The old man rembered Cheng Ruojun because that girl was beautiful.
Even a man with countless experiences, upon seeing her, would have his eyes light up.
She was breathtakingly beautiful, even without makeup.
She was the daughter of a worker at the Fang Family’s place, later adopted by Old Mrs. Fang. That old lady had a soft heart, despite her own hardships, she still took in her worker’s orphaned daughter.
However, she later disappeared from sight, heard she went abroad after graduating.
"Speaking of which, Tangtang’s eyes sowhat resemble that girl nad Cheng Ruojun," the old man thought.
Sheng Tang didn’t quite resemble Sheng Sidong and his wife.
Previously, the old man thought Sheng Tang was chubby, distorting her features, while Sheng Sidong and his wife were very thin, which seed abnormal.
Now looking back, dissimilarity is just dissimilarity, it wasn’t because of weight differences.
"It’s my retribution, the most accomplished one among my three sons refuses to acknowledge !" the old man sighed.
Sheng Sidong’s whole family returned ho.
Grandma made dumplings, and they were having dumplings for lunch.
Speaking of the morning’s events, Sheng Tang animatedly recounted, making Grandma laugh heartily.
Her younger brother also found it interesting but was annoyed for missing it.
"...Next ti we go, what can they possibly say!" Sheng Tang laughed, "Grandma, you didn’t see, I rendered them speechless."
Grandma comforted, "Tangtang has skills."
"What skills?" Her mother also laughed, "Her sharp tongue, I couldn’t utter such words."
"You don’t match her, back then Jun..." Grandma was speaking and suddenly stopped.
She fell silent for a mont or two.
"Who?"
"Back then your mom had a classmate, they argued, and she would only cry." Grandma added.
At that mont, parents seed a bit tense.
Sheng Tang thought of Cheng Ruojun.
She rembered this na, in a curious way. Because when ntioning her, Grandma’s words were vague, as if there was so secret.
Now she ntioned her again, but abruptly changed the topic.
But, adults have it tough, many things in life can’t be discussed openly. Sheng Tang was best at hiding her curiosity, pretending not to notice.
Grandma asked Sheng Sidong again, "What did the old man say to you?"
"Just the sa old talk." Sheng Sidong replied.
"Have you considered it?" Grandma said.
Sheng Sidong looked at Grandma in shock, "Mom..."
Grandma had always advised Sheng Sidong not to hate the old man, after all, he made ands later and fulfilled his duties as a father; but she also cautioned him not to get too entangled with Sheng Company.
Sheng Sidong wasn’t skilled in maneuvering, nor did he understand company affairs.
Unexpectedly, Grandma suddenly changed her stance today.
"...I’m not doing this for you, but thinking of Zong and Tangtang." Grandma smiled, "You can choose to want nothing, but what about the kids? If it’s rightfully yours, leaving it for your kids is always good."
Sheng Sidong fell silent.
He indeed gave too little to the kids.
"Your mother suffered for many years, I know that. But if she knew in the afterlife that her grandson still suffered poverty, that what was rightfully his was taken by others, she wouldn’t be happy." Grandma said.
Sheng Sidong seed to consider from this angle for the first ti.
"Back when Tangtang and Zong were little, these words couldn’t be said." Grandma chuckled, "Now, they have grown up. You think it over thoroughly."
"I got it, Mom." Sheng Sidong said.
Sheng Tang looked at Grandma, still feeling Grandma was wise.
She saw through everything.
Having such an elder in the family is truly a blessing. Sheng Tang thought of her own grandmother, if she were still alive, she might be like Grandma now?
