Chapter 270 You Are Here
Jiang Yichen's voice came from the side, interrupting my thoughts: "What are you thinking about?"
I looked up and saw a trace of concern in his eyes. I smiled and handed him the phone. "Xiao Tiantian reminded me to bring some nourishing food for grandma and recommended bird's nest. She is always so thoughtful."
Jiang Yichen took the phone, glanced at the conversation on the screen, and raised his lips slightly: "She is indeed very considerate. However, although bird's nest is good, grandma's appetite has not been very good recently, so it may not be suitable. We can bring some ginseng or wolfberry and put a little in the soup when cooking. It is nourishing and not too greasy."
I nodded, my eyes full of approval. "You're right. Grandma hasn't been eating much lately. She needs to choose something that's easy to digest. Ginseng and wolfberry soup sounds good. I'll ask Xiao Tiantian if she has any other recommendations."
I quickly typed on my phone: "Tiantian, how about ginseng and wolfberry soup? Grandma's appetite has not been very good recently, so bird's nest may not be suitable for her."
As soon as the message was sent, Xiao Tiantian replied almost immediately: "Ginseng and wolfberry soup is great! My mother has drunk it before and it worked well. But remember not to put too much ginseng, as it can easily cause internal heat. By the way, if grandma likes sweet soup, you can try Tremella and Lotus Seed Soup, which is both nourishing and light."
I looked at the suggestions on the screen and felt touched.
Xiao Tiantian is always like this. She not only cares about my work, but also always thinks about her family.
"Okay, I'll listen to you. I'll also prepare a portion of Tremella and Lotus Seed Soup. Thank you, Tiantian."
I read this message and a warm feeling surged in my heart. Although the studio was closed, everyone's fighting spirit was not dampened.
The reply was: "Okay, wait until I get back and we can solve the problem together."
Putting down the phone, I turned to look at Jiang Yichen and said softly, "Xiao Tiantian suggested that we prepare ginseng wolfberry soup and white fungus lotus seed soup. What do you think?"
Jiang Yichen nodded: "Very good, grandma will probably like it. Let's go shopping early tomorrow morning and buy some of her favorite snacks."
I smiled, my eyes softened: "Okay, let's do this."
"Grandma will be very happy to have you by her side."
A warm feeling welled up in my heart.
"Grandma loves you the most," I whispered, "Every time she sees you, she smiles like a little child."
Jiang Yichen smiled, with a hint of teasing in his tone: "That's not necessarily true. She likes you more and more now. Maybe I will have to stand aside."
I was amused by him and gently pushed him: "Stop joking, let's get ready quickly and don't let grandma wait anxiously."
Suddenly, grandma felt unwell, so Jiang Yichen called an ambulance. After the doctor examined her, he said she was just too tired recently. Jiang Yichen and I let grandma rest in the hospital.
The next day was the time to meet Lin Shu, but the location had changed.
Early in the morning, a black car drove smoothly on the road, and the atmosphere inside the car was quiet and warm. Lin Shu had asked me to meet before, but later changed the address to the riverside. Jiang Yichen was worried and insisted on accompanying me. He drove the car attentively, holding the steering wheel steadily with both hands, and his eyes occasionally glanced at the road conditions outside the car, with a serious and calm expression. I sat in the passenger seat, watching the scenery passing by quickly outside the window, and occasionally turned my head to look at him, with trust in my eyes.
He seemed to notice my gaze, turned his head slightly and gave me a gentle smile in return.
I whispered, "Thank you for coming with me."
"Your business is my business. Besides, Lin Shu suddenly changed her address. I always feel something is wrong. Don't worry, I'm here."
I nodded, feeling more at ease. Although Lin Shu was my grandmother's friend, her behavior was indeed a little unusual, especially the temporary change of address to such a remote place by the river, which made me have to be vigilant. "
At this moment, the phone vibrated. It was a message from Xu Sisi: "I'm already at the riverside. I'm looking for a suitable location nearby to wait."
I quickly responded: “OK, stay safe and keep in touch.”
Xu Sisi replied almost immediately: "Don't worry, Sister Mo, I will always keep an eye on it."
Putting down the phone, I turned to look at Jiang Yichen and said softly, "Sisi has arrived and is on standby nearby."
He nodded, his eyes still focused on the front: "With her here, I feel more at ease. However, we still have to be careful when we meet Lin Shu later."
I responded softly, "I know. Although Lin Shu is grandma's friend, her behavior this time is indeed a little strange. I will keep an eye on it."
He turned his head to look at me with a hint of approval in his eyes: "You are always calm, I believe you can handle it. However, if there is anything wrong, you must tell me immediately."
I smiled and said, "Okay, I will."
The car was quiet again, with only the low roar of the engine and the occasional sound of wind coming from outside the window.
I leaned back in my chair, my eyes fixed on the distant skyline, but I felt a little uneasy. What exactly did Lin Shu want to do? Why did she suddenly change her address to the riverside? These questions swirled in my mind, but I couldn't find the answers.
At this moment, Jiang Yichen's phone suddenly rang. He glanced at the screen, frowned slightly, and then answered the call: "Hello, it's me... What? Are you sure? Okay, I got it."
He hung up the phone and his expression became serious.
I couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"
He hugged me and said in a low voice, "I just received news that Lin Shu has been in frequent contact with several unidentified people recently, and her background is a bit complicated. We have to be more careful."
"It seems that this meeting is not that simple. However, since we are already here, we can't back down."
He said in a doting tone: "Yes, wife, you are getting better and better."
I looked at him and felt a surge of strength in my heart. No matter what challenges lay ahead, as long as he was by my side, I would be fearless.
The car slowly drove into the parking lot by the river. In the distance was a wide river view, with the afterglow of the setting sun shining on the river, making the waves sparkle. I opened the car door, and Jiang Yichen followed closely behind me, standing beside me, looking around vigilantly.
"Let's go," he said softly.
I walked forward side by side with him. The river breeze brushed my cheeks, bringing a hint of coolness, but my palms were as warm as ever because of his presence.
We walked slowly along the path by the river. Jiang Yichen held my hand tightly, as if he was afraid that I would disappear suddenly. His palm was warm and strong, giving me an endless sense of security. I couldn't help but look up at him and found that his eyes were always vigilantly scanning the surroundings, with a focused and serious expression.
"Are you nervous?" I asked softly.
He looked down at me, the corners of his mouth slightly raised: "I'm not nervous when you're here."
