After everyone left, Xu Sui pretended that nothing had happened and did not mention what had just happened.

But before she could bring it up, Qin Yunzhou suddenly did, "Wang Jianli... is indeed quite good."

"You have excellent taste; every partner you've chosen has been good."

So many years have passed, but he has not forgotten how Wang Jianli provoked him back then.

However, if the other party were truly inferior, he wouldn't allow them to perform such a stunt in front of him.

Xu Sui: "..."

Why does it taste sour?

She glanced up at the man beside her, blinked, pretended not to understand what he meant, and directly asked him a question in return.

"Is it really necessary to praise yourself like that?"

"That's true." Qin Yunzhou paused slightly, and the corners of his lips unconsciously turned up.

Whether it was Wang Jianli or Liu Jianli, those people are all gone now.

They are the only couple; those other people can't interfere at all.

Soon, the couple arrived at the entrance of Grandma Xu's courtyard. After many years, they had returned to this familiar place.

For a moment I was still a little dazed.

Xu Sui, in particular, had sweaty palms. She was already at the door when she suddenly felt a little nervous.

Over the years, the old lady hasn't written her many letters.

Her understanding of the old lady was occasionally gleaned from letters from her mother.

In the past few months, Wang Yinhua had been writing in her letters that the old lady's health was deteriorating and she didn't know if she could make it through the year.

Wang Yinhua originally wanted to take care of the old lady, after all, she was her daughter-in-law, and even though her husband was gone, that status still applied to her.

However, Old Mrs. Xu refused, saying that she had Wang Xiuer and her husband by her side and didn't need anyone else to take care of her.

Besides, Wang Yinhua has to go to work, so she doesn't have time to take care of her.

Qin Yunzhou reached out and grasped Xu Sui's hand, their fingers intertwining tightly. He said softly, "I'll go up and knock on the door."

"No need, I'll go." Xu Sui shook her head, took a step forward, took a deep breath, and raised her hand to knock on the door.

A knock sounded, followed by footsteps from inside, and then the door opened.

Who is it?

The person who opened the door was a man in his twenties or thirties, with an honest and ordinary appearance.

This man is Wang Xiuer's husband, named Zhang Ergou.

Upon seeing Xu Sui standing at the door, a hint of amazement flashed in his eyes.

But then he saw Qin Yunzhou, dressed in military uniform and exuding an imposing aura, standing next to Xu Sui. Qin Yunzhou looked at him with sharp eyes, his presence so oppressive that Xu Sui could hardly breathe.

Zhang Ergou immediately looked away, no longer daring to look, and said awkwardly, "Who...who are you looking for? I don't know you."

"I don't even remember having any relatives like you in my family."

"You've come to the wrong door, haven't you?"

They don't look like poor relatives; they probably aren't here to freeload.

Xu Sui looked past Zhang Ergou and into the room, pausing before asking, "Are you Wang Xiuer's man?"

Zhang Ergou was taken aback. "How do you know my wife's name?"

"Are you a relative from his side of the family?"

"That's not right, she doesn't have relatives as wealthy as you."

The couple were from the same village, and they knew each other's relatives very well.

Xu Sui didn't even glance at Zhang Ergou. Instead, she looked up and surveyed the entire courtyard. The rocking chair that the old lady used to love sitting in was gone.

She looked away after a long pause and spoke softly:

"We've come to visit my grandmother."

"Wang Xiuer knows me. My surname is Xu, and my name is Xu Sui."

Just then, Wang Xiuer returned from buying groceries and bumped into two people standing at her door.

She was carrying a shopping basket and didn't look closely, casually saying, "Who's here? Why don't you invite them in for a seat?"

Until Xu Sui turned around and looked up at her.

Upon seeing the familiar face before her, Wang Xiuer paused instantly, stunned, and remained speechless for a long time.

"Cousin...cousin, you're back?"

"When did you get back? Why didn't you say anything?" She seemed very happy and smiled, and warmly invited Xu and his wife into the house.

"Ergou, come here, let me introduce you. This is my cousin, and this is my cousin's husband. They've been away from home for years and only recently returned."

"Cousin, brother-in-law, this is Er Gou, my man."

Zhang Ergou quickly remembered that the Xu family did indeed have such a daughter, and the man she married was no ordinary man. He seemed to be quite capable himself, and it was said that he had been admitted to one of the top universities in the country and had been living away from home for many years.

Surprisingly, the couple were quite good-looking and looked very young, like they were in their early twenties.

He immediately greeted them with a warm smile, "I'm so sorry, cousin and brother-in-law, I didn't recognize you just now. Please forgive me for not being a good host. Come, come, come in and sit down. Don't stand outside."

Wang Xiuer also greeted them, "Look at your cousin and cousin-in-law, they're all family, why did they bring such things over?"

"Don't do that next time. Just come empty-handed. There's no need to be so polite."

Xu Sui glanced at Wang Xiuer and her husband, said nothing more, and then turned to Qin Yunzhou, telling him to carry the things directly into the house.

After entering the room, she looked around and couldn't help but frown.

The old lady was a meticulous person; her house was always kept spotless and decorated in an elegant and unique style.

This house doesn't seem as nice as it used to be. Many of the decorations are gone, and the fine furniture from before has been replaced with some ordinary pieces.

Actually, I didn't think too much about it. After all, this year is different from previous years. We're in the spotlight right now, so we can't attract too much attention. We still have to keep a low profile.

Especially for elderly people like the one who used to own several large pharmacies and a considerable amount of real estate, extra caution and attention are needed.

Perhaps due to the nature of his work, Qin Yunzhou habitually observes his surroundings whenever he arrives in an unfamiliar place, checking for any problems.

He had visited the old lady's place many times before and was somewhat familiar with the environment. Now, the more he looked at her, the more his brows furrowed.

But before the situation was clear, he didn't say anything, only asking, "Where's Grandma?"

Wang Xiuer quickly replied, "Look at me, I was so busy I completely forgot. At this hour, my aunt is taking a nap in her room."

"Cousin, brother-in-law, why don't you sit here and have some tea? I'll go in and see if Grandma has woken up yet."

Xu Sui knew that the old lady had a habit of taking a nap, so she didn't think much of it. "I'll go with you. I've been missing her too."

She then looked at Qin Yunzhou, "You wait here, I'll go in and take a look."

After saying that, Xu Sui didn't wait for Wang Xiuer's reply and walked directly into the old lady's room.

Wang Xiuer panicked and quickly caught up, "No, no need, cousin. You're a guest, so please sit down and rest. I'll go."
