When Jian, aided by the housekeeper, arrived at the gate of the Fei family manor’s main vi, Fei Kexin’s motorcade was just pulling up.
The rest of the Fei family was close behind.
As Fei Kexin stepped out of the car and spotted her grandfathering out to wee her, she quickly grasped his intentions. At the same time, she felt a pang of anxiety, remembering that she had the blood-sweeping pill from Charlie tucked away in her pocket.
She was acutely aware of her grandfather’s high hopes for both the Huichun Pill and the Sanxue Rescue Pill, which had be paramount in his mind. As his granddaughter, she knew she should have handed over that pill without a second thought.
However, recalling Charlie’s earlier instructions, she stifled the impulse to act.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">
With a sense of urgency, she approached her grandfather and said with respect, “Grandpa, why did youe out to greet me personally?”
Her grandfather smiled warmly and replied, “You are now the head of the Fei family, returning from such a long journey. Of course, I had toe out to wee you and ensure you feel at home.”
Then, with a hint of concern, he asked, “Everything went well this time, right? I saw reports on the news about Liu Jiahui; it appears he has made peace with Arman?”
Fei Kexin nodded, confirming, “Yes. With Mr. Wade overseeing things, Liu Jiahui wouldn’t dare to cross Mr. Arman. Mr. Wade has given him plenty of face this time, and he seems quite pleased.”
“That’s wonderful to hear,” her grandfather said with a smile. “Mr. Wade shows our Fei family immense generosity; it’s truly an honor for us to assist him in any way we can.”
At that moment, her grandfather contemted asking Fei Kexin if she had helped Charlie during her trip, but he refrained from being so direct. Instead, he said with a smile, “Ke Xin,e inside and tell Grandpa about your experiences on your trip to Hong Kong Ind.”
Fei Kexin nodded slightly, exchanged pleasantries with the others, and then followed Jian to the study.
The study in the main vi had long been used by Jian. Spanning over 100 square meters, it boasted exquisite decor that would rival even the imperial studies of ancient emperors.
This space had historically been where Jian made significant decisions impacting the Fei family.
Although Fei Kexin had stepped into the role of head of the family, she had not yet taken over her grandfather’s space, which remained his domain.
However, today felt different.
As Fei Kexin and her grandfather entered, they instinctively prepared to sit at the front of the desk, but her grandfather gently gestured for her to stop and said, “Ke Xin, please take a seat inside.”
The desk, a prized item Jian acquired at a hefty auction price, was crafted from top-quality Hainan Huanghuali wood, showcasing exceptional artistry and a history dating back over 500 years. It had once belonged to a prime minister during the Ming and Qing dynasties, making it one of Jian’s treasured possessions.
Within the confines of the bookcase, Jian had a chair made from the same Hainan Huanghuali wood, designated as his special seat, while three slightly smaller chairs were ced outside.
Typically, only a select few individuals from the Fei family were permitted to sit in front of the desk in his study. When Fei Kexin came, she would usually choose one of the three smaller chairs.<fn7a7c> Fresh chapters posted on find[?]ovel</fn7a7c>
But today, with Jian inviting her to sit in the inner chair, it was a gesture she had never encountered before.
