Chapter 660 - 658: They Can All Tell
Qi Younian watched as Wong Qiao’s retreating figure disappeared into the distance, then turned to look in the direction of the backyard and silently shook his head. Ah Qiao is pitiable too, what did Lady Zhao say to him? Looking at the situation, could it be that the child has made some kind of decision, which is why he’s so depressed?
Concerned about Wong Qiao, after breakfast, Qi Younian sent word to the Duke’s Mansion to call Ye Xinyan over.
No sooner had the grandfather and granddaughter settled down in the outer courtyard’s hall than they heard Song Ping’s family arranging tea and speaking, "Lord Jiang is here, this servant pays respects to Lord Jiang."
Hearing this, Qi Younian couldn’t help but glance at Ye Xinyan. Now that his granddaughter and Jiang Yifan are discussing marriage, wouldn’t it be inappropriate for them to meet?
Ye Xinyan, meeting Qi Younian’s gaze, indicated that she too was helpless.
Yet in her heart, she scorned her grandfather’s overly cautious attitude. They all had been so eager before, wishing that she and Jiang Yifan could talk more, spend more time together. Now, as they start to discuss marriage, they suddenly treat Jiang Yifan as if he’s some great calamity. Is that really necessary?
Now that the families were discussing marriage, Qi Younian, being an elder, naturally couldn’t go out to welcome Jiang Yifan like before.
Although Ye Xinyan shouldn’t go out to welcome him either, she couldn’t just sit there carelessly, so she stood up.
Whether to formally welcome him or not, having the right demeanor was essential.
