Li Wan was secretly delighted.

"Not at all, Grandma, you're too kind."

She obediently and considerately helped Old Man Ying to sit down on the sofa, and then diligently took out the gifts she had brought for him.

"Grandma, I know you like old things, so today I specially ordered a Suzhou embroidery silk scarf for you with a peony pattern. Do you like it?"

"It was made by a master craftsman surnamed Wu. His embroidery is very hard to buy; sometimes you have to wait a whole year."

The pale pink brocade scarf is embroidered with brightly blooming or half-open pink peonies, so lifelike that it looks as if real peonies were attached to it. It looks both delicate and elegant. The embroidery skills are so exquisite that it would take decades to achieve such a lifelike effect.

Old Madam Ying held the embroidery in her hand, touching it carefully, her eyes filled with joy.

"It's really beautiful, Miss Li. You have excellent taste. This silk scarf is a priceless gem."

Li Wan observed her reaction.

She had a sweet tongue, saying, "Even the most beautiful silk scarf has to be worthy of the person who receives it."

She considerately wrapped the silk scarf around Madam Ying's neck, praising her in various ways, "Look, only a dignified and elegant old lady like you can bring out the beauty of this silk scarf."

Her words touched Old Madam Ying's heart, and the smile on her face never stopped.

She glanced down at the silk scarf around her neck and liked it even more.

"Miss Li has such a sweet tongue, she's made this old woman so happy."

Unlike that guy surnamed Lu, who is completely ignorant.

"Grandma, isn't Yuchuan home?"

Li Wan looked around the living room and asked knowingly, "Why don't we call him out to see? Grandma, you look so beautiful in this scarf, how can we not invite more people out to admire it?"

When her disobedient eldest grandson was mentioned, Madam Ying's face fell, and she casually said, "Don't mention him, he's not home right now."

"Really? What a pity."

Li Wan affectionately took her arm and said in a sweet voice, "Grandma, is Yu Chuan married? I haven't seen him for many years, and I wonder how he's doing now."

"Him..."

The words "He's married" were about to slip out of Madam Ying's mouth, but thankfully she stopped herself in time. She pursed her lips, not wanting to admit to outsiders that Ying Yuchuan was married.

He then turned his gaze to Li Wan, the girl beside him.

This girl named Li Wan is said to be the second young lady of the Li family in the capital. Look at her, she's so graceful and beautiful, so sensible and considerate, and she's also an old acquaintance of Yu Chuan... If you were to bring them together...

This thought immediately popped into Madam Ying's mind.

Li Wan is definitely better than that Lu Luozhi, isn't she?

Look at what she's done to their family! Even the sensible Sang Rou has been corrupted by her.

Thinking of this, Madam Ying's desire to match Ying Yuchuan and Li Wanla together reached its peak.

"Miss Li, Yu Chuan will be away on a business trip for the next couple of days. If he comes back another day, how about you come over to our house for a casual meal? You two old classmates can get together, and this old woman can also take this opportunity to thank you for giving me such a beautiful silk scarf."

Li Wan feigned surprise, "Is it alright, Grandma? Won't this disturb you?"

Madam Ying patted her hand to reassure her, "How could that be? Just come on over. Don't you think I can't make decisions for this family?"

Upon hearing this, Li Wan did not refuse.

"Then Li Wan thanks you in advance, Grandma."

After saying that, she tightened her grip on her arm, "Grandma, you're so kind."

Old Madam Ying couldn't resist such a sweet-talking offensive, and she grinned, "Miss Li really knows how to please people..."

Old Ye listened from the side, his brows furrowing slightly.

Madam, could it be that you meant that?

"Mom, have we had any guests?"

When Sheng Shuang returned from her outing, she heard voices coming from the living room, so she walked over out of curiosity.

When she saw her mother-in-law chatting and laughing with a beautiful stranger, she silently looked at Old Ye standing to the side, asking a question.

Old Ye introduced her casually, "Madam, this Miss Li is Young Master Yuchuan's classmate. She came to see Young Master Yuchuan, but he is not home, so you're keeping her company for a while."

Is Yuchuan's classmate a girl?

Looking at the young, elegant, and well-dressed lady in front of her, Li Wan immediately recognized her as Ying Yuchuan's mother.

She quickly stood up, smiled, and greeted her, "Hello, Auntie, I'm Yuchuan's classmate, my name is Li Wan. I was just passing by today and stopped by to visit him, but I didn't expect him to be away."

Sheng Shuang glanced at her, her attitude somewhat cold, "Hmm, hello."

"Sheng Shuang, don't you think she and our Yu Chuan make a good couple?"

With a smile, Madam Ying asked her, "Miss Li is not only sensible but also sweet-talking and considerate. Nowadays, you couldn't find a girl like her even with a lantern."

"Oh, Grandma, I'm a little embarrassed by what you're saying."

Li Wan blushed awkwardly.

However, upon hearing her mother-in-law's words, Sheng Shuang's otherwise polite expression vanished.

What she meant was that she was still unwilling to give up and wanted Yuchuan to divorce so that he could marry the rich girl she had her eye on.

No, how could she be so senile?

Yu Chuan has been intimate with her countless times, he won't get a divorce, and he won't marry another woman, so why can't her mother-in-law understand?

Doesn't she understand her grandson's personality? Once he's made up his mind, how can you change it?

Now they want to do this again?

Sheng Shuang scoffed inwardly.

At this moment, she agreed even more with Yuchuan and the others' decision to move out.

Moving out was the right thing to do; it saves me from having to deal with the elderly people causing trouble all the time, which is incredibly annoying.

With outsiders present, Sheng Shuang couldn't make a scene, so she made an excuse and went back to her room.

Li Wan didn't stay long; she left about half an hour later.

At this point, Sheng Shuang could no longer control her temper.

"Mom, what do you mean? Do you want Yuchuan to be with this guy surnamed Li?"

Madam Ying snorted, not thinking there was anything wrong with what she did.

"Being with this Li Wan is still better than being with that Lu!"

"mom!"

Sheng Shuang couldn't help but raise her voice slightly, "Are you really going to insist on doing things your own way? Aren't you afraid Yu Chuan will be angry?"

"Ying Yuchuan is my grandson. How dare he be angry with me? What right does he have to be angry with me? I'm doing this all for his own good. If word gets out that the woman he married is from the countryside, what will people think of him?"

In her eyes, what others think and say is the most important thing. Does it matter whether Ying Yuchuan, her eldest grandson, is happy or not?

The old lady spoke to her sternly, "As a mother, can't you properly discipline your children? What kind of wild behavior are they? They weren't like this before that Lu siblings came along. It's because of the Lu siblings that they've become so disrespectful to their elders..."

Sheng Shuang couldn't listen anymore, so she turned and left.

At that moment, she understood why her daughter didn't want to live at home.

If someone kept nagging and saying these things in her ear every day, making her feel uncomfortable, she would leave too.

At least it'll give me some peace and quiet.

She even wanted to stay at the villa and never come back.

Back in her room, she called Ying Huayu.

"I'm warning you, if your mother dares to break up Yuchuan's marriage, I won't let you get away with it!"

Ying Huayu: ? ? ?

What happened that he didn't know about?
