Chapter 368: The Old House

Jiang Jin smiled. "Babies are like that. When they grow up and become more sensible, they'll naturally be better."

Ye Xin sighed in relief inwardly when she Jiang Jin paid no mind to her earlier transgression. Then, she said excitedly, "Grandma, I went through Zhuang Ji's list of clients over the past two days. Apart from that, I also feel that there are many areas that we can improve on. I plan to go to Zhuang Ji today. In fact, I plan to go there every day."

"Oh?" Jiang Jin smiled as she glanced at Ye Xin. She said gently, "I'm old, and my health isn't good so I can't accompany you. You'll have to go to Zhuang Ji alone. When you return, you can just report to me. What do you think?"

Ye Xin did not expect things to go so smoothly. She hurriedly nodded and said, "Okay! In fact, I was going to suggest that as well. Since you're getting older, you can't be accompanying me all the time. It's better for me to go to Zhuang Ji alone."

Jiang Jin smiled. "It's rare for you to be so attentive. This isn't a bad idea. Go then..."

After that, Ye Xin hurriedly responded and turned to leave. Midway to the door, she remembered the baby and hastily turned around to have a look at the baby.

The baby was drinking milk at this moment, His chubby fingers held on to A Nuan's hands. His eyes were twinkling, and he looked very happy.

Ye Xin reached out and touched the baby's face.

A Nuan instinctively took a step back before she said in a small voice, "Young Madam, Little Master has a bad habit. If he's interrupted while he's drinking his milk, he'll start to cry."

Ye Xin withdrew her hand and said in disappointment, "What a brat. Why does he have such a bad temper?"

A Nuan smiled and said, "Old Madam said Young Master had a bad temper when he was young as well..."

"Well, the baby definitely inherited his bad temper from his father," Ye Xin said. Then, she bade farewell to Jiang Jin and left.

After the door closed behind Ye Xin, Jiang Jin sighed softly.

Sister Yu stepped forward and gently patted Jiang Jin's back. "Old Madam, don't worry. Arrangements have been made regarding Zhuang Ji."

Jiang Jin said, "I was just thinking how could there be people like this in the world? Is it really all for benefits?"

Sister Yu comforted Jiang Jin. "Everyone has their own path to walk. No one can control the path that another person chooses to walk..."

Jiang Jin nodded slightly.

Cheng Che looked at the Zhuang family's old house in front of him and could not help but sigh. 'Although sister-in-law's family house is low-key, it's quite luxurious...'

The small town had the cultural feel of Jiangnan's water villages; it was very quaint.

The Zhuang family was one of the most famous families in the town. This was because Old Master Zhuang was a famous Chinese medicine practitioner, and Old Madam Zhuang was a famous embroiderer. However, since the old couple was no longer around, the house had fallen into slight disrepair. It was currently being looked after by some people appointed by the Zhuang family.

Cheng Che contacted the caretaker of the house and introduced himself. He had said he was planning to shoot a television drama set in the old Republic of China period so he wanted to visit the old house to study it.

The caretaker tactfully refused, saying that there were still members of the Zhuang family around and that he was not qualified to make such decisions. Hence, he gave Cheng Che the contact information of one of the family members and told Cheng Che to obtain consent from them.
