Chapter 432: Shi Mo's Grandmother

r gloomy mood, she couldn't help but worry, "Madam, what's wrong with you""Aunt Song......" Fu Xiaoyao, as if she had found her anchor, hugged Aunt Song tightly, her voice choked with sobs: "What shou...Fu Xiaoyao followed her gaze and saw Shi Mo wearing a white casual home outfit, carrying a small tablet into the room.

As he got closer and closer, Fu Xiaoyao's eyes widened slightly, revealing a hint of astonishment.

Yes, it's amazing!

Men are amazed by beautiful women, and conversely, women are also amazed by handsome men.

For example, the first time she saw Lü Hánchuan, she was struck by his amazing appearance.

And she had only ever felt this way about three men. The first was Lu Hanchuan, the second Tang Yi, and the third was Shi Mo. This was because the appearances of these three men were absolutely top-notch. Moreover, Shi Mo had changed into a new outfit.

To be honest, this was her first time seeing Shi Mo in anything other than a suit. This casual and relaxed style was completely different from his usual serious and formal attire.

She felt that this style of clothing was the most suitable for Shi Mo, perfectly showcasing his natural charm. He looked just like the white-clothed son from ancient costume television dramas.

"Miss Fu Miss Fu" Seeing Fu Xiaoyao staring blankly at Shi Mo, the maid gently pushed her, pulling her back from her daze.

"What's wrong" Fu Xiaoyao hurriedly adjusted her mood and asked with a sheepish smile.

The maid pointed at Shi Mo, "Shi Zong asked if you have had your breakfast."

"Alright, alright." Fu Xiaoyao replied quickly, then looked at Shi Mo, "Mr. Shi, how did you come here"

Shi Mo raised a finger to her, shushed her gently, and motioned for her to be quiet.

Fu Xiaoyao nodded knowingly, covering her mouth and staying silent. She only used her two bright eyes to curiously stare at him, wanting to see what he was doing.

"Seeing this, Shi Mo placed his finger down and picked up the tablet. He looked at the screen and said in a gentler voice than usual, “Grandmother, yes, it’s your little sister. Would you like to see her”

Grandma

Fu Xiaoyao suddenly realized something, her heart became tense.

If she guessed correctly, the favor he wanted her to do was to pretend to be his younger sister Yao and speak to his grandmother!

As expected, Shi Mo stopped talking to the elderly person on the video call and looked over at Fu Xiaoyao. He mouthed to her softly, "Help me, coax grandma into being happy."

"...." Fu Xiaoyao looked embarrassed, having little confidence in herself and worried about being exposed.

Actually, this favor is similar to the one he asked her to go abroad before. Back then, she also pretended to be his sister to visit his grandmother.

Now, he doesn't even need to travel abroad; he can see his grandmother through a screen, which is convenient, but...

"Don't you want to" Seeing Fu Xiaoyao hesitate to take the tablet from his hand, her head bowed as if thinking about something, Shi Mo thought she was unwilling to help him. The light in his eyes dimmed considerably.

He looked like this, and Fu Xiaoyao's heart softened instantly. She opened her mouth and replied, "It's not that I'm unwilling, it's just that I'm afraid of being exposed. After all, I'm not your sister. What if the elders recognize me It would hurt them."

"No way," Shi Mo shook his head resolutely. "I told you, Grandma only remembers what my sister looked like when she was in her teens. You look almost exactly the same as she did back then, so it's no wonder Grandma can't tell the difference, especially through a screen. She can't even touch you to feel if it's really you."

"Is that so" Upon hearing this, Fu Xiaoyao's uneasy heart suddenly calmed down a lot.

Yes, she only needs to worry about being seen through by the elderly when they meet in real life. Through a screen, there's really no need for that.

Thinking about this, Fu Xiaoyao took a deep breath and reached out her hand to Shi Mo. Gathering her courage, she said, "I understand, I'll try."

"Okay." Shi Mo reconnected the video and placed the tablet in her hand.

As soon as the tablet touched her palm, a face appeared on the screen.

That was an old woman with snow-white hair and wrinkles all over her face. She was probably in her eighties, with white skin that had a rosy glow. There wasn't a single age spot on her, clearly the kind of woman who was carefully cared for and lived a life of luxury.

So this is Shi Mo's grandmother, huh She resembles him a bit, especially her eyes. They look very kind.

On the video side, the old lady also saw Fu Xiaoyao. Those already cloudy and blurred eyes suddenly became clear and bright, "Xiaoyao..."

The old woman shouted emotionally.

Fu Xiaoyao panicked and looked to Shi Mo for help, "I... I don't know what to do"

"Right now, you are Shi Yao. You should naturally agree, and also, call her Grandmother." Shi Mo reminded her.

Fu Xiaoyao swallowed nervously, nodded again, and turned her gaze back. She forced a smile towards the elderly person on the video screen and softly called out, "Grandmother."

“Ai!” The old woman responded loudly, her eyes welling up. Her aged hand trembled as she raised it and extended it towards the camera, as if she wanted to touch Fu Xiaoyao’s face through the lens.

Fu Xiaoyao saw the old man's intentions and, after biting her lip slightly, she turned her face towards the camera, pretending to be touched and showing an expression of enjoyment.

Shi Mo was very surprised to see this.

He didn't actually expect her to be so affectionate with his grandmother. He just hoped she would call her "Grandma" a few times, chat with her for a bit, and make her smile. It wouldn't be too much to ask for her not to completely fall apart at crucial moments.

But to his surprise and delight, she unexpectedly went out of her way to be close to her grandmother.

Unable to help himself, Shi Mo's eyes softened when he looked at Fu Shen.

Fu Xiaoyao didn't notice Shi Mo's gaze. Her whole attention was on the old woman.

After that shout from her grandmother, she no longer felt so nervous around the old woman, nor was she afraid of being found out as a fake.

Therefore, after that, getting along with the old woman became natural.

The old woman was truly a very kind person. As Fu Xiaoyao chatted with her, she genuinely treated her like her own grandmother.

For a moment, the large room was filled with laughter and chatter, very warm and welcoming.

Fu Xiaoyao chatted very happily with the old lady, talking until the tablet was almost out of power. The old lady also had someone urging her to rest, and this nearly hour-long video call finally ended.

"Mr. Shi, here you go. I'm sorry, I drained the battery for you." Fu Xiaoyao handed the tablet to Shi Mo, a little apologetic.

Shi Mo waved his hand dismissively, "You don't need to apologize to me. It should be me thanking you. Grandma was very happy today."

"Don't mention it, it was my pleasure. You helped me and saved me, I just returned the favor. You don't need to thank me, and besides, I'm very happy... grandmother..."

Suddenly realizing she had called him the wrong name, Fu Xiaoyao's face flushed slightly. She coughed lightly and quickly corrected herself, "The old madam is very kind."

Shi Mo saw her embarrassed appearance and smiled with pleasure, "It's better to call me Grandma. Otherwise, you'll switch between 'Grandma' and 'Old Madam,' and next time you see Grandma, you might call the wrong one."

"Next time" Fu Xiaoyao heard the hidden meaning in his words and blinked in surprise. "Mr. Shi, do you mean that I will still video call with...my grandmother after this"

Shi Mo lightly nodded his head, "That's right, Grandmother knows you, and will often look for you afterward."

"Huh" Fu Xiaoyao's lips twitched. "I never expected this, but you didn't tell me before."

"Me too, I just realized it." Shi Mo smiled apologetically.

At that moment, the phone in his pocket rang.

After apologizing, he took out his phone and looked at the caller ID. He was surprised.rning. As Aunt Song had said, the old man was indeed going to entrust them with the arrangements for the venue.Lu Hanchuan didn't have any objections and agreed directly.As for Fu Xiaoyao, she was a b...
