When Nan Wan drove to Xu Shuyu’s villa, Shen Zhimei was also there.
Seeing her enter, she was somewhat helpless, "Didn’t I tell you not to come? There’s not much stuff, I can help Grandma pack it up myself."
Nan Wan handed her bag to Aunt Jing, taking off her coat while saying, "I’m just free with nothing to do, so I came over to give you a hand."
Shen Zhimei put down the box in her hand, approached, and started picking faults while pinching Nan Wan’s face, "You don’t look so good, there’s dark circles, and your eyes are lacking in spirit..."
Then, she squinted, smirking and teasing, "How is Mr. Mu so inconsiderate, letting you get so tired..."
Nan Wan expressionlessly brushed her hand away, echoing lightly, "Yeah, really inconsiderate."
Shen Zhimei of course didn’t actually think that way; if they had been rolling around in bed all night, she would look rosy instead of so worn out.
Putting away the joke, she looked at her and asked, "What’s going on, did you have a fight?"
Nan Wan casually tied her long hair at the back of her head, with no significant change in her expression, replied blandly, "Sort of."

Xu Shuyu was thirsty and came downstairs for water, turning at the stair corner and seeing the two talking in the living room, she asked as she walked down, "Nannan, why are you here?"
Upon hearing the voice, Nan Wan went up the stairs to help Xu Shuyu down, laughingly saying, "I was afraid that Grandma would find my sister-in-law more caring and would stop loving me, so I rushed over here on the Wind and Fire Wheel."
Xu Shuyu was amused and exasperated, lightly patting Nan Wan’s back before letting her help her down the stairs.
As they walked, she glanced toward the door, not seeing the person she thought would come with her granddaughter.
She felt a bit disappointed, but her face, full of wrinkles, still carried a loving smile, "You child, marriage is tiring, you should rest at home more, there’s not much for me to move, you don’t need to be here, go back on the Wind and Fire Wheel, alright?"
Nan Wan helped Xu Shuyu to the couch, hiding the tiredness in her eyes with a soft smile, "I didn’t do much yesterday, and I’ll just be idle if I go back."
Shen Zhimei poured a cup of tea, placed it on the coffee table, "Your husband’s driver came very early, moving potted plants in the backyard, he’s doing all the heavy lifting, and the rest is enough for me and Aunt Jing. Why don’t you go back and get some sleep?"
With her temperament, if a fight isn’t resolved, it would turn into a cold war, and that’s the most damaging to a relationship. Moreover, there wasn’t much of a relationship between those two to begin with, and one more hit might leave nothing left.
Nan Wan’s eyes darted back and forth between the two conspiring women, deliberately acting all aggrieved, "Grandma, why are you all trying to chase me away..."
Not wanting to go back, not knowing where else to stay, only here could she forget those emotions she shouldn’t have.
Seeing her granddaughter like this, Xu Shuyu couldn’t bear to continue pushing her away, and found her a light task, "Alright, stop pretending, Grandma won’t let you go, you go help me pack up the books in the study."
Nan Wan’s pitiful look disappeared at once upon hearing that, and she blossomed into a smile again.
Hugging Xu Shuyu’s arm, her voice sweet, "Grandma, I want to eat your cooking tonight."
Xu Shuyu agreed, "Okay, Grandma got it."
Nan Wan contentedly took the packing boxes upstairs to the study.
Shen Zhimei felt that her sister-in-law was acting a bit unusual, probably not just a simple quarrel, feeling somewhat worried but didn’t show a bit in front of Xu Shuyu, "Grandma, I’m going upstairs to help Wanwan."
Xu Shuyu, sipping tea, waved her hand from the couch, "Go on, go on, just be careful not to damage my books."
Shen Zhimei replied with a smile, "Got it."

The Mu Family.
Secretary Tang came out of the office with a face full of distress, feeling as if she had taken a walk through hell, her whole body trembling.
Turning the corner, she bumped into Huo Yihan who was whistling his way over.
With a heartfelt persuasion, "President Huo, should you perhaps consider coming back tomorrow?"
Huo Yihan was twirling his car keys indifferently, glanced at the door of the president’s office, and asked with a half-smile, "What, is there a woman inside?"
Secretary Tang’s mouth twitched uncontrollably, wanting to roll her eyes but not daring to.
Maintaining a polite smile, she explained in the mildest tone, "No, President Mu is just... in a bad mood today."
Huo Yihan wasn’t concerned, he wasn’t an outsider and didn’t need President Mu to greet him with a smile, "Make me a cup of coffee, no sugar."
With that, he walked past Secretary Tang, heading towards the president’s office.
