After her identity was stolen, she lived in the short-lived villain's phone.

Chapter 343 Visiting Relatives and Receiving Red Envelopes

Morning light slanted into the room through the gaps in the sheer curtains, casting thin golden lines on the solid wood floor.

A few noises came from the bathroom, and soon after, Chi Yu, who had finished washing up, pushed open the glass door and came out.

Chi Yu slept very well last night, and woke up this morning looking radiant with bright, sparkling eyes and fair, glowing skin.

After washing up and changing her clothes, she took her phone, left the room, and strolled downstairs.

The Su family villa features a wooden spiral staircase. Inside the living room, Su Chengyan and his father are having breakfast at a marble dining table, while Su's mother is leisurely pruning and arranging flowers at another low table.

The three of them were chatting when they saw Chi Yu come downstairs and greeted her.

Chi Yu greeted everyone one by one.

The butler hurried forward: "Miss, today's breakfast includes shrimp congee, sandwiches, various flavored steamed buns, and fruit salad..."

The butler introduced everything one by one, and then asked Chi Yu what she wanted to eat.

Chi Yu glanced at Su Chengyan and his father's breakfast. In front of them were bowls of shrimp porridge and other snacks, which looked very appetizing.

Su Chengyan said, "The porridge tastes good today."

Upon hearing this, Chi Yu said to the butler, "Give me a bowl of porridge and a sandwich."

"Okay. What about drinks? We have vegetable juice, milk, coffee..." The butler listed several more options for Chi Yu to choose from.

Chi Yu shook her head: "Not for now."

"Okay." The butler turned and walked towards the kitchen.

Su Chengyan pulled out the chair beside him and smiled as he gestured to Chi Yu, "Yu Yu, sit here."

Chi Yu readily sat down next to Su Chengyan, and Su's father immediately asked her with concern if she had slept well last night.

Chi Yu nodded repeatedly: "It was so comfortable, I slept soundly from last night until this morning."

She paused for a moment, then added, "I was the last one to get up today."

“No, they just got up too early. They’re rushing to work.” Su’s mother immediately chimed in, “Yu Yu, you don’t need to go to work. You don’t need to get up so early anymore. We don’t have that many rules in our family. From now on, you can get up whenever you want. We’ll keep your breakfast warm in the kitchen. It’s okay if you sleep in.”

Chi Yu smiled and agreed, "Okay."

Soon, the cook brought out Chi Yu's breakfast.

The Su family did not have a rule of not talking while eating. The three of them sat at the dining table, eating breakfast and chatting. Su's mother would occasionally join in, but almost all of her words were in defense of Chi Yu.

After breakfast, Su Chengyan and his father were both heading to the company. Before leaving, Su's father asked Chi Yu a question: "After Mu Yang comes back, how about we go back to our hometown together?"

Chi Yu nodded: "Sure."

When Su's father saw that Chi Yu agreed so readily, a smile instantly appeared on his originally stern face, and even his back view as he left the house showed obvious joy.

After the father and son left, Chi Yu had nothing to do, so he sat in front of Su's mother, watching her prune branches and arrange flowers while chatting with her.

Su's mother said with a smile, "Your father tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep. One minute he was worried that you didn't want to go home to pay respects to your ancestors, and the next he was worried that you were too gentle and easily bullied."

"How could that be? I am a member of the Su family, and the blood of the Su family flows in my veins. It is my duty to go back and pay respects to our ancestors and other elders." Although Chi Yu had no family before, she still knew these etiquettes.

As for the last sentence Su's mother said, Chi Yu remained silent, but instead clenched his fist and raised his hand to show Su's mother his biceps: "Mom, you see, I'm not actually that soft."

Chi Yu inherited her mother's small frame; she appears slender but is actually quite fleshy.

She said, "What's the situation at home? Mom, tell me about it."

Since you've decided to integrate into the Su family, you should at least learn about their relatives beforehand.

Upon hearing this question, Su's mother's gaze softened even more as she looked at Chi Yu. "Alright, I'll tell you..."

The two sat in the living room chatting.

This was the first time the mother and daughter had spoken alone. Seeing this, the housekeeper, cook, and others wisely refrained from disturbing them. During her conversation with Su's mother, Chi Yu learned about the Su family's origins and their basic social connections.

Su's mother: "Are you free this afternoon?"

"Hmm?" Chi Yu asked, puzzled.

"I want to take you to visit your maternal grandparents. They've been really looking forward to seeing you ever since they found out you're back," Su's mother said. "If they weren't in poor health, they probably would have come already."

Chi Yu glanced at her life force and hesitated to answer rashly: "Is my grandparents' house far from here?"

"It's not far. They live in the next neighborhood. It only takes half an hour to get there by car."

Under Su's mother's expectant gaze, Chi Yu nodded slightly: "Okay."

Overjoyed, Su's mother immediately stood up: "Then let's go now! I'll go back to my room to change my clothes!"

"Uh-huh."

Chi Yu had changed her clothes before going downstairs. She was wearing a dress she had bought when she went shopping with Su Chengyan last time, and a diamond necklace as a pendant around her neck.

Chi Yu's makeup today was a natural, everyday look. Although the makeup was very light, her good features and fair skin made her look good even with just a few eyebrows and lipstick. In addition, she slept very well last night and was full of energy with bright, dark eyes. Chi Yu looked in the mirror and was quite satisfied with herself, so she didn't go upstairs to change her makeup.

Su's mother quickly changed her clothes and came out of the room.

Wearing a cheongsam and carrying a handbag, she exudes elegance and nobility.

Su's mother instructed the housekeeper to prepare gifts and put them in the back of the carriage.

Upon receiving the message, the driver drove his car out of the garage early and stood at the door waiting.

The black Rolls-Royce slowly drove away after the mother and daughter got into the car.

……

Originally, when she heard Su's mother say "go see your grandparents", Chi Yu thought it was just a simple visit to the two elderly people, so that she could make an impression on them.

However, after she arrived, Chi Yu realized that she had underestimated the importance of visiting the elderly!

In order to spend more time with Chi Yu and to help her integrate into the family more quickly, Su's parents deliberately did not tell their relatives and friends that Chi Yu had returned home.

It wasn't until Chi Yu had just agreed to visit her maternal grandparents that Su's mother sent a message to her brother and sister-in-law.

The Liang family has five generations living under one roof, and the family is thriving. Chi Yuguang has three maternal uncles, and these three maternal uncles also have five paternal uncles. Each of these paternal uncles has two or three children, and each of the three maternal uncles also has two or three children.

Among these children, the youngest was Liang Song, whom Chi Yu had met several times before; he was her cousin.

The original intention of Su's mother in sending the message was simply not to disturb them by suddenly coming to their door, so she sent a message in advance.

However, after receiving the message from Su's mother, Liang's brother and sister-in-law were shocked and overjoyed. They immediately took action and spread the word in the group chat. The message flew to every member of the Liang family's mobile phone as if it had grown wings.

All the members of the Liang family knew that their cousin, whom they hadn't seen for over twenty years, had officially come to visit today!

So when Su's mother and Chi Yu arrived at the Liang family villa, they were greeted with fireworks and firecrackers by the Liang family as soon as they got out of the car.

This was Chi Yu's first time visiting relatives. She saw not only her maternal grandparents, but also her maternal uncle and aunt, as well as her cousins ​​and several other relatives.

The Liang family has many members, but unfortunately it's Monday, and everyone is either at work or school. In addition, Su's mother's visit with Chi Yu was a last-minute decision, not giving the Liang family much time to prepare. As a result, two of the uncles and aunts were busy with other matters and couldn't make it back in time, so they didn't show up.

The Liang family felt very embarrassed, unaware that this was exactly what Su's mother wanted.

With so many people from her maternal family coming, what if they frighten her daughter?

Even so, Chi Yu received an incredibly warm and hospitable welcome from the Liang family.

The mother and daughter stayed at the Liang family's house for dinner, and when they left in the afternoon, Chi Yu's pockets were bulging.

On this day that is neither a New Year nor a holiday, she received the most red envelopes she had ever received.
