Chapter 981 See you tonight

When Yan Rui uttered the name "Shen Shuqiu," not only Shen Lu but everyone else looked at her.

Clearly, Yan Rui was right.

Grandma Shen sized up Yan Rui without making a sound.

Shen Lu asked casually, "You know my father?"

She had no intention of hiding it.

But Yan Rui, who has no relation to her, was able to say her biological father's name, which is worth investigating further.

"You really are Shen Shuqiu's daughter?" Yan Rui was still pleasantly surprised, even though she had already guessed it.

So, if her dad and Shen Lu's dad are good brothers, then their relationship can get closer!

Shen Lu is younger than her, so she has a younger sister who is a top scholar.

Shen Lu looked at Yan Rui with confusion. She was Shen Shuqiu's daughter, so why was she so happy?

Yan Rui didn't seem like she wanted to harm her.

"That's right, my dad and your father, Shen Shuqiu, were classmates, and they had a very good relationship."

“Last night I went back and told him that Youran Residence was your grandmother’s dowry house, and he started to suspect that you are Uncle Shen’s daughter!”

"So, my dad wants to meet you. If it's also convenient for Grandma Shen, could we all have dinner together tonight?"

Yan Rui knew she had asked abruptly, so she explained everything clearly in one breath, afraid that the Shen family grandfather and grandson would misunderstand.

Grandma Shen was stunned: "What's your father's name?"

Yan Rui smiled and said, "Yan Shan, my father's name is Yan Shan. Have you heard of him?"

“Yan Shan…” Old Mrs. Shen recalled carefully and indeed remembered this name.

“When Shuqiu was in high school, he said that he had a roommate who was very nice to him and also liked the pickles and sausages made in our village.”

"It seems that my roommate's name is that."

Shen Shuqiu wasn't particularly close to his classmates. Yan Shan was the one who took the initiative to get close to him and often invited him out for treats, which Shen Shuqiu couldn't refuse.

It's just a pity that her son is used to home-cooked food, and he can't eat outside food if it's not very tasty.

“That’s right, Grandma Shen. So it seems our two families are quite destined to be together.”

"If I hadn't met Shen Lu last night and asked her out of curiosity, I would have missed it."

"I'll call my dad over right away. He's been wanting to visit you for a long time, but he was afraid of bothering you..."

As for why, there's no need to explain.

Old Mrs. Shen could guess it too.

Yan Shan must have known that Shu Qiu was missing.

He didn't come to bother her because he was afraid that mentioning Shuqiu would upset his elderly mother.

"There's no need to rush," Old Mrs. Shen stopped Yan Rui.

"We're not going anywhere, meeting at night is the same."

“Alright, I’ll make the arrangements. Let’s meet at Youranju. I also want to see Yan Shan; he’s Shuqiu’s only friend from high school.”

Grandma Shen met with Yan Shan to thank him for remembering her son all these years.

"However, I hope no one else knows about this."

"Including the relationship between your father and Shuqiu."

Grandma Shen reminded Yan Rui.

Yan Rui was confused. Why couldn't people know?

However, she was an obedient girl: "Okay, Grandma Shen."

On her way back, Yan Rui mentioned this to her father, saying that the old lady had already decided on a place to eat at Youranju.

Yan Shan was surprised and displeased with his daughter's decision-making: "Why didn't you tell me? If I had known that your aunt was also there, I should have gone to invite her myself."

"Besides, even if it's at Youranju, we should be the ones making the reservations. How can we trouble her?"

If she weren't facing her father, Yan Rui would have rolled her eyes: "You're really overthinking it. If we try to make a reservation, there's a long queue, and it might be a month from now."

"Are you going to wait a month before you go to see Grandma Shen and Sister Shen Lu?"

Yan Shan choked: "Then forget it, let's do it tonight."

"Remember to pay the bill in advance, so that Grandma Shen doesn't have to spend money, okay?"

Yan Rui pouted: "Dad, you don't need to remind me."

"However, you should be prepared to spend a lot of money, the dishes at Youranju are not cheap."

Yan Rui quite liked eating at Youranju, but Youranju was really expensive; even a simple plate of fried rice cost eighty-eight yuan.

However, it's not like they can't afford to eat at Youranju.

"Don't worry about it, I'll reimburse you." Yan Shan didn't care about the money; how much could a meal cost anyway?

Their family has accumulated some wealth over the years.

As long as you don't eat there every few days, you can still afford it.

Moreover, families like theirs cannot frequent private restaurants.

Going there too often might lead to being reported by someone.

Shen Lu didn't go sightseeing any further in the afternoon.

She and the old lady also chatted about Shen Shuqiu's school life.

“Your dad really didn’t eat well at school, so he became quite thin in high school.”

“His classmate thought that he was poor and frugal, so he couldn’t afford meat dishes at school. He would always find excuses to give Shuqiu extra meals.”

“When Shuqiu comes back, he will complain that his roommate stole his pickles and salted vegetables.”

"All these things in our house were made by various families in the village."

"Shuqiu is like a beloved figure in the village."

"He was good at studying, and the older women in the village loved to prepare food for him."

"Whenever they heard that he wasn't eating well at school, they would do everything they could to cook delicious meals for him."

"It was Shuqiu who brought your second aunt and uncle together."

"That was when Shuqiu went to a big banquet and came back praising the food prepared by your second aunt's father. Your second aunt was helping the old man at that time."

"The more Uncle Qiu praised him, the more your second uncle took it to heart."

"Later, your second uncle pursued her relentlessly, and your second aunt was moved by him, so the two got married."

From Grandma Shen's words, Shen Lu pieced together the image of this Uncle Yan.

A kind and compassionate person.

Unfortunately, the other party must have been badly deceived by their own father.

However, the two must have cleared up the misunderstanding later.

"My dad is a really good liar."

Didn't his teacher also think that his father was a poor student and that he always used Miss Sheng's meal card when he went to the cafeteria, so he was extremely jealous of him?

Shen Jidong and Jenny decided to go back to take care of their child in the afternoon and would not attend the event in the evening.

Lu Xingye, on the other hand, had nothing to do that evening and planned to accompany the old lady and Shen Lu.

In the afternoon, they also went to choose gifts for Yan Shan, his wife, and daughter Yan Rui.

The old lady was very polite.

An elderly lady spoke up, and it was revealed that private rooms at Youranju were always available.

This is privilege.

At six o'clock in the evening, the Yan family members appeared on time.

Shen Lu and the others came out of the backyard of Youran Residence and went to the front yard.

Both sides arrived at roughly the same time, but if we're being precise, Yan Shan and his family of three actually arrived a little earlier.

"Sister Yan Rui."

Before they could even go inside, Shen Lu called them back.
