Jiang Chen had already noticed the change in god-grandmother's attitude towards his godmother; they had returned to a genuine mother-daughter relationship. Therefore, he extended his sincere greetings. As for god-grandfather, since he had not yet acknowledged his godmother, Jiang Chen naturally did not inquire about him.
"This is Jiang Chen, right?" god-grandmother looked at Jiang Chen, somewhat knowingly. Over the past two years, Zhou Rongli had mentioned Jiang Chen quite a bit, so the elder was well aware of her powerful grandson.
Jiang Chen nodded. The elder then remarked, "The young man looks quite spirited."
Zhou Duanmei and Zhou Lianhua also brought their families to greet Jiang Chen, but in his presence, both families seemed a bit reserved.
Jiang Chen was not an unfriendly person; he smiled and responded to each of them.
After sitting down in the living room, Zhou Duanmei and Zhou Lianhua went to the kitchen to busy themselves, while Jiang Chen's family chatted with god-grandmother.
"By the way, Grandma, President Yue Hui from Yue Group will be coming over to pay her New Year’s visit later," Jiang Chen suddenly said. He felt it necessary to remind everyone so they wouldn't be too surprised when she arrived.
"President Yue Hui? How could she possibly come? Oh, Jiang Chen, is she your girlfriend? Miss Yue is quite famous for her beauty in Hangcheng; if she likes you, you should seize the opportunity!" god-grandmother paused for a moment before smiling broadly.
"Grandma, Miss Yue is just an ordinary friend of mine. I’m not looking to date anyone right now; let’s not talk about this," Jiang Chen quickly changed the subject.
"Mom, Miss Yue is indeed wonderful, but your grandson is currently surrounded by so many flowers that he doesn’t even know how to choose," Zhou Rongli teased.
Jiang Chen listened helplessly from the side and could only respond with a wry smile.
Although these questions were common topics of conversation, they were filled with the essence of everyday life. Jiang Chen was no longer the aloof Mr. Jiang; he accepted these inquiries with a cheerful demeanor and responded like an ordinary person.
Around ten o'clock, Yue Hui arrived to pay her New Year’s visit, carrying a large bag of gifts. Jiang Chen personally came out to greet her.
"Mr. Jiang, you’ve finally emerged!" Yue Hui looked at Jiang Chen with deep affection.
"Yes, it’s been two years," Jiang Chen replied with a smile.
"You’ve been out of touch for two years; it made everyone worry! By the way, I didn’t expect your family to be in Hangcheng; am I being too forward by coming here?" Yue Hui asked nervously.
"What do I have to worry about! Yes, I found out not long ago. Since you’re here, come in and sit down," Jiang Chen said as he reached out to take the gifts from Yue Hui's hands with a slight smile.
Yue Hui and Jiang Chen walked side by side into the villa's hall.
"They look great together," god-grandmother said with a grin.
Upon hearing this, Yue Hui blushed deeply and stole glances at Jiang Chen. He wore an expression of helplessness and did not argue; he simply made a brief introduction.
"Miss Yue, you’re too kind," god-grandmother warmly welcomed her. Being a socialite from Hangcheng, the elder naturally recognized her.
"It’s what I should do; I’m just here to see you as a friend of Mr. Jiang," Yue Hui quickly replied.
"Miss Yue, you’re such a good girl! I wonder who will benefit from you in the future," god-grandmother joked.
"Cough, cough!" Jiang Chen turned his head to the side, feeling a sense of helplessness. " god-grandmother, can you not look at me when you say that?"
After the pleasantries, everyone settled back into the living room. With Yue Hui's arrival, the conversation picked up once more.
