Jiang Xiao meets Old Madam Wei, who expresses her desire to see her grandson married, and laments that he shows no interest in young women. She then turns her attention to Ding Haijing, asking if he has a girlfriend, which seems to annoy him.

His father was originally anxious, but ever since he learned that he was Jiang Xiao’s bodyguard, he was no longer anxious.

He said, let him protect Jiang Xiao well first, the marriage thing can wait, don’t get distracted. If he has a wife, he’ll have to sweet-talk her and have kids, where would he find the energy to protect Jiang Xiao well?

Listen, listen, is this what a father would say?

He didn’t even tell Jiang Xiao his thoughts, to prevent this girl from using his father as leverage later on.

Ding Haijing felt utterly depressed.

"He can also take his time," he could only say this.

"I heard Wei Yixi was going to return to the Capital City at some point, thought he was coming with you all. Is he still at sea?"

Hearing Old Madam Wei ask this, Jiang Xiao was taken aback.

So Old Madam Wei thought Wei Yixi would come with them? No wonder she was excitedly waiting.

Looks like she doesn’t know that Wei Yixi was also sent to Ke Ku Li.

Director Wei surely knows, since he’s hiding it from her, he probably doesn’t want her to worry.

They chatted with Old Madam Wei for a while, and Old Madam Wei absentmindedly pressed her head.

Jiang Xiao remembered what Director Wei said to her and immediately brought out the tea, "Old Madam Wei, this is tea from our own tea house, let me brew a pot for you? You might feel a bit more comfortable after drinking it."

"Is this medicinal tea?"

"You could say that."

"Well, I can’t have that. The doctor doesn’t allow me to drink medicinal tea." Surprisingly, Old Madam Wei refused.

Ding Haijing glanced and said, "Grandma Wei, this is good tea, we drink it often too. You can ask Director Wei, he’ll surely tell you it’s fine to drink the tea Xiao Chiang brewed."

"Oh, by the way," Old Madam Wei looked at Jiang Xiao, and said, "I heard you are Doctor Chen Baoshen’s apprentice."

"Not exactly, it’s just that Grandpa Chen likes me, so he taught me a lot. Old Madam Wei, anyone can drink this tea, even if you’re taking medication, it’s fine, Grandpa Chen drinks it every day."

"Doctor Chen drinks it too?"

Upon hearing Chen Baoshen also drinks this tea, Old Madam Wei nodded her head and said, "Alright then, let’s give it a try."

Only then did Jiang Xiao feel, even though Old Madam Wei warmly greeted her, she didn’t really trust her, but when Director Wei and Chen Baoshen were mentioned, she was willing to believe.

However, after drinking a cup of tea, Old Madam Wei’s attitude clearly changed.

"Oh? This tea is really delicious, let me have another cup."

After drinking three cups of tea, she found her headache relieved a lot.

Only then did Old Madam Wei genuinely smile.

"No wonder my son still praises you," Old Madam Wei laughed and said, "Xiao Chiang, to be honest with you, I was a bit mad at you before!"

Jiang Xiao was taken aback.

Old Madam Wei snorted lightly and said, "I just don’t understand what’s better about that Meng family’s boy compared to our Yixi? Why did you choose that Meng boy and not our Yixi? So, I was a bit mad at you."

Jiang Xiao felt amused and exasperated hearing this.

So that’s why.

This old lady was upset with her.

But in the eyes of elders, indeed, their own children are the best.

But isn’t she innocent? She hasn’t even met Wei Yixi; how could she choose him?

"Old Madam Wei, when I got engaged with Brother Xinian, I hadn’t even met Junior Alliance Officer Wei, nor did I compare them."
