"Master, the assistant of the eldest son of the Zuo family just delivered this key. He said it is the property of the third son of the Zuo family in Huacheng. It is a gift from the third son of the Zuo family for the eldest daughter to go home."
There was a Bagua-shaped keychain dangling from the key. Anyone who lived in the Flower City knew what that key chain represented. It was the key to the nationally famous Xiuyun Tower on Xiuyun Mountain in the Flower City.
Perhaps a villa there is nothing to the Ji family, but a house there is absolutely a sky-high price for most people. How could the third young master of the Zuo family just casually give away a sky-high priced house?
What is the relationship between Yang Shushu and him?
At this time, Jiang Lina raised her head again and said with a smug smile: "Haha, it seems that our daughter is quite popular. Ji Hao, what you are worried about does not seem to happen."
This time, Ji Hao's face turned gloomy. He bit his lower lip tightly and stared at Yang Shushu with eyes full of jealousy.
Yang Shushu was completely bewildered. What were these two people up to? She could understand Mu Shicang, but Zuo Jinheng, such a big deal?
She stared at the key in her hand, and suddenly wished Zuo Jinheng was right in front of her so she could pat his head to see if it was wet.
The dinner at the Ji family was magical. Originally, Yang Shushu was the target of attack, but with the actions of Mu Shicang and Zuo Jinheng, she didn't even move her hands and defeated the enemy speechless.
The happiest people here were Ji Chenru and Jiang Lina. Jiang Lina's eyes looked more sincere when she looked at Yang Shushu.
"Shushu, your relationship with the third young master of the Zuo family..." Although it is a good thing that his daughter is popular, when it comes to choosing between the Zuo family and the Mu family, Ji Chenru is more inclined to the Mu family. Besides, how can the third young master of the Zuo family, who has no say in things, compare with the future heir of the Mu family?
Yang Shushu looked at the expressions of the two and smiled: "What kind of relationship do you two hope we can have?"
Ji Chenru was stunned for a moment, then said: "Look at what you said. Dad is not against you making friends, but you are also a married man, so there should be a limit to making friends. This gift is a bit expensive. You should return it to the owner someday. Our Ji family is not short of a house."
Yang Shushu looked down at the key in her hand and was about to speak when Aunt Liu came over: "Master, the master has woken up and wants to see the young lady."
Ji Chenru laughed when he heard it: "Qiuqiu, your grandpa has woken up and wants to see you, hurry up and pack up."
Yang Shushu looked down at herself, the corners of her mouth raised sarcastically: "Do you need me to change into a dress?"
Ji Chenru was stunned for a moment, his face showing embarrassment: "Dad didn't mean that."
Yang Shushu didn't listen to his dry explanation and followed Aunt Liu. After she left, Ji Chenru's face suddenly darkened. Jiang Lina then spoke: "Hubby, this girl seems difficult to control."
Ji Chenru shook his head thoughtfully: "It's another matter to say that it's difficult to control. I always feel that this girl seems to have some plans in mind."
Jiang Lina was puzzled: "What's your plan?"
"I'll go first. I can't let her face the old man alone. I don't know what nonsense he'll say."
Jiang Lina also agreed and nodded.

Yang Shushu followed Liu Ma around most of the garden and finally stopped in front of an ancient and quiet courtyard. There was a bodyguard at the gate of the courtyard. After seeing Liu Ma, he let her in. Yang Shushu followed in. Before she reached the door, she smelled a strong smell of Chinese medicine in the courtyard. It was not pungent, but quite strong. The medicine should be almost ready.
Aunt Liu slowly pushed open a wooden door, and a more complex smell of medicine seeped out of the door. Yang Shushu took a look inside and heard an old voice: "Child, come in."
Aunt Liu stood at the door and made a gesture to Yang Shushu to invite her in. Yang Shushu hesitated for a moment, then stepped over the threshold and walked in.
The room was antique, even the lampshades were in the style of ancient palaces. She walked to the middle of the room and saw an old man leaning against a carved bed and looking at her. The old man was very old, at least older than Old Master Mu, and not as energetic as Old Master Mu. His eyes were cloudy, half open and half closed, and he looked like he would fall asleep at any time.
But after Yang Shushu stood still, his eyes slowly opened. He didn't speak, but stared at her for a long time. Yang Shushu didn't move, letting him look at her. When he slowly closed his eyes again, she spoke: "Hello, Mr. Ji."
"Child, you should call me grandpa." Old Master Ji said slowly.
Yang Shushu stared at him for a while, and finally said softly: "Grandpa."
A smile appeared on Mr. Ji's face: "Okay, okay, I will return the pearl to you. It is indeed the pearl of my Ji family."
Yang Shushu stood still, feeling a bit puzzled. How could he tell that she was Mingzhu? She herself felt like a glass ball.
"Child, come here and let grandpa take a good look."
Old Master Ji stretched out his hand towards her. The hand was very thin and had age spots on it, but judging from its shape, it must have been a very beautiful hand when he was young.
Yang Shushu didn't want to go over, but out of respect for the old man, she hesitated for a moment and then slowly walked over.
Old Master Ji patted the edge of the bed and asked her to sit down. She sat down slowly, and the old man began to look at her from nearby. He seemed to be more and more satisfied as he looked at her, and even his whole mental state became better because of her approach.
"You look a lot like your mother, but your eyes are very different. Your mother is just a flower in a greenhouse, but you, my child, can grow into a towering tree and become the protector of my Ji family."
Mr. Ji spoke with certainty, but Yang Shushu looked incredulous. She wanted to ask, could it be just because of a dream?
