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

In fact, Liu Ying was already mentally prepared.

Zhu Renhe was upset with her not once or twice.

She pretended that she didn't hear anything, just smiled, and after entering the door, she served tea to the elders in front of her one by one as usual in accordance with the rules of the merchant's granddaughter-in-law.

After all, the business is a big family, the old lady took the tea, and everyone took the tea one by one.

Zhu Renhe had a dirty face, and she didn't want to take it, but Shang Min poked her arm and gave her a hard look. Although she was not happy, but because of the old lady's face, she still took it.

Grandma was happiest when she saw Liu Ying coming.

As soon as the tea ceremony was over, grandma immediately called Liu Ying to her side.

"Xiaoying, grandma really likes your outfit today, it looks like a lotus flower, very beautiful."

Liu Ying smiled knowingly, she walked behind grandma, and obediently beat grandma's back:

"Thank you grandma for the compliment. Grandma taught me well. Grandma said that girls should have simple and elegant makeup."

Zhu Renhe's complexion instantly darkened even more.

Everyone in the business knows that Zhu Renhe always likes to wear heavy makeup, wishing he could pile up all the beautiful clothes on his body, and the old lady just doesn't like her being so high-profile.

So for so many years, she has been displeased by the old lady, but Liu Ying, now the old lady feels very satisfied when she looks at it horizontally and vertically.

"The little girl's mouth is sweet, no wonder my Rin likes her so much. Take a look, how is my granddaughter-in-law?"

Once grandma was happy, she took Liu Ying's hand and happily introduced her to everyone.

The relatives of this group of merchants all depended on the merchants for food. When the old lady spoke like this, everyone echoed.

"Yes, yes, look at this skin, it's white and tender, it's really good."

"Young people are good, look at this foundation, you can look beautiful with just any makeup."

"Who says it's not? Xiaoying and Ah Lin are really a good match. We, Ah Lin, have a better vision."

Shang Min sat silently among a group of women, this flood of praise made him choke and cough several times.

He refrained from speaking, but Zhu Renhe couldn't bear it anymore, and Zhu Renhe immediately interrupted:

"What's so good, I haven't written my horoscope yet, so I can't be considered the daughter-in-law of a merchant."

As soon as Zhu Renhe said this, the old lady immediately raised her eyebrows:
"Daughter-in-law, are you dissatisfied with our Liu Ying?"

Zhu Renhe had already spoken anyway, and she was not afraid of making the old lady unhappy, so she said coldly:
"It's not a matter of my dissatisfaction. Look at her. She is so plainly dressed, and she is so thin. She has no temperament at all. How can she be worthy of us, Ah Lin? I see, some of you are really Blind."

Zhu Renhe didn't understand, obviously this group of people followed her in complaining about Liu Ying, why the conversation changed so quickly, and they all praised her.

Liu Ying squinted her eyes, with a proper smile on her face, even if Zhu Renhe belittled her so much, she held back and didn't say a word.

She promised Shang Rin that during this period of time he is not here, she will value peace, and if she does not have conflicts with Zhu Renhe, she will never have conflicts.

The old lady's face pulled down:
"What do you mean, isn't our Xiaoying beautiful? Then I want to ask you, what kind of vision do you have? When you were at her age back then, if you were capable or not, what else could you do besides dressing up?" .”

Zhu Renhe's face turned red and white in an instant.

When she was young, she was a lazy eater, and she was famous in Haicheng, but everyone took it to heart, and now the old lady pointed it out directly in front of her, and she was so angry in her heart.

Zhu Renhe wanted to get mad in public, Shang Min saw this and said:
"Okay, today is the holiday, so you can just say a few words. As long as my mother is happy, it's her business who she likes."

The old lady's complexion eased a little:
"It's not just me who likes it. The most important thing is that we Ah Lin like Xiaoying. Xiaoying was originally the daughter-in-law of our merchant. If you hadn't messed around, he might have two or three children by now. I, Linzi, is not too old. At this age, in my opinion, when he comes back from a business trip, the marriage will definitely be settled. As long as my old woman is not dead, I can make decisions about their affairs. "

Zhu Renhe's face turned green: "Mom..."

Shang Min gave her a hard look: "Shut up."

Zhu Renhe: "..."

Liu Ying said obediently at this time:

"Grandma, Mom is also right. I did have a lot of things that I didn't do well in the past. I will gradually correct it in the future."

The old lady said in a voice like a bell:
"Whether it is corrected or not, young people will make mistakes. You, don't be afraid of anything in the business, just be yourself and don't care what those cats and dogs do."

Zhu Renhe's face almost fell to the ground.

Liu Ying didn't expect her grandma to protect her so much that she didn't give Zhu Renhe any face. She didn't say anything for a while, for fear that the situation would become even more embarrassing.

Zhu Renhe couldn't sit still anymore, she took a deep breath to calm down, stood up and said:
"Okay, Mom, whatever you say, I'll go to the back kitchen to see if the meal is ready."

After Zhu Renhe finished speaking, she turned her head and walked out, but she couldn't help scolding in her heart:

Liu Ying, I didn't expect you to be so scheming, not only instigating my relationship with Shang Rin, but also my relationship with the old lady, you wait for me, after a while, I will still kick you out.

"Xiaoying, let's go, accompany grandma to the restaurant. Today I asked the chef to cook a lot of your favorite dishes for you, come and try them."

Grandma really liked Liu Ying so much, she held Liu Ying's hand and led her towards the restaurant.

The restaurant was crowded with respectable business elders everywhere.

The merchants are serious and have always maintained the dining habit of a table for men and a table for women.

Liu Ying was dragged by her grandma, so she naturally sat beside her.

A group of women came together to eat together, the scene was naturally very lively, it was rare for everyone to have dinner with the old lady, so naturally they all scrambled to curry favor with grandma.

In order to make grandma happy, Liu Ying not only helped grandma drink at the dinner table, but also told a few jokes, which amused everyone.

In the past, Zhu Renhe was usually the protagonist of the dinner, but this day, the protagonist became Liu Ying.

Zhu Renhe was so aggrieved that she almost burst into tears. She had worked so hard for the business, but she hadn't received a word of praise from the old lady for so many years, but Liu Ying was praised by the old lady as a group favorite.

It's not that Liu Ying didn't notice Zhu Renhe's loneliness, but on this occasion, she couldn't say anything.

After lunch, she helped the old lady to take a nap in the room. Later, under the guidance of Butler Wang, she took her to the room where Shang Lin used to live when he was a child.

The decoration style of this room is very simple and elegant, which is completely different from the antique merchant's old house. Shang Lin hasn't come back to live in it for a long time, but the old lady still gets cleaned frequently, and it looks very clean and tidy.

On the bedside of the room, there is a personal photo of Shang Lin, which was taken when he joined the army that year. In the photo, his face is still a little immature, but the handsome and majestic look that rushes to his face is still a bit overwhelming. It caught Liu Ying's eyes.
