Sitting next to the old lady, Li Yu kept talking to the old lady in a low voice. The old lady was very concerned about him and devoted all her attention to him.
Li Yu naturally also liked the old lady who cared about him very much. While dealing with the old lady's concern, he ate the food under the old lady's concerned eyes.
But in the midst of his busy schedule, Li Yu quietly raised his eyes a few times to observe Zhen Jiabao who was watching the performance with a childish face. Seeing that she didn't eat much food but was very interested in the performance, she pursed her lips and smiled.
The old lady saw all of Li Yu's performance in her eyes, and a gleam of understanding flashed in her aged and wise eyes.
In the second half of the banquet, Li Yu stopped chopsticks. Since the beginning of the banquet, he has been surrounded by the care and love of the old lady and other elders, but Li Yu is a boy in his early twenties after all, so these The only way for the elders to express their kindness to him is to add vegetables to his bowl.
Although the banquets of rich families do not practice the habit of serving each other's food, they just ordered the servants to add food to Li Yu's bowl, which made Li Yu a little unbearable, so he put down the chopsticks halfway through the meal. Blushed and waved his hands.
"I really can't eat it."
While talking, Li Yu sneaked a glance at Zhen Jiabao, but seeing that Zhen Jiabao's eyes were still on the stage and didn't give him even a little, Li Yu's face immediately became a little disappointed.
The old lady saw all this in her eyes but didn't say anything, she just smiled and interrupted other people's concern: "I know you love the child, but this concern is not in a day or two, so I want to keep this child Take care of me by my side for a period of time, our family will not worry about not getting along with each other in the future."
As soon as the old lady said this, everyone at the main table smiled and nodded, but Li Yu took a peek at Li Zhiming's expression, seeing that he didn't show any dissatisfaction or even flattered, so he was relieved.
The old lady joked with the others at the main table: "Look, I have to keep such a big child here for a few days and I have to watch his father's face, this temper... If there is a girl he likes in the future, it won't be too late. Suffer."
The old lady's words seemed to be casual, and the people at the main table laughed and passed away, but Li Yu's face suddenly changed for a moment, and then he silently lowered his head.
But Zhen Jiabao's attention was only on the performance on the stage, and he didn't know anything about what they said at the main table or what was hidden in their hearts.
……
Zhen Jiabao was very eager to leave after the banquet, but it didn't work out—the old lady specially waited for a little time between the two programs and sent an invitation to Zhen Jiabao—inviting her to accompany the banquet after the banquet. She talked together.
The old lady's expression was kind. Today was the first time Zhen Jiabao saw the mother of the head of the Qin family. Before, she only knew that she kept thinking about her daughter after she got Alzheimer's disease, so she felt very sympathetic to this elderly mother.
Although Zhen Jiabao now knew about the old lady's restoration of her memory, her sympathy persisted, and she agreed to the old lady's invitation without saying a word.
When Li Yu heard that the old lady was going to talk to Zhen Jiabao alone, her expression became a little weird, but the old lady patted him with a smile.
"And you, the child, just stay by my side and don't go anywhere."
Li Yu rolled his eyes, but he nodded obediently without saying anything.
Li Zhiming was overwhelmed by those who came to toast. Even though he had tempered his drinking capacity in the business field, he still couldn't bear it. Before the banquet was over, he was supported by the servants of the Qin family.
Li Yu was worried that Li Zhiming would insist on following his servants to send his father to the guest room. The old lady saw that Zhen Jiabao had no interest in the banquet, so she took them out of the banquet.
The head of the family, Qin Shan, was watching at the left and right banquets, so nothing could go wrong.
Li Yu helped Li Zhiming in the front, and Zhen Jiabao and the old lady walked slowly behind. Although Zhen Jiabao and the old lady of the Qin family had never met before, there was a strange sense of separation, and it didn't look like a few people walking together unexpected.
"Miss Zhen, I wonder how old you are this year?"
The old lady walked beside Zhen Jiabao with a smile and asked casually.
Zhen Jiabao took the old lady's question as the most common concern, and answered with a smile.
"I'm 22, Grandma Qin."
The old lady didn't seem to have thought that Zhen Jiabao was still so young, so she looked at her sideways in surprise.
"I said, when I saw you today, I felt something was wrong. It turns out that you are about the same age as Xiaoyu - I heard about you from my son, and I thought why such a witty and brave girl should not have a few years of work experience. , but it turns out that you are still so young."
The old lady's eyes narrowed with laughter, and she couldn't hide her admiration for Zhen Jiabao.
"What a good boy. I was not as good as you when I was your age."
The old lady stopped at the door of the corridor leading to the guest room and looked at the backs of Li Zhiming and his son, sighing vaguely in her tone.
Zhen Jiabao didn't understand what the old lady meant by leaving her behind to say these words. Zhen Jiabao didn't know anything about the Qin family's past and didn't intend to inquire about it, so she just declined her compliment.
"You're joking. I'm nothing more than a small skill. If Mr. Qin hadn't listened to me patiently, I wouldn't have been able to do anything about it."
While being humble, Zhen Jiabao thought in his heart that if Qin Shan didn't listen to his advice at that time, he and Li Zhiming and his son would have to find a way to appear in front of the old lady and play the emotional card.
Fortunately, it didn't develop to that point, Zhen Jiabao felt emotional, standing beside the old lady watching Li Yu walk out after installing Li Zhiming in the guest room.
Although the old lady was old, she insisted on not using crutches because her legs and feet were still good. Zhen Jiabao guessed that the old lady must have been quite strong when she was young, and she felt even more fond of it.
After Li Yu came out of Li Zhiming's guest room, he trotted to the old lady's side in a hurry, and very naturally put his arm around the old lady's arm to support her, and the old lady's face burst into a smile.
"I don't think the three of us should go back to the room. Why don't you just take a walk after dinner, and go to my garden on the left and right, without being disturbed by others."
The old lady was supported by Li Yu while discussing with Zhen Jiabao.
After Zhen Jiabao agreed, the old lady nodded slowly, and Li Yu beside her was inexplicably nervous.
Although Li Yu and the old lady met for the first time yesterday, since the meeting, the old lady has shown full affection for Li Yu, and after remembering the past, she has devoted all her love to him, so in Li Yu In my mind, the old lady is a full-fledged loving old man.
But I don't know if it's his illusion, Li Yu always feels that the old lady's emotions are a bit complicated, at least not as pure as she is with herself.
Li Yu, who had other thoughts in his heart, couldn't figure out the old lady's attitude, and he didn't feel that the old lady knew the secret thoughts in his heart now, so he was just worried about Zhen Jiabao.
"Xiao Zhen—is it okay for me to call you that?"
There was nothing wrong with the old lady's face, she asked Zhen Jiabao for advice with kind eyes, and only after Zhen Jiabao nodded, did she continue talking.
"Actually, I heard my son tell you about your identity yesterday. He said that you are smart, brave, smart, and smart. When I saw you today, I realized that what he said was not half false. You are a good match for the children of the Helian family."
The old lady praised Zhen Jiabao as soon as she came up, which made Zhen Jiabao a little confused.
The old lady ignored Zhen Jiabao's doubts and the trembling of her grandson who was supporting her, and continued to speak.
"It's just that since you have shown such great favor to my Qin family, as someone who has been here, I have to advise you that it is not so easy to gain a foothold in Helian's family."
The old lady seemed to be infinitely worried about Zhen Jiabao's future, and even sighed slightly.
"It's not that my old lady is talking nonsense. I really know how many dirty things there are in our family. If you don't have a reliable natal family, it's really difficult to handle."
The old lady went on and on, and then she got to the point: "You have been kind to my Qin family, and we will naturally repay you for your kindness. If you don't dislike it, I think it's better to take advantage of your presence. , let you and my grandson recognize a sibling, and if you have any difficulties at that time, you can naturally use my Qin family name-of course, my idea is definitely not to rely on Li Yu to help our Qin family. It's just a suggestion."
Li Yu was listening to the old lady's fluent words, and was so shocked that he didn't know what to say.
Although Zhen Jiabao declined the old lady's suggestion that she and Li Yu recognize siblings, she was still very grateful for her worry.
The old lady had no choice but to take the two of them back to her room, but at the gate of the courtyard, she ran into Qin Shan who was anxiously looking for the old lady.
It turned out that relatives of the old lady's natal family came to visit after the family banquet. Qin Shan sent someone to invite her but could not find the old lady, so she ran over in person.
The old lady originally wanted to bring Zhen Jiabao to her yard to have a heart-to-heart talk, but since her mother's family has come, it's not easy for Zhen Jiabao to meet them together.
"Then Grandma Qin, I'll go back first."
Seeing the hesitation on the old lady's face, Zhen Jiabao took the initiative to say goodbye to them. Although Qin Shan felt that Zhen Jiabao was in a relaxed mood when he said goodbye, he didn't think too much about it.
On the contrary, Li Yu, who had been supporting the old lady all the time, had a particularly ugly face, which made Qin Shan look at him several times strangely.
"Then grandma and I..."
Li Yu originally wanted to leave with Zhen Jiabao, but was grabbed by the old lady.
"These are also your relatives, and you will meet them in the future. Why don't you get acquainted with them first today. There are also people in my natal family who have developed in S City. It won't hurt you to meet them."
Although the old lady's tone was soft, she didn't allow Li Yu's objection. She took him by the hand and took him to the yard. Li Yu watched Zhen Jiabao and them nodded slightly, then turned and left, almost following her eyes. Zhen Jiabao left together.
The old lady gave Li Yu a look of resentment, and was reluctant to hit him, but if Li Yu was allowed to go on like this, it would not work, it would be a headache.
This appearance of Li Yu somehow reminded the old lady of Qin Sang who had to be with Li Zhiming back then, no matter how dissatisfied she was, she could only take it slowly.
After all, Zhen Jiabao already had a family now, and it was He Lianquan who even the Qin family didn't dare to provoke - the old lady didn't think Li Yu had the slightest possibility.
Li Yu naturally also liked the old lady who cared about him very much. While dealing with the old lady's concern, he ate the food under the old lady's concerned eyes.
But in the midst of his busy schedule, Li Yu quietly raised his eyes a few times to observe Zhen Jiabao who was watching the performance with a childish face. Seeing that she didn't eat much food but was very interested in the performance, she pursed her lips and smiled.
