The old lady looked around the newly renovated house, her eyes gradually welling up with tears, and she was so excited that she almost shed a tear.
Although the general layout of the house has not changed, many details have been altered.
For example, the photos on the wall that are full of life, the vibrant green plants in the corner, the cozy bouquet on the table, and the countless little trinkets that belong to girls, may seem casual, but they are actually all carefully arranged.
Everything about them reveals their love for life.
Sure enough, even the most indifferent person will undergo a complete transformation when they meet someone they like.
She was very pleased with the changes in her grandson. If anyone dared to say that the two were not related, she would slap them until their mouths were crooked.
The old lady turned around, took Fu Huaijin's hand, and her eyes sparkled with relief: "Good, seeing that you have changed makes Grandma very happy. Even if I close my eyes now, I will be at peace."
Fu Huaijin frowned: "No."
She is still very healthy and could easily live to be a hundred years old.
Everyone else was all smiles and laughter, but Liu Ying's face remained tense, her gaze sweeping over her surroundings with a deep intensity. The more she looked, the heavier her heart became. She rarely came here, but that didn't mean she was unaware of the layout.
It had only been a few months since she last left this place, yet the walls were already covered with photos of another girl. As far as she knew, Su Yuxi had only been back for less than a month.
Why? By what right?
Her hands clenched slightly, her eyes filled with jealousy. She was clearly the one who could help him the most, while this woman only had a pretty face. Why should she be allowed to stay here?
After hanging the photo frame back on the wall, Hu Chichi quickly scanned everyone present, taking in their thoughts and expressions.
When her gaze accidentally met Chu Juan's inquisitive eyes, she slightly raised her red lips, gently brushed a strand of hair behind her ear with her slender fingers, and blinked her beautiful eyes at him, giving him a charming and alluring look that was sure to captivate anyone.
Chu Juan seemed oblivious, showing no extra expression. He smiled slightly at her as if she were dealing with anyone else, offering no response to her deliberate teasing, and then looked away.
Hu Chichi's smile suddenly froze. This was only the second time in her life she had been ignored by a man. She gently stroked her once-proudly beautiful face with her fingertips and couldn't help but wonder if she wasn't beautiful enough. Why were they all so indifferent?
The old lady wasn't satisfied with just looking at the hall's decor, so she wandered around on her own. Liu Ying took the opportunity to follow her, secretly memorizing every detail of the changes. Only when she had seen enough did the old lady calm down a bit.
She walked back to the hall, sat on the sofa, and searched for Su Yuxi, looking in every corner but couldn't find her: "Where did that girl go?"
Fu Huaijin glanced outside indifferently: "She went out with her sister."
The old lady frowned involuntarily when she thought of her older sister. Seeing that she wasn't there, she sighed softly and couldn't help but chirp, "Xi'er is a good girl, but her sister...tsk..."
She had seen countless people and had a sharp eye; she was always very accurate in judging people. She knew that the girl was not someone to be trifled with. If it weren't for Sister Xi, she would have wanted the girl to stay away from her.
Fu Huaijin didn't reply, but he agreed with the old lady's words.
The old lady became more and more worried: "You have to keep a close eye on Xi'er, lest she be led astray."
"Hmm." Fu Huaijin lowered his eyes and moved them around, responding softly.
The old lady was getting on in years and her spirits were not very good. She had come here to check on her grandson's health, and now that she saw that he was in good spirits, she was relieved. She insisted on leaving with Liu Ying without even having dinner.
She couldn't let Liu Ying stay and disturb her grandson's time together; it would be bad if some misunderstanding arose and caused a rift between the two.
Liu Ying naturally didn't want to go back. Her gaze lingered between Fu Huaijin and the old lady. She had come all this way, but she hadn't gotten what she wanted yet. Fu Huaijin wouldn't keep her, and the old lady was urging her to leave. Although she was unwilling, she had no choice but to leave first.
Hu Chichi received a phone call, seemingly about an emergency, and hurriedly left.
Su Yuxi skipped back home, overjoyed. As soon as she got back, she saw a pile of shopping bags in the living room. These were all the things she had bought that day, and the mall had already sent them over.
"The antidote you received... was it a gift from your sister?" Fu Huaijin walked over to Su Yuxi, who was busy unpacking shopping bags, and asked tentatively. The only change in her behavior during those days was that she went to see her sister.
"Mmm." She felt there was nothing wrong with saying it, so she admitted it directly.
She counted the items, picked out the smallest shopping bag, and handed it to Fu Huaijin behind her: "This is for you."
Today, Sister Chi took her inside to look at men's clothing and taught her a lesson: you can usually ignore men, but you have to give them gifts from time to time to create little surprises and make them happy so that your money can keep flowing in.
She felt that what Sister Chichi said was wrong, because she never bought anything for Lu Yunzhou, yet she still spent money on her.
After breaking up with him, her income has recently plummeted. Fu Huaijin seems to be very rich, but apart from his salary, he has very little extra income, which makes her very worried. Thinking that Sister Chichi understands men better than she does, she gritted her teeth and bought a tie for Fu Huaijin.
When Fu Huaijin received the gift, a sense of surprise welled up in his heart. He hadn't expected to receive a gift. In the past, whatever he needed was handled by a designated person, and gifts from friends were always taken care of for him. Gifts never ended up in his hands.
He reached out and took it, carefully opened it, and examined it closely. It was a dark blue tie, a neutral color, with a soft and smooth texture—not bad.
His face was expressionless, but a slight smile played on his lips as he put his tie back in place.
Su Yuxi continued organizing her purchases, unaware of the man's reaction behind her.
Su Yuxi went to sleep on time that night, and Fu Huaijin was now lying down next to her openly, with the excuse that his room was now a ruin and temporarily uninhabitable, making it impossible for her to refuse.
Fortunately, she received hundreds of thousands of yuan every night, which relieved her immediate financial crisis.
She had just fallen into a deep sleep when the man lying next to her quietly got up and left the room.
They didn't return until dawn.
Su Yuxi's biological clock kicked in, and she slowly woke up. Her eyes opened slightly, and what came into view was Fu Huaijin's figure lying on his side with his back to her.
At this moment, she was able to accept his presence with a calm and collected attitude, after all, he was the one who bought this half of the bed.
She smiled slightly, her fingers crawling like ants as she picked up a strand of silver hair and played with it in her hand. Suddenly, her sensitive nose twitched slightly, and she brought her head closer, smelling a faint scent of blood on him. Although it had been washed and the smell was very faint, it still couldn't escape her nose.
