Su Yun smiled and nodded, "Grandma, you have such good taste."
"You girl, even though grandma is old, she can still tell the difference between good and bad." Mrs. Xiao did not mean her words maliciously, but she was joking with Su Yun with a smile.
Su Yun stuck out her tongue, walked to the old lady's side and followed her up the stairs.
She walked behind the old lady because she was afraid that the old lady would be exhausted while holding a child. However, the old lady's physical strength was still very strong. She carried a child up to the third floor in one breath without seeing her take a breath.
When they came upstairs, they saw Xu Guodong and Mr. Chen playing chess by the window. They raised their heads when they heard the commotion. She didn't know if it was Su Yun's imagination, but she always felt like she saw the flash of light on the old man's face.
So shy.
It must be an illusion, right?
Otherwise, how could she see such an inconsistent shyness on the serious old man's face?
An illusion must be an illusion.
Su Yun smiled and said hello, "Grandpa, brother-in-law."
Her brother-in-law's call made her feel a little psychologically burdened. But Xu Guodong felt no psychological burden at all. He stood up with a smile and said, "Come here, grandma, come sit here."
Mrs. Xiao nodded and agreed with a smile.
Everyone is familiar with each other, so there is nothing special about it.
After sitting down, Xiao Lin put the three children in red singlets into the stroller that the hotel waiter helped carry upstairs, and he went downstairs to do his business.
Although Mr. Chen paid for this 100-day banquet, Xiao Lin also invited some businessmen in the capital, so he had to go downstairs to receive it.
After handing the child to Zhang Ma and the old lady, Su Yun and Xiao Lin went downstairs to greet the guests who were about to arrive.
This was the first time for the two of them to entertain people outside, so Su Yun didn't know what to do with many things. Fortunately, Xu Guodong had already made arrangements and asked the hotel manager to explain the process to the couple.

Although Mr. Chen paid for this 100-day banquet, Xiao Lin also invited some businessmen in the capital, so he had to go downstairs to receive it.
After handing the child to Zhang Ma and the old lady, Su Yun and Xiao Lin went downstairs to greet the guests who were about to arrive.
This was the first time for the two of them to entertain others outside, so Su Yun was not sure how to do many things. Fortunately, Xu Guodong had already made arrangements and asked the hotel manager to explain the process to the couple.
In fact, it's nothing complicated. They just need to stand at the door to greet the guests who come over.
As for many people who will follow the gift, the hotel has also arranged special registration personnel to help register the list of those who will follow the gift.
"Brother Lin, do we still want people to follow the ceremony?" Su Yun asked Xiao Lin beside her. Does she think it would be bad to follow the ceremony? After all, where is the identity of Mr. Chen? Although they are not related to Mr. Chen
They both share the same surname of Chen, but if we really want to investigate, they are blood relatives.
In order not to cause unnecessary trouble to the old man, Su Yun thought it was better not to give up this casual gift.
"Well, listen to your wife."
Xiao Lin also thought it was better not to have to follow the etiquette.
Although society is gradually becoming more and more open, Mr. Chen is in a high position, so it is inevitable that there will be some competitors or forces who can't stand him and want to suppress him.
In order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, they, as descendants, should be more careful in their words and deeds.
After the couple agreed, they asked the hotel to take back the table where the gifts were received.
The hotel manager naturally told Xu Guodong about this.
Xu Guodong nodded.
"Okay, I understand, go and do your work."
"yes."
The manager left, and Xu Guodong walked towards the old man on the side.
Mr. Chen, who was looking at his great-grandchildren by the crib and couldn't bear to look away, heard Xu Guodong whispering beside him about Xiao Lin and his wife's decision.
He raised his head in surprise.
"They don't accept gifts anymore?"
It is normal to receive gifts at a wedding banquet, so when he heard that Xiao Lin and Su Yun decided not to accept gifts, the old man showed a surprised expression.
Xu Guodong nodded.
Mr. Chen still wanted to say something. Mrs. Xiao, who had listened to Xu Guodong's words, raised her head and glanced at Mr. Chen lightly.
"Do you think the grandson I trained is the kind of person who only cares about immediate interests?"
Mr. Chen was forced to swallow back the words "Let them take it," which was on his lips. He turned to look at Mrs. Xiao, and said with a somewhat sarcastic smile, "I didn't mean that. Xiao Yuan, the children you teach must all be good."
Child, I just want to say..."
"What are you thinking about?" Mrs. Xiao raised her head and glared at Mr. Chen.
That look inexplicably reminded people of decades ago, when she was the same way when she was young. Whenever Mr. Chen did something wrong, Mrs. Xiao would stare at him like this.
The look in his eyes was so familiar that the old man naturally became afraid.
He chuckled and awkwardly touched his head, which already had a lot of gray hair. "It's nothing, I didn't think about it. Xiao Yuan, everything you said is right."
"What do you mean, what I said is right? What I said is right. Our Anzi and Xiaoyun are not the kind of people with short-sighted eyes."
"Yes, yes, yes, they are both good boys, both good boys."
Mr. Chen hurriedly replied with a smile.
Old Mrs. Xiao snorted rather arrogantly, but did not let the topic go. She saw Mr. Chen trying to secretly pick up Erbao who was sleeping soundly, and the old lady snorted again.
"Please be gentle, our sister is very delicate, don't hurt her."
Mr. Chen subconsciously retracted his hand, but he quickly figured it out. Xiao Yuan's words were not to prevent him from holding the child, but to ask him to be careful not to hurt their precious golden grandson?
The old man figured it out and his face lit up with joy.
He bent down and carefully and solemnly picked up his sleeping sister. His movements were gentle and precious, as if what he was holding in his hands was not a child, but a rare treasure.
"Good girl, good girl." The old man murmured softly, with tears glistening in his lowered eyes.
The people around were very moved when they saw this scene. This is the deep love that the elders in the family have for the younger ones.
Mrs. Xiao looked a little serious on the side. She was not as easily moved as others, at least her face was calmer than others. I don't know what she was thinking in her heart.
"The old man loves his great-grandchildren very much."
Zhang Ma, who was standing further away, said to Lin Chunhua.
Lin Chunhua nodded. Outsiders could also see that the old man still had feelings for the old lady, but he didn't know if the two of them could get together again in the end.
This matter cannot be interfered with by others and can only be decided by themselves.
On the first floor, guests came to congratulate them one after another. Many of them were people Su Yun had never seen before. Xiao Lin introduced them as business partners.
Su Yun nodded and said hello politely one by one.
"You guys go upstairs and have a rest first. Dinner will be served soon."
Su Yun smiled and talked to them. Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of a few unfamiliar and familiar people coming not far away.
She made a very strange sound and asked, "Why are they here?"
