“Okay, okay, I’ll stop.” Dongfang Chu knew that this was her first time in love, so she was thin-skinned and did not joke with her anymore.

Wen Ruoshui’s eyes were gentle. She had also heard that the elders of the Yan Family were very easy to get along with. However, wasn’t it a little too early to talk about meeting the parents?

Dongfang Chu changed the topic and told her about the interesting things that happened at school today. She smiled and said, “Shui Shui, there’s an antique auction the day after tomorrow. Come with me to take a look!”

Wen Ruoshui said, “I have a surgery the day after tomorrow.”

“It’s alright. It starts at midnight. We’ll go over after the surgery.” Dongfang Chu smiled. “It’s Grandpa’s 60th birthday soon. I want to buy him a gift. You can choose one too.”

“Why is the auction so late?” Wen Ruoshui was baffled.

“You don’t know this, but this is a private auction. I heard from others that many good things have appeared for the first time.” Dongfang Chu lowered her voice mysteriously. “I heard that there’s also Tang Bohu’s ‘Tiger Mountain Painting’!”

Grandpa liked calligraphy and paintings and he liked Tang Bohu’s paintings the most. However, they were all kept in the museum because there were very few of them. Private collectors had yet to hear of anyone having them.

“Isn’t the real work destroyed long ago?” Wen Ruoshui felt that it was a little unreliable. It was better to be careful at this kind of auction. She reminded her, “You shouldn’t go. Don’t be deceived. You don’t know anything about antiques.”

“No, I have to go and take a look.” Dongfang Chu had already decided to go and take a look with her own eyes. “Grandpa’s biggest regret in life is not being able to collect a Tang Bohu painting.”

Grandpa liked antiques, especially paintings and calligraphy. If she could buy “Tiger Mountain Painting” at the auction as a birthday gift for Grandpa, Grandpa would definitely be very happy.

“Even if you go, and that painting is authentic. You can’t afford it!” Wen Ruoshui told the truth.

There were very few paintings in the world by Tang Yin, and the price was extremely high. How could she buy a genuine painting without more than 500 million?

“Lend it to me.” Dongfang Chu told her that she wanted to borrow money from her. “Don’t worry, Grandpa will definitely give me the money to buy the painting.”

She had bought the painting to make Grandpa happy and be filial. Grandpa would definitely give her the money she had taken out. How could he bear to let her spend so much money? She did not have a job now and did not earn money. All she spent was from her family.

“Then I’ll go with you!” Wen Ruoshui had no choice but to nod in agreement.

“Shui Shui.” Dongfang Chu hugged her and kissed her. “I still love you the most.”

She did not have money, but Shui Shui did. Shui Shui was a little rich woman.She had the inheritance left behind by the Wen Family’s and her grandfather had helped her watch over the investments. The money earned had all been transferred to Shui Shui’s account.

In the past few years, the Dongfang Family had profited from whatever they had invested in. Shui Shui’s assets had naturally risen along with it, and their assets would not be lower than 10 billion.

“You don’t have to ask Grandpa for the money back. Just treat it as a gift from us.” After saying that, Wen Ruoshui added, “The premise is that the painting is authentic.”

All these years, the inheritance her grandpa had left her had been invested by Grandpa Dongfang. He had earned more than a few paintings. Even if she gave him a painting, she could only show some respect and filial piety.

“Grandpa definitely won’t want your money. Even if you don’t want it, he’ll still give it back to you. We’re just giving him a token of our appreciation, not money.” Dongfang Chu looked at her seriously. “Besides, you’re a girl. It’s always good to have more money in your hands. When you get married in the future, Grandpa definitely won’t forget your dowry.”

Grandpa and Grandpa Wen had grown up together and had gone through life and death together. Although he was a little stubborn and old-fashioned, he was really concerned about Shui Shui.

He watched as Eldest Aunt chased Shui Shui out of the Dongfang Family. He did not try her best to make her stay because he was selfish and afraid that Shui Shui would bring harm to the Dongfang Family.

A hint of loneliness flashed across Wen Ruoshui’s eyes. She only smiled and did not speak. Grandpa Dongfang had already done his best to raise her up.

She did not blame anyone. No matter who it was, they would be wary of her experiences. After all, her parents and grandfather had passed away unexpectedly one after another. It was a fact that she was the only one left in the Wen Family.

The duo had just reached the living room when Dongfang Chu’s phone rang. It was a call from home. She informed Wen Ruoshui and left hurriedly.

Wen Ruoshui ran out to see her off. Upon seeing her get into the car, she reminded her, “Drive carefully. Don’t drive so fast.”

“I understand.” Dongfang Chu stuck her head out of the car and looked at her. “Shui Shui, I’ll be going back today. You mustn’t let Yan Yuanfei move in, understand? Girls have to cherish their bodies before they get married.”

“Okay.” Wen Ruoshui smiled and nodded. She waved goodbye to her and watched the car disappear from sight before turning around to go home.

However, just as she turned around, she saw an old lady not far away slip and fall to the ground. She ran over hurriedly and helped her up.

It had been snowing for the past few days, and there was ice on the road. It was late at night, and the streetlights were dark. The old lady might not have good eyesight and had not noticed that she had stepped on ice.

“Thank you, young lady.” The old lady held her hand gratefully and smiled lovingly as she sized her up with narrowed eyes.

The young lady was very pretty, gentle, kind, and helpful. Not bad, not bad!

“Auntie, where are you going?” Wen Ruoshui was worried that she would fall again if she let an old lady walk alone on the road so late at night. “I’ll take you there.”

The old lady gave off a comfortable feeling. She looked gentle and kind, and her temperament was elegant. One look and one could tell that she was not an ordinary old lady.

“I’m going home.” The old lady’s voice was gentle. “I’m here to see my grandson. He’s not at home. I don’t know when he’ll be back! I’ll go home first.”

“How did you get here?” Wen Ruoshui looked at the old lady.

“I took the subway here.” The old lady sighed in disappointment with a regretful expression. “I wanted to give him a surprise, so I didn’t tell him in advance. Who knew that he wouldn’t be home?”

“There’s no subway at this time. I’ll drive you home!” Wen Ruoshui helped her walk forward.

“There’s no need to trouble you. I’ll call my chauffeur and get him to pick me up.” The old lady took two steps before her expression changed. Her walking posture was wrong.

Wen Ruoshui was a doctor, so she noticed that something was wrong immediately. She stopped and asked her seriously, “Auntie, did you fall on your leg?”

“It’s alright. People are like this when they’re old.” The old lady smiled at her and patted her hand to comfort her. “Don’t worry, I’m fine. When people get old, they can’t be better than the young.”
