airport.

Shen Suihuan stood at the exit of the VIP passage, his eyes fixed on the frosted glass door.

Jiang Zhou stood beside her, said nothing, just stretched out his hand and wrapped her slightly cool fingertips in his palm.

His hands were dry and warm, and his steady strength flowed along the skin they touched, slowly soothing the anxiety in her heart.

Finally, the door slid open to both sides.

An old man with a thin figure but a straight back walked out with the support of a young man.

The old man's hair is gray and combed meticulously. Time has carved deep lines on his face, but his eyes are still sharp and bright, with the wisdom and majesty of time.

When Shen Suihuan saw the old man, his nose instantly felt sore.

She let go of Jiang Zhou's hand and walked quickly towards him.

"Grandpa."

Mr. Si paused.

He raised his head, his gaze passed over the crowd and fell accurately on Shen Suihuan's face.

At that moment, the old man's sharp eyes melted instantly, replaced by a huge sadness and nostalgia that almost drowned him.

He looked at the girl in front of him, her black hair, clear eyes, straight nose, and the stubborn curve of her lips when she pursed them.

so similar.

He and his deceased daughter, Si Yuqing, are almost identical.

The old man's hands began to tremble uncontrollably, and the knuckles of his cane turned white from the exertion.

Si Yu, who was with him, noticed his grandfather's mood swings and whispered a reminder.

"grandfather."

Mr. Si turned a deaf ear to it. He pushed Si Yu's hand away and walked towards Shen Suihuan step by step, a little unsteadily but with great determination.

He stretched out his wrinkled hand, wanting to touch her cheek, but stopped in mid-air, as if afraid that what he saw was just a fragile illusion.

He opened his mouth and silently called out Yuqing, then said:

"Sui Sui."

"Grandpa, it's me."

Shen Suihuan's eyes were red, "I'm back."

In her previous life, she didn't get to see her grandfather for the last time, so she was very excited to see him again.

Mr. Si looked at her standing in front of him, his cloudy eyes quickly filled with mist.

"Okay, okay, okay, I'm glad you're back! I'll stay at the Si family and not go anywhere else!"

He held Shen Suihuan's hand tightly, and after a long time, his emotions finally calmed down and he calmed down a little.

Then, his gaze fell on Jiang Zhou behind Shen Suihuan.

Jiang Zhou has an upright figure and a noble temperament, and he looks extraordinary at first glance.

He stood there quietly, not disturbing this long-awaited reunion.

But he stood behind Shen Suihuan with an absolutely protective attitude.

Mr. Si looked at him scrutinizingly.

Jiang Zhou met his gaze calmly, with an upright posture and a strong aura.

He nodded slightly.

"Hello, Grandpa."

The scrutiny in Mr. Si's eyes gradually turned into a barely perceptible approval.

He knew Jiang Zhou. Not only in China, but also abroad, news about him was often reported.

Young and promising, don't mess around.

More importantly, the look in his eyes when he looked at Sui Sui, that undisguised cherishment and possession, was not fake.

He cherishes every year.

"Are you Sui Sui's boyfriend?" Mr. Si asked.

"Yes."

Mr. Si nodded heavily, which represented the highest degree of recognition.

Just then, another voice interrupted.

"Dad, Ayu."

Si Shenyan walked forward with Su Yao and Su Luoluo.

Su Luoluo put on the sweetest and most harmless smile and approached Mr. Si intimately.

"Grandpa! You're back! Luoluo missed you so much!"

Her voice was sweet and coquettish, with a deliberately flattering tone.

When Mr. Si heard the voice, he looked over and his gaze paused for a second on Su Luoluo's face with exquisite makeup.

He remembered Su Luoluo.

"It's Luoluo."

In the past, Su Yao often brought her to the Si family. She was sweet-talking and good at coaxing people.

There are no girls in the Si family, and he likes her very much.

He knew that Su Yao adopted Su Luoluo as his daughter.

He didn't agree with this, but since it was his son's family's business, he didn't say much.

But his attitude towards Su Luoluo was very cold, completely different from the excitement he had just had when he saw Shen Suihuan.

The smile on Su Luoluo's face froze for a moment, but soon returned to normal.

"Grandpa, brother." She turned to Si Yu again and greeted him obediently.

Si Yu didn't care whether she was a member of the family or not. After all, she was a girl. Her biological mother was willing to bring her back and wanted her to marry out of the Si family. It wouldn't matter if she married a higher-class man and gave her more dowry.

She is my mother's niece anyway, so it's no big deal to take care of her.

The group got in the car and returned to the Si family villa in a mighty procession.

At lunch, at the long dining table, Mr. Si sat at the head seat, with Shen Suihuan on his left, and Jiang Zhou below him.

Si Shenyan's family sat on the right side of Mr. Si.

Originally, Su Luoluo should have been at the end of the row, but she ended up sitting opposite Si Yu, next to Jiang Zhou.

Originally, Mr. Si was not very happy about recognizing Su Luoluo as the daughter of the Si family, and now he is even more unhappy.

Su Luoluo sensed it and said, "I want to sit opposite Brother Yu."

Su Yao also said, "This table is not good. Luo Luo is at the end of the line and it's hard to get food. We should switch back to a large round Chinese table."

After she said this, the atmosphere eased slightly.

Old Master Si looked at Shen Suihuan with a smile, and from time to time he would pick up a piece of her favorite dish with his chopsticks, his eyes full of love that was about to overflow.

After lunch, the servants brought tea and snacks.

Mr. Si took a sip of tea, suddenly put down the teacup and looked at Jiang Zhou.

"Xiao Zhou, come with me to the study."

Jiang Zhou put down the teacup, gave Shen Suihuan a soothing look, then stood up and followed Mr. Si.

The heavy door of the study slowly closed behind them, blocking out all the sounds from the living room.

Su Yao's eyes were instantly glued to the tightly closed door.

Her hand holding the teacup tightened slightly, and her eyes revealed a hint of tension and calculation.

Why did the old man call Jiang Zhou in alone?

Could it be that... I want to give him some benefits in private?

The Si family’s property, shares, or some priceless antiques?

Su Yao's heart tightened when he thought that these things that should have belonged to the Si family might fall into the hands of an outsider.

No, absolutely not!

She was just trying to find an excuse to inquire about it when Si Shenyan beside her spoke coldly.

His voice was quiet, but it was filled with cold anger.

"What's that look in your eyes?"

Su Yao's heart skipped a beat. She turned around and met her husband's extremely disappointed gaze.

"I... I'm fine." She looked away guiltily.

"nothing?"

Si Shenyan's eyes were filled with displeasure. "What do you think Dad is doing? Is he calculating about that little bit of family property like you are?"

"I didn't!" Su Yao immediately retorted.

"The way you stared at that door, it was practically as if the word 'suspicion' was written all over your face!"

Si Shenyan looked at his wife and felt extremely strange and disappointed.

"Su Yao, let me tell you, even if Dad really wants to give something, it's for Sui Sui! It's not your turn to be on guard like a thief here!"

He paused, a hint of tired pain in his voice.

"Why do you think Dad asked Xiao Zhou to come in?"

"That's because of Shen Zhuo! Because of the hurt Sui Sui's biological father gave her! Dad is scared. He's afraid that Sui Sui will be deceived again and suffer again! He wants to test Xiao Zhou's character himself and be a check on Sui Sui!"

So that's how it is. Su Yao's tense body slowly relaxed.

As long as it’s not giving Jiang Zhou any property.

Her heart finally settled down.
