A deep voice came from outside.

Aunt Dong was taken aback when she heard the voice, then looked towards the door: "Sir, are you done with your work?"

Wenren Chen looked at the phone she was holding and said, "Make me a cup of tea."

"Okay, I'll go right away."

After finishing her sentence, Aunt Dong quickly said to Sheng Mingying on the phone, "Madam, I..."

"Aunt Dong, give the phone to Xiao Liu, I want to talk to him for a bit."

"Yes, madam."

Aunt Dong handed the phone to Wenren Chen: "Sir, the old lady wants to tell you something."

"Ah."

Wenren Chen took the phone and held it to his ear: "Mom."

Before the phone call ended, Wenren Chen's words reached Sheng Mingying's ears. Hearing her son's voice, Sheng Mingying was naturally happy.

After speaking with Wenren Chen on the phone that day, Sheng Mingying never spoke to him on the phone again.

Knowing her son was busy and that he was a man of few words, Sheng Mingying would not call Wenren Chen unless something was wrong.

Unfortunately, Xiao Liu isn't busy now, so it's a good opportunity for the mother and son to have a chat.

A familiar voice came from the phone, and Sheng Mingying's face instantly lit up with a loving smile: "Xiao Liu, are you settling in well in Shancheng? How's the environment there? Are you adapting? Is the food to your liking?"

Several questions were thrown at him at once. Wenren Chen took his phone and went back to the living room, sitting down on the sofa: "Yeah, I'm used to it."

Upon hearing him say he was used to it, Sheng Mingying immediately snorted: "You child, even if you're not used to it, you'll still say you're used to it. You never let your mother worry."

Sheng Mingying's words were true. People say that children are debt collectors, but her children are all here to repay debts, especially her sixth child, who never makes her worry.

She was calm, collected, and methodical in everything she did, never causing her any trouble.

Apart from marriage.

That's the only thing; everything else is fine.

Although Sheng Mingying was anxious about this, she wouldn't actually force her son to do anything. No one is perfect, and if Xiao Liu were truly perfect, she would feel uneasy.

This is all there is now, it's a little incomplete, but it's fine.

As long as her sixth child is healthy and lives a long life, she can accept it even if their relationship is bad and he becomes a widower at a young age.

Wenren Chen remained silent after hearing Sheng Mingying's words.

As a son, how could he not understand Sheng Mingying's personality, especially someone as intelligent as Wenren Chen?

He remained silent, so Sheng Mingying changed the subject, saying, "How is Zhou Yi's grandmother? Is she feeling better?"

Wenren Chen's eyes fell on the sunlight outside the French windows. The sunlight was dazzling, but it couldn't reach some of the dark places.

"Not very good."

"Isn't it good?"

Sheng Mingying frowned, her smile vanishing: "I spoke with Aunt Dong on the phone yesterday morning, and she said the person is much better."

His eyes flickered slightly, then returned to their previous expression, the depth in his eyes seeming to deepen: "Yesterday afternoon, her father and stepmother caused a scene at the hospital, and Grandma was in critical condition for a time. After emergency treatment, she has stabilized this morning."

Sheng Mingying remained silent.

She had previously had someone investigate Zhou Yi, so naturally she knew about Zhou Yi's parents' situation: her father had an extramarital affair and her mother died in childbirth.

After his wife passed away, the father hastily married his mistress, neglecting his elderly mother and daughter for more than 20 years. Now, his mother is hospitalized on the verge of death, and he is causing trouble at the hospital.

This is not something an ordinary person could do.

The Wen family, the Sheng family, has been prominent figures for generations, and they place particular importance on filial piety.

Someone like Zhou Yi's father would never exist in the Wen family or the Sheng family.

After investigating Zhou Yi's situation, Sheng Mingying disliked him intensely.

If Zhou Yi weren't such a good girl, with her grandmother in poor health and her own early start in working to earn money for her grandmother's medical treatment, she wouldn't have let Zhou Yi take care of Yu Yu.

Stay away from people who are inhuman and immoral.

This kind of person is capable of anything.

Upon hearing Wenren Chen's words, Sheng Mingying remained silent for a moment before asking, "What is Zhou Yi's attitude?"

Wenren Chen paused for a moment, then said, "Zhou Jianye hit her."

Sheng Mingying frowned instantly: "I remember Zhou Yi was raised by her grandmother, and her father did not contribute anything."

"Yes, her father was expelled from the Zhou family back then."

"Zhou Jianye is no longer listed in the Zhou family genealogy."

Sheng Mingying's brows relaxed, and she said calmly, "That's fine then. Zhou Yi is now a member of the Wen family. We've taken care of Zhou Yi's grandmother, so we'll just kick out these unrelated people."

"We cannot let such irrelevant people affect Grandma Zhou Yi, affect Zhou Yi, and then affect my dear grandson."

Wenren Chen opened his mouth and said, "They won't go to the hospital anymore."

Sheng Mingying's lips curled up, and a pleasant smile fell on her face: "I don't worry about what you do."

"However, this will probably take some time."

"Mom was hoping you'd come back soon, but now it'll be a long time before I see my precious grandson."

As she spoke, Sheng Mingying became worried.

She was already reluctant for her grandson to travel such a long distance, and now that he's gone for several days at a time, with all this trouble, it will probably be ten days to half a month.

It would be strange if she weren't worried.

Wenren Chen said, "You can come and have some fun here."

"Play?"

Sheng Mingying's brow twitched slightly, then she narrowed her eyes.

Xiao Liu suggested she go to a remote, third-tier county town for a trip.

She must have misheard.

Wenren Chen seemed oblivious to the unusual tone in Sheng Mingying's voice, and said, "The scenery here is beautiful, with lush green hills and clear waters, and the air is fresh. You can come and visit when you have time."

Sheng Mingying's expression changed.

At that moment, countless expressions flashed across her eyes.

His eyes were especially bright and piercing.

As if she had suddenly discovered something extraordinary, her emotions were in turmoil.

However, her change disappeared in just a few seconds, and everything returned to normal very quickly, with no trace of anything unusual.

"Oh yes!"

"Why didn't Mom think of that?"

“Mom doesn’t have much to do every day. Your older brother and sister’s sons and daughters are all grown up, so Mom doesn’t have to take care of them anymore. Now it’s just Yuyu’s turn.”

"Since I have nothing to do, I can go see my dear grandson!"

Sheng Mingying seemed to finally understand in an instant, and her expression was one of joy.

Wenren Chen said, "If you are coming, I will arrange for someone to pick you up."

"Okay!"

"Mom's here!"

"Mom will come tomorrow!"

"I'll arrange for someone to pick you up tomorrow."

"Then it's settled. Mom will go back and pack her things now."

"Ah."

Sheng Mingying hung up the phone.

At that moment, her eyes gleamed.

Xiao Liu sending her to Shancheng is no ordinary matter.
