Jing Zhichen didn’t dare to make Ye Tianxin do anything. “There’s no need,” he said. “We can go ask if there are any hotels in town.”

She was Li Qingcang’s savior, which meant she was also his savior!

“We have many rooms, so you all can stay here!”

Jing Zhichen hesitated for a moment but didn’t refuse Ye Tianxin. Instead, he asked the two drivers and the caregiver who’d come with them to help out too.

It’d be easier to clean up with three people helping out.

The courtyard and the house were cleaned up in less than half an hour.

Jing Zhichen sat leisurely on a bamboo rocking chair outside.

He took out his mobile phone, took a picture of the sky, and sent it to Li Qingcang.

The boss of the restaurant brought some food over. Ye Tianxin set up a table outside in the courtyard.

She greeted the boss happily, saying, “Boss, thank you!”

“Tianxin, are these your relatives?”

Jing Zhichen got up to stand behind Ye Tianxin. He said softly, “Yes, I am Tianxin’s grandmother’s grandnephew. Thank you for taking care of my grandaunt and Tianxin!”

The boss thought that this was rather odd. Grandmother had such good relatives? Why hadn’t they visited in the past?

She’d heard from her husband that the cars parked outside the city gates were all luxury cars.

And that each car cost several million dollars!

“Elder Brother Jing, eat up!”

Ye Tianxin pushed her grandmother to the table. The food that Grandmother ate was all nutritious and mild. Everyone gathered around the tall wooden table.

“Tianxin, bring the rice wine I made and let them have it!”

Ye Tianxin brought over a large wine jug.

The fragrance of the rice wine permeated the air and spread throughout the entire courtyard the moment she lifted the lid.

Everyone took a bowl each and took a gulp of the fragrant and sweet glutinous rice wine. It tasted like a normal drink. No matter how much one drank, they wouldn’t get drunk on it.

“CEO Jing, these are all local delicacies of Jiameng. Give them a try!”

Jing Zhichen pointed at a plate of chameleon plant and asked, “What’s that?”

“We call them folded ears here. Its scientific name is ‘the chameleon plant.’ It helps to expel heat and detoxify. Try it!”

Using his chopsticks, Jing Zhichen picked up a leaf and ate it, and an unfamiliar flavor rolled across his tongue.

“It tastes a little weird!”

The town of Jiameng was close to a river. As such, they had many freshwater delicacies like fresh river prawns and various types of freshwater fish.

There were several types of fish on the table alone.

There was boiled fish in mala sauce, pickled vegetables, tofu and fish, fish stewed in pickled vegetables, tomato fish soup, and fried fish.

These dishes were all cooked simply, and even Jing Zhichen, who didn’t like fish, ate a lot of it.

“Tianxin, no wonder you’re so smart. It must be because you eat a lot of fish!”

Ye Tianxin smiled sweetly and asked, “Are people who eat fish smart?”

“Science has proven that fish have lots of nutrients!” Jing Zhichen rarely ate so much. He continued, “I accidentally ate too much. I shall go and walk around the town later!”

“All right. Give me a call if you can’t find your way back!” Ye Tianxin said.

Jing Zhichen left the courtyard with his two drivers. He thought, no wonder Grandmother wanted to stay in the town of Jiameng. If it were him, he’d rather recuperate in a little town that had green mountains and freshwater than go to a large crowded city like the Capital.

The town of Jiameng hadn’t yet been developed. There weren’t even street lamps on the road.

The bluestone tiles under his feet were very smooth because so many people had walked across them.

“Bro, we’re here! Are you close by?”

Li Qingcang’s voice could be heard from the other end of the line. “I can’t come over today. Remember to find Tianxin a nanny when you leave tomorrow.”
