Chen Shuning wasn't sure whether to call herself lucky or unlucky.
Her misfortune was that, having had a stable job and a prosperous life, she lost her life in a fire at a newly opened la...
Chen Shuning roughly guessed the identity of the old lady with a full head of white hair in front of her. She was probably her grandmother's personal maid or something, who had grown up with the young lady.
However, they did not show the slightest disrespect to the old lady because she was a maid.
She politely pulled her hand back, bowed respectfully to Granny Zhang, and sweetly called out, "Granny Zhang."
The old lady looked at Chen Shuning with eyes full of affection.
She took Chen Shuning's hand, looked him over carefully, and said repeatedly, "Good, good, he's good-looking and well-behaved. Our Chaoyang is so lucky!"
Chen Shuning felt a little embarrassed by the old lady's praise. She blushed and said, "Grandma Zhang, you flatter me."
The old lady then realized that she had been a bit out of line. She clapped her hands and said with a smile, "Look at me, I can't help but like pretty girls. Shuning, don't be offended, I was just so happy that I forgot."
Chen Shuning smiled and shook her head, saying, "How could that be, Grandma Zhang? I know you are genuinely happy for Chaoyang."
The old lady was even more delighted with Chen Shuning's words.
She took Chen Shuning's hand and said, "Good child, it's good that you understand. By the way, Chaoyang, hurry up and take Shuning inside. If Miss and Young Master knew you were here, they would be overjoyed."
At that time, although the old lady's family only ran a small teahouse, they only had one child, Old Lady Lu, who was pampered from a young age. The old lady had everything that a young lady from a wealthy family had.
This Granny Zhang had been Old Madam Lu's maid since childhood, and she couldn't change her way of addressing Old Master Lu and Old Madam Lu, or even He Chaoyang's uncles and He's mother.
The old lady insisted that the children of He Chaoyang's generation be addressed by their given names.
In other words, the old lady never went out in the first place, otherwise it would have been troublesome if those women with red armbands outside heard these old-fashioned terms.
He Chaoyang was indeed eager to see his maternal grandparents, so he quickly pulled Chen Shuning into the house.
Since the old lady fell ill, the old man has stopped going to the Chamber of Commerce and stays by her side every day.
The old man was sitting by the old woman's bedside with a book in his hand, reading softly.
His eyes were filled with concern and worry, as if he could perceive every subtle change that occurred in the old woman.
When He Chaoyang entered the room and saw his grandparents, tears welled up in his eyes.
He walked over to the old lady, called out "Grandpa" to the old man sitting in the chair, and then knelt down in front of the bed and gently held the old lady's hand.
"Grandma, I've come to see you. How are you feeling?" He Chaoyang asked softly.
When the old lady heard her grandson's voice, she slightly opened her eyes, saw He Chaoyang, and a surprised smile appeared on her face.
"Chaoyang, why are you here? Why are you here at this time? Will it delay the wedding? They really are something, you have so many things to do for your wedding, and they still let you come. Is that my granddaughter-in-law behind you?" The old lady's voice was very weak, but she still tried her best to make her voice sound clearer.
He Chaoyang felt very sad when he saw the old lady's appearance.
Even at this moment, the old lady was still thinking about him and his new wife. She looked so uncomfortable, but she still forced herself to look behind him.
He Chaoyang knew that the old lady had always hoped that he would get married soon, and she had been looking forward to this granddaughter-in-law for a long time.
So when she heard her grandmother mention her daughter-in-law, she quickly pulled Chen Shuning behind her to the bedside and said, "Grandma, look, this is your granddaughter-in-law. Isn't she beautiful?"
Chen Shuning walked shyly to the bedside. First, she imitated He Chaoyang and bowed to the old man sitting by the bed, calling him "Grandpa." After seeing the old man smile and nod with satisfaction, she squatted down next to He Chaoyang.
She smiled and greeted the old lady sweetly, "Hello, Grandma."
The old lady looked at Chen Shuning with a pleased smile and said, "Good, good, what a beautiful girl, good, really good."
Looking at the old lady's smile, He Chaoyang felt a sense of comfort. He knew that the old lady always hoped that he could find a good girl, get married, have children, and live a happy life.
Now that he has finally found Chen Shuning, he has fulfilled one of the old lady's wishes.
The old lady held Chen Shuning's hand and said, "Shuning, my Chaoyang is a good boy, just a little stubborn, but he has a good heart. Don't worry, he will definitely treat you well."
Grandma hopes you two will support and understand each other, and live a good life together.
Chen Shuning nodded gratefully and said, "Grandma, I will. Brother He is very kind and takes good care of me. I will learn to take good care of him in the future."
While the old lady was talking to Chen Shuning, He Chaoyang turned to look at his grandfather and found that his eyes were bloodshot.
He knew that his grandfather would not trust anyone else to take care of his grandmother when she was sick, and that he must have stayed by her side every step of the way, which is why things turned out this way.
The old man is over seventy years old this year, and it's not good for him to keep going like this for a long time. However, He Chaoyang also knows that none of his uncles can persuade this stubborn old man. It seems that he still needs to call his mother later and ask her to come over as soon as possible.
My stubborn old man, my maternal grandfather, is only someone his mother can reason with.
However, before his mother arrived, he still needed to say a few words of advice. So He Chaoyang stood up, walked to his grandfather's side, and took the old man's hand.
