The Chosen System: Counterattack with Husband

After listening attentively to his father's story about his grandmother's past for the thirty-sixth time, Xu Renqing, who was already twenty years old, ran to Bujingju where his grandparents lived with bright eyes as usual, and asked his nearly ninety-year-old grandmother a question that he had asked her countless times.

"Grandma, your experiences when you were young were so legendary, why do I rarely hear you talk about them?"

Xu Renqing, a junior in college, leaned on his grandmother's lap like he did when he was a child, looked up and asked this question that had never been truly answered.

"I never like to look through old almanacs. No matter how glorious the past was, it is only the past."

Xu Renqing blinked his big eyes a few times as he looked at his grandmother, whose face had only a few shallow wrinkles, but his mind gradually drifted away.

Although the thick hair of the person in front of her was mixed with some silver, most of it was still black and shiny, and the hair quality was so good that she, who had just turned twenty, envied it.

If the person in front of her was not actually her grandmother, looking at that face that still exuded a bright and beautiful beauty with the traces of time too subtle, she would definitely not be able to call out the word "Grandma".

Grandma's figure is still graceful, and her temperament is still lazy and charming.

Except for a few wrinkles on her face and some silver hair, she looks almost the same age as her biological mother.

Xu Renqing wanted to ask something, but his grandfather, who was sitting on a recliner basking in the sun, coughed a few times and glanced at Xu Renqing with a threatening look, which seemed to be a reminder, but more like a warning.

The sense of oppression inherited from his blood made Xu Renqing shut up instantly. He obediently made a zipper-pulling motion with his mouth toward his grandfather and blinked innocently.

Grandpa withdrew that oppressive look, leisurely stroked the pitch-black cat lying on his lap, and spoke lazily.

"You, you've asked the same question so many times since you were little. Aren't you afraid that your grandma will get annoyed and throw you out of Never Jing Ju one day?"

Grandpa still speaks with full energy. Like grandma, he seems to have been specially treated by time and still retains some of his youthful handsomeness.

"Humph, I am your granddaughter. Even if I am thrown out, it must be you, Grandpa, who did it!"

Hearing his grandfather mention this, Xu Renqing immediately put away his obedient look, wrinkled his nose in dissatisfaction, and immediately retorted.

"Hey, you kid..."

Grandpa's expression, which had softened just now, changed instantly. In the blink of an eye, he stood up from the recliner, turned his head and narrowed his eyes, wanting to compete with Xu Renqing.

"Cough cough."

But before he could launch the first move, two coughs from Xu Renqing's side immediately stopped him.

Xu Renqing clearly saw that grandma just glanced at grandpa indifferently.

The grandfather who was so imposing just now seemed to have suffered a defeat. He slumped back in the recliner with a sullen look on his face. Before turning back, he gave grandma a somewhat naive smile.

Somehow, the phrase "everything has its own strengths" popped up in Xu Renqing's mind at that moment.

"You want to argue with Qingqing? You might as well change your name to Lu San Sui."

Xu Renqing listened with a smile as his grandmother "scolded" his grandfather in a not-so-harsh tone, then he leaned back on his grandmother's lap, resting his cheek on his hand.

My mother happened to have the same surname as my grandmother, so I took my biological mother's surname, and also my grandmother's surname.

Her name was given by her grandmother, so she has been closest to her grandmother since she was a child.

My grandmother, who single-handedly developed the Tianyu Group she founded when she was young into the number one international enterprise on Blue Star today, has been the richest person on Blue Star for decades.

Even though she had officially handed over all the business to her parents ten years ago, the title of the richest person seemed to be tied to her for life, and she had not taken it off even after ten years.

But Xu Renqing, who had lived with his grandmother since he was a child, always felt that his grandmother was the coolest, most handsome and gentlest person in the world, and never felt the slightest sense of distance from her.

Grandma never forced my father and aunt to inherit her group. In the words of my not-so-old father, it might be that they were subtly influenced by grandma since childhood, and when they grew up they actually developed great enthusiasm and interest in operating and managing the group.

According to him, if it weren't for training him, his grandmother would have planned to retire when she was 60 years old, and would have handed over all the business of the group to the group's vice president, Grandma Xie Yun, and started to enjoy a leisurely life without any worries.

Xu Renqing, who was also influenced by his father, had a strong and innovative business mind since he was a child. He always wanted to work for the group founded by his grandmother, but he always felt that he was missing something.

It was as if the last piece of her puzzle had hidden itself, causing her to always feel that there was a slight sense of incompleteness in her life.

When she was only a few years old, she heard her grandmother occasionally mention her time in Yidali when she was young. At that time, she suddenly felt an inexplicable strong yearning for that strange country, but she didn't understand the reason at all.

She loves her motherland China, so this yearning caused her to have doubts for more than ten years.

It seems like a far-fetched reason to think that I became curious just because my grandma mentioned it.

After thinking about it for a long time, Xu Renqing suddenly felt someone gently pinching his cheek, and he came back to his senses in an instant.

"What are you thinking about? Your eyes are wide open."

Grandma looked at her and smiled gently, but Xu Renqing's eyes suddenly became filled with strange lights and many extremely unfamiliar scenes flashed before her eyes.

She is only twenty years old, and already she has started... a revolving door?

No, the revolving lantern is a scene that leaves a deep impression on people’s lives. She has not even experienced the scenes in person, and they are not part of her memory.

Probably noticing the strange look on Xu Renqing's face, grandma smiled gently, patted her head, and pulled Xu Renqing up from her lap.

"You will have your own adventures in the future. My adventures have passed, but yours will still be waiting for you at some point in the future."

Xu Renqing felt a little strange and didn't understand why her grandmother brought this up, but at this moment she remembered the question she had asked her grandmother many times.

Grandma is saying this now...is she giving herself the answer to this question?

She was about to ask more questions when a figure walked into the courtyard at this moment.

"Miss, sir, Miss Renqing, the meal is ready."

Xu Renqing looked back at Tianxi, who was respectful and well-mannered. He changed the words that were on the tip of his tongue and asked Tianxi a question that was actually related to her own treatment.

"Are my favorite dishes, braised pork and chopped pepper fish head, on the menu today?"

Hearing this question, Tianxi's smile deepened a little, and there was a hint of kindness in his eyes as he looked at Xu Renqing.

"Yes, I made a large portion, which is definitely enough for Miss Renqing to enjoy."

The granddaughter of the host family is the one among her grandchildren who looks most like her when she was young.

Whether it's her appearance or her temperament, sometimes she would have the illusion of going back in time even though she has been on Blue Star for a long time.

Xu Renqing watched her grandmother, whose physique was better than hers, stand up gracefully. She immediately stood up and moved closer, occupying the seat to her grandmother's right.

So what if grandpa saw it? Anyway, grandma was there, and she would never be thrown out of Bujingju.

The man sitting on the recliner sighed, put the black cat down from his lap, and walked over to his wife.

The black cat quietly watched the people walking out of the courtyard. Its dark green pupils were vaguely captured by the sunlight that poured into the courtyard, revealing a strange and gorgeous color.

The gears of time, at this moment, began to turn silently.
