Reborn as a Mortal Heiress Pampered by Big Shots-Chapter 138: Grandpa Has Changed!
Chapter 138: Grandpa Has Changed!
Meanwhile, at the Xia Family’s place.
Xia Yuzheng’s cold was finally cured by the western medicine Mother Wu had brought.
He spread out a local financial newspaper: "Did Yeye leave early in the morning again? Was she with the classmate who had a cold? Tell her to be careful not to catch a cold herself."
Xu He laughed, "Don’t worry, our Little Tiangao has good immunity. It’s you I’m more concerned about. I dress you warmly every day, how did you catch a cold after all?"
Xia Yuzheng felt sad: "No matter how good the clothes are, they still let the wind through!"
"Let the wind through?" Xu He did not understand and walked around him: "Where? Shall I ask Mother Wu to patch it up?"
Xia Yuzheng turned his face away, refusing to communicate.
He turned the page of the newspaper, and right on the front page headline, he saw the big characters "Jiang Corporation."
The content below was probably analyzing the spokespersons for Jiang Corporation’s next season’s new products. Many celebrities were vying for a piece, and naturally, the media was interested in reporting on it.
Alas.
While all the big stars were clamoring to be the spokesperson for Jiang Corporation, the Xia Family was struggling to find a suitable one.
With such a disparity in strength, it looked like the Xia Family’s bidding for the first half of the year would be in jeopardy.
Knowing the enemy and knowing oneself ensured no peril in a hundred battles; he had to find a way to send someone to gather some intelligence...
After having dinner with Xia Ye, Tian Hanwen took her to the Beijing Library.
He knew of several sets of classic review materials he wanted to buy for the eldest.
Although these tutoring materials might not necessarily help his eldest much, he still had to fulfill his duties as a principal.
Xia Ye came with him because she wanted to see if there was anything suitable for the little darlings in class nineteen.
Tian Hanwen walked past rows of tall bookshelves, clutching a few review materials and dressed in a Sun Yat-sen suit, very conspicuous.
"Principal Tian!"
Engrossed in searching for books, Tian Hanwen ran into a female student. He couldn’t possibly remember every student’s face, but those who boldly greeted him outside were generally students from the honors classes.
He smiled and nodded, and the female student smiled back, "Are you buying review materials for Tian Ye?"
"The principal is..." Tian Hanwen turned to look for Xia Ye, but found that she was browsing another row of bookshelves and didn’t explain further, just nodded: "Yes, that’s right."
The female student showed an envious expression, bowed to him, and left.
On Monday, when school resumed, in class one’s classroom.
The music for the end of the fourth period in the morning played, and Tian Ye was organizing his classroom notes from the previous class.
A female classmate passed by and glanced at his notes: "Eh? Why didn’t you bring the review materials your grandfather bought for you?"
It was the same female student who had encountered Tian Hanwen at the library the day before.
Tian Ye looked slightly puzzled: "What review materials?"
The female classmate said, "I ran into Principal Tian at the library yesterday. He selected a few kinds of review materials for you. I’m so envious of you, Principal Tian cares so much about you, no wonder you’re good at studying."
Tian Ye shook his head, his eyebrows and eyes lowered, displaying a bit of helplessness.
He put away his classroom notes, picked up his meal card, and headed to the cafeteria.
Because his grandfather was the principal of First Middle School, he had always placed a high emphasis on his studies since he was a child.
At home, he would always watch over him.
Every time he watched videos on Yeshen, he had to do it in secret. If his grandfather found out, he was sure to face severe criticism.
It was one thing to be supervised as a child, but now that he was so grown up and knew how to study on his own.
Tian Ye felt that there was really no need for his grandfather to still, like before, focus all his attention on him, solely intent on how to nurture him.
After getting his meal from the cafeteria, Tian Ye chose to take it to go, deciding to have lunch with his grandfather and have a heart-to-heart talk with him.
Although he was the only son in three generations of the Tian Family, in his grandfather’s eyes, he was the most precious and treasured grandson.
But if this continued, he would suffocate!
As he approached the principal’s office, he just saw the principal’s assistant, Feng Jian, walking towards him with a tray of tea.
"Tian Ye? What brings you here?" Feng Jian sounded quite astonished.
Tian Ye nodded and spoke reluctantly, "Grandfather told me last time to join him more often for meals when I’m free."
Tian Hanwen had indeed said this before, but it was before he recognized his elder brother; he had mentioned feeling old and lonely and wanted his grandson to join him for meals more often.
After saying that, Tian Ye caught a strong scent of fruit tea and glanced at the tea tray in Feng Jian’s hands: "My grandfather really dislikes fruit tea, how could you not know that as his assistant?"
People when they get older tend to be more stubborn about certain things. Last time, his grandfather was upset at home with his father over this matter, saying that fruit tea was something only little girls would drink.
So Tian Ye remembered it very clearly.
"This is actually..." Feng Jian just opened his mouth to explain when the principal’s office door opened.
Tian Hanwen, looking impatient, stretched out his hand to take the tray of fruit tea: "What’s going on? Murmuring at the door, not even bringing in the tea when it’s ready?"
Feng Jian: "Sor-, sorry."
Tian Hanwen took the tea into the room, and as he turned around to face inside, his expression immediately blossomed.
Tian Ye followed his glance inside...
Xia Ye was sitting next to the principal’s office chair, his lunch box set aside, ready to eat.
Why was it Xia Ye again?
This Xia Ye, he really loved clinging to Grandfather.
A stack of brand-new documents was on the desk.
Tian Ye knew that this must be the set his grandfather had bought for him.
He walked over and under his grandfather’s puzzled gaze, he picked up a document, flipped through it roughly, and said awkwardly, "Grandfather, please don’t buy me revision materials anymore. This is the last time, no exceptions..."
As he spoke, he set down his lunch box and picked up the whole stack of documents, ready to stuff them into his backpack behind him.
"Grandson, what are you doing?" Tian Hanwen immediately stood up, took back the documents from his hands, and put the lunch box back into his hands: "Who said they were for you? Aren’t you the one who likes least being managed by Grandfather? These materials, Grandfather bought them for Yeye."
Tian Ye: ??
For Xia Ye?
Before he could respond, his grandfather stood up and personally poured a cup of fruit tea for Xia Ye: "Try the fruit tea Feng Jian brewed, how does it taste?"
Xia Ye took it and tasted it normally: "It’s quite good, not bitter at all. But you don’t need to go to such trouble for me, I’m happy to drink whatever you usually drink."
Tian Hanwen made a "tsk" sound and said from the side of his mouth, "No trouble at all, not at all! Grandfather loves drinking fruit tea. From now on, whenever you come for a meal, there will be plenty of fruit tea!"
Tian Ye: ...
Grandfather, you lied!
"Grandfather, don’t you usually..."
The discordant voice rang out, and only then did Tian Hanwen realize his grandson was still standing there; he said with a forced smile, "Tian Ye, do you have anything else?"
A minute later, carrying his own lunch box and chased out the door by his grandfather, Tian Ye: ......
