Chapter 436: 280 Fifth Master addicted to fishing? Strategies deep as the sea (2 updates)The Jiang Family had wanted Jiang Yanting to come back for dinner too, but the Xie Family beat them to it.

Deep down, she thought, since she would eventually be their daughter-in-law anyway, missing one dinner didn’t really matter.

After changing clothes, Tang Wan went with Jiang Jinsang to Fan Mingyu’s place at the Fan Family, with Jiang Zhenhuan at the company, only the three of them made the trip. It was Tang Wan’s first visit, so it was inevitable that she felt some nervousness.

”Actually, at his home, it’s just Xiaowu’s (little five’s) grandpa and a nanny who take care of him. At this time, his uncle and aunt are surely at school.” Fan Mingyu explained the situation of the Fan Family to her, ”I have a niece who studies music overseas, she’s not at home either.”

”School? Teachers?”

Speaking of which, Jiang Jinsang seemed to have never mentioned the Fan Family to her before.

”What? Xiaowu (little five) didn’t tell you?” Fan Mingyu laughed, ”No wonder, he’s been a bit afraid of his uncle since he was young.”

”Afraid of his uncle?” Tang Wan suddenly got interested.

”I only have a brother; he and his wife both teach at a middle school. Xiaowu’s uncle has been the head of the discipline office for most of his life. When Xiaowu was at school, he was not in good health, and his uncle took care of him.”

During school, there was no teacher more terrifying than the head of the discipline office.

As they were getting close to the Fan Family’s place, Fan Mingyu reminded her, ”Xiaowu’s grandpa has Alzheimer’s, he might mistake you for someone else, don’t be scared.”

”I know.” Jiang Jinsang had already told her about this.

The Fan Family’s residence was at the urban-rural interface, in a courtyard house with a century-old camphor tree in the center, The door-keeping aunt was in her fifties, looked simple, and dressed neatly.

”Lu Jie (Sister Lu).” Fan Mingyu greeted her, obviously quite familiar.

”Aunt Lu.” Jiang Jinsang called her this, and Tang Wan followed suit.

”You’re here.” Lu Jie helped them with their things, smiling and letting the three into the yard, ”Grandpa Five, this must be Miss Tang, so pretty.”

”Where’s my dad?” Fan Mingyu laughed, ”With such nice sunshine, isn’t he out enjoying the sun?”

”He’s not awake yet.”

As soon as she finished speaking, a hoarse and profound voice came from inside the house, ”Who’s here?”

Tang Wan looked towards the voice and saw an elderly man in white cotton-padded clothes come out of the house, his back somewhat hunched, eyes very deep but still warm despite being through a lot.

His hair was full of silver, but his features were very regular. Just by looking at him, you could tell he must have been a handsome man when he was young; Jiang Jinsang inherited Fan Mingyu’s good looks, and their daughter took after her father.

”I’m Mingyu’s back——” He smiled and reached out his hand.

”Grandpa seems to be in good spirits today, he even recognized my mother,” Jiang Jinsang whispered to Tang Wan.

”Dad.” Fan Mingyu smiled and walked over, trying to grab his extended hand, but before her fingers could touch him, the old man sidestepped and grabbed Tang Wan’s arm instead.

Tang Wan was startled. He looked left and right, his face full of affection,” Mingyu, you haven’t visited me in a long time.”

Fan Mingyu looked hurt, Tang Wan was shocked, but Jiang Jinsang couldn’t help laughing.

”Grandpa, this isn’t my mom; my mom is over there!” Jiang Jinsang patiently explained to him.

”Jiang Zhenhuan, what are you doing at my house, get out of here——”

This time it was Tang Wan’s turn to laugh.

”Mingyu, let’s go inside, tell me about your concert, how come it took so long?” The old man pulled Tang Wan inside, leaving her no choice but to follow and sit down as he started stuffing snacks into her arms, ”Eat— eat.”

”Dad, I’m Mingyu!” Fan Mingyu came over.

”You’re Mingyu...” The old man looked back and forth between her and Tang Wan, ”How is that possible, my daughter is just over twenty, at her most beautiful, you’re already this old, how can you possibly be my Mingyu.”

After saying that, he didn’t forget to offer snacks to Tang Wan.

He laughed with affection, full of care and pity. Tang Wan had no choice but to open a packet and take a couple of bites of the snack, satisfying him with her gesture.

”Mingyu, I heard you’re rehearsing ’Ah Friends Goodbye’, sing a few lines for me...”

”Cough—” Tang Wan almost choked; she couldn’t sing at all.
