Zhou Yanchen looked at Shen Qingli's resolute expression, and his heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible force.
Those seemingly insignificant past events were now playing in his mind like a slide show. Every scene was like a sharp blade, piercing his heart.
He had never thought that one day Shen Qingli would be so determined to leave his world, and he actually regretted getting the divorce certificate.
This regret was like a seed that quickly took root in his heart and made his originally firm heart begin to waver.
Silence stretched between the two, as if time had stood still in this solemn atmosphere.
After a moment, Zhou Yanchen finally broke the silence and spoke in a hoarse voice: "I will tell Grandpa about the divorce in person, but you have to tell him first tonight."
His eyes revealed a complex emotion, helplessness, worry about his parents,
"Uncle Lin said that his heart has been feeling better recently, so we need to stimulate him first."
Shen Qingli looked at Zhou Yanchen with mixed feelings.
Her feelings for Grandpa Zhou were genuine and deep, just like her own grandfather, so she naturally hoped that the old man would not be harmed because of their affairs.
She took a deep breath and suppressed the turmoil in her heart, "Okay, I promise you, you can talk to Grandpa about the divorce."
She paused, a look of determination flashed in her eyes, "Yes, I will stay here tonight."
After saying that, she seemed to have used up all her strength, pushed Zhou Yanchen away, and walked towards the door.
In the living room, Mr. Zhou and Su Xinyao were sitting opposite each other playing chess.
Master Zhou's eyes were sharp. He could see that Su Xinyao was distracted and the chess pieces in her hand were placed in a disorderly manner.
He smiled slightly and said casually, "With Miss Su's fame, it might be too bad for her to be with Chen'er all the time."
His tone was calm, but it contained a kind of dignity that could not be underestimated. "Besides, Chen'er is already married now. No matter what your reasons are, you should know to avoid suspicion."
When Su Xinyao heard what Master Zhou said, she suddenly stopped moving the chess piece and felt panic in her heart.
But she quickly adjusted her expression and replied in a nonchalant manner: "Grandpa, you misunderstood me and Brother Chen. He and I are just good friends."
She tried to make her smile look more natural, but there was still a hint of perceptible nervousness in her eyes.
Grandpa Zhou looked at Su Xinyao, still with a faint smile on his face, "Really? I saw someone say on the Internet that there is no real friendship between men and women. Do you know if it's true?"
He paused and looked at Su Xinyao deeply, "Miss Su, what do you think?"
When Su Xinyao heard this, she cursed in her heart, thinking that this damn old man must have done it on purpose!
She felt as if she was being roasted on a fire, awkward and uncomfortable.
At this moment, she couldn't sit still any longer, and wished she could leave this place that made her feel so uncomfortable.
She tried hard to remain calm on the surface, but her heart was already in turmoil.
Just at this moment, Auntie Lan came over with a smile on her face and said softly, "Grandpa, dinner is ready."
Master Zhou nodded slightly and put down the chess piece in his hand. "Let's stop here for today."
As he spoke, he looked up and saw Shen Qingli and Zhou Yanchen walking down from the stairs one after the other.
The old man's eyes immediately showed kindness, and he asked with a smile: "Xiao Li, Chen'er, have you checked the room? Is there anything missing?"
Shen Qingli raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a sweet smile, "Grandpa, everything is not bad, the room is well decorated."
When Mr. Zhou heard this, a satisfied smile appeared on his face. He said with concern, "If you need anything, ask Auntie Lan. You two can come over and have dinner."
Su Xinyao, who was standing aside, watched this heartwarming scene with jealousy in her heart. She unconsciously clenched her fists at her sides, her nails almost digging into her palms.
She secretly swore that she would find a way to get them divorced as soon as possible. She wanted to replace Shen Qingli and become the daughter of this family, so that everything would revolve around her.
Several people walked towards the restaurant together. Su Xinyao stared at Zhou Yanchen's figure, thinking about sitting next to him.
However, when she was about to act, Master Zhou's stern eyes swept over her. She was suddenly frightened and her steps became hesitant. Finally, she had no choice but to sit opposite them.
Old Master Zhou sat in his seat, his eyes moving back and forth between Zhou Yanchen and Shen Qingli, his eyes full of satisfaction.
In his opinion, his grandson and granddaughter-in-law were a perfect match, like a match made in heaven, and the more he looked at them, the happier he felt.
Mr. Zhou picked up his chopsticks and said gently, "Let's eat."
Shen Qingli looked at the table full of delicious dishes, but she had no appetite at all.
These delicacies that she loved during the day, seemed like chewing wax to her at night.
However, she knew she could not show it, and she did not want to worry Mr. Zhou, so she tried hard to suppress her emotions, try to act more naturally, and eat more.
Old Master Zhou looked at Shen Qingli stuttering, his eyes full of satisfaction, and he couldn't help nodding.
When he turned his head, the old man saw Su Xinyao. She was picking things up from the plate with chopsticks in her hand, her movements were very slow and methodical, as if she was picking treasures.
The old man felt angry when he saw her like this, thinking she was too hypocritical.
"Chen'er, pick up a braised shrimp for Xiaoli. Xiaoli likes it." Grandpa Zhou suddenly said.
After hearing what his grandfather said, Zhou Yanchen hesitated for a moment, then picked up the chopsticks, picked up a plump shrimp and put it into Shen Qingli's bowl.
Shen Qingli said, "Thank you."
Seeing this, Su Xinyao immediately said in a sweet voice: "Brother Chen, I want to eat one."
She thought Zhou Yanchen would meet her request as usual, but before Zhou Yanchen could answer, Old Master Zhou frowned and said:
"The shrimp was so close to you, did you know how to grab it?"
As soon as these words came out, Su Xinyao's face turned red instantly, just like the color of shrimps burnt in oil. Embarrassment and shame surged in her heart, making her want to find a hole to crawl into.
The key is that this dining table belongs to Shen Qingli.
Su Xinyao finally understood that this old man had been targeting her on purpose.
Shen Qingli lowered her head. After hearing what her grandfather said, she really wanted to laugh out loud.
Seeing that she really liked eating shrimp, Zhou Yanchen stood up and replaced the shrimp with the dish in front of Shen Qingli that she had barely touched, "Eat more if you like it."
Shen Qingli thought that Zhou Yanchen might be more normal in his mind tomorrow.
