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. “Madam Liu, I’ll do it myself.”
She was someone by Grandma’s side. Asking her to serve her was lowering her status.
Madam Liu smiled. “Miss Qingqian is still the same as before. You haven’t changed at all.”
Lin Qingqian smiled. “Is that so?”
Madam Liu thought for a moment and said, “Not really, but you seem to have become better.”
Lin Qingqian took a bite of the shaved ice fruit. It was cold, sour, and sweet. She thought to herself, “Actually, I haven’t become much better. I’ve simply returned to my original self.”
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. “Stop eating.”
The bottom of the bowl was filled with some water and bits of fruit. Lin
Qingqian also didn’t want to eat it anymore. “Where’s your mother?” “She was punished by Grandma to kneel in the ancestral hall.” Jiang Yanshen’s casual tone was as if she was not his mother.
Lin Qingqian blinked. “Does this count as forgiving her?”
Jiang Yanshen held her hand and pinched it neither gently nor forcefully. His tone was lazy. “My father passed away many years ago. If not for the fact that the entire city was stirred up because of this matter, Grandma wouldn’t be bothered with her nonsense.”
Lin Qingqian thought about it and couldn’t help but worry. “She has a grudge against you. Li Dashun is not a good person either. When Li Ruzhu comes out, I’m afraid—”
“Then let’s make her stay there forever.” Jiang Yanshen narrowed his eyes, and a cold glint flashed across them.
Lin Qingqian pinched his palm. “Don’t mess around.”
Jiang Yanshen glanced at her serious expression and knew that she was worried about him. He smiled. “Alright, I promise you.”
Old Madam Jiang asked them to stay for dinner, so Lin Qingqian couldn’t 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 didn’t say anything.
Jiang Yunshen said jealously, “Grandma is so biased. In the past, I was always the one sitting beside you. Now, you’re letting Sister-in-law sit beside you.”
Old Madam Jiang looked at him disdainfully. “If you’re as considerate as
Qianqian, I’ll let you sit beside me to eat every day.”
Jiang Yunshen was unconvinced. “So what if I’m not considerate? No matter how inconsiderate I am, I’m still your biological grandson!” Old Madam Jiang: “You’re adopted.”
Jiang Yunshen said aggrievedly, “Dad, Mom, look at Grandma…”
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 couldn’t withstand her enthusiasm and could only nod in agreement.
Seeing that she was holding Lin Qingqian’s hand and not letting go, Jiang Yanshen became a little impatient and snatched her away.
“Alright, Grandma, I’ll send her back.”
He pulled Lin Qingqian away.
Old Madam Jiang was speechless for a few seconds before she cursed at his back. “Stupid brat… You make it seem like I’ll snatch it from you!”
Madam Liu chuckled at the side. “Won’t you?”
Old Madam Jiang turned around and glared at her, her eyes were filled with relief as she looked at their backs…
