Shen Yunting picked up the phone, fiddled with it for a bit, but couldn't get it working, so he closed the video call and called back.

Song Wanwan composed herself and swiped to answer the call.

This time, we can hear the sounds from the other side. We can faintly hear the sound of the waves. There is a blue sea right outside where Grandpa lives. It was Song Wanwan's favorite place when she was a child.

While Song Wanwan was in a daze, Song Qingshan's voice came from the other end of the video call, "Wan'er, it's been a long time since you've visited your grandfather. Has Tingzhou been very busy lately?"

She wasn't working and didn't have time to see him, so she must have thought Gu Tingzhou was too busy. And she, who was always around him, must be busy too.

Song Wanwan quickly explained, "Grandpa, there's something. I'll come back to see you in a few days. How have you been lately?"

Shen Qingshan nodded and said, "I'm in good health. Living by the sea, the oxygen content is high, which is good for my cardiopulmonary function."

As she spoke, she pointed the camera at the flower bushes behind her, saying, "Look how beautifully the roses behind me are blooming. I'm just waiting for you to come back and see them."

With tears in her eyes, Song Wanwan said, "Grandpa, I miss you, I miss my eldest uncle, my second uncle, and my youngest uncle, I miss everyone."

Shen Qingshan said, somewhat amused and exasperated, "Stop following that kid from the Gu family around for a bit, then come back to see us. It's not that far, only an hour's drive away."

"If you're too lazy to drive, have your uncle take you back. He's been busy with something lately and hasn't been back for a while. You two can travel together."

Song Wanwan felt a little sad. She had married Gu Tingzhou against her family's wishes, and everyone had some resentment towards her.

But how can an arm twist a thigh?

Aside from not loving himself, Gu Tingzhou is handsome, the heir to the group, hardworking, self-disciplined, and the dream lover and ideal son-in-law of countless women in the capital.

But who is Song Wanwan? With the support of the Shen and Song families, the last thing she needs is to curry favor with the powerful. What they want most is for her to find someone who loves her, not someone she loves.

In her previous life, Song Wanwan devoted all her attention to Gu Tingzhou and rarely went home.

It won't happen in this life, Grandpa. It will happen soon. Just wait a little longer. Once I've ended my marriage with Gu Tingzhou, I'll come back to be with you and live with you. I'll also bring Grandpa and Grandma here, and I'll take care of you in your old age.

Song Wanwan sniffed and said, "I'll come back to see you after I'm done with these two days and Gu Tingzhou is discharged from the hospital."

Shen Qingshan asked with a hint of annoyance but also concern, "What's wrong with that kid?"

Shen Yunting also leaned closer to take a look at the screen.

Before Song Wanwan could answer, Gu Tingzhou's face appeared on the screen.

Song Wanwan noticed him, turned to look at him, and frowned uncomfortably.

Gu Tingzhou respectfully greeted the screen, "Grandpa, Uncle."

Both of them responded faintly from the other side. Shen Qingshan asked, "Tingzhou, are you feeling unwell?"

Gu Tingzhou said with a smile, "Don't worry, Grandpa, I just had a fever that turned into pneumonia. I can be discharged after two days in the hospital."

Song Wanwan kept giving Gu Tingzhou meaningful glances, telling him not to say anything out of line and not to mention divorce.

His eyes were practically trembling like leaves. Gu Tingzhou found it all amusing. He dared to do it but not to admit it. He even said he had thought it through, but it turned out he was still keeping it from his grandfather and the others.

Gu Tingzhou chatted with Shen Qingshan for a few more minutes before returning the phone to Song Wanwan.

Song Wanwan took the phone and breathed a sigh of relief.

Gu Tingzhou was like a ticking time bomb; you never knew when he would explode. I stared at him nervously the whole time.

Fortunately, it was just a casual chat with my grandfather, and I didn't say anything inappropriate.

The video showed Shen Yunting's face. He asked somewhat seriously, "Wanwan, I heard from He Yun that you went to see her."

Startled, Song Wanwan jumped off the bed and ran to the bathroom in her slippers.

Gu Tingzhou raised an eyebrow as he watched her movements. Who stepped on her tail? She's moving so fast!

Song Wanwan went into the bathroom and immediately closed the door.

Shen Yunting and He Yun were high school classmates. It was Shen Yunting who took her to find He Yun back then.

Song Wanwan gave an awkward laugh and said, "I didn't see Aunt He. She went abroad for an exchange program. She met with her students and chatted for a while. Uncle, you're good at being a detective. You found out so quickly."

Shen Yunting did not lose his seriousness because of Song Wanwan's joke.

Song Wanwan chuckled to herself, feeling a little embarrassed.

Sure enough, the younger generation in the family is most afraid of the eldest uncle. That's for sure; not many people like his stern face.

Song Wanwan's smile faded, and she calmly said, "I just haven't been able to eat much lately, so I went to see a doctor. Aunt He's students are quite professional; they said I just need to adjust my diet."

Song Wanwan spoke casually.

Shen Yunting frowned, not relieved by Song Wanwan's explanation, but said with concern, "Let's go see He Yun when she comes back."

Ultimately, considering Shen Qingshan's presence and fearing the old man would worry, she simply said a few words, handed the phone back to Shen Qingshan, and exited the screen.

Shen Qingshan chatted with Song Wanwan for a while longer, telling her to go back with Shen Yunqing sometime and that he would cook something delicious for her.

Song Wanwan reluctantly agreed, saying that her grandfather's cooking skills were not worth praising. Usually, it was her grandmother who cooked. Since her grandmother passed away from illness when Song Wanwan was in her second year of graduate school, her grandfather had never stepped into the kitchen.

Song Wanwan is now a mediocre cook; she can cook for her grandparents.

Song Wanwan made up her mind. She had cooked so many meals for Gu Tingzhou, but he hadn't shown much gratitude and had instead looked disgusted.

If she made it for her family, her grandfather might even give her a few more of his collectible ornaments.

This investment has a higher return on investment and lower risk.

Song Wanwan made an appointment with Shen Qingshan to go home, and after reminding her grandfather to take care of his health, she hung up the phone.

Touching her sore nose, Song Wanwan took a deep breath and left the bathroom.

As soon as he came out of the restroom, Gu Tingzhou looked up at him and asked suspiciously, "Who is He Yun? Your uncle mentioned her name and you went into the restroom. What secret are you keeping from me?"

There are secrets, but they have nothing to do with you anymore.

What I wanted to tell you before, I don't need to now.

Song Wanwan paused for a moment, then calmly said, "My uncle's classmate has her own studio, and she told me I can go chat with her whenever I want."

Gu Tingzhou gave a faint "oh" and said nothing more, then lowered his head to do his own thing.

Song Wanwan's statement wasn't exactly a lie. He Yun ran a psychological counseling studio, and psychological counseling is just chatting, isn't it?

Gu Tingzhou was only acting out of curiosity; he wasn't genuinely concerned about him.

Even a friend would casually ask, "What kind of studio do you run?"

Oh well, we're getting divorced anyway, so what difference does it make whether I care or not?

After thinking about it, Song Wanwan felt relieved.

I started studying the information Jian Xuyan sent me again. To truly understand this new energy company, I still need to conduct on-site research myself.

The biggest variable in a company is its personnel; personnel changes can affect the investment risks in the future.

Song Wanwan decided to drive to that new energy company in the afternoon.
