"You know, losing your mory and becoming like this—your daughter Suisui is so adorable. You used to like her so much, holding her gently for fear she might slip, cherishing her like a treasure. You used to want nothing more than to spoil your wife and daughter to the skies, so what happened now?"
Quan Jin: "..."
He was unaware of these things.
"Oh well, so things said over the phone don’t stick. It’s a waste of my breath; I might even lose my dentures. Better to talk in person, I’ll co back tomorrow," Yu Rujin said.
Quan Jin picked up the hourglass, stood up, and placed it on the bar.
He poured himself a glass of water but didn’t drink it, responding earnestly to the person on the other end, "Okay, Grandma, what ti is your flight tomorrow? I’ll pick you up at the airport."
"You should ask your Fifth Uncle, he booked the tickets." With a son around, Yu Rujin never had to manage her travel itineraries herself.
Quan Jin raised an eyebrow at the ntion of Fifth Uncle: "Is Fifth Uncle still in Sui City?"
"Yes, he is. Recently, Yuanyuan clinched a big deal with Junshan Group; I asked your Fifth Uncle to lend a hand, support Yuanyuan a bit."
"Oh, really," Quan Jin said with a hint of teasing humor, "I never thought your ever-so-demanding Fifth Uncle would be so kind-hearted. Always after profit, what’s he after now... Maybe soone?"
Your teasing was obvious, finishing with: "What is he aiming for this ti, couldn’t possibly be... soone?"
Yu Rujin got angry hearing this: "You rascal, that’s your wife."
Quan Jin’s smile faded, and his voice returned to its previous nonchalance: "Fifth Uncle is past the age for career and wealth, he should treasure what’s in front of him. Opportunities are rare, after all."
Yu Rujin directly hung up the phone.
Quan Jin looked down at his phone. Seeing that Grandma had hung up first, he chuckled, still unable to understand why Grandma cared so much about that woman.
It’s said that in so countries, there’s a type of black magic.
Could it be that at so point, that woman secretly cast black magic on Grandma? It’s not impossible, and Quan Jin was even starting to believe it.
He drank the glass of water he had poured earlier and saw a ssage from Su Boqian. He opened it.
He had been invited several tis, hearing that there was sothing fun found recently, and since he was back in Yanjing, he kept being invited.
Quan Jin wasn’t in the mood to play, but suddenly he felt like going.
...
The next day.
After spending more than twenty days in Sui City, despite the reluctance, Yu Rujin had to return to Yanjing. If she didn’t go back, with no one holding down the fort, things would get ssy back ho.
Getting up early, she resisted several tis the urge to go upstairs to see if Suisui was awake.
She was afraid once she saw Suisui, she wouldn’t want to leave.
Fu ca over: "Old Madam, the car is ready."
"Alright, I’ll say goodbye to Yuanyuan before I leave."
After a pause, Yu Rujin looked at Fu and asked, "And Fifth? Did he return to Hai City?"
Fu said, "Yes, Fifth Master returned to Hai City last night. According to his secretary, Fifth Master still has a business trip planned. The Old Textile Factory redevelopnt project across that side has been reported to the governnt, requiring Fifth Master’s personal approval. After that, there will be an onsite inspection, so he should be tied up for a while."
Upon hearing this, Yu Rujin nodded: "This Old Textile Factory project was ntioned to by Fifth before. I rember it’s been reported for so ti. He postponed the approval because of the collaboration between Yuanyuan and Junshan Group, and now he rushed back to handle it. Naturally, ti is tight."
"Fifth Master is very attentive to Miss Gu’s affairs," Fu said.
Yu Rujin glanced at Fu: "Your intentions are quite obvious, keep it in check."
Fu chuckled, "I wouldn’t ntion this in front of others or Miss Gu, only say it to you, Old Madam."
"That’s good."
Sounds ca from the hallway, soone was coming downstairs.
Yu Rujin looked up to see Uncle Xiang coming down with a small twenty-inch suitcase.
Once Uncle Xiang reached the ground floor, he pulled up the extension handle and wheeled the suitcase over to Yu Rujin, politely greeting, "Good morning, Old Madam."
Yu Rujin nodded, her gaze falling on the twenty-inch suitcase Uncle Xiang was wheeling: "What’s this?"
Uncle Xiang explained, "Miss Gu said she’s been busy with work these past few days and couldn’t free herself. Now that she finally has so ti off, she plans to take Miss Suisui along to Yanjing with you, Old Madam."
Upon hearing this.
Yu Rujin, who was initially downcast about returning to Yanjing and not seeing her granddaughter-in-law and great-granddaughter, imdiately bead with joy.
