Huo Junyang said, "She was discharged from the hospital the day before yesterday, and her mental state has improved a lot, but strangely, her attitude towards Ranran has changed. When Ranran went to help her, she shook Ranran off."
"After returning home, Ranran wanted to help her pack her things and try to get closer to her, but she coldly refused, as if she didn't want Ranran in front of her at all... In short, she was not like the Ranran's mother she used to be."
Huo Junyu and Jiang Mianmian exchanged a glance and frowned.
They had met Ranran's mother a few times before. Although she was ill, she was clearly a kind-hearted and gentle woman.
It's certainly unusual for it to suddenly become so cold.
"You don't know, she even made Ranran cry yesterday," Huo Junyang said softly. "Ranran cooked for her herself, and she got angry just because the food was a little bland. But... she's always had a very bland palate, and besides, how can someone with kidney disease eat strong flavors?"
"In short, I just can't understand it. Today I tried to persuade Ranran to come with me, but that girl is so stubborn; she insisted on staying with her mother to take care of her..."
"Don't worry," Jiang Mianmian gently comforted her. "People's mindset might change after being sick repeatedly. Especially since she went through such a major operation, which was like walking through the gates of hell, it would be illogical for her to maintain a calm attitude."
“Yes, Mianmian is right,” Huo Junyu said. “Don’t worry too much about it. After all, she is Ranran’s mother and needs us to take good care of her.”
Huo Junyang nodded, quickly regained his composure, and continued to enjoy his afternoon tea.
Huo Junyu squinted, gazing thoughtfully at the distant sea, his eyes gradually darkening.

Several of Lu's real estate projects have commenced construction.
Mr. Sam was once again the lead designer, and Jiang Mianmian collaborated with him. With Mr. Sam's strong support, the early publicity and promotion of the property project were very effective.
During this period, Jiang Mianmian also devoted herself wholeheartedly, even living and eating in the drafting room, and learning from several experienced senior engineers.
This was tough on Huo Junyu, who was left alone in his room all day, and developed a lot of pimples on both sides of his nose from the stress.
Whenever he was unhappy, he would run to his wife's parents' home every day—Jiang Mianmian's family home.
So at the Lu family home, Lu Lishan and Lin Yuqing's conversation turned into this:
On Huo Junyu's first day, he exclaimed, "Junyu, you're here!"
On the fifth day after Huo Junyu arrived, someone asked, "Junyu, why are you here again?"
On the tenth day after Huo Junyu arrived, "Junyu, it's still you?!"
On the fifteenth day of Huo Junyu's arrival, "Junyu, you're not planning to move back in with Xiaoyouzi, are you? Huh? Why have I only seen you come back, but not my daughter?"
That day, Huo Junyu came to the Lu family again and unexpectedly ran into Huo Jingnan.
At that time, Huo Junyu was in a hurry to make the new products of Minghuang Shijia Hotel for Lu Lishan and Lin Yuqing to try (of course, he forgot for a moment the gap between himself and a Michelin chef). As soon as he entered the door, he rushed to the kitchen. However, when he looked up, he actually ran into Huo Jingnan!
Huo Jingnan, wearing an apron, walked out from the smoke of cooking. His eyes widened when he saw Huo Junyu.
"Junyu, you..."
"What's wrong with me?" Huo Junyu said, picking up another apron and putting it on, starting his kitchen battle.
Huo Jingnan was holding a plate of potato shreds cut into various lengths and thicknesses. He laughed and said, "I thought you were kicked out by Jiang Mianmian during your honeymoon!"
Huo Junyu's face darkened, and he felt like hitting someone.
The two men busied themselves in the kitchen for a while, making a racket, when Pei Nian suddenly walked in. Seeing the kitchen turned into a battlefield by the two men, her face instantly darkened, and her sharp gaze swept over their faces.
As for the two men, they were always the ones who intimidated others with their aura, but this time they were actually intimidated by a little girl.
"You two, clean this up!" Pei Nian's voice was powerful and resonant. "If you don't clean it up properly, you won't get dinner tonight!"
After saying that, she turned and left.
Huo Jingnan was a little stunned, while Huo Junyu calmly took out his phone, his angular face still bearing that confident smile.
"I'm not packing anymore, I'm going back to be with Mianmian..."
However, before he could finish speaking, Jiang Mianmian called: "Honey, I'm working overtime tonight, so make sure you eat well too!"
Huo Junyu was dumbfounded.
I never expected that not only would I not be able to hug my wife tonight, but I'd also have to help Huo Jingnan clean the kitchen!
"What sins have I committed!" he whispered, gritting his teeth.
Huo Jingnan gloated, handed him the shredded potatoes, and patted him on the shoulder, "Young Master, you've worked hard!"
“I’m telling you,” Huo Junyu looked at him, “when are you finally going to take this girl in?”
"Huh?" Huo Jingnan's ears suddenly turned red. "You... what are you saying!"
Huo Junyu smirked, "I said, aren't you a sniper? Aren't you capable of killing with a single shot?"
"So, when are you going to shoot this girl?"
Huo Jingnan took a while to react, looked at him as if he were an alien, and then bluntly said:
"She didn't break the law, why would I shoot her? Our mission as snipers is to protect the lives and property of the people in critical moments. We can't abuse our power, and we certainly can't just pull out our guns..."
Huo Junyu rolled his eyes at him. How come he can't even understand what he's saying? He said "killed with one shot," but he didn't really mean it!
