Beijing Colors Lingering

The following day, after having breakfast, Shen Jinsui took a car back to the Cheng family's old house.

The car stopped, and Shen Jinsui got out and walked into the main building lobby, where she saw a tall and upright man sitting on the sofa.

He was holding a tablet computer and browsing financial news.

The man had handsome, cold features, with a hint of chill between his brows, and an extraordinary aura about him.

This is Cheng Yu, Shen Jinsui's older brother whom she hasn't seen for several months.

Shen Jinsui sat down on the sofa next to him and asked, "Brother, when are you going back to Beijing?"

Upon seeing Shen Jinsui, Cheng Yu's previously calm and indifferent expression softened, and he put down his tablet. "Last night."

"Mm." Shen Jinsui nodded slightly.

Cheng Yu pondered for a moment and asked her, "Didn't Grandpa tell you who we're having dinner with tonight?"

Shen Jinsui shook her head and replied truthfully, "Grandpa really didn't tell me."

"They are from the Zhou family."

"Oh." Shen Jinsui didn't know at first, but found out after what happened the day before yesterday, so she naturally didn't have any other reaction at this moment.

Seeing his sister's calm reaction, Cheng Yu wasn't surprised. He guessed that his sister thought tonight was just an ordinary dinner party.

After careful consideration, Cheng Yu decided not to say anything more. Grandpa's invitation for the two families to have a meal together was definitely not just for eating; he probably intended to introduce his friend Zhou Yancong to his sister.

Cheng Yu suddenly remembered the post his sister had made on WeChat Moments, which meant she must know Zhou Yancong.

He wouldn't object if Zhou Yancong could become his brother-in-law.

After all, he knew Zhou Yancong's character well; he had always been clean-living and had never had any scandals.

Well, it's fine if good brothers become brothers-in-law. I look forward to Zhou Yancong respectfully calling him "brother" in the future. That would be great.

However, if the younger sister is unwilling, no one will force her.

Seeing Cheng Yu looking thoughtful, Shen Jinsui waved her hand in front of his eyes and asked curiously, "Brother, what are you thinking about?"

"It's nothing," Cheng Yu replied, then picked up the tablet computer from the coffee table. "I'm going back to my bedroom now."

"Ok."

A short while later, Shen Jinzhi and Cheng Yao returned from their walk in the garden outside.

Shen Jinsui stood up and smiled brightly at them: "Dad, Mom."

Shen Jinzhi walked over to her daughter, pulled her to sit down, and quickly asked, "Sui Sui, have you had breakfast?"

Shen Jinsui took her mother's arm and replied with a smile, "I've already eaten."

Cheng Yao sat down on the other side of his daughter and asked, "Sui Sui, what do you want to eat for lunch? I'll have the chef prepare it."

"That's fine, we'll ask Grandpa and Grandma later," Shen Jinsui replied.

……

In the afternoon, the sun shone brightly, and the clouds in the sky were drifting and swirling.

Shen Jinsui and her family traveled by car to a seven-star hotel owned by Lingyue Group.

Cheng Su specifically instructed the hotel manager in advance to close for the day.

Seeing the whole family step into the elevator, Cheng Su told the waiter standing in front of the elevator buttons not to press the floor number yet, and then said, "We are having dinner with the Zhou family tonight."

After saying that, he glanced at his little granddaughter and called out, "Sui Sui."

Shen Jinsui looked at him upon hearing this, "Grandpa, what's wrong?"

Cheng Suzhuang casually said, "You can get to know Old Man Cheng's grandson, Zhou Yancong, later. He's a few years older than you, so you can make a new friend."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Jinzhi and her husband exchanged a glance and instantly understood what their father meant.

Cheng Yu remained calm and said nothing.

Shen Jinsui smiled gently and replied truthfully, "Grandpa, actually I know Zhou Yancong."

Cheng Su paused for a second, then nodded and smiled, "Yes, that's good."

Then, he gestured to the waiter to press the floor number.

Shen Jinsui didn't say anything more. She didn't intend to hide her relationship with Zhou Yancong, but she still had to wait for Zhou Yancong to tell everyone himself.

"Ding!"

The elevator takes you to the restaurant on the top floor.

They walked outside, and a few seconds later, the Zhou family also came out of another elevator.

The next second, Shen Jinsui felt a familiar gaze fall on her.

She looked up and saw Zhou Yancong, who was smiling gently at her.

Cheng Yu noticed the interaction between the two, and an idea flashed through his mind.

Next, the elders of the two families exchanged pleasantries.

Zhou Yancong and Shen Jinsui's parents had met before and were acquainted. The four of them started chatting as soon as they met.

Cheng Yu and Zhou Yancong were already friends, so they naturally stood together and exchanged a few questions.

After a while, Cheng Su introduced his granddaughter to Grandpa Zhou and Grandma Zhou, "This is my granddaughter, Shen Jinsui."

Seeing this, Shen Jinsui nodded slightly to Grandpa Zhou and Grandma Zhou and greeted them politely, "Grandpa Zhou, Grandma Zhou, hello."

Then, she looked at Zhou Yancong's parents, "Aunt Ying, Uncle Zhou."

Ying Wenjun looked at Shen Jinsui with an undisguised smile on her face. Zhou's father was very satisfied with Shen Jinsui as his future daughter-in-law and exchanged a smile with his wife.

Grandpa Zhou and Grandma Zhou looked at Shen Jinsui with kind and gentle expressions.

Immediately afterwards, Cheng Yu also politely greeted the elders of the Zhou family.

Then, Grandpa Zhou introduced his grandson.

Zhou Yancong recognized Cheng Su and respectfully greeted him, "Grandpa Cheng."

Then, he greeted Grandma Cheng and Shen Jinsui's parents in turn, his attitude humble and polite, which was quite different from his usual indifferent and calm demeanor.

Afterwards, a group of people entered the largest private room on this floor.

Under the deliberate arrangement of Cheng Su and Grandpa Zhou, Shen Jinsui sat next to Zhou Yancong, with her brother Cheng Yu on the other side.

Zhou Yancong silently moved his chair closer to Shen Jinsui, then reached out and took her hand, gently squeezing it.

Faced with his sudden action, Shen Jinsui paused for a moment, then grabbed his hand and winked at him.

The elders were chatting and didn't notice the subtle interaction between the two.

However, Cheng Yu, who was sitting next to Shen Jinsui, saw it all clearly.

He had only been away from Beijing for a few months, and his own sister had been kidnapped by his good brother?

Cheng Yu looked at Zhou Yancong and coughed lightly.

Zhou Yancong glanced at Cheng Yu indifferently, ignored him, and continued to hold Shen Jinsui's hand.

Upon hearing her brother's voice, Shen Jinsui chuckled awkwardly, then pushed Zhou Yancong's hand away and gestured with her eyes for him to stop making any more moves.

Zhou Yancong chuckled softly, then raised his hand and generously patted the top of her fluffy hair, his eyes filled with doting affection.

Shen Jinsui didn't avoid his movements, guessing that he might be preparing to bring up their relationship.

This action quickly attracted everyone's attention.

Under the scrutinizing gazes of everyone, Zhou Yancong calmly stood up, bowed slightly to them, and slowly said, "Grandpa Cheng, Grandma Cheng, Uncle and Aunt, Sui Sui and I officially started dating the day before yesterday."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone present except Cheng Yu and Shen Jinsui was slightly stunned.

Ying Wenjun and Zhou's father exchanged a glance. They both thought their son would confess his feelings to Shen Jinsui today, but they didn't expect that they had already started dating ahead of time.

Grandpa Zhou was the first to break the silence, laughing heartily and quickly saying, "Good, good, good, Old Cheng and I are going to become in-laws."

Soon, smiles gradually appeared on the faces of the elders.

Cheng Yu glanced at Zhou Yancong; the Cheng family's little princess had indeed been abducted by him.

Before long, the elders' conversations turned to when the two would hold their engagement ceremony, how to plan it, and even their future children.

Shen Jinsui was initially quite calm, but upon hearing the word "child," she couldn't help but feel shy, and a blush gradually rose to her fair cheeks. At the same time, she also felt quite helpless.

They've only been together for three days!

Aren't the elders being too anxious?

Zhou Yancong, on the other hand, remained calm and composed, his brows relaxed, a faint smile appearing on his lips, his eyes fixed on her.

Faced with Zhou Yancong's intense and burning gaze, Shen Jinsui's eyes began to flicker. She bit her red lips lightly, lowered her eyes shyly, and avoided his gaze.

Zhou Yancong knew she was shy, so he reached out and took her soft little hand in his, smiled gently, and soothed her softly: "If you don't want to get engaged too early, we can consider this issue later. Everything is based on your wishes."

Shen Jinsui nodded slightly and replied in a voice barely audible, "I understand."

Cheng Yu was somewhat surprised to see Zhou Yancong's expression at this moment. He didn't expect that a man who usually wouldn't even glance at women would have such an expression.

However, this also means that Zhou Yancong has truly fallen for his younger sister.

For some inexplicable reason, a phrase came to mind to describe the scene before him: a plump, fresh cabbage had been stolen.
