Since Yang Degong returned, he has been working diligently and often forgets to eat or sleep. Today, he even went home for lunch, which naturally piqued everyone's curiosity.
However, Yang Degong didn't care about them. He had already come to terms with it. He had lived most of his life, and for the rest of his life, he just wanted to live more freely.
Of course, to live freely, one must have power, which is why he worked so hard after returning. Only by standing in a high position can one avoid being arbitrarily controlled by others and protect the people one wants to protect.
Humming a little tune, I got into my private car and went home.
The car traveled smoothly all the way and soon entered the compound.
"Big sister, look! Isn't that General Yang in that car?" Shan Danqing tugged at Shan Zhishu's sleeve and asked.
Shan Zhishu nodded. "Yes, it's him. He's gone home."
The car had already driven into the yard.
"It seems your daughter-in-law is staying at the Yang family's for dinner. We won't be able to wait for her for a while. Why don't we go back and have a meal too?"
The weather was alright today, but it's winter after all. Even with the sun out, standing outside for a long time still made my hands and feet freeze from the wind.
Ah, I'm getting old, and I don't have the same fiery temper as young people anymore.
Although Shan Zhishu was unwilling, she also felt cold, and her legs and feet were numb after standing for a while. She couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Let's go back first."
The group didn't see anyone and got tired, so they weren't feeling very good.
Qin Wan went even further, saying, "Auntie, you can just have Brother Mu bring the person back directly. Why do you have to go see him secretly yourself?"
“Your brother says it’s not the right time yet.” Shan Zhishu felt uneasy, her tone tinged with resentment. “I really don’t know what he’s thinking. He’s already so old, and he still doesn’t hurry up. I just… sigh…”
Dan Danqing frowned and suggested, "Why don't you call Xiao Mu again and ask?"
After thinking for a moment, Shan Zhishu got up and dialed the number.
Shang Ziming received a phone call informing him that Su Xiao had gone to the Yang family and told Shan Zhishu not to worry about it.
Shan Zhishu was displeased. "Your girlfriend is already in the compound, it's just a few steps away, why doesn't she think of visiting our home? What does she mean by that? Does she think our family's reputation is beneath her?"
Shang Ziming frowned slightly as he listened to Shan Zhishu's complaints. He suddenly understood Su Xiaoxiao's concerns.
"Mom, my relationship with her hasn't reached the point where I should visit her in person yet. Why are you in such a hurry? What's the big deal about social standing? What's the disgrace? Mom, watch your words."
Shang Ziming's last sentence was spoken in a low voice, which sounded very oppressive to Shan Zhishu.
"I...I understand." Shan Zhishu's grip on the phone tightened slightly as she suppressed her discomfort and changed the subject, "Are you coming home for dinner today?"
"I'm back. We can talk about it in detail when I get back," Shang Ziming said in a softened tone.
"Okay." Shan Zhishu felt a little more relaxed.
After hanging up the phone, Shan Danqing immediately asked curiously, "What did Xiao Mu say?"
Shan Zhishu frowned and pursed her lips. "I didn't say much. His idea is sound. Let him decide for himself. I'm not going to interfere."
Shan Zhishu didn't want to say more, so Shan Danqing wisely didn't ask any more questions and went back dejectedly.
After his sister and niece left, Shan Zhishu sat upright on the sofa in silent reflection.
She lost her composure today because she was anxious about her youngest son's marriage. She lost her sense of proportion, and the recent series of policy changes also made her complacent, almost causing her to make a mistake.
Shan Zhishu silently repeated "be careful with your words and actions" ten times in his heart.
