As soon as she entered the room, she sensed that something was wrong.
Dan Fangdu's mother watched as Dan Lian stood beside Dan Shengshuo, gently patting his back.
"Dad, what's wrong?"
The mother of the unilateral degree went over and asked.
Shan Shengshuo looked at her, displeasure in his eyes, "You still have the nerve to ask me what's wrong?"
Dan Fangdu's mother felt a chill and looked at Dan Lian in a panic.
Shan Lian was very kind to her aunt. She said from the side, "Grandpa, if my cousin does something wrong, it's his fault. It has nothing to do with you, Aunt. You can't involve others."
Shan Lian patted Shan Shengshuo on the back to help him catch his breath, saying, "Cousin is so mean, he actually upset you, Grandpa! I'll go find him later and teach him a lesson for you! I'll get revenge for you!"
Shan Lian sweetly coaxed Shan Shengshuo, "Grandpa, don't be angry anymore. Watch how I teach my cousin a lesson, okay?"
Looking at the child born to his only daughter, Shan Shengshuo's chest, which had been heaving with anger at Shan Fangdu, finally calmed down a bit.
Seeing that Shan Shengshuo's anger had been suppressed by Shan Lian, Shan Fangdu's mother relaxed a little.
She couldn't help but resent Shan Shengshuo in her heart.
He's so harsh on his own grandson, yet he's incredibly kind to his granddaughter. I really don't know what he's thinking.
Shan Shengshuo stopped Shan Lian from patting his back and gently patted Shan Lian's arm. "If your cousin were half as sensible as you, he wouldn't have to worry so much!"
Only then did Shan Lian ask in detail, "What exactly did my cousin do?"
Dan Shengshuo snorted coldly and cursed, "You good-for-nothing, bringing such a disreputable woman home in front of so many people!"
Shan Lian and Shan Fangdu's mother were immediately startled.
Fang Du's mother was naturally more concerned about her son and quickly asked, "How is that possible? I've never heard of Fang Du being involved with a woman!"
Dan Shengshuo looked at her and sneered, "There are many things you don't know. Your good son was sure that there were many people at the party and I couldn't do anything to him and that woman. He brought people to wander around my party, clearly treating that woman as his girlfriend."
Danfangdu's mother's face turned pale instantly, and her voice trembled, "Dad... that woman... should be from the Wen family..."
If it were a girl from the Wen family, both families would be happy to see it happen.
Dan Shengshuo: "That's bullshit!"
"Whose is that?" Shan Lian asked curiously.
"Never seen her before. I wonder which family deliberately placed this woman next to Fang Du in order to climb the social ladder."
Shan Shengshuo really didn't know who Liu Yinyin was.
He holds a high position of power, and there are many things that need to be handled and done by him.
Because of Guo Zhen's misbehavior, Shan Lian suffered grievances at his hands. Instead of going to Liu Yinyin, Shan Shengshuo went directly to Guo Zhen.
Since it was Guo Zhen who made the mistake, it would be more effective to reprimand Guo Zhen than to reprimand Liu Yinyin.
He didn't even go to see Liu Yinyin, and he didn't even know what Liu Yinyin looked like.
So much so that even when he met Liu Yinyin, he didn't know that she was Guo Zhen's mistress.
When Shan Shengshuo's mother heard Shan Fangdu's speculation, she was also angered.
In her eyes, anyone worthy of her son must be at least on the same level as her family. If she were to find the daughter of someone who would be of no use to her son, wouldn't that be blatant charity?
She was not happy to let her son help other people!
"That damned bitch! How dare she seduce my son!" Shan Fangdu's mother cursed. "Dad, don't worry, I will never let someone of unknown origin into our Shan family home!"
The attitude of Fang Du's mother made Shan Shengshuo look at her a little better, and he gave a nonchalant "hmm", "Anyway, keep an eye on Fang Du and don't let him do anything reckless."
"I know!"
The drama between the Shan family and Liu Yinyin has only just begun. The real fun will begin when Shan Lian sees Liu Yinyin and Shan Shengshuo finds out who she is.
...
Jiang Ci returned home but did not find Zhou Mingli there.
Zhou Yang and Zhou Miao were playing with Mingzhu's two children in the yard, while Huang Zheyue moved a stool and sat on the porch reading a book.
"Mother!"
Zhou Miao saw the person first and ran over to call her.
Jiang Ci smiled and ruffled her hair. "Where's your dad?"
Zhou Miao thought for a moment and said, "Dad said he went to take care of some errands and hasn't come back yet."
Jiang Ci responded and told her to go play, then raised her wrist to check her watch.
It was only a little past four in the afternoon when I realized it was just past four.
I wonder what Zhou Mingli went to do and why he hasn't come back yet.
Huang Zheyue put down her book and followed Jiang Ci into the house, whispering, "Aunt Jiang, Uncle Zhou went to help his master. He has some urgent work to do today."
Since the red armbands were banned, some people have been trying to find work, and since fewer people are investigating, more and more people are doing this kind of thing.
Jiang Ci responded, "No wonder."
She washed her hands and said to Huang Zheyue, "Come on, let me see what book you're reading."
Huang Zheyue perked up and immediately brought up all the questions that had been piling up, asking Jiang Ci about them.
Before Zhou Mingli returned, Jiang Ci had been tutoring Huang Zheyue.
As soon as he entered the house, he saw Jiang Ci's bicycle, knowing that she had returned. He parked his bicycle, picked up his bag, and went inside.
Huang Zheyue was listening to Jiang Ci explain how to solve mathematical formulas, and neither of them noticed that Zhou Mingli had returned.
Seeing that they were focused, Zhou Mingli didn't disturb them. He took off his coat, revealing his short-sleeved shirt and strong arms underneath, washed himself quickly, and then went over to see what they were learning.
Huang Zheyue was also a smart child. After Jiang Ci finished explaining, he could apply what he learned to other situations and write very quickly.
Jiang Ci saw that his steps were correct, so she got up to leave. However, she bumped her head on something warm. When she looked up, she realized that Zhou Mingli had returned at some point.
Zhou Mingli supported her waist, preventing her from sitting back down.
Following Zhou Mingli's force, Jiang Ci stood up and got off the chair.
Zhou Mingli held her hand and listened as she asked, "When did you get back?"
"You just got back not long ago." Zhou Mingli looked her up and down, tapping on the dimple on her cheek. "You look very happy."
Jiang Ci tried hard not to laugh. She stood on tiptoe and whispered in Zhou Mingli's ear.
As she spoke, Jiang Ci couldn't hold back her excitement, her body trembling slightly.
Zhou Mingli was helpless. He supported her waist and led her into the master bedroom to avoid disturbing Huang Zheyue.
Back in her room, Jiang Ci couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"I finally understand the true meaning of the saying, 'You search high and low without finding it, but then it comes to you effortlessly.'"
Jiang Ci's eyes were full of smiles as she leaned against Zhou Mingli's chest. "I've figured out so many things in such a short time. Tell me, am I happy or not?"
Her smile was so infectious that Zhou Mingli's lips unconsciously curved into a smile as well, but he was merely listening and still retained his rationality.
Now that you understand the cause and effect, who do you want to tell the whole story to?
