Chen Yan toyed with his teacup. “Alright, when your second brother comes back later, go and talk to him and ask him to send more things to Young Master Xiao and ask him to send someone to take care of Shi’an.”

"yes."

Madam Yu looked at Jiang Wei with great affection, but she was still worried about her marrying into another family, as her eldest son was outstanding in every way.

If Wei'er agrees when An'er returns, it would be nice to have her as my daughter-in-law.

“Wei’er, your older cousin will be coming to the capital soon. Aren’t you happy?” Madam Yu observed Jiang Wei’s expression.

Jiang Wei nodded sweetly to Madam Yu, "Yes, my third uncle, cousin, and eldest cousin are all coming. Our family can have a happy reunion this year."

Jiang Wei walked over and pulled Chen Yan, "Grandpa, are you happy?"

Ms. Yu: "..."

Is this a deception or just a miscalculation?

"Who's coming back?" Chen Shiyu swaggered in, still holding his folding fan as always.

He saw Jiang Wei and asked, "Why are you here?" He looked around but didn't see Ming Zhao.

"Where's your cousin? Why are you all alone?" Chen Shiyu asked, as if to say, "What are you doing here alone?"

Madam Yu stepped forward and glared at him, "How dare you talk like that? Can't Wei'er come alone?"

Madam Yu pinched his arm in exasperation. She had originally thought that Chen Shiyu and Jiang Wei had spent a lot of time together since they were young, and if they were interested in each other, it would be nice for them to become a couple.

This clueless person, all they do is argue and cause trouble all day long.

"Why are you pinching me again, Mother?" Chen Shiyu said irritably.

Yu replied matter-of-factly, "I didn't use any force."

Chen Shiyu didn't want to pay attention to her. If she twisted, she twisted; how could she say she didn't use force?

"Who wants to come back?" he asked Jiang Wei with his big eyes wide open.

Jiang Wei smiled at him, a hint of schadenfreude in her expression, "Big Cousin."

Chen Shiyu's face immediately fell; another living father had arrived...

As long as his biological father doesn't upset his mother, everything is fine; but his adoptive father wants to control everything.

If they wake up late, I have to manage them; if they go to bed late, I have to manage them; I have to manage their meals; I have to manage everything...

"Help! Someone please save him!"

Chen Shiyu's expression changed several times. "When will you arrive?"

Jiang Wei spread her hands and shook her head, "I don't know. My uncle said we'll be leaving in the next couple of days, so it should be soon."

She seemed to have a playful, spectator-like quality to her.

Chen Shiyu waved his folding fan and fanned himself several times. "I need to go out and calm my nerves. I won't be back for dinner."

He needed to enjoy some good days before his older brother returned, so that he could ease the pain of the hardships to come.

Jiang Wei couldn't help but laugh and said, "How could Second Cousin be afraid of Eldest Cousin?"

Chen Shiyu leaned back and said, "You talk as if you're not afraid."

In front of everyone, Madam Yu grabbed Chen Shiyu with one hand and patted his back with the other, saying, "What are you saying, child?"

Actually, Madam Yu didn't use any force; she just wanted to interrupt Chen Shiyu's nonsense. She had finally felt that Jiang Wei and Shi'an were getting along well, but this ignorant child nipped it in the bud.

陈世玉觉得他娘就是不疼他，总是莫明奇妙的揍他。

Jiang Wei was also afraid. When she was little, she was playful, and her older cousin would always nag her.

She thought back, "Cousin, you're a young lady, how could you climb a tree? A proper young lady should be gentle, quiet, beautiful, dignified, and poised. Look at you, besides being beautiful, what do you possess? And that beauty was given to you by your aunt. Ouch..."

She was scared!

Seeing the change in Jiang Wei's expression, Madam Yu cursed Chen Shiyu in her heart again.

Jiang Wei bid farewell to her maternal grandfather and was about to return to the Jiang residence, but Chen Yan and the others insisted that she stay for a meal before leaving.

She said her younger brother was still waiting for her at home, and she had to go back to have a meal with him. She would bring him over another day and they could come over for a free meal together.

Chen Yan told her that the Chen family would never let her and her brother go hungry, and that she shouldn't try to be a hero, as they would take care of everything.

Every time Chen Yan saw Jiang Wei, he couldn't help but give her some instructions.

Jiang Wei always tried her best to reassure her grandfather, and repeatedly answered yes.

Jiang Wei walked to the Chen family's gate and saw Xiao Zhan walking towards her from afar.

"Are you going back?" Xiao Zhan asked, carrying a food box as he walked up to Jiang Wei.

Jiang Wei didn't understand why Xiao Zhan, who had already left, would reappear in front of the Chen family's door.

Jiang Wei caught a snowflake falling from the sky with her hand. "Hmm, General Xiao, do you still have something to discuss with my maternal grandfather and uncle?"

Xiao Zhan looked at the person in front of him, with snowflakes falling on her head. She was dressed in a moon-white robe with a cloak over it, and her slender hands caught the snowflakes falling from the sky. She looked like a beautiful woman in a snowy landscape.

She didn't seem to be distant from him at all. Xiao Zhan's lips curved into a smile, and his eyes sparkled with a glimmer of light, adding a touch of brightness to the gray sky.

Xiao Zhan held up the food box in front of Jiang Wei, saying, "This is a thank-you gift I prepared for you."

Jiang Wei looked into Xiao Zhan's eyes, seemingly not understanding why he wanted to give her something.

"Give it to me? Why?" Jiang Wei brushed a strand of hair that had blown onto her face.

This flirtation touched Xiao Zhan's heart.

The girl's clear eyes, delicate face, and graceful posture were beautiful in themselves.

With such a lively expression, it's impossible to look away.

Besides, it was him, the one whose heart and soul were completely devoted to her.

Xiao Zhan went a step further, lowering his head, "Yes, thank you for making me feel like an oddball in this bustling capital city."

He smiled, a smile as bright as the rising sun that was both captivating and mesmerizing. "Yes, I've been praised for two days in a row, all thanks to you."
