345 Chapter 345 ulterior motives

Feng Zhongliang’s scrutinizing gaze landed on Jiang se. She was still looking up and joking with mother Wang. Her eyes were watery, and when she smiled, she revealed a few neat teeth. Her eyes were bright and her teeth were white. She was very beautiful.

Her voice was gentle when she spoke, and her every move showed that she was from a humble family. She seemed to have a sense of propriety.

It could be said that other than the first time she had followed PEI Yi to the Feng family, when she had rashly reached out to help him up, which Feng Zhongliang had thought was a little impolite, the way she spoke and did things after that had been to his liking. She was like a well-educated young lady.

Her appearance did not resemble Feng Nan at all. Although her eating habits and preferences were similar to Feng Nan’s, it was probably a coincidence.

“Grandpa, Grandpa Yingluo!”

Feng Zhongliang held the stone tightly, his hands still shaking.

The heater was turned on in the room, but a cold air still rose from the soles of his feet and spread into his limbs and bones.

He was old, what kind of things had he not experienced? When he joined the revolutionary Army in his early years, he had killed Japanese invaders and had experienced many storms in his life.

For two unrelated people to have such similar tastes, was it intentional or a coincidence? If she had the intention, what did she want by doing this? If it was a coincidence, why would there be such a coincidence?

His cheeks were tense as he gritted his teeth and pondered. Jiang se was still calling for him. In his daze, he felt as if Feng Nan had returned.

“Ah?”

Feng Zhongliang came to a realization. Jiang se was still a little curious.

“What are you thinking about? I’ve been calling you for a long time.”

“I’m fine.” He chuckled and rubbed the stone with his fingers. He calmed himself down and pretended to ask casually, ”

“Sese also likes to eat candy without throwing it away?”

Before Jiang se could say anything, mother Wang said, ”

“This house has the most.”

Feng Zhongliang ignored her. He stared at Jiang se with a burning gaze. Mother Wang added, ”

“In the past, the young miss loved to eat this.” At the mention of this, mother Wang’s mood became a little depressed, and the smile on her face lessened.

“It’s a pity that I didn’t like it much after that. It’s just that the old master kept asking me to prepare it, afraid that one day miss would suddenly want to eat it.”

Feng Zhongliang noticed that when mother Wang said that, Jiang se lowered her head. Her gaze fell on her palm that was resting on her thigh. She seemed to be looking at something. Her eyelids concealed the expression in her eyes, and her eyelashes trembled.

Before she was reborn, Jiang se had never thought about this. Even though she knew about it after her rebirth, she could not be grateful in the open.

“Ai, ai, ai, ai.”

Mother Wang sighed and could not continue. On the other hand, Jiang se found it difficult to calm down.

The meal was filled with all sorts of emotions. Before Jiang se left, Feng Zhongliang took out a pouch from his pocket and handed it to Jiang se with a dark expression.

“I was interning on your birthday.” The red packet was printed with the words ‘may all be well’. go and buy some candy.

“I don’t like sugar.”

Jiang se reached out to take the red packet, but Feng Zhongliang’s hands trembled when he replied. He pretended to be impatient and shouted, ”

“Hurry up and leave, you’re disturbing my leisure time.”

She couldn’t help but burst out laughing. She took the red packet and thanked him, her eyes still a little red.

Mother Wang had already pressed the elevator button. Jiang se walked toward the elevator. Before she could enter, the old man who had been urging her to ‘leave’ impatiently earlier hesitated for a long time. Finally, he turned around and said in a seemingly casual manner, ”

“When you have time next time, come and help me see how to carve this stone sculpture.”

He seemed to be talking to himself.

“Look at what kind of trouble you’ve caused me? I won’t be allowed to buy food and clothes, and I’ll have to spend time carving these things.”

He sounded like he was grumbling, but Feng Zhongliang did not look angry at all. Moreover, judging from his expression when he received the stone earlier, Jiang se guessed that he must have been very satisfied with the gift.

After her rebirth, she had looked at her grandfather from a different perspective. She had a better understanding of her grandfather’s character, so she naturally wouldn’t think that he was really feeling that she had caused him trouble.

He was just too lonely and wanted a junior to accompany him.

“The next time you want to carve, just give me a call. I’ll come and see how you do it.”

Her answer made the wrinkles at the corner of Feng Zhongliang’s eyes relax. He rarely smiled, but he quickly put on a straight face again and emphasized, ”

one or two times might not be good. This stone is not bad. I have to be careful.

“A few more times is fine, as long as you don’t find me annoying.”

Feng Zhongliang waved his hand and watched her enter the elevator. Finally, he said, ”

“Be careful when you drive.”

“Okay. Goodbye, Grandpa.”

In fact, Feng Zhongliang had heard her call him ‘Grandpa’ so many times that he should be very used to it, but now he couldn’t help but feel a little sad.

He thought of Feng Nan again. Perhaps he was getting on in his years, he did not like to think about things like he did when he was young.

Feng Nan did not like sweet food. Even if it was a slightly sweet dish, she would always ask the kitchen to put less sugar in it. However, she only loved sugar and would not throw it away. She liked to eat it whether she was in a good mood or not.

“Master.”

After Jiang se left, mother Wang appeared rather worried. She stood in front of Feng Zhongliang and said, ”

“Isn’t it too much of a coincidence that miss Jiang and the young lady share some similarities? Do you want to find someone to investigate and see what her relationship with young miss is?”

Feng Zhongliang didn’t say anything, so mother Wang continued,

“You’re not related to her and it was normal for her to visit you because of young master PEI, but Yingluo …”

However, she was too attentive after that. Before her internship, she came to see Feng Zhongliang once a month, which made Feng Zhongliang’s impression of her become better and better, and he became closer to her.

“You’re the person in charge of Zhongnan industries, I’m afraid she’ll be afraid of you.”

Mother Wang hesitated for a moment and swallowed the words ” ulterior motives ” down her throat. She didn’t say it out loud, but Feng Zhongliang, Xiao Liu, who was next to him, and the servants in the family could all guess what she meant.

Sometimes, if it was too much of a coincidence, it might not be a coincidence anymore. Instead, it seemed like an act of imitation to please Feng Zhongliang.

Knowing that he and Feng Nan were at odds with each other, she had come up with some other idea to get close to him, hoping to get some benefits.

Having worked in the Feng family for the past few years, mother Wang had seen too many situations. She had also seen the brothers fight red-faced over shares, real estate, and dividends, so it was inevitable that she would think deeper.

She originally thought that after she said this, Feng Zhongliang would be more vigilant. Who knew that after she finished speaking, Feng Zhongliang was silent for a long time, and finally laughed, ”

“Money? I have a lot of money.”

He was still holding the yellow stone in his hand and his back was straight.

“I’ll be happy as long as I can buy it.” If Jiang se was here for the money, he would give her some just because she was trying to make him happy. He would just treat it as him spending money to buy comfort.

“But is she really doing this for the money?”

Feng Zhongliang felt that it might not be the case. He raised Tian Huangshi in his hand and squinted his eyes as he sized it up.

“Just this stone alone is probably worth over a million.”

She was also the person PEI Yi liked.
