He Yanbei: "It's okay, auntie, I'll help you urge her."
Yu Wanhua didn't miss the gentle and doting look in He Yanbei's eyes when he looked at his daughter. "If you ask me, you two grew up together and know each other well, why don't you just be together?"
Chen Nianchu: "Please don't try to match me up with other people. Brother Yanbei's career is booming and he's about to win a Hollywood award. If I get together with him, his female fans will tear me apart."
Suddenly, Yu Wanhua covered her mouth with a handkerchief and coughed a few times.
Shen Nianchu quickly patted her back, "What's wrong, Mom? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
Yu Wanhua covered her mouth with a handkerchief and said nothing. She just pointed at the teacup on the table, and He Yanbei quickly handed it over.
While Shen Nianchu was taking the teacup, Yu Wanhua put away the handkerchief, took a few sips of scented tea, and then spoke.
"Why would I feel uncomfortable? I just choked."
Shen Nianchu looked at her hesitantly, "Have you been taking your medicine on time recently? How about I go remove the plaster tomorrow and take you for a checkup while I'm at it?"
"Don't bother me anymore. It's just gastroenteritis. Why do you keep checking it?"
"Did you eat something spicy for dinner, and that's why you're feeling unwell again? You've lost weight recently, do you want me to get you some medicine?"
Yu Wanhua: "It's really okay, I'm just trying to lose weight, so that you don't suddenly bring a boyfriend back, or suddenly get married like Shen Wanqing. If you are too fat, you won't look good in a cheongsam. Your second aunt has been starving herself to death recently because of her weight loss."
Shen Nianchu: "Are you really okay?"
"You kid, can I still lie to you? If you don't believe me, ask Aunt Zhao."
Zhao Ma is the most experienced servant in the Shen family. She has been in the Shen family since Shen Nianchu was born, and has taken good care of Yu Wanhua over the years.
Zhao Ma poured Yu Wanhua another glass of water. "Don't worry, Miss. Madam is fine. Your career has been going well recently, and Madam is in a much better mood too. Look, she's in the mood to put on makeup today."
Since becoming a full-time housewife, Yu Wanhua has become less and less interested in dressing up. Today, she looks really energetic and has exquisite makeup.
"That's right, can you please hope for my well-being and ask me if I'm okay every day?" Yu Wanhua glanced at the clock hanging on the wall.
"Oh, it's almost half past nine. Okay, you two should go back. Don't you both have things to do tomorrow? I need to rest too. Come to my house for dinner when you're free."
Shen Nianchu looked at the time and saw that it was indeed time for Yu Wanhua to rest, so he stood up.
"Then I'll go back first. If you feel any discomfort, you must tell me, Aunt Zhao. Thank you for taking care of my mother. If she feels any discomfort, you must call me in time and don't listen to her hiding it from me."
"Don't worry, miss. I know everything."
Yu Wanhua waved her hand and said, "Hurry up, hurry up, Yanbei. Thank you for taking Nianchu home. Come home when you have time. Auntie will cook your favorite food."
He Yanbei nodded: "Don't worry, auntie, I will definitely send them home safely. You can rest early. When I have time, I will definitely drag Nianchu to come and taste your cooking again."
"Okay, drive safely."
Shen Nianchu: "Then you should rest early. I will arrange for Zhao Ma to accompany you for a physical examination in a few days. You are not allowed to refuse."
"Okay, okay."
It was not until He Yanbei's car disappeared from sight that Yu Wanhua felt as if all the strength had been drained from her body. She was about to sit down on the ground powerlessly, covering her lower abdomen.
Mother Zhao quickly helped her up and brought her into the room. She watched her drink the painkillers she had prepared that morning, and her wrinkled face was filled with worry.
"Madam, please tell the young lady. It's not a good idea to keep it a secret."
The drug didn't work that fast. Yu Wanhua covered her lower abdomen and endured the pain.
"What's the point of telling her? The doctors are helpless. It's just a waste of worry for her. She hasn't had it easy these past few years. She's just starting her career. I don't have much time left anyway, so I'd better not make her worry and sad."
"But she'll find out sooner or later. Won't you have to have a physical examination in a few days?"
Yu Wanhua took off her makeup, revealing her haggard face.
"Of course I have a way. If you love Nianchu and really want her best, then don't tell her and make her worry. It's just death, there's nothing to be afraid of. What I'm worried about is that I may not see her get married, and I don't know what kind of boyfriend she will find in the future."
Aunt Zhao: "I see that Master He is very handsome and looks very compatible with the young lady. His speech and behavior are also very gentle and elegant. It would be wonderful if they were together."
"Yes, Yan Bei has been taking care of Nian Chu since she was a child, and I watched her grow up. She's really good. I'm just afraid that Nian Chu hasn't developed the desire to fall in love yet. Look at how heartless she is. When she heard that Shen Wanqing was pregnant with Yu Ziqian's child, she looked like she was just watching a show."
"It's good that Miss values her career. It's always better to rely on yourself than on others."
"Yes," Yu Wanhua almost fainted as she struggled to get up.
"But I still have to bring her and Yan Bei together. I can see that there is affection in Yan Bei's eyes when he looks at Nian Chu. If I can see her find someone to be with before I leave, I will feel more at ease."
…
He Yanbei sent Shen Nianchu down to the downstairs of the apartment building. When she was about to get off the car, he stopped her and said, "Nianchu, auntie, have you never thought about returning to the workplace in these years?"
Shen Nianchu's hand paused as he opened the car door, "No, she has been in poor health and has no intention of continuing to work."
Seeing that He Yanbei was hesitant to speak, Shen Nianchu asked again: "Brother Yanbei, do you have anything to say?"
He Yanbei considered it again and again, and finally said:
"When you were on the phone with Uncle today, I noticed that Auntie wasn't in a good mood... I have a feeling that since Auntie is fine now, she might be able to return to work. After all, if it weren't for Auntie's ruthless tactics, how could the Shen family have dominated the building materials market back then?"
"I've tried to persuade her before, but she said she didn't want to go. Do you think she's in a bad mood?"
"Maybe I'm mistaken and overthinking it, but my uncle is old now and can't handle it anymore. It's always better for two people to be together than alone. Aunt's mood will naturally be different if she changes her environment than when she was a full-time housewife. Besides, with Aunt's business talent, it's a pity for her to stay at home for so many years."
It’s a pity, of course. She has advised him countless times, but can one person persuade three people?
"Then I'll talk to her later," Shen Nianchu unbuckled his seat belt, "Thank you, Brother Yanbei, I'll be leaving first. Go back and be careful. Send me a message when you arrive."
"good."
It was already past ten o'clock when Shen Nianchu arrived at the top floor. Lu Jinzhou was still busy in the study, so he changed his clothes by himself.
Just after changing, I received a message from He Yanbei: [I'm here.]
So fast?
[I have a house in Lanting Yaju, next door to yours.]
Chen Nianchu: [What a coincidence? We'll be neighbors from now on.]
He Yanbei: [Neighbor, go to bed early. Good night. See you on the set.]
Chen Nianchu: [Good night.]
