He could see it clearly now.
This grandson was genuinely serious about Xiao Tian.
If he didn't truly care for the young girl, he wouldn't have left the country for years and returned with his feelings unchanged.
"Xiao Yuan, you're still young, and Xiao Tian is even younger. There's no need to rush this."
Chi Ge felt that his grandson was a bit too impatient.
There were some things that, as an elder, he had to remind him of in advance.
"Grandpa, I'm not in a hurry!" Chi Yiyuan said he wasn't in a hurry, but he still ran a hand through his hair in frustration.
The young girl was getting older, becoming a young lady.
Moreover, she was so beautiful and so endearing.
If he wasn't around to keep an eye on her, who knew how many people would be coveting her.
The reason Chi Yiyuan had worked so hard abroad these past few years was to return to the country sooner, so that his own little girl wouldn't be coveted by others.
But now, he was back in the country, yet still didn't have time to be by her side. The thought made him extremely displeased.
Chi Ge, an old fox who had lived for decades, could see everything clearly and understood his grandson's feelings in an instant.
"Grandpa tells you, Xiao Tian already has her own career now, and it's flourishing. You need to hurry to keep up with Xiao Tian's pace."
Although he very much hoped his grandson would end up with Su Xiaotian, if the woman was too dominant, the man might feel psychologically unbalanced. It was best for them to be evenly matched.
At the same time, Chi Ge was also worried that Chi Yiyuan might forget to develop his career due to being consumed by his feelings.
His own children had all failed, and all his hopes were now placed on his grandson, Chi Yiyuan, whom he had raised himself.
He hoped Chi Yiyuan would have a brilliant future, allowing the Chi family to regain its glory, and he also hoped Chi Yiyuan would have a happy family in the future.
It wasn't that Chi Ge was stubborn and insisted on linking a happy family with a career.
It was because he was worried about Chi Yiyuan's parents.
He was truly worried that if he passed away one day, that couple would return to the country and bully the young couple, Chi Yiyuan and Su Xiaotian.
Only by becoming strong himself could Chi Yiyuan avoid being controlled by others and better protect his wife and children.
The current policies were excellent. As long as one was willing to work hard and develop, Chi Yiyuan would surely be able to develop in just a few years.
Yes, in Chi Ge's opinion, Chi Niandong and his wife had already become decadent.
If they could force Chi Yiyuan once to achieve their goals and arrange his marriage, they could do it a second and third time.
He was getting older and couldn't protect Chi Yiyuan anymore. Everything had to rely on Xiao Yuan himself.
"Grandpa, I know," Chi Yiyuan nodded.
"Grandpa is entrusting the last of the Chi family's assets to you. The future development of the Chi family depends on you."
Chi Ge was not a man without foresight. When he saw the situation turning unfavorable, he had secretly hidden most of the Chi family's wealth.
He hadn't taken it out for so many years, all for the sake of giving future generations a chance to turn things around.
Chi Yiyuan was about to refuse, but Chi Ge stopped him.
"Xiao Yuan, Grandpa's only reliance now is you. If you don't take these things, are you going to give them to your parents and uncles and aunts who have long forgotten their roots?"
Chi Yiyuan fell silent.
Yes, during his years in Germany, he knew very well what his parents, uncles, and aunts were thinking.
"Grandpa, don't worry, I will work hard."
After Chi Yiyuan agreed, Chi Ge took him to the backyard.
In the backyard, Chi Ge instructed Chi Yiyuan to dig in the garden.
Soon, Chi Yiyuan dug out a chest in the garden. Upon opening it, it was filled with gold bars.
This was not the end. Chi Ge continued to direct Chi Yiyuan to dig in another direction, and soon another chest was found.
Chi Ge directed Chi Yiyuan to dig out four chests in total in the garden. The chests were not very large, only about a foot square.
But what they contained were truly valuable items.
Chi Yiyuan was extremely surprised. Su Dan Novel Network.
The Chi family still had so many good things.
"Grandpa, am I dreaming?" Chi Yiyuan asked softly.
"No, this is the last of our Chi family's assets. If it were all sold, it could amount to a million or so. It might not be enough to start a great career, but it's enough as a first pot of gold."
Chi Yiyuan had originally planned to start from scratch relying only on himself, but unexpectedly, joy came so suddenly.
"Grandpa, why didn't you give it to me when I first returned?" Chi Yiyuan asked with a question.
"You had just returned from abroad. How could I entrust it to you with peace of mind?"
Chi Ge snorted coldly.
His children had gone abroad and all changed drastically. Even though Chi Yiyuan was his grandson whom he had raised, he couldn't be completely at ease.
Fortunately, this grandson was still the same as he was back then.
Chi Yiyuan: "..."
It seemed that his father, uncles, and aunts had truly broken Grandpa's heart.
"Xiao Yuan, with these, I believe you will be able to develop quickly. Some of these are truly heirloom pieces that I would be reluctant to sell."
Chi Yiyuan nodded.
Indeed, some of them could be considered family heirlooms, and Chi Yiyuan himself felt a pang of regret at the thought of selling them.
"Xiao Tian is a good child. She has money. You can ask Xiao Tian if she wants to buy some."
Chi Yiyuan fell silent.
Was it really good to do this?
Besides, even if Xiao Tian had money, how much could she have?
Recently, the Su family had made quite a few significant moves. Even if Xiao Tian had earned some money in the past two years, she probably wouldn't have much left.
"Xiao Tian has also acquired many good things over the years."
Chi Ge didn't say too much. Some things still needed Chi Yiyuan to figure out for himself.
However, regarding their relationship, the old man felt he should still ask about it.
Hearing Grandpa ask, Chi Yiyuan pondered for a moment before speaking.
"Xiao Tian is still young. I'll focus on my career for the next couple of years. After two years, when Xiao Tian turns twenty, we'll establish our relationship."
Chi Ge heard this and laughed heartily.
"You brat, if you dared to show up now and say you plan to date Xiao Tian, the Su family brothers would eat you alive!"
It had to be said that Chi Ge understood the Su family brothers well.
"Grandpa, I know!" Chi Yiyuan showed a bitter smile.
Several of the Su family brothers had privately told him that they would at least wait until Su Xiaotian was twenty-four before allowing them to marry.
He still had a long way to go before he could marry.
"Grandpa, don't you want to hold your great-grandchild early?" Chi Yiyuan suddenly thought of something and leaned closer to Grandpa Chi.
Chi Ge shook his head and said, "I'm old, I can't hold them anymore. It's up to you young people."
Although Chi Ge said that, he was thinking to himself that this brat was getting smarter. He was clearly planning to use him as a pawn.
Although he also wished to hold his great-grandchild sooner, children and grandchildren have their own fortunes. Some things cannot be rushed.
