Urban Film and Television: Jiang Lai is the Top Choice

No sooner had Yang Chu finished speaking than Lu Yuan and Peng Jiahe's grandmother returned from outside.

Lu Yuan said irritably, "I was wondering why that car outside looked so familiar. Oh, it's yours!"

"No, you rode in my car yesterday! Don't you recognize me anymore?"

"It's dark, who would notice your car? Since you're here, why don't you stay for lunch? You've helped us so many times, and we haven't even treated you to a meal. It's really not right."

"Sure! I'm looking for food anyway, so it doesn't matter where I eat."

Grandma Peng smiled and grabbed Yang Chu's hand, saying, "What's your name?"

"Hello, Grandma, my name is Yang Chu!"

"Xiao Chu! Hello, hello! You must be Jiahe's boyfriend! You're so handsome! Tall and dashing."

Yang Chu heard Peng Jiahe's boyfriend laugh and say, "Grandma, I'm not Jiahe's boyfriend. Jiahe is still young!"

Grandma Peng said with a smile, "Yes, yes, you are not Jiahe's boyfriend. Jiahe is still young. When Jiahe grows up, you can be Jiahe's boyfriend."

Just as Yang Chu was about to continue explaining, Lu Yuan couldn't stand it anymore and pulled Grandma Peng aside, saying, "Grandma, don't make things worse. He's our friend. Let's go make the dumpling filling and invite him to lunch, okay?"

The old lady smiled and nodded, saying, "Okay, okay, there's no problem with that."

Then the old lady turned to Yang Chu and said, "How about dumplings with chive and egg filling?"

Just as Yang Chu was about to nod and say yes, he saw Lu Yuan frowning.

Yang Chu then remembered that Lu Yuan seemed to be allergic to chives, so she looked at the old lady and asked, "Don't you have any other fillings?"

"Yes, yes, of course we have it! We also have mutton and radish, is that okay?"

Yang Chu nodded and said, "This is good, this is good. I'm a little allergic to chives, so thank you, Grandma!"

Grandma Peng patted her lower abdomen with both hands and said in a feigned displeasure, "What's so troublesome about this! You child, I'll go prepare the filling right now."

After the old lady turned and went into the kitchen, Yang Chu looked at Lu Yuan and Peng Jiahe and said, "The old lady's condition is not very good. I estimate that she will only have a few more months at most, and she may not even recognize you anymore."

Peng Jiahe asked with some concern, "Is it really that serious?"

"It is indeed quite serious. This old lady's dementia is already in the middle to late stage. If it reaches the later stage, she won't even recognize the way home."

Peng Jiahe looked anxiously at Yang Chu and Lu Yuan and said, "What should we do then!"

Yang Chu said with some helplessness, "There is no cure for Alzheimer's disease in the world. But you don't need to be in such a hurry now. It will be several months from now. At that time, either one of you will stay with the old lady all the time and pay attention to her at all times so that she can't leave your sight. Or you can send her to a nursing home, which is actually the most worry-free place."

Peng Jiahe and Lu Yuan both fell silent after hearing this. Emotionally, neither of them wanted to send the old lady to a nursing home.

However, realistically speaking, a nursing home is indeed the best place for the elderly woman.

The two remained silent for a while before Lu Yuan broke the silence.

"We'll see when the time comes! The old lady isn't at the point where she needs to be sent to a nursing home yet."

Peng Jiahe, with a slight lump in her throat, said, "Why do all the unfortunate things have to happen to my family?"

Yang Chu sighed, patted Peng Jiahe's hand and said, "Jiahe, don't complain. Everyone gets old eventually. I think it's better for the old lady to be like this. At least she doesn't have to go through the pain of a parent outliving their child."

With red eyes, Peng Jiahe looked at Yang Chu and said, "So you're making me bear the pain of my father's death all by myself? Why...?"

Seeing that Peng Jiahe was showing signs of losing control, Lu Yuan quickly scolded her, "Shut up! Are you trying to scare your grandma?"

Peng Jiahe was also worried that her grandmother would see her current state, so she could only glare at Lu Yuan with red eyes.

Yang Chu looked at Peng Jiahe helplessly and said, "No one wants to see Uncle Peng suffer. Would you be satisfied if your loved ones, or Uncle Peng's loved ones, suffered as much as you do?"

Yang Chu's words left Peng Jiahe speechless, but Peng Jiahe's pain was something that not everyone could understand.

Both Yang Chu and Lu Yuan were well aware of this, but no one could take their place in this matter; Peng Jiahe had to overcome it on his own.

Yang Chu sighed and said to Lu Yuan, "You stay home and look after the old lady. Jiahe and I are going out for a walk."

Lu Yuan nodded and said, "Go!"

Yang Chu stood up and shouted loudly to Grandma Peng in the kitchen, "Grandma! A friend just called and asked us to go out for a bit, so it looks like we won't be able to have lunch. We'll have to come back another day to try your cooking."

Upon hearing Yang Chu's words, Grandma Peng immediately ran out of the kitchen.

Peng Jiahe knew that she was not in a good state and could not let Grandma Peng see her, so she turned her head to the side, lowered her head to avoid Grandma Peng's gaze, and minimized her presence.

After Grandma Peng came out, she saw Yang Chu and Peng Jiahe about to leave and said anxiously, "Why are you leaving so suddenly! Aren't you going to stay and have something to eat?"

Yang Chu said with a smile, "There's nothing I can do, things are a bit urgent. I'll come see you another day! Please don't be angry."

Grandma Peng smiled and pretended to be angry, saying, "Why are you saying that again, child! You can go about your business. Are you taking Jiahe with you?"

"Yes!"

"Okay, then you guys go ahead! Come back soon!"

Yang Chu nodded, then turned and left with Peng Jiahe.

Before leaving, Yang Chu said to the system, "Sign in consecutively!"

"Ding, check-in successful. Congratulations to the host for receiving one million in cash and check-in points +1."

"Ding! Congratulations, host, for signing in next to an important character in the 'Mr. Right' storyline. You have received: a two-courtyard siheyuan in Shanghai, ten million in cash, and one sign-in point."

Yang Chu was quite surprised to hear that Shanghai had two courtyard houses. He had no idea that Shanghai even had courtyard houses.

"System, are there courtyard houses in Shanghai?"

"Ding, yes! Please do not view this world through the lens of your past life. This is an urban-themed world. Anything that exists in an urban world can exist in any city."

Yang Chu nodded and asked, "Then where is this courtyard house?"

"Ding, the land deed, house deed, and key have all been placed in the distribution space. Please check them yourself."
