"What? You didn't know?" Mrs. Zhang looked extremely surprised.

Mrs. Ma took out her handkerchief and covered her mouth with a smile: "Oh, we already know things you don't know yet. This shows that we are quite well informed!"

"What? Everyone in the capital, oh no, the whole country knows it. Only A-Zhen is still in the dark. You are not deliberately pretending not to know to provoke us? We are already very envious of you for having such a wonderful grandson. , if you do this, we will scold you!"

Several people laughed together.

Chen Zhen frowned and interrupted, asking impatiently: "What? What are you talking about? Please explain to me the scientific research award!"

She looked anxious and didn't look fake at all.

The ladies looked at each other and looked at her in unison: "You really don't know?"

Mrs. Ma smiled and said: "Stop teasing her." She looked at Chen Zhen: "Since you are not well-informed, I will tell you the good news. Your grandson An'an has become so famous recently. Since last night , all kinds of news reports and mobile phone notifications have never stopped. The five-year-old prodigy has won major international prestigious awards, and is an elite member of the ST scientific research institution! And I heard..."

She quietly lowered her voice: "I heard that Academician Zhang is very fond of our An'an and plans to train him as the next heir!" She pinched her waist and said: "This is not my nonsense, Academician Zhang personally admitted it. An'an is good. On my birthday, many big names in the scientific research community sent blessings and gifts. Wow, this row of faces is really enviable to others. By the way, I have your WeChat account, so why don’t I see you wishing An An happy birthday?”

Mrs. Ma slapped her head and thought of something even more wrong. She hissed: "That's not right. Shouldn't you know better than us about An An's award and working in ST? You are her grandmother, why do you want to do this in reverse?" Do you understand it here? It’s really strange..."

Chen Zhen's expression was shocked and stunned. She shook her hand and the tea cup rolled to the ground. The moist heat spread through her shoes and socks. She shivered when she picked up the cup.

After hearing what Mrs. Ma said next, her expression became even more exciting.

Chen Zhen didn't know how long she sat on the sofa in the living room. Her friends who had invited them to play mahjong left one after another, and in the end she was the only one left.

"Mom, I'm back!"

Xiao Jing shouted, which startled Chen Zhen.

She rarely got angry and said: "What are you doing so loudly? I can't hear you?!"

Xiao Jing came over and looked at her inexplicably: "But I usually have this volume." She smiled evilly and said: "You are not guilty of being a thief, are you?"

"Why do I feel guilty for being a thief? I do things aboveboard, why should I feel guilty for being a thief?!"

"No, there is none. Why are you so excited..."

"It's not because of you. If you didn't make trouble every day, I would be extremely happy!"

"Okay, stop arguing, Mom. I have something very exciting to share with you. You know An An..."

Xiao Jing was interrupted by Chen Zhen before she could finish her words. She closed her eyes and said, "Don't mention it."

Xiao Jing observed her expression and felt that there was a bit of embarrassment in her face, and couldn't help but find it very funny: "So you already know."

"What can I do if I know? Go upstairs quickly and don't bother me here!"

"What's going on? Jingjing, did you make your mother angry again?" Xiao Zhensheng strode in from the door wearing a suit.

"What? It's obviously my mother who has a bad temper!"

"Why are you still talking back? Go upstairs and reflect." Xiao Zhensheng said.

Xiao Jing snorted angrily: "You two are really boring."

After saying that, she ran upstairs.

"This child..." Xiao Zhensheng looked at Xiao Jing's figure that disappeared in the blink of an eye, and shook his head helplessly.

"Leave her alone for now." Chen Zhen said anxiously. She waved to Xiao Zhensheng to sit next to her.

Xiao Zhensheng did as he was told and asked with concern: "What's going on? Why are you so distracted?"

Chen Zhen looked at him seriously: "An An... Do you know about An An?"

"What happened to An An?"

"What could happen to An An? I'm talking about him winning the award!"

"So you are talking about An An winning the award. On the way back from the company, many old friends called me to congratulate me. They said that our family secretly cultivated a genius scientist secretly!" Xiao Zhensheng's face With pride and confusion, he asked her: "But isn't this a good thing? Why do you look like this?"

Chen Zhen turned her head away angrily: "You actually ask me why I have such an expression? I just made an agreement with Jiang Ni some time ago not to have any contact with each other, and An An is naturally included. He is colluding with his mother, so of course I am I don’t want to regard him as my grandson anymore. But now, he suddenly has a future!"

She spread her hands: "What do you want to do? What do you want me to do?!" She seemed to think of something again, stretched out her fingers and said repeatedly: "I know, I know! This must be Jiang Ni's intention! She did it on purpose To cover up An An’s strength, she knows that I don’t like her, and she is eager to take my grandson as her own so that our grandson and grandson will never meet again!”

"Why do you keep talking more and more confused..." Xiao Zhensheng said: "Why are there so many conspiracy theories? I think you have been stimulated to something wrong. Why do you keep talking more and more outrageously?" He said with a serious face at this time: "I've told you a long time ago that a family must be harmonious and beautiful. When you insisted on making trouble, you had to bear the consequences today. When An An was not famous, you didn't take her into consideration. Now she is famous. Now, you want to blame others for not being close to you, why do you think this is?"

"Children today are very smart. At least the fear in An An's eyes when she looks at you doesn't seem fake. This is something Jiang Ni can't teach."

Seeing that Chen Zhen had lowered her head to wipe her tears, Xiao Zhensheng could only sigh and comforted her with a soft voice: "It's not difficult to reconcile. You should put down your attitude and be nice to others. They are all relatives connected by blood. How can they Maybe I will never forgive you for the rest of my life?"

"You want me to apologize and show my kindness?" Chen Zhen turned around and said, "I won't go. If I really do this, Jiang Ni won't laugh at me to death."

Chen Zhen stayed up all night and got up the next day with dark circles under her eyes. Before attending the party, she applied a thick layer of foundation to barely cover the dark circles.

As usual, as soon as she entered the banquet hall, many people gathered around her to chat.

"Why does Mrs. Xiao look so bad? Could it be that she didn't sleep well last night? Is there anything that's bothering you? I'm very happy to help you share your worries!"

"You can pull it off. What can Mrs. Xiao have to worry about? I'm afraid she's too happy to sleep."
