Jiang Mansion-
In the study room of Jiang Mansion, an old figure was sitting in front of the computer screen and was looking at the latest articles and news regarding Xu Nuan.
Grandfather Jiang was wearing his round-gold framed glasses that were resting on the bridge of his nose and was reading every piece of news related to Xu Nuan with all seriousness. In the last few days, he has followed every news article regarding Sun Ya's scandal, who was an artist under Xu Nuan's care.
He was not only interested in news related to Xu Nuan but also in every other person who is related to her.
His expressions were switching like seasons, sometimes he was smiling brightly like autumn upon reading the comments complimenting Xu Nuan and supporting her, and sometimes he was frowning like dry and cold winter when he stumbled upon any hate comment or misleading article about her.
Since the day he had met with Xu Nuan, he has become sure of one thing. His Granddaughter Jiang Yue is not dead.
She is still alive!! And no one can change his mind when it comes to this.
He has no idea why she was pretending to not recognize him and telling him the truth, but he has seen through the facade that she was trying to put up in front of him.
A person can lie through his mouth and deceive someone with their words, but their gaze cannot lie.
Eyes are like a mirror of someone's heart. You cannot hide the truth in them. Never.

As he was reading the news articles regarding Xu Nuan and her newly established entertainment company, the corners of his lips curled up in pride. It's been only a few days since she has announced about The Knights joining the company and people are already showing immense interest in the company and its affairs.
The way she handled the scandal and twisted it in a way that can benefit the company, it's so like Jiang Yue.
Even though Jiang Yue followed the path of showbiz and gave up the opportunity to take over the Jiang Corporations, he was aware that she had all the qualities of a capable business entrepreneur.
That's why he made her complete her studies in business and wanted to give her the responsibilities of the company after retiring.
He was aware that other than her, no one can manage the company better than her. She is just like her father, capable and responsible.
However, before he could announce Jiang Yue as his successor, he got the news of her passing away.
A heavy sigh left from his mouth upon remembering all the pain and hardships that he suffered upon hearing the news of his young granddaughter passing away before he could leave this world.
As a parent, he not only had to attend the funeral of his eldest son and daughter-in-law but also as a Grandfather, he failed to protect his granddaughter too.
If he had acted earlier, would things have been any different? Would he have managed to save his Granddaughter?
" Sir, the car is waiting outside. Do you want me to inform Ms. Jiang Ru about your visit to the company?" His secretary Gu De, interrupted his thoughts, pulling him to reality.
" No need." The old man coldly responded and put down his glasses on the desk and picked up his wooden stick from the side as support to get up from the chair.
"Let's go." The man announced before leaving the study room with the help of Gu De.

Jiang Corporations-
" What? Who did you say has arrived?" Jiang Ru yelled in shock upon hearing the news of Grandfather Jiang arriving at the company.
Jiang Ru, Jiang Yue's cousin who works at Jiang Corporations as the Managing Director, and her father, who is the Chief Executive at the company came running downstairs upon hearing the news of the arrival of Grandfather Jiang.
Seeing the company's CEO and the managing director along with the other team leaders of the company running like this, all the employees were confused and wondering what had happened to make them run around like this.
While all the other employees were confused by the chaos in the office lobby, Jiang Ru and Jiang Yahui were shocked by Grandfather Jiang's surprise visit.
After Jiang Yue's death, it was his first time coming to the company. After she suddenly passed away, Grandfather Jiang had stopped attending any meetings and instead of him, Jiang Ru and Jiang Yue's uncle, Jiang Yahui were taking care of the company's affairs.
If he has to sign any documents, he will do it from Jiang Mansion itself. That's why everyone was shocked to see him coming to the office like this.

" Father, how come you're here without any prior information? You should have at least informed me about your visit." Jiang Yahui said in a low voice as soon as Grandfather Jiang got out of the car.
The old man looked at his son who was surprised and was baffled by his sudden visit to the company. " Why do I have to inform you about my visit in advance? Do I have to take your permission to come to my own company?" The old man responded firmly.
Jiang Yahui was surprised by his father's indifferent reaction and pursed his lips in embarrassment upon being told off like this in front of everyone.
Seeing the atmosphere becoming awkward, Jiang Ru stepped ahead and greeted Grandfather Jiang with her bright smile, " Grandfather, you're here."
The old man looked at his granddaughter and narrowed his eyes, " Jiang Ru, You're the Managing Director of the company. At work, you should address me as the Chairman, I am not your grandfather here." He told her off sternly as well.
The atmosphere became uncomfortable once again. Although Grandfather Jiang has a straightforward and cold personality, it was his first time treating Jiang Ru and Jiang Yahui in front of everyone like this.
A deep frown appeared on Jiang Ru's forehead upon seeing Grandfather Jiang's cold attitude towards her and her father. Because of this, other employees also started whispering to each other.
" I understand, Mr. Chairman." She said in a humble voice, through her gritting teeth.
Grandfather Jiang looked at Jiang Ru who was maintaining her poised expressions and was still smiling as if nothing had happened. However, knowing the fiery and competitive personality of his granddaughter, he was sure that she was bitter about what just happened.
He narrowed his eyes at her but didn't say anything further and entered the company while others followed him.
It's time to set some things straight.
