Ye Chengmin was silent for a while, the dish he had picked up in his bowl remained uneaten. After a long pause, he finally spoke: "Your grandma has always been taken care of by you. We haven’t been involved, and it’s rare that your mom and I have so free ti these days with no work. With the New Year just two days away, I plan to visit her at the nursing ho tomorrow. If there are no issues from the hospital, we can bring her ho for the New Year. After the holiday, when your mom and I return to work, we can send her back to the nursing ho. She is getting older now and has this illness. Besides us, who are not her blood relatives, she has no one else. As the younger generation, we should fulfill our duties of filial piety."
Hearing his words, Ye Lingran was sowhat taken aback. She had always known since childhood that Ye Chengmin didn’t like Grandma Ye, so his suggestion to bring her ho for the New Year was unexpected for her.
Grandma Ye married into the Ye Family at forty without children. Eight years later, Grandpa Ye passed away. At that ti, Ye Chengmin had just gotten married, and Grandma Ye also knew that Ye Chengmin wasn’t fond of her, so she always lived in an old villa in the Nancheng rural area, where Grandpa Ye used to live. It wasn’t until Ye Lingran was born, and over three years old, that Ye Chengmin brought Grandma Ye to Nancheng City.
"If Grandma knows, she’ll definitely be very happy. She’ll probably be smiling from ear to ear when she sees you and Mom tomorrow," Ye Lingran said with a heartfelt smile.
Grandma Ye’s personality was always serene and gentle, never demanding anything. But what she truly needed in her heart, Ye Lingran could feel. She had no children of her own and knew that her stepson Ye Chengmin didn’t like her, so she poured all her love and hopes into Ye Lingran.
"Since it’s decided, let’s enjoy our al!" Ru Junlan also smiled warmly, serving them each a piece of dish, and asked with a smile, "By the way, Ranran, will you co with us to pick up your grandma tomorrow morning?"
Ye Lingran was slightly taken aback when she heard that. Suddenly rembering her previous arrangent with Yun Qi, she thought for a mont and said, "Well... I might not be able to go with you tomorrow morning. I made an appointnt with soone. I’ll co back in the afternoon to join you for the al. It’s been a while since we all had dinner together."
"An appointnt? Is it with Cen Jin and them? Speaking of which, we haven’t seen Cen Jin in a long ti. When you have ti, invite her over for dinner. Didn’t you say she and Jiang Baizhou registered their marriage?"
"Yes, I’ll arrange it in a few days." Ye Lingran smiled faintly, not intending to go into detail about her upcoming eting with Yun Qi. It would be troubleso if it couldn’t be well explained later.
After dinner, Ye Lingran helped Ru Junlan tidy up the dishes and washing them. As she was washing, Ru Junlan suddenly smiled and asked, "Ranran, how are things with Yun Qi... recently? Your dad and I have been abroad and haven’t had the ti to ask you about these things."
The dishwashing paused, and Ye Lingran glanced at Ru Junlan, who was looking at her. She then smiled: "It’s been going well."
"Really?"
"Of course."
"That’s good. Previously, I was telling your dad that Yun Qi is quite excellent. Even though he manages such a large enterprise like the Yun Group, he’s not frivolous at all, very stable, and most importantly, he has a good temperant. You ntioned eting his parents on WeChat last ti. I was busy those days and didn’t get the chance to ask, how did it go? Are his parents easy to get along with?"
"Very nice. I didn’t et his dad, only his mom. She’s also very gentle and amiable, and very approachable, not the least bit pretentious."
"That’s good. A mother-in-law can be a hurdle, but if she’s easy to get along with and doesn’t make things difficult for you, then I don’t have anything to worry about. After all, while our family is well-off, there’s still a bit of a gap compared to the Yun Family. I’m worried you’ll feel wronged if you marry into their family. If that’s the case, I’d rather you not be with him, okay? As the only daughter of the Ye Family, you shouldn’t endure any grievances."
"Yes, I understand, Mom. I have a grasp of the situation."
"Hmm, you’ve always been an independent person with your own ideas. I’m just ntioning it; as long as you’re aware."
"Yes." Ye Lingran responded softly, with contemplation and apprehension in her heart, and her dishwashing motions slowed down.
