After Zhou Guyan considerately closed the back door, he walked around to the front and sat in the driver's seat. He saw that Wei Lin was already sitting there with his seat belt fastened.

"Gu Yan, I drank today, please take me home." The tone was so natural that it didn't sound like something he had said before.

There were very few vehicles on the road, and even fewer pedestrians. Only the delivery guy passed by on an electric bike from time to time.

The car was driving smoothly on the wide asphalt road, and the trees on both sides of the road were constantly receding.

The car's glass, which had good light-blocking properties, blocked out all the yellowish light from outside the window, leaving only a little light coming through from the front row scattered to the back row of the car.

Chu Yanshu dozed off with her eyes closed sleepily, while Wang Ranran beside her had already fallen asleep with his whole body leaning on Chu Yanshu.

"We're here, get out of the car." Zhou Guyan looked back through the rearview mirror again, then lowered his voice and said to Wei Lin.

Wei Lin, who was half asleep, was awakened by Zhou Guyan's voice. He nodded in a daze, opened the car door and got out.

I raised my raised hand, ready to say goodbye, but all I could see was car exhaust.

"Okay." Wei Lin put down his hand helplessly and walked into the villa.

After a while, the car stopped again.

Zhou Guyan didn't say anything, and the car just stopped by the roadside.

Chu Yanshu seemed to have sensed something and suddenly opened her eyes. She looked out the car window and saw that she had arrived at her residential complex without knowing when.

"We're here," he said to himself.

"Thank you, Mr. Zhou." Then he got out of the car.

Only after the beautiful figure disappeared did Zhou Guyan start the car and leave.

"Jump, let's keep jumping." A voice suddenly came from the back row. Zhou Guyan couldn't help but frown, and the wrinkles between his eyebrows could kill a mosquito.

Chu Yanshu opened the door and walked into the house. The lights in the living room were still on. She saw that her mother Bai Wenyin had not gone to bed yet. She was sitting on the sofa in her pajamas. On the TV was entertainment news, which her mother did not like to watch.

Chu Yanshu knew that her mother was waiting for her.

"Are you back?" Bai Wenyin said in a light tone.

Then he stood up and walked towards Chu Yanshu.

Looking at the gloomy expression on her mother's face, Chu Yanshu thought her mother was going to scold her for coming home late or not replying to messages, and she had already prepared herself for the scolding.

"Yanshu, I'm sorry." Bai Wenyin's tone softened.

Chu Yanshu didn't expect her mother to apologize to her, and she was stunned.

Although her mother had always agreed with her in many things since she was a child, Chu Yanshu had always compromised on things her mother insisted on, just like today when the mother and daughter had a big fight over the blind date. Chu Yanshu felt that no matter what, her mother would not bow her head and apologize to her even if she was wrong in this matter.

I didn't expect my mother to apologize.

"Mom knows that I forced you to do this. I was wrong, but Yanshu, you know the situation in our family. You can't just choose your partner as you wish."

"Although you're capable, your father owns such a large company. When you inherit it, your parents hope your partner can support you in your career. We don't want you to work too hard."

Chu Yanshu lowered her eyes and listened to her mother's words without responding and remained silent.

Bai Wenyin continued, "You've been in the company for a while now, and those old foxes have been eyeing you covetously. If you take over, who knows how they'll bully you."

After all, Bai Wenyin is just a mother who cares about her daughter and has no bad intentions.

Chu Yanshu was silent for a moment. She knew that her mother's intention was all for her own good.

When Bai Wenyin saw that her daughter's expression relaxed a little, she knew that her words had worked.

"Yanshu, your father knows about this, and he agrees with what Mom did."

After hearing her mother's words, Chu Yanshu's determination completely collapsed.

Her father agreed, and Chu Yanshu knew that the company's situation might be more serious than she had imagined.

As a daughter who has always been held in the palm of her parents' hands, now that she has grown up, she should no longer be willful.

"Mom, I agree. Just let me know when you've arranged a time."

"Okay, Mom knows." Bai Wenyin responded with relief.

"Mom, I'm a little tired, so I'm going back to my room to sleep." After saying that, he went straight upstairs.

This was not Chu Yanshu's first blind date. Although she had rejected some blind dates in the past and had casually fooled some, her mother had acquiesced and did not blame Chu Yanshu.

Even though Chu Yanshu found various excuses to refuse, her mother didn't say much.

This time is different. This time it is not just a simple blind date, but agreeing to meet is equivalent to agreeing to date or even go further.

Back in the bedroom, Chu Yanshu put on her pajamas and went straight into the bathroom.

She has the habit of taking a bath. Even though it is winter now, the bathroom is well heated and she doesn't have to worry about catching a cold.

But after drinking, Chu Yanshu only ran for a while and then came out.

Perhaps the alcohol evaporated due to sweating, Chu Yanshu felt that she was much more sober now. She then realized a problem: how did Zhou Guyan know her address?

Could it be that Wang Ranran informed Zhou Guyan in advance, but he just missed it and didn't hear it? After thinking about it, this is the only reason that makes sense.

This was the first time they met, and Chu Yanshu couldn't think of any other reason except this one.

Not long after dinner in the evening, grandma called Su Ruonan on video.

When Su Ruonan heard the cell phone ringtone specially set for her grandmother, she was momentarily panicked.

She is in the hospital now, still wearing a hospital gown. If she connects to the video now, she will be unable to hide the fact that she is injured and hospitalized.

"What's wrong?" Song Shiye saw Su Ruonan's panic and asked with concern.

"Grandma is calling me via video. What should I do?" Su Ruonan looked around, not knowing what to do.

"Don't panic, I have a way." Song Shiye calmed his wife down and took out a set of pajamas from a bag beside him. Those were the pajamas that Su Ruonan usually wore at home.

Su Ruonan immediately understood what Song Shiye meant. She happily put on her pajamas over her hospital gown, checked it, and made sure that the clothes underneath were not visible. Then she chose a white wall where the background could not be seen and called her grandmother.

Grandma's weathered face was clearly presented in front of Su Ruonan at this moment, and an indescribable feeling of bitterness surged in her heart.

Su Ruonan tried hard to control her emotions, her lips trembling slightly as she whispered the words filled with longing and attachment: "Grandma"

"Nannan, why do you look thinner? Are you too tired from work?" Grandma's sharp eyes fell on Su Ruonan through the screen, and she could see the changes in her precious granddaughter at a glance.

"Well, I've been a little busy with work lately." Su Ruonan responded obediently, with a hint of guilt in her eyes.

"Although work is important, health is more important." Grandma reminded me with concern.
