“Okay. Thank you, Grandpa. I’ll call you before I come back.”

“Okay. When you come back, tell me what you want to eat too. Even if your Second Uncle Nangong isn’t around, Grandpa’s cooking is not any worse too!”

“Sure.”

After that, the two in-laws, Chi Zeyao, Chi Yang, and Nuannuan sat down for a blissful meal.

During the meal, Chi Yang talked about Feng Shengxuan and told everyone that Feng Shengxuan was Nuannuan’s Big Brother. However, he now had stomach cancer and his cancer had already reached mid-stage.

Old Master Chi and Old Master Nangong sighed.. How pitiful it must be to suffer from such an illness when he was still so young.

Then, they were informed that Nuannuan’s Big Brother took good care of Nuannuan after she was abducted and raised at the ‘orphanage’. Therefore, they raised both hands in agreement to receive her elder brother in the Chi residence.

Old Master Nangong even volunteered to bring Feng Shengxuan to the Nangong family mansion, which was located next door to the Chi residence. He further explained that since Feng Shengxuan took care of Nangong Nuannuan on behalf of the Nangong family for so many years, that made him a benefactor to the Nangong family. Therefore, now that he was sick, it should be the Nangong family to shoulder this problem. They should not trouble their in-laws for this.

However, how could Old Master Chi agree to that?

If they really let Nuannuan’s Big Brother go to the Nangong family mansion, Nuannuan would probably return to her maternal home every day.

Although… it was worth nothing that her maternal home was not that far away either. It would only take them around ten minutes on foot to reach because they were located within the same residential compound after all.

However, that had a different significance on its own. After all, Nuannuan was already Old Chi’s granddaughter-in-law. How could she stay in the Nangong family every day?

A little booklet from The Civil Affairs Department meant nothing—what was important was the approval from the organization they belonged to. Once they received the organization’s approval, even Old Master Nangong acknowledged the Chi family as his in-laws. It was likely that only the two old comrades who lived their entire lives in the military base could do such a thing.

As for Nuannuan, it did not matter to her. To her, the Nangong family was nothing but the family that she accepted later. The family that she first acknowledged was the Chi family, and she would treat them like her own.

Yes, although this kind of conviction somewhat pricked the Nangong family’s heart, there was nothing wrong with it.

“Nangong, as you can see, although our house isn’t as big as your second son’s mansion, it’s still the same size as the Nangong family mansion. There are too many empty rooms on our second and third floors. It won’t be a problem to house another seven or eight Big Brothers if need be, what more just one.

“Besides, Zeyao’s health has been deteriorating recently. Nuannuan spends an hour every day treating him. If we separate these two patients, won’t that simply take up a lot more of Nuannuan’s time?”

Old Master Chi could tell that Old Master Nangong feared nothing in the world—he could ignore everyone in this world except his granddaughter, to whom he was willing to give his all.

Therefore, the moment Old Master Chi brought up Nuannuan, Grandfather Nangong immediately surrendered.

“Then, I’ll be responsible for delivering meals every day!”

Chi Zeyao smiled. “Uncle Nangong, there’s no need to trouble yourself. I’ve already taught many of our servants. They can cook for us. If you don’t mind, Uncle Nangong, feel free to come over and eat with us every day.”

Old Master Nangong’s eyes lit up.

Honestly, all he wanted was to see his granddaughter. He would be happy with any reason at all to come over.

The next day, when Feng Shengxuan’s group of ‘bodyguards’ appeared at the airport, it caused a huge commotion.

Not only was Feng Shengxuan the chairman of the Imperial Phoenix Group, but he was also the biggest star in Imperial Phoenix Film Industry, the famed Chinese Oscar-winning Best Actor…
