Chapter 177 I want my dearest grandma to pick me up from get off work today!
Because of Shi Xingchen's work schedule, the meeting ended in just one hour.
As soon as Lin Zhihao stepped out of the conference room, she received a text message from He's mother.
【Zhizhi, this is your grandma's phone number. Can she pick you up from get off work tonight? 193****0001】
I understand that Mother He wants me to bring my maternal grandmother home so that my maternal grandparents can reconcile, and she needs my help.
【it is good! 】
After replying to He's mother's text message, Lin Zhihao dialed her grandmother's number.
As soon as the call connected, Lin Zhihao transformed into Lin Jiazi.
"Grandma~ I'm Zhizhi."
"Oh, Zhizhi, what made you suddenly decide to call Grandma?"
The grandmother and granddaughter usually communicate via WeChat and have never made a phone call.
Did I miss you?
Lin Zhihao replied sweetly.
"Haha, Grandma misses our little Zhizhi too."
"Really?"
"Of course."
"How about Grandma picks me up from get off work today?"
"Of course!" Having never picked up her beloved granddaughter from get off work before, Chi Zhou'an agreed without hesitation.
"Okay, Grandma, see you later."
"Good~"
Because of work, the grandmother and granddaughter chatted briefly before hanging up the phone.
Having successfully arranged for her grandmother to pick her up, Lin Zhihao immediately reported the situation to He's mother.
Mother He praised Lin Zhihao.
With the New Year approaching, work is busy, and the day passes by both fulfillingly and quickly.
"Grandma~"
As soon as they got in the car, Lin Zhihao's white teeth were revealed, and her eyes narrowed into slits. He Manman followed closely behind.
"Grandma." He Manman finished her work early and went to the film set.
"Haha, okay, okay, Zhizhi, Manman, come on up." Chi Zhou'an smiled kindly and waved to the two little girls at the car door.
"hey-hey."
"whee."
"It's been so long since I've seen you, Grandma~" Lin Zhihao sat down to Chi Zhou'an's left and rubbed her face against him.
“Yeah, yeah.” He Manman sat on the right, also hugging Chi Zhou’an’s arm and rubbing against it.
"Haha, okay, okay."
Surrounded by two people acting coquettishly, Chi Zhou'an laughed heartily.
With Lin Zhihao and He Manman by their side, the car was filled with laughter throughout the journey.
They arrived at the old house quickly, and He Manman's smile froze as soon as she got out of the car.
The entire He family was gathered at the entrance of the Shen family's old residence. Upon seeing the three of them arrive, the head of the He family clan stepped forward first and shook He Manman's hand.
With a familiar and warm smile on his face, he said, "Manman is here! Oh, my precious grandniece!"
"Hello, sister~" The other younger members of the He family beside her also changed their usual expressions and greeted He Manman with smiles.
He Manman was at a loss, not out of fear, but because she had never had any contact with the He family since she transmigrated. The most she had ever had was receiving a phone call from time to time that would insult her.
She felt baffled by the comments that she was ashamed to be in the industry and that she was shameless. She also stopped answering calls from strangers.
Everyone's faces were so friendly right now, which made her a little unsure of what to do.
"What are you standing there for? We are your maternal uncles and aunts." The woman holding He Manman's wrist tightened her grip, bringing the dazed woman back to her senses instantly.
"Sigh~"
He Manman cried out softly and took a step back. Damn it, this damn woman deliberately pinched her wrist, it hurt so much!
The woman was Bao Wuyu, the wife of the head of the He family.
Seeing He Manman step back, Bao Wuyu's smile remained unchanged. She reached out and took He Manman's hand again, but the smile in her eyes did not reach her eyes.
Bao Wuyu's youngest daughter, He Jiacheng, affectionately linked arms with He Manman's wrist, looking like close sisters.
Seeing He Manman's stunned expression, He Jiacheng silently curled his lips. If He Manman hadn't gotten involved with the Shen family, she wouldn't even be worthy of carrying his shoes.
Hehe, He Manman sneered inwardly.
"Everyone, let's not stay at the door, let's come inside," Mother He called to everyone.
"Yes, yes, come inside." He Manman's mother, Xu Cen, greeted the He family with a fawning smile.
Chi Zhou'an walked in front, and Bao Wuyu let go of He Manman and moved closer to her, smiling ingratiatingly. Although Chi Zhou'an didn't show any expression, she didn't let the other person lose face.
On the main table in the living room, Old Master Shen covered his face with a newspaper, glancing at the door every now and then.
After waiting for a while without anyone arriving, I couldn't help but wonder why no one had come yet.
When Old Master Shen looked towards the door for the fifth time, he finally heard voices. He immediately covered his face with a newspaper, pricked up his ears, and paid attention to the direction of the door.
As the crowd entered, Lin Zhihao immediately spotted Old Master Shen, whose newspaper was crumpled in the main seat.
I couldn't help but laugh, hahaha.
Grandma~ I want to sit next to you for dinner today~
"Good good."
“I want to be next to Grandma too,” He Manman chimed in.
"Okay, I'll sit in the middle of you."
Lin Zhihao, who had been observing Old Master Shen, clearly saw his back straighten up for a moment.
Lin Zhihao and He Manman, arm in arm with Chi Zhou'an, sat down a little distance away from the main seat.
"Hey, Mom?"
Seeing Chi Zhou'an walking away into the distance, Shen Yuyu couldn't help but call out.
"It's okay, you sit there, I'll stay with Zhizhi and the others."
"Ahem." Old Master Shen coughed lightly.
Chi Zhou ignored him and sat down on his own.
"Cough cough."
No one paid any attention to them.
"Cough cough cough."
He Jiacheng, ever observant, handed a hot water bottle to Grandpa Shen, saying, "Grandpa Shen, is your throat sore? Have some water."
Seeing her daughter's actions, Bao Wuyu felt extremely proud and honored.
Grandpa Shen didn't react; his eyes were fixed on Chi Zhou'an, who was not far away.
But the other person didn't even respond to his glance.
"Humph!"
Old Master Shen gave a soft snort. He Jiacheng, standing beside him, froze, turning to look at his mother. 'What do we do?'
Seeing that her daughter was being ignored, Bao Wuyu said, "Haha, Mr. Shen, my daughter has always been like this. She is very thoughtful and pays attention to the health of the elders around her. For example, she brought the tea leaves in this tea today because she knows you like to drink them."
Hejiacheng blushed with embarrassment at the praise.
"Have a heart."
Grandpa Shen didn't listen at all until the other person praised his junior for being considerate, at which point he finally responded with a single sentence.
The younger generation is so considerate, unlike him, humph! All he does is cause trouble all day.
Lin Zhihao had been paying attention to Old Master Shen, and seeing the changing expressions on his face, she was secretly delighted.
Many things have patterns; you can tell a lot about a family by observing how the elders interact.
At the dinner table, everyone was waiting for Old Master Shen to start eating, but he kept reading the newspaper and showed no intention of touching his food.
Shen Yuyu nudged her father, signaling him to start eating.
Grandpa Shen ignored him.
Shen Yuyu: "..." Sigh, every time the two of them have a cold war, they both have to throw a tantrum.
Shen Yuyu gestured to Lin Zhihao with her eyes.
Lin Zhihao understood and whispered something in Chi Zhou'an's ear.
Chi Zhou'an stood up and walked to the head of the table.
