President, my wife is looking for a stepfather for the young men again.

Ruan Shuyi answered the phone and walked downstairs.

Interrupted by Chu Xichen's call, Ruan Shuyi frowned and was unhappy. "What's wrong."

Chu Xichen was obviously startled when he heard her tone, "Go back to the old house to have dinner with grandpa tonight. I'll pick you up after get off work..."

I hung up the phone and sat next to Ruan Xingchen to watch TV. I haven't watched TV for a long time. The little kid was watching anime. It was quite good. I used to like watching it too and would stay up late on weekends to watch it.

"Shu Yi is back."

Stepmother Mei Xuejiao came down from upstairs and greeted Ruan Shuyi with a smile. The voice was full of concern, but Ruan Shuyi got goosebumps when she heard it. It was very unreal. Is something going on?

"Aunt Mei, what's the matter?" Usually when Mei Xuejiao talks to her in this tone, she is asking for something from her.

"What could happen to what you kid said?" Mei Xuejiao pretended to misunderstand.

"It's okay." Ruan Shuyi said calmly.

After a while, Mei Xuejiao brought out the fruit cut by Aunt Liu and placed it in front of Ruan Shuyi.

"Shu Yi, did you hear anything upstairs just now?"

Ruan Shuyi raised her eyes and glanced at her, "Aunt Mei, should I hear something?"

Stepmother Mei Xuejiao didn't answer her question and froze there with an embarrassed look on her face.

"Hahaha...it's okay, just ask."

"Mom, what's wrong with you? You've been nagging a lot lately. You'd better not hide anything from us." Ruan Xingchen said impatiently.

"You won't be defrauded of money again. Tell me what you bought this time." Ruan Xingchen was sure that something was wrong with Mei Xuejiao.

"You kid, what could happen to me? You wish something would happen to me, right? Why is my life so miserable, having given birth to an unfilial son like you?" Mei Xuejiao pretended to cry.

"Stop, stop, stop, dad is coming back soon. Stop whining. There are a lot of things going on in the company recently, so don't bother him." Ruan Xingchen was speechless. Whenever she hears her mother making noise, she gets a headache.

"You will make people angry. You are nicer to outsiders than you are to me." Mei Xuejiao looked at Ruan Shuyi.

"Why is my sister an outsider? You don't know right from wrong."

"Okay, okay, you are one of our own, and I am an outsider." Stepmother Mei Xuejiao stomped up the stairs.

"Sister, don't pay attention to her, she will cause trouble." Ruan Xingchen was afraid that Ruan Shuyi would be sad.

Ruan Shuyi smiled. Ever since Ruan Xingchen protected her when she grew up, Mei Xuejiao rarely bullied her. Xingchen followed her father and had a sense of responsibility and justice since she was a child.

Ruan Shuyi sat on the sofa in a daze. Father Ruan came back after a while.

"Yiyi is back." Ruan's father laughed.

"Dad." Ruan Shuyi took the bag from Ruan's father's hand.

"Come back and give Xingchen some study materials."

"I want you to follow me to the study." After Ruan's father said that, he turned and walked towards the study.

When you enter the study room, there are extra quilts and pillows on the bed.

"Dad, have you slept here lately?"

"Yes, I have a lot of work at the company recently, so I slept here after getting off work late." Ruan's father said unnaturally.

Recently, Mei Xuejiao has been moving around every night. She is a light sleeper as she gets older. She drinks water and goes to the toilet, making him unable to sleep. I simply slept in the study room.

"Dad, how is the company lately? Are you tired?" Ruan Shuyi saw that Ruan's father was not in good spirits.

"It's just about the 30 million, nothing was found. The money seems to have evaporated." Ruan's father frowned.

"Dad, why don't we check the people in the company, or find an agency to help check." Ruan Shuyi had doubts in her heart, but she couldn't say it directly without evidence.

"Pah..." The sound of a cup breaking was heard outside the door.

Both father and daughter stopped talking about checking the accounts.

Ruan Shuyi looked at Ruan's father and said, "Dad, have you been feeling unwell lately? I think you don't look good."

Ruan Shuyi reached out and held Ruan's father's wrist, and then her expression relaxed.

"Dad, I will teach Aunt Liu how to make some medicinal dishes later, and let her stew them for you to drink and adjust. You haven't been sleeping well recently."

"It's okay, I haven't been sleeping well lately." Ruan's father knew that Ruan Shuyi had liked tinkering with medicinal herbs since she was a child.

The father and daughter chatted for a while before going downstairs.

Seeing the father and daughter coming downstairs, Mei Xuejiao ran to Father Ruan and said, "I was going to bring you some tea, but I lost my grip and dropped the cup."

Mei Xuejiao looked at the two of them as she spoke. Fortunately, she broke the cup just now, otherwise Ruan Shuyi might have some advice for Ruan Xiangdong.

Ruan Shuyi didn't listen to her and went directly to the kitchen to find Aunt Liu.

"Dad, I'm going to have something to do and won't be able to have dinner with you. I'll come back another day."

Ruan Xiangdong looked at Ruan Shuyi and felt very distressed. He only came back for a short time every time and was not happy at home. He turned his head and glared at Mei Xuejiao.

Ruan Shuyi walked out of the door, and Chu Xichen was already waiting at the door.

"Madam." Chu Yi opened the door for her.

Ruan Shuyi smiled and nodded to Chu, "Let's take a detour to the Chinese medicine shop and buy some medicinal materials."

……

Chu Yi drove the car directly into the Chu family's old house, and Zhong Shu greeted him with a smile.

"Young Master and Young Mistress are back. The old man has been looking forward to this day."

As soon as he entered the living room, he saw the old man sitting in front of the chessboard. Ruan Shuyi knew why Uncle Zhong said he was looking forward to their return.

Seeing them entering the door, the old man's eyes burst into laughter. "You are back"

Ruan Shuyi smiled and greeted the old man, "Grandpa looks very good recently."

"Thank you for your kindness, otherwise I wouldn't be so energetic." Mr. Chu was very satisfied with his grandson-in-law.

Chu Xichen looked at the old man, "Should I kill a round first or eat first?"

"Would you like to eat first?" Mr. Chu looked at Ruan Shuyi as if asking.

"Grandpa, let's play a game first. We're not hungry yet, so don't be in a hurry." Ruan Shuyi knew that the old man wanted to play chess, so she turned around and went to the kitchen to see if there was anyone who needed help.

"Wang Ma, do you need help?"

"Young mistress is back." Wang Ma was very happy to see Ruan Shuyi.

Seeing that no one wanted to help, Ruan Shuyi asked Wang Ma about her situation and gave her the medicine she just bought.

"Wang Ma, if you take care of it for a while, it will be fine."

"Thank you, young lady. Without you, my legs would have to wear cotton pants in summer." Wang Ma was very grateful to Ruan Shuyi.

A game of chess was quickly played and dinner was served. Chu Xichen was afraid that Ruan Shuyi would be hungry, so he ended the game by giving water to the old man, otherwise the game would have gone on for a long time.

Wang Ma specially cooked some spicy dishes for Ruan Shuyi. Chu Xichen looked very happy. His little wife was very popular with the family.

It was a pleasant meal.

The phone on Chu Xichen's coffee table rang, and Uncle Zhong brought it to him.

Chu Xichen frowned when he saw the incoming call, but still pressed the answer button.

"Okay, I'll be there soon."

"Ayi, I have something to go out for. I'll ask Chu Er to pick you up and take you back to Lan Mansion." After Chu Xichen said that, he turned around and left, as if he was very anxious.
