I loved you once, the sun and the moon bear witness

Seeing the phone number on the screen, Liu Ying couldn't help being slightly taken aback.

It was Shang Lin's grandma calling.

Liu Ying actually didn't want to answer grandma's call, because she had nothing to do with Shang Rin now, and she didn't want to get involved with his family.

However, when she thought of all the kindness her grandma had done to her in the past, she still couldn't bear it, so she picked up the phone.

"Grandma, what can I do for you?"

"Xiaoying, grandma celebrates her 75th birthday today, and would like to invite you over for dinner, do you like it?"

On the other end of the phone, grandma's tone was still very kind, as if she really regarded her as a family member.

Liu Ying suddenly felt a little embarrassed:

"That's it, grandma, then I wish you a happy birthday. I'll send you a gift. As for the meal, you and your family can eat it. I won't go there."

When grandma heard this, she immediately became anxious on the other end of the phone:

"How can I do that, Xiaoying? Grandma celebrates her birthday, and I don't want to see anyone else, but you. Since grandma is the birthday star, why don't you just promise grandma?"

Liu Ying didn't expect her grandma to say such a thing, and it was difficult for her to answer for a moment.

She really doesn't want to have any more contact with the merchants now, but grandma... She knows better than anyone that grandma loves her, and she really loves her from the bottom of her heart.

Liu Ying was in a dilemma for a while: "Grandma, I..."

Grandma was so anxious that she was about to cry: "Son, if you don't come, grandma's birthday will be incomplete. If you don't come, grandma won't have this birthday."

Liu Ying didn't expect that this little old lady would ask Liu Ying for her birthday like a child.

Liu Ying had no choice but to bite the bullet and coax:

"Grandma, don't be like this, then I'll think about it, okay?"

When the little old lady heard this, she immediately knew that there was hope, so she intentionally wronged her and said:

"Xiaoying, I haven't seen you for a long time. I have a bad appetite recently and my health is not very good. I don't know how many days I can live as an old woman. I just want you to come and say a few words with me, As long as you can come over, it will be better than any panacea for me."

Liu Ying didn't expect grandma to think highly of herself so much that she would talk about it.

So she had no choice but to agree:

"Okay then, grandma, I'll come over to celebrate your birthday."

Hearing Liu Ying's words, grandma was as happy as a child on the other end of the phone:
"Okay, okay, grandma, let the kitchen cook some of your favorite dishes quickly, come here quickly, grandma is waiting for you!"

Grandma happily hung up the phone.

Holding the phone, Liu Ying looked at the gray sky, feeling a bit dumbfounded for a while.

It wasn't until she hung up the phone that she thought that she should have asked grandma who was celebrating her birthday with her at night, and Shang Lin would be there too, right?
She said she didn't want to see Shang Rin again, but now she promised grandma to go, doesn't it seem that she doesn't take her words seriously?

But after thinking about it, grandma is so old now, she is indeed living less and less in this world every day, grandma has begged her so much, she can't go, it really can't be justified.

After thinking about it, Liu Ying decided to go there.

She specially went to the mall to choose a set of festive clothes for grandma as a gift, and then took a taxi to the merchant's old house.

When Liu Ying arrived there, she found that the old house was decorated with lanterns and festoons, and it was a joyous scene. The servants were busy coming in and out, and the scene looked extraordinarily joyful.

Liu Ying walked in with the gift she bought, probably grandma had greeted the butler in advance, the moment the butler saw her, he greeted her with a smile and hurriedly beckoned her in.

As soon as Liu Ying walked into the hall, she saw that slender and familiar figure from the back.

He was still dressed in a black suit. The well-tailored suit made him slender and straight, with a dignified temperament, which stood out from the crowd and was particularly eye-catching.

With his back to her, he was helping grandma trim the branches of snow willow. The snow willow in the bottle bloomed just right, clusters of small and white flowers bloomed, and one cluster just protruded from his right shoulder.

The people and flowers standing side by side, coupled with the antique background of the old house, set off the gentleman of Shang Lin Yuyu, just like the elegant and noble son who came out of the ancient house, exuding a proud temperament in every gesture...

Liu Ying's heart throbbed uncontrollably.

She suddenly remembered that year when she saw him for the first time, he was standing under the big locust tree in the campus, the tree was full of locust flowers, and the petals fell on his shoulders. Wearing a suit-style campus uniform, with a book under his arm, he was talking and laughing happily with others.

At that time, she was stunned, as if seeing the stunning beauty in this world, her heart couldn't stop beating, and the blood in her whole body was coagulated for it.

After many years, his facial contours are tougher than before, and his facial features are more profound, but his figure has remained good, with little change.

However, it has been a long time since Liu Ying stared at him as carefully as before...

She was lost in unconsciousness, but at this moment, a sharp voice came from behind:

"Why did you come here? Is this where you came from?"

It was Zhu Renhe's voice.

Liu Ying looked away in an instant, and her thoughts returned to reality in an instant.

She turned her head and saw Liu Qin holding Zhu Renhe's arm, and the two walked in through the door like a mother and daughter.

Liu Qin was wearing a gleaming white evening dress. This grand attire seemed to be attending some grand banquet.

Liu Ying's complexion became very cold in an instant, and she was just about to answer, but at this moment, the determined voice of the little old lady came from behind her:

"I invited her here! Zhu Renhe, pay attention to your attitude towards guests!"

As soon as grandma finished speaking, Liu Ying suddenly felt warmth in her arm. It turned out that grandma was holding her arm and standing firmly by her side.

Zhu Renhe's arrogance suddenly fell by two points:

"Mom, it turned out that you invited me, well, then pretend I didn't say anything."

"Grandma, I wish you a happy birthday, with blessings like the East China Sea, and a longer life than Nanshan!"

Liu Qin handed out her gift box first, and said to grandma with a smile.

Liu Ying had sharp eyes, and she immediately noticed that the gift Liu Qin gave was a certain brand of high-end clothing for the elderly. She had also seen this store in the mall at the time, but she weighed her wallet and chose another brand. .

Liu Ying's hand holding the clothing bag subconsciously shrank back.

But in the next second, she suddenly felt that the weight in her hand was lighter, and then, a loud and magnetic voice rang in her ears:

"Grandma, Xiaoying also bought clothes for you, it's your favorite brand, take a look."

Liu Ying was taken aback suddenly.

She turned her head in an instant, and just in time, she met those eyes that were shining like obsidian...
