Chapter 508 - 508 Unexpected Guest
508 Unexpected Guest
Jiang Mansion-
Rather than going to the company, Grandfather Jiang was staying back at the Jiang Mansion and resting. After Jiang Ru and Jiang Yahui were arrested at the company, Han Zihao asked him to stay at home rather than go to the company as it will bring attention to him and the controversy even more.
While he is resting at home and taking care of his meals regularly as Jiang Yue asked him to do the other day, the new CEO that he had appointed at the meeting has been handling the company affairs and gives him the reports every day.
He was surprised yet impressed by the work ethic of the young man who has been suggested by Han Zihao. He is not only smart and intelligent but also diligent and passionate about his work.
Under his leadership, the company is coming into control and discipline despite the court case going on against Jiang Ru and Jiang Yahui. He believes in him and feels that things will soon come into their control and become better like before.
“Mr. Chairman, here is your milk tea.” Gu De placed a cup of milk tea in front of him.
Grandfather Jiang was sitting on the couch in the living room and was reading his newspaper and was surprised when his secretary brought his tea for him. “What are you doing here?”
“Why did you bring the tea? You should have asked a servant to do that.” The old man asked while gesturing for him to take a seat in front of him.
Gu De smiled at him politely and took a seat on the couch adjacent to him and said, “Because I wanted to do it. Moreover, if we were in the company, I would have been the one serving you your morning tea.”
.....
Since they do not have much workload like before, Grandfather Jiang has been resting at home, meanwhile, as his secretary, he doesn’t have many occasions to come to the Jiang Mansion to come and meet him.
However, Xu Nuan has asked him to visit the Mansion frequently and look after Grandfather Jiang’s health and keep him accompanied so that he will not be bored while living alone in the large Jiang Mansion.
He was surprised to see the strong bond between Xu Nuan and Mr. Chairman. There is no relationship between the two but they strangely have gotten close to each other.
However, as a person who has been by his side for a long time, he could see that Mr. Chairman treats Xu Nuan like his Granddaughter and sees Young Miss Jiang Yue in her. For this reason, he has been treating her well and treats her as part of the Jiang Family now.

Grandfather Jiang smiled to see Gu De for a while and picked up his teacup and took a sip from it before asking him, “Did you buy the things from the list that I gave you earlier?”
“Yes. I have ordered the items and they will soon be delivered to Jiang Mansion. Mr. Chairman, if you don’t mind, can I ask you why you need so many items?” He asked cautiously.
Two days ago, Grandfather Jiang gave him a list of items that he asked him to prepare as soon as possible. However, the list of gifts surprised him because there are twenty pieces of dresses for women and twenty sets of tailored suits for men. Not only that, all the clothes should be branded and of high quality.
Other than that, there was a long list of toys and clothes for a newborn baby. There was also a long list of electronics home appliances that he canceled later after talking to someone on the phone.
Instead of electronics, there are many other items to be used in the household which are mostly gifted as wedding gifts. However, those things should be gifted by family members and not the other guests.
He still cannot understand why he needs so many items and to whom he wants to give them.
Grandfather Jiang looked up at Gu De and smiled and said, ” All these gifts are for Xu Nuan. Her wedding is in a few days. We need to prepare all the gifts before that.”
“After checking all the gifts, pack them in beautiful gift wrappers and deliver them to her residential address.” He said.
Gu De was stunned when he heard his words. He had ordered so many gifts that he cannot even fit them in a car and he wants him to deliver all those gifts to Ms. Xu Nuan’s residence.
He has never gifted so many items to a VIP business partner before and he wants to gift so many branded gift items to a girl whom he met a few times only. That’s surprising!
He is preparing gifts for her wedding as if his granddaughter is getting married in a week.
“Yes. I will do that. However, would that be alright? I mean, seeing the personality of Ms. Xu Nuan, I don’t think she will accept so many gifts. Wouldn’t that be too much to give her as a wedding gift?” Gu De asked again.
Grandfather Jiang crossed his legs and placed one leg over another and said, ” She cannot do that. I already talked to her.”
“I wanted to give her a Mansion on the outskirts of the city as a wedding gift where she could enjoy the fresh air and the greenery and enjoy her vacations with her family. However, she has rejected accepting a Mansion and the electronic appliances as a gift so after a long argument, we finalized the list of gifts that I gave you earlier.”
Xu Nuan tried to stop him from giving her anything and said that she and Han Zihao are not planning to take gifts from anyone.
However, how can they do that? It is his Granddaughter’s wedding after all. Happiness has finally come into their house.
Even though he cannot call her his Granddaughter in front of everyone like before, it doesn’t mean that he cannot give her some gifts at her wedding either.
She might have informed him about this happy news late, but he will not leave any regrets about her wedding and will do whatever he could in his power to make this day, the most joyful day of her life.
“I already talked to her about that and she cannot reject those gifts. She has to take them. Also, take this list of gifts as well. These are the gifts for her in-laws and friends.” The old man said while handing him another list of gifts for him to prepare in such a short time.
Gu De was shocked but took the list of gifts from him anyway. Even if he has taken Ms. Xu as his Granddaughter, wasn’t it still too much? One would think that he is the real Grandfather of Ms. Xu.
“Yes. I will do that.” He took a deep breath and answered politely before leaving.
After Gu De left the mansion, one of the guards came running and informed him about the arrival of an unexpected guest, “Sir, Madam has come to meet you. I tried to stop her but she isn’t listening to us.” He said while panting heavily.
Grandfather Jiang frowned and raised his brows when he noticed the reddened cheeks of the man and could see the handprint on his face. He gritted his teeth and put away his newspaper and asked in a cold voice, “Madam? Who?”
The guard lowered his head and answered in a quivering voice, “Madam Xiong Hua. She had gone on a trip with her friends but now she had returned. According to your orders, I tried to stop her but she wasn’t listening to any of our words and even hit our staff when we tried to stop her. What should we do about her?” He asked in concern.
Generally, if anyone tries to enter the Mansion forcefully, they’re ordered to call the local police station for assistance. However, Xiong Hua is the Mistress of the Household and the daughter-in-law of Grandfather Jiang.
How can they call the police on her? That’s why rather than making any decision on their own, he came to ask for his orders.
Jiang Hanying pursed his lips and was silent for a few minutes before saying, “There is no need to do that. Let her come inside. I will talk to her myself.” He said.
Since Xiong Hua was not at the Mansion when Jiang Ru and Jiang Yahui were arrested and went on a trip with her friends, he had forgotten about her. However, it was a good thing that she came sooner than he had expected.
He doesn’t want any complications during Jiang Yue’s wedding. It’s better to deal with her before that.
