Wife, please behave yourself.

Chapter 115 Future Grandson

"Mom...no, I'd better go back and change my pants."

Sitting in the back seat of the car, Shen Ruzhi kept tugging at the one-piece dress that just covered her knees.

Wearing a headband and sporting a refreshing, pastoral-style outfit, Shen Ruzhi, who usually prefers comfortable clothing, felt quite uncomfortable.

Those unfamiliar with her might mistake her for a quiet, demure lady upon seeing her attire today.

The sky outside the car window had already darkened as I watched my mother familiarizing herself with the company vehicles.

After more than a month, Wen Yunwei finally got her driver's license.

In less than half a minute, I finally went through the operating procedure in my mind, then fastened my seatbelt and gripped the steering wheel tightly with both hands.

"Let's go pick up your Uncle Liu and his family."

"mom……"

Without giving her daughter time to go home and change her clothes, Wen Yunwei, sitting in the driver's seat, gently pressed the accelerator and drove slowly.

Having already arranged a time with her junior's family, and although there was still an hour before the meeting, Wen Yunwei ultimately decided to set off early, considering the unexpected situations that might arise while driving.

The vehicle drove onto the road.

It was easily overtaken by a number of bicycles that were riding along the side of the road.

Sitting in the car, Shen Ruzhi listened to the constant, urgent honking from behind.

I glanced out the car window and watched as cars changed lanes and overtook me.

Looking at my mother's posture, so focused on the steering wheel that she was practically pressed against it...

I wanted to remind the other person to speed up, but I couldn't bring myself to say it.

They simply sat quietly and obediently in the back row.

Listening to the sounds coming from inside the car from my mother.

"Slow down, drive slowly, safety is the most important thing..."

As it turned out, Wen Yunwei's time management was just right.

The journey from her home to the Mixue Ice Cream store should have taken less than 30 minutes, but she managed to make it take twice as long.

When she pulled the car over to the side of the road, she was so tense that she seemed to have lost all her strength and slumped in the driver's seat.

I took out a tissue from the car, folded it neatly, and gently pressed it against my forehead.

She was so scared she broke out in a sweat because she was driving so fast.

Hearing the sound of the back door opening, Wen Yunwei, who had just caught her breath, hurriedly called for her daughter to stop.

"Zhizhi, open the door for Mom."

"..."

As the driver's side door opened, Wen Yunwei, wearing flat shoes, landed back on the ground. With her daughter's help, she took about ten seconds to recover before returning to her normal self.

I took a deep breath and started walking towards the store.

Liu Changcun's family seemed to be ready to set off.

After accepting the milk tea from Ning Mengyao, the man spoke to her as she silently returned to her seat to read.

"Remember to close before nine o'clock, we probably won't come here tonight."

"Ah."

Not even looking up.

Ever since Liu Changcun told her to focus on improving herself, Ning Mengyao has changed her usual way of doing things.

Although he was still full of energy at work, his conversations with Liu Changcun were not as relaxed and pleasant as before.

Ning Mengyao read the books Liu Changcun bought for her very carefully.

She even prepared a notebook for summarizing her observations while sitting at the cashier.

It contains a lot of text, which seems to be her thoughts after reading the book.

Seeing this, Liu Changcun didn't say anything more.

Compared to how she used to always revolve around him, he would much rather see Ning Mengyao focus on improving her knowledge.

"come on."

He left with those last words, then called to his children who were waiting inside the shop, and walked towards Wen Yunwei and her daughter outside.

Ning Mengyao, who was sitting in the shop, only stopped taking notes after the man's figure disappeared.

The eyelids drooped, and the eyelashes trembled slightly.

She silently counted a few times in her mind until the man's voice outside the shop gradually became indistinct, and only then did she dare to slowly raise her eyes.

Watching the crowd walk towards the cars parked by the roadside, and observing Liu Changcun chatting and laughing with Wen Yunwei...

She remembered Wen Yunwei; she had also visited the store before.

She appears to be Liu Changcun's senior from school.

In men's social circles, everyone seems to be outstanding.

The director who came to the store to film not long ago, or An Zhaoran whom I met once and heard worked at a TV station.

Even the senior student drove here this time.

She's just a bubble tea shop employee, no wonder Liu Changcun implied she wasn't working hard enough.

Ning Mengyao felt downcast upon realizing this.

She glanced down at the books on the table and the notes next to them, forcibly banishing the jumbled thoughts from her mind.

I put down my pen for a moment, raised my hand and gently patted my cheeks, trying to cheer myself up.

If she can also become excellent, perhaps Liu Changcun will look at her with new eyes.

I won't be disappointed in her...

Arrive at the car.

Liu Changcun looked with interest at the senior student who walked to the driver's seat. Although he already knew that she had passed the driving test, he did not expect that she would dare to drive on the road so soon after getting her license.

Such courage alone is enough to surpass most people.

I went to the passenger side, opened the car door, and got in, while the children sat in the back.

Five people in one car, just enough to fit them all.

As Liu Changcun pulled out his seatbelt and fastened it, he saw Wen Yunwei, who had also gotten into the car, leaning back in her seat with her eyes closed and taking deep breaths.

"..."

Looking at the angle the other person adjusted for the seat, it was almost a right angle so that she would almost touch the steering wheel as soon as she sat down.

The already prominent features are therefore even more difficult to ignore.

Seeing that Wen Yunwei had finished adjusting herself and had fastened her seatbelt, I looked at the seatbelt that was tightly fastened in front of her.

My gaze shifted to the other person's face.

How did you manage to drive all this way?

"what happened?"

"Didn't the driving school teach you not to sit so close to the steering wheel?"

"I think it's just right..."

Wen Yunwei knew Liu Changcun's driving skills, and she still regarded his words as the experience of an old driver.

Look at the steering wheel; you can easily reach it by simply bending your arm slightly.

Unsure what was wrong with her driving posture, she was about to turn to her junior and ask him for advice.

With just a slight movement, the steering wheel that was being pressed against emitted an inappropriate car horn sound.

"Ah!" The sudden honking startled Wen Yunwei, and the three children sitting in the back row also turned to look at her.

Wen Yunwei, in the driver's seat, hurriedly moved back until she was no longer squeezed, and then she relaxed.

"I keep running into..."

"Don't get so close to the steering wheel and you won't bump into it."

"The other students at the driving school also had their seats adjusted in the same way."

“It’s fine for a normal person to sit like this, but you, senior…”

Words that are too blunt will ultimately be impossible to say.

Liu Changcun took one last look before reluctantly looking away.

"Please, I'm begging you, please adjust it to the later stages."

"All right……"

Following Liu Changcun's instructions, Wen Yunwei touched the lever under the seat, pulled it back a bit, and when she gripped the steering wheel again, her arms were taut and straight.

I adjusted the backrest angle again, so that I wouldn't accidentally touch the car horn anymore.

The vehicle started moving again.

Looking at the tachometer, which was hovering at less than 20 rpm, and seeing Wen Yun's slightly nervous gaze fixed ahead.

Liu Changcun leaned back in his chair, looking utterly dejected.

He is not going to comment further.

Let her drive slowly.

----------

"I'm sorry to trouble you again..."

"You go in first, I'll come over after I've taken care of things."

Outside the restaurant, Liu Changcun looked at the scratches on the car. He wiped them with a damp tissue, but the marks still showed no signs of fading.

It's obvious that the paint has been damaged to the bottom.

It turns out that driving slowly is not as safe as the general public believes.

Given that Wen Yunwei had only recently obtained her driver's license, Liu Changcun did not want to leave her with any fear of driving.

I decided to let my senior take the children to the private room first, while I got the insurance company's phone number and stayed behind to deal with the minor accident.

The damaged vehicle left its phone number, and Liu Changcun contacted the owner by phone and waited for them to arrive.

Wen Yunwei, looking guilty, led the other three children toward the private room at the restaurant that had been reserved in advance.

Thanks to Liu Changcun for introducing her to the film crew, she was invited to work at her current company.

The products she designed were loved by the public, so her first salary was enough to free Wen Yunwei from the days of worrying about money.

She was genuinely grateful to Liu Changcun. If he hadn't introduced her to the film crew, her designs wouldn't have been noticed by the company.

Being able to shine in the industry she loves still feels like a dream to Wen Yunwei, even now.

Her junior was like her lucky star.

After a chance encounter with him on the bus, her life changed dramatically.

Keep moving towards the positive.

However... I had planned to treat the other family to a nice meal today, but due to my poor driving skills, I ended up with this embarrassing minor collision.

I'm so ashamed to show my face. The first time I drove out, I scratched another car.

"Mom...it's okay."

Perhaps sensing her mother's guilt, Shen Ruzhi, who had been observing her, gently took her hand and comforted her.

Seeing this, Liu Wanqiu also spoke up to comfort the guilty Wen Yunwei.

"Exactly! Auntie's driving skills are great, it's just that the car she parked just now was parked awfully!"

"Speak less."

As the older brother, Liu Songyan quickly raised his hand to cover his sister's mouth. It was obvious that Liu Wanqiu's words of comfort had failed to appease her.

This only made Wen Yunwei, who was already feeling guilty, even more lost in thought.

After all, it was his own younger sister who had caused this trouble, so Liu Songyan spoke kindly to Shen Ruzhi, who was looking in their direction.

"She's never been good with words, so don't take it seriously."

"Woooooo!~"

Liu Wanqiu wanted to say something, but her brother's large hand tightly shut her mouth.

Aside from muttering incoherent words, no one understood what she was trying to say.

Wen Yunwei clearly went all out to treat everyone this time.

The venue chosen for the banquet was the most upscale place in the city.

Therefore, when she was at the company, she specifically consulted with her boss and learned that Gu Nan often invited clients to eat here, which is why she booked the place here.

As soon as the four entered the gate, a dedicated staff member came to guide them.

Bright lights illuminated the entire hall, and the stuffy heat outside vanished without a trace upon entering.

The little girl who escaped from Liu Songyan was very curious. Looking at the surrounding environment, she was amazed that she could see a scene that she could only see on TV in reality.

Before I knew it, I had walked to the front, or perhaps I was too engrossed in what I was seeing, and I didn’t notice the people walking towards me.

She turned around, her face full of excitement, wanting to say something to her brother.

Before she could even speak as she was backing away, she bumped into someone walking by on the other side.

With two soft "tap-tap" sounds, the walnut ornament slipped from my hand, rolled several times on the ground, and slid under the sofa in the rest area.

The incident happened so suddenly that none of them had time to react.

Liu Songyan's expression changed. Having witnessed the whole process, he realized that his younger sister had caused trouble.

Just as I was about to apologize on their behalf, the person who had been bumped into chuckled twice and spoke up.

"Little girl, you're quite strong! Grandpa's arm hurts a bit from your bump."

"Old Zhang, all your daily practice isn't working. Even a light bump from a kid hurts you."

An Junan chuckled and teased, then turned to look at the petite girl in front of him, who wasn't short.

Just as I was about to say something, I noticed the little girl's nervous expression.

His appearance was very familiar to him, but he couldn't quite remember where he had seen him before.

The waiter who led Wen Yunwei and her group hurriedly stepped forward to apologize, while the man called Old Zhang just smiled and waved his hand.

"Grandpa, I'm sorry..."

Looking at the gray-haired old Zhang, Liu Wanqiu, feeling nervous, finally apologized.

"It's okay, it's okay. If you drop something, just pick it up. Don't be so scared, little one. Grandpa won't scold you."

"Then I'll go pick them up for Grandpa."

Upon hearing what Lao Zhang said, Liu Wanqiu, realizing she could make amends, immediately took action.

Running briskly, I arrived at the spot where the walnut collectible had disappeared, and looked at the solid, heavy sofa in front of me.

The little hand reached towards the edge of the sofa, held it steady, and then lifted it up with force.

The sofa, which even an adult would have to struggle to lift, was easily lifted by the little girl.

Old Zhang swallowed back the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

Together with Anju Nan, who was accompanying her, they looked at the small figure picking up the walnut ornament with disbelief.
