Shui Anluo looked up at the door. Maid Yu had already gone to open it.

Shui Anluo gulped. She watched as Maid Yu slowly opened the door. The person who walked in appeared before her without giving her any time to prepare herself.

He Xiaoran pushed the door open and her expression was just as chilly as ever.

Shui Anluo hurriedly rose to her feet as she tried to think of what to say.

He Xiaoran had entered with a food container in her hand. She placed it on the table and said, “You’d got wet under the rain earlier this afternoon so I’ve asked someone to make you some ginger tea.” He Xiaoran’s voice may not show any warmth but her intentions were sincere.

“Oh, wasn’t that ginger root a gift for Master last year? Madam, you’ve been keeping it all this time and never consumed it,” Maid Yu chimed in with a grin.

He Xiaoran turned to glare at Maid Yu as if blaming her for speaking out of turn.

Shui Anluo’s heart raced, she simply could not figure out what He Xiaoran had meant.

He Xiaoran reached out to hold the little darling. Shui Anluo did not dare deny her so she had no choice but to carefully hand the little darling over to He Xiaoran.

The little darling was not shy with strangers either. Even though he could not remember his grandmother, he did not struggle. He only babbled as he sat obediently in his grandmother’s arms.

He Xiaoran sat on the couch and Shui Anluo did not have any choice but to open the container. As soon as she did, the thick smell of ginger tea erupted into the air. This has indeed been boiled from good quality ginger root but would it spice her to death?

“I know about what happened today. Lin Qianchen was definitely in the wrong but you need not trouble yourself in the future.” He Xiaoran was talking about how Shui Anluo had ended up getting caught in the rain today.

Shui Anluo felt her heart race even more. Her former mother-in-law’s attitude does not seem right, was she concerned about her?

“Auntie, you…” Was this a soft demeanor before the storm?

He Xiaoran stared at Shui Anluo’s guarded stance but did not get calculative with her.

“I’ve come here today to talk to you about Yuan Jiayi,” said He Xiaoran. She then looked up at Maid Yu. Maid Yu understood her meaning and quickly turned to head into the kitchen.

Shui Anluo sat on the carpet and took a whiff of that piercing smell. She was wondering when her ex-mother-in-law would leave. Maybe she could leave this for Chu Ningyi to drink?

“Aren’t you drinking it?” He Xiaoran knitted her brows and asked.

Shui Anluo chuckled and quickly picked up the container. She inhaled it all in one go. After she had finished it, she stuck her tongue out forcefully and panted but quickly caught herself and retracted her tongue.

He Xiaoran watched Shui Anluo and her chilly expression seemed to grow slightly warmer. She believes she now understood why her son had called her up so seriously and told her how he must have Shui Anluo.

This child has her share of indescribable innocence, or perhaps it could be considered as foolishness. However, this was the type of child who would give one the assurance that she holds no trace of evil intentions.

He Xiaoran began to speak after Shui Anluo had finished her drink. “Yuan Jianyi’s father had once sacrificed himself to save Ningyi.”

Shui Anluo carefully fanned her mouth but she paused a little when He Xiaoran spoke. She turned to look at He Xiaoran. Yuan Jiayi’s father had saved Chu Ningyi’s life, was that why he had not been able to let Yuan Jiayi go?

Was this what her former mother-in-law wanted to tell her?

“Initially, we were happy about the prospect of Yuan Jiayi and Ningyi being together. Unfortunately, Yuan Jiayi’s heart was unstable,” He Xiaoran said with a cold chuckle.

Was she talking about the fact that she had become a model?

Shui Anluo silently wondered.

Or does the Chu family have a habit of rejecting actors and models?
