Hearing these words, Xi Xiaye's beautiful face curved up and widened. She silently looked at Shen Yue for a while, then slowly got up, "I'll go to the kitchen to have a look."
As soon as he walked to the door of the kitchen, he smelled a seductive fragrance, raised his head slightly, and Shen Wenna's thin back came into view.
Although she is over 50 years old, Shen Wenna has taken good care of herself, and now she still looks charming, looking quite young, with a face similar to Xi Xiaye's, mother and daughter standing together, more like sisters.
"came back?"
Sensing that Xia Ye was standing behind her, Shen Wenna suddenly turned her head and glanced at her, a little gleam appeared in her cold eyes.
"Um."
Xi Xiaye responded in a low voice, then walked slowly over to wash her hands.
"School is on holiday these days, and your grandfather is also free. If you have time, you can go home and sit around more, and spend time with your grandfather. These days are enough to miss you."
Shen Wenna said while stirring the dishes in the pot.
"knew."
Xi Xiaye responded habitually.
And hearing this, Shen Wenna frowned suddenly, looked at Xi Xiaye who turned on the faucet and washed her hands silently, couldn't help but sigh in her heart—
This daughter of hers really resembles her personality, just as indifferent and as stubborn as she is.
"The day before yesterday, he went to look for me."
After thinking about it, Xi Xiaye turned off the water and suddenly made a soft sound.
"who?"
Shen Wenna withdrew her gaze, stir-frying the hot and sour potato shreds in the pot, and replied.
Xia Ye straightened up, turned around slowly, and stared quietly at Shen Wenna's slender back. After a long silence, she said lightly, "Father..."
Hearing this, Shen Wenna's body stiffened for a moment, and her movements stopped abruptly, as if she was held in place by something.
"He said that Friday is Xi Xinyi's and Han Yifeng's engagement ceremony, and he asked me to come over. He also said that grandpa is in poor health..."
…
"Whatever you decide, I won't stop you."
After a long time, Shen Wenna turned around suddenly, and looked at Xi Xiaye with dim eyes, "Xia Ye, the matter between me and your father is just because we don't know how to manage marriage and relationship, but it doesn't matter. On behalf of all people. No matter at any time, don't give up the right to pursue happiness, you are a smart child, you should know what mother means."
Hearing this, Xi Xiaye was silent for a while, then nodded, "I see."
Shen Wenna sighed softly, remained silent for a while, and then continued, "It can be seen that Mu Yuchen is a good person, Han Yifeng... just forget about him, no matter how many winds, frosts, rains and snows you have experienced, you should have a new relationship When the time comes, we still have to believe it, no matter how strong we are, we are just a woman... If there is a good person who is willing to give you care and love, why can't we accept it honestly?"
Listening, Xi Xiaye had mixed feelings in her chest. She looked at Shen Wenna and wanted to ask her, since she knew this truth, why has she been living like this all these years
When those words were about to rush out of her throat, she still held back abruptly—now, why bother to uncover these scars
She looked at Shen Wenna quietly, hesitated for a moment, and did not continue this topic, but remembered the purpose of Xi Xinyi looking for her just now.
"Mother, back then you divorced your father... Father gave you all 20% of the shares in Yueying under his name... Is that document... still with you?"
After Xi Xiaye's words fell, Shen Wenna was startled, and suddenly turned to look at Xi Xiaye, "Why did you suddenly ask about this?"
She almost forgot about it!
"Is it still with you?"
Xi Xiaye asked again in a low voice, his eyes were a bit unpredictable, making it difficult to figure out.
Shen Wenna looked at her for a while, then nodded, "It's still in my hands."
"Mother, I want the 20% equity, can you...can you sign?" Xi Xiaye looked at Shen Wenna silently with a little expectation in her starry eyes.
Hearing this, Shen Wenna paused, a gloomy flashed in her clear eyes, but her face was still as indifferent as the wind. Seeing Xi Xiaye like that, she seemed to understand something, "Did they go looking for you?"
"Mother knows about this?" Xi Xiaye asked suspiciously.
Shen Wenna stir-fried the vegetables in the pot a few times, her voice was very calm, "If you hadn't gone to look for you, you definitely wouldn't have mentioned this to me."
"Wash the dishes first, and come to my study after dinner."
Shen Wenna said this indifferently, and the conversation between mother and daughter ended like this.
After helping Shen Wenna, I was busy in the kitchen for nearly an hour, and finally made dinner, and it looked quite sumptuous.
When Miss Xia Ye came out of the kitchen with the dishes, she heard Shen Yue's joyful laughter from a distance—
"Ah Chen, your chess skills are definitely better than those of the two old fellows in your Mu Zhai. It's really rare. I didn't expect you to know how to play chess. Young people are rare nowadays, not even that girl Xia Ye. I taught you how to play chess." She has done it many times, and every time she gets halfway through, she will regret chess with you, and her chess skills are not very good, but that girl is very good at Go, she is a hidden master, even I am not her opponent... "
"Does she often play chess with grandpa?"
Mu Yuchen's deep and calm voice came, only the crisp sound of the chess piece falling into the board, "It's your turn, grandpa."
"Oh, okay, let me see where I go... I don't have too many hobbies, just like your grandma, I occasionally play chess. When your grandma was still there, I had an opponent. Once your grandma left, I would play chess." I don't have a companion, so that girl Xia Ye became my chess friend..."
Shen Yue stared at the chessboard while talking.
"Grandpa can go to Mu's house to play cards and chess with his grandparents in his spare time. Now they have all retired and stayed at home and there are no entertainment programs."
…
"Come on, we're ready for dinner!"
Xi Xiaye put the cai on the table, looked at the two chess players at the coffee table, and said calmly.
Hearing her voice, Mu Yuchen quietly turned his head to look at her, smiled lightly, and then helped Shen Yue with one hand, "Have dinner first, Grandpa."
"Okay, let's continue after dinner, don't put it away, don't put it away!"
Shen Yue said to Xu Ma who came to clean up, and then walked towards the table.
After a while, the whole family sat down.
"Grandpa seems to like you very much, you are really pleasing."
Seeing that Shen Yue on the opposite side had been calling Mu Yuchen to drink with a smile, toast, like two good buddies, Xi Xiaye couldn't help but leaned over, lowered his voice, and whispered in his ear.
