Ji Shu was lying on the bed in the old house. The room was indeed very clean. It could be seen that it was cleaned every day, but she didn't like it here at all.

In the past, when her parents were still alive, they would occasionally bring her over. Every time, she would timidly hug her mother's legs and hide behind her.

She still remembers her grandfather's expression at that time, which was disgusting.

Ji Shu sighed slightly. If he didn't like her, he didn't like her. She still had her uncle anyway.

Ji Shu was woken up by the cold at night. The wind from outside swept in and blew loudly.

He got up and closed the window and closed the curtains.

I glanced at the time and it was only twelve o'clock.

After waking up, it is difficult to sleep.

She sat on the bed holding her knees.

In the quiet night alone, she thought about last night, and her stomach hurt a little. Jiang Zhijing rubbed her stomach with gentle movements and warm embrace.

Ji Shu was not sure what kind of mood he was feeling now.

After all, he was still in the old house, so Ji Shu got up very early in the morning.

After washing up, I picked out a white dress before going downstairs.

The old man had just woken up and was sitting at the dining table preparing breakfast.

"Good morning, Grandpa."

The old man looked at Ji Shu's clothes and was quite satisfied, with a smile on his face, "You get up so early? Don't you young people all like to sleep in?"

"I want to have breakfast with grandpa."

"Well, I have indeed grown up and become sensible."

Li Wen came down from upstairs with a suit jacket on his arm and said with a dull expression, "Good morning."

"Xiao Wen is going to work soon?"

"Well, the company is busy."

The old man said, "Your uncle is busy, so Xiao Shu should stay here to accompany me, an old man."

Ji Shu smiled and nodded, "Okay, I'll play chess with grandpa later."

Li Wen looked at her with raised eyebrows, "Can you play chess?"

"Uncle, you must have underestimated me. I usually cultivate my moral character."

Only then did the old man laugh loudly, "Look at you, your niece will be shocked. In a moment, grandpa and Xiao Shu will have a discussion."

Li Wen went to work, and Ji Shu sent him outside the door.

Biting her lip, she asked softly, "Uncle, will you be back at night?"

"Ok?"

"I'm scared to live here alone."

Li Wen's eyes were a little heavy, and he buttoned his cuffs, "I'll be back after I finish the work. I'll take you back tomorrow."

Ji Shu nodded vigorously, "Uncle, please pay attention to your safety."

Li Wen looked at the little girl with a clear smile on her face, "You don't have to deliberately cater to others. You are you, not your sister, so you don't need to please him."

Ji Shu watched his uncle's car drive away and walked slowly towards the villa.

Grandpa would never have thought that such a well-behaved daughter would one day get married against his wishes, and would not go home for three whole years. He even chose the former between her husband and her father.

How much does he like Ji Shu, his granddaughter?

Ji Shu even knew that her grandfather had always resented her and her father.

Ji Shu learned chess on the fly last night. He only knew some basic rules, but he couldn't play better than a wily old man.

After losing three games in a row, Ji Shu's mentality was already a bit broken.

The old man smiled, "Xiao Shu is still young."

"Grandpa, you are too much of a bully. How many years have you been playing?" Ji Shu sighed.

"I remember that your mother also studied for a long time. She lost every time she played with me, and finally started to cheat."

The last thing Ji Shu heard from his grandfather was about his mother.

Whenever they talked about this, Ji Shu would just listen quietly, watching his grandfather fall into memories and pain.

Sure enough, after a while, the old man lost interest and sent her out.

After Ji Shu left the tea room, she also knew that her grandfather probably didn't want to see her that day.

She looks like her mother.

Grandpa saw her because he wanted to see his daughter, but Ji Shu was just herself, not anyone else.

In the afternoon, I walked around the yard, looked at the flowers, and then went to the orchard to pick some fruits. It was very comfortable to lie on the deck chair.

It wasn't until night that Sister Zhang came over.

"Little miss, why are you here? It's so hard for me to find you."

Ji Shu smiled and thought, I can let you find it easily, can I still rest this afternoon?

"The young master is back and asked you to come over."

"it is good."

Li Wen was in the study, taking off his suit jacket and rolling up his sleeves casually.

"What's going on in this variety show?"

"The next step was to return the favor to the director, but it was all fake, and he was still with Jiang Zhijing."

"That boy from the Jiang family..." Li Wen muttered.

"It's not like you don't know what happened between him and me since we were kids. I think you should be worried about him and me not fighting on the show."

"I can ignore your work matters, but you have to be sensible and tell me if you have any trouble."

"Okay, uncle, don't worry."

"How about living in your apartment? If not, move back in with me."

"It's no problem. I live quite comfortably and it's close to the company. Besides, I have to make an announcement. I can't live here for more than a few days. Besides, I've been living with you for so long. It's also delaying your search for a girl." Friends, right?" Ji Shu immediately lost his composure.

Li Wen looked over and said, "You don't have to worry about whether I can find a girlfriend or not."

Ji Shu pushed further, "Uncle, I'm not kidding. You took me with you when you were a child. When you have a younger brother or younger sister, I can take care of your children."

Li Wen actually smiled, "Then I have to cover it tightly so that you don't teach me bad things."

"No way, I'm very good."

Ji Shu also unilaterally reconciled with her uncle, although she was quite angry when she was beaten before.

But now her uncle isn't so annoying anymore. He has always been very kind to her.

After her parents died, it was her uncle who took care of her. As a teenager, he was still a child himself and had to take care of her while going to school.

Worried that she would be bullied by the family servants in the old house, her uncle took her to move out.

Ji Shu felt sour in his heart when he thought about those years.

/

After staying in the old house for two days, Ji Shu was finally able to leave.

After having dinner with his uncle in the evening, Ji Shu returned to the apartment.

On the way back, she thought that she would lie down for two days and sleep until noon.

I received a call from Jiang Zhijing in the corridor.

The two of them haven't contacted each other in the past two days, and they don't know what they are calling for at this time.

"what happened?"

The other end asked, "Is it convenient for you to talk now?"

"It's convenient. I'm in the corridor, getting ready to go back to the apartment."

"You're not with Uncle Li, are you?"

"No ah."

"That's good. I'll deliver something to you in my car on the way. I'm afraid no one will open the door for me when you're not at home." Jiang Zhijing smiled.

"I may not open the door for you at home."

"Hey, this isn't interesting enough."

Ji Shu was in a hurry to open the door and enter the house, so he hung up the phone and ignored him.

As soon as the door is opened, the voice-activated lights in the home light up.

Ji Shu paused while changing his shoes.

She was in a hurry when she left, as if she kicked her shoes here casually. Why is she arranged so neatly now?

She was a little confused. She walked to the living room and saw that the pillows on the sofa were placed on the backrest in a regular manner. She had always been unruly and threw pillows away casually.

Ji Shu felt a faint sense of uneasiness in his heart.

The door to the room was closed. Once the door was opened, it was dark inside.
