, perhaps her life would have been predetermined. She would have obeyed her parents' arrangements, got in touch with Zhao Junhan, and got married when the time was right. She would have seen the end of her life.
Even if we take a step back and say that she married Pei Yi instead of Zhao Junhan, Jiang Se felt that the result would be similar. The only difference might be that Pei Yi was sincere to her, while Zhao Junhan was just pretending to be loyal to her. Her life would not have changed much, except that she went from being the wife of Jianghua Group to the wife of Pei family.
She didn't feel anything about this before, until she saw Zhou Hui. The difference between her and Feng Nan's mother might be the difference in status. In fact, in the hearts of men, they all look down on them.
Feng Qinlun had constant affairs after marriage, but Feng's mother endured it and got used to it. Her bottom line was just that Feng Qinlun's woman should not touch her interests. In fact, this bottom line was very fragile, like a piece of thin paper made of self-esteem, which would break with a poke.
Zhou Hui's experience was much more direct. Du Changqun's impatience and disrespect for her were clearly shown on his face, and her patience also touched Jiang Se even more.
So after her rebirth, when she recalled the past, she realized that she had changed so much compared to before.
God let her live her life again, perhaps to give her another chance. He didn't want her to become someone's appendage, nor let her see through the next few decades at the beginning of her life. He wanted her to see herself clearly and live a better life, rather than just living.
After her rebirth, she thought back to the past. She was unaware of Pei Yi's love for her, but her grandfather might have known about it.
To be honest, Pei Yi's identity and status are both outstanding, but Feng Zhongliang did not point out her intention at the time. Instead, he let her follow her inner choice and did not intervene forcefully, but carefully protected her.
When she was still Feng Nan, she couldn't understand these things. Her impression of her grandfather was just that he had a very serious personality. But after changing her identity, she saw it more clearly.
Grandpa actually loved her a lot, but he never said it, so when she was reborn, she couldn't even say thank you to him.
Jiang Se's words made Feng Zhongliang silent for a long time. He used to stubbornly believe that the entertainment industry was not a good place. Girls from good families should not hang out in such a place, nor should they become actors.
He would rather Jiang Se study more, get a good diploma in the future, and live a good life with Pei Yi after graduation.
But her words gave him a different inspiration from another perspective. He thought of his granddaughter Feng Nan, who is also currently in the entertainment industry.
The grandfather and grandson had a huge argument over this matter.
Feng Zhongliang was thinking, if Feng Nan could tell him these things, would his opposition not be as strong as it was at that time, and would the grandfather and grandson not end up in rebellion
If she were his own granddaughter, and he raised her by himself, he would only wish her the best, not because he wanted to treat her as a precious ornament to beautify someone's facade.
He felt a little sad, thinking that as he got older, his principles were not as strong as when he was young.
In the past, I would never say these things to a girl like this. As soon as I heard that she was an actress, I would have turned my back on her and refused to say anything more. But now, I feel that even if she is "self-degrading", she is still well-behaved and cute
"Speaking of which, Grandpa, have you seen the play I performed in "Beijing Events"?"
Seeing that he was silent, Jiang Se found something to talk to him:
"The screenwriter of this movie is also Mr. Hou Xiling. It's very interesting."
"No! I only like to listen to dramas, I don't watch these movies!" He shook his head with a gloomy face. Jiang Se didn't care and said with a smile: "Then next time I come to see you, I will bring you opera discs. What kind do you like?"
Feng Zhongliang felt happy when he heard her say this, but he said:
"Come and see me? You're so skinny, it's annoying to see you. Next time, if you don't gain weight, Wang Ma won't even open the door!" (To be continued)
