Yan Haojue agreed to go not for his wife or daughter, but for his troublesome father. If he didn't show up to appease his father after what he had just said, his father might truly cause utter chaos.
He instructed his assistant to book a flight to Jing City.
...
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Yaning's face lit up with a hint of joy. For so many years, her relationship with her husband had been less than ideal. They had only one daughter, Jiayi, whom they had lost when she was very young. Even after finding her, he hadn't shown much concern.
Now, he finally seemed to care about their daughter, which indirectly suggested he cared about her too.
When Yan Jiayi returned and saw her mother's happy expression, she sat down and asked, "Mom, you seem very happy today."
"Your father is coming to Jing City. When he's here, I'll have him meet Gu Yunting and give his approval for you," Jiang Yaning said with delight.
"That's wonderful! When is Dad coming? I'll go to the airport to pick him up," Yan Jiayi exclaimed, looking pleased.
"You're such a filial child. Your father doesn't know how to cherish you."
"Don't say that, Dad is just busy with work. I understand." Since returning to the Yan family, Yan Jiayi had only seen her father once. He still had that aloof, unapproachable, and cold demeanor, which made her so nervous she almost cried.
Her grandfather was the same. He was truly terrifying. Fortunately, they seemed to treat their other children the same way.
"Your grandfather is in Jing City now. I'll take you to see him another day." Mentioning her father-in-law only made Jiang Yaning more annoyed. That old man never gave her a pleasant look, had a bizarre temper, and was harsh towards everyone.
If he didn't still control the vast majority of the Yan family's shares, she truly wouldn't want to see that strange old man.
But now that her daughter was back in the Yan family, and could be considered the Yan family's only legitimate heir, she was determined to fight for what her daughter deserved.
"Okay, I miss Grandpa so much," Yan Jiayi said with a naive smile.
Jiang Yaning sighed, "You are truly a part of the family. Your grandfather never gave you a pleasant look, and you still miss him."
"But he's still my grandfather, Mom. Don't you have any prejudice against Grandpa and Dad? I think they are both very good," Yan Jiayi said with a smile.
Jiang Yaning looked at her with a mixture of helplessness and affection, urging her to take a bath and rest.
As soon as Yan Jiayi returned to her room, her expression changed. If it weren't for the Yan family's fortune, she wouldn't want to see her father or grandfather; they were both eccentric.
But thinking of the immense wealth of the Yan family, she had to endure and pretend for the sake of money. Fortunately, she could marry Gu Yunting. Then, she'd see who among the Yan family would dare to look down on her.
...
The next morning, Ye Wan was awakened by the doorbell. She opened the door and saw the old man standing outside. She blinked and asked, "Grandpa, why are you here so early?"
"Am I too early? Did I disturb your sleep? Ah, I shouldn't have come so early. But I thought it's bad for your health not to eat breakfast, and bad for the baby, so I brought you breakfast," Old Yan said with a guilty look at the girl who clearly hadn't slept enough.
"No, it's alright. Please come in." Hearing Old Yan's sincere concern, how could Ye Wan still be angry? The elderly man was only thinking of her well-being.
"You go wash up first. You can eat breakfast when you come out, and then you can go back to sleep," Old Yan said, heading to the kitchen to arrange the breakfast on a tray.
"Grandpa, let me do it," Ye Wan felt embarrassed to let the elderly man work so hard.
