The car entered the courtyard and stopped outside the stairs of the entrance .
Wen Xuxu unfastened her seatbelt and got out of the car to open the trunk, retrieving the two boxes inside .
Jiang Zhuoheng followed after and bent down to carry the boxes . Both of them walked towards the house together .
"Grandmother!"
There was no one in the living room when they entered . Wen Xuxu changed her shoes, walked to the staircase and yelled in the direction of the upper floor .
When she heard her yell, Wang Daqin appeared at the landing of the stairs on the second floor .
"Xuxu is here . " She glanced at Wen Xuxu then glanced at Jiang Zhuoheng who stood beside her . Her smile froze on her face for a split second before she continued with a chuckle, "Ah Heng is here as well . "
Holding the handrail of the staircase, she quickly descended .
She was 80 years old but her nimble footsteps were like that of a younger person .
Once she descended the stairs, she asked Aunt Zhang to serve them tea . Then she held Xuxu's hand and led her to the sofa .
"Ah Heng, take a seat . Why are you standing there?" Wang Daqin and Xuxu sat down, with the former beckoning Jiang Zhuoheng to sit down as well .
She asked him about his family . "What is your grandfather doing recently? I haven't heard from him in days . "
Jiang Zhuoheng smiled and replied, "He's been going to Grandfather Ming's place to play cards . "
When Wang Daqin heard him, she was filled with jealousy and envy . "That old fellow Ming Zhongsheng is enjoying life now . Both his granddaughter-in-laws are so capable . He doesn't have to handle the company matters personally now . "
The group of elderly folks who had belonged to the same generation and had deeper ties with each other didn't have much to say about their sons . But when it came to their grandsons, there would definitely be endless comparisons .
Everyone yearned for their grandson to be the most outstanding and capable when compared to the rest .
If someone's grandson suddenly had a tiny achievement, they would love to call and inform every single one of their friends .
Jiang Zhuoheng heard Wang Daqin's words and he shot a glance at her hand which was holding Wen Xuxu's tightly . The corners of his mouth had a meaningful smile .
He replied, "Your first and second daughter-in-laws are capable as well . "
Wang Daqin sighed . "Sigh, there are still flaws in an otherwise perfect thing!"
After that, she turned to look at Wen Xuxu . The more she looked at her, the sadder she felt and the more reluctant she was to part with her .
Her thoughts were too obvious and it made Wen Xuxu feel slightly embarrassed . "Grandmother, there is nothing you lack . Both of your granddaughter-in-laws are very capable too . Both First Uncle Yan and Second Uncle Yan are filial and quite reliable . You're very blessed . "
The words were meant to coax her but Wang Daqin's expression changed instantly . "Hmph . It makes me furious when you mention the name Yan Shanghong . He doesn't need me to worry about him? A divorce at his age, how shameful . "
Wen Xuxu was speechless . . .
Her mouth deserved to be smacked for rubbing someone's nose in it .
Both Aunt Mu Li and Second Uncle Yan used to be so loving in the past that she had forgotten about their divorce .
She pointed hastily at the two boxes she had brought from the office to change the topic . "Grandmother, I have formally tendered my resignation today and President Yan has approved . Since the new secretary hasn't reported for work yet, I brought over all the handover documents . I prepared them carefully, please pass them to the new secretary . "
After hearing this, Wang Daqin became sorrowful once again . "Xuxu, are you not going to reconsider?"
She was still unwilling to part with her; who else could be better than Xuxu whom she had raised since she was a child?
"Grandmother, I won't be so busy in future . That means I'll have more time to accompany you, right?" Wen Xuxu couldn't bear to disappoint the old lady . She held her hand and consoled her . "In future, I'll come by every other day for meals . If you want to travel, don't forget to bring me along as well . "
