Jiang Yuchu didn't believe such talk. She cared less about feelings than anyone else, and money was the only thing she wouldn't betray.

After packing up his things neatly, Jiang Yuechu told Sister Li some things about variety shows and asked her to help get the relevant information. Sister Li agreed immediately.

Downstairs, Atuo had been waiting for a while. When he saw Jiang Yuechu coming down, he opened the car door for her and took the suitcase from her.

Jiang Yuechu thought it was just a formality, but she didn't expect that when she arrived at the Tao family villa, there was another person present besides Tao's father and mother.

An old lady was sitting on the sofa in high spirits. When she saw Jiang Yuechu, she waved at her, holding a custom-made cane in her other hand. "This is my granddaughter-in-law. She is so beautiful. Don't walk around when you are pregnant. Don't hurt the baby."

Jiang Yuechu was stunned where he was. He didn't expect to meet Tao Runyan's grandmother here.

She was a little at a loss. After all, she had lied, and now she had even deceived Tao Runyan's elders. She felt a little embarrassed no matter how they met.

Tao Runyan walked to Jiang Yuechu calmly, took her arm, and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, grandma is easy to get along with. I will help you out if you have any problem."

As he spoke, Tao Runyan helped Jiang Yuechu walk over, his voice raised a few notches, "Grandma, Yuechu is shy, and I didn't tell her in advance, please don't mind."

Grandma waved her hand and looked at Jiang Yuechu with a smile. The more she looked at her little face, the more she liked it. "You are so pretty. Come on, sit down. Come on, sit down."

Hearing this, Jiang Yuechu stopped being pretentious and sat down next to her grandmother.

Grandmother looked at Jiang Yuechu with great satisfaction, "Before, Runyan's legs and feet were not good, and he didn't even have a girl around him. Unexpectedly, he found a girlfriend and she got pregnant. The ability to act first and ask for permission later is really inherited from his father."

If these words came from someone else's mouth, it would sound a bit ironic, but when they came from my grandmother's mouth, it just made people feel close and cute.

Jiang Yuechu lowered her head slightly and said shyly, "Hello, grandma. My name is Jiang Yuechu. It's our first meeting. I didn't know you would come, and I didn't even bring a gift."

Grandma took Jiang Yuechu's hand affectionately and said softly: "Runyan has never been close to others. You are the first one. Yuechu, grandma can see that you are a good child. You must be good to Runyan."

Jiang Yue initially thought that people from wealthy families were not easy to get along with, but when she saw the Tao family, she couldn't help but think of the Song family.

One was someone she had known for only a short time, and the other was related to her by blood, but after getting along with them, she felt that her relationship with the Tao family was not as good as hers.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yuechu's eyes turned red, and her voice was choked with sobs, "Grandma, I will definitely do it."

"Good good."

My grandmother pulled out a brocade box from the sofa behind her, and took out an emerald jade bracelet from the box, with gold inlaid in the middle to form a closed loop.

"This is a bracelet passed down from our Tao family. Now that it's in your hands, you will be a member of our Tao family from now on."

Jiang Yuchu hesitated whether to take it or not. When she looked up at Tao Runyan, the latter gave her an affirmative look, so she had to take the jade bracelet.

"Thank you grandma."

The jade bracelet felt warm to the touch. It didn't look like an ordinary object and must be at least a hundred years old.

After chatting for a few more sentences, the grandmother was willing to let Jiang Yuchu go into the room to rest.

As soon as he entered the room, Jiang Yuechu couldn't wait to return the jade bracelet to Tao Runyan, "I can't accept this."

Tao Runyan pushed it back and said, "Just take what your grandmother gave you."

"But……"

"During the contract period, you are still the daughter-in-law of the Tao family and must wear the jade bracelet. Do you want to see your grandmother feel lost?"

Before Jiang Yuechu could finish her words, Tao Runyan interrupted her.

Jiang Yuechu hesitated for a moment and said, "Then I will return the jade bracelet to you after the contract is over. I will keep it properly during this period."

Tao Runyan was happy in his heart. Her willingness to accept it was a good start.

Jiang Yuechu thought about it and then remembered the business, "By the way, do you have time to attend the charity dinner in a few days?"

"Yes, I will be there on time."

Jiang Yuechu finally breathed a sigh of relief after getting Tao Runyan's answer.

Seeing that Tao Runyan had no intention of leaving, Jiang Yuechu asked awkwardly, "You, you're not going out?"

Tao Runyan smiled happily, "This is my room, where do you want me to go?"

Well, she forgot about it.

"Then I'll sleep on the recliner over there, and you sleep on the bed."

Jiang Yuechu turned around and tried to leave, but someone grabbed her arm tightly. Tao Runyan's voice rang out immediately, "If someone comes in and sees us not sleeping in the same bed, it will cause unnecessary trouble."

"So you want to sleep in the same bed with me?"

"Can't you?"

This rhetorical question left Jiang Yuchu speechless.

Jiang Yuchu had no choice but to go to the bathroom and change into pajamas, then lay stiffly on the bed. The mattress beside her was dented, indicating that Tao Runyan had gotten on the bed.

The lights went out, and the starlight barely provided some light in the room.

Jiang Yuechu felt completely unnatural. She didn't know how long it was before she closed her eyes after hearing Tao Runyan's breathing as he gradually fell asleep.

The next morning, the sun was shining brightly.

When Jiang Yuechu opened her eyes, Tao Runyan had already gone out to work. The servants said that in addition to handling company matters, he was also involved in some entertainment industry projects and had left home early in the morning.

Jiang Yue was not used to the life of the young lady of the Tao family at first, so she changed into inconspicuous casual clothes and went to the city center.

The previous Chinese medicine shop had a new owner, a middle-aged man in his fifties, with a nearly burnt-out cigarette butt in his mouth. He was obviously stunned when he saw Jiang Yuchu.

"Girl from the Jiang family?"

Jiang Yuechu looked at the other person in confusion, "Do you know me?"

The middle-aged man took a closer look at Jiang Yuechu's appearance and became more certain, "I saw you a few years ago. You were quite thin then. I didn't expect that you have grown stronger and become more beautiful in the past few years."

As far as she could remember, Jiang Yuechu had never seen him before.

"Come, come, come, the things your grandma left for you are still here with me. I was thinking about how to find you, but I didn't expect to meet you as soon as I got here."

The middle-aged man welcomed Jiang Yuechu in with great enthusiasm.

When you step into the Chinese medicine shop, you'll see a completely different look.

The Buddhist shrine stands right in the center of the store, surrounded by flags with talismans painted on them. No matter how you look at it, this place looks like a fortune-telling shop.

After Jiang Yuechu took a look, he noticed a small jar in front of the Buddhist shrine that was particularly eye-catching.

She just reached out to touch it, and a chill passed through the jar to her fingertips, like a knife scraping past them.
