Chapter 485 I like my granddaughter, it must be my granddaughter.
Hello, Uncle and Auntie!
Faced with You Xueer's sweet greeting, Shang Hechuan was only focused on peeling an apple for his wife and had no time to pay attention to anything else.
"Hello."
Zhong Man forced a smile and responded politely.
Having been a director for so long, I've seen all sorts of monsters and demons in the entertainment industry.
You can discern someone's hidden thoughts just by looking at them.
The person in front of me—
His intentions are not entirely pure.
"Aunt Zhong Man, I heard you like chocolate." You Xue'er took out a carefully packaged box, her voice soft and sweet: "This brand of chocolate is very famous. I asked someone to buy three boxes for me. I hope you like them."
"..."
Zhong Man glanced at it and confirmed that it was indeed a brand she liked.
Personalized customization.
It is expensive and scarce.
You have to make a reservation well in advance each time, and it takes a lot of effort to get a table.
only--
The wrapper of this chocolate looks a bit out of place.
It doesn't look like the color of the food she ate before.
Thank you.
Zhong Man paused for two seconds, a slightly awkward yet polite smile curving her lips, but she did not expose him.
Seeing Zhong Man smile at her, You Xueer felt overjoyed.
Among all the socialites and heiresses, Aunt Zhong Man only smiled at her.
She must like me a lot too.
"Aunt Zhong Man..."
Just as You Xueer was about to take a step forward and get closer to Zhong Man,
The butler suddenly leaned close to Zhong Man's ear, lowered his voice, and respectfully reminded her:
"Madam, the eldest young master has returned."
Has Shang Shiyan returned?
Upon hearing this, You Xueer's pupils suddenly contracted, and her heart surged with excitement.
She has been studying abroad for the past few years and hasn't seen him for a long time.
He should still remember himself, right?
after all--
They saw each other often when they were little; they were childhood sweethearts.
"Where's Wuwu? Is she here too?"
Zhong Man stood up excitedly, looking outside with a big smile on her face.
"They're here."
The butler smiled and replied, "Miss Pei has also arrived."
"I'll go take a look."
Zhong Man smiled and couldn't wait to walk out.
"Aunt Zhong Man..."
Yu Xueer stood there holding the chocolate, watching helplessly as her future mother-in-law left.
Pei Jinwu?
That orphan girl who had no parents and was only pretty?
She wanted to see just how special it was.
...
Pei Jinwu is here?
The guests were quite surprised.
This is a very important occasion for the business, and traditionally only family members are present.
It's true that Shang Shiyan has officially announced his relationship, but they haven't even gotten engaged yet.
Logically speaking...
Pei Jinwu is not qualified to appear as the "master".
soon.
A girl wearing a white down jacket and a red sweater appeared before everyone.
She wasn't wearing makeup, and her face was incredibly clean.
Her hair fell naturally over her shoulders, swaying in the wind, perfectly complementing her flawless, stunning features...
She was unbelievably beautiful.
I thought the man online was handsome enough, but I never expected—
In reality, it's even more incredible.
No wonder Master Shang was willing to fall for him.
If you disregard their family backgrounds, the two are a perfect match.
"..."
Seeing Pei Jinwu being led by Shang Shiyan, with a listless and expressionless expression.
You Xue'er was somewhat surprised, and even a little self-conscious.
In terms of looks and overall presence, she is indeed inferior to the other woman.
But in terms of family background...
This is something she is very proud of.
Looking around, there are few who can compare to her.
"Wuwu, you're here?"
Zhong Man, quick on her feet, grabbed Pei Jinwu's hands before the old lady could, her enthusiasm overflowing: "You must be tired after sitting on the plane for so long?"
"fine."
Pei Jinwu smiled faintly and said softly, "Aunt Zhong Man, Happy New Year."
"Seeing you makes me feel much better." Zhong Man touched Pei Jinwu's face and smiled like a sunflower.
"..."
Everyone else was completely dumbfounded.
In their minds, Zhong Man was a serious and intimidating person who never smiled.
I never expected there to be this side to it?
"Jinwu, my little girl." The old lady caught up with you, her face full of wrinkles from smiling. "I haven't seen you for half a month. I've missed you so much."
I miss you too.
Pei Jinwu touched the old lady's hand and solemnly said, "Grandma, I wish you and Grandpa a happy new year and a long life."
"With you here, we'll live to be a hundred years old." The old lady was overjoyed and blurted out, "Grandma is still waiting to hold her great-granddaughter."
"?"
Pei Jinwu was embarrassed.
"Mom, don't talk nonsense." Shang Hechuan shook his head helplessly and said in a deep voice, "What if it's his great-grandson?"
"Smack—"
Zhong Man slapped her husband's arm, completely disregarding the guests' stares, and said in a low voice, "I like my granddaughter, it has to be my granddaughter."
"If he can't give birth, I'll break Shang Shiyan's legs."
Shang Shiyan: "?"
Isn't this thinking too far ahead?
after all.
He, the person involved, hasn't even had a bite to eat yet.
"That's enough, that's enough."
Seeing Pei Jinwu pursing her lips, looking embarrassed and bewildered, Zhong Man spoke up in time: "Wuwu, we're just talking nonsense, just pretend you didn't hear us."
Shang Shiyan, that brat, has met Wuwu's family.
The marriage is a done deal.
They were so excited to marry their sweetheart.
"Grandma, this is a gift for you." Pei Jinwu beckoned, and a maid immediately brought over a brocade box.
A string of Buddhist prayer beads.
It is very suitable for use when chanting scriptures and praying for blessings. It looks ordinary, but it actually has a great history.
"Good child, Grandma likes it very much." Madam Shang couldn't wait to pick it up and put it on her wrist.
He deliberately pulled up his sleeves to show off, saying, "My granddaughter-in-law gave this to me, isn't it pretty?"
Others chimed in.
"Is this sandalwood?"
Yu Xueer took a closer look and then suddenly said, "This kind of wood is everywhere, so it's not particularly special."
"Grandma, if you want, I can find something better."
"After all, worshipping gods and Buddhas cannot be done carelessly."
"?"
Upon hearing this, Pei Jinwu lazily looked up and was caught off guard by a pair of provocative eyes.
"Hello, Miss Pei."
You Xueer stepped forward and greeted him, "I'm Shi Yan's friend."
Shi Yan?
That's a rather intimate way to address someone.
She's never called me that before.
"Shi Yan, long time no see." Before Pei Jinwu could respond, You Xue'er immediately turned her gaze to the man beside her: "How have you been these years?"
Looking at this handsome face that I had been longing for day and night, my heart pounded wildly.
If I hadn't gone abroad back then, perhaps I would be standing next to him today.
Perhaps it's myself.
"..."
Pei Jinwu glanced at Shang Shiyan, a smile playing on her lips.
"?"
Sensing the girl's emotions, Shang Shiyan's gaze turned cold: "Who are you?"
"Um?"
Yu Xue'er was surprised that he had forgotten her. After an awkward two-second pause, she regained her composure and said, "It's me, Xue'er. When we were little, we used to play together a lot in the back hills..."
When I was a child?
often?
Childhood sweethearts!
Pei Jinwu pursed her lips, her face showing little change in expression, but the fingers tucked into her pocket were slowly tightening.
"I don't know him."
Shang Shiyan frowned, responded coldly, and made a gesture to shake Pei Jinwu's hand.
"..."
Pei Jinwu shrank back, perfectly dodging the attack.
Shang Shiyan: "?"
——
good evening.
