At the same time, the sounds of laughter and the smell of smoke could be heard from the huge Fu residence.

"Auntie, that's dangerous, let me do it, you just sit outside."

When He Miaoran saw Shu Manlan holding a knife and preparing to cut the meat, she hurried over and took the knife from Shu Manlan.

Shu Manlan looked at her and smiled, "It's nothing."

He Miaoran disagreed, turned around and said to Shu Manlan with a faint smile: "Auntie should enjoy her life in the living room, playing with her grandchildren..."

When she realized what she had said, He Miaoran immediately turned her head and said, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have mentioned the past and made you remember the sad things."

Shu Manlan said nothing, patted the back of He Miaoran's hand, and said with emotion: "It's not easy for you either."

She walked out of the kitchen and came to the living room. She opened a drawer under the TV and took out a photo that was already frightening. Looking at the person in the photo, her eyes quickly turned red.

After a while, she raised her head, forced back her tears, and then looked carefully at the person in the photo again, caressing him gently and whispering, "My grandson, are you doing well now?"

Twenty minutes later, the two Fu brothers met at the intersection of the villa.

Fu Yijian got out of the car, looked at Fu Yiming who was leaning against the car body, and called out, "Brother."

Fu Yiming flicked the ash off his cigarette, raised his eyelids and watched Fu Yijian walking towards him.

He said calmly: "I asked, and the servant said that a young woman came to the house."

"What woman?" Fu Yijian asked with a frown.

Fu Yiming glanced at him calmly and asked, "How many young women are on good terms with our mother?"

Fu Yijian thought about it. Apart from Tao Xinxin who had been sent abroad, it was just...

"Sister-in-law?"

Fu Yiming took a puff of his cigarette and looked at him without saying anything.

Fu Yijian immediately changed his words and said, "He Miaoran?"

He could tell from the expression on Fu Yiming's face, frowned, and asked, "What is she doing here?"

Ever since He Miaoran inexplicably confessed her love to him, Fu Yijian has been trying to avoid her if he can, and would just stay away from her if he can't.

This time He Miaoran suddenly came to their door and contacted Shu Manlan. The two Fu brothers didn't know what her purpose was.

"It has nothing to do with us."

Fu Yiming threw away his cigarette butt and asked casually, "Have you told Ruohuan about this when you got home?"

He has always been worried that his younger brother would be careless and ignore Ye Ruohuan's feelings, thus hurting their relationship.

This is just right, don't separate again because of any misunderstanding.

Fu Yijian came back to his senses, "She did, but she didn't know He Miaoran was there too."

Fu Yiming said solemnly: "Explain it carefully when you go back, and don't let there be any misunderstandings."

Fu Yijian nodded, "Yeah, I know."

Five minutes later, the two Fu brothers appeared at the gate of the Fu family mansion.

When the servant came in to report, Shu Manlan was sitting in the living room, and He Miaoran was busy in the kitchen.

Shu Manlan quickly stood up and looked at the two brothers who walked in from outside the door. They had similar faces but different demeanors.

She looked at her two gifted sons with pride. As a mother, she has always been proud of her sons' achievements.

"Why did you come back together?" Shu Manlan looked at the two brothers coming in and out together in surprise.

Fu Yiming answered casually: "We met at the door."

Then he walked into the living room, and just as he sat down on the sofa, someone came out of the kitchen.

He Miaoran saw the two brothers come in at the same time, and she greeted them happily: "Yijian, Yiming, you are back?"

This greeting was like the intimacy between family members, which made the two brothers look slightly unhappy.

Fu Yiming lowered his head to drink tea and ignored him. Fu Yijian glanced at him, then looked at He Miaoran in surprise and asked, "Why are you in my house?"

He Miaoran didn't know whether he said it intentionally or unintentionally, but this sentence made everyone present look embarrassed, but Fu Yiming curled the corners of his mouth.

When Shu Manlan heard this, she immediately spoke to He Miaoran: "She is my...former daughter-in-law. She came to see what happened to me?"

Fu Yijian explained: "Mom, that's not what I meant, but you asked me to come back with my brother tonight...is it necessary?"

Shu Manlan looked at her little son who obviously made her unhappy, and said angrily: "If you don't want to come back, don't come back to this house in the future!"

Seeing that Shu Manlan was really angry, Fu Yijian quickly comforted her: "Mom, don't get angry and get yourself hurt..."

He Miaoran also ran over when she saw this, and said to Shu Manlan, "Auntie, calm down. You don't have to speak for me. I'll leave right away."

When Shu Manlan heard this, she immediately grabbed her hand and said domineeringly: "You are not allowed to leave! If you want to leave, then..."

"Okay." Fu Yiming said the second sentence after entering the room. He had the dignity of a patriarch. He glanced at his unreasonable mother, then signaled his younger brother with his eyes and said, "Let's eat."

Shu Manlan stopped arguing, took He Miaoran's hand, and walked towards the dining room, saying softly: "Miaoran, you stay at home tonight and accompany me well..."

Fu Yijian looked at the two of them walking away arm in arm with complicated eyes. He had never thought that his mother would almost push her own son away for an outsider.

Fu Yiming stood up, and knowing what his brother was thinking at the moment, he patted his shoulder and said comfortingly, "Don't take it to heart."

Then, he frowned and looked at the yellowed photo on the table again.

He had seen the photo since he walked in and sat down.

He didn't know whether this was intentional on his mother's part or an unintentional act that triggered certain memories.

No matter which one it was, it gave him some kind of warning.

When the two brothers arrived at the dining room, they happened to see He Miaoran bringing out food from the kitchen.

Shu Manlan looked at these home-cooked dishes with satisfaction and praised them: "Miao Ran's cooking skills are better than before."

Then she said to the two brothers, "Miao Ran went to the supermarket to buy ingredients and cooked this meal for you."

Fu Yiming had a calm expression on his face and didn't react much, and Fu Yijian didn't want to talk at all.

When Shu Manlan saw that the two brothers didn't care about what she said, the smile on her face froze for a moment.

Seeing this, He Miaoran immediately tried to smooth things over by saying, "It doesn't look very good. I'm sorry to make you all laugh."

Shu Manlan's smile reappeared on her face, and she said, "It's okay, it's okay, as long as you have the intention."

She asked He Miaoran to sit next to her, and Fu Yijian took a look, walked a few more steps, and sat next to Fu Yiming.

When He Miaoran saw his action, the smile on her face paused for a moment, but quickly recovered.

During the entire meal, only He Miaoran talked to Shu Manlan, and the two brothers didn't say a word.
