Looking at Xing Nian's evil smile, Jiang Shiyi showed a suspicious expression and muttered, "Why do I feel that all you say is bad news?"

Xing Nian raised his eyebrows and urged, "Choose quickly."

"Then listen to the good news first."

Xing Nian continued, "The good news is that An Ran is attracted to you."

When Jiang Shiyi heard this, his pupils suddenly dilated. He quickly turned to look at Xing Nian, and his hand unconsciously rested on Xing Nian's arm.

"Hey, senior brother, don't touch my arm, I'm driving." Xing Nian reminded.

"Are you serious?" Jiang Shiyi asked in disbelief.

"Really? More real than Pearl. I tested her today, and her reaction when she almost fell just now shows that she is really attracted to you." Xing Nian answered affirmatively.

When Jiang Shiyi heard this, the corners of his mouth almost stretched to his ears. He was completely immersed in joy and forgot about the bad news.

"Brother, there is still some bad news I haven't told you yet. Don't be happy too soon." Xing Nian reminded.

"It doesn't matter, as long as the good news is true." Jiang Shiyi said nonchalantly.

"Then let me tell you, the bad news is that An Ran herself is not aware of it, and she has never thought about it that way at all," said Xing Nian.

Jiang Shiyi waved his hands nonchalantly: "What's that? Anyway, I'm the one pursuing her, she doesn't need to take the initiative."

"Brother, I hope you can keep this confidence. However, as your junior sister, I still have to remind you," Xing Nian said seriously, "Besides An Ran herself who doesn't know, she also has an open boyfriend and a brother who opposes her dating. Although I believe you can deal with her boyfriend, you have to be careful with her brother."

Jiang Shiyi smiled nonchalantly and said, "Take your time. Sooner or later, I will win the approval of my brother-in-law."

Xing Nian couldn't help laughing: "Brother, we haven't even started yet, and you're already calling me brother-in-law."

At this moment, Xing Nian's cell phone happened to ring. It was Mu Huaichen calling.

"Niannian, where are you now? Grandma asked us to go back for dinner tonight." Mu Huaichen's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"I just sent An Ran back to school and was about to go home. Do you need me to pick you up?" Xing Nian responded.

"No need, I still have some work to finish here, you go over first." Mu Huaichen said on the phone.

"Okay." Xing Nian agreed and hung up the phone. She turned to Jiang Shiyi and said, "I'm going to my grandparents' house later. What are your plans?"

Jiang Shiyi thought for a moment and said, "I'll go with you. As your in-laws, since the two masters can't come, I, as your senior brother, should go and visit them."

"But as your family, we have to bring some gifts. We can't lose face."

"Indeed, but grandpa and grandma are not short of money." Xing Nian nodded, "How about giving them your health-enhancing pills?"

Jiang Shiyi's eyes lit up: "Good idea, let's do it."

Afterwards, Xing Nian drove to the Mu family's old house. After arriving, she parked the car and found that Mu Huaichen's car had not arrived yet, so he must be on the way.

At this time, Mrs. Mu was standing at the door, waiting for Xing Nian with great anticipation. As soon as she saw her get off the car, Mrs. Mu quickly stepped forward and hugged her tightly.

"Granddaughter-in-law, grandma misses you so much. You haven't been here for a long time. Come and let grandma see if you have lost weight." Grandma Mu was full of love.

Xing Nian turned lightly a few times in front of Old Lady Mu and said with a smile: "Grandma, I'm not thinner, but more beautiful."

Jiang Shiyi, who was watching this scene, felt very relieved. This wealthy old lady was completely different from what he had imagined. She was so kind and amiable, and had no airs at all.

He secretly felt fortunate that his junior sister had married into a good family, so at least he didn't have to worry about the relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

Old Mrs. Mu was still immersed in the joy of meeting her grandson's wife for the first time when she discovered that there was a strange man traveling with her.

Old Mrs. Mu had never seen Jiang Shiyi before. At this moment, she looked Jiang Shiyi up and down with a wary look on her face.

"Niannian, who is this?" she asked, with a hint of curiosity and confusion in her tone, "Why did he come here with you?"

Xing Nian introduced with a smile: "Grandma, this is my senior brother. He came to Kyoto specially to see me. I heard that he would come to the old house today, so I brought him to visit you and grandpa."

When she heard that it was Xing Nian's senior brother, Mrs. Mu's expression immediately eased, and she put on a warm smile: "So it's Nian Nian's relative, please come in."

She stroked Xing Nian's hand gently and said with a hint of reproach: "Child, why didn't you tell me in advance that Senior Brother was coming to visit so that I could make some preparations."

Xing Nian explained: "Grandma, Senior Brother is not particular about trivial matters. He won't care about these things."

"That won't do," Mrs. Mu insisted, "Since you are a guest in our family, especially your relative, we must treat you well." After that, she warmly invited Jiang Shiyi into the house and immediately told the servants to notify her husband.

Looking at the figure of Old Lady Mu busying around, Xing Nian secretly laughed in his heart.

Jiang Shiyi also stepped forward politely and bowed slightly to greet Mrs. Mu: "Hello, grandma, I am Jiang Shiyi, Xing Nian's senior brother."

"Well, the young man is really handsome." Mrs. Mu responded and led him into the house. "I'm so sorry for not preparing anything in advance. Please forgive me for the poor hospitality."

As the three of them stepped into the old house, they happened to see Mr. Mu slowly walking down from upstairs. When he heard the servant informing him that Nian Nian's senior brother had come to visit, a loving smile suddenly appeared on his face.

"Nian Nian, you are here."

Seeing this, Xing Nian hurriedly went to Mr. Mu, who was supported by the servants, and asked with concern: "Grandpa, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

Old Master Mu waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's just too intense. Just take it easy. Look, I'm fine now, aren't I?" As he spoke, he deliberately took a few more steps in front of Xing Nian to show that he was fine.

Seeing that Mr. Mu walked steadily, Xing Nian felt relieved.

Mr. Mu turned his gaze to Jiang Shiyi and said to Nian Nian gently, "This is your senior brother, right? Come on, don't stand, sit down and talk."

Jiang Shiyi stepped forward politely and said respectfully, "Grandpa, hello, I am Jiang Shiyi." Then he gently placed the gift he brought on the table.

Mr. Mu's smile faded slightly, and his tone became serious: "You are Nian Nian's senior brother. I should have been more considerate when we first met. I didn't expect it to be so hasty. If you don't mind, we can find a time to welcome you."

Jiang Shiyi quickly responded: "Grandpa, you are too polite. I came here without saying hello in advance. Please forgive me if it was abrupt."

At this moment, Jiang Shiyi restrained his usual casualness and appeared exceptionally solemn, making Xing Nian beside him think that he was a different person.

Several people sat around on the sofa chatting. Old Mrs. Mu stood up and went to the kitchen, followed by Xing Nian.

In the kitchen, Xing Nian assisted Mrs. Mu in cutting fruit. As she was cutting, she asked with concern, "Grandma, how is Grandpa doing recently? Is he feeling unwell?"

Old Mrs. Mu smiled kindly and replied, "Good child, don't worry. Your grandfather is just old and not as healthy as he used to be. He occasionally has some minor illnesses and pains. The doctors at home have checked them out and there are no major problems."

Despite what Mrs. Mu said, Xing Nian still couldn't help but worry: "Grandma, if anything happens to you and Grandpa, you must tell us as soon as possible. Huaichen and I are very concerned about your health."

These words warmed Mrs. Mu's heart. She gently stroked Xing Nian's face and said with a smile, "My dear granddaughter-in-law, grandma knows. Don't frown, it won't be pretty."

Xing Nian's brows relaxed instantly. She took her grandmother's hand and walked out of the kitchen carrying a fruit plate.
