Gu Muchen was initially incredulous, then his eyes revealed resentment. "What did my daughter do wrong? My Gu family has done good deeds all our lives, why does my daughter have to go through all this?"
...
Gu Muchen stared at the bracelet for a very long time, unable to escape his sorrowful mood.
Lin Yusheng and Uncle Li stayed quietly by his side.
As the sun was about to set, Gu Muchen managed a weak smile. “My dear child, unfortunately, Aye’s uncle and aunt are both away on business today, so this old man will have to keep you company for a meal.”
"Grandpa, there's a company dinner today, so I'm afraid I can't come with you. Next time, Aye and I will bring Fanfan back to see you, Uncle, Aunt, and Gu Yanting."
Lin Yusheng said this on purpose. Her grandfather had obviously not yet processed what had happened today, and she really didn't want him to force a smile just to keep her company.
Gu Muchen nodded and said, "Alright, alright, you young people should focus on your work. Go ahead, Grandpa looks forward to seeing you again."
Lin Yusheng said goodbye to Gu Muchen.
Gu Muchen had difficulty walking, so Uncle Li had to escort Lin Yusheng out.
On the way, Lin Yusheng thought of Gu Muchen's sad appearance and couldn't help but ask, "Uncle Li, did I do something wrong by giving the bracelet to Grandpa? It feels like I rubbed salt into his wounds."
“Young Madam, you don’t need to think like that. Master needs something to remember you by. Miss’s bracelet is also a kind of spiritual sustenance for him. You did nothing wrong. We should be grateful to you for returning Miss’s belongings.”
"That's good."
We passed a grove of crabapple trees along the way. It was autumn, but the trees were still budding. They were clearly TL's technologically advanced crabapple trees.
Uncle Li explained, "Miss loved crabapple blossoms the most when she was alive. This crabapple grove was planted by Zhengye. He couldn't express his love for the master verbally, so he used this subtle way."
“He’s always been like this,” Lin Yusheng said with a smile.
Lin Yusheng stopped, stared at the flower grove for a long time, and then said, "Uncle Li, could you get me a pair of scissors?"
"What does the young mistress intend to do?"
"I'll cut some flower buds, and you can put them in a vase for me. After Grandpa falls asleep, I'll put it in his room, and when he wakes up the next day, he should be able to see the crabapple blossoms in full bloom."
Uncle Li was a little surprised, but very happy that Lin Yusheng had such a thoughtful idea. "Please wait a moment, Madam. I'll be right there."
"good."
Most of the crabapple buds in the forest were not yet ready to bloom, and the crabapple trees were tall, so Lin Yusheng used a ladder to carefully select the flowers for a long time.
Uncle Li was afraid something might happen to her, so he called a lot of people to watch over her from below.
"Young Madam, please come down so we can go up."
"No need, it will be ready soon."
When Lin Yusheng finished pruning the last branch, she saw that Uncle Li had several drops of cold sweat on his forehead.
She smiled sheepishly, "I'm sorry, Uncle Li, I made you worry."
"It's good that the young mistress is alright." Uncle Li wiped away his cold sweat.
Lin Yusheng handed the cut crabapple branch to Uncle Li, saying, "Then I'll trouble you, Uncle Li."
"Hey, it's getting late, let me take you back to your hotel first."
"Thanks."
...
After getting into the car, Lin Yusheng first called Lu Zhengye.
It was lunchtime, so Lu Zhengye should be able to pick him up easily.
Lin Yusheng first told him about meeting her maternal grandfather.
After exchanging a few words, Lin Yusheng noticed that there was no sound from his end; it was unusually quiet.
"Did you have meal?"
"Prepare."
Lin Yusheng was somewhat displeased. "Have you started skipping meals again lately?"
Lu Zhengye was silent for a moment, then denied it, "No."
"real?"
"Well, I have some things to take care of today, so I'll eat later."
"I don't believe you, but let me tell you, if you never eat on time, I won't feel sorry for you when you have a stomachache later."
Lu Zhengye denied it, saying, "No."
Lin Yusheng sighed helplessly and said, "Never mind, I won't be home. Remember to check Fanfan's homework when you have time, don't let him slack off."
"Okay, honey."
Lin Yusheng's anger dissipated instantly because of that address, and she said angrily, "Go eat right now."
“Okay.” Lu Zhengye’s tone was gentle.
I'll pick you up from the airport tomorrow.
"good."
The call ended.
Uncle Li said with a smile, "Young Master Zhengye is fortunate to have married the young mistress; it is a blessing he has accumulated over three lifetimes."
"No, it is the blessing I have accumulated over three lifetimes that allows me to marry him. Rather than saying that, I prefer to hear you say that we are a match made in heaven, a couple destined for each other."
Uncle Li was surprised by Lin Yusheng's words. Looking at the young woman's sincere face, he was genuinely happy for his young master.
"Okay, Uncle Li got it."

When Gu Muchen woke up the next morning, he immediately saw the blooming crabapple blossoms on the bedside table.
At that moment, he felt as if he were seeing his beloved daughter, and his heart was filled with warmth.
He called Uncle Li in, "Did you do this?"
Uncle Li shook his head and said, "No, this was cut by the young mistress herself before she left yesterday. She specifically told me to bring it in after you fell asleep, so that you could see the blooming crabapple blossoms the next day."
Gu Muchen was so moved that his eyes reddened. He exclaimed, "This girl, Aye has finally seen the light at the end of the tunnel."
"yes."
...
Lu Zhengye felt that the day had passed very slowly. Lin Yusheng's flight back to Lucheng was at 5 pm, but he felt that every second was passing more slowly than usual.
At noon, he received a call from Qin Yi.
