Chapter 104 It’s you
Chapter 104 It’s you
Everyone's attention was drawn to Chi Zhou'an and Lin Zhihao, except for Old Master Shen, whose world had been injured.
He covered his backside, looking miserable. His wife didn't give him any face in front of the younger generation, especially since his brother's beloved granddaughter was there today. If he went back and told that old man that he had been kicked by his wife again, he wondered how he would laugh at him.
Woo woo woo.
Besides himself, Mr. Shen also has an older brother in his generation, but his health is not very good, so he was unable to attend this family banquet. Only his children and grandchildren came.
As soon as the banquet began, a girl sitting diagonally opposite Lin Zhihao kept glancing at her, making it hard for Lin Zhihao to ignore her.
Lin Zhihao narrowed her eyes, and when she saw the other person glancing at her again, she started blinking frantically.
Shen Jubei looked at Lin Zhihao, who was staring at her with a dazed expression, and couldn't help but laugh. However, the conversation at the dinner table was noisy, so it didn't attract anyone else's attention. Only Lin Zhihao noticed that she was laughing and realized that the other person was indeed peeking at her (¬_¬).
Lin Zhihao gritted her teeth, grinding them in a menacing manner, 'What are you looking at!'
Shen Jubei couldn't help but laugh and blinked gently in response to Lin Zhihao.
Lin Zhihao, who was trying to intimidate the other party: "?"
"Zhizhi? What are you looking at? Your grandma is talking to you." Shen Yuyu shook Lin Zhihao. What's wrong with this child today? She keeps getting distracted.
Lin Zhihao turned to look at her mother, "Huh?"
Shen Yuyu pointed in Chi Zhou'an's direction, and Lin Zhihao turned her head and saw her grandmother smiling at her.
Shen Yuyu offered to switch places with her, and Lin Zhihao sat next to Chi Zhou'an. "Grandma~"
"Oh, sweetie~ I heard from your mom that you've been starting a business recently. What have you been doing? Do you need Grandma's help?"
Lin Zhihao shook her head repeatedly, "No need, Grandma, I can handle it myself. I'm very capable, and my parents help me. Plus, I work hard myself. Grandma, let me tell you, I've already achieved some success."
Lin Zhihao took out a red envelope she had prepared beforehand from her pocket and handed it to Chi Zhou'an, saying, "Grandma, this is all money I earned through my own hard work. I earned it all by myself, so I'm sharing it with you."
"Oh my!" Chi Zhou'an was pleasantly surprised. She was always the one giving money to others, and she hadn't received a red envelope from anyone in a long time.
Chi Zhou'an's face was all wrinkled from laughing.
"Grandma has enough money to live on, sweetie. You can keep your money for yourself and don't need to share it with Grandma."
Chi Zhou'an returned the red envelope to Lin Zhihao, who immediately used her push-pull technique to dodge her grandmother's hand and stuff the red envelope into her pocket.
"Grandma, this is the first time I've earned money on my own, and it's also the first time I've spent money I earned myself on you. You have to accept it." Lin Zhihao pouted, looking very serious. "Besides, I'm quite the money-making expert now. When I earn even more in the future, I'll give Grandma red envelopes more often, okay?"
“Yes, Mom, please keep it. Zhizhi often talks about you. Look, this girl earned money, but I, as her mother, didn’t receive a single penny, while you did,” Shen Yuyu said, speaking up for Lin Zhihao.
When she mentioned that she hadn't received a red envelope from Lin Zhihao, she sounded a little jealous.
"Haha ...
“Hehe,” Lin Zhihao straightened her back, “Grandma, just wait and see how delicious the food and drinks are for you.”
"Haha ...
After the meal, the adults gathered together to chat and drink tea. Lin Zhihao followed behind Shen Yuyu, calling out, "Mom."
"Ok?"
"Didn't you check your bag today?" Lin Zhihao handed Shen Yuyu's bag to her.
"Why are you looking at the bag?" Shen Yuyu took the bag, opened it, and there was nothing special inside.
She looked up and saw a rose in front of her, her favorite Juliet rose.
Shen Yuyu blushed. "Still doing all this?" She reached out to take the flowers.
Lin Zhihao loosened her grip on the bottom of the rose, and a bracelet appeared in front of Shen Yuyu.
Shen Yuyu's heart skipped a beat, "For...for me?"
"Hmm~" Lin Zhihao nodded.
"I secretly put it in your bag a long time ago, you didn't even notice. You were even jealous of your grandma just now, right?" Lin Zhihao shook her head smugly.
"How about my first paycheck? Do you like it?" Lin Zhihao put the bracelet on He's mother's wrist. Although the bracelet wasn't expensive, it was a token of her affection.
Shen Yuyu's tears immediately started falling down her cheeks. "Yes, Mom likes it very much."
"Hey, why are you crying? I was just saying, I didn't mean to scold you or be jealous of your grandma." Lin Zhihao hurriedly wiped He's mother's tears with her sleeve, chuckling to herself. What if her father came over later and thought she had deliberately made his dear wife cry?
Seeing Lin Zhihao's flustered appearance, Shen Yuyu burst into laughter through her tears and hugged Lin Zhihao tightly. "Zhizhi, thank you, thank you for still being willing to be my daughter."
"Huh?" Lin Zhihao paused for a moment. She quickly recovered, "No, I should be thanking you for being my mother."
She didn't have a mother before, but now she has a mother who loves her so much. She feels that she is the luckiest one, even if this luck is stolen.
After wiping away her tears, Shen Yuyu told Lin Zhihao to go play with other children her age. Then, she took the bracelet that Lin Zhihao had given her and became a conspicuous figure among the adults.
She would extend her hand in front of everyone until someone asked her about the bracelet, at which point she would stop.
Lin Zhihao was unaware that in the days to come, no matter what clothes she wore or what activities she attended, Shen Yuyu never took off this bracelet.
After saying goodbye to He's mother, Lin Zhihao prepared to go to the backyard to play with her cousins.
In the corridor, Lin Zhihao and Shen Jubei bumped into each other, and Shen Jubei was still smiling at her.
Lin Zhihao narrowed her eyes and rushed in front of Shen Jubei in a flash, "Why are you looking at me like that!"
Looking at Lin Zhihao who suddenly appeared in front of her, Shen Jubei just chuckled softly, "Have you forgotten me? We've met before."
Lin Zhihao: "?"
Lin Zhihao thought about it seriously for a moment, then said in a drawn-out voice, "Oh~ You are that person, you are that person."
Shen Jubei stared at Lin Zhihao expectantly, wondering if she remembered her.
As a result, Lin Zhihao kept saying "that person" for a while, but couldn't say where he had seen her before.
Shen Jubei: "..." She had no more expectations.
Seeing that Lin Zhihao couldn't recall their first meeting, Shen Jubei had no choice but to offer a hint: "The bar, the restroom."
Lin Zhihao still frowned, still having no recollection of the girl in front of him.
Shen Jubei, deciding to go all the way, pinched her pinky finger and said to Lin Zhihao, "Ugh~ You're so annoying~"
Lin Zhihao: "..."
Just as he was thinking the girl in front of him was crazy, suddenly, a chill ran down his spine—he remembered!
This is the girl she caught a glimpse of in the restroom of the bar where Gu Xiuzhe works.
The memories of her dead body suddenly overwhelmed her, and Lin Zhihao abruptly looked up at Shen Jubei.
Shen Jubei's eyes lit up as she stared at Lin Zhihao expectantly, "Do you remember? Do you remember?"
Lin Zhihao suddenly took a step back and ran away.
Seeing Lin Zhihao running away, Shen Jubei lifted her leg and chased after her, "Hey, no, why are you running?"
Lin Zhihao frantically waved her arms, "I'm going to die, I'm going to die, waaaaaah, the memories of the dead are starting to hit me."
She didn't want to remember that embarrassing scene!
