Chapter 1288: Chapter 1288: Who Are You?
"Alright," Tang Yue nodded. Going back to the Meng Family for dinner also means seeing Meng Yanzhi, but Tang Yue didn’t think much of it. Ten years have passed, and things have changed. Those little thoughts from back then have probably long vanished like clouds in the past, swept away by the wind.
It’s only Si Yu who still keeps it in his heart.
"Are we going to Grandma and Grandpa’s house?" Chenchen asked, eyes sparkling: "Will Chu Huaijin be there too?"
Last time climbing trees with Chu Huaijin, he made a lot of progress. Chenchen thought about how she had to beat Chu Huaijin this time.
"He won’t be," Si Yu said with a dark face, "Chenchen, you’re a girl."
"What’s wrong with being a girl?" Chenchen looked at Si Yu, completely puzzled, not understanding why her dad was upset. She ran up to him, tugged at his hand, and pouted: "Dad, you said girls aren’t worse than boys. Last time, Chu Huaijin beat me, but this time I can definitely win."
Chenchen tilted her head slightly, her bright eyes full of determination.
Si Yu immediately squatted down, praised her: "Our Chenchen is the best. It doesn’t matter that you lost last time. This time we’ll win, but... he might not be coming."
"Oh, I see," Chenchen felt a bit disappointed, but soon, comforted by Si Yu, she set aside thoughts of Chu Huaijin and said, "I want to eat Grandma’s meatballs, big meatballs."
"Okay, let Grandma make them for you," Si Yu gently tidied her hair, urging her to go play.
The couple washed the dishes together. Tang Yue initially wanted to chat with Zaozao and Chenchen, but both Zaozao and the kids were sent to rest in their rooms.
When Tang Yue finished her bath and came out, the living room was empty. She asked with confusion, "Huh? Zaozao and Chenchen went to sleep so early today?"
"Yes," Si Yu said, calm and collected, as he wrapped his arm around Tang Yue and guided her to their room, saying, "We haven’t seen each other in so long, we should sleep early."
Tang Yue: "..."

"Mom, don’t be lazy, we’re going to Grandma’s house for dinner," Chenchen lay in front of Tang Yue, looking at her eagerly.
Tang Yue drowsily opened her eyes, feeling that they weren’t even her own, and mumbled, "What time is it?"
"It’s nine o’clock," Chenchen’s crisp voice replied, tilting her head in confusion, asking, "Mom, why do you always sleep in late whenever Dad is home?"
Tang Yue: "..."
The initial feeling of sleepiness instantly disappeared. She cleared her throat awkwardly, feeling embarrassed looking at Chenchen’s innocent eyes.
"Haha~"
Si Yu’s laughter came from the doorway, his tall figure appearing there. Tang Yue glared at him, accusing him with her eyes: It’s all your fault!!!
To avoid his wife truly getting mad and ignoring him, Si Yu stretched his long arms and pulled Chenchen back, saying, "Because Mom takes care of you and your brother, she’s very tired. So when Dad is home, Dad does the hard work of taking care of you, and Mom can have a little more rest."
"Chenchen, shouldn’t we feel sorry for Mom and not laugh at her, right?" Si Yu seriously educated his daughter.
Tang Yue quietly lowered her head. After the father and daughter left, she helplessly patted her forehead. Thankfully, it was in their own home; otherwise, wouldn’t it have been utterly embarrassing?
Tang Yue quickly changed clothes and had a simple breakfast, and the family of four set off for the Meng Family. In the car, Chenchen sang like a lark, her melodious voice echoing inside the vehicle, while Zaozao, as usual, remained quiet, holding the latest game console Lian Qingyang gave him.
The game Lian Qingyang developed in Zaozao’s hands always created miracles.
Occasionally, Lian Qingyang marveled at Zaozao’s gaming talent; no matter the game, in Zaozao’s hands, it was as if hacks were applied, effortlessly clearing levels.
As a result, Lian Qingyang couldn’t believe it and competed against Zaozao. Zaozao, compared to this game creator and inventor, wasn’t even a bit weaker.
The outcome was that anytime Lian Qingyang released a new game, he’d let Zaozao test it first to see if there were any improvements to be made.
Zaozao’s hands held the latest game.
The atmosphere in the car was great. Tang Yue hummed along with Chenchen, her out-of-tune voice mixing with Chenchen’s, not particularly awful.
Si Yu occasionally chimed in, and they arrived joyfully at the Meng Family. The two kids ran inside early, while Si Yu and Tang Yue stood at the doorway, exchanging glances. Si Yu took her hand, smiled, and said, "Let’s go, we’re home."
"Home," Tang Yue replied with a smile. Who cares about Meng Yanzhi? He couldn’t ruin them before, and he can’t now.
Prepare to face whatever comes their way.
Entering the Meng Family, except for Old Master Meng, Meng Jin and Mo Xiaolin were busy in the kitchen.
Si Yu greeted them and looked at Meng Jin, seemingly asking about Meng Yanzhi.
Wasn’t it said Meng Yanzhi would be here too?
"Yanzhi is in the garden in the backyard," Meng Jin explained, saying, "Your grandpa cares most about those flowers and plants, tending them nicely. He went to see the flowers."
"What about Chenchen?" Si Yu glanced around, but besides Zaozao playing games in the living room, Chenchen was nowhere to be seen.
"She should be playing in the backyard playground," Meng Jin replied. He only saw Chenchen once before getting busy in the kitchen.
The family gathering, cooking together, makes it more meaningful.
"Then let’s go for a walk in the backyard."
Si Yu immediately said, taking Tang Yue’s hand as they headed to the backyard.
Tang Yue initially wanted to stay in the kitchen to help, but Mo Xiaolin smiled and refused, saying, "You two just go for a walk in the backyard. Your dad and I can handle the kitchen."
Backyard.
Chenchen indeed played in the playground. In the spacious backyard, there’s a small playground for Zaozao and Chenchen to play. Chenchen can’t sit still; as soon as she arrived at the Meng Family, she started running around. After playing in the playground for a while, she was intrigued by the person in the garden.
Who is this?
How come she’s never seen this person before?
Curious, Chenchen headed to the garden. In autumn, the breeze brings osmanthus fragrance. At the entrance of the garden are various chrysanthemums, incredibly beautiful. Walking further in, the hibiscus flowers are beautiful and elegant.
"Who are you?"
