As soon as the words fell, He Wanrong's kind and gentle voice came over: "Shuhe, I heard from Xiaoyu that you went back to Nanlin, right?"
Shen Shuhe was silent for a few seconds after hearing this, then nodded and said yes.
He Wanrong laughed immediately: "Then why don't you come and see grandma? Grandma misses you."
Shen Shuhe was speechless for a moment.
She just came back yesterday and really didn't have time to go to the old house. Besides, she really didn't want to hear the ridiculous idea that the old lady had mentioned to her before.
So I said, "Sorry grandma, I'm a little busy here."
"Oh, yes, I forgot that you are busy looking for a new job now." He Wanrong said considerately, "Are you free tonight? Grandma wants to see you and we can chat."
Afraid that Shen Shuhe would disagree, she quickly added: “Don’t worry, grandma just wants to talk to you about Xiaoyu’s situation.”
Hearing this, Shen Shuhe looked at Wen Yu.
Wen Yu looked at her and asked what was wrong?
...
...
Shen Shuhe waved his hand, thought for a few seconds and replied: “Okay grandma, I’ll come to you later.”
"Okay! I'll wait for you!"
After hanging up the phone, Wen Yu asked, "Who are you looking for?"
"Pei Jingmo's grandmother." Shen Shuhe said helplessly.
Wen Yu also thought of what He Wanrong said last time, and said worriedly: "She is not going to urge you and Pei Jingmo to have a second child! Shuhe, why did you agree to her?"
Shen Shuhe put the phone in her bag, “She said to tell me about Xiaoyu’s situation, I have no reason not to go back…”
In the old lady's eyes, she is Xiaoyu's biological mother. As a grandmother, how can she refuse to talk to her daughter-in-law about her grandson?
Besides, if I refuse today, the old lady will call me again, so it’s better to make things clear all at once.
Wen Yu also knew that she was not divorced yet, after all, she had no choice, so she told her: "Remember to call me if you have anything!"
She was afraid that Shuhe would really fall into the old lady's "den of thieves".
Shen Shuhe smiled and said, "Okay~"
The two parted ways in front of the elevator, and Shen Shuhe drove to the old house.
Because of the traffic jam, it took her almost an hour to arrive.
Peiyi happened to be in the yard, and when she saw Shen Shuhe getting out of the car, she took two steps closer and called out, "Young Madam."
"Is grandma in the room?" Shen Shuhe nodded and asked.
Peiyi: "Yes, the old lady has been waiting for you."
"good."
Shen Shuhe walked in quickly and saw He Wanrong in the living room. She greeted him, “Grandma, I’m sorry there was a traffic jam on the road.”
He Wanrong was reading a book. When she heard the voice, she looked up and said in surprise, "Shuhe girl, you're here!"
"Hurry up and sit down and drink some water."
Peiyi handed over the water in time: "Young Madam, please."
"Thanks."
"Shuhe girl, it's time for dinner. Why don't you stay and eat with me and Le Yao?" The old lady put down the book and said kindly.
Chen Shuhe was extremely disgusted with this. She felt that there was no benefit in staying here except listening to Pei Leyao's sarcasm.
So she declined gently: "Sorry grandma, I have an appointment with a friend tonight, I will come to accompany you next time."
In this case, He Wanrong could only say yes.
"By the way, grandma, what do you want to tell me? What happened to Xiaoyu?" Shen Shuhe asked straight to the point.
He Wanrong glanced at Peiyi, and then Peiyi cleared the servants in the living room. She then spoke: "Shuhe, do you know that Xiaoyu is sick?"
"...I know. I came back to the mansion yesterday."
"Oh? Then why don't you stay?" He Wanrong asked, "You are Xiaoyu's biological mother. If she is sick, you should stay and take care of her in person."
“Grandma…there is no place for me in the mansion.” Shen Shuhe looked at He Wanrong and smiled self-deprecatingly.
"You kid are talking nonsense! How could there be no place for you in such a big mansion? You are the mistress of the mansion!" He Wanrong looked at her calm face, then took Shen Shuhe's hand and sighed softly: "You want to say that the woman is here, right?"
Shen Shuhe did not answer.
Seeing this, He Wanrong sighed again: "I can take care of Jing Mo for a while, but I can't take care of him forever. There will always be a time when I can't take care of him."
"But you are Jing Mo's wife, you should keep your position! If that woman comes over, you should kick her out. You have the right to do so!"
The old lady said this with indignation.
Unfortunately, all of this is based on the premise that Pei Jingmo has feelings for her.
There is no love between the two of them, and this marriage is just a decoration. Hasn't it been like this for the past five years?
She knew that He Wanrong had good intentions, but Shen Shuhe didn't want to waste any more time on this matter.
Now her marriage with Pei Jingmo is in name only. She did not choose to divorce because she did not want Pei Jingmo and Song Qingyin to be too comfortable.
As long as she is still Mrs. Pei, Song Qingyin will always be the third party who cannot be seen in public.
And Pei Jingmo will never be able to marry the woman he loves.
This was her punishment for them!
Shen Shuhe secretly clenched his fingertips, and casually responded to the old lady: "Grandma, I will."
Seeing her agree obediently, He Wanrong breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that you understand. Remember, you must work hard to win back Xiaoyu and Jingmo's hearts!"
"Yeah." Shen Shuhe still answered with his mouth not matching his heart.
The old lady smiled and wanted to say something else, but the moment she opened her mouth she glanced at Peiyi beside her, who gave her a look.
She quickly swallowed the words she hadn't said.
Shen Shuhe didn't notice the eye contact between the two. He thought the old lady had almost finished her conversation, so he lowered his head to check the time.
He Wanrong caught it and asked, "Shuhe girl, are you in a hurry?"
"right……"
"Then I won't keep you for dinner tonight." He Wanrong said kindly.
"Grandma, I'm leaving now. I'll come to see you another day." Shen Shuhe stood up and said goodbye.
At this time, Pei Leyao came down from upstairs and frowned when she saw Shen Shuhe: "Hey, what are you doing here?"
"Le Yao, don't be rude."
With He Wanrong protecting her, Pei Leyao glared at Shen Shuhe and went to the backyard angrily.
Shen Shuhe never looked at her directly from beginning to end. He nodded slightly to the old lady and left.
Here, Pei Leyao saw Shen Shuhe leaving and immediately took out her cell phone to call Song Qingyin.
…
For three consecutive days afterwards, Shen Shuhe received invitations from the old lady, asking her to go to the old house, either to accompany her to trim flowers and plants, or to talk to her about how to capture the hearts of Xiaoyu and Pei Jingmo.
While Chen Shuhe was working, he would go to the old house at night to accompany He Wanrong for an hour or two, during which time he had to face Pei Leyao's occasional ridicule and attacks.
Fortunately, the old lady didn't mention the second child issue that made her devastated.
But even so, she was exhausted after three days.
On the fourth day, Friday, she had a rare free afternoon when she received another call from He Wanrong.
Shen Shuhe subconsciously wanted to hang up, but it was impolite after all, so she pretended not to see it.
Unexpectedly, after the call was automatically hung up, the old lady called again, as if she would continue to call if she didn't answer.
Shen Shuhe sighed, covered his forehead and answered: “Grandma…”
He Wanrong's voice came from the other side. Today, she was not as graceful and kind as she was in the past few days. Her voice was full of urgency: "Shuhe, do you have time now? Can you help me find Le Yao?"
