Five years ago, a conspiracy led to an unexpected pregnancy, a city-wide manhunt, and homelessness.
In despair, she fled to another country.
Five years later, she made a grand return wi...
"Hmph." Li Hanting snorted coldly, but in his dark and misty eyes, he didn't know when Li Jinchen became so talkative?
The man remained calm, glanced at the rearview mirror again, and drove directly back to the Imperial Palace.
He Meiqi did not leave. After calling Li Hanting, she stayed in the Imperial Palace waiting for people.
She just didn't believe that with her waiting here, Li Hanting would not take her beloved grandson back?
The housekeeper and other servants all did their work in silence, but as the old servants in the family, they still missed the young master terribly after he had not been around for so many days.
But these words really cannot be said in front of the master. If the lady gets angry with the master, it will be the servants who will be in trouble.
So doing your job quietly is better than anything else.
Fortunately, this silent wait did not last long.
The sound of a car engine could be heard outside, which made the housekeeper and others, who clearly felt He Meiqi's anger, feel a little relieved.
Then, the sound arrives before the person arrives.
A child's excited voice was heard from outside, and it couldn't be suppressed: "Grandma..."
"Hey." He Meiqi's expression changed immediately and she stood up from the sofa. Through the floor-to-ceiling window, she really saw the little guy who slipped out of the car and ran straight into the house without even bothering to close the car door. Her heart suddenly softened.
"Run slower, run slower, grandma is here!" When the servant opened the door, before He Meiqi could go out to greet him, a little ball pounced on her legs.
He Meiqi was so frightened that she was afraid he would fall, and she kept scolding him, "You really miss me so much. How come you've become so irritable after not seeing me for so many days?"
"I miss grandma too." Xia Yuan was not stingy and followed up.
"Oh, your little mouth has become sweeter. Come, let grandma hold you." He Meiqi really missed this naughty boy. She picked up his little body and ignored Li Hanting who came in. As she walked into the house, she asked, "Come, tell grandma, are you doing well with your mother? Is your mother good to you? Why does grandma think you have lost weight?"
"Not thin." Xia Yu'an was in He Meiqi's arms, raising his arms to show her his small muscles: "My brother doesn't have muscles, but I do. Mommy said that more exercise will keep you healthy."
Hearing the little guy calling the unknown woman "Mommy" right away, He Meiqi got jealous: "Even calling her "Mommy"? Is she that nice to you?"
Xia Yu'an immediately hugged He Meiqi's neck with a smile: "Mommy is the best to me, just like grandma is so good to me."
"What a sweet little mouth! Did you apply honey on it?" He Meiqi was instantly coaxed and her heart blossomed with joy.
"Hehe." Xia Yu'an snuggled into her neck. He didn't want to say anything bad about Mommy. He wanted Grandma to have a good impression of Mommy, so that when he wanted Mommy and Daddy to be together in the future, Grandma wouldn't hate Mommy.
When Li Hanting came in from outside, he saw such a harmonious scene.
Seeing that Xia Yuan had coaxed his mother into a happy smile, he just raised his eyebrows slightly but didn't say anything.
Putting down the key, Li Hanting loosened his tie and was about to walk upstairs.
He Meiqi saw him and called out, "Han Ting, come here. I want to tell you something."
Li Hanting paused for a moment, then took out his tie and threw it to the servant standing beside him. Then he turned around, went downstairs and walked towards the hall.
He Meiqi was sitting on the sofa holding Xia Yu'an, and had already stuffed a lot of snacks into the little guy's hands.
Li Hanting came over and saw it, frowning slightly: "Tell him to eat less."
"How much can a child eat? Besides, we have enough at home. Baby can eat as much as he wants." He Meiqi was dissatisfied with Li Hanting's seriousness.
"He's about to change his teeth!" Li Hanting reminded lightly.
He Meiqi stopped talking, but asked Xia Yu'an to open his mouth so that she could see the little guy's teeth.
Xia Yuan is very well behaved, whatever grandma says is what he does!
Li Hanting sat down beside him: "What's the matter?"
"Can't you just come and talk to me if you have nothing to do?" He Meiqi rolled her eyes in annoyance. "How long has it been since you've been back to the old house? You know your dad's stubborn temper, how long are you two going to keep fighting?"
Li Hanting just frowned slightly, but didn't express anything.
"Alas, I know you have some doubts in your heart, but doesn't your mother have any? No matter how much, you are in charge of Li's now, and you are the successor of Li's. Even if others are not convinced, what can they do? You are in charge of everything." He Meiqi said.
"Besides, I've let it go over the years. To be frank, it doesn't matter whether your dad is here or not. Mom has you, and you're in charge of the Li family. I'm telling you this because I want you to let it go. So many years have passed, and even though the old man is unconscious, he's still your dad after all. Blood ties can't be severed, so when it's time to let go, let it go."
"You came here today just to say this?" Li Hanting was unmoved, his indifferent eyes fixed on a dark color, making him want to take out a cigarette and smoke it.
"What are you talking about, little brat? Of course I'm here to see my precious grandson." He Meiqi rolled her eyes at him.
"But when are you going to invite Chenchen's mother home? Even though I'm forcing you to do it, Chenchen can't live without a mother. But how can a stepmother compare to a biological mother? Look at how much my Baoer has changed now. He can speak much more fluently."
Li Hanting couldn't help but notice this, and even He Meiqi noticed it.
Because she saw this, He Meiqi was overjoyed. Because of the changes in her baby, she no longer cared about the fact that Chenchen had grown up without his mother. She wanted her son to marry that woman back home, so that Chenchen would only get better and better.
There was an undercurrent flowing in the depths of Li Hanting's calm eyes. Looking at Xia Yu'an who was happily chewing the peach, he didn't know what he was thinking, but he didn't say anything.
When Xia Yu'an heard his grandmother's words, his eyes lit up. He looked up at his grandmother and asked, "Can Mom come home?"
"Yes, of course." He Meiqi loved her precious grandson the most, so as soon as her precious grandson opened his mouth, she immediately made the decision.
"But..." Xia Yu'an looked at his cheap dad hesitantly, "Dad doesn't like Mommy——"
This small voice was so desolate that even the peach in my hand lost its fragrance.
He Meiqi looked distressed. She held the little guy in her arms and sat him on her lap: "Come and tell grandma what kind of person your mother is?"
"She's a very good person. Mommy is very good to me and to my brother too..." Xia Yuan mentioned Li Jinchen casually.
"Brother?" He Meiqi frowned slightly. Could it be that the woman already has a new family?
This is a difficult situation.
