Chen Lizhen watched as Ru Bao held a spare rib and chuckled to herself. She looked both shy and happy, just like the couple in love.

Chen Lizhen leaned closer and whispered, "Ru Bao, have you met a boy you like?"

Hearing Aunt Zhen's voice, Xu Rubao snapped out of her daze, startled, and quickly shook her head, "No...no, it's not like that."

Chen Lizhen, having been through similar experiences, couldn't help but smile when she saw that Chen's face was flushed.

"Ru Bao, at this age, it's perfectly normal to be in a relationship. However, it also depends on the person and their character. I don't think the amount of money they have is the most important thing."

She had said these things to Ziqing as well, but that girl was so obsessed with money that she wouldn't listen to a word she said.

Xu Rubao nodded. "Aunt Zhen, I understand. Right now, I just want to study hard and take care of Grandpa in the future. I haven't thought about anything else."

That's true, with such a big red mark on her face, who would like her like that?

Chen Lizhen sighed. If the two children were only half as sensible as Ru Bao, she wouldn't be so worried.

Hearing Aunt Zhen sigh, Xu Rubao couldn't help but ask, "Aunt Zhen, why are you sighing?"

"I'm worried about Ziqing and Ziyang, Rubao. I know they're usually too willful and have bullied you quite a bit, but can you promise me one thing?"

Xu Rubao nodded. "Aunt Zhen, just tell me. As long as it's within my power."

She agreed without hesitation. In this family, besides her grandfather treating her the best, Aunt Zhen had also taken good care of her.

When Grandpa was away, Grandma found fault with her everywhere, so Aunt Zhen secretly brought her a lot of food.

Given this kindness, how could she refuse to help if she could?

“Ru Bao, I just hope that if Zi Qing or Zi Yang gets into trouble in the future, you can keep an eye on them for me, especially Zi Qing. All she thinks about is marrying into a wealthy family. No matter what I say, she won’t listen. I’m always afraid she’ll suffer.”

Chen Lizhen wanted to talk about her mother-in-law, but ultimately didn't dare to.

Xu Rubao nodded. "Aunt Zhen, don't worry. Even if you don't say anything, I will do what I can. I am very grateful to Grandpa for taking me in."

"Ru Bao, you are such a good child."

Such a well-behaved child, I really don't understand how her parents could be so heartless as to abandon her.

When her father-in-law brought her home, she was still very young, and her cries were not very loud.

Over the years, her mother-in-law had tried to investigate her background several times, but she knew nothing about it.

No matter how much her mother-in-law pressed her, her father-in-law never uttered a single word about Ru Bao's background.

After several more investigations, my mother-in-law couldn't find anything, so the matter was dropped.

Around seven o'clock, Xu Chenghai went to the airport to pick up Xu Jinnan and Xu Ziyang, who had finally returned.

Upon entering, Xu Jinnan glanced at Ru Bao and breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing that she was alright.

"Old man, you're finally back! You've lost weight."

"I'm fine. Fortunately, we managed to buy all the medicinal herbs this time. Chenghai, keep an eye on the delivery. When the goods arrive, deliver them to us personally."

Xu Chenghai nodded. He dared not be careless again; he had almost lost the entire herbal medicine business.

"Ziyang, come here quickly and let Grandma see you. Why are you so tanned? And you've lost weight."

Xu Ziyang is young and in better health, but his grandfather is so old, we can't let him run around doing everything.

So, I got a bit tanned.

"Grandma, I'm a man, it's okay for me to get a tan."
