Chapter 34
"I'm here to see little Cancan." Yan Jiayu walked closer with a smile, and every step seemed to be walking on Rong Susu's heart.
When he arrived in front of Rong Cancan, he squatted down, looked at the child at eye level, handed the doll to her, and asked gently, "Is Cancan feeling better?"
Rong Cancan had never met Yan Jiayu before, but she was a polite child. She took the Hello Kitty cat and grinned happily, "Thank you, uncle. I'm much better now!"
Yan Jiayu reached out and touched Cancan's head lovingly. He had many uncles and brothers in his family, as well as nephews and nieces who were about the same age as Rong Cancan, and he felt very close to her.
"My aunt loves Kitty Cat the most. She has several in her bedroom."
Rong Cancan kissed the kitten and generously gave the doll to Rong Susu, "Auntie, this is for you."
"What does Cancan like most?" Yan Jiayu asked.
"Kirby Bear!" the little girl answered crisply. She looked like a lively child, not shy at all. However, she tugged at the collar of her hospital gown with a bit of disappointment, looking pitiful. "But Kirby is at home. I didn't bring him."
Yan Jiayu smiled. This child was just like a little Rong Susu. It made her want to fulfill her wish. "Then uncle will get it for you, okay?"
Rong Cancan immediately nodded excitedly, but Rong Susu stopped her.
"Cancan, Uncle Yan came all the way from Shanghai. It's too late. Grandpa will deliver it to you tomorrow morning."
Oh, Rong Cancan is a sensible child and nodded immediately. She has grown up and it doesn’t matter if she doesn’t have Kirby for one night.
Unexpectedly, Yan Jiayu insisted, "What's so tiring about this? Just send me the address and tell my uncle and aunt, and I'll bring it over as soon as I get it."
Rong Zhengsong received a call from Rong Susu, saying that a friend came to pick up Cancan's Kirby Bear.
"It's all my fault. I forgot about this when I went to deliver the meal tonight, and I had to trouble your friend to make another trip."
"Cancan's situation today is all thanks to him. He was the one who found the director." Rong Susu told Rong Zhengsong truthfully, and specifically mentioned that the other person came from Shanghai that night.
Wow, this is incredible, he is simply a benefactor!
Yan Jiayu didn't drive, but took a taxi and parked it near Xiaotai Lane. However, there were too many residents here, and it was late at night, so he felt like he was walking in a maze. The navigation didn't seem to work, so he could only ask for directions.
"Excuse me, beautiful lady, how do I get to No. 98, 2nd Street?"
He Shurong had just returned from playing outside when suddenly a handsome guy came over to ask for directions. She thought the other party was trying to hit on her, but after thinking about it, she realized that House No. 98, Street 2 was Rong Susu's house, opposite her own.
"Are you a relative of the Rong family?" She couldn't help but be curious. She had never seen such a person before.
When Yan Jiayu heard the other party mention the Rong family, she knew she had asked the right question and introduced herself, "I am Rong Susu's friend."
Oh, the other person's looking up and down made him feel a little uncomfortable, but fortunately he agreed to show him the way, "Follow me, she is our neighbor."
Rong Zhengsong had been waiting at the door for a long time. He originally wanted to wait outside Xiaotai Lane, but he didn't know which direction Yan Jiayu would come from. He was afraid of taking the wrong direction, so he could only wait at the door.
"It's Xiao Yan, right? Please come in!" Seeing He Shurong bringing someone in, he immediately invited her home warmly.
Yan Jiayu's appearance was warmly received by the two elders of the Rong family. They poured tea and cut fruit. He quickly explained, "Uncle and aunt, please stop busying yourself. I just came to get a Kirby Bear for Cancan."
"Xiao Yan, Su Su told us that today, thanks to your help, you are our Cancan's great benefactor!"
I don’t deserve it, I don’t deserve it. Yan Jiayu is really flattered, but he doesn’t deserve to be such a benefactor.
It just happened that he knew someone and said hello. For him, it was just a matter of making a phone call.
"Xiao Yan, since you're here, then stay in Licheng for a few more days and let Susu accompany you. Your uncle will cook for you at noon tomorrow, so come to our house for a simple meal!"
Xu Jinhua liked the young man more and more because of his gentle and elegant appearance. Just now, her daughter said that he came all the way to see Cancan, and she knew what was going on.
This is not for Cancan, it is obviously for Susu, how thoughtful of him.
Rong Zhengsong accompanied him to the taxi, and even after the car drove away, he was still waving goodbye.
Yan Jiayu laughed while holding the Kirby Bear in his hand. He always felt that Rong Susu was simple and cute. Now he found the reason, because she had always lived in a loving family.
When Rong Zhengsong came back, he saw that the worry on his wife's face had disappeared and she couldn't suppress the smile.
"What are you so happy about? You were sighing just now."
"I am happy!" Xu Jinhua felt that her husband was really stupid.
What is there to be happy about? Cancan hasn't been discharged from the hospital yet. Rong Zhengsong is completely confused. Is she so moody during menopause?
"This Xiao Yan definitely likes our Su Su, and Su Su is also interested in him." Xu Jinhua concluded firmly.
After hearing this, Rong Zhengsong was also a little surprised, "I've never heard Su Su say that before."
"Think about it, if the two of them were not interested, would Susu let him come and get the things? Just wait and see, this guy definitely has potential." Xu Jinhua believed in his own judgment, and also believed in his daughter's judgment.

Rong Haoyu and Zhuang Hua also rushed back to Licheng from abroad overnight. Rong Cancan recovered well. The director examined her and said there was no problem. She was discharged from the hospital the next day.
Although she told the Rong family elders that she would return to Shanghai the next day, Yan Jiayu decided to stay for another day because of Rong Haoyu and his wife's strong persuasion.
The group took Rong Cancan back to Xiaotai Lane. It was a grand and spectacular procession.
This was Yan Jiayu's first time to truly come into contact with old houses in China. They were completely different from their home. Every household here had red tiles and white walls, and they were two-story buildings with people coming and going, giving off a warm, homely atmosphere.
Seeing Yan Jiayu staying, the two elders of the Rong family were absolutely delighted and insisted that she be given a seat.
"No, no, uncle and aunt, you take the seat." Yan Jiayu tried his best to refuse. He was the younger generation and didn't dare to do so. "If my father knew that I took the elders' seat, he would definitely punish me by making me kneel in the ancestral hall."
The young man was so sensible that Xu Jinhua felt he was a hundred times better than his previous son-in-law.
"Xiao Yan, are you from Shanghai?" Rong Zhengsong took out his treasured wine and filled Yan Jiayu's glass himself.
Yan Jiayu quickly picked up the cup. Although he studied in Europe, he actually grew up in Southeast Asia when he was a child. His family was a traditional Chinese family, so he was familiar with all these etiquettes.
When Rong Zhengsong asked, he answered truthfully, "But I plan to settle down in Shanghai. This is where our family roots are before our ancestors went to Southeast Asia."
That’s good, that’s good. This way Rong Zhengsong and Xu Jinhua can rest assured. Licheng and Hucheng are so close, so it doesn’t matter where they settle down in the future.
"Does Xiao Yan have any brothers or sisters?" Rong Zhengsong continued to ask, but Rong Susu was unwilling.
"Dad, are you checking my household registration? I'm a guest, it's so rude to ask so many questions."
Yan Jiayu immediately said it was okay, "I have an older sister, but she's ten years older than me, and my niece is already in high school."
Generally, brothers-in-law don’t like their brothers-in-law. In any case, Rong Haoyu doesn’t like Cheng Huaian very much. But the more he looks at Yan Jiayu, the more he likes her, almost like a brother to her.
"Cancan, you should also toast your uncle. Thank you." Zhuang Hua reminded his daughter and poured her a glass of freshly squeezed juice.
Rong Cancan didn't hesitate, holding the cup in front of Yan Jiayu, and said generously, "Thank you, Uncle Yan, you must come to our house often in the future!"
It can be seen that the Rong family has excellent family education. Everyone is kind and enthusiastic. They are friendly and equal, and have harmonious and warm relationships, which is completely different from the family education he received since childhood.
Looking at the happy family, Yan Jiayu suddenly felt envious.
When leaving, Rong Susu personally sent Yan Jiayu back to the hotel, and the whole family came out to see her off.
"Xiao Yan, please come here often in the future and treat it like your own home."
The noisy noise woke up He Shurong who was still sleeping.
She came out to see who was making the noise, and found that it was someone from the Rong family. Rong Susu was also there. Wasn’t the man next to her the one who asked her for directions last night?
"Uncle and aunt, are there guests coming to your house?" He Shurong asked.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a person with a messy hair appear on the second floor of the Cheng family courtyard. It was obvious that he had just woken up.
Rong Zhengsong was about to answer, but Rong Cancan, who was holding his hand, gave the answer first.
"Aunt Xiaorong, that's my new uncle."
New uncle-in-law, no wonder he came to Rong Susu’s house last night.
He Shurong??!
This is explosive news. Rong Susu found a new club for herself so quickly!
***
The SUV was driving steadily on the road. Rong Susu tried to drive slowly. Yan Jiayu had drunk a lot of wine. He had a fair complexion and his skin was a little red after drinking the white wine. She was afraid that if he drove too fast, he would feel uncomfortable.
"My parents are very traditional. Since I'm divorced, they get very sensitive when they see someone of the opposite sex with similar conditions. Don't take it to heart."
She explained a little embarrassedly that she didn't know much about Yan Jiayu. She didn't understand what her parents had asked just now. She was actually quite curious, but she was afraid that Yan Jiayu would find it abrupt, so she stopped them from asking any more questions.
"What's the big deal? Who hasn't been urged to get married?" Yan Jiayu leaned towards the passenger seat and found a more comfortable position.
The passenger seat was a little forward because she had taken Xu Jinhua shopping and all the things were piled on the back seat, so she moved the seat forward.
"If you feel uncomfortable, just adjust it. The switch is on the right."
This time, Yan Jiayu stayed at the Lirong Hotel again. Rong Susu parked the car at the hotel entrance and asked him, "I'll pick you up at the airport tomorrow morning. What time is your flight?"
It has already taken up a lot of his time, and their company has a lot of things to do. I guess Yan Jiayu will take an earlier flight.
"No need, I have an appointment tonight. The driver has arrived and I will return to Shanghai tonight." Yan Jiayu looked at Rong Susu and explained.
In fact, he really enjoyed the time he spent with Rong Susu. It was relaxing and happy, without any pressure. Before getting off the car, he couldn't help but look back and say, "Cancan and you look so much like each other. Other times, nephews resemble their uncles, but I didn't expect aunts and nephews to look so similar."
"Yan Jiayu, you're not making an appointment with someone to go see paintings again, are you?" Rong Susu couldn't help but ask half-jokingly.
My criminal record is a stain that cannot be washed away.
Yan Jiayu, who had walked a short distance away, turned around, strode back, and stopped in front of Rong Susu.
The sudden turn made her breathe faster, and the breeze cooled her hot cheeks.
"Rong Susu, sometimes the elders' intuition is quite accurate. What do you think?"
