All 76 went to see grandma
Behind her, the sound of the door handle turning, she turned back, it wasn't her own private room, but the door next to hers had opened, and the icy figure with a long shadow trailing on the ground walked out, accompanied by two lines of sight that fell on her body.
The slightly raised eyebrows seemed not to be unintentionally walked out.
Covering the phone with her hand, she whispered to Wen Shi Rong on the other end of the line: "Second Uncle, it's like this for now. I'll talk to my dad about it later. Please take good care of Grandma first, and call us immediately if anything happens."
Listening to her words, Zhang's house will not shirk responsibility, and it is clear that this eldest granddaughter is filial. Wen Shi Rong hung up the phone with satisfaction.
Carefully took her father's mobile phone, Manman was about to return to her own compartment.
"Who is sick?"
A faint and cold voice came over, mixed with a tentative probing, as if it was an iron clip opening a trap.
"No." Without turning back, she coldly said two words and quickly entered the private room, closing the door behind her.
Hearing the sound of the door closing, Jiang Dashao, who was driving tonight and hadn't had a drink, turned around to see his wife's face looking a bit pale. He stood up: "What's wrong?"
At the dinner table, both her father and father-in-law were half-drunk. Manman pulled her husband to a corner and said: "Just now my second uncle called and said that my grandmother had a stroke at home."
This is definitely not good news.
Several thoughts flashed through her mind, and she frowned slightly. What worried her more was that her wife would be implicated, so she held her wife's hand and said, "Don't worry, I'm here. If they want you to go back to your hometown, I'll go with you."
"I'm quite worried." The feelings between her and grandma can't be described as deep, but Father Wen Shi Xuan's feelings for grandma are genuine. What she is more concerned about is Father's reaction after hearing the news.
"Don't tell your dad anything tonight, let him come over to our place and spend the night, tomorrow morning when he wakes up, I'll talk to him."
My husband's arrangement is not only reliable but also considerate.
She glanced up at her husband's handsome face, a small confusion: one moment he was like a little kid, the next like an adult, were all men like this?
Jiang Dashao did not expect that his wife had a mind of her own, and she was preoccupied with dealing with the sudden unexpected events.
As the meal was almost finished, I called over a server to settle the bill and pack up. I asked a server for help and had two drunken old men escorted to their daughter-in-law's Volkswagen Beetle.
"Jiang Zhongxiao and the others seem to have finished eating and left." "Opening a slit in the door, I observed that Jiang Yan and his group had gone downstairs," said Gao Daxia.
Tonight, until Master Jun suddenly said that sentence to Manman after going out, Gao Dashi finally understood: Master Jun's cup of wine tonight is not on the seafood, but on Manman.
Reported the situation to Master Jun, but after being rejected by Manman, he sat in a chair with one leg propped up on the other, his slender fingers supporting his eyebrows, and his eyes seemed to be staring at some place.
It seems like the high and mighty lord has been struck down.
"Sir." Gao Da Shuai carefully probed with a sentence, "Should we give Jiang Zhongxiao a call?"
"Master is completely absent-minded, or rather, he's like a mute who can't speak properly. He lowered his head and turned the dashboard: 'Let's go. I ate too much tonight. You drove here, didn't you? Let's take a drive.'"
An expression of disappointment or frustration.
Gao Daxiao looked at the two dishes on the table, not even a tenth of which had been eaten. Jun Ye didn't dare eat, and Gao Daxiao dared even less. It wasn't that he was stingy with money, but rather Jun Ye's words "eating too much" left him speechless, asking the heavens for answers.
"How come you're not full?" He raised an eyebrow in curiosity as he saw Comrade Junye standing still.
"No." The young master hadn't eaten much but was already full, he was tall and handsome, one mouthful not eaten of course couldn't say wasn't full, hugging his stomach said, "I'm very full, too full, Young Master you're right, let's go for a stroll."
He threw a few large bills on the table and didn't even need to ask for change, Gao Dashi rushed ahead to drive for Jun Ye.
After getting into his car, he asked: "Where would you like to go for a drive?"
"Let's take a walk around the courtyard of my house." said Junye with a thoughtful tone.
Gao Da Shuai wants to hit the wall: Jun Ye, you said you wanted me to send you home, just say it directly, I Gao Da Shuai am not unwilling to send.
The car headed towards Mr. Jun's house, with two gentlemen sitting in the car. The wheels spun quickly and before long, they had caught up with Comrade Jiang Yantong's Volkswagen Beetle.
"I said, 'That handsome guy's mouth is always idle, seeing a man drive a Beetle, he immediately started bragging,' Is Colonel Jiang not good at driving, why did he choose a Beetle?"
"That's not his car."
When did Jiang Yan and Jun Ye have such a good relationship, so good that he didn't know some of his tall and handsome facts, and asked discontentedly: "Jun Ye, it's not his car, which friend did he borrow from?"
His wife's.
Jun Ye isn't close with Jiang Yan comrade to the point where, if it weren't for his sister's car, he wouldn't care what kind of car his brother-in-law drives.
"Did his wife buy a car?" "Gao Dashi said, Manman is really rich."
His sister is now slowly becoming rich, even when she was poor, his sister was a pearl in the sand.
"He bought it for his wife." But in a way, Jun Ye hoped that his sister would have something to ask of him, so he could have the feeling of being a brother who could support her through thick and thin.
Gao Dashi listened, Jun Ye's tone was sometimes east and sometimes west, a bit entangled and self-contradictory. As a result, the flattery didn't dare to be reckless, because it wasn't easy to praise.
In front of them, the Volkswagen car first stopped in front of Chiang's father and mother's large courtyard. Jiang Yan helped his father get out of the car to send him upstairs.
"Halt." With one word from Master Jun.
Gao Dashi parked his car at a distance of one car from the Beetle: It seems that tonight, he is determined to follow Meng Meng to the end with his life. I wonder if Jiang Zhongxiao minds?
The car lights in front were flashing on and off. It seemed like a car was about to come out of the yard, with half of the Beetle blocking the entrance.
The front door opened and Manman walked down, intending to go around to the other side and sit in the driver's seat.
Gao Dashi said: Oh, Jiang Zhongxiao's wife can drive. No wonder Jiang Zhongxiao bought a car for his wife.
Suddenly, the car door opened with a bang. The tall and handsome man turned his head to look, and Jun Ye rushed out of the car door. He quickly turned off the engine, unfastened his seatbelt and chased after him.
Manman has been learning to drive for so long, and now she only needs to take the road test. She had helped Du Yu back up his small truck several times at the entrance of the gallery, so when her husband was not around, she thought it would be no problem to back up a little bit.
Sit in the driver's seat, don't even need to pull the safety belt, start the engine.
Wen Shi Xuan, who was sitting in the back seat, heard the sound of the car starting and opened his drunken eyes to see that it wasn't his son-in-law driving, but his daughter, which suddenly woke him up.
"Manman, you can't drive!"
Manman wasn't scared by the car in front, but was startled by his father's two hands coming from behind, and almost lost grip on the steering wheel, quickly stepping on the brake.
The tortoise, which had retreated only a foot, startled both the tall and handsome Gao Da and Jun Ye.
Wen Shi Xuan fell back into his seat. Man Man pulled down the gearshift, wiping the cold sweat from the back of her hand. She heard the sound of the car window rattling beside her.
The car window went down.
His icy face stared at her in horror.
Comrade Jiang Yan just sent his father back and returned. Seeing so many people surrounding the Volkswagen, he was stunned: "What's going on?"
Gao Dashi pointed at him and said: "Director Jiang, your wife can't drive, don't let her drive! She just backed into a car and almost slid down the slope."
As soon as he heard this, Jiang Dashao's face suddenly changed, and for the first time, he scolded his wife: "Manman!"
It's no use arguing, it seems like I'm really out of luck. It was clear that I would be able to get my driver's license, but now it looks like I'll have to put off asking my husband for permission until after tonight.
He glared at Gao Dashi, walked around the front of the car and returned to the passenger seat.
Suddenly thought of his father didn't know if he had fallen just now, turned his head and saw Wen Shi Xuan lying on the back seat.
"Dad!"
Manman was shocked and pale, rushed out of the car door, and ran around to the back seat.
When he heard his daughter-in-law's loud cry, Jiang Yan was also startled and opened the rear door on the other side.
He shook Wen Shi Xuan's body, but Wen Shi Xuan leaned his head to the side, closed his eyes, and slapped his face without waking up, no one knew what was going on.
"Dad! Dad!" she cried out loud.
Tears welled up in her eyes.
"Slow down, don't be in a hurry." Jiang Dashao comforted his wife while thinking that his brother-in-law was right here, and turned around.
Jun Ye stood coldly by the car, his eyes as frosty as ice, two pupils devoid of emotion, locked onto Wen Shi Xuan who didn't move a single muscle.
That gaze, to put it bluntly, seemed as if he couldn't wait for Wen Shi Xuan to take over right this instant.
Jiang Dashao's words asking Master Jun for help were retracted, and he quickly sent Wen Shixuan to the hospital.
At this time, Manman suddenly got out of the car.
"Man man——The car key turned back, Jiang Dashao opened the door together, worried that his impulsive wife would do something."
Man Man stood in front of Jun Ye, her big glasses couldn't cover the crescent-shaped eyes, at this moment two sharp rays of light: "You take a look."
Her frosty eyebrows slanted upwards: "Didn't you say that no matter what, you wouldn't come to ask me?"
"You once said that if I did something, I should wait for the consequences. Now I'm telling you the same thing: if you abandon him now, you'll have to wait for the consequences."
Words, one by one, burst forth from tender and slightly pale lips, but the voice was as strong as iron, like fire, like moths darting into flames, each word revealing a resolute determination that brooked no refusal.
Gao Da Shuai was shocked and couldn't speak: for the first time in his life, he saw Master Jun being threatened by someone.
Anyone who knows Master will understand that whoever dares to threaten Master is asking for death.
"Vines! The worst situation has occurred, Jiang Yan pulled his wife's sleeve."
The vines were still and motionless, like another iceberg opposing the ice mountain, standing there.
Her calm eyes swept past Wen Shi Xuan in the car, unmoved.
In an instant, the atmosphere reached a scorching heat that could melt metal and stone.
It doesn't matter how it's done, this patient's condition can't be delayed, and it seems that Master will not move.
"Quickly, listen to me, drive to the nearest hospital, it's very close." Jiang Dashao said, not caring about anything else, and pulled his wife to get into the car.
Ke Manman swung his hand again, facing that motionless face: "I give you three seconds, the last chance."
It's impossible for him and Wen Shi Xuan to coexist.
"Ah! Jiang Dashao was so anxious that his eyes were red and his throat was on fire."
Is she forcing herself to break up with the Lu family?
"Brother." At this time, Gao Da Shuai as an outsider also saw that something was not right. Based on the brotherly feelings between him and Jun Ye for many years, he said, "Just treat him like nobody, let him take a look casually."
"I can let him see." The icy lips suddenly opened unexpectedly for everyone, "But I said I have conditions."
"What's the condition?"
She saw that the net had already been cast out.
"For the time being, I haven't thought of it, but when I do, I'll let you know." "The light in your icy eyes is swirling with a seductive yet irresistible temptation," "How about it? You can still choose, to want or not to want."
Want
Extremely simple and quick, just one word, yet it shocked all three people present.
The corners of his cold lips curled up, gazing at her crescent-shaped eyes, and it was clear that he had a complex feeling about her answer. But this was the first time she asked him for help, and he finally found some use in being her brother, although the object of her affections was the man he hated the most.
"Make way." A cold voice gave the order.
Others gave up their seats.
As he bent down and entered the back compartment, his hand reached out to touch Wen Shi Xuan's carotid artery. For a moment, he couldn't help but feel an overwhelming urge to strangle him, showing that this hatred was beyond even his own control.
"Dad—" Mianmian softly called out, but was pressed down by her husband.
The touch of the pulse and breathing indicated that Wen Shi Xuan was stimulated after getting drunk. A cold glance swept over, landing on a phone that had fallen to the floor of the car. Behind her, his fingers skillfully hooked around it, silently pulling Wen Shi Xuan's phone into his palm. He had been interested in her phone call at the wine house earlier. Taking a look, the text message that Wen Shi Xuan had opened was still on the screen: "Big brother, mom has fallen critically ill, please return home as soon as possible."
So that's how it is.
The old mother is critically ill.
This old woman seems to have some connection with the jade pendant, judging from the information she inadvertently revealed that day.
Leng Mei slightly raised an eyebrow, put the phone into Wen Shi Xuan's pocket, and turned around to say to them: "Nothing serious, go back and drink some tea to sober up, let him sleep for a while."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Dashao's sharp eyes quickly discovered the half-exposed mobile phone in Wen Shixuan's pocket. So when his wife was about to ask for more details, he whispered two sentences in her ear.
Dad knew Grandma had something happen to her, so...
Hurry up and get on the car with my husband, sending father back home to rest is the most important thing.
Saw the Beetle car flash by in an instant, Gao Daxiao felt a bit unappreciated: "They didn't even say thank you."
Thank you.
If she really said thank you to him, it was just a courtesy, and sounded cold.
"Not needed." Three cold words.
Kissed up to the wrong horse. Gao Daxiao touched his forehead - damn it.
However, Jun Ye seemed to be in a much better mood, and he even patted his shoulder and said: "Thanks for taking me on this trip."
"You're too kind, sir."
When praised, her face smiled like a flower, but when she was given a cold glance, she immediately wilted.
Did you really think Master Jun would thank you?
……
Jiang Dashao carried Wen Shixuan into the house on his back.
Mang Mang quickly opened the prepared guest room door and let her father lie on the bed with a well-laid sheet.
"A Yan, I've got this, you go rest." Man Man said, fearing her husband would be exhausted.
Jiang Dashao was even more afraid of his wife getting tired, so he took the initiative to fetch a basin of water and pulled her aside, wringing out a towel to wipe down Wen Shi Xuan.
Seeing her husband do so much for his father, Manman's heart was moved, and warmth filled her entire chest. She quickly turned around to help her father with the wine tea, while also searching the refrigerator and storage cabinet for something to give her husband a refreshing drink.
After drinking the hangover tea, Jiang Dashao received a special reward from his wife - a cup of specially made plum tea. Not only that, but she also stood on tiptoes and gave him another kiss on the cheek, especially praising his performance as a son-in-law tonight.
Jiang Dashao was kissed by his wife until he felt a little dizzy, sipping tea and moving a chair to sit on the edge of Wen Shixuan's bed.
"Dad." Manman sat at the head of the bed, saying to her father who was either awake or asleep, "Don't worry, Grandma has a good fate, she'll definitely get through this difficult time. Tomorrow, I'll pack my things and go with you to see Grandma."
"It's no use." As soon as he heard his daughter say this, Wen Shixuan suddenly sat up in bed.
Jiang Dashao almost got spat on, and he raised his sharp eyes to look at Wen Shixuan.
"Manman, you now have your own home, your father-in-law treats you well, how can you not prepare anything and follow me back to our old home?" Wen Shixuan said.
"Dad, Yan doesn't mind." Manman said while looking at her husband.
Jiang Dazhuo, who raised an eyebrow at Wen Dad, smiled slightly: "Father-in-law, I'll take a few days off and accompany you and Manman back home."
"How can that be? You're in the army." Wen Shixuan himself had never been a soldier, and he deeply admired military personnel, especially after meeting Jiang's father tonight.
"The army is not a place without human feelings. Don't look at the soldiers holding guns, that's for the enemy, but soldiers are actually the most emotional towards their loved ones." Comrade Jiang Yantong said with a smile in his eyes.
Looking at my husband, his shining eyes are like the softest star in the sky. My heart is racing as if I've fallen in love again, just like a 17 or 18-year-old girl experiencing her first love. I couldn't help but blush.
The two of them are considered to have had a flash marriage. Many people say that flash marriages don't have good results, but she and her military husband live their lives bit by bit, digging out the taste of love, and it's not bad either.
When Wen Shixuan heard his son-in-law's words full of philosophy, he was also moved, speechless.
"It's settled then, Father-in-law, you have a good rest tonight. Tomorrow I'll find someone to buy train tickets. If we want to hurry, taking a plane is also an option." Comrade Jiang Yan said, now the master of the house, directing his little wife and honest father-in-law.
The little wife is willing to obey the organization's arrangement as long as her husband leads correctly.
"Right, Manman." Wen Shixuan suddenly thought of something and asked his eldest daughter, "Does your mother's side know about this, or does Yuanyuan?"
"Second Uncle and Second Aunt have already told me," said Manman, "I think Mother must know by now."
Zhang Qiuyan would be strange if she didn't tell Xu Yu'e about this immediately. Because when the old man is ill, the responsibility of taking care of the old man first thinks of his son and daughter-in-law, not his daughter.
In traditional thinking, daughters are water splashed out.
Besides, among the three daughters of the Wen family, except for the youngest sister who had passed away when Mianmian was still young, the other two elder sisters were not easy to deal with.
When they heard that their mother was ill, the two sons of the Wen family were considered filial. Wen Shih Rong didn't care about the cost and sent his mother to a good hospital in the city. In the following days, the expenses for his mother's stay in the hospital would be considerable. Although Wen Shih Rong had made a lot of money, it was uncertain whether he could afford it.
Zhang Qiuyan is financially savvy and manages money tightly, probably won't let her own family spend money alone. The two aunts can't be relied on, so the next one to spend big money will be the eldest son's family.
Manman thought for a moment and sighed: Xu Yujiao is even more petty than Zhang Qiuyan, the internal war at home is about to begin.
"Quickly." Wen Shixuan looked at his daughter's worried face and could think of what she was thinking. He stretched out his two feet to put on his shoes, "If your mom finds out, she'll definitely make a scene at home. If I don't go back, she'll come here looking for us."
"Dad, rest assured. Mom didn't even call over, she's thinking of taking advantage of your absence to avoid Erniang." Manman suddenly grasped Xu Yuye's thoughts.
Wen Shixuan stopped in his tracks.
Jiang Dashao smiled: "Father-in-law, what Manman said is right. If you go back, it will only add trouble for your wife. Your wife will jump with anger."
Made a fool of himself in front of his son-in-law, Wen Shixuan's old face turned red and he retreated back to bed.
After Father lay down to sleep, Manman and her husband returned to their own room.
The daughter-in-law immediately started packing her luggage, folding clothes into the suitcase, and finding Mo Wenyang's phone number to ask him to buy plane tickets through someone.
While her husband was talking with Mo Wenyang, Manman saw a call from Erniang and walked out to the living room to answer it.
"Vine, vine." Zhang Qiuyan was not as good as Wen Shirong. After all, a mother-in-law is a mother-in-law, not a mother. When the mother-in-law fell ill, she thought about it in the same way as Manman and was more worried about money and people. "Your mom said your dad isn't around, so it's inconvenient to make decisions. Is your dad with you?"
I don't dare call Wen Shi Xuan directly about these things because of an unsuitable identity.
As soon as she turned around, she caught Second Aunt's abacus, and Manman said straightforwardly: "Second Aunt, what do you have to say?"
Zhang Qiuyan said, "Mianmian, it's like this. I originally wanted to go back to our hometown with your mom tomorrow, after all, your grandma's illness is serious. However, I'm tied up here and just found someone to discuss the graduate school matter with Haosheng. Moreover, isn't your second uncle taking care of your grandma at home? So I thought of letting your mom go back first, and I'll leave as soon as I finish my business here. But your mom said that Yuanyuan also needs to attend university. As far as I know, didn't Yuanyuan's transfer fall through?"
Wen Yu pretended to be Lu Shang's niece and attended a few days of high school without the knowledge of her second uncle and aunt.
"Second Aunt, I'm her daughter, and you know the current relationship between my mom and me. I don't know anything about these things of my mom's, it's better if you ask my mom and Yuanyuan directly." said Manman.
"No matter how your relationship with your mom goes, you and your dad can't neglect your grandma."
It seemed that Xiang couldn't move Yu'e, so he directly hit her.
Taking care of the elderly is not possible with just two big men, it's either Zhang Qiuyan who takes care of them or Xu Yuye, the two aunts can't be relied on, and among the remaining granddaughters, Manman is the first in line, she can't escape.
Manman had intended to accompany her father on this trip, to see the situation, and if it wasn't going well, she would stay behind. But hearing Erniang and others one by one trying to shirk responsibility, her heart was filled with anger. No matter how you put it, after all, the old lady is your husband's mother, can you bear to treat the elderly like this without fearing that your husband will feel cold-hearted?
"Second aunt, I'm already a married woman with in-laws now. My father-in-law even has heart problems." Manman replied indifferently, shutting down Zhang Qiuyan's words.
On the phone, Zhang Qiuyan's breathing became a bit urgent: "Alright. If you can't come back, Grandma has something to do with each and every one of you."
"The responsibility lies with you and my mom, not me." Manman said coldly and hung up the phone.
Family members, if it's not a very close relationship, even when they're ill or dying, they'll still be this indifferent, can't even compare to strangers.
"Ah." After finishing the phone call with Mo Wenyang, looking at his wife coming in with a furious face turning pale, Jiang Dashao hurriedly went over to hug her, "What's wrong? Who made you angry?"
"A'yan, this time I go back, if grandma is not okay, need me to stay, can I stay?" Manman looked up at her husband and asked for his opinion.
After marrying, she has someone to accompany her for life, and she can no longer act arbitrarily. Moreover, if she leaves home, it may affect her husband's mood in serving the army.
Jiang Dashao did not expect the consequences to be so severe, and soon thought of the reason behind it. His eyebrows furrowed, just like his wife's temper: "Are they unwilling to go back and take care of the elderly?"
"If they don't want to go back, you can't force them with a gun." Manman tried to ease her husband's anger with a joke.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Dashao got an idea from this and boasted to his wife: "This is a great idea. I'll really take a gun and press it against their heads, see if they dare not go back!"
"A Yan!" Manman was slightly startled.
"It's actually very simple to get them to go back, no need for guns, just tell them that their grandmother has left a legacy and they'll definitely rush back immediately." Jiang Dashao raised an eyebrow, revealing his plan.
"Is it easy to deceive them?" Manman shook her head, thinking that her husband's idea was not feasible.
It's already common knowledge whether the old man has money or not.
"Let's just say, your grandmother hid a treasure, and what she gave everyone before were all replicas. The real treasure has always been secretly kept by herself, without letting anyone know." Jiang Dashi stroked his chin thoughtfully.
Upon hearing her husband's words, Manman immediately thought of the jade pendant and looked at him with a glimmer in her eyes that was both cautious and apprehensive: "A Yan, do you... know about this piece of jade?"
"Alright." Pressing down on his wife's small shoulders, it was time to say some things. "This jade pendant of yours, I think, isn't a cheap thing, and even more so, not the kind of low-quality fake jade that Wen Haoye and her family wear. If you insist on saying it's a treasure from the Wen family, that your grandmother gave it to you, I think others will find out sooner or later, especially since your grandmother is critically ill now."
Jiang Dashao wanted to accompany his daughter-in-law back to her hometown to see her grandmother, it wasn't just a casual remark. Since Yù Pèi was related to the elderly, if the elderly had something to say before leaving, regarding Yù Pèi's affairs, he couldn't not be present to protect his daughter-in-law.
Jade pendant, of course, was given by grandma.
Wanwan thought in her heart.
However, why did her husband suddenly recall that night when he mentioned this matter, and the various shocked expressions of several people in front of the Yu Pei of the Wen family appeared before his eyes.
Some things, no matter how she thought about it, couldn't be avoided.
Can't cheat yourself.
As for the jade pendant, if I couldn't get an answer from Father, I had to ask Grandma, because Father said it was sent by Grandma.
"A'yan, let's go see grandma." He said, biting his lip.
He patted his wife's head, and Jiang Dashi continued to hold her in a tight embrace, as if spreading out his powerful wings: "Don't worry."
……
"Alas." Xu Yujiao, who was pacing back and forth at home, didn't dare to call her husband, fearing that he would order her to return to her hometown to take care of her ailing mother-in-law. As a result, she became despondent, sighing and complaining without end.
"Mom, you sit down first. I think Dad won't be back tonight, and if he does, he'll probably fight with you." Wen Huan said, really tired of watching her mother like this.
"Yuan Yuan." Xu Yujiao was now used to turning around and asking her little daughter for advice when she had no idea what to do. She grabbed her little daughter's hand and asked, "Do you think your dad will use a rope to tie me up and take me back?"
"Maybe it will," Wen Huan said, not trying to intimidate Xu Yu'e, who didn't know about Wen Shixuan's temperament, that when it came to his elderly mother, he would give up his life if necessary.
If Grandma Wen really needs Xu Yu'e, then Wen Shixuan will tie his wife up and put her in the car without saying another word.
"So," Xu Yu'e nodded her head, "we must force your aunt to go back and take care of your mother-in-law."
"Can Second Aunt be so clever?" Wen Huan knew that her mother couldn't win against Second Aunt, so she might as well let her mother give up this idea early on. Moreover, half of Second Uncle's money was in Second Aunt's hands, and if they really pushed Second Aunt to the limit, the second household would not contribute a single cent. Wen Shixuan, that filial son, would definitely make the first household pay all the expenses to save his mother. Xu Yuer would only have the fate of being angry to death.
"What are you going to do?" Xu Yu'e shouted out loud, grabbing her own hair with both hands. "If my second aunt doesn't go, who will replace me?"
"Mom, why don't you like grandma?"
"Which daughter-in-law doesn't dislike her mother-in-law?" Xǔ Yùe asked rhetorically, generalizing to defend herself.
"What if Grandma has a treasure? Now Grandma is almost dead, and if she dies, maybe she'll give the treasure to the person who takes care of her." Wen Huan said in a low voice, as if speaking casually.
Xu Yujiao blinked: I really didn't expect that old man to have any property. She smiled, waved her hand: "Impossible. Your grandma, relying on your dad's living expenses, she doesn't even have a pension or savings account. This was all investigated clearly by me and your second aunt."
"But think about it, mom. We can't find that piece of jade pendant anywhere. However, everyone now has a jade pendant in their hands, saying it's a replica of the treasure passed down from grandma and grandpa. Maybe the elderly are secretly hiding the real treasure without telling us. Because it's an important family heirloom, grandma definitely wouldn't take it out to sell." Wen Huan said, her sharp eyes staring straight at her mother.
Xu Yujiao indeed took the bait, clapping her hands in realization: "It's really like that, how could I not have thought of it? Yuanyuan you're so clever! Your sister Manman isn't as clever as you. Maybe it's because your dad is too honest and didn't dare accept the old man's things, so he returned the treasure to the old man and lied to us saying it was broken."
With Wen Shi Xuan's filial nature, it is indeed possible.
By the second day, a rumor spread from somewhere that the old man really had treasures hidden on him and hadn't taken them out to show anyone, now he was dying and they were exposed.
Thus, not only Xu Yu'e hurriedly contacted her husband to return home and pay respects to her mother-in-law, but Zhang Qiuyan and Wen Haixue, mother and daughter, were also in a hurry to pack their bags and fly back.
Wen Yu listened to her mother and father talking while folding a few clothes and stuffing them into her backpack. She thought about going back to see that old woman, with a hint of coldness at the corner of her mouth: Unexpectedly, she had only asked the old man one question, and he had a stroke on the spot.
It seems that sentence hit the old man's weakness.
It's very likely that she asked all facts.
If this were known to Mother, no, not just Mother, but all of the Wen family, what a scene it would be.
It's all quite an interesting thing when you think about it.
A smile, condensed at the corner of his mouth into a faint shadow.
The clothes were folded in half, and his mother was still frantically imagining the treasures of Value City. The phone rang, coming to his own cell phone.
Avoiding his mother, he received a call from Wen Shitong.
"Yuan Yuan, I heard that you are going back to your hometown with your mom to visit your grandma."
Wen Yu's hand casually brushed away the loose hair on her shoulder as she said somewhat absent-mindedly, "Third Uncle, I heard that she has already gone mad."
Wen Shi Tong suddenly felt a chill run down her spine, but she had no idea where she had heard the news that Yang Le'er had gone mad.
"There is no wall in the world that doesn't let wind through." Upon hearing the sound of the wind over the phone, Wen Xuan could guess what Wen Shi Tong was thinking.
"Yuan Yuan." It seems that he underestimated this little niece, after all, this little niece had seduced and instigated a university student who graduated from the Central Academy of Fine Arts to commit a crime for her. That poor university student is now in prison, and it's no wonder he fell into the trap of a femme fatale. "Third Uncle has a favor to ask of you, okay?"
Wen Shi is a ruthless person who can be both flexible and stubborn. Normally, he puts on airs in front of people like Wen Shi Xuan who have no money, but when he needs something from them, he completely changes into a flattering bootlicker.
"What's wrong, Third Uncle?" Wen Xuan said, "I'll probably be very busy this time when I go back."
What an impressive little niece, she's putting on airs in front of him now.
"This matter is actually the same as what Yang Le'er entrusted you with before, to see if you can deceive your grandmother into handing over the jade pendant she's been hiding. Third Uncle can assure you that once you get it, it will definitely be beneficial for you."
The light in Wen Yu's eyes slowly turned around and replied: "Okay. When the time comes, whatever I say, Third Uncle will agree, right?"
"It's okay, even if you say you want to go to the Central Academy of Fine Arts, Third Uncle can help you get connected and you won't even need to take the exam yourself." Wen Shitong used his usual trick to tempt his niece.
"Let's just leave it at that."
The little niece suddenly hung up his phone with a sentence that made no sense.
Wen Shi stared at the old eyes with a telephone tube hanging: vaguely felt that Wen Huan had changed, but where exactly?
……
News of Grandma Wen's critical illness soon spread and everyone who should know knew about it.
When Yao rushed into Jun's house, he saw Jun simply packing a few pieces of luggage. His narrow eyes narrowed: "Do you want to sneak away?"
"I've already spoken to my dad about it. He's asked Secretary Liu to accompany me there." After folding the clothes and packing the suitcase, he took out a yellowed black-and-white photo from his shirt pocket, which showed Mrs. Lu and him holding their little daughter with his mother.
This is the only photo left for him by Nannan.
When will Nang Nang be willing to take another photo with them?
"I'll go with you," said Mr. Yao, and turned around neatly to pack up his things as well.
"Zi Ye." Suddenly, a voice called out to stop him.
Mr. Yao turned his head and looked at him with a puzzled gaze.
"Last night, I made a condition to her, you say, should or shouldn't I force her to come back?" Comrade Junye asked this question with an unusual tone, and Tie Sen's face, under the backlight of the window sill, seemed pale.
Last night's matter, Master Yao heard it from Gao Dashuai. Who let Gao Dashuai not keep his mouth shut and was eager to share the gossip with others? Matters about me can't be known by others, they can only be told to Master Yao.
"I think——" The elegant and beautiful eyebrows were slightly lowered, the flowing eyes gazed at the shadow on the floor tiles, with a few parts of deep thought and hesitation. "She will come back sooner or later, no need for you to rush her or not."
"Are you sure?" A hint of frustration was suppressed in his throat, a glimmer of hope that he had missed some clue, she wasn't rejecting them.
"I'm sure." He lifted his head and gave a definite reply.
"How can you be certain?" The other party's answer was too quick, and his tightly knitted cold eyebrows were suspicious instead.
"Lu Jun, that night, didn't you see? She always wanted to avoid us, especially you. If she had no feelings for you at all, would she want to avoid you?"
Her eyebrows relaxed in an instant, a thread of melted smile hidden at the bottom of her eyes, and her lips curled up with a long sigh: "If so, what conditions should I ask for?"
Mr. Yao just smiled and turned around to pack his luggage quickly.
Arrived at the airport by car, carrying a small luggage bag and walking into the terminal, didn't meet the person I wanted to see, but first met Zhang Qiuyan, Wen Haosheng and others.
Facing these two powerful men, Zhang Qiuyan and Wen Haosheng's mother-daughter duo had their eyes fixed on them like hooked fish, staring straight ahead, but even with a thick face of one foot, they didn't dare to approach and collide with this icy mountain.
Dare to flatter you, Master, and the tall, handsome ones will tell them first that they will be crushed to pieces.
Wen Haosheng didn't forget about Yao Ye either. He had once pulled her nose and made her lose face with just a few words.
Yao Ye is beautiful, like the enchanting Du Meisha, bewildering people in between can kill people.
As they thought of this, the mother and daughter felt a pang in their hearts, watching as the two men whizzed past them like a gust of wind, disappearing into the distance like ethereal beings.
"Mom, you said they came to fly, where will they fly to?" Wen Haosheng asked with a curious itch in his heart.
"Grandpa's affairs, how could we possibly know." Zhang Qiuyan dryly laughed twice, feeling helpless and having no way out. This grandpa was beyond reach. She lowered her head and coughed, "Ah, why haven't your aunt and Yuanyuan arrived yet? We're almost boarding the plane."
Because Wen Shi Xuan and his daughter-in-law took the same plane, they didn't allow Xu Yu'e to come together. Xu Yu'e was anxious and entrusted Zhang Qiuyan. Zhang Qiuyan thought that going there would not only get treasures but also take care of the elderly, as it would be too difficult for one person to do it alone, so she agreed with Xu Yu'e.
Here, two men boarded through the priority entrance and went into first class.
They were seated in economy class and deliberately avoided the same flight as Xu Yu'e. Her father walked ahead, she was in the middle, and her husband was at the back.
As I walked through the first-class cabin, my father suddenly stopped in his tracks. Following his gaze, I saw two very familiar figures - it was none other than my two grandfathers.
Mr. Yao saw her and gave her a charming smile.
But Father's eyes were looking past Mr. Yao, gazing at the profile of Jun Ye who was sitting by the window.
"Dad?" asked Manman in a low voice, feeling that her father was being somewhat suspicious.
Wen Shi Xuan suddenly discovered another thing on the side face of this man who had bumped into him several times.
