Chapter 315: I will be proud of such praise
If I remember correctly, Xu Xiaofang came back and said she had made a new friend, so it was within half an hour, right? So, they found out in such a short time?
What kind of efficiency is needed to achieve this?
Besides, it's only seven or eight o'clock now. Most "detectives" are not at work yet, right?
"Nannan, you are not trying to make my old lady happy, are you?"
"Grandma." Lin Yaoyao put her arms around Grandma Lin's. "Even if I'm trying to cheer you up, I'm absolutely sincere and wouldn't lie. Don't worry, if we do find out, after breakfast we'll go meet that mother's 'new friend'."
Lin Yaoyao's expression was very serious when she spoke, and her eyes were firm and clear, and it didn't seem like she was joking or lying at all.
Grandma Lin trusted and liked her granddaughter very much. Without thinking too much, she smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I knew my daughter was promising, had many friends, and was very capable. Look, now she's in trouble, and it's true."
"Grandma, aren't you afraid that I'll become proud when you praise me like that?" Lin Yaoyao teased Grandma Lin.
Grandma Lin's smile became even brighter. "It's good to be proud. My daughter has this confidence. Most people don't have it."
Lin Yaoyao: “…”
This is probably the legendary "spoiling".
Fortunately, she is indeed 'stable' and 'capable' and will not let her grandma down!
...
After breakfast, Lin Yaoyao drove her grandmother away from Jade No. 1 and went directly to find Xu Xiaofang’s new friend.
Grandma Lin sat in the car, watching the scenery rapidly receding outside the window. Various thoughts kept flowing in her mind, and her expression became more and more solemn. Finally, perhaps she could no longer hold it in, so she carefully called Lin Yaoyao and asked, "Nannan, do we really have to go look for her? Isn't that impolite?"
What Grandma Lin really wanted to say was: We came to their house so abruptly, what if your mother gets angry when she finds out?
Although Grandma Lin did not say what she was thinking, Lin Yaoyao could roughly guess what she was really thinking from her expression and tone of voice.
To be honest: if I go to meet her 'new friend' without telling her, she's definitely going to be angry. But... there's no way I'm not going to meet her just because I'm afraid she's going to be angry. There are some things you just do even though you know you shouldn't do them.
Lin Yaoyao parked the car on the side of the road, turned around and looked at Grandma Lin, and asked her very seriously, "Grandma, Mom treats him differently. You don't want him to meet bad people and get cheated, right?"
Of course, Grandma Lin didn't want Xu Xiaofang to be deceived. She had long regarded her daughter-in-law Xu Xiaofang as her own daughter. Like Lin Yaoyao, she hoped that Xu Xiaofang could live a good life.
Therefore, as soon as Lin Yaoyao finished asking, Grandma Lin shook her head like a rattle, "I hope Xiaofang is doing well."
Lin Yaoyao: "That's all! Grandma, just relax. If Mom's new friend is someone worthy of trust, he won't be angry if we go to him so abruptly, and he won't take his anger out on Mom. If he's not worthy of trust, you can say whatever you want. Anyway, he and Mom have no future..."
Lin Yaoyao's last four words, "no future", were dragged out with a long tail tone.
Grandma Lin listened, thought for a few seconds, and nodded in agreement. "Nannan, you are right. I am just worrying too much. Let's go quickly, otherwise he will be out of the house and we will be disappointed."
Lin Yaoyao: "Okay, grandma."
The car started again and drove towards the destination.
Grandma Lin was silent for only three minutes before she spoke again, "Nannan, what's the name of that person your friend found out? What job is he doing? Where is he from? Tell me so I can have a better idea."
Lin Yaoyao: "Wang Jiansui, 48 years old, divorced with a son, a professor at Qingcheng Medical College, involved in several scientific research projects, also owns a pharmaceutical company, has a car, a house, and savings..."
"Nannan." Lin Yaoyao was talking when Grandma Lin suddenly interrupted her and asked nervously, "You are not kidding me, are you? A university professor has a company, a car, a house, and savings???"
"Grandma, I'm not joking, it's all true." Lin Yaoyao answered Grandma Lin truthfully.
To be honest, when Lin Yaoyao first saw the information about Wang Jiansui, she was shocked.
Lin Yaoyao was quite clear about her mother's situation. Yes, her mother was very good, and in her heart, she was the best person in the world.
But...it's just what she feels.
If Xu Xiaofang were put on the marriage market, a middle-aged rural woman with little education, divorced and a daughter, it would be impossible for her to attract a man like Wang Jiansui no matter how hard she tried.
The phrase "equally matched" is never a joke.
Being well matched in social status and strength is a necessary condition for a relationship to last long.
But between my mother and Wang Jiansui, this necessary condition obviously does not exist!!!
Grandma Lin thought for a while, then asked Lin Yaoyao, "Nannan, what does he like about your mother? Grandma is not saying that your mother is bad, it's just...it's just..."
"Grandma, you don't have to explain. I share your concerns." Grandma Lin hesitated for a long time, unable to finish a sentence. Lin Yaoyao interrupted her and said seriously, "I'm also curious about what Professor Wang thinks."
Grandma Lin sighed for a long time before muttering softly, "It seems that only by meeting him in person can we know the answer."
"Nannan, drive faster."
Grandma Lin was really worried that she would miss it if she went too late.
Lin Yaoyao said: "Okay."
Lin Yaoyao thought to herself: Grandma, don’t worry, we won’t miss anything, we will definitely be able to meet Professor Wang Jiansui today!
"99, you promised me that you would leave the person at home until we get there."
Baofu99: "Don't worry, host, leave it to this system!"
Half an hour later!
Lin Yaoyao parked the car in the parking lot inside Wang Jianshou's villa, and then pushed Grandma Lin out of the car.
The housekeeper had been waiting for a long time. When he saw them get out of the car, he quickly stepped forward with a respectful look on his face. "You are the investor who plans to invest in Ping An Pharmaceutical, Miss Lin, right? I am the housekeeper here, Old Wu."
Lin Yaoyao smiled and said, "Hello, Butler Wu. I'm Lin Yaoyao. May I ask if Professor Wang is home?"
The housekeeper nodded rapidly, "The professor knew you were coming and was waiting for you at home. Miss Lin, please come in."
As he spoke, the housekeeper finally noticed Grandma Lin sitting in the wheelchair, and said with embarrassment, "Miss Lin, who is this old lady?"
"My grandma." Lin Yaoyao said as she pushed Grandma Lin forward.
The housekeeper hurriedly caught up, "Miss Lin, you are so filial. These days, there are not many people who go out to discuss work without bringing their elders with them."
What the butler said is true.
In today's society, everyone is busy, wages are low, and life is stressful. Elderly people like Grandma Lin, who are paralyzed on one side of their body, are generally considered a burden.
A burden is always annoying.
It’s annoying enough to serve him at home, let alone taking him out to work with me?
The impression Lin Yaoyao left on the housekeeper was the best it could be.
She is so young, so beautiful, and so filial. She is truly one in a million... no, one in tens of millions of good girls.
"It's a pity that most people don't have this blessing. They can't have a filial and well-behaved daughter like you."
Lin Yaoyao smiled but said nothing. However, Grandma Lin took the initiative to talk to her, "Butler Wu, you've been with Professor Wang for a long time, right?"
Butler Wu: "Madam, you have a good eye. I have been following the professor since I was 18, which is 30 years ago."
Grandma Lin nodded thoughtfully, muttering to herself, "Since this housekeeper Wu is Professor Wang's old man, he must know everything about Professor Wang. I'll have to ask my daughter to spend some money to get some information from him about Professor Wang and his ex-wife."
Grandma Lin was not worried about Butler Wu's tight-lipped nature.
As the saying goes: Money makes the world go round.
In this world, there are only prices that cannot be negotiated, but there are no matters that cannot be negotiated.
Lin Yaoyao didn't know what Grandma Lin was thinking. She looked around and took in the environment inside Wang Jiansui's villa.
The more Lin Yaoyao looked, the more she felt that Wang Jiansui had some taste and was definitely a person who understood life.
Hehe...it seems that mom's vision has not been affected by her dead dad at all, which is very nice.
Butler Wu brought Lin Yaoyao and Grandma Lin into the living room and saw Wang Jiansui sitting at the coffee table, making tea.
He was a graceful middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses and a well-tailored suit that looked very charming on him.
The four words "gentle and elegant" are almost integrated with him.
Just one look and Lin Yaoyao got a definite answer: Wang Jiansui is a middle-aged man who is knowledgeable, cultured, wealthy, prestigious, elegant and calm.
The fact that such a man could fall in love with Xu Xiaofang could be said to be...the Xu family's ancestors were so happy.
Lin Yaoyao had a lot of thoughts in her mind, but she looked relatively calm.
But Grandma Lin...that's quite different.
She stared at Wang Jiansui with all kinds of thoughts running through her mind.
Oh my god, Professor Wang is obviously not an ordinary person. He is such an outstanding man, so what kind of woman can he not find? Why did he fall for Xiaofang?
Yes, Grandma Lin admitted that Xu Xiaofang had changed a lot since coming to Qingcheng, and had completely drawn a line between herself and the past, but that was only on the surface.
Grandma Lin knew clearly that Xu Xiaofang was still the timid and cowardly Xu Xiaofang at heart.
She...hasn't adapted to her new identity yet - Lin, the rich woman, Yaoyao's mother!
Therefore, no one knows better than Grandma Lin that Xu Xiaofang and Wang Jiansui are not a match now. Perhaps one day, she can become a match for Wang Jiansui, but... definitely not now.
