Ten Thousand Soul Banner: Deceased, do you have any unfulfilled wishes?
Chapter 432 First Meeting

Chapter 432: Chapter 432 First Meeting

Shen Jianjun early in the morning asked Shen Siyuan to go bring Grandma over.

"Your Grandpa will definitely come here first, we’ll start cooking here at noon," Shen Jianjun said.

Shen Siyuan also thought it made sense, so he left the house, naturally accompanied by Ruan Hongzhuang.

"Did they say what time?" Ruan Hongzhuang asked.

"They said before nine o’clock."

"Does your dad often stay in touch with your grandpa?" Ruan Hongzhuang was a bit curious.

"Not often, they rarely call, but my dad likes to write letters, about one or two a year."

"It’s just habits preserved from the past," Ruan Hongzhuang said.

"I guess so, I don’t understand, what’s there to keep in touch about," Shen Siyuan muttered.

Turning his head, he saw Ruan Hongzhuang smiling as she looked at him.

"What is it, did I say something wrong?" Shen Siyuan asked, puzzled.

"No, I just feel that you’re more human at this moment," Ruan Hongzhuang said.

"What kind of talk is that, are you saying I’ve not been human all along?"

"I didn’t mean it like that, it’s just... before you always gave me a sense of indifference, or you could call it a sense of aloofness or maturity..." Ruan Hongzhuang thought for a moment and said.

"Because for you, there’s almost nothing in the world that can trouble you, so you have a kind of indifference towards everything..."

Ruan Hongzhuang rubbed her head, unsure how to articulate it for a moment.

Shen Siyuan understood what she meant: as his skills improved, his life turned from a difficult level into an easy one, making it effortless, leading to a casual attitude.

This is why he gives off a vibe of not caring too much and being carefree.

Of course, this mindset isn’t very strong yet and is something only someone as close to him as Ruan Hongzhuang could notice.

The two chatted and laughed all the way to Yu Family Mansion, and from a distance, they saw Grandma standing at the village entrance looking out.

Shen Siyuan quickly jogged over.

"Grandma, you’re standing here so early, are you waiting for Grandpa?" Shen Siyuan said helplessly.

Grandma didn’t know he was coming over in the morning, so she was most likely waiting for Grandpa.

Grandma nodded with a smile and said, "I had nothing to do at home, so I came over to take a look."

Shen Siyuan didn’t know what to say, so he just said, "Dad asked me to bring you back, he said Grandpa would come to our place first."

Grandma heard this and glanced at him, then turned around and started walking back.

"I’ll stay at my own home, not going anywhere."

Shen Siyuan quickly caught up.

"You don’t want to see him?"

"If he wants to see me, he’ll come back on his own," Grandma said.

Seeing Grandma’s seemingly displeased expression, Shen Siyuan didn’t insist, instead saying, "Alright, then I’ll wait with you."

Ruan Hongzhuang stepped forward and held Grandma’s arm.

"I’ll wait too."

Grandma seemed particularly happy to hear this.

"When are they arriving?"

"They said before nine o’clock."

"What time is it now?"

"Just past eight."

"Oh dear, that’s nearly before nine," Grandma said, turning back.

"No need to, let’s wait at home, how long have you been out?" Shen Siyuan quickly pulled her back.

"Not long, just came out."

"Liar."

"Big Head, don’t you like your Grandpa?"

"Isn’t that a rhetorical question? Why should I like him, I haven’t even met him, also, don’t call me Big Head."

"Got it, Big Head."

Shen Siyuan: ...

"Hehe~" Ruan Hongzhuang covered her mouth and chuckled.

"What’s so funny? Big Brain Ruan," Shen Siyuan said.

Ruan Hongzhuang immediately widened her eyes, "How do you know?"

Then she realized.

"It’s Taozi who told you, right? That traitor," Ruan Hongzhuang gritted her teeth.

"Taozi?" Grandma asked, puzzled.

"Nothing, let’s not talk about this, Grandma, we should head back and wait."

"Right, you almost made me forget with all your chattering."

"Don’t hold a grudge against him about those old matters, it has nothing to do with you young folks. After all, he is your Grandpa, your bones are connected by tendons, and you can’t write Shen without crossing two lines..."

"Alright, alright, enough already."

"Look at you, already annoyed with me."

"If you talk about something else, I won’t be annoyed with you."

"Grandma knows you’re standing up for me, my Big Head is the most filial," Grandma grasped Shen Siyuan’s hand, her face full of smiles.

Just then, a few honks were heard behind them.

The three quickly moved to the side of the road.

Grandma looked back at the car and quietly asked Shen Siyuan, "Could it be your Grandpa and the others?"

"I wouldn’t recognize them."

"How could you not? He sent your dad a photo," Grandma retorted.

It was indeed Grandpa Shen Guanchao coming, and Shen Guanchao recognized them too, as Shen Jianjun had also sent him a photo.

"Driver, stop right here," Shen Guanchao said eagerly.

The car slowly stopped beside them.

Shen Guanchao, overwhelmed with emotion, tried several times to open the car door unsuccessfully, finally getting help from Shen Guiyan to get out of the car.

Shen Guanchao looked at Grandma, took a few steps forward, freed himself from Shen Guiyan’s support, and with a slightly trembling voice called, "Suzhen."

"Here," Grandma replied.

Shen Siyuan was a bit surprised at Grandma’s overly calm reaction.

"Yes," Shen Guanchao nodded heavily.

"It’s been a long time," Shen Guanchao said.

"Sigh~" Grandma sighed heavily.

"It really has been a long time."

She said, then looked at Shen Guiyan standing to the side and asked, "Is this your daughter?"

"Yes, this is the youngest, her name is Shen Guiyan."

"Aunt Yu."

Shen Guiyan greeted and was also sizing up Yu Suzhen, feeling very surprised because Yu Suzhen looked not only younger than her own father but also in much better spirits, not like someone in their seventies, more like in their sixties.

"She looks so nice, come on, let’s talk inside," Grandma invited.

"There are still things in the car, I’ll bring them down," Shen Guiyan said.

"I’ll help," Ruan Hongzhuang volunteered when she saw this.

"Is this Jianjun’s son?" Shen Guanchao curiously asked while looking at Shen Siyuan.

"Hello," Shen Siyuan greeted with a nod.

Grandma, dissatisfied, gave Shen Siyuan a light slap on the arm and glared at him.

Shen Siyuan helplessly called out again.

"Hello, Grandpa."

"Good, good! And this young lady is?" Shen Guanchao said with a smile.

Then pointed at Ruan Hongzhuang who was helping with the luggage.

"She’s Siyuan’s girlfriend, they’re planning to get married next March," Grandma eagerly said.

At this moment, Shen Guiyan was also chatting with Ruan Hongzhuang.

Her family conditions were favorable, so her judgment was naturally sharp, instantly recognizing that Ruan Hongzhuang not only looked beautiful but likely came from a very affluent family too.

Because the clothes and shoes Ruan Hongzhuang wore were all luxury brands, and the watch, necklace, and the dazzling brooch on her chest were even more valuable.

Ruan Hongzhuang knew she was there to show support for Shen Siyuan, so she dressed up.

Not only did she change her clothes to popular luxury brands, but the watch, necklace, earrings, brooch, etc., were all swapped for highly valuable luxury items.

Judging by Shen Guiyan’s curious and astonished gaze, it seemed to be working well.
