He took me home
After hanging up the phone, Shao Zizhuo's grandmother breathed a sigh of relief. The older her grandson gets, the more oppressive he becomes. She almost doesn't dare to talk to him.
Lin Wan massaged her shoulders and said, "Mom, you have to do it yourself to call Zizhuo back." She said sadly, "I'm afraid Zizhuo still blames me."
Grandma Zizhuo held Lin Wan's hand and comforted her, "You can't be blamed for this. You care about him so much, but in his heart he still misses his biological mother. Moreover, he was rebellious back then and you were worried that he would go astray, so you secretly told us. He also has a knot in his heart."
Zizhuo's grandmother spoke gently, "Being a stepmother is tough, Wanwan. Over the years, your dedication to this family and your care for Zizhuo have been witnessed by his grandfather and I. Don't worry, we are all human beings, and we will treat everyone equally. Since Zizhuo has become the president of the group and has received half of our shares, Zizhou will get the other half when he grows up. To compensate him, I will also give Zizhou the companies I control."
Lin Wan quickly waved her hand: "Mom, we don't ask for these things. We just hope that you and Dad will be healthy and live a long life."
Grandma Zizhuo sighed, "It would be nice if Zizhuo thought the same, you little debt collector." She stood up and said, "Okay, you can have some rest. I'll go order some fresh pork belly and braise it for Zizhuo when he comes back."
After Grandma Zizhuo left, the gentle smile on Lin Wan's face gradually faded. After taking out her phone to send a message, she stretched out her back on the sofa, admiring her new manicure. The corner of her mouth curled up sarcastically, "Shao Zizhuo, things may change over time, there's still a long way to go."
Guan Shanyue's phone dinged. A message came from an unmarked number: "You must go home with Shao Zizhuo. After the matter is completed, the money will be transferred to your card. It will be enough to at least pay off your debts for this month."
"Who is this person?" Guan Shanyue frowned and asked the system.
In the book, Shao Zizhuo has always been a person who can make things happen with a wave of his hand. He is overwhelming everyone he faces and almost no one can outmaneuver him. Therefore, the villains are all supporting roles with little influence. Their roles are not important and are boring. Guan Shanyue read the book in a skipped manner, so he almost knows nothing about this part of the plot.
The system said: "Sorry, host, you have not yet received the plot clue card."
Guan Shanyue complained to the system and started to bluff: "How can this be a plot hint? It's just a hint about the character's social relationships. Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle. Only by fully immersing yourself in social relationships can I better understand my character and better complete the plot, right?"
The system thought it made sense and after a moment of silence said: "Please check your notifications."
"She facilitated your meeting with Shao Zizhuo, hoping to use you to influence him, but the tactics she used were childish."
Guan Shanyue nodded. It was indeed child's play. Before persuading people to do bad things, shouldn't he find out the price Shao Zizhuo offered?
There are two bosses in front of you. One asks you to do bad things, pays you little, doesn't provide food and accommodation, and has an unknown personality. The other one can easily take out 50 million in working capital for you, not only provides food and accommodation, but also gives you a card with no limit, and tells you that your normal expenses will be charged from this card. Except for not being very talkative, he has a stable personality. Please, as a worker, she knows what is more important!
Dedicated to a good boss! Guan Shanyue suddenly felt a sense of protection for Shao Zizhuo: "Then what is the relationship between this person and me, and what is the relationship between this person and Shao Zizhuo?"
System crash: "Sorry, this involves the main storyline and requires you to explore it on your own."
Well, it doesn’t seem to matter who the stupid supporting character with so few screen time is.
The most important thing is to get through this month smoothly and never make the boss angry. If the boss goes back on his word and doesn't provide food and accommodation, and then you get electrocuted by the system, where will you go to seek justice?
The boss’s mood comes first, and anything that makes Shao Zizhuo unhappy must not happen.
So, no matter who this little fool is, she cannot fulfill her wish and go home with Shao Zizhuo.
Shao Zizhuo walked over and glanced at Guan Shanyue, who was biting her hand in thought. "The group's public relations department will follow up on this matter. I have something to do at home, so you should come back with me."
As luck would have it, I was just thinking about how to tell Shao Zizhuo! Guan Shanyue quickly pulled out the text message and handed it to Shao Zizhuo: "No, someone I don't know sent me a text message. I can't go back with you."
Shao Zizhuo took it doubtfully and read it quickly. He looked at the phone number and it seemed like he had seen it somewhere before.
He entered the phone number into his mobile phone, and a recent call record popped up immediately. He suddenly felt like laughing. How could he not change his number when doing bad things?
Such a stupid villain posed no threat from beginning to end.
Guan Shanyue in front of him glanced furtively at his phone. He suddenly felt like teasing her. He raised his lips and stared at Guan Shanyue with a dark look in his eyes: "You don't know this person?"
Guan Shanyue shook his head honestly: "I don't even have his phone number saved, so I really don't know who he is."
"But you two seem to be very close."
Guan Shanyue sighed, "You might not believe this, but because my parents passed away, and my family's company went bankrupt, I suffered from traumatic stress and forgot a lot of things." She looked into Shao Zizhuo's eyes lovingly and lied, "Everyone has forgotten, except you."
"That's because the diary was all about you. I only remembered it after reading it. But I really forgot all about these inexplicable people."
"The heaven and earth can bear witness to my feelings for you!" Guan Shanyue used almost all the lines from the romance dramas he had seen in his life, and he managed to express some truth in the corny words.
Shao Zizhuo cleared his throat and interrupted her, "Don't tell me about your inner journey. Pack up your things and come home with me."
"Oh, okay." Guan Shanyue breathed a sigh of relief, but then retracted it halfway. Something was wrong. "It's already like this, and I'm still going back?"
"Yeah." Shao Zizhuo smiled playfully.
When the car drove into a green area in the city center, passed through the automatic copper gate, and took another ten-minute drive through a garden covering more than 100 acres and planted with large areas of exotic and expensive flowers and plants, the building complex occupying half of the mountain appeared before our eyes, stretching as far as the eye could see.
Guan Shanyue gasped. Wow, Shao Zizhuo's family is so rich they even have a villa in the heart of the city! If only I had sponsored a few more schools, I'd have made a killing!
She calmed down her hatred of the rich and secretly decided to use Shao Zizhuo's card to do some charity work and transfer some money to save. After all, every man has the responsibility to live a good life!
As soon as he got off the car, a middle-aged woman in a light yellow nanny uniform came up to him. She looked around Shao Zizhuo, wiped the tears from her eyes, and said with a smile, "Master, why are you thinner again? Didn't you eat well?"
Shao Zizhuo also laughed: "Auntie Wu, no, it's just that this dress is slim-fitting."
Guan Shanyue stood obediently aside. Aunt Wu looked at her again, her eyes full of surprise. She clapped her hands and hurried back to the house: "Miss Wangshu, why are you back? Oh, the young master didn't tell me in advance, and the yam and glutinous rice cake you like hasn't been made yet. But the ingredients are ready. I'll make it now and it will be ready in a moment!"
Mistaken again. Guan Shanyue smiled as usual and was about to explain when a voice came from the side: "Auntie Wu, she is not Wangshu, her name is Guan Shanyue."
Aunt Wu was stunned, and her eyes fell on Guan Shanyue again. She looked at him carefully for a while. The eyes of this man were rounder and softer, and his face was rounder too. No, it really wasn't, it was just a little similar.
Will this make the young master's girlfriend angry and run away?
Wu Ma knew she had broken her promise, and her face was filled with guilt. She was almost crying. "Oh, I'm sorry, Miss Shanyue. I'm old, and my eyesight is not very good. Please don't take it to heart." She lowered her head and slapped her mouth in frustration. "I spoke too quickly!"
Guan Shanyue hurriedly stopped her: "It's okay, it's okay. I have a common face and people often mistake me for someone else."
Shao Zizhuo's expression froze slightly for a moment.
Aunt Wu didn't dare to say anything more and took the two of them into the house.
As the two of them stepped into the restaurant, the four people at the table all looked up, each with a different expression.
Someone asked in confusion: "Wangshu?"
Wu Ma, standing by, closed her eyes and refuted the rumor with a fearless attitude: "This is Miss Guan Shanyue."
Three of the four people changed their expressions.
Guan Shanyue observed calmly.
A little girl sat alone on the left, looking absent-mindedly at the food on the table.
The white-haired old man sitting in the main seat was stern and looked exactly like Shao Zizhuo. He stared at him intently, his face filled with displeasure. To the right was a white-haired old woman, her eyes unfocused on Guan Shanyue, and she looked dazed and helpless.
The most striking expression was that of the middle-aged woman next to the old woman. She had a gentle, docile face, tinged with a hint of bitterness, like the heroine in a melodrama who has endured hardship for half her life but remains gentle and uncomplaining. But suddenly, hatred and resentment, a faint hint of complacency, appeared on her gentle face. After a moment, these emotions faded, and she was once again the gentle and miserable heroine.
The emotions are too rich. Could she be the one who sent the text message?
It’s so exciting, let the storm come even harder!
Guan Shanyue was interested in watching the fun and followed Shao Zizhuo to sit next to the little girl.
Shao Zizhuo sat down and said, "This is my girlfriend Guan Shanyue. If nothing goes wrong, she will become my fiancée in the near future."
The eyes of the whole table were focused on him. Guan Shanyue gave a mechanical smile as a barely acceptable response, and he felt a cold sweat in his heart. My goodness, why didn't Shao Zizhuo go over the script with me in advance and just started the performance straight away?
The little girl said with a mixture of relief and embarrassment: "Congratulations, Brother Zizhuo."
Shao Zizhuo nodded politely: "Thank you."
The others seemed stunned and no one responded.
Shao Zizhuo raised his chopsticks as if no one was around, picked up a piece of braised pork and placed it in Guan Shanyue's bowl. He then took a piece for himself, took a bite and said, "Mrs. Wu's cooking skills are still so good after all these years."
He was met with silence in response.
Shao Zizhuo raised his eyes cynically and asked with a smile, "Why aren't you eating, Grandpa? Is the food not to your taste?"
The old man at the main seat was filled with rage. He slammed the table with his palm, and the food on the table flew three feet high. Guan Shanyue leaned back to avoid being splashed by oil.
The old man pointed at Shao Zizhuo, his fingers trembling with anger: "Unfilial son, you unfilial son! Now that you have grown up, do you think you can make such a fuss about your marriage?"
The old lady frantically pressed his finger down, patted his heaving chest, and comforted him with a bit of complaint: "Niuniu is still here, can you control your temper? Can't you just say it nicely? The child is making a fuss, and you follow suit."
The little girl named Niuniu swallowed her saliva at the table full of food, clicked on her phone a few times, called up an alarm, and answered the ringing alarm in front of Guan Shanyue: "Ah? Mom sprained her ankle? I'll be right back."
Niuniu stood up embarrassedly: "Grandpa Shao, Grandma Li, I'm going back first. My mother twisted her foot."
The old lady became anxious again: "Niuniu, I haven't seen you for a long time. Today I specially invited you to our house for dinner. I remember that you especially loved the food cooked by Wu Ma when you were a child. Today's dishes are all made according to your childhood taste. Why don't you finish eating before leaving?"
Niuniu implicitly refused: "Today's situation is special, I may have to leave first. I will go to your house with my mother to apologize another day, and then we can come back to taste Wu Ma's cooking."
Lin Wan quickly sent someone to pack two meals: "Niuniu, it's time for dinner. Pack some and take it back to eat with mom."
While they were confronting each other, they were also seeing off guests. The host, guests and nannies were running around everywhere, and the meal turned into a mess!
Guan Shanyue took advantage of the chaos to scoop a few spoonfuls of Meiling porridge.
Since it's such a mess, let's drink it while it's hot.
