Chapter 125 Then let her stay in the mental hospital.
Li Mai slammed the bowl down on the table: "Who needs your satisfaction! You're crazy!"
Zhou Songyan smiled and said, "Okay, okay, it's my own idea to satisfy you."
Li Mai ignored him and turned to go to the kitchen to get chopsticks.
Zhou Songyan went upstairs with a smile on her lips.
When he came down, Li Mai had already started eating without waiting for him.
Zhou Songyan sat down opposite her, and looking at the simple breakfast on the table, he instantly felt hungry.
After finishing breakfast, Zhou Songyan stayed at home and refused to leave.
Li Mai changed her clothes, went downstairs, grabbed her car keys, and went out.
Zhou Songyan sat up abruptly on the sofa and chased after him, asking, "Where are you going?"
Li Mai: "Go pick up Chengcheng."
"Why pick him up? It's better for us to continue enjoying our time together."
Li Mai glanced at him and said, "Are you his biological father? All you think about is your own selfish desires."
Zhou Songyan doesn't feel like he's a bad father at all.
Li Mai ignored him, opened the car door, and got in.
Zhou Songyan wanted to go with them, but his phone rang.
After answering the call and hearing what the other person said, he had no choice but to give up the idea of sticking to Li Mai.
...
Sun Yuanjie followed Zhou Songyan into the office.
After Zhou Songyan sat down, he said, "Mr. Zhou, the police station called and said that Guan Qing has indeed been diagnosed with mental illness."
Zhou Songyan's face was terribly grim: "What did the police say?"
Sun Yuanjie: "It's not possible to sentence him."
Zhou Songyan was silent for a moment: "Then let her stay in the mental hospital and instruct the people there to give her proper treatment."
Sun Yuanjie understood immediately, felt sorry for Guan Qing for three seconds, and then turned and left.
Guan Qing would rather go to a mental hospital than go to jail.
She knew she was mentally unstable while she was abroad, but she didn't dare to get checked out; she just looked up relevant information online.
That's why she dared to kill Li Mai.
Because she knew she had a way out.
She felt it was a real pity that she hadn't killed Li Mai.
Guan Qing had no idea that going to the mental hospital was the beginning of her nightmare.
...
Li Mai first went to Heyun Community to hand over the business to the landlord, and only after finishing that did she go to the old house to pick up Chengcheng.
When she came out carrying her suitcase, she saw Old Mrs. Zhou directing the servants to put a suitcase into the car.
She paused for a moment, then asked, "Grandma, what are you doing?"
Grandma Zhou turned to look at her with a smile: "The houses on Qingshui Road are spacious, I'll move there and live with you."
Li Mai: "..."
In the end, she couldn't bring herself to refuse, so she could only take Chengcheng and the old lady back to Qingshui Road.
After returning home, she personally made the bed for the old lady, tidied up the room, and hung up the clothes.
The old lady is getting on in years and has difficulty going up and down stairs, so she lives on the first floor.
Grandma Zhou was overjoyed.
However, she didn't want her granddaughter-in-law to work so hard.
He said, "I'll have to have Songyan find a few servants later."
Li Mai waved her hand: "No need, Grandma. I'm not in a hurry to go to work right now. I can tidy up by myself. I don't like having outsiders in the house."
She had a bad experience hiring a nanny for Chengcheng, and she didn't want to hire a maid.
Grandma Zhou was unaware of these matters, but she respected Li Mai's wishes: "Alright, it's better for us family members to live together comfortably."
Li Mai's lifestyle is different from theirs, so it's already a great thing that she agreed to move here. We can take it slow and let Li Mai adapt gradually.
...
When Zhou Songyan entered the room, he saw the grandfather and grandson sitting in the living room, one watching a melodramatic TV series and the other playing games on a tablet.
When Chengcheng saw him come in, he called out, "Dad," and then buried his head back in his game.
Grandma Zhou lost the TV remote and mysteriously pulled Zhou Songyan into her bedroom: "Have you and your granddaughter-in-law gotten together?"
Zhou Songyan: "It will be soon."
Grandma Zhou slapped him: "You're so useless!"
Zhou Songyan: "..."
He couldn't say anything even though his grandmother disliked him.
He glanced at the cleaned-up room and asked, "What happened?"
Grandma Zhou said proudly, "My granddaughter-in-law invited me to stay here and even tidied up my room herself. How wonderful!"
Zhou Songyan curled her lips slightly: "Did she really invite you?"
"Of course it's true."
Grandma Zhou walked out feeling guilty.
Zhou Songyan shook his head helplessly.
The world he longed for as a couple was slipping further and further away from him.
When he arrived at the kitchen door, he saw the young woman wearing an apron, skillfully stir-frying the food.
He took off his suit jacket, rolled up his shirt sleeves, and walked into the kitchen: "I'll help you."
Li Mai turned to look at him and instructed him, "Wash the vegetables in the sink."
"……oh."
Zhou Songyan can't cook, but she can wash and chop vegetables.
Grandma Zhou sat on the sofa and saw two figures in the kitchen, feeling a sense of perfect harmony.
When Grandma Zhou tasted Li Mai's cooking for the first time, she was so moved by how delicious it was that she cried.
"Granddaughter-in-law, you're amazing! Your cooking skills are way better than someone else's."
Li Mai laughed out loud: "Grandma, you're so trendy, you even know this kind of thing."
Grandma Zhou proudly raised her chin: "That's right, I want to mingle with you young people."
The person who criticized her cooking took away her bowl: "You ate too much tonight, you can't eat anymore."
Grandma Zhou glared angrily at Zhou Songyan: "I'm not full yet."
Zhou Songyan said, "You have to accept that you're getting old. You're not seventeen or eighteen now, you're seventy-eight. Eating too much at night will cause indigestion."
Grandma Zhou was furious: "How dare you call me old!"
"You're old and you won't let people talk about it?"
Seeing that Grandma Zhou was about to slam her fist on the table, Li Mai quickly coaxed her, "Grandma, don't be angry. You're not old at all. You're the most energetic old lady."
"But Grandma, you should eat less for dinner; it's good for your health and longevity."
"If you like my cooking, I'll cook for you every day from now on."
Grandma Zhou immediately beamed with joy: "My granddaughter-in-law knows how to talk, I love listening to her."
While praising Li Mai, he didn't forget to glare fiercely at someone.
Zhou Songyan ate without changing his expression.
After dinner, Grandma Zhou pulled Li Mai to the sofa to watch a melodramatic TV series, while Zhou Songyan was sent to clean up the table.
Zhou Songyan had no objection; he would do it: he would put the kitchen waste together, put the dishes and chopsticks in the dishwasher, and take the trash out to throw it into the community's garbage station.
When Grandma Zhou saw him come back after taking out the trash, she took Li Mai's hand and said, "You can't spoil a man. If you ask him to do more chores, he'll gradually become more diligent."
“If you don’t order him around, he’ll take it for granted and act like a big shot. Good men need to be cultivated.”
Li Mai smiled, raised her eyes to look at Zhou Songyan, who happened to be looking over at her.
Their eyes met, and there was a hint of ambiguity between them.
Li Mai looked away from the television, but her eyes were still fixed on Zhou Songyan.
Zhou Songyan went to the kitchen and came out a few minutes later with a plate of sliced apples.
He sat down next to Li Mai, forked a piece of apple, and fed it to her.
Li Mai: "..."
She glanced shyly at Grandma Zhou, then at Chengcheng, gave Zhou Songyan a playful glare, and reached for a fork: "I can do it myself."
Zhou Songyan dodged her hand: "I'll feed you."
