Chapter 131 Can I ask what you like about our Xixi?

In the elevator, Shen Chaoxi laughed as he looked through the baby photos in his cell phone album.

"Look, the newborn baby is so small!" Shen Chaoxi held up the phone to show the man next to her.

There was no one else in the elevator. Shang Jianghan put one hand in his pocket and the other hand naturally rested on Shen Chaoxi's shoulder.

She went out wearing a long loose sweater, a pair of dark blue pencil jeans, and her usual white sports casual shoes. The pencil pants were seven-quarter length, and the white socks only reached her ankles, revealing a piece of white and delicate ankle skin.

"Well, you like kids?"

Shen Chaoxi tilted her head to look over, meeting the tenderness in the man's dark eyes, and after a moment of thought, she said, "I find it miraculous. Don't look at her as small and wrinkled now. She will grow white and tender in just one month."

Speaking of this, Shen Chaoxi couldn't help feeling regretful.

She was not present when Yao Chun gave birth to twins. All she saw were photos of two babies wearing only diapers in incubators.

She was in tears at that time, and for some reason she missed home so much!
Later, she received photos of Diandian and Didi at every stage of their lives, and when they grew up a little, she would video call the two little ones.

After all, we are blood relatives, and even if we have not met each other many times, we will always miss each other.

The elevator opened in the VIP area on the top floor. As soon as the door opened, we ran into a group of medical staff who were making rounds. The leader was Shang Jiangchuan.

When we met, I was surprised at first, and then I felt happy from the bottom of my heart.

Shang Jiangchuan asked the other doctors to leave first, as he would have an operation soon and could not say a word.

His gaze fell on Shen Chaoxi's face, Shang Jiangchuan smiled and spoke to Shang Jianghan again.

"Finally, I have a family!"

Not many people knew about Shang Jianghan's marriage, and Shang Qichao knew about it, so he naturally wouldn't hide it from his two cousins.

Shang Jianghan was a reserved and calm person, and he couldn't make an expression of laughing out loud, but he smiled back at the other person.

It was obviously inappropriate for Shen Chaoxi to call him Doctor Shang again at this time, so he softly called him "Second Brother".

"Wait for Second Uncle to come back, and we'll get together. Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, and my eldest brother and his wife are on holiday, so it's a good opportunity for us to get to know each other."

Shang Jianghan nodded at the other party: "That's what I mean."

Afterwards, Shang Jiangchuan began to urge him, and left in a hurry without saying a few more words.

The two continued walking towards grandma's ward.

When they were only some distance apart, Shen Chaoxi glanced at him sideways.

"Are you nervous?"

This was considered a son-in-law meeting his wife's family, and she wanted to know what Shang Jianghan was thinking at this moment.

I remember when Zhong Hongguang first came to the Yao family, if you looked closely you could still see him rubbing his fingers from time to time.

The man lowered his dark eyes and looked at her, his expression was deep and steady with no special meaning.

"How do you want me to behave?" He said with a faint smile on his face.

The kind that can charm a bunch of girls.

"speak nicely!"

At the critical moment, Shen Chaoxi discovered that the opponent was always playing tricks.

The two didn't say anything more. The door of the ward was opened and Yao Yuan walked out with an excited look on his face.

"Hey, Xixi, you came just in time. Our family has a new baby! Your sister-in-law gave birth to a daughter and is now in the ward. I'll go take a look!"

Having become a grandfather, Yao Yuan was naturally full of energy and vigor.

Shen Chaoxi joked: "Uncle only wants his granddaughter, so even my niece is not popular anymore?"

"So popular! So popular! Our family is in need of girls. Girls are good!" Then Yao Yuan was stunned and looked at the man beside Shen Chaoxi.

"What is this?" Yao Yuan was confused.

Shen Chaoxi didn't plan to introduce them one by one, so he urged: "Uncle, go see your granddaughter first, and I'll introduce her to you later." Shang Jianghan stood at the side and nodded at him. Yao Yuan felt that this man was more impressive than the boss who came to inspect the mall once a month.

"Okay, I'll be back soon!" Yao Yuan probably had guessed the other party's identity, and glanced at Shang Jianghan again before leaving.

When I entered the ward, my grandmother was receiving an IV drip, half leaning against the head of the bed with her eyes closed.

As soon as Shen Chaoxi came in, grandma noticed her and nodded to her, then her eyes fixed on the tall man behind her.

My grandmother's illness had indeed depleted her energy and spirit. Her originally cloudy eyes now looked bright and alert.

She said nothing, just looked at the two of them.

But Shen Chaoxi couldn't help but speak, she walked to her grandmother's bed and held her hand.

At the same time, Shang Jianghan also stood beside the bed, with his hands hanging naturally, looking quite serious.

"Grandma, I'm married. He was my high school teacher. I liked him back then. Later, I went to study in another province. When I came back, we met again and we got together." Shen Chaoxi said it as lightly as possible.

Grandma guessed the other party's identity, but she didn't expect that they were already a legal couple. She was a little dazed for a moment, and then she thought about how she got sick and was admitted to the hospital, and she was afraid that it was related to the person in front of her.

Patting Shen Chaoxi's hand, grandma said, "Go get me a pot of hot water. I just broke out in a sweat and want to wipe it off."

Shen Chaoxi glanced at the automatic water boiler next to the restaurant and realized that her grandmother wanted to send her away.

She stood up, glanced at Shang Jianghan, and after receiving his nod of approval, she carried the kettle and left the ward.

After Shen Chaoxi closed the door of the ward, Shang Jianghan introduced himself without waiting for his grandmother to ask.

"I didn't expect your family is so well off. May I ask what you like about our Xixi?" Grandma's words were too straightforward, and even Shang Jianghan had to think for a moment.

"Please sit down." Grandma pointed to a stool not far away.

Shang Jianghan nodded, walked over and sat down. He placed his hands on both sides of his knees, his posture lowered but his imposing manner remained unchanged.

Afterwards, Shang Jianghan told about his meeting with Shen Chaoxi.

"...If I were to say what I like about Xixi, it would definitely be that she is beautiful. But I also understand that beauty is not forever, although it is indispensable."

Shang Jianghan opened his speech with these words, and not only did his grandmother not look down on him, but she actually approved of his honesty.

"Xixi is a very stubborn child. No one can change her mind about something she has decided on, so she doesn't want to live a luxurious life with her mother and stepfather. Even if her mother wants to buy her a house and a car, she won't accept it."

Grandma's eyes gradually became red as she told the story.

Shang Jianghan nodded in agreement: "She is very real. She was like this in school before. She never asked for help from others and was very brave. She didn't show off, but she was able to attract people's attention. She always knew what she wanted. This is what attracted me more than her appearance."

When the man said this, a hint of tenderness appeared in his eyes. How could the old lady not see it?

After a moment's silence, grandma's eyes were fixed on Shang Jianghan again.

"She's liked you since high school, right? Or should I say you like each other?"

Shang Jianghan nodded.

He could roughly guess what the old lady would ask next.

"That year, what happened to my Xixi that made her have to leave?"

Some people's wisdom is engraved in their bones and has nothing to do with age or health.

Shang Jianghan stroked the fabric of his trousers with his fingers, his eyes filled with an indescribable calmness.

“I didn’t know this before, but I only found out recently that someone in my family threatened her.

That person also indirectly caused harm to you.

So, I’m sorry!”

Grandma looked stunned for a moment, then smiled faintly.
