Hearing footsteps behind her, Ning Jiang turned around to look.
When she saw Uncle Qiu, her expression was a bit u atural.
Uncle Qiu stepped forward in surprise, "Young Master's wife, you're really back?"
Ning Jiang stood up and nodded at Uncle Qiu: "Uncle Qiu, I haven't seen you for years. How are you?"
Uncle Qiu said guiltily: "Young Master's wife, I'm fine. I'm so happy to see you again."
Ning Jiang smiled.
Bai Ya stood up and said, "Jianguo, go in and see if di er is ready. We'll eat."
"Alright, madame."
Uncle Qiu said to Ning Jiang, "Young Madam, when we have time in the future, can I buy you a cup of tea?"
Ning Jiang hesitated for a moment before she nodded."Sure."
Uncle Qiu entered the room.
Bai Ya smiled and said, "Look, all the young and old people in this family have feelings for you."
Ning Jiang was silent as she lightly pursed the corner of her lips.
When she saw Uncle Qiu again, she felt a little guilty.
Fortunately, the current her and Luo Hanshang were no longer husband and wife.
She wasn't in the mood to argue with Qinxin. That's good.
Uncle Qiu quickly walked out and invited Bai Ya and Ning Jiang inside to eat.
The two of them returned to the villa.
At the dining table, only Luo Hanshang stood there.
Ning Jiang looked in the direction of the hidden study.
Bai Ya asked Luo Hanshang, "Your grandfather won't come out?"
"Auntie brought the dishes to him for him to eat in the house."
Ning Jiang supported her grandma to the dining table and sat her down. She said, "I'll go invite grandpa out for di er."
Bai Ya pulled her back and said, "No need, just sit down and eat."
"But??"
"It's okay, I understand your grandpa's personality. Even if he's not angry at you, he still has to do it today. Just let him be. I'll tell him later."
Ning Jiang didn't move. Luo Hanshang walked over and pressed her onto the seat.
"Listen to your grandma. In this family, your grandma's words are authority."
Luo Hanshang sat beside her. Ning Jiang also stopped pretending to get up.
Uncle Qiu, who was standing behind Bai Ya, had mixed feelings about this.
Bai Ya said, "Jianguo, don't just stand there. Sit down and eat with us."
"No, madame, I just had some, " he said, stepping forward to help the madame eat."The young master's wife is back today, you should eat more."
"Alright." Bai Ya looked at Qiu Jianguo and smiled."I'm in a good mood today. If I wasn't old, I'd have had a drink already. Hanshang, drink a few cups in place of Grandma and Jiang Er."
Ning Jiang waved her hand."No, I won't. Grandmother, I'll stop drinking."
Luo Hanshang said, "Forget about drinking. I still need to drive her back."
"Go back?" Bai Ya frowned, "Jiang Er doesn't live here? "Where are we going?"
Luo Hanshang said calmly, "It's her previous home. If you can persuade her to stay here, I'll go and pick up the wine now."
Bai Ya looked at Ning Jiang and asked, "Jiang Er, are you unwilling to live with us?"
"Grandmother, you've misunderstood. It's not that I don't want to live here, but it's just that my current position isn't suitable to live here."
"What are you standing on? If you don't want to stay here for Zhuoyi, then stay here for me." There are too many people in this Luo Garden, it's not like you need to live here by yourself, it's too lonely."
Ning Jiang said with some difficulty, "Grandma, I prefer to live by myself. Be quiet, and if you need anything in the future, you can call me. I'll come and see you. As for the suggestion to stay here, let's forget it, shall we?"
Bai Ya said helplessly, "If you say it like that, then it seems that I have made things difficult for you."
"That's not what I meant, " Ning Jiang said with a smile."I do like to be at ease."
"Okay, okay, then I won't force you. However, you must keep your word. When I invite you, you must come, okay?"
"Yes." Ning Jiang nodded and didn't say anything else.
Halfway through the meal, at the door, Auntie led a teenage girl in.
With one glance, Ning Jiang recognized that it was Luo Luo Luo.
After 5 years, Luo Luo was even more handsome now.
While changing his shoes at the door, Rolo looked at Ning Jiang at the table.
Their eyes met, and not long after, Rolo looked away.
She walked to the dining table and politely said to her grandma and Luo Hanshang, "Great Grandma, Second Uncle, I'm back."
Grandma nodded at her."Yes, good girl. How was your supplementary lesson?"
"It's pretty good."
"Have you eaten?"
"I ate, teacher's grandma cooked a lot of delicious food."
"That's good." Grandma pointed at Ning Jiang and asked, "Do you still know who this is?"
Luo Yuan looked at Ning Jiang again.
Ning Jiang smiled gently at her."Long time no see, Rolo."
Luo Luo Luo quickly lowered his eyes: "I know, it's Second Uncle's ex-wife."
Hearing Luo Luo Luo's unfamiliar tone, Ning Jiang felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.
She stood up, walked to the side of Rolo, and half-bent down."Rolo, you've grown up, you look more and more beautiful."
Rolo didn't look at her, just lightly said, "Thank you, Auntie."
Ning Jiang's heart felt even worse. It had been five years, and Rolo had become estranged from her.
Luo Hanshang said, "Rolo, go change your clothes. If you want to eat something later, come down. If you don't want to eat something, just study in the room."
"I'm not hungry. I'm not eating anymore." Then she turned and went upstairs.
Ning Jiang returned to the dining table and sat down.
Grandma gave her food. She said, "Your departure didn't deal the biggest blow to me and your grandfather. It did the most damage to Rolo."When you left, Rolo came to you every day and cried for a long time. Later on, she seemed to get used to it, so don't worry too much about her current attitude. This kid doesn't have any bad intentions."
Ning Jiang nodded."Grandma, it's alright. I won't take it to heart."
This di er could not be said to be enjoyable, but at least it was much better than what Ning Jiang had expected.
After the meal, Ning Jiang did not plan to stay any longer. She said goodbye to her grandma, went to the door of her grandpa's study, and knocked on the door.
From inside, his grandfather's unhappy voice came, "Ignore me."
Ning Jiang said hesitantly, "Grandfather, it's Ning Jiang. I'll be going back first. I'll come visit you another day."
Luo Benru snorted: "No need."
Ning Jiang took a deep breath. Bai Ya patted her on the shoulder and said, "It's alright. You can leave later. I'll go find him."
Ning Jiang smiled."Grandmother, I'll be leaving first then."
"Alright."
Ning Jiang and Luo Hanshang came out together and were about to go to the car when Uncle Qiu came out.
"Young Master's wife, please wait."
Ning Jiang turned around. Luo Hanshang was a bit surprised."Uncle Qiu, you have something to talk to her about?"
Qiu Jianguo said, "Master, Young Madam and I have not seen each other for many years. Could you allow me to talk to Young Madam in private?"
