Inside the Jian Residence, Grandpa Jian and Grandma Jian were raising flowers and feeding fish in the courtyard of the villa.
A servant came to report that there was a foreigner asking to see Grandma Jian.
Asking to see her?
Grandma Jian and Grandpa Jian looked at each other.
Generally speaking, most people came to see Grandpa Jian. Very few people came to see Grandma Jian.
"If it's a foreigner … Could it be that back then …"
Grandpa Jian frowned.
It had been so many years. It was reasonable to say that no one would come to see Grandma Jian anymore.
"Let's go and take a look."
Grandma Jian and Grandpa Jian arrived at the living room. An elderly Caucasian man was sitting on a mahogany chair in the living room.
"Hello, Madam Xie," George greeted as he bowed to Grandma Jian.
Madam Xie. It had been a long time since someone had called her that.
Ever since she married into the Jian family, the outside world had always addressed her as' Grandma Jian '.
"Who are you?" Grandma Jian asked as she sat down. She looked at the old man in front of her with a pair of eyes that had been carved for decades.
"My name is George Goodman."
"You're from the Goodman family. Why are you looking for an old woman like me?"
"Madam Xie, you're being modest. Who doesn't know the Xie family from half a century ago?"
George revealed Grandma Jian's identity in one sentence.
The Xie family wasn't very famous in the country. However, they had been a powerful family in foreign countries in the last century.
The ancestors of the Xie family were feudal officials. Two centuries ago, the ancestors of the Xie family went to Nanyang to develop their business. They became one of the most prominent families in Nanyang.
During the gold rush of the M continent, the Xie family took root in the M continent and developed the mining industry.
During the rise of finance, they took root in the financial industry.
They quickly became a giant in the M continent.
During the Xie family's heyday, the Goodman family had to give them some face.
However, in the middle of the last century, the Xie family suddenly withdrew their investment from the M continent. It was as if they had disappeared into thin air. They disappeared from everyone's sight.
Grandma Jian was the last member of the Xie family.
In the entire Jian family, only Grandpa Jian knew about these things. The younger generation of the Jian family had never heard Grandma Jian mention them.
As an elder of the Goodman family, George had met the Xie family when he was young.
Grandma Jian smiled warmly, "Mr. George also said that it was something that happened in the last century. It has already been half a century. The Xie family has long since declined. Why would an elder of a prosperous family like you come to me?"
"Our family's Head Elder, who has been missing for many years, gave the family compass to your granddaughter."
"Then you have to ask my sweetheart for it. I don't have the final say in my sweetheart's things. Whether she wants to give you or sell you is her business. As her grandmother, I won't make the decision for her. "
"I'm not asking Miss Xie for the compass."
"If it's not for the compass, why did you come looking for a useless old woman like me?"
"When I learned that our Great Elder had given the compass to Miss Jane, I carefully investigated Miss Jane's identity and background, hoping to find out why the Great Elder had given the compass to her."
"And then you came to me?" Grandma Jian asked with a smile on her face. She was elegant and calm.
"Yes. This is because she is your granddaughter. You are the last member of the Xie family. Furthermore, the Xie family is the only one who has cracked the secret of our family compass. "
"I don't know how to crack your family compass," Grandma Jian replied. She denied Elder George's words.
