“I see.” Du Wei did not dare to ask further, afraid that she would ask something that she should not know.

Lin Jiao answered the question she wanted to ask. “Although we’re not biologically related, we have the same grandfather.”

“God grandfather?”

“God grandfather? He’s my real grandfather.”

At this moment, Zhou Yanshen joined the conversation.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

He thought of that dangerous summer. “If not for the old man, I’m afraid I would already be buried six feet under.”

It was probably when he was eight years old.

At that time, he went to his grandmother’s house for a short stay during the summer vacation. Because it was too hot and he was naughty, he followed a group of kids to the river to swim.

They competed to see who could swim further. He was competitive by nature and swam deeper into the river, but before he could stabilize himself, he was washed away by the sudden current that ran down from upstream.

The companion closest to him was frightened to see him struggling. However, not only did he not reach out to pull him back, but he also left him behind and swam back with all his might.

Even after all these years, Zhou Yanshen still remembered the fear, helplessness, and panic of facing death.

He was wrapped in the torrential current and was slowly drowned. No matter how he struggled, it was all in vain.

The cries for help were getting louder and louder.

Just as he was about to lose all his strength, an old man fishing on the shore swam towards him.

He still vividly remembered the anxious expression on the old man’s face and his comforting voice.

After that…

Under the suggestion of his parents, he acknowledged the old man as his grandfather and had been accompanying him from then on in a bid to show his gratitude.

“Fortunately, you were saved.” Du Wei pounced into his arms, her eyes red. “I’ll also treat him as my own grandfather in the future.”

Zhou Yanshen lowered his head and kissed her forehead.

He did not agree or refuse and changed the topic. “Jiaojiao, have you been to see him recently?”

“No.”

“Then shall we go together next week?”

“Okay.” Lin Jiao wiped the watermelon stain off her lips and was about to ask Pei Zhi when she was interrupted by Chu Yuzhou.

“Brother Yan, it’s six o’clock.” He waved his phone to remind him of the time. “If we don’t start eating, I’m gonna starve to death!”

Zhou Yanshen glanced at him in disdain.

He raised his chin at the round table on the right. After everyone was seated, he called the waiter to serve some dessert.

“Jiaojiao, I heard you broke up with Gu Quan?” He fed Du Wei a piece of macaroon as he asked.

Only he had the guts to ask her this question in public.

Other than Pei Zhi, the others were all observing Lin Jiao’s expression. Seeing that there she didn’t look angry, they heaved a sigh of relief.

“Yes, it’s been a while.”

“Why?”

“He’s with someone else.”

Lin Jiao looked up and met his angry and worried eyes. “Don’t worry, I don’t like him anymore.”

She wasn’t lying.

She really did not like Gu Quan anymore.

“That’s good.” Zhou Yanshen could tell that she was not pretending to be calm.

He suppressed the anger in his heart and thought that when she was not around, he would discuss with Pei Zhi and the others about teaching Gu Quan a lesson.

“Jiaojiao.” Du Wei filled her glass with juice. “If you are ready to begin a new relationship, I can introduce some people to you.”

“She doesn’t need you to introduce people to her.” Zhou Yanshen glanced at Pei Zhi and smiled meaningfully. “There are plenty of people who want to woo her.”
