When Lin Qingqian went downstairs, there was no one in the living room. Madam Liu asked someone to bring the shaved ice from the fridge over.
Lin Qingqian hurriedly took the spoon from her. âMadam Liu, Iâll do it myself.â
She was someone by Grandmaâs side. Asking her to serve her was lowering her status.
Madam Liu smiled. âMiss Qingqian is still the same as before. You havenât changed at all.â
Lin Qingqian smiled. âIs that so?â
Madam Liu thought for a moment and said, âNot really, but you seem to have become better.â
Lin Qingqian took a bite of the shaved ice fruit. It was cold, sour, and sweet. She thought to herself, âActually, I havenât become much better. Iâve simply returned to my original self.â
Madam Liu let her eat slowly and got up to go to the kitchen to prepare.
Lin Qingqian sat on the sofa alone and slowly ate her shaved ice. When she was about to finish eating, Jiang Yanshen finally came down.
Jiang Yanshen watched as she finished the bowl of shaved ice. He sat down at the side and took the spoon from her hand. âStop eating.â
The bottom of the bowl was filled with some water and bits of fruit. Lin
Qingqian also didnât want to eat it anymore. âWhereâs your mother?â âShe was punished by Grandma to kneel in the ancestral hall.â Jiang Yanshenâs casual tone was as if she was not his mother.
Lin Qingqian blinked. âDoes this count as forgiving her?â
Jiang Yanshen held her hand and pinched it neither gently nor forcefully. His tone was lazy. âMy father passed away many years ago. If not for the fact that the entire city was stirred up because of this matter, Grandma wouldnât be bothered with her nonsense.â
Lin Qingqian thought about it and couldnât help but worry. âShe has a grudge against you. Li Dashun is not a good person either. When Li Ruzhu comes out, Iâm afraidââ
âThen letâs make her stay there forever.â Jiang Yanshen narrowed his eyes, and a cold glint flashed across them.
Lin Qingqian pinched his palm. âDonât mess around.â
Jiang Yanshen glanced at her serious expression and knew that she was worried about him. He smiled. âAlright, I promise you.â
Old Madam Jiang asked them to stay for dinner, so Lin Qingqian couldnât refuse and stayed with Jiang Yanshen.
Before the banquet started, Jiang Chongjing returned from outside, and Old Madam Jiang also came down.
When they were eating, the old lady specially called Lin Qingqian to sit beside her to let everyone know her status.
Jiang Chongjing and Wu Suyun didnât say anything.
Jiang Yunshen said jealously, âGrandma is so biased. In the past, I was always the one sitting beside you. Now, youâre letting Sister-in-law sit beside you.â
Old Madam Jiang looked at him disdainfully. âIf youâre as considerate as
Qianqian, Iâll let you sit beside me to eat every day.â
Jiang Yunshen was unconvinced. âSo what if Iâm not considerate? No matter how inconsiderate I am, Iâm still your biological grandson!â Old Madam Jiang: âYouâre adopted.â
Jiang Yunshen said aggrievedly, âDad, Mom, look at Grandmaâ¦â
Everyone at the table was amused by him, and the atmosphere at the dining table was less awkward. It had a hint of home.
Lin Qingqian was about to go back after dinner. Old Madam Jiang held her hand and reminded her repeatedly to come on the day of the birthday banquet. Otherwise, she would be unhappy.
Lin Qingqian couldnât withstand her enthusiasm and could only nod in agreement.
Seeing that she was holding Lin Qingqianâs hand and not letting go, Jiang Yanshen became a little impatient and snatched her away.
âAlright, Grandma, Iâll send her back.â
He pulled Lin Qingqian away.
Old Madam Jiang was speechless for a few seconds before she cursed at his back. âStupid brat⦠You make it seem like Iâll snatch it from you!â
Madam Liu chuckled at the side. âWonât you?â
Old Madam Jiang turned around and glared at her, her eyes were filled with relief as she looked at their backsâ¦
