Under Gu Jinlan's surprised gaze, Shu Yi walked straight to her with a smug smile on his face.

"Gu Jinlan, you didn't expect to see me here, did you? What a coincidence."

Gu Jinlan pulled the corner of his lip.

Really didn't expect that.

That day at the Shi family, in front of everyone, Grandma Shi’s attitude was even more resolute than Shi Ye’s.

Is it because she had been ill and had given birth to a child that Grandma Shi wanted to replace her as her granddaughter-in-law and let Shu Yi take her place?

The people Shi Ye cares about most are Grandma Shi and Ranran.

If Grandma Shi changed her mind, Shi Ye should also be shaken, right?

"Why are you here?" Gu Jinlan asked.

Shu Yi said, "Mrs. Shi's precious little great-grandson is my son. Isn't it normal for me to be here?"

When Gu Jinlan heard Shu Yi mention Shi Xingran, his expression became even darker.

She stood up and stared at Shu Yi with cold eyes, "I warned you yesterday not to get close to Aye and Ranran again, but it seems you didn't listen."

"Hahahahahaha..." Shu Yi suddenly laughed.

Facing Gu Jinlan's threatening eyes today, she no longer felt the uneasiness she had yesterday.

It's like someone has backed him up.

Shu Yi said arrogantly: "Gu Jinlan, no matter how capable you are, no matter how much Aye and Ranran like you, you can't beat me."

"Ranran is my son. Just for this reason, you will always be a loser in front of me!"

Gu Jinlan clenched his fists.

No matter how Shu Yi jumped around in front of her before, she remained unmoved.

But Shu Yi ignored her warning, which completely angered her.

"Want to eat people? But what's the point of being angry? If you have the ability, you can give Aye a son."

Shu Yi had a provocative look on his face, as if he was deliberately provoking Gu Jinlan.

If Gu Jinlan attacks her here, Old Madam Shi will know who is bullying whom between the two of them!

Gu Jinlan narrowed his eyes, saw through Shu Yi's thoughts, suddenly smiled, and loosened his clenched fists.

"Why should I be angry? You should be the one who is angry. You worked so hard to give him a son, and you planned for many years, but in the end, the son just called me mom."

"Gu Jinlan, you!" Shu Yi scolded, "You are shameless!"

"Ms. Shu!" Sister Lan strode over and glared at Shu Yi with a dark face, "This is the Shi family! Please be careful about your words and actions!"

Shu Yi was stunned for a moment, then quickly smiled and said, "Sister Lan, I lost my composure just now. I will be more careful next time."

"Please come back."

"Okay, I'll come visit my aunt some other day."

Shu Yi glanced at Gu Jinlan, then turned and left.

Sister Lan made a gesture to Gu Jinlan, "Young Madam, please come this way."

Gu Jinlan withdrew his gaze and followed Sister Lan all the way to the glass greenhouse.

Old Madam Shi usually likes to grow flowers and plants, and the glass greenhouse is filled with precious and delicate varieties.

After bringing Gu Jinlan here, Sister Lan left.

At that time, the old lady was trimming the withered flowers and did not pay any attention to Jin Lan.

Gu Jinlan stood by and waited quietly.

Seeing the old lady struggling to hold her waist when she stood up, she hurried forward to support her, "Grandma, from now on, let the servants do this kind of thing."

"I don't trust others to do it." Madam Shi put down the pruning shears in her hand, "I am old now, I have to admit my age."

Gu Jinlan helped Madam Shi sit down.

Madam Shi picked up the teacup and took a sip, then looked at her, "Why did you come alone today? Where are Xiaoye and Ranran?"

"I just happened to be doing some work nearby and came to see you without telling them."

"Oh..." Madam Shi nodded, "I thought you came to see me alone because you wanted to tell me something."

"No...no, I just want to see you." Gu Jinlan smiled faintly.

That day, after hearing her conversation with Aye in the study, her grandmother left without saying goodbye.

She guessed what Grandma Shi must be thinking, and seeing Shu Yi here just now made her guess more certain.

Originally, she came here today to have a good chat with Grandma Shi.

But at this moment, she didn't know where to start.

Suddenly I felt that there seemed to be nothing to talk about.

She had been sick and had given birth to a child; these are facts and cannot be explained.

The greenhouse fell into silence. No one spoke. Only the sound of old lady Shi sipping tea could be heard.

After a while, Gu Jinlan spoke to break the silence.

"Grandma, I have some work to do over at Blue's place. I may have to go there in a few days. I don't know how long I will be busy, so I wanted to come and see you. Do you have any jewelry you like? I'll bring it back when the time comes."

If she could come back.

In the past, when blue was mentioned, the old lady's eyes would light up and she would be very fond of it, but today she seemed to have no interest.

She just smiled faintly and said, "Blue's products are so in short supply, there's no need to give me convenience. I'm an old woman anyway, and it's a waste to wear beautiful jewelry."

"How can it be a waste? Some jewelry can only be worn by people who have accumulated years of experience and show their elegance. Young girls can't hold it together and it will look tacky."

"Lanlan, you really know how to make me happy."

The old lady took a deep breath and her smile seemed a little helpless.

"Grandma, I'm telling the truth. I'm not trying to please you with sweet words." Gu Jinlan said sincerely.

The old lady seemed to be in a better mood. She put down the teacup in her hand and said, "Sit down and talk."

As soon as Gu Jinlan sat down, she heard the old lady ask, "Did you see Shu Yi just now?"

"Ah."

"Don't think too much about it, we were just chatting casually."

"No." Gu Jinlan shook his head.

"Lanlan, grandma has something to tell you from the bottom of her heart."

"Okay, you say."

"Since Xiaoye was born, his parents ignored him. I raised him by myself."

Gu Jinlan listened carefully.

She had been with Shi Ye for a few months, and not only had she never met Shi Ye's parents, she had never even heard Shi Ye mention them.

Some of the secrets of wealthy families are taboo, so she never asks Shi Ye.

This is the first time I heard someone mention Shi Ye's parents.

Madam Shi continued, "Xiaoye has lacked love since he was young. I once thought that he had no ability to love and might be single for the rest of his life, until he met you. It was as if he suddenly became aware of love."

"You are the first girl he likes. He treats you differently from other girls."

Gu Jinlan nodded, "Yeah, I know."

Although she takes feelings lightly, she is not heartless.

She saw and felt how good Shi Ye was to her.

Madam Shi nodded slightly, "It's good that you know. Usually in front of Xiaoye, I always side with you and don't allow him to bully you."

"But Lanlan, there is no such thing as one-sided love in this world. Once a person has been giving for too long and has emptied himself out, he will have nothing left to give."

"So I hope you won't let Xiaoye down."
