The landlord has multiple personalities and wants everyone to pay him.

Ye Shu and Tang Xiaotao went downstairs back to the living room, where Zhi Qiu was still chatting with her grandmother.

Grandma held her hand and was rambling on and on. Zhi Qiu listened attentively the whole time, nodding from time to time, with her gentle smile like a spring breeze on her face. Occasionally, she would respond with "Grandma, don't worry" or "Grandma, as long as you are healthy." The old lady was so coaxed that even her real estate seemed to move a little.

Looking at this scene, Ye Shu sighed inwardly, "Only Sister Zhi Qiu could do this."

If it were any of those three? Ye Shu could easily imagine the scene.

If Xia Qing were sitting here, she could maintain a smile for the first five minutes, but after five minutes her legs would probably start shaking, and her eyes would start darting around. She wouldn't be able to sit still, but she would be too embarrassed to get up and leave, so she could only force herself to stay.

When she really can't hold on any longer, she'll probably have to secretly use her phone to message herself and ask for help to rescue her.

What about Xiao Nuan?

Xiao Nuan can sit still and listen to her grandmother.

The problem is that she will most likely comment after listening. If Grandma is wrong about something, she might correct her expressionlessly, and she might even say something shocking.

As for Xiaoxue...

Ye Shu hesitated for a moment after thinking about this.

In the past, Xiaoxue would never have been able to sit still; she would have followed him wherever he went, clinging to him and refusing to let go.

But things are different now. Ye Shu has seen Xiaoxue's progress over this period of time.

From initially not daring to look at strangers, to later being able to go out with me, and then to being able to hold a wedding ceremony with me in front of so many people.

Besides, Uncle An and Aunt Shen were still in the living room, and Qin Lili was playing on her phone. Xiaoxue was unfamiliar with the two people, one was her grandmother and the other was her father.

In this situation... Xiaoxue might really not be able to run away.

Yes, that's good.

Just as a relieved smile appeared on Ye Shu's face, he immediately realized what was happening.

Wait, no, no!

Ye Shu snapped out of her daze and suppressed the smile on her face.

Ever since Qin Lili called him an old father with a bad attitude, he has been trying to get rid of this habit. He and Xiaoxue are husband and wife, not father and daughter. He must get rid of this feeling of pride that comes from seeing his daughter succeed!

but……

He then thought again, "Xiaoxue has made progress, so we should be proud of her. Why can't we?"

Thinking of this, he made a firm decision: "I'll be proud!!!"

I lie here, chewing my pride!

Tang Xiaotao watched her older brother change his expression like crazy. One moment his lips were up in a big smile as if he'd drunk magpie's fart, the next he had a stern face as if someone owed him money, and then he was all high on his gut.

Tang Xiaotao couldn't help but wonder if her older brother had caused her to become split-minded because he was dating four women at the same time.

The two walked over to the sofa. Shen Jingwan looked up and saw them return. Instead of asking where they had been, she greeted them with a smile.

"Xiao Shu and Xiao Tao, come, sit down, have some fruit, it's freshly washed."

"Thank you, Auntie."

Tang Xiaotao sat on the sofa, picked up a cherry and put it in her mouth:

"Mmm, it's so sweet."

Ye Shu sat down next to Zhi Qiu. Zhi Qiu was chatting with her grandmother while holding her hand. When she heard Ye Shu coming over, she turned around and glanced at him.

"Grandma, it's getting late. Shouldn't you get some rest? Don't you have a flight tomorrow morning?"

I don't know if that's what Sister Zhi Qiu meant, but Ye Shu has launched a rescue operation for Sister Zhi Qiu.

His original intention was to pull Sister Zhi Qiu out of her grandmother's monologue. Sister Zhi Qiu had been smiling for almost half an hour, her cheekbones must be sore from smiling.

Another point is that it is indeed quite late. When the old lady is at home, she goes to bed at seven o'clock in the evening. Now it is almost nine o'clock, which is already at the level of staying up late and damaging her liver for the old lady.

But Grandma wasn't sleepy at all today. She glanced at him with a smile, then ignored him and instead held Zhi Qiu's hand, saying:

"I'm not sleepy yet, I want to talk to my granddaughter-in-law."

She called her "granddaughter-in-law" so clearly, but Ye Shu did see that Zhi Qiu's eyes showed sadness after hearing that, which made Ye Shu feel a little uncomfortable as well.

After Grandma finished speaking, she said to Zhi Qiu:

"Hey, where were we? Oh right..."

Grandma seemed to remember something again, and then she lowered her head and took off the jade bracelet on her wrist.

Because Grandma's wrists were very thin, the bra slipped off easily.

"Here, put this on."

Grandma placed the bracelet in Zhi Qiu's hand, and Zhi Qiu quickly said:

"Grandma, no need..."

"This bracelet was meant to be yours."

Grandma interrupted her directly, looking at her and saying:

"But... this was originally supposed to be given to you by Xiaoshu's mother, but... now Grandma is giving it to you. Put it on, child, and don't take it off once you put it on."

The sofa suddenly fell silent. Grandma looked at Zhi Qiu, Zhi Qiu looked at the bracelet, and Ye Shu watched them from the side. No one spoke.

Ye Shu recognized the bracelet. It had always been on his mother's wrist since he could remember. It was a gift from his grandmother to his daughter-in-law when his parents got married.

But later the bracelet returned to Grandma's hands, and now it's in Sister Zhi Qiu's hands. This can be seen as Grandma's approval of her granddaughter-in-law.

But Sister Zhi Qiu...

Looking at Zhi Qiu's profile, Ye Shu could understand what Zhi Qiu was thinking. After all, her grandmother didn't know about the four of them yet, and in her grandmother's eyes, she was still An Su Xue.

Ye Shu wanted to offer some words of comfort, but before he could speak, Zhi Qiu spoke up.

She didn't refuse anymore, and instead put the jade bracelet on her wrist:

"Okay, thank you, Grandma. I'll wear it and not take it off."

After saying that, she stretched out her wrist in front of her grandmother, her eyes crinkling with a smile:

"Grandma, look, isn't it pretty?"

"Okay, it looks good. This bracelet is meant for you."

Grandma was very happy, but Ye Shu felt a little uncomfortable sitting next to her. However, she didn't know what to say, so she could only lower her head, pick up a cherry from the fruit plate on the coffee table, and put it in her mouth. She would comfort Sister Zhi Qiu later.

"Alright, granddaughter-in-law, help Grandma back to her room. Grandma can't sit still anymore."

As the old lady was about to get up from the sofa, Zhi Qiu quickly supported her arm and helped her up.

Seeing this, Ye Shu quickly went over and reached out to take her grandmother from Zhi Qiu's arms.

As a result, the old lady raised her arm and directly blocked Ye Shu's hand.

"You don't need to, the two of us can go up."

Looking at his grandmother like this, Ye Shu realized that she clearly had something to say and was hiding something from him.

Watching Grandma and Sister Zhi Qiu walk down the road, I felt utterly bewildered.

Zhi Qiu helped her grandmother upstairs, glanced back at him, winked at him, and the two started a private chat:

Little Shu, you stay here and wait patiently.

Ye Shuchong waved her hand, indicating that she should go ahead.
