Chapter 921 - 964: Solving the Problem
Ye Anxin gently patted her mother’s hand, comforting her: "Mom, don’t overthink! You should rest at home for the next couple of days, and I’ll talk to Dad properly! If he really has separated from Xue Rong, I’ll support you two being together! After all, you’ve wasted over twenty years already, and I really hope you have a companion in the days to come! If he hasn’t separated from Xue Rong, I’ll persuade him to leave and not disturb your peaceful life anymore!"
Her mother nodded, firmly saying: "Judging by the eldest sister’s character, she would never let go! She loves him so much, how could she willingly give up! Nan Mingchuan must be lying to me!"
"Mom, nothing in the world is absolute! Actually, Xue Rong has changed a lot too! She’s not as bad as she used to be!" After the incident with Xue Rong poisoning her father, Ye Anxin felt that Xue Rong had changed!
However, what really happened during this time, and why her father suddenly returned, left her quite confused.
Her mother sighed inwardly, helplessly saying: "The eldest sister isn’t bad either, just strong-willed and loves your father deeply! Everything she does is for him! That’s why I don’t want to have any more ties with him because of her!"
Ye Anxin smiled wide, gently saying: "Mom, don’t worry! I have a sense of propriety, and I’ll handle it well!"
"Okay!" Her mother was very trusting of her only daughter! After going through so many things, she had grown a lot! She also handled things much better!
After talking with Ye Anxin for a while, her mother’s spirits slightly improved, only then noticing that only Ye Anxin had come. She hurriedly asked, "Anxin, you’re here? Where is Chu Yi?"
Ye Anxin replied with a smile: "Chu Yi is at home!"
Her mother reproached: "Why didn’t you bring Chu Yi?"
Ye Anxin couldn’t help but shake her head, helplessly saying: "Mom, I thought you were in trouble, so I came to solve things for you! Bringing her along, how could we sit together and talk? That little one has been getting more mischievous recently!"
"She’s already five months old, bound to be more troublesome; kids at that age are supposed to be mischievous! It’s perfectly normal!" Thinking of her little granddaughter, her mother felt a tender itch in her heart!
If possible, she really hoped Tiantian could be together with her little grandson!
Little Chu Yi is different from Xiao Bai; Xiao Bai talks little, is aloof, and older in mentality, lacking the innocence children should have!
Little Chu Yi is completely different, like a little bundle of joy! She smiles at everyone, regardless of who, if someone claps, she dives right into their arms!
Especially now that she’s beginning to crave food; every time she sees someone eating, drool would run down her mouth! To coax others into giving her food, she keeps smiling at them, how charmingly cute she is!
Whenever she’s alone, little Chu Yi’s cute appearance always surfaces in her mind!
"Yes! Not only mischievous, but quite a glutton too! Xiao Bai now calls her ’little greedy cat’, always grabbing things to eat!" Mentioning little Chu Yi, Ye Anxin’s face was full of smiles.
Especially when she hasn’t eaten enough, she’d put her hand into her mouth, sucking loudly! Her hunger, oh how evident!
"Someday, make sure to bring her for me to see!" Saying this, suddenly remembering something, she added: "By the way, Nan Mingchuan asked about little Chu Yi’s situation today! How does he know about Chu Yi?"
At her mother’s question, Ye Anxin’s smile froze!
Her mother knew nothing about her acknowledging her roots and reconciling with Nan Mingchuan! Naturally, she was completely unaware of Ye Anxin accepting the Nanshang Group! Therefore, whenever she contacted her father, it was secretively, never daring to tell her mother!
Regarding little Chu Yi’s matters, she had mentioned them to Nan Mingchuan over calls! Nan Mingchuan even often said he wanted to meet Xiao Bai and Chu Yi!
She didn’t expect he’d actually come back this time! However, he didn’t come to see Xiao Bai and Chu Yi, but to find her mother! This sufficiently proved her mother’s importance in his eyes.
Noticing Ye Anxin’s expression, her mother probed, "Anxin, are you hiding something from me?"
Ye Anxin forced a smile, somewhat unnaturally responding: "Mom, what are you thinking, how could I be hiding something from you?"
Her mother raised an eyebrow, doubtfully asking, "Really nothing?"
"Really nothing! If there were anything, I’d tell you!" Ye Anxin turned aside, too guilty to face her mother.
Regarding recognizing Nan Mingchuan, she dared not tell her mother yet! Once she understood the situation thoroughly, if Nan Mingchuan truly had separated from Xue Rong and returned intending to marry her mother, only then she’d reveal everything to her! If not, she’d keep it concealed!
Otherwise, without her mother and father reconciling, letting her mother know the daughter she’d raised for over twenty years recognized her roots so easily, it would surely sadden her mother! She didn’t want her mother unhappy!
Her mother’s thoughts were all on Nan Mingchuan now, unable to concentrate, didn’t notice Ye Anxin’s guilty look and held her hand instead, helplessly saying: "Since you’re here, have lunch with Mom! I’ll cook personally!"
"Okay!" Ye Anxin smiled and nodded.
"Then I’ll go prepare the dishes, you sit and watch some TV!" Saying this, she stood up, found an apron, and went into the kitchen.
Just as her mother entered the kitchen, Ye Anxin’s phone in her pocket rang intensely!
Ye Anxin checked the caller ID, and seeing Nan Mingchuan’s name on the screen, hesitated on whether to answer or hang up.
Upon hearing the phone ring, her mother came out, saw Ye Anxin staring at her phone, and urged, "Anxin, who is calling? Why aren’t you answering?"
"It’s Yueyue calling! Definitely to invite me shopping again! She’s always idle, I don’t have time to accompany her every day!" She said, hanging up while her mother watched, then put the phone back into her pocket.
Her mother rolled her eyes at Ye Anxin, helplessly saying: "You child, Yueyue calls you and you don’t answer, she’ll definitely be mad!"
Ye Anxin smiled indifferently, saying: "It’s fine, Yueyue and I have a good friendship, she won’t blame me for this!"
"If she calls again, answer it, don’t hang up!" Saying this, she turned back into the kitchen.
Sure enough, as soon as her mother entered the kitchen, her phone rang again in her pocket.
Ye Anxin took it out, saw Nan Mingchuan calling, and without hesitation, hung up again, then set the phone to vibrate.
