Seeing that Xu Wanwan was trying to appeal to his emotions again, Shen Shi said "sorry" and went upstairs.

Xu Wanwan, who remained where she was, still couldn't believe that after so many years of relationship with Shen Shi, he would be so heartless as to not even give her an intern position.

After going upstairs, Chen Shi took out his phone to check the time, only to find that it had been muted at some point.

There are now more than a dozen missed calls on my phone, all from a woman named "Lin Han".

She was Shen Shi's biological mother and Shen Tianqi's first wife. Just thinking about her gave Shen Shi a headache, and he rubbed his temples helplessly.

Looking at the call log, which showed calls every five minutes, four minutes had passed since the last call.

Sure enough, a minute later, the phone's call screen popped up.

"Son, why didn't you answer your mother's call just now?" the woman on the other end of the phone asked softly.

"I accidentally turned it on silent. Is something wrong so late?" Shen Shi asked.

"Oh, so it was muted. I thought it was on purpose." Lin Han's chuckle reached Shen Shi's ears, making his head start to ache again.

Lin Han chuckled to herself for a while. Seeing Chen Shi's reaction, she stopped laughing. "Just kidding, wasn't it funny?"

Chen listened quietly without answering.

"Come over tomorrow." As expected of a mother and son, Lin Han made her request just as Shen Shi was about to hang up.

"I don't have time," Shen Shi said decisively.

"Tomorrow is your grandmother's 70th birthday. She's never celebrated it before, and this is the only time. She hasn't seen you for months and misses you. Even if you don't have time, you have to come," Lin Han said, leaving no room for refusal.

I spent some time at my maternal grandmother's house when I was little. She was really good to me and would visit me during holidays and festivals.

After thinking it over carefully, I realized that my grandmother's birthday was indeed around these few days, so I replied with a "hello".
