In front of Grandma Su Xin, it was inconvenient for Shenzui to say too much. Besides, he had no intention of pursuing what happened last night.

After all, he was at fault in the first place. Even if Su Xin didn't cheat, even if he did something, he deserved it.

"I'll call Shaoyu and ask him. Grandma will be anxious if she can't find the key."

Seeing the embarrassment on Su Xin's face, Shen Zui deliberately changed the subject.

Su Xin was stunned for a moment and quickly stretched out her hand to stop him, "No, let me fight."

Although last night's secret could no longer be concealed, if Shen Zui made this call, then he and Mu Shaoyu would have completely broken up and there would be no turning back.

"Okay, then you come."

Knowing what Su Xin meant, Shen Zui didn't force it.

Su Xin took a deep breath, took her cell phone, and quickly retreated to the door.

Mu Shaoyu was chatting with a very important client at this time. When he saw Su Xin calling, he quickly answered the call without thinking.

"Miss Su, what's the matter?"

Su Xin hesitated for a moment and asked him tentatively, "Mr. Mu, I lost a key my grandma gave me. I want to ask if I left it in your car?"

"The key? I'm not sure. After I got home last night, I went upstairs to sleep. Is this key important to you?"

After hearing what she said, Mu Shaoyu asked cautiously.

"Well, it's very important. There are things in it that my grandma wants to give me."

Nodding, Su Xin answered truthfully.

Hearing this, Mu Shaoyu quickly stood up from his chair, "In that case, I'll go downstairs and help you look for it. Don't worry, maybe the key is left in my car."

"Thank you in advance. When you find it, send me a message and I'll go get it."

After hearing what he said, Su Xin said with gratitude.

Hearing this, Mu Shaoyu said intentionally, "No, I have nothing to do today. I will find him later and send him directly to the hospital."

As he spoke, he quickly hung up the phone without waiting for Su Xin to speak.

After hanging up the phone, Mu Shaoyu looked at the very important customer next to him with an apologetic look.

"Mr. Fan, I'm really sorry. I have something important to deal with. Please wait a moment. I'll be back soon."

This Mr. Fan can be regarded as one of Mu Shaoyu's big clients. Every year, he handles lawsuits ranging from [-] million to tens of millions.

Seeing that he could even ignore such a big client for the sake of a woman, Mr. Fan suddenly asked with a face full of gossip, "Lawyer Mu, I think you seem to be very unusual with this Miss Su? She can't be you Girlfriend, right?"

Mu Shaoyu pursed his lips and explained, "Mr. Fan, you are overthinking. We are just ordinary friends."

"Really? But I see that your attitude towards her is very unusual. Are you sure something good is not coming soon?"

Seeing that he refused to admit it, Mr. Fan joked again with a smile.

Hearing this, the corners of Mu Shaoyu's lips curled into a helpless smile.

"Some people, even if they miss just one step, will be doomed to make mistakes for a lifetime..."

He did not deny that he was indeed somewhat attracted to Su Xin.

But at the same time, he knew that Su Xin was Shen Zui's wife, a forbidden area that he could not touch no matter what.

So maybe, all he can do in this life is to stand aside and guard silently, right?

……

After talking to Mu Shaoyu on the phone, Su Xin did not go back immediately. Instead, she stood at the door and observed quietly for a while.

Shen Zui, probably because he was afraid that the old man would be worried, was sitting on the bedside, chatting with Grandma Su Xin.

He is a very charming man. With just a few words, he can make the elderly smile and look very harmonious.

Seeing this situation, Su Xin's lips unconsciously raised a smile.

In fact, after all, apart from Shen Zui lying to her, he did really well in other aspects.

If he could keep treating her like this in the future, she wouldn't be able to forgive him.

……

After Mu Shaoyu went downstairs, he found a somewhat rusty key in the storage basket of the trunk.

He picked up the key, took a picture of Su Xin, and asked her if it was this one.

Su Xin saw the picture and quickly replied.

Mu Shaoyu got a positive answer, and without any nonsense, he drove straight to the central hospital.

Half an hour later, Mu Shaoyu came to Grandma Su Xin's ward with the key.

Su Xin didn't want him to meet Shen Zui, so she just sat on the chair at the door and waited.

Seeing Mu Shaoyu appear, she hurriedly rushed forward to greet him.

"Mr. Mu, thank you for your hard work. In fact, you can just call and ask Shen Zui to pick it up."

After taking the key, Su Xin deliberately reminded Mu Shaoyu.

When Mu Shaoyu heard this, he was stunned for a moment, "Has Shen Zui come to the hospital too?"

"Well, he already admitted to me about his legs this morning. I wanted to give grandma a surprise, so I brought him here with me."

Hearing this, Mu Shaoyu understood Su Xin's intention.

"I understand. By the way, I still have some matters to deal with in my office, so I won't go in to say hello to Shenzui. When you see him, tell him for me."

"Okay, then walk slowly and pay attention to safety on the road."

Seeing that he was about to leave, Su Xin quickly responded politely.

After Mu Shaoyu left, Su Xin took the key and turned back to the ward.

When grandma saw that she had finally taken the key, she motioned to Su Xin to help her up.

After Su Xin helped her grandma sit up from the bed, she asked her deliberately, "Grandma, what kind of family heirloom is in this box that makes you miss it so much?"

"It's not a family heirloom, but it is related to your life experience."

Grandma glanced at her, and then used the key to open the box in her arms.

After opening the lid of the box, Su Xin lowered her head and looked inside.

On the top layer of this box is a delicately made but somewhat old baby swaddle, with a red cloth bag underneath.

Grandma Su Xin took out the red cloth bag and opened it layer by layer, revealing a mutton-fat jade pendant inside.

This jade pendant is in the shape of a chilong, but it has been cut in the middle. It looks like a mother-child jade split in two.

The texture of the jade pendant is quite good, transparent and round, and exudes a warm and delicate luster when the sun shines on it.

"Grandma, this is..."

Seeing this jade, Su Xin asked in surprise.

Grandma Su Xin glanced at her and explained with a sigh, "This jade pendant belongs to you. When I picked you up, you were wearing this jade pendant around your neck."

When Su Xin heard the words "pick it up", she was completely stunned.

Even Shen Zui next to him was not aware of the old lady's words and was so shocked that he was speechless for a long time.

"Grandma, do you mean that Su Xin is not a biological child of the Su family?"

After coming back to his senses, Shen Zui asked cautiously.

Grandma Su Xin nodded, and then put the jade pendant into Su Xin's hand.

"My youngest son was injured when he was young and could not have children. That year I went up the mountain to pick jujubes and picked up a child in the grass. I took her home and gave her to my second son's family to raise. Over the years, I have been raising her. I didn't tell Xinxin because I was afraid that she would be sad if she found out. But now that I don't have much time left, and the second child's family is no longer here, I just thought that if she could find her biological parents, she would have a reborn relative. This way I can feel at ease."
