Nianyang cleared her throat, squatted in front of the old Mr. Chu, and blinked, saying, "Grandpa Chu, I just scared your granddaughter. Are you mad at !"
The muscles on old Mr. Chu’s face had softened a lot after a few days of dication, allowing him to make expressions that others could understand.
Hearing Nianyang’s question, he imdiately pulled the corners of his mouth with effort, his wrinkled face curving into a smile, his eyes full of "I’m not mad, not at all!"
As long as you like it, I like whatever you do!
Nianyang understood old Mr. Chu’s aning, smiled widely, and said, "Grandpa Chu, thank you for understanding . I wasn’t trying to pick a fight with your granddaughter; she was too much, thinking about my partner. If I didn’t fight back, wouldn’t I just be a pushover?"
"Mm-hmm!" Old Mr. Chu nodded vigorously, giving Nianyang a big encouragent!
Nianyang softly said, "Grandpa Chu, you’re so nice. Everyone says you’re confused because you’re sick, but I think you’re the wisest person. You’re so good, so gracious; how can you have a granddaughter like Chu Huan who’s so useless? It’s really puzzling....."
"Ah ah ah..."
Silly girl, because she’s not my granddaughter at all, you are!
Nianyang held old Mr. Chu’s hand, "Grandpa Chu, I know you have things to say to . Don’t worry, we’ll take it slow. I’ll definitely cure you, let you live a long life, and restore your grandeur as a general!"

Nianyang stayed with old Mr. Chu until the evening, initially planning to leave after the Chu couple ca back. Unexpectedly, it was Chu Tianming who hired a caregiver for old Mr. Chu.
The caregiver said the Chu couple had sothing urgent in the neighboring city, and from now on, she would be responsible for old Mr. Chu’s daily care.
With soone to take care of old Mr. Chu, Nianyang felt at ease leaving and prepared to go back to the Li Family to pack her things!
But unfortunately, a sudden storm started, with raindrops as big as beans mixed with ferocious winds, creating a continuous splattering sound around.
Nianyang thought, tonight she probably has to stay one more night at the Li Family and set off for Tingyan’s private residence tomorrow.
She entered the Li Family quietly, finding the living room quiet except for the lights, with no one in sight.
The rain outside was particularly heavy, causing the house lights to flicker before finally shutting off with a snap.
Oh no, the power’s out!
As Nianyang was hesitating about what to do, a door across from her opened, and Zhang Yun ca out cautiously holding a candle.
"Nianyang, you’re back?!"
"Sister-in-law!"
Nianyang walked over and asked, "Where did everyone else go?"
Zhang Yun sighed and said, "Just after you and Tingyan left, Uncle and Aunt had another fight in the afternoon. Uncle simply took everyone out to get so air, and they haven’t co back yet. My husband has also been too busy to be ho lately."
Nianyang awkwardly touched her nose and said, "So why are you here, sister-in-law?"
"I’m pregnant, so I’ve been feeling lazy and don’t want to go anywhere. Plus, after you cured my insomnia, I can’t stop napping in the afternoon, naturally not wanting to run around. I just woke up and was about to make sothing to eat when the rain suddenly poured down like this!"
Nianyang pondered and asked, "Aunt Li should be at ho too, right?"
Zhang Yun suddenly slapped her thigh, "Oh, if you hadn’t ntioned it, I’d have forgotten. Aunt’s been in her room all afternoon without coming out, and probably hasn’t had dinner!"
