After Duan Ye finished his reflections and returned home from the airport, it was almost 10 p.m.
He sensed someone was home as soon as he entered, before he could even speak.
The old lady's voice rang out: "Ono's back?"
Duan Ye was taken aback, then quickly changed his shoes and went over: "Grandma?"
The old lady smiled and pulled him to sit on the sofa in the living room.
Duan Ye: "Grandma, when did you arrive? Have you eaten yet? Qingyuan is working overtime today and might be back a little late. How about I take you out to eat now?"
The old lady was very happy to see how much Duan Ye cared for her as soon as he arrived.
The more she looked at him, the more she felt that Duan Ye was a good match for her, mainly because he was genuine.
As for Jiang Jingchuan, although he appeared gentle on the surface, his fake smile was too creepy, and she disliked such hypocritical people.
So the old lady smiled kindly and said, "I've already eaten, so don't bother."
As she spoke, the old lady pointed to the things on the coffee table: "You've come back so late, you probably haven't eaten anything yet. This is what Grandma brought for you and Qingyuan. She hasn't come back yet, so eat something first."
Duan Ye then took a closer look at the bags on the coffee table, which were filled with delicate side dishes.
Duan Ye smiled and said, "Grandma, I've already eaten."
The old lady smiled and patted his shoulder: "Then you can keep it in the freezer and take it to the company to eat tomorrow, it's the same thing."
As she spoke, the old lady stood up: "Grandma is tired, so I'll go and rest first."
Duan Ye also stood up: "Grandma, let me tidy up your room."
The old lady said, "It's all packed up. Grandma can go and rest now. You should go and wash up."
As they were talking, the old lady had already quickly returned to her room.
So Duan Ye had no choice but to turn back, tidy up the things on the table and put them in the refrigerator, and then go to the bathroom to take a shower.
At this moment, raindrops began to fall from the sky.
It's 11 p.m.
Chen Yuan drove her car discreetly and parked it in front of the gate behind the courtyard house.
After Luo Shuyang fell asleep, Chen Manhua, holding an umbrella, came to the study alone with a food box.
Bodyguard: "Madam, you cannot go in without the boss's orders. Just leave the food here, and I will take it in to Miss."
Chen Manhua glanced at the two guys indifferently. They were both big and burly, obviously skilled in martial arts. They didn't seem tired guarding this place.
Chen Manhua looked away and put down the food: "This is for you. Shuyang said you've worked hard and brought you some late-night snacks. I had nothing else to do, so I came myself."
The bodyguards exchanged a glance before lowering their guard.
"Thank you, sir, madam."
Chen Manhua gave a soft "hmm" and then said, "If Miss gets sick or cold, come and let me know right away. Don't be silly. Your boss just wants to teach her a lesson, not kill her."
Bodyguard: "Don't worry, Madam, we know what we're doing."
After saying that, Chen Manhua left.
However, he didn't go far. Instead, he stood not far away, in the bodyguard's blind spot, quietly watching while holding an umbrella.
"Do you think the food that Madam sent is edible?"
Another person said, "Tsk, this was sent by the madam. It's not like it could poison you."
"That's true."
"You've been standing all day, you're exhausted. You should eat something to replenish your energy."
"I think you've had too many good days following the boss. When we were risking our lives abroad, you never complained about being tired."
"Bro, just tell me if you're going to eat it or not? Stop with the nonsense..."
"eat!"
So Chen Manhua saw the two of them sitting casually on the ground and starting to enjoy the food she had brought.
Actually, what those two said was right. Of course, she wouldn't poison them, but it wouldn't be a problem to give them a little bit of a sleeping potion.
At 11:30 p.m., the two of them fell asleep at the door.
Chen Manhua then snapped her fingers, and four men in suits ran out and walked towards the two unconscious men.
The area in front of the door was quickly cleaned up.
Those two people will be properly taken care of by the old lady's people.
Chen Manhua then took the key, walked over, and opened the door.
Luo Qingyuan was already dressed and waiting. As soon as the door opened, they were face to face.
Chen Manhua chuckled and teased her, "So eager, huh?"
Luo Qingyuan smiled and went straight over to hug Chen Manhua: "Thank you, sister-in-law."
Chen Manhua patted her on the back: "Hurry up and go, Yuanyuan is waiting for you at the back door."
Luo Qingyuan quickly released Chen Manhua, took out a heavy gold lock from her bag, and stuffed it into Chen Manhua's hand.
"For my little niece."
Chen Manhua smiled gently: "Then I'll thank you in advance on behalf of Manman."
Luo Qingyuan: "I'm leaving. I'll come back to see Manman after my brother's anger subsides."
Before leaving, Luo Qingyuan turned back to look at Chen Manhua one last time: "Sister-in-law, are you alright...?"
Chen Manhua: "Your brother wouldn't do anything to me over something like this. Hurry up and leave, and live a good life with Xiaoye."
So, Luo Qingyuan nodded, resolutely picked up her bag, and left.
Chen Manhua was about to call out to her and give the umbrella in her hand to Luo Qingyuan, but Luo Qingyuan had already run far away.
Chen Manhua could only smile helplessly, wrap her coat tighter around herself, and go back.
Seeing Luo Qingyuan running towards another person so resolutely, Chen Manhua felt it was quite meaningful.
After all, she had known Luo Qingyuan for so many years, and this was the first time she had seen Luo Qingyuan like someone so much.
A black car had been parked at the back door for a long time.
Chen Yuan kept checking the time, extremely anxious, and kept muttering to herself.
"Why aren't they here yet? It's been so long!"
Just as Chen Yuan was repeating it for the umpteenth time, Luo Qingyuan ran out, opened the car door, and sat in the passenger seat.
Before Luo Qingyuan could even fasten her seatbelt, Chen Yuan stepped on the gas and sped away, tossing Luo Qingyuan a towel: "Hurry up and wipe yourself off."
Luo Qingyuan quickly fastened her seatbelt before hurriedly drying her hair.
Chen Yuan was still complaining with a look of disgust on her face.
"I don't know what you're thinking. Aren't you comfortable being waited on? Why do you have to go back to that small place?"
"And what's so great about Duan Ye? Why would you disobey your brother?"
Luo Qingyuan said calmly, "If you knew what was so good about him, I wouldn't be the one rebelling against my family."
Chen Yuan was momentarily speechless, then said directly, "Come on, there are so many handsome men in the entertainment industry, why would I be interested in Duan Ye?"
Luo Qingyuan sighed. She knew that Chen Yuan was all bark and no bite, otherwise she wouldn't have been the one to pick her up today.
Luo Qingyuan: "Yuanyuan, what I want is to live a peaceful and stable life."
Chen Yuan: "You really look down on your arranged marriage partner that much? Wouldn't you be able to live a good life if you married him?"
