Mr. Shen, please stop being abusive. My wife is on the hot search with someone else again.

Mrs. Liu just went out to open the door and came back after a while.

"Madam, there are two people outside delivering something, and they said you must sign for it in person."

Hearing this, Lin Xi got up and walked out. It should be the painting he took last night.

As expected, someone from the insurance company came to deliver the painting.

After getting the painting, Lin Xi excitedly went upstairs with the painting. I stared at it in the study for a long time. The closer I looked, the more I felt that it looked like it was made by the same person as the one I saw in my grandma’s studio.

Like, it’s really so similar!

But my grandma’s painting has not been seen for a long time since my grandma passed away. I don’t know where it has been hidden for so many years?

If she hadn't seen the painting in front of her at the charity party last night, she would have almost forgotten that the painting existed.

In order to clear up her doubts, Lin Xi drove to her grandparents’ old house in the suburbs.

I haven't been back for a long time. Looking at the dilapidated courtyard, I can't help but sigh that time flies by and things have changed, let alone people!

Her childhood was here, and almost all her happy memories were in this small courtyard.

Grandpa’s hearty laughter, grandma’s loving eyes, and parents’ doting smiles.

Everything goes away from her with time!

She used to be very happy and happy, but it seems that after marrying Shen Yize, she has changed and become less and less like herself.

Thinking of Shen Yize, Lin Xi smiled bitterly. Fortunately, it's not too late to wake up!

The neighbor next to her saw her staring at the short fence and the yard in a daze, and looked at her curiously for a while.

The old man staggered over to greet her, "Girl, are you looking for this family?"

Lin Xi retracted her thoughts and turned to look at the old lady with a face full of vicissitudes of life.

After watching for a moment, Lin Xi was surprised and happy, "Second grandma?"

"Are you... a creek girl?"

The old lady asked tremblingly, looking at the woman in front of her with wide eyes, as if she couldn't believe her eyes.

"Yes, I'm Xiaoxi." Lin Xi nodded with a smile.

"Oh, if you hadn't been the only one calling me Grandma, I really wouldn't have recognized you. How come you are so pretty? You are prettier than your mother and your aunt. Your mother is not as good-looking as your aunt, but why are you so beautiful? Prettier than your aunt?"

Lin Xi smiled broadly when he heard the old lady's illogical comparison.

After some comparisons, the old lady suddenly asked back to the topic, "Hey, Xiaoxi, why did you come back suddenly?"

"I came back to look for something. I haven't been back for many years, and things have changed a lot here." Lin Xi looked around and sighed.

"Yes, the city has been continuously developed over the years, and our place is about to be demolished. Your grandfather's yard is also within the scope of demolition. It is estimated that someone will contact you and your mother soon."

When Lin Xi heard what her second grandma said, she suddenly felt that it was the right time for her to come back. If the place had to be razed to the ground, the painting would probably disappear completely.

"Grandma, I'll go in and find something. You can bask in the sun here first. I'll talk to you when you come out."

"Let's go, I'll go in with you and take a look. After your grandpa left, your mother would come back occasionally to visit. Later, I heard that something happened to your mother, and the door of this small courtyard has not been opened again. I have also had it for many years. I haven’t gone in. If you come back rarely, I’ll follow you in and have a look.”

Hearing that the second grandma said she wanted to go in and take a look, Lin Xi hurriedly helped the old man up.

When the door lock was opened, Lin Xi sighed: "I didn't expect that the lock could be opened."

It’s quite surprising that my mother’s set of keys has still come in handy after so many years.

The small courtyard is dilapidated, and the warm scene of the past is completely gone.

"You loved playing in the yard when you were a child. Your grandpa loved you very much and built this swing. It seems that there was a little rabbit here. Your grandma is a very particular person and can't smell strange smells, but because you also I endured it. I remember I was laughing at her at that time, saying that every thing would bring down another thing."

Lin Xi had no memory of many things, but the second grandma seemed to have some vague impression when she said this.

Lin Xi smiled and said, "Grandpa and grandma love me very much."

When we arrived in the living room, everything was quite tidy, and all the furniture was covered with cloth.

Lin Xi looked around. The furnishings in the living room had not changed. Everything was as she remembered it.

Holding the second grandmother's arm, an old man and a young man arrived at the studio.

As the old man gets older, when he sees things and people changing, he feels a lot of emotion in his heart, and then he talks about what he has finished saying.

"Your grandma is an art teacher and loves tinkering with drawing things all day long. Your mom follows your grandpa and is kind-hearted, but your aunt is particularly transparent, smart, and beautiful. So your grandma has always been partial to your aunt and devoted her whole mind to cultivating you. Enter my aunt. But your aunt is also very competitive and her painting is very good. Although I don’t understand it, I feel different every time I read it.”

Lin Xi felt warm in her heart as she listened to the old man talking about the past. It had been many years since anyone had chatted with her and recalled the past like this.

"Yes, my mother also told me that my aunt is beautiful and smart. She also ranked first in the province and was admitted to the Academy of Fine Arts."

"Your aunt is very spiritual. Alas, it's a pity that she is a poorly blessed girl."

Lin Xi's impression of his aunt comes from the photos he saw when he was a child. It seems that his aunt died abroad not long after he was born.

She didn't have much affection for her aunt, so Lin Xi didn't feel much about her second grandmother's emotion.

The old man stood nearby and recalled the past, while Lin Xi kept rummaging around.

I just looked through the studio and didn't see that painting.

After thinking about it, since grandpa put it away, he must not be in this painting room.

So I helped my second grandmother to go to my grandfather's study.

Grandpa is a history teacher. The reason why Lin Xi has such a thorough understanding of the official hierarchy of ancient dynasties is thanks to his grandfather.

"Little girl Xiaoxi, what are you looking for? Second grandma will help you look for it."

The old lady looked anxious when she went to the study and searched again.

"Second grandma, do you remember that my grandma often stared at a painting in her studio?" Lin Xi asked while searching.

"Don't you remember? After your aunt left, your grandpa often asked me to come and talk to your grandma. Every time I came, she couldn't say a few words and was fascinated by the painting."

"I'm just looking for that painting."

"Okay, I'll help you look for it too."

The old man followed Lin Xi and rummaged through boxes and cabinets, and finally found a hidden compartment in the bookcase with a black lacquered wooden box inside.

"Little girl Xiaoxi, come and see what's in this box?"

Lin Xi heard this and came over. Judging from the size and shape of the box, it should be used to hold paintings.

It's hard to say whether the paintings inside will be damaged if they are kept in a dark compartment like this.

"Second grandma, she should be here."

The old lady looked at the box and nodded, thinking it should be.

The two touched the wooden box happily, when Lin Xi's phone suddenly rang.

Seeing that the call was from Sister Wang, Lin couldn't help but worry that something had happened to her mother.
