"Your mom won’t leave you, she just stepped out for a bit. We’ll go find her now." Quan Jin said, half-coaxing.

Suisui bit her cheek, looking very upset.

The call finally connected.

"Grandma, it’s me," Quan Jin said.

"I know it’s you. I heard you took Suisui out early this morning. Where did you take her?" Yu Rujin sounded a bit worried on the other end.

Afraid this unfilial grandson might pull off another earth-shattering deed.

Quan Jin understood the old lady’s concerns and said warmly, "I took Suisui to find her mom."

"What??!" Yu Rujin was astonished.

"Yeah." Quan Jin was calm.

To Yu Rujin, this was too strange!

More bizarre than the sun rising from the west.

Yu Rujin was skeptical: "Are you serious? Trying to trick an old woman like me?"

Trick? Is he so untrustworthy? Quan Jin thought.

He couldn’t help but chuckle and said, "Really going to find her, but I don’t have her contact information, so I called you, Grandma, to ask for her number..."

Pausing, Quan Jin glanced down at Suisui.

The little girl was looking at him with eager eyes, her face full of melancholy.

It seemed his credibility wasn’t great; even the easiest-to-pacify child didn’t believe him.

He continued, "Suisui misses her mom terribly. I’m not good at comforting, so I can only take her to her mom. Grandma, send me her number so I can contact her."

Even though she wasn’t entirely convinced,

Yu Rujin still really hoped it was true.

Even if it wasn’t true, she would also be glad to give Yuanyuan’s number.

So, after hanging up, Yu Rujin immediately sent Gu Yuan’s number to Quan Jin.

’Buzz buzz—’

The phone vibrated twice; a message came in on WeChat.

Spring: 183******

The phone number sent via WeChat doesn’t need to be copied again; just tapping it could dial directly, so he called the number.

After waiting about 4 to 5 seconds, the call was answered.

Quan Jin immediately stated his name: "This is Quan Jin."

A clear voice from the other end said: "Oh, it’s Jin, what’s up?"

Quan Jin: "..."

Wrong number??

Or did he mishear?

It seemed like he heard his Fifth Uncle’s voice.

Quan Jin took the phone down and looked at the screen. It was indeed an unknown number, showing it was from Sui City, should be that woman’s number. Did Grandma give him the wrong number?

After a few seconds of silence, Quan Jin brought the phone back to his ear and asked, "...Who is this?"

A two-word response came from the other end: "It’s Quan Yin."

Quan Jin’s lips pressed into a straight line, confirming it was indeed his Fifth Uncle’s voice.

He knew Fifth Uncle was in Hai City; he didn’t expect Fifth Uncle to answer the woman’s phone at this time. He figured Grandma must have sent the wrong number.

Quan Yin asked, "What’s up?"

"Nothing, Fifth Uncle, go about your business, I’ll hang up first." Quan Jin said, then ended the call.

He entered the WeChat conversation with Spring, typing—

Quan Jin: Why is the number Fifth Uncle’s? Grandma, did you send the wrong one? Please send it again.

No immediate reply from the other side.

Probably the phone wasn’t nearby, hadn’t seen the message.

Quan Jin glanced at the melancholy little girl beside him, tears welling up in her eyes. If he didn’t find her mom quickly, she was about to cry.

So he decided to call and ask.

The call was answered quickly.

Yu Rujin on the other end asked, "What is it this time??"

Quan Jin: "..." Suddenly felt so humble.

He explained the situation, and Yu Rujin was puzzled: "How could it be wrong? Yuanyuan’s number is that number, exactly."

Quan Jin’s eyes darkened: "Grandma, are you sure?"

Yu Rujin wasn’t certain. If that call had been picked up by Fifth Uncle, it meant that Fifth Uncle was with Ya Yuanyuan now.

"Grandma?"

"Hmm?"

"Are you sure the number is correct?"

"Argh..." Yu Rujin started dodging, "You know I have presbyopia. The text on the phone screen is so small, I can’t see it clearly. Let me send you the number... Oh right, I’m a bit busy now, maybe you should bring Suisui back."

Quan Jin: "..."

Yu Rujin also added: "I asked Yuanyuan yesterday, she’s meeting a friend today and is probably quite busy. Bring Suisui back, don’t delay Yuanyuan’s business."

Quan Jin complied: "Okay."

After hanging up the phone anxiously, Quan Jin dialed the number grandma sent him again.

As soon as he dialed, it was busy.

Grandma was covering so well.

Looks like it’s not just him fanning the flames; Grandma was also helping to entangle Fifth Uncle and that woman. Although the seniority might seem chaotic in the future, there’s an age-old saying: true lovers will eventually end up together.
