Chen He took the bus back, and just as he arrived downstairs of the apartment building, the phone rang.
The caller's note is Grandma.
Seeing the call from grandma, Shen He was dazed for a moment.
Chen He was raised by her grandmother. The two depended on each other and had the closest relationship.
But this summer, the grandmother who lived alone in the countryside slipped and fell into a pond. When Chen He checked the surveillance camera of the old house after work, the old lady had already floated to the surface of the water.
Mu Tingyun accompanied her throughout the whole process of taking care of the old man's funeral and gave him a grand burial, which completely strengthened Shen He's determination to marry him.
Shen He answered the call cautiously.
Before I could open my mouth, I heard my grandma's loud voice: "Miaomiao, have you had lunch?"
Miaomiao is Chen He's nickname, and only Grandma Shen calls her that.
Being able to hear the old lady's familiar voice again, Shen He was extremely excited and burst into tears as soon as she opened her mouth: "Grandma."
Hearing her granddaughter's choking voice, Grandma Shen was silent for two seconds, and then asked distressedly: "Tell grandma, did your parents wrong you, or did that kid from the Mu family bully you?"
"I just miss my grandma." Chen He entered the apartment, took off his shoes, and slowly slid down against the wall.
She squatted in the corner and whispered, "Grandma, I want to eat the bighead carp you made. I'll go back to the countryside to see you tomorrow, okay?"
"You have to work, so I'd better go to the city to see you! Bamboo shoots are sprouting in the backyard, I'll bring you some. It's rained a few times recently, and there are small mushrooms in the mountains..."
Hearing her grandmother's mumbling, Chen He bit her forearm and cried silently.
Holding back his tears, Shen He responded, "Okay, I'll pick you up at the high-speed rail station tomorrow."
"No need, I can take the subway to your house by myself, I know the way..." Grandma was in a hurry to go to the backyard to dig bamboo shoots, and hung up the phone without saying a few words.
She had to find a way to persuade her grandmother to live with her to avoid the tragedy of her previous life from happening again.
Although my grandmother is 78, she has always been in good health. If she can survive this tragedy, she can live another ten years without any problem.

After taking a shower, Shen He cooked a bowl of noodles for himself, and while he was eating, he received a call from Shen Guanghui.
Without saying a word of greeting, Shen Guanghui started giving orders: "Shen He, your grandma's birthday is tonight, don't be absent. Remember to ask Ting Yun if he is free and come back with you."
It turned out that the old lady of the Shen family was going to have a birthday.
The old lady of the Shen family, surnamed Zhong, was Zhong Pingting. She was the daughter of a wealthy family that Grandfather Shen Zhenkun had used all sorts of tricks to successfully marry after abandoning his wife in his youth in order to marry into a wealthy family.
Zhong Pingting was not the third party who destroyed my grandmother's marriage.
But in order to curry favor with his rich stepmother, Shen Guanghui ignored his biological mother and was the same as his father.
Chen He will never forget that after her grandmother drowned, her father was so cruel that he didn't even attend the funeral.
At the poor grandma's funeral, there wasn't even anyone to carry the coffin.
After grandma died, Shen He unilaterally distanced himself from the Shen family.
Chen He slurped the noodles in big mouthfuls and said in a cold tone: "My grandma is picking mushrooms in the countryside."
"Chen He, are you deliberately trying to piss me off?"
Shen Guanghui reminded her in a serious tone: “Your grandma’s birthday is coming, and your uncle’s children will come over. It will embarrass me if you don’t come.”
Shen He continued to eat noodles and said vaguely: "I just came out of the hospital and I am weak..."
Father Shen interrupted her impatiently: "You are as strong as an ox. If you want to fool me, find a realistic reason."
Chen He stared at the pinhole marks on the back of his hand, his eyes moist for a second.
She said in a nonchalant tone: "I recently opened a company and business is very busy. I have to work overtime tonight to finish the design..."
After graduating, Chen He opened a home design studio and was indeed very busy.
Upon hearing this, Shen Guanghui knew what Shen He meant, and he interrupted Shen He angrily: "How much do you want?"
Shen He didn’t say a number, but only said: “It depends on your face and how much the old lady’s mood is worth.”
After saying that, Chen He simply hung up the phone.
Soon, the bank app reminded Shen He that he had received a transfer of 500,000 yuan.
When Shen He was young, she lived with her grandmother in the countryside. Shen Guanghui only gave her grandmother 5,000 yuan a year. That 5,000 yuan was the living expenses for the two of them.
This shows how much face this old lady has.
Her scumbag father had no feelings for her, and Chen He had no psychological burden at all for blackmailing him for money.
After receiving the money, Shen He was satisfied.
She gave Mr. Shen an OK sign and went to the kitchen with the bowl.
Just after I finished washing the dishes, the phone rang again.
Seeing Mu Tingyun's name, Shen He's heart twitched reflexively, and the hatred from his previous life flooded into his mind.
Chen He leaned against the kitchen counter, pressed his chest and relaxed for a while. Only after the hatred subsided did he answer the phone.
"Chen He." Mu Tingyun is a rich and noble young man who is good at controlling his emotions and his tone is always gentle and clear.
"I received a call from Uncle Shen and learned that tonight is Madam Shen's 70th birthday. I heard that the old lady likes to collect art, so I asked someone to find a painting of a longevity white crane by Teacher Zhang Jingyu."
"Do you think it's okay?"
"Is it Teacher Zhang Jingyu's work?" Chen He smiled mysteriously and said, "You picked it yourself, she will definitely like it."
When Shen Zhenkun was middle-aged, he cheated on his wife, Ms. Zhang Jingyu, an embroiderer. Ms. Zhong, who was in the late stages of her pregnancy, caught them having sex in a car, which made her so angry that she went into premature birth on the spot.
It is said that the premature baby is a daughter.
Ms. Zhong and Shen Zhenkun had two sons, and she always dreamed of having a warm and caring little one. The premature death of her daughter was a lifelong pain for Ms. Zhong.
The person that Old Lady Shen hated most in her life was Teacher Zhang Jingyu.
Mu Tingyun's gift really touched the old lady's heart.
Chen He remembered that in his previous life, Mu Tingyun had chosen Teacher Zhang Jingyu's painting of longevity and white cranes.
But at that time she still had a glimmer of hope for Shen's father, hoping that Mu Tingyun could leave a good impression on Shen Guanghui, so she reminded Mu Tingyun to change a gift.
But now...
Oh, she wished that Shen Guanghui and Mu Tingyun would fight each other.
On the phone, Mu Tingyun asked again: "Are you in the studio? I'll pick you up later and go to your house together."
"I'm not feeling well today, so I'm resting at home. Please pick me up at my apartment after work."
When Mu Tingyun heard Chen He say that she was not feeling well, he immediately asked nervously: "Where do you feel unwell? Let me accompany you to the hospital for a check-up."
In the past, whenever Mu Tingyun cared about her health, Shen He felt that she was the happiest woman in the world.
Now.
Oh.
The more he cared about her health, the more he loved his childhood sweetheart, Qin Yinong.
She was so unlucky that she met that bastard Mu Tingyun!
