Chapter 4 Grandpa
Moonlight streamed in through the window, casting a soft glow on Shen Jingnian's profile.
His thin lips were tightly pressed together, exuding an irresistible aura of power that made it difficult for anyone to breathe, creating a tense atmosphere.
Even though Yun Haotian was his own nephew, he didn't dare to say anything more at this moment. Instead, he subconsciously submitted and his tone became extremely respectful. "Yes, Uncle, I will arrange for someone to investigate this matter immediately."
Yun Haotian admires talented people.
Especially promising juniors like Cheng Zijun.
However, since my uncle wants to investigate...
Then let's investigate!
True gold is not afraid of fire.
He believed that Cheng Zijun would definitely not let him down!
When the time comes, my uncle will naturally find out that he was overthinking everything.
Thinking that his uncle would soon be proven wrong by him, Yun Haotian couldn't help but feel a little excited.
Shen Jingnian stood on the clouds.
It is sacred and inviolable.
Over the years, no one has ever been able to slap my uncle in the face.
And he will be the first!
Oye!

the other side.
Jiang Ning also returned to the home she remembered.
This is a very ordinary neighborhood in City A.
After being adopted by Grandpa Jiang, Jiang Ning has been renting a place here ever since.
After taking the elevator to the 8th floor, Jiang Ning reached out and knocked on the door.
Ding ding ding--
About a minute later, the door opened.
The man who opened the door was an elderly gentleman in his early sixties with a kind face. When he saw Jiang Ning standing at the door, he was stunned for a moment, and then said in disbelief, "Ning, Ningning? Why are you back so late?"
It's already past midnight.
Mr. Jiang is 63 years old this year. Although his hair is a bit gray, he is still in good health.
a year ago.
The original owner insisted on marrying Cheng Zijun, which was strongly opposed by Grandpa Jiang. Grandpa Jiang felt that the original owner was still young and should not give up her studies for a man. However, the original owner did not listen to advice at all and even had a big fight with Grandpa Jiang. The two of them had a very tense relationship.
In the end, it was only after the original owner threatened to go on a hunger strike that Grandpa Jiang reluctantly agreed to the marriage.
"grandfather."
Only when Jiang Ning spoke did Grandpa Jiang dare to believe that what he was seeing was not an illusion. He excitedly pulled Jiang Ning into the house, but as soon as he took her hand, he seemed to remember something and immediately let go of her hand. Like a child who had made a mistake, he said helplessly, "Ningning, I'm, I'm sorry..."
The granddaughter's status is different now.
She is a wealthy young lady.
He was just a cleaner in the neighborhood.
Grandpa Jiang was prepared for his granddaughter's outburst, but to his surprise, Jiang Ning smiled and took his hand as he let go, saying, "Grandpa, I want to eat your hand-pulled noodles."
Grandpa Jiang was taken aback.
Since marrying into the Cheng family, the granddaughter has gradually changed. She has begun to dislike her grandfather, who came from a poor background, and she dislikes him because he is a cleaner in the community. She has started to refuse to acknowledge him in front of outsiders.
But now, looking at his granddaughter's hand, Grandpa Jiang couldn't help but feel a lump in his throat. "Alright, alright, come in quickly, Grandpa will make you some hand-pulled noodles right away."
During the time she was married into the Cheng family, Jiang Ning visited her grandfather no more than three times.
His colleagues all said that Grandpa Jiang had raised an ungrateful child.
At this moment, Grandpa Jiang wished he could immediately grab a megaphone and shout it out throughout the neighborhood.
His granddaughter came back to visit him again!
Before entering the kitchen, Grandpa Jiang also turned on the air conditioner in the living room.
What seemed like a small gesture deeply touched Jiang Ning.
The older generation is used to being frugal, and even on a 38-degree summer night, they are reluctant to turn on the air conditioner, but they are willing to give the best of everything to their children and grandchildren.
She sat on the sofa, looking around at the layout of the living room.
The small two-bedroom apartment had little furniture, but it was very clean. An orange vest hung on the coat rack by the door; it was Grandpa Jiang's work uniform.
Grandpa Jiang is a man who can't sit still. At 63 years old, he has found a job as a cleaner in the community.
I work from 7:30 am to 4:30 pm every day, with one day off per week, and a monthly salary of 4000 yuan.
After Jiang Ning got married, in order to save money, Grandpa Jiang rented his room to his coworkers. Fearing that Jiang Ning would have nowhere to stay when she came home, he simply set up a small bed in the living room.
My colleague was hospitalized for a work injury a while ago and is currently recovering in the hospital. Right now, only Grandpa Jiang is staying in the house.
About twenty minutes later, Grandpa Jiang came over with a bowl of fragrant hand-pulled noodles. "Ningning, the noodles are ready."
"Thank you, Grandpa." Jiang Ning took the bowl and began to eat her noodles.
Grandpa Jiang looked at her expectantly, "Ningning, is it delicious?"
"Delicious!" Jiang Ning quickly swallowed the noodles and gave a thumbs up. "My grandfather's hand-pulled noodles are the best in the world."
Grandpa Jiang was instantly satisfied, and smiled with his eyes narrowed, "Then eat more, there's more in the pot."
"Mm." Jiang Ning nodded slightly and continued eating her noodles.
Grandpa Jiang watched his granddaughter eat, his eyes full of heartache. During the year his granddaughter had been in the Cheng family, she must have suffered a lot in order to integrate into high society.
You know, my granddaughter never used to have such good manners when eating.
But now, she even eats so beautifully.
Thinking of his granddaughter's sudden return in the middle of the night, Grandpa Jiang's eyes were full of worry. He carefully considered his words before speaking, "Ningning, did you suffer some injustice at the Cheng family's house?"
Jiang Ning put down her bowl and looked at Grandpa Jiang. "Grandpa, Cheng Zijun and I are divorced."
It was a very simple sentence, but it was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, creating huge waves and making Grandpa Jiang's eyes widen.
divorce?
Jiang Ning is divorced!
How can this be?
Grandpa Jiang could hardly believe his own hearing.
After a long while, Grandpa Jiang finally found his voice and asked nervously, "Ningning, did the Cheng family bully you? Ningning, don't be afraid, Grandpa is here. If they dare to bully you, I'll fight them with my life!"
A year ago, Grandpa Jiang objected to his granddaughter marrying Cheng Zijun.
A year later, when Grandpa Jiang learned that his granddaughter had divorced Cheng Zijun, his first reaction was not to think that his granddaughter had brought it upon herself, but to stand up for her.
Jiang Ning looked at Grandpa Jiang and said softly, "Grandpa, don't worry, no one can bully your granddaughter. I was too foolish before, mistaking that scumbag Cheng Zijun for a treasure. Now I've woken up, and naturally I want to stay away from him and live a better life."
Hearing his granddaughter say that she hadn't been bullied, Grandpa Jiang breathed a sigh of relief and then asked, "Then, so you're really divorced?"
Grandpa Jiang still found it unbelievable.
In his view, his granddaughter was absolutely in love with Cheng Zijun. During her hunger strike, she didn't eat or drink anything for two whole days. How could she possibly divorce him just because she loved him so much?
Jiang Ning didn't explain much, but simply took out the divorce agreement from her bag. "Look at this. I think you're right. At my age, I should study hard, get into a good university, pursue my dreams, and live up to my youth and myself."
Nineteen years old.
The best years of one's life.
She should use her talents to realize her dreams, not get married early.
Upon seeing the divorce agreement, Grandpa Jiang realized that his granddaughter had not lied to him, and at that moment, his hands were trembling.
Jiang Ning looked at Grandpa Jiang and said, word by word, "Grandpa, I was ignorant and willful before, which broke your heart. I am sorry for the upbringing you have given me over the years! From now on, I will study hard and make sure you have a good life."
