Translator: Yunyi Editor: Yunyi
After returning from the hot springs, Yu Gangan followed Fang Zhihan back to the Jiang Family Home.
As usual, Elder Jiang said resentfully, “Are you going home tomorrow? If you’re going home, then don’t come back. Stop ruining my grandson’s life. My future granddaughter-in-law has to be a beautiful and gentle woman.”
Yu Gangan maintained her smiled and faced him head-on, “Your grandson doesn’t like beautiful women. He likes women like me.”
“So thick-skinned.”
“I apply moisturizer every day and I take good care of my skin.”
“Go, go, go, hurry and pour me a cup of tea. If you please me, then I will let you into the family. If not, then I will break the two of you apart!”
Every word was filled with disgust but Yu Gangan knew that the old man was sentimental and did not want her to leave.
Otherwise, he would not have kept her around for dinner.
“I will brew you some tea with snow water,” Yu Gangan smiled helplessly as she looked at the stubborn old man.
When she looked at him, she was often reminded of her own grandfather. Her grandfather used to say that brewing tea with snow water was the ultimate experience of sophistication. As common people in this turbid world, occasionally treating oneself to something elegant was a blissful experience that was good for the body and mind.
The snow water used for brewing tea had to be pure. The best water came from snow that fell on the third to fifth days of snowing. Beijing’s weather was cold, so snow was common.
This time, the snow had been falling for a week. It was perfect for collecting and brewing tea.
Yu Gangan and Jiang Qi went into the garden and collected snow from among the branches, flowers, and leaves, while Fang Zhihan and Elder Jiang chatted inside.
The weather was too cold. As soon as she returned to the house, Yu Gangan sped up her footsteps. But, she accidentally ran into someone, knocking the documents in his hands onto the floor.
“Sorry, sorry…” Yu Gangan immediately knelt down to pick up the papers. But, one particular document surprised her slightly.
She held it in her hand and looked at it for a moment before someone snatched it away.
