The cell phone's screen flickered as it rang. He took a glance at the screen and saw that it was his grandma.

Li Shusi picked up the phone, listening to his grandma's nagging.

"Si Si, come back for dinner tonight. Grandmother misses you."

It had been a long time since he had returned to the Li family's residence. Other than his grandmother, he did not want to see anyone there.

The man's expression turned slightly cold. Inevitably, he hesitated. "Grandmother, I …"

Before he could finish his sentence, his grandmother scolded him, "What did I say? I want to eat at 6 o'clock sharp."

With a "pa" sound, the other side had already slammed the phone down.

Li Shusi, "..."

At 5: 40 he drove up to the house.

The historic two-story building was said to have been the residence of a pre-liberation national entrepreneur.

Then his grandfather bought it.

The man sat in the car and stopped in front of the door. He looked at the dignified gate and didn't want to go in.

At six o'clock his grandmother called again and he pressed the answer button.

It was Grandma's deafening voice on the other end of the phone. "Why aren't you back yet? There's a whole table waiting for you."

Li Shusi let out a light sigh, "I'll be going in immediately."

After putting away the phone, he opened the door and slowly got out of the car.

Sure enough, the whole family was sitting at the dining table, waiting for him to eat.

His grandmother saw him enter the room and greeted him with a smile. "Come, come, little brat. Sit by my grandmother's side."

The man walked up to his grandmother, nodded to the table full of people, greeted them, and sat down.

His mother was there, sitting across from him.

She was a forty-six-year-old mother with her hair tied high in a bun. She wore a long, red silk dress and dressed decently. She always looked like a rich wife.

Before he could sit still, Mother Li asked, "Shi Si, why did you come back so late?"

With cold eyes, Li Shusi said indifferently: "I was delayed for a while because of something temporary."

Her son looked indifferent, which made her feel uncomfortable. "You don't have to be like this with me. If there's nothing else, I won't bother to call you."

The man didn't say anything. He crossed his hands on the tabletop and sat down quietly.

The Madame Li sat upright, his eyes unspeakably stern, "I just want to ask you, when do you plan on marrying Ruoxi? "He's been engaged to you for more than two years."

He didn't want to bring up this topic, so he replied half-heartedly, "We'll talk about the marriage later."

Mother Li looked at him and frowned. She lightly pursed her lips and said unhappily: "Every time you say wait a while, I don't know what to say when I see mother Ruoxi."

Li Shusi lowered her eyelids, "We will definitely consider it carefully."

His mother was very unhappy. "Don't keep pushing. You're not young anymore. You're not in a hurry, and I'm still in a hurry to hug my grandson."

Li Shusi no longer spoke and with a crease between his brows, his ink-black eyes drooped and there was not a single emotion on his cold face.

Seeing that he did not speak, Mother Li also turned her face away, no longer looking at him. She became sullen.

She muttered to herself, "You are usually quick and decisive when it comes to handling company matters. You become neither hasty nor impatient when it comes to marriage matters."

For a moment, the atmosphere in the restaurant was chilly.

No one didn't say anything anymore.

The grandma sighed and said, "Enough, don't talk anymore. What can be more important than eating? Hurry up and eat." If you have anything to say, let's talk after dinner. "

Then, she pulled his hand over and caressed it, her eyes filled with love. "It's been a month since I last came back, let Grandma see. They've all gotten skinnier."

Seeing his grandmother's kind face, Li Shusi's expression softened a little, and said filial: "Grandma, I'm not skinny. But you, you must take care of your health. "

As he spoke, he picked up a piece of winter melon and crab meat and placed it into Grandma's bowl.

The warmth from their meal broke the previous silence.

Madame Li scooped up a bowl of soup and used a spoon to drink it neither fast nor slow, his eyes moving between the two of them.

The meal was more or less harmonious with the interaction between the grandfather and grandson.

When Grandma put down the tableware, Li Shusi stood up slowly. "I'm full, so I'll go back first."

Mother Li pulled her chair back a bit, raised her head, her brown eyes glanced at him, "Don't be in a hurry to go back, I still have something to tell you."

Grandma held onto the armrest of the dining chair and glanced at Madame Li, shaking her head slightly. Her silver hair under the crystal lamp was flashing with a weak light.

As a daughter-in-law, she loved to mess around.

After Li Shusi heard his mother's words, his body that had just stood up, slowly sat down again.

Mo Tong looked at his mother with an absent-minded expression, waiting for her to speak.

She saw her son sitting down, and said with a hint of a hint: "I heard that Ruoxi was sick these past few days, so you shouldn't run around, and mind your own business. Take good care of her."

As long as his mother talked, she would not leave Qiao Ruoxi.

There was still an indifferent aura in his eyes. The man smirked and said, "Yes, I know. She's almost all right. "

She continued to ask: "When will Ruoxi be discharged? I had my flowers sent. "

He maintained his indifferent look. "I'm still staying at St. Ann's Hospital. I'll be able to recover and leave the hospital in a few days."

Seeing that he was in a good mood, Li Mu's mother suppressed her anger and continued, "It's best if you get a cold. Exactly half a month later, there will be a variety show called 'Love Clashes' on TV. That director, he knows me. "He's already taken in the temperament and appearance of you and Ruoxi. Call him and tell him to send you guys to the tournament. I've already agreed to his request.

Hearing that, Li Shusi frowned, his black eyes had an annoyed look, he rejected: "I don't want to join any TV show, just push it away."

"It's fine if you push the matter of the marriage a little, but it's a life and death matter after all. However, you must not push the issue of participating in the program. You must listen to me this time.

The man pursed his lips once again and said with an extremely cold voice, "I'm really not interested in this kind of thing. Let's cancel it."

"No, how can we cancel the deal? The two of you must attend this program, and let the two of you join in the show to improve your relationship with Ruoxi."

"We've always been fine. There's no need to participate in any competitions. "

He didn't want to go, so he said, "Mom, don't worry about me. I know what to do. I will take care of the matters regarding Ruoxi and I. "

This son had been rejecting her the whole night, and his mother couldn't suppress her anger any longer, "Are you not going to listen to my words?" If I let you marry but you don't want to, if I let you join a program and don't go, then I don't have any way to follow my heart. Do you think you can scare me to death? "

Li Shusi's clear and cold eyes darkened, but she did not make a sound.

"I've heard a lot of rumors and slanders lately. If you don't want to go with Ruoxi, you must be thinking about finding that girl with the Mu Family again, right?"
