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

Chapter 407 Talking to Shen Yanzhi
Su's mother recounted the events that had just occurred without bias or prejudice.

However, Su's mother briefly omitted the fact that Su Huan had deliberately tried to win favor, and simply said, "After your grandmother put the bracelet on Yu Yu's hand, Su Huan seemed a little jealous. She asked your grandmother for the bracelet several times before, but your grandmother didn't give it to her."

Upon hearing this, Su Muyang had a look of relief on his face: "So the situation was that dangerous back then. Luckily, Yu Yu noticed that something was wrong with Grandma. Otherwise, if Grandma had really fallen, the consequences would have been unimaginable. Grandma must have realized this at the time, which is why she gave the bracelet away."

“Grandma’s bracelet was part of her dowry. I heard it’s meant to be passed down to daughters, not sons. Su Huan was spoiled rotten. Before Yu Yu was found, she was the only granddaughter in the family. I’m afraid she’s already considered this bracelet her private property,” Su Chengyan said calmly.

"So what?" Su Muyang said dismissively. "No matter how much she likes it, it's useless. Grandma has already given the bracelet to Yu Yu. From now on, this bracelet belongs to Yu Yu."

Su Chengyan agreed with this, and said to Chi Yu, "Yu Yu, since it was given to you by Grandma, just keep it. Wear it if you want, and just leave it as is if you don't. Don't worry about other people's feelings."

“That’s right, that makes sense!” Mother Su nodded.

When the old lady gave the bracelet to Chi Yu, she deliberately glanced around and noticed that everyone had different expressions, but they all composed themselves in a short while.

Only Su Huan couldn't hold back.

Su's mother used to like her niece Su Huan very much, but after Su Huan deliberately jumped out in front of the elevator to compete for her favor, she suddenly didn't like her niece as much anymore.

Chi Yu nodded: "Mm."

She lowered her head and touched the bracelet on her wrist. The bracelet was mainly bright green, with a vivid and even color, like a pool of spring water encircling her wrist. The light flowed around it, like an ink painting. The texture was as delicate as fat, warm to the touch, and as lustrous as dew.

Even if she didn't know anything about jade, Chi Yu could tell that this bracelet was no ordinary item.

She shook her wrist: "It looks good, I'll wear it for now."

Su's mother, sitting beside Chi Yu, also witnessed this scene.

"It really is beautiful. No wonder they all want this bracelet." Seeing the beautiful bracelet, Su's mother's gloom suddenly dissipated.

Regardless of how others feel, Chi Yu got a rare item for free, so she should be happy!
Su Chengyan drove directly back to his villa in Shuoxi.

The last time Mr. and Mrs. Su returned to Shuoxi was during the Qingming Festival, almost half a year ago. The villa should have been a bit dusty, but Mr. Su called his uncle a week in advance before returning, asking him to help find a housekeeping team to come to their home.

Therefore, the Su family villa was thoroughly cleaned inside and out by the housekeeping team, and even the beds in each bedroom were washed and cleaned.

Su's mother was a little tired, so she beckoned to Chi Yu: "Yu Yu, come on, let's go upstairs for a nap, and I'll show you around your room while we're at it."

Like her residence in Beijing, this villa in her hometown has always had rooms reserved for Chi Yu.

“Okay.” Chi Yu replied and followed in Su’s mother’s footsteps.

The Su family villa is magnificent and grand, with a European-style decoration that is exquisite and bright.

Su's mother first showed Chi Yu the rooms she shared with her brother Su Chengyan, and then took Chi Yu to her own room.

“This room has been reserved for you since the house was built.” Su’s mother opened the door: “Aside from cleaning it from time to time, we never let anyone into this room casually.”

The 30-square-meter room has a simple and elegant overall style, with light gray and beige as the main colors. The bay window is half open, and light shines in from outside.

“I didn’t know what style you liked at the time, so I chose a minimalist style.” Su’s mother entered the room and opened the window a little to let the air circulate: “Now that you’re finally back, you can redecorate the room according to whatever style you like.”

“Mom, this is perfect, I really like it,” Chi Yu said.

Hearing Chi Yu's words, Su's mother was not surprised at all, and even felt that it was somewhat expected.

After spending more than a month together, she had a general idea of ​​Chi Yu's personality: she was insightful and easygoing, and never picky about food, clothing, or shelter.

However, despite her relief, Su's mother felt more heartache for Chi Yu.

"You should rest well and take a nap. We'll go for a walk around the neighborhood later," Su's mother said gently.

Chi Yu nodded: "Okay."

Su's mother left the room.

From the moment I got up this morning until now, I first rushed to catch a plane, and then had social engagements. It's been a long time since I've been so busy. I don't show it in front of others, but when I relax in private, I'm really quite tired.

With her coat off, Chi Yu threw herself onto the soft bed. The bedding beneath her was as soft as a cloud, and it exuded a faint fragrance of laundry detergent mixed with sunshine. Chi Yu couldn't help but take a breath. She kicked off her shoes by rubbing her feet together, then rolled her legs up in the blanket, turned over, and crawled into the bedding like a cocoon.

She reached out a hand, touched her phone from beside the bed, and opened her chat with Shen Yanzhi to type a message.

Chi Yu: [Cat crying.jpg] Finally, I can lie down.

Almost immediately after she sent the message, the message "[typing...]" appeared above the three characters "Shen Yanzhi".

A moment later, Shen Yanzhi's message reply popped up on the phone screen.

Shen Yanzhi: Why are you crying? Were you bullied?
Shen Yanzhi: Are the relatives on the Su family's side treating you badly?
Since they started dating, they have been in frequent private contact.

Even when Shen Yanzhi was away on business trips abroad, the two still chatted frequently on WeChat and would call each other when they had free time. Therefore, even though they were temporarily separated, they were well aware of each other's schedules.

Shen Yanzhi knew that Chi Yu was going back to his hometown with Su's father and others today, that Su's father had booked eighty tables for a banquet at the hotel, and that Chi Yu was going back to his hometown to recognize his ancestors.

Seeing the wailing, cute cat emoji on his phone screen, Shen Yanzhi assumed Chi Yu was crying.

Chi Yu quickly replied: No, no, I wasn't bullied.
Chi Yu typed rapidly: It was our first meeting, everyone was nice, and I received so many red envelopes!
She wanted to take a picture to show Shen Yanzhi, but then suddenly realized that the red envelope was kept by Su Chengyan and she had forgotten to take it back.

Su Chengyan may have been too busy to remember.

Chi Yu happily said to Shen Yanzhi: "Let's count the red envelopes together tonight."

As soon as the message was sent, a voice call notification from Shen Yanzhi popped up on the screen.

Chi Yu tapped his fingertip, and the call was connected.

The next second, Shen Yanzhi's gentle, clear, and slightly distorted voice came from the phone: "Hello? Yu Yu?"

"Huh? What's wrong?" Chi Yu responded.

Shen Yanzhi asked, "Where are you now?"

When Chi Yu answered the call, she casually switched to speakerphone, then placed the phone beside her and replied, "At home, just got back from dinner. Lying in bed. What about you?"

She lay on the bed, looking somewhat languid, her voice sounding lazy and melodious with a touch of softness.

Shen Yanzhi listened attentively with his head down. After Chi Yu finished speaking, he said, "I just arrived at the hotel. Today, through a friend's introduction, I met two professors from Chillory University. I attended two lectures at the university this afternoon, and had dinner with them tonight." Shen Yanzhi's trip abroad was ostensibly a business trip, but it was more like a preliminary survey of the progress and market demand in the field of AI intelligence overseas, and also to see if he could recruit suitable researchers.

It's like he went to investigate the market in advance.

Chi Yu knew the purpose of Shen Yanzhi's trip and was somewhat curious: "How was the lecture? What did they talk about?"

"It feels alright." Shen Yanzhi thought for a moment and picked out some important and interesting things to tell Chi Yu.

In this respect, Chi Yu can be considered a semi-expert.

Although she hasn't formally engaged with it yet, the relevant knowledge is already deeply ingrained in her mind.

Shen Yanzhi gave a brief mention, and Chi Yu instantly understood what he meant.

The two chatted about this in detail for a while, and then Shen Yanzhi asked Chi Yu, "How did you feel after returning to your hometown today?"

"It's alright. These relatives are more welcoming than I expected."

“My dad has two brothers and one sister. The tourism industry is very developed here, so everyone chooses to develop their careers locally, and their families are all quite well-off.”

“My grandfather passed away, leaving only my grandmother. She is over eighty years old, but she is still in good health.”

Speaking of this, Chi Yu touched the coolness on her wrist, "By the way, I also received an antique bracelet today."

Shen Yanzhi: "Hmm?"

Chi Yu recounted what had happened that day: "After lunch at the hotel, when we were about to leave, I noticed that Grandma's complexion seemed a bit off. I helped her up when she was about to fall. Then, perhaps to thank me, Grandma put the jade bracelet she was wearing on my wrist directly onto my wrist."

“She has worn this bracelet for many years. My mother said it was my grandmother’s dowry when she was young, and it is also a family heirloom that is only passed down to daughters, not sons.”

Shen Yanzhi: "Is Grandma injured?"

"No. She forgot to take her medicine. After I spoke up and the other relatives helped her up, my aunt took out the medicine bottle from her and gave her the medicine. Then she was fine. She said it was an old ailment and she had to keep taking medicine." Chi Yu was completely unaware that Shen Yanzhi, in his serious questioning, had already blatantly followed her in calling Grandma Su "Grandma."

Hearing that Grandma Su was alright, Shen Yanzhi stopped asking questions and returned the topic to Chi Yu's bracelet: "Is the bracelet pretty?"

“It’s beautiful.” Chi Yu reached her hand back under the covers and touched the bracelet. Then she heard Shen Yanzhi say, “Yu Yu, I want to see an antique bracelet.”

"Sure, I'll take a picture and show it to you." Chi Yu readily picked up her phone, but after operating it for a while, she realized that the camera couldn't be opened while the phone was on a call.

Upon hearing this, Shen Yanzhi calmly hummed in agreement, "It's alright, I'll hang up first and then make a video call."

He was unsure if Chi Yufang was available to answer the video call, so he made the call.

Before Chi Yu could react to Shen Yanzhi's words, the call on her phone screen suddenly ended, and the next second, Shen Yanzhi's video call request popped up.

Chi Yu tucked herself in, picked up her phone, and answered the video call.

Shen Yanzhi's handsome face instantly appeared on the screen. He was sitting on the sofa in loose pajamas, facing the phone screen. The moment he saw Chi Yu on the screen, a smile instantly appeared in his originally indifferent light-colored eyes as he stared intently at Chi Yu on the phone.

In the small box at the top left of the screen, Chi Yu also saw herself lying in bed, clearly preparing to sleep.

Chi Yu smiled and switched the camera, raising her head to point the camera at her bracelet, sharing with Shen Yanzhi: "Look, this is it."

The smiling face on the phone screen changed into a slender wrist and the crystal-clear jade bracelet on it.

Even through a screen, you can tell it's of superior quality.

Because Ms. Jiang loved jadeite, Shen Yanzhi also gained some knowledge about it through his exposure to it.

Although he couldn't tell which dynasty the bracelet belonged to just by looking at it, he could tell the type of jadeite it was: "It looks like imperial green jadeite of the glass type."

"Imperial Green?" Chi Yu's eyes widened.

Even someone like her, who knows nothing about jade, knows how precious imperial green is.

Chi Yu turned over, lay face down on the pillow, and took off the bracelet from her hand.

She looked down intently at it: "Imperial Green?"

She had only heard of it before; this was the first time she had seen it with her own eyes.

Shen Yanzhi and Chi Yu examined the bracelet together through the phone screen: "It should be the right one."

The imperial green bracelet held little appeal for Shen Yanzhi. His gaze fell upon Chi Yu's fair and slender hand, and he said calmly, "Yu Yu, I want to see you again."

Shen Yanzhi's tone when he said this was no different from usual.

Moreover, this isn't exactly a sweet nothing.

But when Chi Yu heard these words, her heart skipped a beat for no apparent reason.

She tapped her finger, and the camera switched.

The two looked at each other across the screen.

Looking at Chi Yu lying in bed, Shen Yanzhi's calm expression couldn't help but bring back memories of when she was still a smartphone addict, and the times they shared a bed.

Chi Yu felt inexplicably awkward and tried to find a topic of conversation: "What time is it where you are now?"

There's a time difference between domestic and international times, so Shen Yanzhi said, "Ten o'clock tonight."

Chi Yu asked in surprise, "It's ten o'clock and you're still not asleep?"

She shouldn't have brought it up. As soon as she did, Shen Yanzhi first pursed his lips and stared at her with a resentful look in his eyes before speaking softly, "I'm waiting for you."

If he sleeps, when he wakes up the next day, it will be almost midnight in China, which is when Chi Yu will go to sleep.

It's even possible that by the time he wakes up, Chi Yu will already be asleep.

He and Chi Yu hadn't been in contact for six whole hours. As Shen Yanzhi sat on the sofa, he checked the time every now and then.

He knew that Chi Yu would be very busy at noon today, so he refrained from sending her a message.

Even if Chi Yu hadn't sent a message to Shen Yanzhi just now, Shen Yanzhi was planning to contact Chi Yu later anyway.
