Late at night, the moonlight, like water, fell into the bedroom.

Zhong Tingyue was working, designing drafts, while Chu Fang was holding a laptop, checking vegetable planting techniques.

"Mr. Chu."

"Um."

"Can't love last forever?"

"I don't know."

Zhong Tingyue raised her head, pursing her lips: "I always thought He Yi and Wu Di would stay together until the end of their lives, but I never expected them to divorce like this."

He paused, then turned back and asked, "Do you think we might be in the same boat?"

Yes, it will.

"Um?"

Chu Fang, his eyes glued to the computer screen, said, "Why think about all that nonsense? Just live in the moment."

“That makes sense, live in the moment.” Zhong Tingyue stood up, stretched, her slender waist like a water snake, her long black hair flowing, exuding a womanly charm.

Then Zhong Tingyue walked to the window and drew the curtains.

Chu Fang immediately became alert: "Why are you drawing the curtains, Zhong Tingyue? Why are you on my bed? Why are you taking off your clothes? Why are you turning off the lights?"

As the lights went out, Chu Fang shivered, feeling a chill run down his spine... ...standing there.

... ...

The next room.

Chu Jin snuggled into her mother's arms and said with a pitiful expression, "Grandma, you don't know how much pain I've been going through these days. Mom often scares me, saying she's going to abandon me. I feel like an unwanted orphan."

Today is Friday, a day off. Chu's mom and dad came to Shanghai for a family reunion.

Upon hearing this, Chu's mother felt very distressed: "My little darling, don't be afraid. Grandma is your support. Bad women can never hurt you."

"Grandma, you're so kind."

"That's right, because you're such a good daughter."

Chu Jin tilted her head and asked, "Grandma, if I weren't Dad's daughter, would you still love me like this?"

"No," Chu's mother replied directly.

Chu Zhi also shook his head.

He's just asking for trouble.

Chu's mother inherited her parents' character; she valued her own children more than her grandchildren, and didn't have the so-called "grandparental affection."

Therefore, in Chu's mother's mind, Chu Fang will always have a higher status than her two children.

Chu Jin pouted, "Grandma, I'm not happy, can't you just lie to me?"

"Lying is wrong." Seeing her granddaughter's pitiful and aggrieved expression, Chu's mother could only say, "Then how can Grandma make it up to you?"

"I like a doll."

"Okay, I'll take you to buy it."

"Yay!" Chu Jin exclaimed excitedly, jumping up and down.

"Checkmate!" Father Chu moved a chess piece and said in a deep voice.

Chu Zhiye then came to his senses and realized that he had made a mistake on the chessboard and had already lost.

Chu Zhiye's face showed a frustrated expression.

"Grandpa, I lost again."

Chu's father patted the back of Chu Zhiye's head: "You're already very capable."

Chu's father has been playing chess for decades and is highly skilled, surpassing countless others. Yet, Chu Zhi, despite his young age, is able to hold his own against his father.

Furthermore, Chu's father did not go easy on him at all.

It must be said that Chu Zhiye's chess skills are quite impressive.

"Again," Chu Zhi said through gritted teeth.

"good."

The grandfather and grandson set up the chessboard and continued playing chess.

... ...

The next day, Chu Fang woke up feeling extremely empty. While eating breakfast, he stood guard with one eye and kept watch with the other.

Zhong Tingyue patted him on the shoulder: "Mr. Chu, take care of your eyes, you're almost turning into a lizard man."

"It's all because of you!" Chu Fang said angrily.

"You're blaming me for this?" Zhong Tingyue shrugged.

"Do you believe I'll take drugs?"

"I'll buy it for you!"

Chu Zhiye sipped her milk and said quietly, "There are children here, so watch your words."

"Who told you to know so much when you're just a kid?" Chu Fang rolled his eyes. "Can't you learn from Chu Jin? You only live longer if you don't know anything."

Chu Zhiye is excellent in every way, but he is too mature. He has read a lot of books and his understanding of the world has reached the level of a junior high school student.

Therefore, I could understand what they were saying.

Chu Fang then asked Chu Jin, "Daughter, what were your mother and I talking about just now?"

Chu Jin's little face peeked out of the bowl, her cheeks still covered in rice grains, and she asked, "Did you guys talk just now? I didn't hear you, hehe..."

Chu Fang, Zhong Tingyue, and Chu Zhiye: "... ..."

Chu Jin is the type of person who loves to eat. Once food is on the table, nothing can disturb her enjoyment of the meal.

After breakfast, Chu's mother kept her promise and took Chu Jin to buy dolls, with Chu Zhi also going along.

Since we're buying gifts, we should treat everyone equally.

The three arrived at a large shopping mall. Chu Jin pointed to a shop window with an exquisite doll inside. It had a porcelain face, a silk dress, and diamond inlays. It was exquisite and luxurious, just like a fairy tale elf.

Upon seeing the amount listed above, Chu's mother gasped in shock; "Hiss... 150,000?"

The sales assistant explained, "This doll was made at great expense and was very expensive. More importantly, it was designed by the master designer Oliver himself. This doll was designed based on his deceased daughter and was made with a lot of effort. It is also Oliver's second child."

Chu Zhi also tilted her head back: "So, can I assume that Oliver put his daughter up for sale? Do you think he likes his daughter or not? Does this behavior violate the crime of child trafficking?"

The sales assistant stopped rambling on abruptly, speechless.

That poor kid.

Chu Jin tugged at her mother's arm: "Grandma, I want this doll."

"Okay, okay." Mother Chu nodded in agreement.

Chu Fang then handed her the bank card so the sales assistant could swipe it to pay.

Chu's mother is a simple and frugal person. Even today, she still plays mahjong for one yuan. However, she is very generous to her two children and always grants their requests.

After paying, Chu Jin hugged the doll with an unstoppable smile on her face. The three of them strolled around the mall. When they got tired, they bought three cups of milk tea and sat on a chair outside the mall, watching people come and go.

"Chu Jin, Chu Zhiye."

Just then, a voice came from behind.

Following the sound, Chu's mother looked behind her and saw a little boy wearing a onesie with a cartoon bear printed on it.

"Shao Xiang, what are you doing here?" Chu Jin asked.

"I came shopping with my mom and dad." Shao Xiang sat down next to Chu Jin with practiced ease.

Chu Jin pushed him away and said, "Stay away from me. Why are you always sitting next to me?"

Shao Xiang opened his clear eyes and said, "Because you are my best friend, I have a lot of fun playing with you."

"Go away, get out of here, you little brat." Chu Jin waved his hand.

Just as Shao Xiang moved closer to Chu Jin, a mature voice came from behind.

"Shao Xiang".

Upon hearing this, Shao Xiang looked dejected, stood up, and headed towards the source of the voice.

Chu Jin looked in the direction of the sound and saw two people behind her, a man and a woman. The woman was Shao Xiang's mother, whom she had met before.

The man was about fifty years old, of medium build, slightly overweight, with an ordinary face and somewhat thinning hair.

Shao Xiang walked to his mother's side, and she patted her son's head.

Chu Jin asked, "Shao Xiang, is this your grandfather?"

Judging from his appearance, the middle-aged man didn't look much different from Chu's father, which was naturally Chu Jin's opinion.

Upon hearing this, Shao Xiang's mother paused, glancing at the middle-aged man with some fear.

The middle-aged man frowned, his brows furrowing into a deep frown. He looked somewhat displeased and said softly, "I am Shao Xiang's father."

"Hello, old man..."

Before he could finish speaking, Chu Zhi quickly covered Chu Jin's mouth and said with a smile, "Chu Jin meant, you're such a handsome old man..."

Shao Xiang's father stared silently at the two children, his pupils seeming to hold abysses, making the two children feel uneasy. Chu's mother stood between the two children, blocking their view, her hands on her hips, staring straight at the other.

"We have other things to do, so we'll be leaving now," Shao Xiang's father said, turning his gaze away.

Then the three of them left, and even after they left, the cheers of Chu's mother and the other two could still be heard.

"Yes, we won."
