Chapter 239: Introducing Someone
“Are the oranges sweet?”
Liu Siyu said, “I’ll give you a bite.” After saying that, she fed an orange slice to her brother.
Liu Siyu opened his mouth and ate it. He happened to smell his sister’s finger. “The orange smell is so strong. Even your fingers smell like oranges now.”
Liu Siyu quickly sniffed her fingers. “Indeed.”
After that, he drove while she continued eating the oranges. She would eat half, then feed the other half to her brother.
Mrs. Liu called them. “Xiaoyu, where are you guys?”
Liu Siyu looked out of the car window on both sides and saw that it was full of crops. She deliberately scared her mother and said, “The wilderness.”
Just as she finished speaking, Liu Siyan patted her head. “Don’t scare mom. We’ll be home in 15 minutes.”
Liu Siyu nodded and did not dare to be naughty anymore. She obediently told her mother where they were. By the time they got home, it was dark.
The Liu family was a big family in the village. Everyone in the village said that there were high-ranking officials in the family for two generations. The daughter-in-law’s net worth was over 100 million yuan. Therefore, every time the Liu family members came back, it would cause a stir.
Liu Siyu got out of the car and saw that the strangers around her were looking at her like she was a monkey in the zoo. “This is Xiaoyu? She’s so big now, and so pretty. Are you twenty this year? Going to school or work? Did you find a husband yet?”
Liu Siyu, who was a little panicked, thought, ‘Goodness, who is this?’
She called out to Liu Siyan, who was getting the gifts. “Brother, brother, come here quickly.”
Liu Siyan put a box of nuts into Liu Siyu’s hands. When he saw the middle-aged woman who had asked the questions, he introduced her. “This is one of our uncle’s aunts.”
Liu Siyu looked at her brother and thought, ‘I don’t even know which uncle you’re talking about!’
Liu Siyan looked at his sister, who was in a daze, and sighed helplessly. She did not return to their hometown often, so she could not even remember the people there.
He placed the fruits on the box of nuts and said, “Bring these in and look for Mom.”
Liu Siyu felt as if she had been pardoned. She ran to the door carrying all the items and shouted, “Mom, Grandma, we’re back.”
Mrs. Liu immediately came out to welcome her child. “Mommy’s here.”
The people at the door saw that the Liu family’s little girl was so beautiful. She looked like a doll. She was dressed in beautiful clothes and had shiny jewelry. Even the bag she was holding looked Western.
“Xiaoyu, do you have a boyfriend?” Someone wanted to introduce her to a boy.
Liu Siyan took the remaining gifts, frowning as she said indifferently, “Don’t ask about Xiaoyu’s relationship status anymore. She’s a student now and her studies are more important. She won’t be settling down with a partner before she graduates.”
Liu Siyu nodded and agreed with her brother. “That’s right, I’m not looking for a partner, and I’m not getting married.”
Just then, Mrs. Liu came out of the house. She was capable and elegant, and her voice was very gentle, but her business partners all said that she hid daggers in her smile. However, if she was not capable, she would not have been able to successfully manage Yanyu Group. She laughed and sent the crowd of villagers away. She ignored all those who wanted to introduce her children to random people.
The three of them took the gifts and entered the courtyard. Their grandma also came out of the house. She was dressed in colorful clothes.
When she saw her grandson and granddaughter, she immediately went to hug them. “My beautiful little granddaughter is bac. You’ve come back to see me. You look even more beautiful, Xiaoyu. You inherited my good looks.”
Liu Siyu smiled awkwardly, and her mother was smiling too.
Liu Siyan put down the gifts she was holding, and his grandmother hugged him too. “My eldest grandson is back too. You look so handsome!”
Liu Siyan was at a loss for words.
Mrs. Liu asked the two siblings to quickly sit down and eat.
Liu Siyan was sitting in the yard and chatting with his mother. “Did Dad go to the hospital to accompany Grandpa?”
“Yes. I’ll take you to see Grandpa tomorrow morning. It’s too late today,” Mrs. Liu said.
“Is Grandfather getting better?” Liu Siyan asked.
Mrs. Liu said, “It doesn’t look good. If his condition can be stabilized here, we won’t transfer him to another hospital. However, the medical facilities here are limited. If necessary, we might bring your grandfather back to Jing City for treatment.”
Liu Siyu also heard that. She hugged her mother’s arm and asked, “Why didn’t you bring Grandpa to Jing City from the beginning? Isn’t the quality of healthcare much there?”
Liu Siyan patted Liu Siyu’s head. “If we could, why have Grandpa and Grandma been staying here for so long? They would have moved to Jing City a long time ago.”
Liu Siyu finally understood that the old man did not want to leave.
Late at night, the neighbor’s dog ran over.
Liu Siyu was scared when she saw the dog. She quickly picked up a stick, as if she was going to fight the dog.
