CHAPTER 557: CHAPTER 557 SUDDEN ARRIVAL

Shen Siyuan was sitting on the balcony when Tang Tang suddenly came running over with her little legs.

"Oh~ oh..."

She pointed in the direction of the door.

"What’s wrong?" Shen Siyuan was a bit startled.

But he quickly understood when he heard the sound of the door opening.

Still, he was a bit surprised in his heart. Who would be coming at this time? Mao Sanmei was tidying up the gaming room, and both Ruan Hongzhuang and Taozi had gone to the company.

Just then, Tang Tang ran towards the door again with a silly grin, as if she had only come over to inform him.

"Come on in."

Jiang Yingxue’s voice sounded from the door, and only then did Shen Siyuan realize, quickly getting up to walk over to the door.

"Grandma, han~"

Tang Tang’s joyful voice came from the door.

"Who is this little girl?"

Then another voice sounded, and Shen Siyuan was taken aback, quickly taking a few steps to the door.

"Mom, why are you here?"

"What, can’t I come?" Huang Huijuan was looking around curiously.

"I mean, why didn’t you let me know before you came?"

"Why should I let you know? Do you have something to hide from me?" Huang Huijuan scrutinized him, quickly furrowing her brow.

"What do I have to hide?"

"Who is this, and why have you kept a child this big a secret from me? No, that’s not the point now. You don’t look well... your face is so pale, are you hurt?"

Huang Huijuan stepped forward, a bit worriedly reaching out to touch Shen Siyuan’s face.

"I’m fine, I’m doing great."

"What do you mean fine? Look at how pale your face is. How did it come to this? Don’t tell me... don’t tell me... →_→" Huang Huijuan looked doubtful.

Then turned to look disapprovingly at Jiang Yingxue.

Truly, in times of no issues, she’s a good sister; when there are issues, she looks to her sister.

"Mom, what are you imagining? Don’t look at Aunt Jiang."

"What am I imagining?" Huang Huijuan retorted.

Shen Siyuan: ...

He naturally knew what Huang Huijuan was thinking, probably suspecting he was overindulging, but discussing such a topic with her was awkward.

"Come in, don’t block the doorway."

Shen Siyuan stepped aside to let them in, finally noticing the many items at the door, and quickly moved to help bring them in.

"Where did you come from?" Shen Siyuan asked casually.

Lately, Huang Huijuan had been traveling everywhere with Jiang Yingxue, even making Shen Jianjun complain, though he wouldn’t say it himself and insisted Shen Siyuan call Huang Huijuan to confront her.

"Altai," Jiang Yingxue said.

"You went to Altai at this time?" Shen Siyuan’s eyes widened.

While everyone from the North was heading South, they went North, to the coldest place.

"Your mom said she hasn’t seen much snow and hasn’t skied before, so I took her to experience it," Jiang Yingxue explained.

"Isn’t it too cold for you?"

Shen Siyuan turned to look at his mother, who was crouching down, playing with Tang Tang.

She naturally loved kids, having taught elementary school for years, her personality was child-like too, so seeing Tang Tang, she couldn’t resist engaging.

And being a teacher, she would crouch down to talk with Tang Tang, a detail many adults often overlook.

When someone talks down to another, it can be oppressive and create distance, especially with strangers, so crouching down quickly bridges the gap with a child.

But clearly, she miscalculated. No matter how many times she spoke, Tang Tang just looked at her with curiosity, without any response.

Shen Siyuan helplessly said, "She can’t hear you, so don’t waste your effort."

"Huh, can’t hear?" Huang Huijuan was surprised upon hearing this.

But quickly reacted, urgently asking, "Is it congenital or acquired?"

"Congenital, we’ve already taken her to the hospital," Shen Siyuan replied.

"What a shame." Huang Huijuan stroked her head with pity written all over her face.

"This is Grandma Jiang..."

Shen Siyuan pointed at Jiang Yingxue, then at Huang Huijuan.

"This is Grandma Huang..."

"Grandma Jiang is Sister Ruan’s mother, and Grandma Huang is my mother," Shen Siyuan pointed at himself.

"She can’t hear you saying all this..." Huang Huijuan was speechless.

Just now he told her not to waste her efforts, but here he was, chattering away.

But before she could finish, Tang Tang grinned and said, "han~, Grandma Huang."

Then turned to Jiang Yingxue, "Grandma Jiang."

Huang Huijuan: ...

"Are you teasing me?"

She raised an eyebrow, ready to be upset with Shen Siyuan.

"Alright, just because you talked, doesn’t mean Tang Tang can’t hear Xiao Shen," Jiang Yingxue stepped forward, stopping Huang Huijuan from teaching her son a lesson.

She knew Shen Siyuan was no ordinary person and also knew Tang Tang was extraordinary.

With these two having some irrational behavior, everything seemed rational.

Upon hearing Jiang Yingxue, Huang Huijuan realized, looking at Tang Tang, and asked Jiang Yingxue, "Why didn’t you mention this before?"

"You never asked,"

This statement, really, who would ask such a random question out of the blue?

But Huang Huijuan was evidently used to this style of conversation between the two.

"What’s her relationship with Siyuan?"

Instead of asking Shen Siyuan, she inquired with Jiang Yingxue.

"This is a long story..."

Jiang Yingxue walked towards the sofa, and Huang Huijuan immediately trailed right behind her like a little tail.

Seeing this, Shen Siyuan sighed, it seemed Huang Huijuan was easily handled by Jiang Yingxue.

But thinking about it, it wasn’t surprising. An elementary school teacher didn’t have much social experience, while a businesswoman, decisive and shrewd, would easily outmaneuver Huang Huijuan.

However, Shen Siyuan didn’t say anything because he knew, with him around, Jiang Yingxue wouldn’t do anything to Huang Huijuan, and they had no conflicts of interest, with years of friendship between them.

Jiang Yingxue waved at Tang Tang.

Tang Tang happily ran over, and Jiang Yingxue lifted her onto her lap.

Then gently touched her forehead with her own, smiling as she asked, "Did you miss Grandma?"

"han~"

Tang Tang grinned dumbly.

Jiang Yingxue couldn’t resist kissing her cheeks lightly on both sides.

Seeing her adorably silly look, Huang Huijuan, sitting on the side, instinctively reached out, hoping Jiang Yingxue would let her hold her too.

"How does this child not hear people talk? With Siyuan being so capable, aren’t there any ways?" Huang Huijuan looked at Tang Tang, growing fonder the more she looked.

Jiang Yingxue began explaining Tang Tang’s background.

Hearing this, Huang Huijuan was quite dissatisfied.

"That rascal keeps everything from me, tells me nothing. This big house, and this child, who knows how many more secrets he’s hiding..."

She looked around, searching for Shen Siyuan, but ended up making eye contact with Mao Sanmei, who had just come out of the room.
