Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After dinner, Huo Xunzhou’s grandmother had a conversation with Lin Shanchu.
As they chatted, the old lady took out an exquisite gift box from her bag.
“I don’t know what you like, but I thought that ladies probably like shiny things, so I prepared a necklace.”
The old lady’s obvious gesture of giving a gift to her granddaughter-in-law at their first meeting caused Lin Shanchu to be at a loss for words.
Everyone in the Yun family treated her with kindness, just like when she first met Huo Xunzhou.
She did not get this kind of treatment often, so she did not know how to deal with it.
She looked up for Huo Xunzhou and tried to ask him for help.
However, she could not find Huo Xunzhou at all after looking around.
The old lady, who saw through Lin Shanchu’s thoughts at a glance, stuffed the gift box into her hands with a smile.
“Since you’re already calling me Grandma, shouldn’t a granddaughter-in-law accept a gift from her grandma?”
“Thank you, Grandma.”
Lin Shanchu felt that what she said made sense.
She took the gift box and flipped it over. She looked up and asked the old lady, “Can I open it now?”
The old lady nodded lovingly.
Lin Shanchu opened the gift box and found a diamond necklace.
The diamond was transparent and sparkling with excellent color.
Lin Shanchu kind of liked it, so her eyes brightened.
“It’s so beautiful. I like it.” Lin Shanchu looked up and saw that the old lady’s eyes were red – rimmed.
The old lady turned her face away to calm herself down before turning back to continue speaking.
“I’m sorry. I thought of Xunzhou’s mother. She loved diamonds since she was young. Her eyes lit up when she saw diamond jewelry.”
It was exactly the same as the lady in front of her.
The old lady took a deep breath, lowered her eyes and said softly, “When she passed away, she was a few years older than you.”
Lin Shanchu knew that Huo Xunzhou’s mother passed away early.
Lin Shanchu did not say anything and held the old lady’s hand.
The old lady held her hand and said, “You and Xunzhou are both good children. It’s not easy for both of you. You have to be well.”
Lin Shanchu guessed that the Yun family must have investigated her background long ago.
Her past was not a secret. It was normal for a family like the Yun family to check the information of their grandson’s girlfriend.
Lin Shanchu did not mind at all.
She nodded, looking very obedient.
The old lady let go of her hand. “Go find Xunzhou. I’m old and my body is in poor health. I should go back and rest.”
“Alright.’
Lin Shanchu got up and went out, only to see Yun Hongru hurriedly leaving with his walking stick and his back facing her.
Did the old man eavesdrop on her conversation with the old lady just now?
Lin Shanchu chased after him.
“Grandpa?”
The old man stopped and looked a little embarrassed.
Lin Shanchu calmly sized him up and said, “Grandma said she’s going back to rest. ”
The old man nodded as he replied, “Yes, I heard it.”
As he spoke, he glanced at the door of the room, as if he wanted to go over but dared not do so.
“Shanshan.”
Lin Shanchu turned around and saw Huo Xunzhou.
“Where did you go just now?”
“I went to answer a phone call.”
Huo Xunzhou noticed the gift box in Lin Shanchu’s hand.
“Grandma gave it to me,” Lin Shanchu explained softly. “It’s a diamond necklace. It’s very beautiful.”
At this moment, the old lady also walked out of the room.
The old man walked up to her with his walking stick and said cautiously,
“Shixian, why don’t you stay at home today?”
The old lady replied coldly, “I’m not used to living here.”
“Shanshan.” Lin Shanchu turned to look at Huo Xunzhou when she heard him calling her.
Huo Xunzhou hesitated for a moment before asking her seriously, “Can you stay here for a few days?”
Lin Shanchu tilted her head and agreed readily.
“Sure. ”
She knew that Huo Xunzhou wanted to use her to mend the relationship between the old couple.
Huo Xunzhou took her hand and whispered, “Thank you.”
“You’re welcome.” Lin Shanchu whispered into his ear, “It’s rare for a big baby to beg me.”
Huo Xunzhou’s expression froze instantly. Then, he said helplessly, “The nickname in the group chat was changed by my aunt…” “Oh.” Lin Shanchu blinked and said, ‘Grandma is leaving.”
She pushed Huo Xunzhou over.
“Grandma, Shanshan has been staying in a hotel since she came to Capital City.
I want her to stay at our house.”
“Of course, that’s great. The hotel is definitely not as comfortable as home.”
When the old lady faced Huo Xunzhou, she immediately changed her expression and became unusually gentle.
“She can keep you company.” Huo Xunzhou added.
When the old lady heard those words, her expression froze for a moment.
She Imew her grandson well, so she immediately understood what Huo Xunzhou was up to.
After a while, the old lady nodded. “Alright.”
After deciding to stay with the Yun family, Huo Xunzhou asked Li MO to drive Lin Shanchu to the hotel to pack her things. contemporary romance
When Lin Shanchu arrived at the Yun family’s house with her luggage, she met Cheng Fanjing at the entrance.
Cheng Fanjing frowned when she saw Lin Shanchu.
What was this woman doing in the Yun family?
Lin Shanchu ignored Cheng Fanjing and walked in.
Cheng Fanjing took a deep breath, adjusted her expression and walked in with a smile.
When Cheng Fanjing arrived at the entrance, a servant had gone inside to inform the family.
She was brought to the reception room.
Yun Hongru was already waiting for her inside.
“Grandpa Yun,” Cheng Fanjing said as she nodded respectfully.
Yun Hongru smiled and pointed at the chair, gesturing for her to sit down. “Fanjing, why are you free to come over today?”
“My grandfather has just recovered from a serious illness. His birthday will be in a few days and he wants to hold a birthday banquet. However, his body is still recovering and he needs more rest, so he left the job of sending invitations to me.”
Cheng Fanjing handed the invitation to Yun Hongru with both hands.
Yun Hongru took it and glanced at it. “Go back and tell your grandfather that I’ll be there.”
The aristocratic families were all inextricably linked. The Cheng family and the Yun family had always been in contact. Since the other family asked their granddaughter to personally send the invitation, so they had to give face.
The invitation was accepted and the matter was over.
Under normal circumstances, Cheng Fanjing should have left.
However, she did not get up.
Cheng Fanjing held the teacup and asked casually, “Do you have guests today?”
“Yes, she’s the daughter of Xunzhou’s teacher. Unfortunately, her mother is no longer alive, so I invited her over for dinner and let her stay for a few days to express my gratitude.”
Yun Yi had told Yun Hongru that Huo Xunzhou and Lin Shanchu did not want to announce their relationship yet, so he only told Cheng Fanjing what everyone knew.
Cheng Fanjing’s eyes flashed. “I see. You’re really kind.”
“In life, one should know how to repay kindness.” Yun Hongru leaned on his walking stick with both hands and the expression on his face faded a little.
“Moreover, Shanshan has a good temper. She is pretty, obedient and lovable. Yun Hongru knew that Cheng Fanjing had always looked down on Huo
Xunzhou.
His grandson was so outstanding that there were plenty of good ladies who liked him!
