Chapter 1153 Ordinary Old Man

“No,” Grandma Jian replied almost immediately. It was as though she didn’t even consider Grandpa Jian’s words.

Grandpa Jian replied sternly: “I get the younger ones heading over to see Yiling but you’re not in good health. Traveling over there will be very energy-consuming.”

“Old man, what do you mean by that?! My darling is back and you don’t want me to see her?! If I don’t see her, I can’t eat well or rest well. Naturally, my health wouldn’t get better,” Grandma Jian replied with an upset expression on her face.

She hadn’t seen her darling girl for two entire years.

This was her precious granddaughter that went missing for two entire years! Did she grow taller? Was she skinner? Initially, she didn’t want to disturb them from getting better.

However, now that they were better, why wasn’t she allowed to go there!

When Grandpa Jian heard these words, a bitter feeling appeared in his heart as well.

And thus, he let out a long sigh and said: “Okay, okay. Let’s all go on Saturday. Go and book a plane for this.”

“Okay!” Grandma Jian agreed immediately. “Old man, we agreed on this. You’re not allowed to go back on your words!”

Grandpa Jian: “Don’t worry about that. I won’t go back on my words. Let Yuncheng and the others take care of their work in advance to make some time on the weekends.”

Grandma Jian happily lifted up her great-grandson and said: “Little Dandan, we’re going to see your auntie soon!”

“Auntie! Pretty! Want!” the little boy cried out as he waved his little fists.

“Yes, yes, your auntie is pretty,” Grandma Jian said in amusement.

Whilst Grandma Jian was playing around with her great-grandson, Grandpa Jian was a little worried. He called Jian Yuncheng into his study room.

“Yuncheng, did you find any information on Mr. Mu?”

Two years ago, when Jian Yiling suddenly disappeared, the Jian family and the Zhai family focused all of their attention on this matter. And thus, they did not deal with Mr. Mu’s case. On the other hand, Mr. Mu hired an incredible lawyer to defend him. In addition, he found a scapegoat to take all of the blame, and eventually, he was acquitted in court as there was insufficient information.

Grandpa Jian was worried about Mr. Mu taking revenge on Jian Yiling.

This was another reason why the Zhai family and the Jian family didn’t head off to see Jian Yiling immediately. They didn’t want Mr. Mu to learn about Jian Yiling’s whereabouts.

“Not for now,” Jian Yuncheng replied. Recently, he put a lot of manpower into searching for Mr. Mu’s whereabouts.

However, there was an incredible amount of power behind this man.

“Ahhh, Mu Ruohai is crazy! He will definitely do something insane!” Grandpa Jian cursed.

Upon hearing this, the look in Jian Yuncheng’s eyes darkened with worry.

As requested, Jin Feng reported Zhai Yunsheng and Jian Yiling’s actions to Mu Ruohai every day.

Apart from interacting with Grandpa Sun quite often, Jin Feng didn’t manage to get any other information.

“Who is that old man?” Mu Ruohai asked Jin

Feng.

“He’s just an old man who lives in the mountains,” Jin Feng said with disdain.

In Jin Feng’s recollection, there was nothing special about Grandpa Sun other than he was incredibly ill-tempered. “Is that it?”

“Yep, I grew up in Jinshui Village. I’m very confident that he’s just an old man with a stinky temper.” “Ah alright.” If he was just an ordinary old man, Mu Ruohai didn’t have to be concerned about him.
