189 Chapter 189 reunion
PEI Yi’s luggage was in a mess after rummaging through it. He said that he would help to unpack the luggage, but he could not even take out a single piece of clothing.
Jiang se gently patted the lotion on her face and squatted down to help as well.
He felt a little guilty. Afraid that she would notice what he had done, he quickly tidied himself up. While Jiang se was changing, he sneaked outside to make a call. He looked much calmer when he came in.
Jiang se had been to the PEI family’s house many times in the past. For some reason, the PEI family liked her a lot back then. In particular, grandma PEI and PEI Yi’s mother treated her very well. They would often invite her to the house to play.
At this moment, Jiang se could naturally guess that the PEI family valued her so much probably because of PEI Yi. Their love for her extended to her as well.
This was Jiang SE’s first time visiting the PEI residence after her reincarnation. It was still early when she arrived. When PEI Yi parked his car in the garage, the sound of a car engine could be heard from outside. Clearly, someone had arrived.
Every spring Festival, many people wanted to visit the PEI family, but the PEI family kept a low profile and only allowed old master PEI’s former subordinates to come in contact with them.
Jiang se and PEI Yi entered the elevator and went upstairs first. The PEI family’s residence occupied a large area. The garage was located on the second-floor basement. They had to walk through the courtyard to reach the main courtyard.
The two of them exited the elevator. PEI Yi reached out and tidied her long hair. Jiang se turned around and smiled at him. She thanked him. From the corner of her eye, she saw Feng Zhongliang, who was dressed in a dark blue Chinese tunic suit and holding onto a walking stick, by a flower bed not far away.
Although she had agreed to PEI Yi’s visit at the PEI residence because he had mentioned that Feng Zhongliang would be coming today, when Jiang se saw Feng Zhongliang in person, she still felt a lump in her throat and tears welling up in her eyes.
“Are you cold, Sese?”
PEI Yi held her hand and asked her in a low voice, but she did not answer him. PEI Yi lowered his head to look at her. The tip of her nose was slightly red, and her eyes seemed to be glistening with tears as she stared in the direction behind him.
“Sese, Sese?”
“What?”
He called out to her twice before Jiang se seemed to react. She looked up, but she did not look at him.
PEI Yi followed Jiang SE’s gaze and saw the old man by the flower bed. He turned around with a rather serious expression. When he saw PEI Yi, the tensed lines on his face softened slightly. He held his walking stick and was about to walk over.
Recalling the sound of the car they heard when they left the garage, it was probably Feng Zhongliang’s car. The driver dropped him off outside, then parked the car and came to pick him up.
His expression was as stern as Jiang se remembered him to be. His sparse white hair was combed back, revealing his stern face. However, it had been more than half a year since they last met, and he seemed to be in low spirits. With the help of his walking stick, he seemed to have difficulty taking a single step.
Jiang se paused for a moment before she jogged forward to help him up.
He was getting on in years. He was almost 70 years old. When he participated in the revolution in his early years, one of his legs was injured. At that time, the sanitary conditions were not good, and the bullet fragments were left in his bones, leaving behind residual effects. Every winter or rainy season, he would always feel sore in his legs and feet, and he could not use any strength.
In the past, when he went to the PEI family’s house to pay a New Year’s visit, she was always by his side and reached out to help him.
“Please be careful.”
Jiang se reached out to hold his arm and reminded him softly.
Upon closer inspection, Jiang se noticed that Feng Zhongliang had lost some weight. His grip on the walking stick seemed to be a little tight. His hands did not look like those of a pampered man. The blood vessels on the back of his hands were protruding like deep ravines. His skin was wrinkled and slightly rough.
He once said that he was born without a pair of rich hands. When he was young, an elder in his hometown said that he had a pair of hands that had worked hard for his entire life and could not be idle.
Feng Zhongliang couldn’t stay idle either. The Feng family had planted a lot of flowers and plants. In his later years, he liked to take care of the flowers and plants. He took care of every grass and tree himself and was often injured.
When Jiang se helped him up, her movements were natural. Feng Zhongliang was stunned for a moment. When he came back to his senses, he smiled and thanked her. His gaze then fell on Jiang se.
Feng Zhongliang had obviously seen how she and PEI Yi were holding hands earlier. He could vaguely guess her identity now. When he saw PEI Yi, he said seriously, ”
“Yi is back.”
“Grandpa Feng.”
PEI Yi glanced at Jiang se first. She lowered her head and reached out to hook her hair that was hanging by the side of her face. This scene reminded him of the past when Feng Zhongliang came to the PEI family every year. Feng Nan would always help him.
He did not seem to be used to receiving help from others. However, for PEI Yi’s sake, he allowed Jiang se to help him up for a while before he silently retracted his hand.
Jiang se continued to support him. In reality, she had already expected this outcome. She had been reborn. If this had not happened to her, others would not have been able to imagine it.
It was normal for Feng Zhongliang to treat her this way.
However, even though she understood, she still took a long time before she retracted her hand. She closed her eyes and held back the tears in her eyes.
“This is my girlfriend, Jiang se.”
As he introduced them to Feng Zhongliang, Feng Zhongliang’s expression became a little complicated.
In the past, PEI Yi’s feelings for Feng Nan were probably known to all the prestigious families in the imperial capital.
He felt that it was a pity that his granddaughter had been too ignorant. He knew very well what kind of person PEI Yi was and what kind of family background the PEI family had.
PEI Yi was so good to Feng Nan. If his granddaughter was a little smarter in this aspect, she would have already achieved a positive result and her future would not be bad.
Unfortunately, the younger generation in Hong Kong was too impatient. After Feng Nan met Zhao junhan, he was influenced by someone and his temperament changed greatly.
He felt a little regretful. PEI Yi had brought the girl back to the PEI family, and he was probably serious about visiting her parents. He felt a little pity for his granddaughter, but he smiled and asked, ”
“The old general will be very happy to see this.”
PEI Yi laughed too and looked at Feng Zhongliang meaningfully.
“You’re not happy?”
He clearly did not expect PEI Yi to ask such a question. He was stunned for a moment before he quickly responded, ”
“Happy? Haha, of course I’m happy for you, Yi.”
Jiang se understood what PEI Yi meant. She could not help but purse her lips and did not say anything.
The wind was strong outside, and Feng Zhongliang’s legs still had an old illness. He had been standing for a while, but it was all thanks to him.
He had a stubborn temper and refused to listen to others. He had many rules and was very strict. She did not say anything, but PEI Yi understood what she was thinking. He reached out to help Feng Zhongliang up.
“Grandpa Feng, I’ll help you in first. If grandfather knows you’re here, he’ll be very happy.”
Feng Zhongliang waved his hand, ”
“I don’t need you to help me. I stood there for a while and little Liu came over.”
