Wen Ning ate a whole meal quietly, looking attentive and serious, as if her mind was only between the bowls and chopsticks, and she didn't look up at him again.
The air was quiet, there was no communication between the two, and Jiang Shu didn't dare to interrupt.
It was Wen Ning's biggest concession that the two of them could sit and eat face to face calmly as now. Such an opportunity has been rare for so long. Jiang Shu is careful and cherishes it.
Now the roles between them seem to have suddenly switched. In the past, it was Wen Ning who finally waited for Jiang Shu to come home to have a meal together. He couldn't take care of himself for the whole meal, and stared at him shyly and contentedly holding his chin. Now it's Jiang Shu who looks at her, and he can't see enough.
After dinner, Ren Tiangao came in from outside, and approached Jiang Shu to report something in a low voice.
Wen Ning had seen this situation many times in Yuganwan in the past, and most of the time the two of them spoke in a low voice.
At the beginning, she would also be curious, hoping to know more about his world and share with him the trivial matters of life or work. Several times, she accidentally heard a word or a sentence, but couldn't understand anything after hearing it. , Jiang Shu never took the initiative to chat with her and explain to her. Later, she simply stopped being curious. Anyway, he has always been aloof and mysterious, and she couldn't get close anyway.
Wen Ning glanced up, lowered her head indifferently, and asked Wang Qing to ask Wang Qing to ask the crew for a few days off to apologize, and she would go back when grandfather's funeral was done.
Jiang Shu felt the eyes of the people behind him, and seemed to suddenly understand the meaning behind those eyes. He simply turned around and walked a few steps to her. Hao casually told her the conversation between the two.
"Ren Tiangao said that the person who was sent to guard your grandfather's house just now came over."
When Wen Ning heard Grandpa, she finally raised her eyes to look at him: "What did he say?"
"He said that your uncle and aunt may not be able to provide any money for the old man's funeral. Just now, he wanted to bring the village chief over to be a witness, and just go through the formalities and bury the person hastily."
Wen Ning's delicate brows wrinkled, and she got up to go to the door: "No, they don't want to do it well, I'll do it. Grandpa has been good to me since he was a child, and I want him to go with dignity."
I have heard of many unworthy descendants before. After the old man passed away, he still made a big deal of the funeral for the sake of face, and sent the last journey, but now her uncles and aunts are ruthless and indifferent. Before Wen Ning grew up, only grandfather could She is good, only grandpa is willing to talk to her, she can't let grandpa go so casually.
Jiang Shu naturally knew what she meant, put his hands on her shoulders, and sat back on the sofa while stroking her small body: "I know, so I just asked Nintendo to send someone over to stabilize the person first, you don't need it for now. Worrying, you have been traveling from Yunshan to Yuquan Village all day, and you are tired by boat and car. You are already very sad when your grandfather passed away. Let’s rest for a night? Leave it to me over there, and I will go down right now.”
Jiang Shu is selfishly unwilling to let her go again, at least it is absolutely impossible to let her go alone. The Wen family's attitude towards her is obviously bad, and they have been bullied since childhood. A few sticks will fall on Wen Ning's body.
Going back at this moment will most likely be scorned by others. Even if he can keep her unscathed, the words of the Wen family can still make her sad and sad. He wants to put the baby on the top of his heart and it is too late to hurt him. Why should he suffer in vain? People are bullying, and now he is reluctant to say even half a heavy word, what right do other people have to talk about.
Wen Ning was naturally reluctant: "But that's my grandfather."
"I know." Jiang Shu was used to being merciless since he was a child, and was not a sympathetic person. If it wasn't for her grandfather today, then he would not have the slightest sympathy. The man's eyes were gentle, "But I feel sorry for you."
Wen Ning pursed her lips and looked away. In fact, she was never used to such a gentle and obedient Jiang Shu, let alone such a naked confession.
"Go back to the room to take a hot bath first, take a good rest and sleep. Your uncle and aunt will leave it to me. I don't want them to bother you. In fact, at the beginning, I really didn't plan to tell you, for fear that you might Thinking so much now, I'm in a hurry to go to Wen's house." Jiang Shu sighed helplessly, "However, I want you to know that I have no secrets to you."
Speaking of secrets, Wen Ning thought of the room on the third floor of Yuganwan, her eyes drooping slightly and she didn't make a sound.
Facing her now, Jiang Shu really has no confidence. He has never been in love and chasing anyone in his life, and he has never spoiled anyone. Even if his heart is full of love, he still seems overwhelmed.
Fortunately, he has been in the shopping mall for many years, he is proficient in various negotiation skills, and knows how to analyze people's psychology. He lowered his head to look at her and guided him warmly: "You have seen the attitude of your cousin during the day, and your uncle and aunt must be the same. If you get angry with your nose, your cousin loses face, so she probably has a lot of resentment. If you come to Wen's house at this time, it may arouse their unnecessary emotions, and grandpa's future arrangements will not be so smooth. "
"Ningning, I know you have a bad impression of me, but if you trust me once, I will help you take care of grandpa."
I have to say that Jiang Shu's words are very reasonable. Even if Wen Ning is reluctant to accept him emotionally, he has to admit that he has a clear mind and clear thinking, and is a very smart and capable man.
Wen Ning bit her lip and nodded obediently.
Somewhere in Jiang Shu's heart softened for a moment, his baby was as good as ever, even if he was so disappointed in him, he was still willing to give him a chance.
**
Knowing how to show weakness in front of the person you like doesn't mean that the arrogance and ruthlessness you used to be will no longer be repeated, it's just that when you treat the person you love, you put away your fangs, but once in front of outsiders, Jiang Shu can easily change back to that coldness The ruthless and ruthless Crown Prince of Hancheng.
It was not as difficult as he said to settle the Wen family. He didn't even have to say a word, and the few people naturally shut up.
Compared with before, the man's mind is much more delicate. After dealing with the uncle and aunt of the Wen family, he arbitrarily turned to the room where Grandpa Wen lived all the year round.
For this old man, he is grateful and has some unspeakable hatred. He is grateful that he picked up Wen Ning twenty years ago and gave her a chance to live in this world. He met him, but he hated him for taking his baby with him. After entering this terrible marriage, but unable to protect her well, she is such a good little girl, and she has endured all disasters since she was a child.
However, Wen Ning respects him, then his hatred will also dissipate. If he really wants to hate him, he should hate himself, hate himself for not meeting her earlier, hate himself for not taking her out sooner, hate himself for not being able to recognize her sooner out her.
Jiang Shu concentrated, retracted his thoughts, and checked around Grandpa Wen's bedroom several times.
The Wen family didn't usually come to Grandpa Wen's bedroom to look after him, but now they think that the house just passed away, which is bad luck. Since Wen Ning left, no one has entered the house.
The furnishings in the room are still as they were at the beginning. The things in the room that belong to the elderly are not valuable, and they haven't moved at all.
Jiang Shu collected some books that the old man had read and written before his death, and planned to take them back to Wen Ning as a thought. After all, this is the grandfather who accompanied her growing up, and the little girl always has deep feelings.

When the man returned to the manor, more than an hour later, he entered the hall. He wanted to go to the upstairs bedroom to see Wen Ning, but as soon as he reached the stairs, he was stopped by the servant with an embarrassed expression: "Sir, Mrs. We fell asleep on the sofa, we were afraid she would catch a cold, and we dared not call her…”
Jiang Shu immediately changed his footsteps and walked towards the sofa. When he reached the partition, he saw Wen Ning's little one huddled on the sofa, sleeping on his arm.
She even wore the same clothes as when she came. She didn't take a bath or go upstairs to rest.
Jiang Shu hurriedly walked over, and lightly picked him up by the waist. The little girl habitually rubbed against his chest. After finding a comfortable position, she smack her lips and fell asleep.
Jiang Shu's nervous heart was relieved a little. He used to never care whether she wanted to or not when he touched her. He often felt it and wanted it, but now he is worried that she will lose his temper when he even hugs her. , for fear of her dissatisfaction, she turned her head and left at any time.
In Wen Ning's sleep, he kept dreaming that his grandfather was not sleeping well. Jiang Shucai had just walked to the corner of the stairs with the person in his arms.
The little girl frowned childishly, rubbing her eyes and gradually woke up.
Jiang Shu suddenly held his breath and stopped in place, not knowing whether he should continue to go upstairs.
The little guy in her arms finally opened her eyes, she was stunned for a while, only to realize that she was not on the sofa, but was hugged by him.
Jiang Shu had no choice but to open his mouth, and Shasha's voice overflowed from his throat, with a certain tenderness: "It's okay, you go back to sleep, and you'll be in the bedroom in a while."
Wen Ning pouted, struggling to get down from his arms: "I'll go by myself, you let me down..."
The man sighed lightly and carefully put the man down.
"Why don't you go back to your room to sleep? The servants have just put the bath water in. If you are tired, it will be more comfortable to take a bath and sleep again."
Wen Ning didn't say a word, and after a long while, he suddenly muttered: "I don't know which bedroom it is, if I go wrong and go to a room that shouldn't be entered, it will be bad, so I just stay on the sofa... "To avoid unnecessary trouble.
Jiang Shu breathed for a while, recalling that when he was in the bedroom on the third floor of Yuganwan, he was furious in vain and forced her to sign the divorce agreement.
The man hurriedly explained: "Ningning, that room is actually—"
"You don't need to tell me, and I don't want to know." Wen Ning, who had always been quiet, suddenly interrupted him, "There's no need."
The author has something to say: Ning Ning: Jiang Shu, I want to count the past with you one by one.
Jiang Gou: I kill myself.
The epidemic has delayed the progress of many courses, so our teachers rushed to the schedule, and then I was sanctioned very badly. I had to finish my homework every day before updating (when I went to the cafeteria to eat at noon, I had to queue for at least half an hour between meals, crying. )
So the latest updates are all in the middle of the night. I usually start writing after I finish my homework, and I will post it after I finish it, so everyone can get up and read it the next morning.
Tomorrow these two cubs will meet each other.
