"I didn't expect Sister Piaopiao to be here too. I can't let Sister Piaopiao make tea for me. This is unacceptable. Sect Leader Liu, please take a seat first. I'll go and report in."
Sect Leader Liu was very pleased with Su Ran's filial piety.
In the kitchen.
Liu Piaopiao, wearing an apron, black tight jeans, a trendy sweatshirt, and a ponytail, looks very young, but lacks her former vitality. Instead, she stares at somewhere in a daze, scooping tea leaves into the teacup one spoonful at a time. It is unknown what she is thinking, but judging from her expression, she seems to be thinking about something unhappy. Sometimes she lowers her head and sighs, and sometimes sucks her nose in grievance, which is very pitiful.
"Sister Piaopiao." Su Ran walked up to her and waved her hand. Liu Piaopiao said "oh", came to her senses, and replied "You're here". She didn't react at all, just put down the spoon, picked up the kettle and added tea.
Well……
Su Ran looked at the full cup of water filled with tea leaves. She thought it would be extremely bitter if she took a sip. Su Ran reminded her that the water was overflowing, and she stopped. She was completely out of state.
"Drink it, I'm tired."
She took off her apron, left the kitchen and went to the bedroom. It was the first time that Su Ran saw the usually energetic Sister Piaopiao like this. She returned to the courtyard with tea and sat down. Su Ran asked Liu Buqun what was going on. Only then did she know that Liu Piaopiao had come here again because she had quarreled with Shan Zhentian out of anger. However, this time it was a little more serious. Shan Zhentian had gone to Xi'an to participate in a calligraphy and painting event a few days ago. He drank too much at the dinner party in the evening and didn't answer Liu Piaopiao's call. When he called the next morning, a woman answered the phone. This was fatal.
Shan Zhentian rushed home that day and explained to Liu Piaopiao that he had left his phone at the restaurant while drunk, and that the person who answered the phone was the female manager of the hotel the next morning. "It's not what you think. You still don't believe me, Shan Zhentian?" No matter how he explained, the more he explained, the more confusing it became. There was no explanation at all.
Shan Weizi and the old man beside her were both half-believing and half-doubting. It couldn't be such a coincidence, right? But they were comforting Liu Piaopiao. Liu Piaopiao was angry and went back to Lingjian Mountain directly. She should calm down alone. Shan Zhentian didn't dare to offend her at this time. It would definitely bring bad luck and even break up their relationship. So he had to wait until she was in a better mood before explaining it clearly. During this period, it was Shan Weizi who called to comfort Liu Piaopiao. However, Liu Piaopiao was stubborn and said that Shan Weizi and his father were the same. After a few calls, he simply blocked Shan Weizi.
This was a private family matter, so Shan Weizi naturally didn't tell Su Ran.
Su Ran only found out about this when he came here today?
How outrageous!
My sister Piaopiao is so beautiful and knows how to act cute, isn’t she great?
"This matter is indeed quite tricky. It involves a crisis of trust between husband and wife. Hmm..." Su Ran thought for a moment and said, "Honestly, from a neutral perspective, I think Uncle Shan really didn't do a good enough job. He knew his wife was worried about him at home because he was away on a business trip, but he still drank himself to the point of not answering the phone. She was worried all night, and when she called the next morning, it was a woman who answered. If your husband called like this and a man answered the next day, he would be furious and wouldn't believe any explanation he gave."

"Su Ran, your sister Piaopiao loves you for a long time."
Regardless of right or wrong, Liu Buqun stood on his daughter's side. After hearing Su Ran say this, his favorability towards her increased a lot.
"Sister Piaopiao is really good to me, and I'm not deliberately speaking in her favor. I'm just stating a fact. Um... at the moment, no one knows the truth about 'whether Uncle Shan is okay'. It's not a question of whether we believe him or not. It's useless for us to believe him. The problem is whether Sister Piaopiao believes him."
"Yes, it only works if Piaopiao believes in it..." The old man paused and said, "Actually, Zhentian is a good person, but he takes his career too seriously. He leaves home early and comes back late every day busy with his work. He only gets a chance to spend time with Piaopiao when he gets home before dinner each night. You can't have your cake and eat it too. You have to take care of both your family and your career, and one always has to be prioritized. Are you that kind of person?"
The old man asked Su Ran in return. He was naturally worried that after graduation, Su Ran would be busy with her career all day and neglect her granddaughter.
"I'm a family man. I don't take my career too seriously. As long as I have enough, it's enough. Spending more time with the people around me is the most important thing."
As for the super rich, what career is there to talk about? Enjoying life without working is his career. If the system gives you money to spend, but you still work hard to build a career, you will really be sorry for the super rich system.
"Life is all about enjoying life. I like to enjoy a carefree life. As long as I have enough money to support my wife and children, that's enough. As for becoming a prestigious and influential person, I don't care. As long as I have a wife and children and a warm bed, that's enough."
There are just a few too many kangs, but there should be enough wives.
"That's right." The old man liked people who didn't take their careers too seriously. Of course, the premise was that he knew Su Ran was already very rich. "Okay, let's not talk about her anymore. She will naturally stop being angry in a few days. Piaopiao went on strike at noon today, so I will personally prepare a few dishes to treat you. I picked some matsutake mushrooms in the mountains this morning, and I will make you a plate of stir-fried matsutake mushrooms with meat later."
"Stir-fried pork with matsutake mushrooms? That's too extravagant."
"What's so luxurious about it? There are plenty of them in the mountains. To the people in the city, these are some top-notch ingredients, but to us in Lingjian Mountain, they are just side dishes."
"Okay then, I'll go help you."
"No, no, go and comfort Piaopiao."
"I'm not going."
Su Ran said stubbornly, Liu Buqun smiled, "What's wrong? Piaopiao is so worried about you, and now she needs comfort. You are so good at counseling people, but you are not happy to counsel her."
