City of Kyoto, Chang'an Street, No. 36.

  Before Chang Chunfang came to Kyoto this time, she didn't call her daughter to inform her, but went directly to her daughter's house.

  The reason why she didn't say she was coming was because she brought her nephew with her.

   Besides, she promised to arrange work for her nephew. It is not easy to say this on the phone. She plans to meet her daughter and then speak slowly.

  But Chang Chunfang arrived at the place, rang the doorbell, and waited for her daughter's nanny to open the door, but was told that her daughter was out at the moment.

   Today, Lan Shu's second brother is leaving, and Lan Shu personally takes the second brother's family to the train station.

   Originally, she planned to arrange a car to take the second brother's family back to Linjiang City directly, but the second brother refused.

  The reason is that they don't need to bother her so much, and it is as convenient for them to take the train.

   Lan Shu understood that her second brother was thinking of her, and his attitude was firm, so she followed his decision.

  After Lan Shu finished seeing off her second brother and went home by car, she entered the gate of her main villa, and saw her adoptive mother Chang Chunfang sitting on the sofa in the lobby on the first floor of her house with a strange young man.

   On the coffee table in front of the two of them, there were various fruit compotes cut by the nanny, which had already been eaten.

  Seeing Lan Shu coming back, Chang Chunfang immediately got up and walked towards her daughter.

   "Shu Shu is back~!"

  Lan Shu could see that her adoptive mother was very happy to see her.

   But her mood was a little delicate.

  I heard from my second sister-in-law Tian Na that her adoptive mother promised her natal family that she would arrange a job for her natal nephew.

  There is no doubt that the adoptive mother is here for work.

  The young man next to the adoptive mother who ate fruits and mouthfuls of juice, if he guessed correctly, should be the adoptive mother's natal nephew.

   Sure enough, in the next second, Lan Shu heard Chang Chunfang's enthusiastic introduction.

   "Shu Shu, that's your cousin Chang Gui, the youngest son of your fourth uncle's family."

   "Cousin of the fourth uncle's family?" Lan Shu looked at Chang Chunfang and said this on purpose with a blank face.

  Although she sincerely regards Chang Chunfang as her mother, it doesn't mean that she will accept the natal relatives behind her adoptive mother.

   After all, she is not Chang Chunfang's biological daughter.

   Seeing her daughter's reaction, Chang Chunfang was startled.

  Of course she saw her daughter's dislike for her natal relatives, and she also thought of the fact that Shu Shu was not her own daughter.

  My natal relatives are indeed not Shushu's relatives.

  The momentary embarrassment on Chang Chunfang's face eased Lan Shu's expression.

  It seems that the adoptive mother understands what she means.

   Then she shouldn't mention it again, and let herself help her natal relatives arrange work, right?

   Lan Shu was thinking, at this moment, Chang Gui behind Chang Chunfang wiped his mouth, wiped off the fruit juice from the corner of his mouth, and walked over with a flattering smile.

   "Hello cousin, although it's the first time we meet, but I don't know why, I feel close to you when I see you. Maybe this is the blood relationship that we can't give up between relatives."

  Chang Gui's words made Lan Shu couldn't help laughing on the spot, "A relative?"

  Her eyes fell on Chang Chunfang.

   Obviously, the adoptive mother did not tell her natal relatives that she was not her biological daughter.

   Lan Shu didn't want to misidentify relatives, but she still gave her adoptive mother some face and didn't say anything in public.

  She ignored Chang Gui's flattery, but called Chang Chunfang, "Mom, why did you come here suddenly and didn't tell me in advance?"

   Saying that, Lan Shu turned her head and said to the nanny not far away, "Go to the east wing and tidy up a room."

   After finishing speaking, she looked at her adoptive mother asking for advice, "Mom, when you come to Kyoto, do you stay at my house, or go to the old house to meet Dad? I have had people renovate the old house, and it is no problem to live in the house."

   Lan Shu's words can be said to help her adoptive mother to think carefully.

   How to choose depends entirely on the plan of the adoptive mother.

  Chang Chunfang didn't think about going to the old house when she came this time. She planned to live in her daughter's house from the beginning, but when her daughter mentioned her wife, Chang Chunfang felt somewhat hesitant.

  But in the end she decided to live here, so she said, "I'll see your dad in two days."

   This means living in the daughter's house.

   Lan Shu nodded, and then continued to arrange, "Mom, you must be tired from the car ride all the way, go and have a rest first."

   As she spoke, she prepared to take her adoptive mother out to the east wing.

   Behind him, Chang Gui saw that his cousin ignored him from the beginning to the end, and now he had to take his third aunt to rest.

  He could see that this cousin didn't intend to recognize poor relatives like him.

   But no matter how poor he is, relatives are relatives! It cannot be avoided!

   So Chang Gui said, "Cousin, where do I live?"

   Lan Shu really didn't like to hear 'cousin'.

  Seeing the other party asking, Lan Shu looked sideways at Chang Gui, "I don't have much room here."

  She didn't make it clear what she said about driving people away. After all, they were brought by her adoptive mother, so she would give her adoptive mother some face.

  But Lan Shu didn't expect that Chang Gui was not the kind of person who wanted to save face at all.

   "Cousin, there are three buildings in your house, why do you have 20 or 30 rooms in total? How come there is no place to live?"

   "Actually, it doesn't matter even if there is no vacant room. Your sofa is quite big and soft. I'll just make do with it and sleep on the sofa at night."

  Speaking, Chang Gui went back to the sofa and sat down again, obviously not planning to leave.

   Seeing him like this, Lan Shu frowned.

  She stopped looking at Chang Gui, but turned to look at her adoptive mother Chang Chunfang beside her.

  Chang Chunfang knew that her daughter wanted her to say something, and she could tell that her daughter did not welcome her natal nephew.

   But Chang Gui is her nephew after all.

   "Shu Shu, Chang Gui sent me all the way to Kyoto, otherwise you can find a place for Chang Gui to live in."

  During the conversation, Chang Chunfang no longer mentioned the words cousin and cousin, but directly called her nephew by name.

  Lan Shu heard this and took a deep breath.

  She didn't want to care about where an outsider lived, but her adoptive mother spoke up.

   And the other party sent the adoptive mother to the capital, and it seemed that he couldn't justify it.

   But even so, she would not leave this strange man at home.

  So Lan Shu said to Chang Chunfang, "There is no room at home. I will ask the driver to take him to a nearby guest house for one night."

  Speaking, Lan Shu asked casually, "Where is his home? Ask the driver to buy him a ticket tomorrow and take him to the train station."

   This means sending people away.

  When Chang Gui heard this, he was unwilling on the spot!

  He looked at Chang Chunfang, "Gu, you promised to arrange work for me!"

  Listening to what her nephew said, Chang Chunfang suddenly found herself in trouble!

  From her daughter's attitude, it's not difficult for her to see that Shushu doesn't want to associate with her mother's relatives.

  But she brought people...

  Chang Chunfang realized at this time how easy it was to promise, but now how difficult it is to honor it.

  She was too embarrassed to speak to her own daughter.
