The ancient, heavy, vermilion-painted door was slowly pushed open from the inside. Yang Shushu saw an old lady in her sixties, wearing a dark green cheongsam, walking out. She saw Ji Chenru and saluted gracefully, "Master, you're back."
Ji Chenru nodded: "Well, Aunt Liu, is Father doing well these days?"
Aunt Liu stood aside and nodded: "Master heard that the young lady would be back in the next few days. She is getting better and better. She just had lunch and went to bed."
As she spoke, she looked at Yang Shushu, with a subtle scrutiny in her seemingly calm eyes. Yang Shushu did not avoid her gaze, but met her gaze, allowing her to scrutinize him while also scrutinizing him.
This old lady might be of the same status as Uncle Liang, but Uncle Liang looks serious, but he will crack a joke when he gets to know him. He is more like a friend to the old man, but this old lady gives people a very strange feeling. She looks dignified and serious, but she seems to be restraining something in her words and deeds. Especially when facing Ji Chenru, she never seems to look him in the eye, and she half-bows her waist when she speaks, as if-
It was like a housekeeper in a large ancient family. Although she was a housekeeper, she was still just a servant in front of the master. She grasped this degree very accurately.
Perhaps because of this, she did not keep her gaze on Yang Shushu for too long, and quickly retracted it, then took Ji Chenru and Yang Shushu into the mansion.
Stepping over the high threshold, Yang Shushu felt that reading was like traveling through time and space. She had never been to a real ancient house, but she had watched a lot of them on TV. Every tree and blade of grass, every pavilion and tower here were telling about their own history. She looked around with curiosity, and her hands would unconsciously touch those buildings that obviously bore traces of history. Her face was calm, but she could not hide her curiosity.
Ji Chenru couldn't hide his pride in his eyes: "Qiuqiu, do you like home?"
Yang Shushu looked up at him, curled the corners of her mouth, and didn't say whether she liked it or not, but just said objectively: "Very beautiful."
Ji Chenru was very satisfied with Yang Shushu's performance. Not to mention that she grew up in an ordinary family, even if she was a child raised in a big family, she would not be able to hide her shock and excitement when she first arrived at the Ji family and saw this house.
However, Yang Shushu behaved very calmly and reservedly, showing her noble demeanor. She was no less capable than any other child who grew up in the Ji family.
He thinks it has something to do with his bloodline.
Following Liu Ma around pavilions, winding bridges, and gardens and grass fields, Yang Shushu saw a small building with carved beams and painted rafters. It looked especially like the kind of place in TV dramas where a family would sit together to quarrel or negotiate, which might be called a reception room.
The door of the small building was open, and people sitting inside could be seen from the outside. When someone saw them coming, several people ran out directly.
They were all relatively young, the oldest being around twenty at most, and the younger ones looked only seven or eight years old. There were four or five of them, both men and women.
When Yang Shushu arrived, the youngest among them couldn't help but exclaimed: "Wow, she looks just like my aunt."
The oldest, Zuo Zai Ting, was a boy. He looked at Yang Shushu for a while, without saying hello, and then raised his voice and said, "Hey, I heard that you and Zuo Jinheng have an ambiguous relationship. Is it true?"
His attitude was quite rude. Before Yang Shushu could even begin, Ji Chenru shouted, "Ji Zhou, where are your manners?"
Ji Zhou curled his lips in disdain: "That's what's spread online, why can't I ask?"
Yang Shushu walked up to Ji Chenru and patted him: "It's okay, it's a good thing for children to be curious."
After saying that, she stepped forward and looked at Ji Zhou: "Yes, I know him and we have a good relationship. What? Are you his fan?"
Before Ji Zhou could say anything, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl next to him started talking: "You are so shameless. You are already married, but you are still hooking up with men."
Ji Chenru's expression changed in an instant. The girl who spoke might have noticed it. She was startled and turned around and ran to the hall, shouting as she ran: "Mom, the new cousin is bullying me."
Yang Shushu: "..." Well, everyone really didn't lie to him when they met in Jinjiu. The Ji family has many more weirdos than the Mu family. Now that he thinks about it, each one of the Mu family members is quite cute.
She turned to look at Ji Chenru and smiled, "The Ji family's welcome ceremony is quite special."
Ji Chenru also felt embarrassed. He could see that his brothers and sisters were trying to intimidate him. It was not easy for him to interfere, so they let the children make trouble. Did they really think that he didn't dare to do anything to these naughty kids?
"Children are ignorant, you don't have to worry about it, and daddy is here, don't be afraid."
Yang Shushu smiled, said nothing, stepped over the threshold before him, and walked into the hall alone.
There were quite a few people in the hall, and she didn't count them one by one. There were old, middle-aged and young people, and she didn't recognize them. Ji Chenru hurried in. Seeing these people, his face was not very good, but he still forced a suitable smile: "Is everyone waiting for Qiuqiu to come home today?"
As he spoke, he put his hand on Yang Shushu's shoulder and said, "Come, Shushu, Daddy will introduce you..."
Yang Shushu's shoulders shrank and she smiled, "My memory isn't very good. I can't remember so much at once. Let's talk later. I'm tired and hungry now. I don't have time to deal with monsters. Please prepare lunch for me and a room."
She simply ignored everyone present and just looked at Aunt Liu and spoke with a calm attitude and leisurely demeanor, as if this was her home and she was the eldest daughter here.
Aunt Liu was stunned for a moment, looked at Ji Chenru, and when Ji Chenru nodded, she responded, "Young lady, please follow me."
As Yang Shushu took a step forward, she heard a sinister voice behind her saying, "Where did this wild girl come from? How dare she run into the Ji family and act wild?"
Yang Shushu turned around and saw a middle-aged woman. Behind her was the girl who had just called her shameless. She looked at her and smiled, "That's interesting. If an old woman like you can be here, why can't I? Oh, by the way, it is said that I am the granddaughter that Mr. Ji went through so much trouble to find. Not even the God of Hell can defeat him for me. Why do you think he has to hang on to his breath and see me? What does he want to give me?"
Having lived in the Mu family, she knew almost everything that went on in rich families.
Comparing words with Yang Shushu is simply courting death.
In an instant, the expressions of everyone present changed, except Ji Chenru. He had originally thought that Yang Shushu's words were too rude, but at this moment he really wanted to give his daughter a thumbs up. Suddenly, he remembered something Ji Delu had told him. At that time, when Mu Shicang was in trouble, the other people in the Mu family wanted to take the opportunity to pull him down from Mu Yuan's main position, but it was his daughter who made a scene in the meeting room on the spot, kicking Mu Dingyuan's conspiracy back into her stomach.
Faced with this kind of situation, his daughter should be well aware of it.
Suddenly, he didn't want to care about anything and just wanted to watch the show.
