Zhou Liwan hurried back to the room, leaning weakly against the door, breathing rapidly.

Looking at the things that appeared inexplicably in his hand, he hit his head helplessly.

Finally put it in the closet.

Without giving her time to think of more countermeasures, Zhou Jianguo called again.

Zhou Liwan then remembered that today was the day her grandparents would return to the Zhou family.

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Liwan had walked out of the pink and charming atmosphere just now. With a heavy heart, she changed her clothes and asked the driver to take her back to Zhou's house.

If my grandfather knew that I had come to the old house and went back alone at night without even seeing him, he would probably be angry with me again.

But her mother's inheritance had not been fully recovered yet, so she naturally would not let the Zhou family go so easily.

But Zhou Liwan was still a little sad because he got nothing for the whole afternoon.

I don’t know where my grandfather hid the things. It seems I have to pick a day to look for them slowly at home.

When we arrived at Zhou's house, there were several cars parked at the door. Fortunately, the villa area was equipped with enough parking spaces, otherwise Master Wang would have to find a parking place outside.

When Zhou Liwan entered, everyone was having dinner in the restaurant. She didn't know if it was because her loved one had returned, but the restaurant was exceptionally quiet and harmonious.

Zhou Jianguo looked at Zhou Liwan who was not in a hurry and didn't even say hello, and his face turned cold: "Grandpa and grandma are coming back today, but you didn't even come back early to help! And you stayed up so late, and everyone was waiting for you!"

Zhou Liwan sat down slowly, looking at the dishes on the table, and took a bite of his favorite dish with interest: "Wait for me? I see you are all eating, aren't you?"

Zhou Jianguo's face turned visibly green. He had been holding it in since he was hung up on just now, and he was still constantly contradicting himself.

"It's ok for you to be so unruly on weekdays, but today your grandfather is back!"

Xu Zhichao put down his chopsticks expressionlessly and glanced at the people at the table calmly: "Well, it's rare for the whole family to sit together today, so everyone should eat well!"

Zhou Jianguo naturally stopped talking. Although Xu Zhichao was not his biological father, he came to the big city to make a living and it was with this man's financial support that he was able to climb up step by step.

Later, he established Zhou with the funds he had.

To him, the other party is not only a stepfather, but also a benefactor.

"Yes." Zhou Jianguo stopped talking and quietly picked up food for his mother on the other side.

Qin Suqiu's eyes were filled with resentment, and she became even more angry when she saw Zhou Liwan's leisurely and contented look.

If it weren't for this beast, why would she have stayed in the hospital for so long?

After all, I am her grandmother. Aren’t you afraid of being criticized for being disrespectful to me?

"You haven't called anyone since you came in. Your grandfather is not particular about trivial matters and doesn't bother with you younger generations, but you can't be ignorant of etiquette! If I don't remind you, it will still be my Zhou family who will be scolded when you go out in the future!"

Zhou Liwan was too lazy to pretend anymore, so he threw down the chopsticks in his hand and wiped his mouth calmly: "Don't take money from me just because of our blood relationship. If you really know that you are the elder, you shouldn't occupy the things of the younger generation."

Zhou Liwan looked at Xu Zhichao coldly and continued: "What do you think? Grandpa, it's time for my mother to pay back for all her pretense. I didn't bother with you before, but you can't be shameless. If I don't remind you again, people outside will spread the rumor that you deliberately embezzled the dowry of your dead daughter-in-law!"

Qin Suqiu stood up in anger and poured a cup of cold tea all over Zhou Liwan's face, gritting her teeth and saying, "How dare you, damn girl, talk to your grandfather like that?"

Zhou Liwan calmly took out a tissue and wiped the water off her cheeks. She ignored Qin Suqiu and stared at Xu Zhichao without blinking.

The other party also slowly put down his bowl and chopsticks, and wiped the corner of his mouth unhurriedly: "Your mother's inheritance will naturally be returned to you. I have only managed it for you all these years because you are still young."

Qin Suqiu's face immediately changed. She stood up excitedly and said in a shrill voice, "What else? We are all family. What's yours and mine? Besides, Jiang Xinyi has been dead for so long. We have raised her daughter for so many years. Are we raising her for nothing?"

Zhou Liwan laughed angrily: "Grandma, you are really my good grandma. I really don't understand why you, a major shareholder who has seen the world, would marry such a street shrew who only cares about the inheritance."

Xu Zhichao did not explain, but just used his eyes to stop Qin Suqiu from saying anything else.

The meal ended unhappily. Zhou Liwan stood up and said to everyone at the table, "I hope Grandpa won't let this matter drag on any longer and transfer the inheritance to my name this morning. Although I don't have much ability, I still have the Jiang family to protect me."

After saying that, he slammed the door and walked out.

The remaining people looked at each other. The only sound in the quiet restaurant was Xu Zhichao's cough, which was violent and terrifying.

Zhou Liwan vaguely heard some noise and frowned. As soon as she entered the door, she noticed that this grandfather whom she had not seen for a long time looked very bad, with a pale complexion and a hint of grayness.

There is a dead air that makes people feel unlucky.

"Gu~" Zhou Liwan smiled helplessly, rubbed his stomach, and returned to the old house.

I was really busy tonight.

It was already midnight when they arrived at the old house. The servants were all asleep and Zhou Liwan didn't want to trouble others.

I ran into the kitchen, turned on a small light, and prepared to make some noodles.

Boil water in a pot, put the noodles in the water, and add some of the vegetables that you like to eat.

When the food was almost out of the pot, Zhou Liwan noticed Shen Nanzhou leaning on the kitchen door frame.

"Uncle, you haven't slept yet?" Zhou Liwan scratched his head awkwardly.

"I just finished work and I'm a little hungry, so I came here to see if there's anything to eat." Shen Nanzhou suddenly stepped forward, walked to her side, looked at the noodles in the pot and said softly, "They smell so good, I didn't expect you to have such good cooking skills."

"How about you, little uncle, come and have some too. I cooked a lot."

"Thank you for being late." Shen Nanzhou's voice was gentle and low, and he replied in the quiet kitchen.

The man stood very close to her. Zhou Liwan seemed to be able to feel the warm breath emanating from him, as if if she moved a little further she would be able to throw herself into his arms like she did that day.

Zhou Liwan's fair cheeks were tinged with a hint of blush.

Fortunately, it was only a moment. She asked Shen Nanzhou to sit down and she served two bowls of noodles and brought them over.

In this quiet atmosphere, it was the first time that the two of them were truly alone.

Zhou Liwan concentrated on eating with great relish.

Shen Nanzhou looked deeply at the half of her white back that was exposed because of her lowered head.
