Don't talk nonsense, this is the Emperor's Banner

Chapter 399: Old and Smart
"She's worried about being forced to get married, so she asked me to pretend to be her boyfriend." Shen Siyuan said.

Jiang Wenxin felt a little disappointed when she heard this, and thought to herself, I think it's true.

Tao Guangxia asked anxiously, "Where's Doudou? Did Doudou come with you?"

"No, she went out for a walk with Xiaoyue and Duoduo. I'll call her over later. You should be able to see her in the afternoon." Shen Siyuan said.

"Thank you. I haven't seen her for a while. I really miss her." Tao Guangxia said a little embarrassedly.

"That's understandable."

"Guangsha, do you know Taozi's boyfriend?"

Just then, someone else came over and interrupted their conversation.

Marriage is like this, everyone is a relative, they know each other, and they have to greet each other and reply, which is very troublesome. This is what Shen Siyuan is not good at, so he can only keep smiling and remain unchanged in the face of ever-changing circumstances.

Taozi saw this and burst out laughing.

"why are you laughing?"

"I laughed at you and Ruan Ruan, you are two completely opposite people, how come you fell in love with each other?"

"How do you say this?"

"You and I are both not good at dealing with people, but Ruan Ruan is very good at networking and can chat with anyone." Taozi said.

Shen Siyuan thought about it and said seriously: "It's possible that I am attracted by her beauty and she is attracted by my handsomeness."

Hearing this, Taozi punched him on the shoulder in anger and said, "So, when you see beautiful girls in the future, won't you fall in love with them all?"

"That's hard to say." Shen Siyuan said jokingly.

"Okay, I must tell Ruan Ruan this." Taozi said proudly.

"You are not a child anymore. Stop complaining like others."

"Humph, I don't think you are a good person either, you are sinister, sinister..."

As the two were talking, a middle-aged woman came over.

Taozi quickly stood up and called out "Aunt".

Shen Siyuan also hurriedly stood up, only to see the middle-aged woman looking at him with a smile.

"Are you Momoko's boyfriend?"

"Yes, hello, I am Taozi's boyfriend Shen Siyuan." Shen Siyuan said hurriedly.

"Okay, okay..." The aunt seemed very happy.

But Shen Siyuan was very sensitive and easily noticed that the other person's smile was not sincere and seemed a little fake.

"Taozi, your grandma heard that you have a boyfriend and asked you to bring him over to her to see him." said the eldest aunt with a smile.

"Grandma is here too." Taozi said excitedly.

Then she looked at Shen Siyuan. She asked Shen Siyuan to pretend to be her boyfriend just to deal with relatives, but now it felt like meeting their parents.

"What are you looking at me for? Let's go."

Now that it has come to this, Shen Siyuan cannot just give up halfway.

Seeing Shen Siyuan say this, Taozi seemed very happy and immediately put her arm around Shen Siyuan's.

Tao Guangxia and Jiang Wenxin, a couple who had been sitting silently on the side, immediately turned their eyes to Taozi's hand and showed joy on their faces.

Jiang Wenxin stood up and said, "I haven't seen grandma for a long time. I'll go see her."

Tao Guangxia also wanted to get up, but his aunt immediately said unhappily, "You'd better not go. She gets angry when she sees you. Today is a happy day, don't make her sick."

Tao Guangxia sat back somewhat awkwardly. Jiang Wenxin gave him a comforting look and patted him gently on the shoulder.

Tao Guangxia sighed deeply and helplessly. He was not angry at all. Instead, he understood the old man's behavior.

When Doudou passed away, he was truly devastated. Thinking of this, he looked towards Shen Siyuan with even more gratitude.

"My grandfather has passed away, and only my grandmother is left. She is old, and my eldest aunt has been taking care of her..."

On the way to meet Taozi's grandmother, Taozi whispered an introduction to Shen Siyuan.

Grandma didn't sit in the hall with the guests. Too many people and too much noise would give her a headache, so after arriving, she stayed in the hotel room to rest. She would go down to the wedding when the wedding officially started. Seeing Grandma Taozi, Shen Siyuan couldn't help but think of his own grandmother in the countryside. The two old people were very similar. They were both thin, not like many old people who get fat and look extremely bloated when they get old.

Moreover, Shen Siyuan discovered that Taozi's eyebrows were actually very similar to her grandmother's. She was wearing a bright red dress with dark gold patterns, which looked very festive.

"What a handsome young man, Taozi has a good eye."

Because her eyesight was not very good, Grandma Taozi took Shen Siyuan's hand and leaned very close to look at him.

"That's right. When you're looking for a partner, you should find someone who's good-looking. Even if you don't love him/her anymore, it's still worth it just for his/her looks..."

Shen Siyuan was amused and found that Grandma Taozi was quite humorous.

"How old is this year?"

"Twenty-six."

"Oh, it would be better if you were one year younger. Then Taozi would be three years older than you. A girl who is three years older than you is a gold brick. But it doesn't matter. A silver brick will also be fine..."

"What's your job?"

"Working in Taozi's company, I'm just an ordinary employee."

"It's better to be ordinary. You are so handsome, and it's easier to be honest if you are ordinary. Anyway, Taozi's family is rich, so you won't suffer..."

"How long have you known Taozi?"

"About four months."

"She brought you back to meet her parents after only four months, which shows that she really likes you..."

"Haha, grandma, I think so too." Shen Siyuan couldn't help but joked.

Only Taozi blushed.

"How did you know each other?"

"Sister Wenxin introduced them to each other."

When Grandma Taozi heard this, she glanced at Jiang Wenxin who was standing silently by the side, and a look of surprise flashed across her face.

Then he smiled and said, "Then she did a great thing."

"What does your family do?"

"My mother is an elementary school teacher and my father runs a chicken farm." Shen Siyuan said.

"That's good. That's good..."

Grandma Taozi gently patted the back of Shen Siyuan's hand and looked at him carefully.

"Young man, you are a capable person." Grandma Taozi said with a smile.

"Grandma, you can see this?" Shen Siyuan said with some amusement.

"If you don't have the ability, how could you make our Taozi so dizzy?"

"Grandma, no way~" Taozi refused.

……

After talking for a while, Grandma Taozi said, "I'm sorry for taking up your time. Go and have fun."

It was obvious that she was old and her energy was a little low.

"Then grandma, you should have a good rest." Taozi stood up and said.

Then he whispered to Shen Siyuan: "Grandma has not been in good health. Let's go and don't disturb her rest."

"Okay, then we'll go out first, grandma, you have a good rest."

Shen Siyuan patted the hand that was holding hers gently, then withdrew his hand and followed Taozi out of the room.

Jiang Wenxin did not go out with them, but stayed.

When the eldest aunt saw Shen Siyuan and the others go out and grandma sits there in a daze, she gently pushes her and asks in confusion, "Mom, what's wrong with you?"

Grandma Taozi didn't answer her, but looked up at Jiang Wenxin and asked, "This young man is a capable person, right?"
