Chu Fang drove Grandma Liu to a teahouse and ordered three cups of jasmine tea.

Zhong Tingyue asked, "Are you feeling better?"

"Much better." Old Mrs. Liu's brow relaxed a bit. "Thank you."

"It's nothing. And who are those gentlemen?"

"My children."

Zhong Tingyue didn't ask any more questions, but instead turned to inquire about the various requirements and details of the renovation. Perhaps due to her age, Old Mrs. Liu could only describe the renovation details she wanted using precise language, while Zhong Tingyue described the renovation she wanted in her mind.

This took a lot of time; it took a whole morning, and we weren't even halfway done.

Chu Fang ordered the food, and the three of them sat down to eat. He picked up a piece of lobster with his chopsticks and put it in Zhong Tingyue's bowl, but the latter frowned slightly and said, "I don't like it."

"No picky eating allowed!"

"Mr. Chu, you're so domineering. Be careful, or no girl will ever marry you."

"It's okay, no man will marry you anyway."

"hehe... ..."

A soft laugh interrupted their tug-of-war. Zhong Tingyue realized that Old Mrs. Liu was also at the table and said, "I'm sorry."

"No, I'm very happy." Grandma Liu smiled gently. "You two are a perfect match."

Chu Fang said, "So-so, third in the world."

Grandma Liu looked up at the sky and said, "It's so nice."

Chu Fang complained, "What's so good about it? It's bad. This woman is always going against me. I say one thing and she says another. I tell her to beat the dog, and she curses the chicken."

A glint flashed in Zhong Tingyue's eyes as she stared at Chu Fang.

Grandma Liu laughed even harder, and even coughed. It took her a while to recover: "It's really good. At least you two are still together now, unlike my old man who has left me. I don't even have anyone to talk to."

Chu Fang: "Uh... I'm sorry."

"Oh, there's no need for so much apology." Old Mrs. Liu waved her hand. "Even though that old man has been gone for seven days, I'm not that sad anymore."

At this point, Mrs. Liu seemed to be lost in memories: "Back then, when my husband and I got married, we were poor and had nothing. The house was allocated by our work unit. It was small and not fully furnished, but my husband designed and decorated the house very well with his own hands."

"Later, we were allocated a larger house, which is the house you see today. The old man wanted the house to be decorated in a traditional Chinese style, while I preferred modern decoration. In the end, he agreed with my point of view."

"But I could tell he didn't like this decorating style. I kept thinking about redecorating it sometime, but I kept putting it off... and then that old man passed away."

"How could you leave? Our house isn't even finished being renovated yet, and you're already gone."

Grandma Liu's eyes reddened, but she quickly composed herself: "As you get older, you tend to nag. I'm sorry to trouble you."

Chu Fang and Zhong Tingyue shook their heads.

After the meal, Zhong Tingyue continued to communicate with Grandma Liu to understand her needs and brainstorm the most perfect design solution.

At this moment, Zhong Tingyue felt a heavy responsibility on her shoulders.

The two talked until 4 p.m. before finally understanding what Mrs. Liu wanted. Afterwards, Chu Fang drove Mrs. Liu back to her neighborhood.

"Then I'll trouble you," said Mrs. Liu as she got out of the car.

Zhong Tingyue: "That's not true. I will give you the plan as soon as possible."

Thank you.

Grandma Liu slowly walked into the residential area. One of her daughters was waiting outside. When she saw her, she walked over and said, "Mom."

Grandma Liu said, "You don't want me to design and decorate either? You think it's a waste of money?"

"No, I know that was my father's wish." The woman shook her head.

"This is also my last wish in life."

The daughter helped Grandma Liu inside.

... ...

Watching the mother and daughter disappear, Chu Fang withdrew his gaze and saw Zhong Tingyue in a daze. He waved his hand in front of her and said, "Hey, Ms. Zhong, snap out of it."

Chu Fang asked, "What are you thinking about? It must be some profound philosophy."

Zhong Tingyue replied, "No."

"There definitely is, but you don't want to tell me. You can't fool me."

Chu Fang could sense that Zhong Tingyue had been thinking a lot.

Zhong Tingyue said, "Since you already know, why are you still asking?"

"Hehe..." Chu Fang grinned, his hands behind his head. "Never mind, I'm off work, buddy, going home. Want me to give you a ride home? Probably not, otherwise it would violate your principle of independence."

As Chu Fang was about to leave, Zhong Tingyue suddenly called out to him, "Wait a minute."

"What's wrong?"

Zhong Tingyue opened her arms: "Give me a hug."

Chu Fang held the delicate body in his arms, burying his head in the long, straight black hair, and smelled a faint fragrance.

"Ms. Zhong, you smell so good, I want to sleep with you."

“... ..."

The two parted ways, and Zhong Tingyue took a taxi home. As soon as she returned to her neighborhood, an old lady approached her and said, "Hey, young lady."

Grandma, is something the matter?

Do you have a boyfriend? I can introduce you to one; he's handsome and owns a house.

Before Zhong Tingyue could reply, several elderly men and women nearby said:

"Grandma Li, don't even think about it. Miss Zhong has a fiancé and is already engaged."

"That's right, that's right. Your grandson is no match for Miss Zhong's fiancé. Stop daydreaming."

Old Mrs. Li asked Zhong Tingyue, "Is what they said true?"

Zhong Tingyue nodded with a smile.

Grandma Li sighed, "Why is it so hard to find a pretty young girl these days? Oh well, if his parents aren't worried, why should I, an old lady, be anxious? I don't care anymore."

Zhong Tingyue thought to herself, "Another grandmother worrying about her grandson's marriage."

Seeing Zhong Tingyue leave, several elderly men and women nearby said:

"Don't be disappointed, your eldest grandson and Miss Zhong are not a good match."

“Miss Zhong is a swan in the sky, while your eldest grandson is a parasite on a toad. Do you understand what I mean by that?”

Old Mrs. Li glared at her many friends: "Don't I know? Do you need to tell me? Mind your own business!"

When Zhong Tingyue returned home, she first called Chu Fang to let him know she was safe, and then started making dinner.

After finishing her meal, she stood on the balcony, overlooking the bustling city. Her bright eyes reflected the cityscape as she seemed to be lost in deep thought.

Suddenly, she heard a shout in her ear. Looking in the direction of the sound, she saw that it was Zhen Yingxue from next door waving at her.

"What are you thinking about? I've been calling you for ages."

Zhong Tingyue came to her senses: "Just some simple little things."

"I heard you got Zhou Hao arrested. You're really something."

"It's good that you're not angry with me."

Zhen Yingxue waved her hand: "Hey, I have nothing to do with him anymore. I actually hope he spends a few days in jail."
