Shen Rongrong looked at Mr. Chen. Both his posture and temperament exuded uprightness and majesty. He was inexplicably similar to Mr. Yu, who was also a soldier. She nodded with red eyes and followed him into the ward.

There were strangers in the room, but grandma was the only one she knew well. However, grandma didn't want to pay any attention to her.

"First of all, I want to thank you." Chen Guozhong took out the lunch box, opened it on the small table, and motioned for her to sit down. "The old lady told me that she was very happy that you accompanied her these days. And... the doctor at the hospital did not think the problem was serious and recommended conservative treatment. It was you who insisted on a thorough examination. Now the results are out, and there is a high possibility that the condition has worsened. The doctor said that fortunately it was discovered early and the risk of treatment is very small. All of this is your credit. According to the rules, you should kneel down to repay the favor of saving your mother."

Shen Rongrong didn't dare to sit down, she just called out in confusion: "Dad..."

"..." Chen Guozhong frowned when he heard the word "Dad". After a while, his brows relaxed and he continued, "Regarding the marriage issue, I will be honest with you. Our Chen family originally wanted you."

"Me?" Shen Rongrong raised her eyes, not understanding what he meant.

"Mr. Shen and my father were comrades-in-arms when they were young, and they were close friends. He was seriously ill in his later years, and he made plans for his granddaughter early on. He wrote to my mother to discuss the marriage, saying that he was worried that his lazy and greedy children would make it difficult for you to marry and ruin your life. If you really were not destined to be together, please let us take care of you. But the letter was delayed for some time, and when we saw it, your grandfather had already passed away. On the day the matchmaker went to propose marriage, your father said that there was only one daughter in the family, so he decided to marry your sister. We just found out that the Shen family actually has two daughters, and you were the one raised by Mr. Shen."

The original text did mention it once, saying that the reason why a red family like the Chen family was willing to propose marriage to the Shen family was because the Chen and Shen families were old friends, and Grandma Chen specifically asked to marry the granddaughter of the Shen family. As a result, she was seriously ill and was hospitalized on the night of her grandson's wedding. She passed away peacefully after handing her grandson over to her granddaughter-in-law.

No wonder Chen Yan said that it was grandma who insisted on marrying into the Shen family. So this is what happened.

"I have no objection to you marrying into my family, so it's only a matter of time before you call me dad. The key is..."

As Chen Guozhong was talking, Chen Yan was so anxious that she jumped up and down: "Dad! We can't agree to this! I went to their village to ask, and everyone said that her fiancé caught her sleeping with a man at home! That's why he wanted Shen Yueying! Our Chen family can't suffer this loss! There is something wrong with her style! No matter who's granddaughter, she won't do it!"

"That's enough." Chen Guozhong glared at her and scolded her in a deep voice: "Children should not interrupt when adults are talking!"

Chen Yan closed her mouth and hugged her mother and muttered, "Anyway, I don't agree. Mom..."

Chen's mother, Guan Hanyu, didn't say anything. She just pulled her daughter's hand and looked at Shen Rongrong with her cold eyes, which made her feel cold.

Guan Hanyu's father was also a senior military officer. Although she did not hold an official position in the military, she worked in the local government and cultural departments for a period of time when she was young.

Although she was already middle-aged, the years had not left many traces on her face and she maintained a good figure. She sat there gracefully and beautifully, showing the dignified temperament of someone from a military family.

"Go on." Chen Guozhong brought the topic back: "Let's not talk about or look at things before marriage. The key point is that Comrade Chen met your sister on a blind date last time, and recently... he may not have much time to come back, but the marriage report has been submitted and approved, which means... you may meet for the first time at the wedding. If he doesn't like you, there will be some problems with the marriage. Can you accept it?"

Shen Rongrong nodded seriously: "I can. I can take a beating."

"Uh." Chen Guozhong suddenly laughed and waved his hands: "No, no, you can't hit people. If he dares to hit you, I - cough, dad will help you beat him. I'm just afraid that he won't want to, and then you may have to find a way to coax him... My little Chen is straightforward and honest, but he is also a little stubborn. Once he admits something, no one can change it. If you can't coax him... we two old people can't force you, do you understand?"

"I understand... Dad."

"Okay, the food is cold." Chen Guozhong took the initiative to smooth things over and told his wife, "Hanyu, come here and sit down to eat."

Guan Hanyu stood up, sat down at the small table with an indifferent look on his face, and divided the chopsticks...his eyes were so cold that they were almost frozen.

Shen Rongrong took a breath and took the initiative to speak: "Mother-in-law...let me do it?"

"Don't call me mother-in-law." Guan Hanyu glanced at her unhappily, and after another burst of depression, she directly covered her heart with her hand: "I'm so angry, I want to go out and calm down."

"Then I'll accompany you."

Old Chen followed, and soon Guan Hanyu's angry shouting was heard from outside.

"Do you think there is such a thing? The matchmaker specifically asked how many daughters they had, and they said they only had one! That Shen Yueying pretended to be gentle and gentle before, and fooled me around, but in the end she said that our family gave too little betrothal gift..."

Shen Rongrong was a little afraid to respond because of the coldness and arrogance shown by Chen's mother, who had a chattering personality in the original text... Only now did she realize that she was holding it in.

"My brother is a man of integrity! He would never want a woman who has had an ambiguous relationship with a man before marriage!" Chen Yan also echoed and glared at Shen Rongrong: "Wait until my brother comes back! I will tell him all the dirty things you have done! Let's see if he will marry you! Humph!"

After saying that, he took his lunch box and went to the corridor to eat.

Only Shen Rongrong and grandma were left in the room.

Grandma was still very angry with her and just stared out the window without saying a word.

"Grandma..." Shen Rongrong forced a smile and took the initiative to coax her: "How does it feel to be a grandma?"

"What grandma? Who is your grandma?" Grandma didn't even look at her: "Don't think I'm old and confused. You are bullying me because I love you and I owe you something."

"No way."

"No?" Grandma turned around and pinched her face with her hands: "Look how ugly your smile is! I just want to know, it's only been a few days, who has taken your soul away, and why do you have to marry into our family to gamble on this?"

"This..." Since they were all family, Shen Rongrong didn't want to hide it anymore, so she sniffed with red eyes: "That's it... the gentleman who took you to the hospital when you were sick that day... he was also a soldier, and he was killed by my sister who leaked military information! I will never let her marry into the Chen family and live a comfortable life!"

The grandmother never expected this to happen, but she remembered that she fainted when she saw her grandson come in. It was her grandson who took her to the hospital, and the medical record was signed by her grandson.

After some speculation, the old lady asked tremblingly: "Who did you say died?"
