My life is ending, and my aloof CEO wife is taking revenge on me.

Chapter 263 Family Reunion Banquet

I stayed in my mother's room for a long time, my eyes kept hurting, and tears were uncontrollable.

But in order not to worry the elderly people in my family, I didn't dare to say anything.

During this time, they all tacitly refrained from bothering me.

It wasn't until sunset that my grandparents came to call me to have dinner together.

At the dinner table, I had my first Chinese meal since arriving in Country B, a meal I hadn't had in a long time.

During the meal, my grandparents noticed that my preferences were very similar to my mother's, not only in terms of the food they liked, but also in their tastes.

Then a very dramatic scene unfolded: the two elderly people kept putting food into my bowl, and soon the food overflowed.

The dishes were piled up like a small mountain, and I didn't even know where to start eating.

After dinner, I planned to go back to the hotel, but my grandmother kept holding my hand and wouldn't let go.

Reluctantly, I eventually gave in and stayed in the castle.

Grandpa Qiao had someone retrieve my luggage from the hotel, and I stayed in my grandparents' castle until I left Country B.

Actually, this doesn't contradict my desire to take care of them.

My grandparents were overjoyed to know that I would stay.

That night, they even kept me in bed and told me many stories about my mother's childhood. I couldn't get enough of listening to them; I found them extremely interesting.

I greatly admire my mother's gentleness and her willfulness.

Starting the next day, my maternal grandparents began preparing a banquet for my return to the Su family.

The banquet was three days later. My grandparents originally wanted to hold a more grand event, but I didn't really like that kind of format.

If possible, I would even prefer not to hold it at all.

However, this is what the elderly person is thinking, and I don't want to go against their wishes and make them overthink.

But what I didn't know was that three days later it would be my grandmother's birthday.

It was only on the day of the banquet that I learned about my grandmother's birthday from Grandpa Qiao.

Now that I know it's her birthday, I naturally want to prepare a special gift.

So that morning, despite the difficulty, I endured the pain in my hands and painted a picture for my grandmother.

I didn't wait for the formal banquet; instead, I solemnly handed the painting to my grandmother when she came to my room.

My grandmother burst into tears the moment she saw this painting.

Her hands trembled as she gently stroked the painting of her mother, tears welling in her eyes.

I gradually felt more at ease.

"You drew your mother so well, you captured her kindness, gentleness and playfulness perfectly."

"It's as if I'm seeing your mother in person."

I grabbed my grandmother's hand and said, "Grandma, I hope you can be happy, and Mom hopes you can be happy too."

"I hope that every time you think of her in the future, it will bring you joy instead of tears."

Happy birthday, Grandma.

Grandma's eyes welled up with tears, and she nodded.

She stared at me without responding for a long time.

I knew she saw my mother in me again, so I opened my arms and hugged my grandmother.

At this moment, in the grandmother's eyes, she may have already reunited with her separated daughter.

Shortly after the banquet officially began, my maternal grandparents led me onto the stage, where they solemnly introduced me as their child.

Their prepared explanation was that their grandson had been studying abroad for many years and was finally willing to come back to be with them.

They took this opportunity to introduce me to their business partners and friends.

Yue Ming and Han Nian also attended the banquet that day, and they were both terrified when they heard the news.

Not to mention them, even I was incredibly surprised when I found out.

After I stepped down from the stage, Yue Ming and Han Nian began to interrogate me.

I had no choice but to tell the truth, but I explained the situation concisely.

Yue Ming and Han Nian opened their mouths in surprise.

Yue Ming was even more shocked. "You mean to say that your mother is Aunt Jinjue?"

Perhaps only Yue Ming would be so surprised.

Because he knew about the Su family, we became friends again.

Perhaps he never imagined that I would be such a famous grandson of the Su family.

Yue Ming hugged me in shock, "I never imagined we had such a connection, no wonder we became friends."

"You don't know, do you? If you were a girl, we might have been betrothed since birth."

"Alright, then I'll give you my seat now," Han Nian joked, even making a gesture as if she was about to leave.

Yue Ming immediately became obedient and rushed forward to comfort his wife.

The day after the family reunion banquet, I told my maternal grandparents that I was going back to Hancheng.

When my grandparents heard that I was leaving, they immediately felt reluctant to let me go, but it seemed like they had no reason to stop me from leaving.

So they asked me, "How long are you going to be gone this time? When do you plan to come back? Are you even coming back?"

Although my grandfather didn't say anything, he was extremely anxious.

The departure and death of their mother were too much for the two of them to bear.

It finally made me realize what it feels like to be cared for.

that's nice!

I smiled and quickly reassured the two elderly people, "Don't worry, I'm just going back to take care of some company matters. I'll be back as soon as I've finished."

"Nowhere is as good as home. I want to stay with my grandparents as much as possible. You can't kick me out even if you want to."

Hearing me say that, my grandparents felt a little more at ease.

Even so, on the day I actually left, my grandparents, who were so old, still stubbornly took me to the airport.

Even as I was boarding the plane, I saw the two elderly people waving goodbye to me.

As I sat on the plane, I felt a warm feeling in my heart for the first time.

In the past, I was most afraid of parting, as it always left me feeling empty inside.

I always envied those children who had someone to drop them off and pick them up; now I have that privilege too.

I feel like I've been hit by a wave of happiness.

Even before the plane took off, I was already thinking about how to get back quickly.

What I didn't know was that Song Yafei was on the plane that flew past me.

I found out because Lin Qiuran came to pick me up at the airport and accidentally gave herself away.

It's been so long since I've seen Lin Qiu. Yet, whenever she sees me, she always smiles like a child, all clumsy and awkward.

When they picked her up at the airport, Lin Qiuran looked preoccupied, as they hadn't seen each other for more than half a month.

After getting in the car, I asked Lin Qiuran, "What's wrong? You've been shouldering so much responsibility at the restaurant lately, are you under too much pressure?"

"Hmm," Lin Qiuran replied absentmindedly.

I know him too well; just by looking at him, I can tell it's not just because of work.

They wouldn't even look at me, and to avoid me, they would look out the window.
