"Old man, you have the wrong person."
Shiyang said softly, without looking back, just holding her hand and trying to pull her hand off.
But Huang Rongzhen refused to let go, her withered fingers still tightly grasped the corner of Shiyang's clothes, and said to her in a slightly crying voice: "Grandma did not admit the wrong person, Yangyang is grandma's little concubine. Don't be with me, little concubine." Grandma is angry, please look back at grandma, okay?"
The pleading tone made Shiyang almost burst into tears.
Finally, she couldn't bear to make the old man sad, so she turned back to look at her and said softly: "Grandma, I'm not angry."
Her soothing tone made Huang Rongzhen grin immediately. He held her hand with both hands. His eyes were still filled with tears, but his tone was gratifying: "My little concubine is still the same considerate person as when she was a child." Good boy, so good.”
Shi Yang didn't know how to answer this, so he could only smile awkwardly.
Shen Linhai didn't take Huang Rongzhen's words to heart very much. She had been talking so confusingly since she had Alzheimer's disease, mistaking A for B and B for C. She rambled on and on, rarely waking up.
He was just surprised by Huang Rongzhen's love for Shiyang and couldn't help but glance at her.
Shangguan Linlin on the side had little contact with Huang Rongzhen, so she didn't know the extent of her dementia. However, this was the first time she saw Huang Rongzhen mistaking Shi Yang for Shen Yu so clearly and directly. From her eyes to her body language, she completely mistook her. Shiyang looked at it as Shen Yu.
She inexplicably remembered Shiyang's absent-minded reaction when he saw her bracelet. She frowned and looked at Shiyang in confusion.
Shi Yang was looking at Huang Rongzhen, trying to persuade her to go back.
Huang Rongzhen was like a child, shaking her head and refusing to leave, wanting Shiyang to go home with her.
Tongtong stood in the corridor and secretly observed the situation at the entrance to the living room. She listened to her father and waited for him to come back at home. She would not go out to cause trouble for her mother, but she was afraid that her mother would be bullied. She stood in the corridor and peeked out from time to time. Now When Er saw the old woman grabbing her mother's hand and asking her to go home with her, the sense of crisis that her mother was about to be snatched away made her forget her father's instructions. She couldn't help but hesitantly walked out of the aisle and timidly called Shiyang: "Mother."
To strengthen her courage, she also held a little baby in her arms.
The sweet voice made Shen Linhai and Huang Rongzhen turn their attention to Tongtong.
The familiar look still made Shen Linhai startled, and he looked at Tongtong absently.
Shangguan Linlin's absent-minded look made Shangguan Linlin even more confused. He couldn't help but glance at Huang Rongghen. Huang Rongghen had already squatted down towards Tongtong, and her eyes were a little sleepy: "Why has my little concubine become smaller again?"
Shiyang had turned back, knelt down, opened her arms towards Tongtong, and asked her softly: "When did Tongtong wake up?"
"just."
Tongtong said, hesitantly walking into Shiyang's arms, but couldn't help but look up at Huang Rongzhen defensively.
She remembers this grandma.
Grandma was lost in the park, and her mother wanted to take her home.
She felt that it was a pity that her grandma could not be found, so she promised her mother to send her home first. But now her grandma is coming to compete with her for her mother, and she is a little scared.
She couldn't help but clenched Shiyang's sleeves tightly with her hands, fearing that her mother would leave with someone else.
Tongtong thought she was afraid of strangers, so she hugged her comfortingly and taught her to call people: "Tongtong, call grandma."
Unexpectedly, Tongtong shook her head stubbornly and held her tighter.
Shiyang was confused and asked her softly: "Tongtong, what's wrong?"
Tongtong's eyes were slightly red, she said nothing, and she opened her arms to hug her.
Shiyang picked her up, rubbed her cheek, and comforted her softly: "Don't be afraid, mom is here."
Tongtong said softly, "Hmm", her eyes passed over Huang Rongzhen's face, who was looking at her bewilderedly, and then moved to Shen Linhai, who was still looking at her absentmindedly. His eyes had changed from defensive to confused. When he saw Shangguan Linhai again, His eyes became aggrieved and unhappy.
Shangguan Linlin didn't care what Tongtong looked at her, he just looked at Tongtong and Shiyang thoughtfully, and then glanced at the confused Huang Rongzhen and the absent-minded Shen Linhai without leaving a trace, the suspicion in his heart became deeper and deeper.
Shi Yang had already looked at Shen Linhai: "Mr. Shen, I have to see the children. I can't entertain you. Please go back."
As he spoke, he looked at Huang Rongzhen again, his tone softened, but he also advised her to go back: "Grandma, can you and grandpa go back first? I will visit you when I am free."
Huang Rongzhen looked at Tongtong she was holding with some disappointment, then looked at her again, her mouth opened, but she still nodded.
Shen Linhai also tried to persuade Shiyang, and his tone was kind and polite: "Miss Shi, can you let us in? Let's sit down and talk."
Shiyang just shook his head apologetically: "Sorry, Mr. Shen, it's inconvenient for me."
"Can I borrow your bathroom?" Shangguan Linlin suddenly said, "Sorry, I want to use the bathroom."
Shiyang glanced at her, hesitated, nodded, and turned away.
Shangguan Linlin seemed to be in a hurry and hurried to the bathroom. He closed the bathroom door with a loud "bump".
Sister Gao was worried and went to the door to watch.
Shangguan Linlin was really in a hurry and wanted to go to the toilet.
But when she went to the bathroom, all she could think about was Fu Jingchuan and Shen Qingyao's out-of-control reactions when they saw her bracelet, and Shiyang's shock when he saw her bracelet. She remembered the time when she told Shiyang that she picked it up. , she seemed to have asked subconsciously, you picked it up too. She thought of Shi Fei's disdain for Shi Yang in his tone when they were eating with her, of Huang Rongghen almost stubbornly pulling Shi Yang and calling her "little girl", and of Shen Linhai watching. When the time came to see my daughter, she looked stunned...
Various coincidences collided and merged in her mind, slowly converging into a vague guess.
Her eyes couldn't help but slowly move to the bathroom floor drain.
There is still some hair tangled in the place used to block impurities.
Shangguan Linlin's eyes paused on the tangled hair. After hesitating again and again, she squatted down in front of the floor drain and stretched her hand towards the hair. Halfway through, she stopped because she felt dirty. She turned around and wanted to leave, but just as she turned around, she stopped. He walked halfway up and stopped again.
When her lower lip was bitten tightly by her upper teeth, she pulled out a few tissues and neatly collected all the tangled hair in the floor drain.
