Shen Qingli came out of the bathroom, the steam was still filling the air, just like her complicated mood at the moment.

She changed into a simple and comfortable set of clothes. The texture of the clothes fit her skin well, but it could not smooth out the wrinkles in her heart.

She stood in front of the fitting mirror, her face in the mirror was as pale as paper. If she went to see her grandfather like this, he would definitely ask her what happened.

In order to prevent her family from noticing her abnormality, she picked up her makeup tools and put on light makeup, trying to cover up the pain and unspeakable bitterness in her eyes.

After everything was ready, Shen Qingli went out on time.

It takes about 4 minutes to drive from her home to the Zhou family's old house.

On the other hand, Su Xinyao has been staying in Zhou Yanchen's office since leaving the hospital.

When she learned that Zhou Yanchen was going back to the Zhou family's old house for dinner tonight, a gleam of calculation flashed in her eyes, and she said to Zhou Yanchen:

"Brother Chen, I haven't seen grandpa for a long time. I haven't visited the old man since I came back. I'll go with you today."

Zhou Yanchen thought it didn't matter. After all, in his memory, Su Xinyao used to visit his grandfather often.

The two of them were childhood sweethearts, having grown up together, so this kind of companionship seemed to be the most normal thing.

However, Su Xinyao had a different idea in mind.

She was delighted to have a good look around the old house this time. In her subconscious, she had already regarded herself as the future mistress of the Xiaozhou family.

It seemed as if the old house was the territory she was about to own, carrying her ambitions for the future.

After Zhou Yanchen signed the last document, he stood up, reached out to take the suit jacket on the back of the chair, and said calmly: "Yaoyao, let's go."

Su Xinyao heard the voice and immediately responded happily: "Oh, okay, Brother Chen."

Then, she followed 깊껗 with a smile on her face and light steps.

Zhou Yanchen opened the office door and happened to meet Chang You who was about to come in.

Before Chang You could speak, Zhou Yanchen spoke first: "Chang You, you don't have to drive today, just drive back to the old house by yourself."

Chang You nodded slightly, "Okay, boss."

I watched the two of them leave, sighed helplessly, and roared silently in my heart:

Boss, when did you realize that you don't like Miss Su at all and that the person you really care about is not her.

However, I could only bury these words deep in my heart, unable to speak.

In the car, Su Xinyao sat in the co-pilot's seat and said, "Brother Chen, I wonder if Grandpa will like the gift I bought."

Zhou Yanchen's face didn't show much emotion, he just replied casually: "Grandpa will like whatever you buy."

놛's eyes were fixed on the road ahead, but he didn't know that this seemingly ordinary journey home would soon become turbulent because of the different thoughts of several people.

Zhou Yanchen parked the car steadily in the familiar spot in the spacious courtyard of the old house. After the car stopped, he and Su Xinyao got out of the car together, and then walked to the trunk tacitly to take out the gifts they brought.

When Zhou Yanchen closed the trunk neatly, a slight engine sound was heard and another car slowly drove into the hospital.

The moment Shen Qingli drove in, his eyes were attracted by Zhou Yanchen and Su Xinyao standing side by side.

At this time, there were only a few parking spaces left in the yard, and there was only some space next to Zhou Yanchen's car. Shen Qingli had no choice but to drive towards them and then slowly stopped.

From the moment Shen Qingli's car appeared in the yard, Zhou Yanchen's eyes seemed to be attracted by a magnet, following her closely, with complex emotions flashing in his eyes.

Why is this woman here?

Did you know that you were coming here, so...

Su Xinyao, who was standing nearby, saw it all, and a fire of jealousy suddenly surged in her heart. The fire burned fiercely in her chest, and she bit her lip and clenched her fists secretly.

However, she quickly adjusted her expression and deliberately said in an extremely gentle and sweet voice: "Brother Chen, let's go in. Grandpa must be waiting anxiously."

She tried to draw Zhou Yanchen's attention back in this way, but Zhou Yanchen seemed to have heard nothing and still stood there, his eyes fixed on Shen Qingli's car.

After Shen Qingli parked the car, she calmly got out of the car with her things. She acted as if she didn't see Zhou Yanchen and Su Xinyao. She walked straight to the trunk to get the things she brought without looking around.

At this time, the housekeeper Lin Shuwen walked out of the old house. When he saw Shen Qingli, his weather-beaten face immediately broke into a warm smile, and he walked quickly towards her:

"Young Madam, please come over here. Let me help you carry your things."

Shen Qingli smiled and replied: "Thank you, Uncle Lin, you can do it yourself."

When Zhou Yanchen saw Shen Qingli ignoring him like this, the nameless fire in his heart suddenly bubbled up, as if a force was constantly expanding in his chest.

He frowned slightly and deliberately raised his voice and said, "Yaoyao, let's go in."

The sound echoed in the quiet courtyard, with a hint of arrogance.

Hearing the voice, Lin Shuwen noticed Zhou Yanchen's presence and quickly greeted him respectfully: "Young Master, you are back. Come in quickly. The old master has been waiting for you."

However, when his gaze moved to Su Xinyao who was standing next to Zhou Yanchen, his expression instantly darkened, and a barely perceptible trace of disgust flashed in his eyes.

Having been in the Zhou family for many years, he is well aware of the complicated emotional entanglements. He has heard a little about Su Xinyao's thoughts and character, so naturally he doesn't like her.

Su Xinyao noticed Manager Lin's enthusiasm for Shen Qingli and his indifference towards herself, and the anger in her heart burned even more fiercely. She felt like she had been slapped hard in the face.

She was secretly planning in her heart that after she and Zhou Yanchen got married, she would find an excuse to drive this ungrateful old man out of the Zhou family.

Zhou Yanchen deliberately quickened his pace and went in before Shen Qingli.

However, when Shen Qingli saw the two people walking side by side in front of her, she really wanted to turn around and leave.

Lin Shuwen seemed to see the problem between them, and comforted her, "Madam, the master only called you and the young master back, and Miss Su just happened to meet you."

Shen Qingli forced a smile on his face, "Uncle Lin, you don't have to explain to me, it's okay."

She and Zhou Yanchen are both divorced, so it doesn't matter to her who she brings.

Mr. Zhou was sitting on the spacious and soft sofa, his cloudy eyes staring at the door.

When Zhou Yanchen and Su Xinyao walked in slowly, their faces, which originally looked a little haggard, were now shrouded in dark clouds. Their complexions became even uglier, and the wrinkles seemed to have deepened.

As soon as Su Xinyao entered the room, the clear and pleasant voice rang out immediately. She smiled brightly and shouted, "Grandpa, we are back. I haven't come to see you for a long time. How have you been recently?"

After hearing these words, Mr. Zhou felt an inexplicable emotion in his heart. He narrowed his eyes slightly, and an imperceptible fluctuation flashed in his eyes. Then he looked at Zhou Yanchen coldly, and his eyes seemed to contain endless disappointment and dissatisfaction.

Then, he spoke slowly and expressionlessly: "Well, Miss Su is a big star. What's there for an old man to miss?"
