Is that so?
Your grandson is among them.
Even without Jiang Tong saying anything, Madam Zhou recognized Zhou Jiaqi's masterpiece. She chuckled and covered her mouth, saying, "That kid Qiqi, his drawing never improves. The boats he draws are always exactly the same, just like his dad's when he was a kid."
But as a grandmother, Mrs. Zhou may look carefree, but she also cares a lot about her children.
Otherwise, one wouldn't be able to notice the details in these paintings.
Jiang Tong smiled unconsciously. Although she was very nervous when Mrs. Zhou suddenly appeared, she gradually calmed down and was able to have a good chat with her.
It was just around the time the children were about to finish class when Zhou Yuansheng sent a message saying he would pick up the three children later.
Jiang Tong breathed a sigh of relief.
After tasting the pastries made by Jiang Tong, Mrs. Zhou was delighted and her eyes lit up. She praised Jiang Tong profusely, saying, "These are absolutely delicious! They're so good! Can I take some home with me?"
Jiang Tong immediately replied, "Of course, I'll install it for you in a bit."
Mrs. Zhou sweetly replied, "Thank you, darling~"
Just then, the doorbell rang again.
Jiang Tong got up to open the door. "The fresh milk I ordered should have arrived... Uncle He??"
As soon as she opened the door, she saw Zhou Yuansheng's old butler. He was dressed in a tailcoat today, looking very formal. Then, he cheerfully produced a basket of fruit from behind him. "These are fresh fruits that have just been airlifted in. I hope you will accept them, Madam Jiang. I bet you will like them very much."
Jiang Tong was stunned.
Mrs. Zhou, who was behind him, immediately stood up and came over. "Oh! Isn't this William?"
Uncle He's face twitched instantly. He glanced behind Jiang Tong and immediately tried to turn and run away, but Madam Zhou grabbed him, startling Uncle He into taking a big step back. "Madam, you can't just grab me like that, Master will be angry!"
Mrs. Zhou chuckled and said, "Hahaha, you're still so timid. Don't worry, Old Zhou mistook you for a love rival eight hundred years ago. What are you afraid of?"
Uncle He's face was full of disgust and resistance. He wished he could run away as soon as possible, but he didn't dare to. He said helplessly, "Why did you come to Madam Jiang's place?"
He wondered if she also liked Madam Jiang's cooking? It didn't seem quite right for the mother and son to be freeloading off this one person, did it?
Upon hearing this, Madam Zhou immediately disagreed, saying, "No, no, no, Tongtong is my future daughter-in-law. You should call her Young Madam!"
Seeing this chaotic scene, Jiang Tong really wanted to dig a hole and crawl into it. She witnessed He Bo's shocked expression, and then he was completely petrified.
Zhou Yuansheng didn't tell Uncle He about this, and Uncle He really didn't know that she was pretending to be Zhou Yuansheng's girlfriend. Jiang Tong had previously asked Zhou Yuansheng if he wasn't afraid that his wife would find out if she asked Uncle He. What did Zhou Yuansheng say at the time?
"Oh," he said calmly, "it's alright. Uncle He has a psychological trauma related to my parents. He's like a mouse seeing a cat whenever he sees them. There's absolutely no way he would contact them."
Jiang Tong asked him curiously why, and later learned from Zhou Yuansheng that his parents' courtship was really dramatic and melodramatic, with many breakups and reconciliations, misunderstandings, and even a "wife-chasing-after-the-cremation" scenario.
Uncle He was the pitiful cannon fodder caught in the middle. He took the hits when Zhou Yuansheng's parents argued, and he had to eat dog food when they were being affectionate.
So he was tortured to the point of being terrified, and now he avoids Zhou Yuansheng's parents whenever he sees them.
Jiang Tong didn't expect things to go so coincidentally. Madam Zhou surprised her today, and Uncle He also happened to come over to deliver something to her, resulting in a chaotic situation.
She could only frantically give Uncle He meaningful glances.
Uncle He struggled to process the news. His young master was actually with Madam Jiang?!
Does he have that speed?
Uncle He expressed his doubts, but then he reasoned with himself and realized that it made sense. No wonder his young master had been acting more and more like his father during their honeymoon phase, running to Madam Jiang's place every day. Had the two already been together?
But why not tell him?
Uncle He looked weary; his inner monologue was already playing out the scenario of his eldest son distrusting him.
Mrs. Zhou pretended not to notice Mr. He's shocked expression and said with a smile, "Oh dear, oh dear, this is perfectly normal! You must be overjoyed, my son is getting married again, and you're still single."
He Bo felt as if an arrow had suddenly pierced his heart.
Jiang Tong couldn't bear to look at it.
Mrs. Zhou, still smiling, said to Uncle He, "We old friends haven't seen each other for so long, shouldn't we catch up? Let me tell you, Old Zhou just ordered a huge bouquet of roses for me the day before yesterday. We're an old married couple, but he's still so sweet. Oh, he really is my little sweetheart."
Jiang Tong saw that Uncle He's soul was almost flying away, and she sincerely mourned for Uncle He for a second.
Fortunately, Zhou Yuansheng arrived in time. Uncle He ran away as fast as he could, leaving the three children dumbfounded. Zhou Jiaqi looked at his grandmother in shock and said, "Grandma, did you scare Grandpa He again? Don't scare him!"
Mrs. Zhou immediately retorted coquettishly, "No, I just wanted to share my joy with an old friend! Sigh, back then your Grandpa He and I were such great partners, we could talk about anything. It's a pity that he started avoiding me after I started dating your grandpa."
Zhou Yuansheng said helplessly, "Isn't that all your and Dad's fault? You always use him as a bridge."
What a terrible thing to do.
Mrs. Zhou gave her son a playful glare, then noticed the twin girls beside him. Hanhan had her hair in a bun, and Peipei had her hair in a princess style. Both girls were fair-skinned and delicate, with chubby cheeks, dark eyes, and beautiful features. They looked very fresh and lovely.
She was immediately overjoyed. "Oh my! You must be Hanhan and Peipei? My goodness! You two are such sweethearts, just as beautiful as your mother!"
Hanhan was so frightened that she hid behind Zhou Yuansheng, clinging to his pants and refusing to let go.
Peipei blinked and even dared to approach, then smiled sweetly and said, "Grandma, your pearl necklace is so beautiful!"
Mrs. Zhou immediately beamed with joy, and said with a loving expression, "Oh my, you must be Peipei? I've seen your picture, you are indeed very lovable. Can Grandma hold you? How about Grandma gives you this necklace?"
Without any hesitation, Peipei reached out and let Madam Zhou hug her.
Hanhan couldn't help but say, "What an idiot. He'll get kidnapped sooner or later."
Zhou Jiaqi looked helpless, like an old man, "Grandma's here again, Hanhan, let's not go over there, or she'll keep hugging and kissing you until your face is covered in drool!"
Hanhan immediately gripped Zhou Yuansheng's pants even tighter; she didn't want to be kissed by someone she didn't know well.
Zhou Yuansheng also looked helpless.
Jiang Tong was stunned, suddenly feeling that this world was truly magical.
When she came to her senses.
Mrs. Zhou was even going to take off her necklace and give it to Peipei; that huge string of Australian white pearls!
Jiang Tong quickly stopped her, saying, "No, no, no, please don't give it to her. She's just a child and doesn't know any better. Peipei, you can't just ask other people for things!"
