Arrested for impersonating a powerful figure's girlfriend, but forced into a formal relationshi

As Yunmiao watched, she felt her eyes getting hot.

She remembered what it looked like when she first saw the kasaya.

It was so thin it was skin and bones, and several patches of fur had fallen off its body, revealing reddish skin underneath, in patches that looked like it had been gnawed by something.

Yunmiao watched from afar, her heart clenching with worry.

But she didn't dare go over.

She was bitten by Granny Hua's dog when she was a child, so she has always been afraid of dogs.

But it was just too well-behaved.

It squatted by the roadside, and when it saw people, it didn't hide, but just tilted its head to look at them.

Yunmiao wanted to walk around it and leave, but she couldn't move her feet.

So she started contacting the shelter.

I called several shelters, but they were either full or no one answered, so I had to give up in the end.

She squatted down on the spot and silently stared at it for a long time.

Then, little by little, carefully approach it.

As she got closer, she quickly took off her coat, wrapped it inside, held it with both hands, and took it to the nearest veterinary hospital.

That position wasn't comfortable, but it didn't make a sound the whole time.

Fortunately, the vet said it was just malnutrition and some skin inflammation, and that with careful care, it would get better.

As it gradually recovered, Yunmiao returned it to the place where they first met.

But every day after school, it would wait there, then follow her back to Yanshu Apartment and escort her downstairs.

Later, she named it Kasaya.

With a name, it's no longer an unwanted dog.

However, far too many stray animals will never have a name of their own.

Therefore, this act of kindness is truly rare.

Yunmiao felt a mix of sadness and warmth in her heart, as if she had been surrounded by kindness lately.

The kindness of these people is exactly what she wanted.

After waiting for a long time without hearing from Xia Xixi, Yun Miao gave her a phone call.

As a result, I was rejected.

Just then, Uncle Zhang called her to dinner.

With no other option, Yunmiao went to eat first.

I had just finished eating when Xia Xixi called.

"Let's go out for dinner."

Yunmiao looked down at her round belly.

"……good."

"Have you already eaten?"

"It's still edible."

"That's great, I'll send you the location."

After receiving the location sent by Xia Xixi, Yun Miao changed her clothes and went out.

Upon arriving at the restaurant entrance, after walking a few steps inside, two middle-aged women approached.

She was impeccably dressed, possessed a gentle and graceful demeanor, and walked with a measured and unhurried pace.

As she got closer, Yunmiao realized that she actually knew one of them.

Shen Yiqing.

My mother's favorite pianist.

She was also the "Aunt Qing" mentioned by Sheng Yinian.

Shen Yiqing looked over and clearly recognized her as well.

Yunmiao stopped and greeted her with a smile, "Hello, Aunt Qing."

"Yunmiao." Aunt Qing's voice couldn't hide her surprise and joy. "What a coincidence, you're having dinner here with Yu Nian?"

"No, it was with friends."

Shen Yiqing smiled and nodded, about to introduce the person next to her, when that person stepped forward on their own.

"Hello, Yunmiao, I am Yu Nian's mother."

Zhuo Qingyu smiled slightly, her eyes revealing a gentle warmth.

Sheng Yinian's... mother?

The meeting came so suddenly that Yunmiao was completely unprepared.

After a moment of hesitation, she quickly and politely greeted, "Hello, Auntie."

Zhuo Qingyu looked at her silently, without being overly enthusiastic or scrutinizing her, only gently curving her lips.

"If you're free this weekend, how about coming over for dinner?"

Yunmiao nodded instinctively.

"it is good."

"See you this weekend."

See you this weekend, Auntie.

Zhuo Qingyu naturally withdrew her gaze and said nothing more.

Shen Yiqing smiled and waved to Yunmiao, and the two walked towards the door together.

Yun Miao's heart was still beating a little fast, and she stayed where she was for a while before leaving.

As soon as Zhuo Qingyu stepped out of the restaurant, she couldn't suppress the smile on her face.

His tone was completely different from before.

"Did you see that? Did you see that?"

"I saw it, I saw it," Shen Yiqing said with a smile.

Zhuo Qingyu's voice was filled with barely concealed excitement.

"The photos were beautiful enough, but I didn't expect her to be even more beautiful in person. How can there be such a cute girl? She's totally my type."

"It's because it aligns with your son's aesthetic preferences," Shen Yiqing corrected.

"That's also my aesthetic point, and my son's aesthetic sense comes from me."

"Fine, fine, whatever you want!"

Zhuo Qingyu was satisfied and began to savor the brief meeting that had just lasted only a few dozen seconds.

"My daughter Yunmiao has such a good personality. Look how well-behaved she was when she greeted me just now."

"So soon it's your little Yunmiao?"

"That's fast? Okay, I'm not going to chat with you anymore. She's coming to my house this weekend, and I have to hurry back. There are so many things to prepare."

"Don't scare people this weekend if you act like this."

"No, I know what I'm doing."

Shen Yiqing watched her leave with amusement.

However, I am also genuinely happy for her.

When Yunmiao found Xia Xixi, the food had already been ordered.

Xia Xixi shoveled rice into her mouth while telling her about what happened that night.

When Yunmiao heard the last part, she almost dropped her chopsticks on the table.

"And then what happened?"

"Later, I beat him into submission," Xia Xixi said smugly. "He promised to take responsibility for me this summer."

On Saturday, before dawn, the servants at the Sheng family's old mansion were already busy.

Inside and outside the courtyard, the yard was swept and cleaned.

Everyone, from top to bottom, was busy with something that seemed to be done with great seriousness.

The main hall of the old house is called "Jiamutang", which means "there are fine trees in the south". It is where the Sheng family received distinguished guests.

The lintel is not high, but it is ancient and dignified.

Pushing open the door, you see a floor paved with blue bricks, and not much furniture, with armchairs arranged on either side.

At 10 a.m., the last group of servants who were finishing up left, and the Jia Mu Tang became quiet.

Old Master Sheng and Zhuo Qingyu were already seated in their armchairs.

Zhuo Qingyu was worried that Yun Miao would feel uncomfortable on her first visit to the family, so she didn't inform the family members first, thinking she would wait until they were more familiar with each other.

The old man was dressed in a dark gray Zhongshan suit, his hair was neatly combed, and his back was ramrod straight, as if he were going to attend a state banquet.

Zhuo Qingyu wore a navy blue cheongsam with a jade brooch at the collar, looking dignified and gentle.

The two did not speak, their gazes occasionally drifting outwards.

A figure flashed by at the doorway.

The two men were delighted and stood up.

I'd already halfway up my butt when I realized it wasn't the person I was waiting for.

The two looked away and sat back down.

As soon as Sheng Shichen entered the door, he saw his great-grandfather and fifth aunt sitting there properly, and he immediately felt a surge of warmth in his heart.

This was his first visit to the old house since returning from the Northwest.

I never expected to be treated like this.

So everyone misses him a lot.

He should have come earlier.

"Great-grandfather, fifth grandmother."

Sheng Shichen walked briskly forward to greet him.

The two of them took a moment to nod at him, then their gazes both drifted toward the doorway.

Sheng Shichen sat down happily in the chair next to him.

He waited for his great-grandfather to ask him about things in the Northwest, for his fifth aunt to say he had "lost weight," for the servants to bring him tea, and for him to be shown concern and care.

He waited for a long time, but no one paid any attention to him.

He couldn't sit still any longer.

He walked up to Zhuo Qingyu and took the initiative to start a conversation.

"Fifth Grandmother, I'm here now, why are you still looking out?"

Zhuo Qingyu looked at him and was stunned for a moment.

"Oh, when did Shi Chen arrive?"

Sheng Shichen: "???"

Undeterred, he walked up to Old Master Sheng again.

"Great-grandfather, weren't you waiting for me?"

The old man was staring intently at the door when he was startled by the sudden sound.

"You... what are you doing here?"

Sheng Shichen: "!!!"

He's superfluous!
