Chapter 516: Chapter 516: If I don’t know how to cherish you, I don’t want it! _1
“Tell him what? We’re divorced! An old man, still troubling a young girl like you? I’m missing his coat, am I?”
Lady Shen got up after saying these words, “I’ll go see what the kitchen has cooked for you. Once you’ve eaten, I’ll have soone escort you off the island. I’m not at ease with a girl leaving at this hour. What sickness does Officer have that it has you so anxious to return?”
“He has a fever, a high fever that’s not going away. The redy that helps his fever is only with .”
Lady Shen said, “It’s just a high fever. If a grown man can’t withstand a minor sickness and needs you to journey ho exhausted, does that boy even care for you? If he doesn’t care for you, forget him!”
“He does care for . I made the decision to co back without telling him first. Granny, please don’t misunderstand him.”
“You’re not even married yet, and already so protective of him. How’s it going to be when you actually marry into his family? When are we announcing the betrothal? This ti, your parents went to the Imperial City. It’s just right to settle all these betrothal matters. I called your mom yesterday, and she said she hasn’t t the in-laws yet? Your father is sick, and they haven’t even visited him. This is quite preposterous! Are they not taking you seriously? If they don’t value you, then don’t marry into their family!”
Lady Shen had watched Ye Xingguang grow up. Xingguang was like her own granddaughter and she couldn’t bear to see others neglecting her.
Ye Xingguang felt dejected whenever the topic of betrothal was brought up.
She felt sowhat choked up too. Her future parents-in-law had not visited her sick father, which seed to upset her parents.
Not to ntion her parents, she herself was feeling troubled.
What’s with this…
Forget it, let’s not bring up this annoying matter.
Seeing her remain silent, Lady Shen beca even more unhappy. It seed that the Ye’s family did not truly cherish her adopted granddaughter!
The cook served up a bowl of beef noodles and several dishes for Ye Xingguang. She served them all onto the dining table once they were hot.
Ye Xingguang was starving. She didn’t stand on ceremony and gobbled everything up, finally finishing with a satisfying burp.
By the ti she was done eating, Lady Shen had arranged a speedboat with a sailor who could navigate them off the island. Before leaving, she stuffed Ye Xingguang with a bunch of snacks to take back to the Imperial City.
Ye Xingguang carried all of it in her hands, “Well, Granny Shen, I’m off now.”
“Yes, go on. Take good care of your dad.”
Ye Xingguang had already walked out of the yard, but she rembered to say to Lady Shen, “Granny Shen, give it so thought. Maybe Mr. Gu could be your companion in your old age. Seeing Mr. Gu’s persistence, I think he’s pretty good. You could have a beautiful sunset love story.”
Lady Shen glared at Ye Xingguang, feeling a bit shy, “What sunset love, old age…He’s dreaming if he thinks he wants to take care of him! Go on now, you cheeky girl, uttering such nonsense.”
Ye Xingguang gave a cheeky smile and left.
Under the street lights, she pulled her small suitcase walking on flagstone pavent. There was an abundance of greenery, around 60% of the island, with mountain and river vistas, fragrant flowers and birdsong. The villas were all uniquely designed according to the terrain, making each of them distinct, unlike the identical villas in the big cities.
The extraordinary villas on the island ca in a variety of architectural styles. Each was unique and seed to be the inspired creation of a designer.
Before she left the island, she passed by Li Yu’s house.
Li Yu’s villa was built against the mountain and was acclaid as the most beautiful corner on the island.
From afar, Ye Xingguang saw Li Yu under the streetlight, squatting by the red wall at the beautiful corner, with his head tilted as if he were sleeping. This guy! Why wasn’t he sleeping in his comfortable bed, but instead at the corner of the wall? Was he insane?
