Chapter 1278: Two Old Men Childishly Compete for Favor
Zhai Yunsheng explained to Grandma Jian: “In order to clear our relationship with some snakes, rats, and insects, it was necessary to destroy everything we had and start all over again.”
As the Loyalty Alliance was created by the ancestors of the Zhai family, after hundreds of years, the alliance gradually lost its original meaning.
If the previous trend were to continue, more and more leeches would appear. Naturally, this was not good for the Zhai family.
And thus, from very early on, Zhai Yunsheng, Han Mengyu, and Xing Wei founded a new business alliance that distinguished itself from the Loyalty Alliance.
And during the two years that Zhai Yunsheng was sick, the Second Master of the Zhai family further split up the Zhai family business.
Therefore, when Qin Chuan decided to take over the Zhai family business and the Loyalty Alliance, Zhai Yunsheng decided to go with the flow.
Upon hearing this explanation, Grandma Jian gradually understood what was going on.
“Then… The two of you…” Grandma Jian started as she looked at Jian Yiling and Zhai Yunsheng.
“We’re fine,” Jian Yiling replied. Then she added: “Grandma, please don’t worry about us. You should take care of your own health.”
Grandma Jian had experienced a stroke in the past. Therefore, she should not be anxious or worried for a long period of time.
…
“Good, good,” Grandma Jian repeated. She finally felt relieved.
Upon hearing this, Master Zhai mentioned the orchid to Jian Yiling: “Yiling, this orchid smells amazing. I want one as well.”
Without waiting for Jian Yiling to answer, Grandpa Jian said: “Yiling, this orchid was cultivated especially for me right? It’s exclusive right?”
Both Master Zhai and Grandpa Jian looked at Jian Yiling expectantly.
All of a sudden, Jian Yiling did not know what to say.
Zhai Yunsheng hurriedly said: “Grandpa, orchids require special care. Since you don’t know much about raising orchids, let’s forget about raising orchids. Yiling was knitting a scarf earlier. She can gift that scarf to you.”
“Really? Is she okay with that?”
After all, Yiling was knitting the scarf. It wasn’t any random old scarf. For the scarf to be gifted, Yiling herself had to give permission.
“Of course, she’s okay with that,” Zhai Yunsheng answered. There was a tinge of guilt in his voice.
Although Jian Yiling did intend to give Master Zhai the scarf, she planned to give it to him when the weather was cooler
Even though it was autumn, the weather was still quite warm.
“Yep,” Jian Yiling gave an affirmative answer.
Upon hearing this, Master Zhai’s heart immediately burst with joy. A handknitted scarf by his granddaughter-in-law meant way more than an orchid!
The fragrance of orchids was nothing compared to a warm hand-knitted scarf!
Grandpa Jian looked at Master Zhai in contempt. What was he being proud of?
Then Master Zhai said to Jian Yiling: “Yiling, you don’t need to call me Grandpa Zhai in the future. Just call me Grandpa. After all, you’re married to A Sheng now. I’m officially your grandpa.”
“What is this nonsense?” Grandpa Jian immediately said.”I still exist! If Yiling calls someone grandpa, am I meant to respond, or are you meant to respond?”
“Well, I’m still her grandpa!”
“She should only call you grandpa when I’m not there! However, as long as I’m present, you are still Grandpa Zhai!”
Master Zhai had no choice but to agree: “Okay, okay. You’re older. I will listen to you.”
Grandpa Jian and Master Zhai bickered like two children. If they weren’t stopped, they could argue for half a day on this topic.
