Chapter 10: Met Him At Home

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

When he was younger, he had studied abroad. Actually, he could have just stayed abroad but he loved his country and was determined to return. Afterwards, he made great contributions in his scientific career.

Now, he was old and he seldom appeared in public. He had always doted on his grandson Jiang Chi a lot. Today, everyone was very fortunate to be able to meet him.

When Gu Xiang saw him, she was actually rather excited. She was not interested in rich or wealthy people but she admired patriotic heroes like him a lot.

After Grandpa Jiang greeted Uncle Meng and her mother, his eyes landed on her. Today, Gu Xiang was the ‘main focus.’

“Grand daughter-in-law, come here. Let Grandpa take a look at you.”

Grandpa Jiang’s friendliness shocked Gu Xiang by a little.

“Hello, Grandpa.”

Gu Xiang had read about Elder Jiang in her textbooks. She never thought that he would appear right before her at this very moment. A kind of respect came out spontaneously. Gu Xiang sat at a spot that was rather close to Grandpa Jiang.

Grandpa Jiang looked at Gu Xiang and after a short greeting, he looked up and faced Old Du. He said, “Where’s Ah Chi? Why isn’t he here yet?”

Old Du said, “I will call him now.”

Jiang Chi did not go to work today. It was a rare day off, yet he was stuck at home under Old Master’s orders and he did not go anywhere.

Grandpa Jiang said, “Seriously, his wife is here and he has no sense of urgency at all. Hurry, get him here.”

Grandpa Jiang looked very serious. Gu Xiang sat by the side and watched Grandpa Jiang. She recalled the very obnoxious man that she had met at the hospital the day before. She never thought that he would be controlled like this in his home.

Gu Xiang said thoughtfully, “He must be busy with his things. It’s okay if he cannot come down.”

“How can that be?” Grandpa Jiang widened his eyes and said, “Xiang Xiang, it’s not easy for you to be married into our family. If Jiang Chi bullies you, you have to tell me. I will definitely stand by you and teach him a lesson.”

Seeing how protective Old Master was of her, Gu Xiang felt warm and the discomfort that she first felt when she entered the Jiang House subsided a little. After a while, Old Du came down on his own. Jiang Chi did not come with him.

Old Du explained to Grandpa Jiang. “Ah Chi is still upstairs. He wants Madam to go upstairs to look for him.”

Hearing this, Grandpa Jiang was displeased. “He still puts on airs? Does he want me to go up and invite him down personally?”

Old Du explained, “He said that he wants some ‘alone time’ with Madam and that he needs some privacy!”

Gu Xiang was silent. That rascal! He’s so good at hoodwinking.

Grandpa Jiang was easily coaxed. Hearing that, he smiled immediately. “Fine, fine.”

Although Gu Xiang would have rather stayed downstairs to accompany Grandpa, everyone was watching so she went upstairs casually.

She was already Jiang Chi’s wife, so Old Du just led her straight to the entrance of Jiang Chi’s room. “Third Master is right inside. Madam, please.”

Gu Xiang answered, “Thanks.”

Old Du said, “Then I shall take my leave.”

After he spoke, Old Du smiled in a very suggestive way.

Gu Xiang said nothing in response. She did not feel anything initially but after seeing how Old Du smiled, she felt awkward. After Old Du left, she knocked on the door. Very soon, the door opened.

Jiang Chi wore a soft, white shirt that was of very high quality and long black trousers. He had a towel on his shoulders as he had just washed. His hair was still wet.
