“Well, we’ll cross that bridge when we get to it.”
Ye Qianqian’s voice grew softer as she spoke. She looked at Shen Zhilie’s expression. She stuck her tongue out before saying, “My sister was one part of your family. You know very well how your grandmother treated her. I just think that I have to be more careful.”
Shen Zhilie felt infuriated and tickled at the same time. He retorted, “How is that even the same thing? My brother and your sister had a bad relationship. That relationship should never have progressed into marriage! How can you pare our situation with that of my brother and your sister?”
“Why not? By the way, will your grandmother disapprove of me when she finds out that I am Ye Youyou’s sister?”
“No.” Shen Zhilie drove steadily and slowly said, “I’ve already told Grandma about you. She knows who you are.”
“Really?”
“Of course! Did you think I’d take you home to meet my family just like that?” Shen Zhilie seemed very satisfied with himself. He looked at the front of the car and slowly turned a corner.” My parents are all at home and have been wanting to meet you. Don’t be nervous. Just talk and act as you normally do. Don’t be shy. My grandmother and mother are easy to get along with. My dad may be a little more serious, but he’s also pretty easygoing.”
“What about your older brother?”
“My brother is not at home. It doesn’t matter. Even if he was home, you don’t have to care about him at all. He doesn’t know you anyway. He may just feel that you look a little like Ye Youyou.”
“Heh…” Ye Qianqian uneasily laughed. “You underestimate the relationship between your brother and me. Have you forgotten that I almost got into a fight with him?”
At Ye Qianqian’s reminder, Shen Zhilie recalled the incident.
When Shen Manting had disappeared, the enmity between Shen Luo’an and Ye Qianqian had been pretty strong.
Although the matter had been resolved in the end, it was inevitable that things would get awkward if the two of them met.
Shen Zhilie smiled and asked, “Are you sure you can defeat him? This guy may look weak, but he does possess some moves.”
“If that’s the case, are you able to defeat him?”
“Me?” Shen Zhilie laughed. “Of course I can defeat him! If I were to lose to him, that would make me a weakling.”
“Didn’t you say that he’s got moves? What bullsh*t!”
“What he has is more than enough to deal with you.”
“Why should he deal with me? If he wants to, he should go against my man!” Ye Qianqian spoke matter-of-factly.
The smile on Shen Zhilie’s face widened. He nodded and said in approval, “You’ve finally gotten it.”
“I didn’t exactly buy anything particularly special. Will your mother and grandma feel that my gifts are too shabby?”
“What did you buy?”
“I bought some skincare products for your mother. It’s some Creme de la Mer. I don’t know much about it, but I heard that my mother used it often and it’s effective. I brought ginseng for your grandmother. The ginseng was given to me by my father. It’s said to be over a hundred years old. I brought a bottle of liquor for your father. My dad made it and said it was aged for over a century.”
Shen Zhilie was surprised and glanced at her. “Do you have all those things in your suitcase?”
“Plus a clean set of clothes. I didn’t bring much else.”
“What about me?” Shen Zhilie raised his eyebrows slightly. “Where is my gift?”
