: "That's because Grandma didn't let me tell you and Mom, saying that you would definitely take it away."Aunt Bai was taken aback, and then her usually stern face seemed to come alive with a myriad of...She has always been fond of history and culture, and antiques can fetch a higher price than ordinary goods.

Tang Lao waited and waited, watching as the food turned cold. He could only helplessly urge them to eat: "Eat first, people are steel, and rice is iron."

Ning Yuan and Xia A-Po only then put down the bowl and ate together.

At the dinner table, Rong Zhaonan remained silent as always. He wasn't a talkative person, and Ning Yuan didn't think much of it.

Tang Lao was looking rather displeased, as if still upset about Rong Zhaonan.

Ning Yuan felt a little strange, but she didn't want to ask about this grandfather-grandson pair.

After finishing dinner, she helped Xia A-po wash the dishes and then got ready to study and do her homework.

Rong Zhaonan, as usual, quietly started to tidy up the yard. But just as he picked up the broom, someone stopped his hand.

Tang Lao said coldly.

He turned his head, only to see Tang Lao unceremoniously take the broom: “As a humble toilet cleaner, I wouldn’t dare trouble Master Rong with sweeping my courtyard.”

Rong Zhao Nan: "..."

How could he not have noticed that the old man had a bad temper Are all old intellectuals like this, one after another

Previously, he was affectionately called Xiao Nan. Now, with Ning Yuan around, people call him "Gongzi Rong," a bourgeois title.

Watching Tang Lao stoop over as he swept the courtyard, Rong Zhaonan closed his eyes and rubbed his temples.

He took a few steps over and snatched the broom from Lao Tang's hand: "You old man, don't be so stubborn. If someone didn't know better, they'd think Ning Yuan was your own granddaughter the way you're protecting her."

Tang Lao glared angrily: "Old man, at my age, I won't have any more disciples. In terms of seniority, I treat her as my granddaughter because she's the youngest, so what"

Rong Zhaonan looked at the stubborn old man in front of him, couldn't help but furrow his brows, and finally looked at Ning Yuan in the distance with a blank expression.

You know, she got the marriage license for me. I'm not sure if she truly wants to be with me forever. You can probably see that she has her own mind and makes her own decisions.

Ning Yuan had said that once she returned to the city, she would go through with a divorce with him, and she said it with absolute certainty.

She was lying in bed, half asleep and cuddling up to him. If not for the fright she had experienced yesterday, she would have been sound asleep in his arms.

She usually slept on the edge of the outer bed, like a startled bird, because marrying him was a last resort.

Tang Lao was startled, so... wasn't the young man Nan worried that Ning Yuan might not actually like him, or perhaps even have someone else she liked, which is why he wouldn't take her back to Beijing

The old man hesitated for a moment: "When I was collecting manure, I heard some educated youths from that side mention that someone had introduced a partner to Xiaoyuan, the deputy head of the production team, Li Yan. Could it be...Xiaoyuan had a crush"

If that's the case, Xiaoyuan gave up on her sweetheart to protect Rong Zhaonan. She really made a big sacrifice.

Rong ZhaoNan suddenly felt that the food he had just eaten was bland and tasteless. He pushed up his glasses on the bridge of his nose and remained silent: “...”

He wouldn't bring Ningyuan back to the capital, of course, it wasn't just because of this reason, but also because he hadn't figured out Ningyuan's background yet.

There's also a murky situation in the capital, making it unclear what will happen next.

But when Tang Lao said that, for some reason, I felt a little uncomfortable.

Yeah, maybe that little spy was hiding in the village and ended up falling for Li Yan.

Otherwise, if she were to come at him for information, why would she bother with any emotional entanglement with Li Yan

Even if she wasn't an agent, it was clear she had once been in love with Li Yan.

Otherwise, she wouldn't understand Li Yan so well, and Li Yan wouldn't act as if he had been robbed of his woman and was warning him with a drawn sword.

Isn't this cunning Angora rabbit waiting for him to return to the capital city, and then divorce him to be with Li Yan again

Well, then what does he amount to

As soon as Rong Zhaonan thought of this, his face involuntarily darkened. seeing her staring at him, but she couldn't help but swallow nervously. Her whole body was thin, dirty, and stinky.She carried the pot and suddenly walked toward the front of the path: “Okay, I remem...
