Chapter 42 I am at my grandmother's house
Yuan Xi’s grandmother’s home is in Lianbu Village, next to Huxi Village, and is also surrounded by Ruo Lake.

Yuan Xi seldom comes here. The last time was two years ago when it was the winter solstice and he didn't have to work overtime. Yuan Xi came to visit his parents' graves and took a look at his grandparents when he passed by here.

"My navigation only led me to Lianbu Village. How did you know my grandmother's house is in this village?"

Yuan Xi asked Huo Shiyan curiously.

After Huo Shiyan stopped the car, he touched his nose and said, "If all the villages by the lake are to be demolished, I will pay special attention to the place where your relatives live."

Yuan Xi understood that apart from the villagers, few people were as familiar with the village roads as Huo Shiyan.

Yuan Xi took the gift and walked to a large iron gate. There was a grape vine next to the wall inside. "Grandpa, grandma."

"Sister!" A young man came over to open the door, and when he saw Yuan Xi, he smiled and said, "Sister, I haven't seen you for a long, long time! I must pass the exam to the Labor Bureau and punish that evil capitalist Gu Hanchen."

Yuan Xi looked at the boy who was much taller than him and smiled faintly, "Aren't you going to take the college entrance examination soon? How come you have a day off on Saturday?"

"Times have changed. We are now mainly focusing on stress relief. Senior year students have two days off on Saturdays and Sundays. We even went on a spring outing a while ago."

"I'm so envious. We used to have to go for two weeks straight."

Yuan Xi looked at Huo Shiyan behind him, "Xiao Hao, this is your brother-in-law."

Liang Hao looked at Huo Shiyan in front of him with a look of disdain, "What a pretty boy!"

Yuan Xi: "Xiaohao, you can't be so rude."

Liang Hao: "No matter how impolite I am, I am still more polite than him. He married you without saying anything to us. When Brother Zhuangzhuang left, he told me to keep a close eye on you and not let any man cheat on you so easily."

Yuan Xi was very helpless. That was more than ten years ago. Liang Hao was still in kindergarten at that time. It was a miracle that he could remember it for so long!
Liang Hao: "You are so thin and weak, you can't compare to Brother Zhuangzhuang who is strong and capable of protecting people."

Yuan Xi looked at Huo Shiyan. Huo Shiyan could not be described as skinny. He actually had quite a lot of muscles...

"I'm sorry, my brother is young, he was just joking."

Huo Shiyan chuckled and said, "I don't mind."

Liang Hao: "I'm an adult, not young anymore, but you married me without telling my family. I had to watch the trending searches to find out about your marriage. What's wrong with saying a few words to him?"

"Xiao Xi, you're back!"

"Xiao Xi, I haven't seen you for a long time. You've lost weight again."

Yuan Xi saw two elderly people coming out and gave them the gift, "Grandpa and grandma, this is Huo Shiyan."

Grandpa Liang looked at Huo Shiyan and asked in broken Mandarin, "He looks good and tall. Where is he from? What does he do?"

Huo Shiyan said: "Grandpa and grandma, I am from City A. My family runs a hotel. I am now an investor and am currently participating in the renovation project here in Ruo Lake."

"Wait, Huo Shiyan..." Liang Hao said, "Is that Huo Shiyan, the super-rich young master of Shiyi Group?"

Huo Shiyan smiled lightly, "Yeah."

Liang Hao sighed, thinking that there might be no hope for Brother Zhuangzhuang.

A middle-aged woman came in through the iron gate: "Xiaoxi, you're back. I didn't believe Xiaohao when he told us you were coming back. I haven't seen you for a long time. Your uncle can't take a leave from the company, and he misses you. Xiaohao said you would definitely come back. I went to the restaurant to pack up some dishes, and I'll cook two more dishes later."

"Aunt." Yuan Xi called out when she saw the woman coming back from shopping, "Don't bother, we can just eat something casually."

Huo Shiyan followed and shouted, "Aunt."

Aunt Liang smiled and said, "Xiao Xi, you have good taste. We still find it incredible that you are married. Whose child is this?"

Liang Hao: "It's from the super super super rich Shiyi Group!"

Aunt Liang was very surprised, but smiled again, "Xiaoxi deserves it. Life is finally getting better and better. My sister and brother-in-law will rest in peace if they know. It would be even better if Xiaoxi could find her relatives."

Yuan Xi said: "I found it."

Grandpa Liang asked, "Found them? Where are they from?"

When Yuan Xi was about to answer, her cell phone rang, "Hello, Mom."

"Xin'er, where have you been?"

Yang Ying saw that it was almost eleven o'clock and she hadn't seen Yuan Xi yet, so she called to ask.

Yuan Xi replied, "I'm at my grandmother's house." Yang Ying glanced at the Yang family's courtyard, "You're at your grandmother's house? I'm there too, so why didn't I see you? Where are you? Is this your first time at your grandmother's house..."

Yuan Xi bit her lip and said, "Mom, I'm at my own grandma's house, at my grandma's house next to Ruo Lake."

Yang Ying frowned and said angrily: "Xin'er, they can only be regarded as your buyers. It's already a good thing that our family will not pursue their responsibility. How can they be regarded as your own grandmother's family? Your grandmother's family is the Yang family!"

Yuan Xi said softly: "Mom, they are my grandparents whom I have called for twenty-six years."

Yang Ying: "Come to Yang's house right now. I'll send you the address on WeChat. Come over right away."

Yang Ying hung up the phone after she finished speaking.

"I know you like to eat shrimp. Today, your grandfather went to catch shrimp when he heard that you were coming back. He actually caught quite a lot of river shrimp. I just cooked them. You can eat them while they are hot."

Yuan Xi listened to her grandmother's voice, saw the WeChat message from Yang Ying, and replied: "Sorry, I can't go."

Yuan Xi sent another message to Gu Hanchen and Monica, asking them to contact Huo Shiyan if they had any work-related issues, and then Yuan Xi turned off his phone.

Yuan Xi put down his phone and said, "Grandpa, don't go down to the lake to catch river shrimps. It's too dangerous."

"I grew up by the lake, so I know how dangerous it is. I heard that this house is going to be demolished soon. After it's demolished, it will be difficult to eat Ruohu shrimps."

"It's not difficult. He is the big boss who bought our place." Liang Hao pointed at Huo Shiyan.

Grandpa looked at Huo Shiyan in surprise.

Huo Shiyan smiled faintly and said, "After this place is demolished, a high-end villa area will be built. Then I will leave one for my grandparents, and they can continue to live by Ruo Lake."

Liang Hao said: "A villa, wow!"

"We can't accept this." Aunt Liang glared at Liang Hao.

Huo Shiyan said: "It's okay, we are all family."

Aunt Liang said, "We really can't ask for it. We owe Xiaoxi enough. When she was in the most difficult time, our family didn't help her. Later, her grandparents went to City A for surgery, and she helped to arrange the medical expenses and the experts. We really can't ask for anything. It's good that you have the intention. Sit down and eat first."

Aunt Liang wiped the table again and put the packed dishes on the table. "Xiaoxi's husband, please don't be disgusted. We didn't know Xiaoxi was coming at first, and it was too late to buy vegetables, so we thought of packing them up for dinner. We have pumpkin and eggplant grown at home, I'll go and fry two bowls..."

Huo Shiyan said: "It doesn't matter, I'm not picky."

Yuan Xi: "Aunt, it's okay. You don't have to cook anymore. Let's sit down and eat together."

Aunt Liang said, "You love eggplant the most. It's quick to stir-fry, and the ones you grow yourself are pretty delicious."

"Excuse me, aunt."

Grandma Liang asked Yuan Xi, "You said you found your biological parents. Are they good to you?"

Yuan Xi: "It's good. You won't believe it if I tell you, but my biological parents are the CEOs of Chu Neng Group, the same Chu Neng Group that gives us calendars every Chinese New Year."

Liang Hao: "Fuck, aren't they the richest people in Jiangcheng? Sister, you are actually the daughter of the richest person in Jiangcheng? Fuck, how come this hasn't been on the news? No, that person who accidentally liked the comment online saying that your diamond is a fake diamond, isn't she also a daughter of the Chu family?"

Yuan Xi said: "It's a long story. I'll explain it to you slowly after dinner."

Yuan Xi's grandfather sighed and said, "We are so sorry for you. If you had started looking for your biological parents since you were young, you wouldn't have to suffer so much in our family. We are really sorry for you..."

Yuan Xi said: "Grandpa, don't say that."

Liang Hao whispered: "Indeed, if your aunt and the others hadn't kept it from you, you might have returned home and become the eldest daughter of the Chu family..."

Yuan Xi said, "It took me eight years to find my biological parents since I started looking for them. Maybe they knew I was adopted since I was a child, so I might not have been able to find them earlier. Let's eat."

……

Yang family.

Yang Ying looked at the message sent by Yuan Xi on her phone, feeling angry and sad.

When I called again, the phone was turned off.

"Mom." Chu Lin came over and asked, "What's wrong?"

Yang Ying took a deep breath and said, "Give Xin'er a try..."
