Jiang Chengzhou stayed there for half a year. By then, Shen Man had been transferred back to the capital to continue her studies and work.

Making phone calls is inconvenient at the border, so the two can only communicate by writing letters.

They haven't even told their respective families about their relationship.

Lin Zhilan is only concerned about Jiang Chengzhou's safety right now. As for his marriage, Jiang Jinzhu is actually the one who is most anxious.

Given Jiang Chengzhou's current situation, no matter how anxious he is, he can't get in touch with him.

Jiang Jinzhu could only call Lin Zhilan and Su Lang anxiously, saying that he was afraid he would die before he could see Jiang Chengzhou get married.

The old man was getting on in years, so Lin Zhilan didn't dare to upset him. She just told him to go home and then talk about finding a partner.

Jiang Jinzhu then gave up.

However, as he got older, he became a bit senile.

He often forgets things, and even went to Xu Yueyun and Su Bingcheng to say that he was going to the island to bring Jiang Chengzhou back.

He still thought it was Jiang Chengzhou when he was a child.

After Jiang Yinzhu was transferred from the capital, he married a woman with a child. He did not have any more children of his own, but he treated his stepson as if he were his own.

Upon learning of Jiang Jinzhu's illness, he even took his wife and children back to the capital.

Jiang Jinzhu would get angry whenever he saw him, and every time they met, he would poke him with his cane.

That incident caused a huge uproar in the capital back then. Apart from the younger generation, most of the older people knew how much of a cuckold Jiang Yinzhu was wearing at the time.

Jiang Yinzhu is living a good life now, and he doesn't really want to go back to the capital.

Jiang Jinzhu didn't acknowledge him, so he simply stopped caring.

Jiang Jinzhu had no other children. Since Jiang Chengzhou wasn't around, Linlin and Yan Yuan were the ones who visited him most often.

After meeting them, Jiang Jinzhu became unusually talkative.

He couldn't even remember what he ate for breakfast, and kept talking about Jiang Chengzhou's childhood.

She started to cry after talking for a while, saying sorry to Chengzhou.

When Linlin heard how pitiful her brother's childhood was, she felt both heartbroken and angry. But seeing the old man's teary eyes, she couldn't take her anger out on him and had to comfort him.

Shen Man would sometimes come to the villa to eat with them, and she heard more or less about Jiang Jinzhu's current situation.

"Grandpa Jiang wants my brother to get married right now, but my brother is still somewhere in the deep mountains and forests, how can he get married?"

Shen Man picked up a piece of green vegetable for her. "Who knows? Maybe your brother has already found someone he likes."

"Really?"

Linlin's eyes lit up, and she secretly transferred the vegetables to Yan Yuan's bowl.

Yan Yuan obediently moved the bowl over, then met Shen Man's gaze and nodded with a straight face.

Shen Man snorted softly, not exposing Linlin's little trick, and put another piece of vegetables on her plate.

"Where does Grandpa Jiang live? Can I go visit him?"

Linlin ate the vegetables with a bitter face, "Okay, we'll go together this weekend."

As expected, Shen Man went with them to see Jiang Jinzhu the following weekend.

The nanny was sunbathing with him in the yard when she saw Linlin and her group. She quickly stood up to greet them, "Linlin is here, and Comrade Yan is here too."

She then looked at Shen Man, "And who is this?"

Before Shen Man could speak, Jiang Jinzhu laughed and said, "I know, you are our Chengzhou's wife."

"Grandpa Jiang," Linlin helped him up, "please don't talk nonsense. This is my good friend, who came to see you today."

Jiang Jinzhu was a little angry. "I'm not making this up. She is Chengzhou's wife."

His mind was muddled, and Linlin couldn't correct him. She glanced apologetically at Shen Man.

Shen Manchong gently shook her head, indicating that it was okay.

Jiang Jinzhu then asked, "Why didn't Chengzhou come today?"

Linlin was unsure how to answer when Shen Man spoke up, "Chengzhou is away on a business trip and won't be back for a while."

Jiang Jinzhu responded with an "oh," and mumbled, "Work is important, work is important."

Linlin and Yan Yuan used to come here as listeners.

The old man just wanted to talk to someone, and he felt that the nanny was an outsider, so he wouldn't talk to her.

When Linlin and Yan Yuan came, he would tell them stories from his youth over and over again.

Now that Shen Man has arrived, she can go back and forth with him, and she can respond to anything he says, which makes the old man even more interested in talking.

Linlin secretly gave Shen Man a thumbs up.

Sister Manman is really good at "talking nonsense"!

Linlin is now a junior in college, with a GPA that is far ahead of the rest, and she has shown great talent, especially in high-speed fluid mechanics and aircraft structural mechanics.

I haven't even graduated yet, but I've already been recruited into my supervisor's research group and am working as an assistant at the research institute.

Her advisor even gave her a definite answer: once she graduates, he will apply to assign her to the research institute.

The research institute at the university's main campus is a national key aerospace research institute and a first-class national defense research unit with a distinguished status and strong capabilities.

This is Linlin's goal, so she has never slacked off in her studies.

Now that she has this opportunity, she certainly won't miss it.

So starting from the summer of her junior year, she would go to the lab every weekend to work on a vertical military research project with her supervisor, which was equivalent to an early internship.

Jiang Jinzhu's side became less frequent.

Fortunately, Yan Yuan is there. Yan Yuan's career is now on the right track, and he has more time.

Thanks to Linlin, the elders of several families treated him very well and regarded him as their own child.

When Linlin is busy, he often goes to visit the elderly.

However, after repeatedly running into Shen Man at Jiang Jinzhu's place, Yan Yuan felt something was amiss.

"Yan Yuan," Shen Man preemptively said before he could speak, "aren't you spoiling Linlin too much in some ways?"

Yan Yuan is good to Linlin, and Shen Man is happy to see it happen.

However, sometimes when she indulged them too much, Shen Man couldn't stand it anymore.

For example, Shen Man thought it was good for Linlin to eat vegetables, but Yan Yuan would just let her have her way. If Linlin didn't want to eat, he would let her.

Yan Yuan was silent for a moment, then said, "Actually, Guan Linlin has way too many people."

Before Su Li was born, Linlin was the youngest child in the family.

Not only in her own family, but also throughout the entire extended family, Linlin is a beloved little sister.

Linlin's grandparents in the capital, as well as her second uncle and aunt's family, including Shen Man and Jiang Chengzhou, and even Yan Yuan from before, all treat Linlin like a precious treasure.

Speaking of their generation, her older sisters include Shen Man, Su Pei, and Su Yao.

My older brother has Jiang Chengzhou, Li Xuan, and Yan Yuan from before.

Yan Yuan only realized something was wrong after he got together with Linlin.

The pampering Linlin received was actually a form of control.

From things as big as not being allowed to do anything dangerous, to things as small as eating vegetables.

Everyone wants to give her what they think is good.

Linlin is sensible and knows that others are doing it for her own good, so she accepts it all.

She didn't actually have a rebellious phase. Just like when she was little, Jiang Chengzhou would stick to him and go out to sea on a boat together.
