"Thank you, Mr. Ryan." Gu Shengsheng really felt good about it. It was very practical and it was made with great care.
Lu Shijing's ears turned red. He looked at the time and found that half a day had passed.
"I'm leaving first?"
"I worked so hard to make this cake, why don't you have a piece first!"
As he spoke, Gu Shengsheng was about to cut him a piece, but Lu Shijing took the knife away and said, "You have to blow out the candle first."
"A birthday comes once a year, so there should always be some sense of ceremony."
Gu Shengsheng didn't care and said with a smile: "It's good enough to have someone celebrate my birthday. It's enough to have a sense of ceremony in my heart."
Lu Shijing paused, feeling a little sorry for her, but he didn't show it.
He just stood up and put a candle in her hand, then said, "Make a wish."
"good."
She closed her eyes, then blew out the candles, leaving the first piece of cake for herself.
Lu Shijing cut a new piece and ate it before leaving.
After he returned to next door, Lin Kai allowed him to bring grandma and Linlin back.
When they got back, the grandparents felt a little guilty. They had originally gone out to buy ingredients that day, but ended up trying to make longevity noodles at a hotel outside, but it wasn't very successful...
This time, I don’t know if Shengsheng will be disappointed.
As soon as the door opened, grandma placed the prepared longevity noodles in front of Gu Shengsheng: "Grandma's cooking skills are not good. It was always the old man who cooked before."
“I made this.”
Lu Linlin also put a small bowl aside: "Sister-in-law, this is what I made."
"Happy birthday! May you be happy every year from now on. May our family be healthy and stay together forever."
"Okay." Her eyes felt wet.
He lowered his head and tasted a mouthful of the longevity noodles made by his grandmother, then smiled and said, "It's too salty."
“But it’s delicious.”
I started crying while eating, but luckily I lowered my head to control my emotions, so grandma and Linlin couldn't notice.
How could I not see it? But my grandma felt sorry for her.
Didn't say anything, even pretended not to know.
Linlin looked at the cake and smiled, "I was going to make it for my sister-in-law myself. Did you make the cake yourself?"
He quickly stuck to her and hugged Gu Shengsheng: "Sister-in-law...you must be very lonely today, right?"
"No, the gentleman next door came over to help me make it, and he even tasted a piece."
"Now they're gone."
The old lady nodded and said, "That's good, that's good."
There was no further questioning, as the old lady didn't want to ask any more questions now.
That night, she saw someone who looked exactly like Lu Shijing in the middle of the night. She was not a silly old woman, she had already investigated it.
It was found that there were no suspicious people, and even the surveillance footage was missing.
If it were a ghost, this wouldn't be possible.
She felt something was wrong at the time. When she was young, she had at least worked in the intelligence field.
I immediately contacted some old acquaintances to help me check.
Who knew that we actually found that guy, who looked exactly like our grandson, but changed his name to Ryan.
Interestingly, I live right across from them.
How could this old lady not be suspicious?
She felt that Lin Kai had been taking them around all day today, and she was cunning enough to see Lin Kai's chat history.
Wasn't it just a man who told him to do that?
Then I talked to that idiot Lin Kai for a few more words, and everything became clear.
Who else would be like this except her gloomy grandson?
It seems this grandson has his own plans. Has he already chosen his own daughter-in-law? Is he planning to pursue her himself?
The old lady saw through everything, but she said nothing. It was best to let things develop naturally.
This guy is really alive and well, and now he wants to bring down the Lu Group? He has endless energy.
He didn't even bother to report home that he was safe. This bastard is too arrogant.
She didn't want to help him chase his wife.
Anyway... the old lady is angry now. No matter now or in the future, she is on the side of her granddaughter-in-law.
Then, the old lady said, "Shengsheng, the person who lives next door to you may not be a good kid. You should be more careful and avoid spending time with them."
"It would be bad if it was a bad guy."
Lu Linlin knew nothing and just agreed foolishly. "That's right."
"I guess he's not as sweet as those little boys in the club."
The old lady glared at her and said, "You should go to clubs less often. You've lost your mind. You were almost cheated by a poor boy before. Many people are more cunning now. People like you don't even know that you were tricked into giving birth to a child."
Lu Linlin was dejected: "Grandma, please don't criticize me for this kind of thing!"
Then he looked at Gu Shengsheng expectantly: "Sister-in-law, where are you going to live stream tomorrow? A lot of people want to watch your live stream."
"I want to be your fangirl and take beautiful photos of you."
Before Gu Shengsheng could say anything, her grandmother refused: "No, I haven't even been there yet, you can't go. It's really boring. Come with me to the courtyard to renovate the house."
"I'm going to check out the used book stalls tomorrow. There are too many people around Panjiayuan and other places I've been to lately."
She mainly wanted to take a look at the system's treasure appraisal function and the book's attribute panel. Why was it divided so finely?
According to the system, the rewards provided by the upgrade are what she needs in the near future.
Now that she has the book attribute panel, does it also prove that she will be able to pick up ancient books in the near future?
So, Gu Shengsheng wanted to try her luck. She had thought about it during the treasure appraisal competition.
Grandma nodded: "Then go ahead, I'll keep an eye on the house tomorrow."
"Chaoyang has been struggling lately, so he probably won't come after you. If he does, just call me and I'll take advantage of my seniority."
Grandma has her own way of dealing with each of these younger generations.
No matter how much of a bastard Lu Chaoyang was, he still treated his grandmother with respect.
——
The next morning, Gu Shengsheng went straight to the second-hand book market.
In an inconspicuous street, the ground is covered with various book stalls, and the more advanced ones are book kiosks.
It was netizens who recommended Gu Shengsheng here.
They said they buy comic books here.
Gu Shengsheng was indeed shocked when she arrived. Most of the books were five for ten yuan, or a few yuan each.
Most of the book buyers are primary school students wearing school uniforms and carrying small backpacks.
As an adult, Gu Shengsheng looked out of place standing there.
She asked the livestreamer, "Is this the one you recommended?"
Netizens began to reminisce about the past:
"Yeah, I bought all the comics, picture books, and H-books I read when I was in school here. I didn't expect this street to still exist."
"Yeah, almost all of them are pirated books. Host, don't underestimate this place. We have all kinds of books here, I guarantee it!"
"Yeah, that's where I developed my love-brain. I watched that young mistress run away 99 times and it made me cry. I also saw stories about their daughter and son... so many stories."
"Aba, Aba, I've developed a love brain."
"What book do you want to buy?"
“…”
