Bai Wan'er felt strange and subconsciously asked, "Grandpa, are you looking for someone?"
The old man immediately withdrew his thoughtful expression and shook his head helplessly: "It's nothing."
The old man liked the little baby more and more as he looked at him.
He reached out and gently took An'an's hand: "This child is so lovable."
Bai Wan'er smiled indulgently and said softly, "Thank you."
Where is the child's father?
An'an tilted her head to look at Bai Wan'er. After a moment of contemplation, Bai Wan'er said helplessly, "The child's father passed away a few years ago, and now it's just the two of us, mother and daughter."
"What a pity." The old man sighed gently, turning his gaze to An'an once again.
This face bears a striking resemblance to Bai Wan'er in terms of eyebrows and eyes, but its contours and expression bear a resemblance to her own grandson.
The woman in front of me looks exactly like Song Mai. What a coincidence!
After a brief chat, Bai Wan'er left with An'an.
The old man watched them leave, the smile on his face slowly fading.
He calmly took out his phone and instructed, "Now investigate someone for me."
That evening, when Chu Yunxing returned home, he saw the old man sitting on the sofa with a serious expression. Chu Mingqian lowered his head and remained silent, but gave Chu Yunxing a reproachful look the moment he entered.
"What have you been doing these past few days that has made your grandfather so angry?"
Without saying a word, he launched into a tirade of scolding, and Chu Yunxing hesitated to speak.
She turned and sat down next to Grandpa Chu, asking softly, "Grandpa, what's wrong?"
"I saw a woman today who looked remarkably like Mai Zi."
This single sentence left Chu Yunxing speechless.
He sighed helplessly and remained silent.
The grandfather and grandson sat quietly on the sofa, pondering the recent events that had transpired.
Song Mai's departure was a heavy blow to Chu Yunxing and the old man. To them, Song Mai had long been a family member.
Thinking about this, the two of them couldn't help but sigh.
Chu Mingqian frowned, breaking the silence: "Since it's all in the past, there's no need to dwell on it. It's time to eat, everyone."
He stepped forward to help Old Master Chu up and led the way to the restaurant.
Liu Jia'er chatted gently with Qin Jizhi, and her smile became even brighter the moment she saw Chu Yunxing appear.
Qin Jizhi, who was standing to the side, saw this and chuckled, teasing, "Why didn't you seem this happy when we were chatting just now?"
Qin Jizhi pretended to be shy and turned his head away, secretly observing Chu Yunxing's appearance.
He remained completely unfazed, as if he hadn't heard their conversation at all.
The atmosphere at the dinner table was harmonious, except for Chu Yunxing and Old Master Chu, who remained silent.
Liu Jia'er noticed this and cautiously probed, "Ah Xing, are you still unhappy because of Xingchen?"
"What's wrong with Xingchen?" Chu Mingqian asked curiously.
Liu Jia'er covered her mouth with her hand, pretending to be surprised: "So Uncle and Aunt don't know that A-Xing and Xing-Chen have already broken up."
"What a pity."
The end of their relationship was nothing more than a pity in the eyes of the Chu family.
After all, in everyone's eyes, it was a foregone conclusion that Liu Jia'er would eventually become the daughter-in-law of the Chu family.
“Ah Xing and Xing Chen have been together for so long, I was quite shocked when I heard about this. But relationships are not something outsiders can judge. Since Ah Xing is so happy, we naturally can’t say anything.” Liu Jia’er looked obedient and sensible.
Qin Jizhi asked with a surprised look, "Ah Xing is very happy?"
Just as Liu Jiaer was about to continue fanning the flames, she saw Chu Yunxing casually place his chopsticks on the table.
Then I heard him say in a low voice, "It's done."
No one dared to speak further, except for Old Master Chu, who remained calm and composed.
After dinner, the grandfather and grandson went to the rooftop again for a heart-to-heart talk.
"You probably know the girl I'm talking about."
Chu Yunxing took out a cigarette, lit it, and looked into the distance: "Her name is Bai Wan'er, and she is a designer. I have investigated her background, and there are absolutely no problems."
"So it really is a coincidence," Old Master Chu muttered to himself in disappointment.
Although he was already old and never believed in ghosts or gods, he couldn't help but feel regretful about Song Mai's situation.
Like Chu Yunxing, he was a materialist. Ever since Song Mai's accident, the two of them began to pray that Song Mai would return safely one day.
“Her child is adorable and looks just like her. Over the years, you’ve been searching for a face that resembles Mai Zi. As long as things don’t escalate, I can turn a blind eye to what you’ve done outside.”
The old man paused, stood up, and warned, "But Bai Wan'er is different. She already has a child. Whatever you do, you should be responsible for the child."
Chu Yunxing had a terrible headache and said in a low voice, "Grandpa, you don't need to worry about me."
Grandpa Chu knew his grandson was sensible, but he couldn't help but worry.
Just as Chu Yunxing was about to leave, Liu Jia'er cautiously approached him and whispered, "Ah Xing, I didn't drive today, could you take me home?"
With so many people in front of him, he naturally couldn't refuse.
With his parents strongly urging them to get together, Chu Yunxing had no choice but to nod in agreement.
On the way back, a car suddenly rear-ended us.
Liu Jia'er screamed instinctively inside the car, then angrily pushed open the door and got out, banging on the rear window.
How do you drive?
Relying on Chu Yunxing's presence, Liu Jia'er was not afraid at all.
The car window was slowly rolled down, and Bai Wan'er's guilty face appeared in front of the two of them.
"I'm so sorry, my car seems to have broken down."
Liu Jia'er was taken aback and subconsciously looked at the car where Chu Yunxing was.
Seeing that he was about to open the car door and walk towards the two of them, Liu Jia'er hurriedly said, "In that case, you should leave quickly, don't scare the child."
She didn't want the two of them to meet and urged Bai Wan'er to leave anxiously.
The rear car was at fault for the collision. Bai Wan'er said apologetically, "I'm really sorry, but I will give you whatever compensation you ask for."
"No."
Chu Yunxing's voice came from behind. He looked Bai Wan'er up and down, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that she was unharmed.
"It's good that everyone is alright; the car was going to be repaired anyway."
"I never expected it to be such a coincidence," Bai Wan'er couldn't help but exclaim.
Seeing the intimate scene between Liu Jia'er and Chu Yunxing, he already understood.
