While eating, Meng Yingnian couldn't help but asked out of curiosity.

"Zhizhi, you've been busy all this time. What have you been busy with? Aren't your exams over already?"

Yu Zhi's eyes flickered slightly.

"I'm not busy with anything. Didn't I tell you before that I was participating in a sculpture competition? I'm busy with that."

As Yu Zhi spoke, he continued to drink his soup, trying to cover up the embarrassment in his heart.

"By the way, don't blame me. You've been very busy lately, and you only come back after dark every day."

"Did something happen at the company? Or is there something more hectic going on at the company?"

Yu Zhi's technique of changing the subject by making incoherent remarks was really awkward.

Meng Yingnian pretended not to know and just smiled slightly.

"Yeah, but now that I'm done, things should be a little easier from now on."

Yu Zhi finally felt a little relieved.

Luckily, there's nothing to do now, otherwise I'd have to wait until my birthday...

It would be bad if he stayed busy.

"Let's go back to the old house in a few days."

Meng Yingnian spoke in a gentle tone, but Yu Zhi's hand suddenly paused.

"Why do you suddenly want to go back to the old house?"

"Grandma said we haven't been home for a long time, so she wanted to have a meal together."

Yu Zhi lowered his head.

"Okay, I understand. Let's go back together then."

In fact, in comparison, he felt it would be more comfortable to stay here.

Because here you don’t need to consider the feelings of the elders, nor do you need to think too much about those trivial things.

As long as Meng Yingnian and I are happy, that's all that's enough.

But once we return to the old house, grandpa, grandma, dad and mom are all there.

There are many things to pay attention to.

Especially Mother Meng doesn't like me very much.

"It's okay, I'll just have a meal there and then come back. I won't stay long."

Yu Zhi smiled and nodded.

"I know. I don't have any other ideas. It's okay for us to stay there for a few days."

In order to live a happier life, Meng Yingnian hasn't returned to live there for a long time.

How could he not know? How could he pretend to know nothing?

Love is mutual.

They are all considerate of each other.

Since Ying Nian has always been so considerate of me, I should of course be considerate of his difficulties.

But what Yu Zhi didn't expect was that the day he went back to his hometown for dinner was the same day as Meng Yingnian's birthday.

He was a little confused for a moment.

The gift I prepared for Meng Yingnian is already prepared, but it would be somewhat inconvenient to bring it back to the old house there.

or……

I'd better wait until I get back from there before sending it.

Yu Zhi bit his lower lip slightly.

"What's wrong? Why are you so unhappy today?"

On the way to the old house in the car, Meng Yingnian asked this question with a smile.

"No, I just thought I should come back early today. I have something I want to give you."

Meng Yingnian was stunned, then couldn't help but smile softly.

"It's okay, I'll be back after dinner."

He thought Yu Zhi was reluctant to go there, so he said that.

Started to comfort silently.

Yu Zhi nodded obediently and walked to the old house in silence.

As soon as their car stopped at the door, they saw Wen Yiying waiting for them, followed by Soso who looked very expectant.

"Uncle and aunt!"

As soon as Suosuo saw Yu Zhi get out of the car, she rushed into his arms like a little cannonball.

If Meng Yingnian hadn't been holding him from behind, Yu Zhi would have been hit by the car door.

Meng Yingnian frowned slightly and looked at the little guy with a bad tone.

"Can't you be more careful? Your aunt was almost knocked down by you just now."

Wen Yiying beside him also frowned slightly.

"Soso, you almost knocked down your aunt!"

Suosuo was startled and got up from Yu Zhi's arms in a panic, then apologized very carefully.

"Aunt, I'm sorry. Soso didn't mean it."

Meng Yingnian touched Suosuo's head while smiling.

"It's okay, your aunt is not a porcelain doll, what's the big deal."

As he spoke, he glared at Meng Yingnian, as if to tell him not to be so fierce so as not to scare the child.

Suosuo nodded very obediently to his aunt, then looked at his uncle and quietly snuggled in his aunt's arms.

"Okay, let's stop standing outside and go inside."

Wen Yiying had a faint smile on her face.

"it is good."

Meng Yingnian and Yu Zhi both smiled and walked into the house together.

Butler Meng Shi had already made preparations.

"Second Young Master, Second Young Madam, welcome home."

The butler smiled slightly, and the smile on his face became particularly different.

"Xiaozhi."

Just as Yu Zhi was about to respond, he suddenly heard a laughing voice coming from the direction of the small garden.

Xu Yaru stood there holding a pair of scissors in her hand and looked at Meng Yingnian and Yu Zhi with a smile.

"You're finally back. Come help grandma see how to arrange these flowers to make them look their best."

Yu Zhi glanced at Meng Yingnian, then smiled gently and walked out of the small garden.

He spoke while walking over there with a smile.

"Grandma's flowers are so beautiful, no matter which one I cut, it will look beautiful."

When Xu Yaru heard this, the smile on her face became even brighter.

"You kid just knows how to talk."

Old Master Meng Yuanshan was also reading the newspaper nearby. When Yu Zhi came over, he had a faint smile on his face.

"came back."

Yu Zhi nodded very politely, "Yes, we are back."

Xu Yaru glanced at Meng Yingnian with a coquettish look.

Then he placed the flowers he had just cut in front of Yu Zhi.

"Come and help grandma see how to match these flowers to make them look good."

Yu Zhi spoke with a smile while choosing.

"Grandma is an expert in this field. I dare not show off my skills in front of her."

Xu Yaru couldn't help laughing when she heard this. Her eyes became more gentle as she looked at Yu Zhi. At the same time, she gently patted his hand, and the expression on her face became a little different.

"The flowers I planted are beautiful, but they need to be arranged well. If the arrangement is not good, then it will be useless no matter how I plant them."

The two of them began to carefully select the flowers here while smiling. Only the old man and Meng Yingnian exchanged glances.

Meng Yingnian silently followed the old man to the side.

"You've been making quite a big move lately."

The old man said this lightly, and Meng Yingnian smiled gently.

"Which one are you referring to?"

The old man glanced at him and then pointed at the newspaper with his finger.

"Need I say more? Everything you did has been reported in the newspapers. I didn't expect you, a brat, to be so angry now. You don't even give these people face. Some of them have already come to me."

Meng Yingnian knew what was going on as soon as he heard it. It was just the same things that happened at the last forum. Some people felt embarrassed and came to the old man.

"But old man, you didn't let me go home for these people. Did you?"

The fact that he didn't mean to let him go home meant that the old man didn't care about this matter, or even didn't care. Or maybe he thought that what Meng Yingnian did was right.

The old man couldn't help but burst out laughing, then looked in the direction of Yu Zhi, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily curled up slightly.

"These businesses are indeed doing very well. Anyone who bullies our Meng family should be prepared for retaliation."

"I was worried that this matter wasn't handled cleanly and neatly, but I didn't expect you, a brat, to act so quickly. You really have the same style as I did back then."

As for those people coming to beg for mercy or something, that is not within the old man's consideration.

If his family members were bullied, and he was unable to distinguish between those who should speak up for him, this would hurt the whole family!

Meng Yingnian smiled and said nothing. He just turned his head to look at Yu Zhi beside him, and the expression on his face became even gentler.

"I heard that the child's father recently..."

The old man paused slightly when he said this, revealing an inquiring expression.

Meng Yingnian glanced in Yu Zhi's direction, but nodded calmly, indicating that it was indeed as the old man had heard.

"Well, that's true."

Mr. Meng frowned slightly.

"You will spend your whole life with Xiaozhi."

"Aren't you going to tell him about this?"

Meng Yingnian shook his head.

"There are some things he doesn't need to be told."

Zhizhi just wants to live a happy life.

Leave everything else to yourself.

The old man glanced at Meng Yingnian, but ultimately said nothing more.

"You just have to know it yourself."

Today is Meng Yingnian’s birthday, so Meng Hengze and Zheng Yuanhui also came back.

However, Zheng Yuanhui still looked indifferent to Yu Zhi.

I can't tell how enthusiastic he is, but he's not cold either.

On the contrary, Meng Hengze and Yu Zhi also smiled more and said some caring words.

"Okay, stop talking here. The food has been prepared over there."

When Xu Yaru was in the car, she gently patted Yu Zhi's hand.

"The teacher has already asked someone to prepare everything. Everything we made today is your favorite."

Yu Zhi was deeply moved.

"Grandma, you are so kind to me..."

At this time, Meng Yingnian, who was standing next to him, showed a sad expression at the right moment.

"Yes, grandma, I can't tell who your real grandson is now."

Xu Yaru couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Soso next to him couldn't help but stick out his tongue.

"Uncle, why are you still jealous of Aunt?"

Even at such a young age, he knows that he should give in to his aunt!

Why, uncle...

But just as he finished saying this, he saw his uncle giving him a look.

That look made him shut his mouth instantly.

Hiding quietly behind my mother.

Wow, why does my uncle’s eyes look so scary?

Why did I get goosebumps all over my body at that moment!

After the family sat down at the dining table, Meng Yingnian took a look and saw that almost all of them were dishes that Yu Zhi liked.

But he was still very careful and considerate, removing all the fish bones before placing it in Yu Zhi's arms.

Wen Yiying watched from the side with some envy.

She and Yingtian were also so loving at that time...

Unfortunately……

Wen Yiying lowered her head and used the action of eating to hide her inner emotions.

Today is Yingnian's birthday. If I show any unpleasant expressions, it will only make my mother angry.

"Come on, come on. Today is Yingnian's birthday. This brat never likes to hold parties or anything like that."

"We as a family will just get together at home and have a meal together."

Xu Yaru spoke with a smile.

Meng Hengze and the others brought up the gifts that had been prepared.

"Happy birthday, Xiaonian."

Mr. Meng and Xu Yaru had already made preparations, and even Wen Yiying had prepared a birthday present.

Yu Zhi was the only one with empty hands at the table.

"Aunt, what gift have you prepared for uncle?"

Suosuo asked with some curiosity.

The people around also noticed it, and they all wanted to know what gifts Yu Zhi had prepared.

Yu Zhi lowered his head somewhat embarrassedly.

I did prepare a gift, but didn’t I bring it?

But at this time, Meng Yingnian held Yu Zhi's hand and spoke in a light tone.

"Have you finished your homework?"
