Experience Apocalypse with the Space - Chapter 11
“Grandfather, Second Uncle is having dinner.” Yang Xi still had something to do in the afternoon, so even if Second Uncle came, she did not intend to break her habit.
“Sissy’s really capable.” Even his own mother would not be able to eat so many dishes, he was surprised that his own grandfather actually thought that it was normal, thinking that his grandfather had lived such a life for so many years, he could not help but feel sad, thought that he was too unfilial. It was because his grandfather had suppressed him and did not let him do anything, that he would not be happy, and he did not even know that his grandfather was leading such a life.
“Alright, that’s good.” Seeing the other party’s expression, Grandpa Jane couldn’t help but find it funny. If he were old, he would be able to eat as much as he liked everyday. This way of eating would be simple, but also healthy.
This meal made Grandpa Jane very happy, because his granddaughter didn’t give him the standard today. He had eaten quite a few pieces of meat, so how could he not be happy?
At first, he had thought that the old man and Qian Qian had led a too complicated life. However, after hearing about it, he felt that the taste was really good, but it was much better than those restaurants that had been groomed outside. At least the cabbage tasted like cabbage, and not like seasonings.
On the other hand, he thought, it’s fine if this old man wants to eat health food, but pulling a little girl like Qian Qian to eat this kind of food was really too excessive.
Alright, it would be great if he could get another bowl. How could it only be enough for a single bowl for each person? He still hadn’t eaten his fill, so he begged for more to make more.
After packing up, Yang Xi left the room. Although she seemed to only be going to the experiment lab to help, the professor was really taking her along and was even giving her 2000 living allowance. This was equivalent to the salary she received in her previous life for half a month.
The Second Uncle Jane was naturally busy when something happened at home. He came to Grandfather Jane’s side because he knew that there were some connections that they could not get in touch with, and that would help them reduce some of their losses. Furthermore, she had to see if his big brother, who was known to be very popular, was safe or not.
The Second Uncle Jane and Yang Xi left one after the other, causing the old mansion to become extremely quiet. Grandfather Jane no longer looked as he used to look ten years older, instead, he only went back to his room and took out the photo his wife took. When he thought about what his wife had said back then, he felt that he was really too arrogant.
“Back then, I listened to you and took a lady from the house with the scent of books, but I was unable to bring benefits to my family. Teaching children is indeed enough.” When he saw his wife happily hugging Qian Qian, he couldn’t help but to laugh. In fact, he himself clearly knew that he was a merchant, and had always placed great importance on profit. If his wife hadn’t treated his granddaughter so differently back then, he might not have noticed this child, who was considered a disgrace to Jian Family.
But more than ten years had passed, and he had become that child that he could take care of casually. In the future, when he came to protect the Jian Family’s last chance of retreat, he couldn’t help but feel a little melancholy.
“My wife, you said that the child was intelligent back then, so he definitely isn’t that level of ingrate. At that time, I even laughed at you, and you knew that as well.” Everything had developed according to what his wife had said. Even his eldest son’s wife, whom he had been very proud of at the time, was a muddy person. He didn’t know what had happened to his eldest brother all these years and couldn’t even find out that his own wife was with someone else.
He himself also liked the fresh meat, so he did not like his own wife at all. If he did not want to be looked for for for trouble, naturally, he could only turn a blind eye to the other party’s affairs, and close one eye. As long as he did not cause any trouble, he would always keep the matter a secret.
As for the little girl who was considered to be very intelligent, Yang Xi had indeed met with trouble. She had never expected that Zhong’s grandma, who had just left in the morning, would come looking for her again, and furthermore, find her experiment lab. Because Yang Xi was cooperating with others and wasn’t a main personnel, he didn’t have his own experiment lab.
“I’m going out for a bit.” Yang Xi also felt very embarrassed. An important place like the laboratory, normal people wouldn’t be able to enter, but Zhong’s grandma had the principal to accompany him, so this kind of place was like a place with no people around. In reality, this kind of behavior made people in the academic world extremely unhappy, even professors who usually liked Yang Xi frowned a little, but they knew the situation of the other party, so they didn’t let them in directly.
“Is there anything for Zhong’s grandma?” Yang Xi thought that if it wasn’t for the sake of face, she really wouldn’t have endured it anymore. I haven’t even made a decision with your grandson and you’re already investigating.
“I don’t need to go to the laboratory anymore.” Zhong’s grandma had a face full of disgust. Looking at how all of them were dressed in white with masks, she felt that this job was very embarrassing. Of course, in her heart, she felt that Yang Xi was a very embarrassing person, no matter what she did.
How could she not understand that her grandfather had brought her there on purpose yesterday. Thinking about it, if she was selected by the Zhong Family, it would be considered as leaving a way for the Jian Family to escape, and it would also help protect her along the way.
But if this condition was restricted to freedom, then she would not have the same original intention. Even if there was a limit, it was because when she married into the Zhong Family, but she was not even engaged to Zhong Haoyan yet, she would start pointing fingers at her. If something happened in the future, what was she supposed to be?
“Zhong’s grandma, I like this job. Besides, I’m still studying. After all, Yang Xi was reborn, and had space in her hands. No matter how ordinary she was, she couldn’t help but feel that she was somewhat extraordinary, how could she allow others to point things east and west?
“You.” Zhong’s grandma did not expect this illegitimate daughter to dare to talk back to her, so she was naturally unhappy. How could she possibly tolerate this and directly scold him, making him only listen to her words, but when she thought of Zhong’s grandpa’s warning, she could not help but take back her words, the fire in her eyes did not decrease in the slightest.
“Sure, don’t interact with those men too much in the future.” Zhong’s grandma had wanted to say something or do something, but seeing Yang Xi’s appearance, it was unlikely that she would be the only one. If anything were to spread to Zhong’s grandpa at that time, she would not be able to get anything good.
The principal was Zhong’s grandma’s old friend, but since their statuses were a lot different now, he had always been trying to please her. He never thought that Zhong Family’s future granddaughter-in-law would be in their school, it was really like picking up a treasure.
“Yang Xi, study hard.” The principal wanted to curry favor with him, but he didn’t know what to say to such a student. He could only say something before leaving in a hurry.
Luckily, Yang Xi herself did not manage to bring in her identity, so it wasn’t that interesting. She could just treat it as the principal’s slap and leave the matter at that, and returned to the laboratory. It was still quiet there, and because she herself was paying attention, she did not make a sound, nor did she notice that she had returned.
However, Xu Siyuan had always been paying attention to her and was a little depressed in his heart when he saw that he was safe. If that old lady had acted now, he would also be able to openly stand out and not lose out to his just because of his little timidness.
But now he regretted it. So what if it was just a formality? He always had the chance to make the other party fall in love with him. Why did he have to choose a suitable opportunity because of gains and losses?
Before Xu Siyuan could even think about it clearly, something happened in the company that was in charge of Jian Family. All those large and small shareholders came to look for us, and the result that Jian Family gave was that when you were participating in the scam with Jian Family, you would not find us laughable.
The shareholders did not know what to say, in the future, they would agree to Mrs. Jian’s request, because her shares in Jian’s was not low, and she would have the chance to become the decision maker for the Jian’s. At that time, they would have made the right choice, but they did not expect the Mrs. Jian to be so crazy as to directly destroy the Jian’s, it would be weird if they did not rush it, and this was not the time to go to Mrs. Jian.
With the addition of all the shareholders, the people of Jian Family were able to quickly earn money and return. This caused the people of Jian’s to quickly face bankruptcy.
A week later, news of Zhong Family’s well-equipped engagement had also appeared in all the major newspapers. They all stopped their actions, not daring to make a move, as the identity of the Zhong Family could not be considered a secret, and only those who knew would not reveal it.
Yang Xi had just returned to Jian Family after trying out the clothes, and did not expect to meet Jian Ning at this time. No, that’s not right, Jian Ning had actually purposely stopped her here. Because the house was currently in chaos, her mother was arguing with her grandfather. Second Uncle and elder brother rushed over, so they naturally did not have the mood to care about her. As a result, she came to vent her anger.
She couldn’t accept this kind of thing, and also realized that the Zhong Family was not as simple as it seemed on the surface. She had suffered a loss, and naturally could not admit it, so she had to find this shameless woman to take it back.
As for whether or not she would accept them after returning, that was hard to say. After all, she was a person with true love, so how could she have any ill thoughts towards other men?
“Little bitch, go and tell the Zhong Family right away, you’re not going to get married.” Seeing Yang Xi directly walk over and size him up, Jian Ning felt that there was nothing much to see anymore. Naturally, she felt that she was less attractive to the man and more unsightly to him.
Of course, the reason why she ignored him was mainly because his face was too beautiful. In her entire life, she had never seen anyone more good-looking than her, so she had no choice but to ignore him. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have that kind of confidence.
