As if she had told a joke, she covered her lips and giggled.

Grandma's eyes darkened, and she couldn't help but say, "Since it's locked, there's no need to clean it. You're going to work as a clerk, not a cleaner..."

"grandmother."

Ruan Xingchen's voice was calm and peaceful, gently interrupting her grandmother's unfinished words.

He shook his head slightly at his grandmother.

So grandma suppressed the anger in her heart and swallowed the rest of the words.

Xia Xinyi didn't know whether she was nervous or on high alert, and she didn't notice anything unusual about her grandmother.

She clasped her hands together, her fingers moving unconsciously and twisting into a knot.

His eyes were fixed on the ground in front of him, but his voice was deliberately cheerful, even a little harsh. "It's okay, we just cleaned it up. I'm also grateful to Ms. Ruan for giving me this opportunity. I want to do more for the foundation... I'm also very happy when I clean."

If you really know how to be grateful, why would you test a place that clearly denies outsiders entry?

Ruan Xingchen's eyes were slightly cold, and a hint of anger rose in his heart.

She didn't care what decision Xia Xinyi would make, but she was a little annoyed that she chose to act so petty in front of her grandmother.

Xia Xinyi knew that her grandmother was old and had heart disease, but she didn't consider at all whether her grandmother would be sad or whether she could bear it.

Couldn't she have considered it?

No, she just didn't care.

Even though her grandmother had always been very good to her and never treated her like a babysitter, she still did this.

"If you want to go, go ahead."

Ruan Xingchen raised the corners of his lips coldly and lowered his eyes.

Her long eyelashes hid the coldness in her eyes. She said slowly, "The key is in the Finance Department. Just go there and ask for it. Just tell them I asked you to go."

Xia Xinyi was instantly overjoyed, suppressing her excitement as she nodded repeatedly, "Don't worry, Ms. Ruan, I will make sure your office is spotlessly clean!"

Ruan Xingchen curled the corners of his mouth and said nothing more.

"Okay, I'm tired."

Grandma was also a little bored and said lightly: "I want to go upstairs to rest. You guys should go and rest for a while too!"

Ruan Xingchen looked up at her worriedly: "Grandma?"

Did it affect grandma's mood after all?

This made her feel a little guilty.

Knowing that Xia Xinyi has been wavering and has ulterior motives, she shouldn't continue to let her go.

If anything happens to grandma because of her, she will definitely blame herself.

"It's okay, I should take a nap too."

Grandma smiled at her and said lovingly, "People have to accept aging. Grandma is old..."

I can't take care of young people's affairs anymore.

Ruan Xingchen understood what she had not yet said, pursed her lips and said nothing.

"Old lady, I'll come to see you next time!"

Xia Xinyi didn't notice anything unusual and remained extremely excited. Her eyes sparkled as she said, "Next time I'll bring you your favorite sesame cakes."

"I'm not in good health and can't eat too much sweets."

Grandma lowered her eyes and said calmly, "Just work hard. You don't have to come to see me all the time. Work is more important."

The attitude is mostly distant and cold.

Xia Xinyi was so immersed in her own thoughts that she didn't notice anything was wrong. She smiled and said goodbye and left.

Having taken care of her grandmother for such a long time, how could she not know how long her grandmother's walks were?

With a mocking laugh, Ruan Xingchen helped her grandmother back to her room and said softly, "If someone wants to die, no one can stop him. Grandma, there's no need to be unhappy over someone who has nothing to do with you."

Grandma clapped her hands and said nothing more.

As a patient hunter, Ruan Xingchen has always been able to remain calm.

After a few days of calm, one day, she was invited by Zhong Zeshan to come to the Zhong family.

She should be very familiar with the Zhong family.

She lived for a long time in her previous life, and many of her joys, sorrows, anger and happiness were left here, and finally she left her life here.

The Zhong family's house witnessed her best youth, her hard work, and her ups and downs.

Similarly, when she accompanied Zhong Shaoyang to expand the Zhong family, she also witnessed that the Zhong family's house became more and more magnificent.

The current Zhong family has not yet become the low-key yet luxurious family it was before her death in her previous life.

It will never have that opportunity in this lifetime.

It was the same look she remembered when she first married into the Zhong family. At first glance, she looked wealthy, but without much background.

An ordinary, but slightly wealthy family.

But now, it has taken on a bit of decadence and desolation, as if the entire building is shrouded in a layer of gray mist that lingers and reveals an ominous aura.

Ruan Xingchen lowered his eyes, his raven-black eyelashes covering the emotion and coldness in his eyes.

"Zeshan, what do you mean?"

Seeing her appear, Zhong Dingguo's eyes suddenly widened, veins popped out on his forehead, and he said coldly: "Bring outsiders to watch our family make a fool of themselves?"

"If the Zhong family collapses, what good will happen to you?"

Lin Rou seemed to be provoked as well. She suddenly jumped up and said in a sharp voice, "Zhong Zeshan, you are just a loser who lives on the dividends from your shares! If we didn't pity you, do you think you could still live the life you have now? Without the Zhong Group, you are just a homeless dog!"

She simply could not accept that Ruan Xingchen, whom she had once despised and looked down upon, could now stand in front of her in a high-handed manner and laugh at her jokes.

How is this possible?

This woman, who only knew some coquettish tricks, seduced the son whom she had carefully nurtured for more than 20 years and made him lose his mind.

She must not show weakness in front of this woman.

On the other side, Li Mian, who was pregnant, looked at Ruan Xingchen with resentment and bit her lip without saying a word.

Zhong Shaoyang stood beside her, holding her shoulders with his hands, but his pupils were trembling.

He didn't know what expression to make.

His eyes couldn't help but fall on Ruan Xingchen's face again and again.

She is still so beautiful, so wildly and domineeringly beautiful. Whenever she appears, she captures everyone's attention.

In front of her, everyone else pales in comparison. Only she is bold and colorful, and her every frown and smile exudes endless charm.

He didn't know when the beautiful and slender girl he knew, who had extraordinary skills, a rebellious and aloof look, and even a little cynical, became like this.

The coldness between his brows disappeared completely, replaced by openness and peace. The whole person was elegant and calm, blooming brightly in the world.

It seemed as if nothing could make her look at it for a second. She walked calmly among the flowers and willows, shattering all the spring hearts, but nothing could leave a trace in her heart for a moment.

So he became even more fascinated.

I love her aloof beauty, but I also deeply hate her arrogance and indifference.
