Sheng Shaochen had barely driven away to pick up Little Brother Kai when Du Shiniang stepped into the threshold of the old mansion.
"Grandma, how is Xiao Kai doing? Where is he?" Du Shiniang asked with a worried face.
"Hmph, you still know how to be anxious?" The Old Lady snorted coldly. "Shi Niang, Shi Niang, what should I say about you. For three years, three whole years under the same roof, sleeping in the same bed, and even having a son as a bond, yet you haven’t been able to win over my grandson. Are you even a woman?"
"Grandma, I..." Du Shiniang actually wanted to win over Sheng Shaochen too, but he barely gave her any chances!
"What about you?" sighed the Old Lady. "Initially, I saw how efficient you were in handling business matters, you never dragged your feet, and you were loyal to our Sheng Family, so I created such a good opportunity for you to be with my grandson. But you have truly disappointed me."
Seeing the Old Lady’s disappointed face, Du Shiniang unconsciously showed a trace of confusion. "Grandma, actually, some things really can’t be forced, like Xiao Kai and Ye Shu. How could there be such a coincidence in the world? Xiao Kai disappeared, the world is so vast, with so many people, yet he happened to meet Ye Shu!"
"What are you trying to say?" the Old Lady asked unhappily. "Are you thinking of giving up now? Are you going to just hand over the son you’ve painstakingly raised for three years?"
"Grandma, you know that many things are beyond my control when I’m with him," Du Shiniang said with a look of grievance.
"Hmph, you better not be harboring any negative thoughts. Even if you are willing to retreat, this old lady is not," the Old Lady spoke bluntly. "Let me tell you, Shi Niang, as long as I live, Ye Shu will never step foot into our Sheng Family’s door!" After finishing, she saw Du Shiniang’s gloomy face and suddenly asked curiously, "Shi Niang, tell me, have you and my grandson ever really... you know?"
Hearing this, Du Shiniang immediately felt aggrieved and tears welled up in her eyes. She had indeed been miserable, having lived in Shengjing Garden for three years and remained a widow the whole time!
"Sigh..." The Old Lady truly had not expected things to turn out this way, so she suggested, "Shi Niang, sometimes, men also need a bit of external help. Tonight, when he comes back, serve him a cup of warm milk."
The Old Lady’s words were very clear, suggesting she add something into the warm milk.
Cultural Old Street, Linlin’s Photography Studio!
At this moment, the studio was merely a prop, as there were more important things to attend to.
Sun Nanjue had already gone to register the company, while An Zhe had found a preliminary location for the company and was negotiating with the previous landlord.
Ou Linlin and Ye Shu were responsible for listing underappreciated yet talented artists, planning to approach and recruit them one by one when they had time.
Just as the two were busy, a Little Baozi with dark circles under his eyes walked in, his eyes staring intently at Ye Shu.
"Wow, where did this little kid come from!?" Ou Linlin was startled and made the child laugh out loud.
"Hey, Brother Kai? Is it really you?" As soon as Ye Shu saw Little Baozi, he immediately felt an inexplicable urge to hug him.
