Jiang Cheng also drank a lot of alcohol today.
These big shots are usually the object of toasts wherever they go.
It was rare to meet people of similar status who also needed to be flattered.
Cup after cup of wine went down, and by the end, everyone stumbled out, drunk, supported by their Bodyguards.
Especially Wang Shi, who kept shouting that he absolutely had to marry Wang Lin by the end of the night.
This made Wang Lin so shy that she left early.
Fortunately, Jiang Cheng's alcohol tolerance had directly risen a level after he received the system.
Aside from a slight headache after being tipsy, there were no other problems.
He even acquired a whole bunch of new Girls' wechat numbers.
After returning to the Courtyard House, Zhou Ying and Fang Yuan had already left.
Just as Jiang Cheng picked up his phone to text Zhou Ying, Wang Lin's message came in first.
"I'm Wang Lin."
"Are you home? I saw you drank a lot. Go back and have something to sober up, take care of yourself."
Facing Wang Lin's concern, Jiang Cheng replied concisely with four words: "Thanks for your concern."
Immediately after, Jiang Cheng took out his phone and sent messages to Zhou Ying and Fang Yuan.
He quickly received replies from both of them.
Seeing that both of them had safely arrived home, Jiang Cheng finally relaxed, lay down on the bed, and had a good night's sleep.
The next day at noon, after Jiang Cheng woke up, he tidied himself up briefly, then drove directly to Great-Grandfather's residence.
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, today was the last day of 2017.
Generally speaking, for the Lunar New Year, most people choose to go back to their hometowns and spend it with their parents and relatives.
As for the last day of the Gregorian calendar, for young people, it's more about staying in their workplaces and celebrating the New Year with friends.
He had already arranged to go to a nightclub with Wang Congcong in the evening.
But Jiang Cheng chose to have dinner with his own grandfather.
After leaving home, Jiang Cheng first went to some boutique fruit stores and various tonic shops to buy things.
Although with Great-Grandfather's status and his own orchard, they actually lacked no fruits or vegetables.
And as for various expensive nutritional supplements, they were countless.
But Jiang Cheng had discovered before that Great-Grandfather and Second Grandfather seemed to particularly cherish the things he brought.
It wasn't that they hadn't seen these things before; it was simply that they were purely enjoying the feeling of being cared for by their grandson and the liveliness.
After arriving at Great-Grandfather's Courtyard House, Jiang Cheng tidied up the items, then carried the bags and walked into the Courtyard House.
Wang Sheng and the others were, as usual, arranged in a room in the adjacent courtyard.
Jiang Cheng had seen the room they were staying in.
It had beds, tables, chairs, a TV, and other facilities for them to rest.
Upon entering the courtyard, Jiang Cheng saw the two old men sitting in the courtyard basking in the sun.
Second Grandfather seemed to be asleep with his eyes closed, while Great-Grandfather was holding an old-fashioned pipe, fiddling with it.
As Jiang Cheng approached, he softly called out, "Great-Grandfather, Second Grandfather."
The voice was neither too loud nor too soft, just enough to be heard without waking Second Grandfather.
Hearing Jiang Cheng's call, Great-Grandfather immediately put down the pipe in his hand, a smile appearing on his face.
He stood up and quickly walked to Jiang Cheng, smiling, "You're here! Come and sit."
The aunt who had been standing by, always ready to serve, immediately turned and walked into the main hall upon seeing Jiang Cheng's arrival.
Then she quickly moved a round wooden stool next to Great-Grandfather's lounge chair.
Although this subtle movement was small, it still caught Second Grandfather's attention.
He immediately woke up from his doze.
When he saw that the person who arrived was Jiang Cheng, a hint of surprise flashed in Second Grandfather's eyes, and he immediately sat up straight, as if all his drowsiness had vanished.
With a surprised smile on his face, he affectionately asked, "My dear grandson, you're here!"
Jiang Cheng smiled and nodded in response, then led Great-Grandfather by the hand to Second Grandfather's side.
"Second Grandfather, did I wake you?"
Jiang Chenghong shook his head upon hearing this; "No, I was just bored, and the sun was so comfortable that I dozed off."
Seeing him gently place the brought items on the table, Jiang Chenghong spoke up, "Next time you come, you don't need to bring anything anymore."
Great-Grandfather added, "Exactly, we lack nothing at home."
Despite saying so, Second Grandfather and Great-Grandfather happily looked through the items Jiang Cheng brought, their hearts filled with joy.
"I tried these fruits when I bought them just now. To be honest, they're really not as good as the ones Grandpa grows."
Great-Grandfather laughed heartily upon hearing this, "Our good grandson certainly knows good stuff."
Seeing Great-Grandfather sit down and begin to pack new tobacco into his pipe.
Jiang Cheng tentatively said, "Great-Grandfather seems to have a heavy smoking habit. Don't smoke too much. Didn't your last physical examination say there were some small nodules in your lungs?"
Great-Grandfather laughed heartily upon hearing this, "I started smoking when I was young, can't quit now. But my good grandson, let me tell you something very magical: these past few days, I've noticed some changes in my body."
Jiang Cheng then asked, "Oh, what changes?"
Great-Grandfather smiled and replied, "Recently, I feel like my strength has increased quite a bit, and some of my old ailments haven't recurred."
Jiang Cheng's heart rejoiced, but he continued to ask calmly, "These changes are good things."
Great-Grandfather took a deep puff of his pipe, then emotionally said, "Yes, lately my body has felt unprecedentedly light. The doctor told me my pulse has become stronger. Before, I didn't pay much attention to this change, but yesterday I had another detailed check-up, and the results were surprising: the nodules in my lungs have shrunk significantly. Isn't that amazing? And my lungs seem to be getting younger..."
Hearing this, Jiang Cheng was secretly delighted.
He knew that all of this was due to the healing card he had received from Huang Yuqi.
Although he understood in his heart, Jiang Cheng still pretended to be very surprised: "It truly is amazing."
Second Grandfather, who was nearby, couldn't help but exclaim, "Yes, Big Brother, you always smoke, who would have thought those nodules could actually shrink? This is simply a blessing from heaven!"
Great-Grandfather laughed heartily, "I also can't figure out why these nodules suddenly shrank. Maybe it's just 'a happy occasion brings good spirits,' and when your mood is good, you naturally feel your body has improved."
