Ye Nanning was going to go home with Ye Tingshuang, so she reluctantly said goodbye to Du Xiran on the roadside and said softly, "Don't worry, I'll be back soon, nothing will happen."

"I know." Du Xiran gritted his teeth and said, "But can you please stop staring at my belly? You know it's impossible!"

Ye Nanning felt very regretful: "Alas."

Du Xiran: “…”

Ye Tingshuang honked the horn, and Ye Nanning got into the car, looking back every few steps. She leaned on the car window, watching the figure getting farther and farther away until it disappeared, and she was reluctant to look back for a long time.

"Ye Nanning, you really impressed me." Ye Tingshuang said, "If I had known that you would be so annoying in a relationship, I would have arranged a date for you earlier."

Ye Nanning was startled and turned to look at her: "Why did you arrange a date for me?"

"Let the Ye family see that you are not a strong man." Ye Tingshuang laughed.

Ye Nanning was puzzled: "When did I become... a strong person?"

Ye Tingshuang: "Do you really not understand or are you pretending not to understand?"

Ye Nanning looked at her blankly: "Don't they think you are the best?"

"That's just superficial work." Ye Tingshuang said, "On the surface, they can only praise me in front of my mother, but privately they are praising you, saying that you are more like dad and have more potential to be the heir."

Fu Jie was born into a prominent family and was very considerate in dealing with people. In the eyes of outsiders and relatives, she was a beautiful and intelligent hostess, so there was a lot of discussion about her accepting Ye Nanning into the Ye family.

However, everyone did a good job on the surface. They would praise Fu Jie and her two children for Fu Jie's sake, and at the same time step on Ye Nanning, who came from an unknown background.

But Ye Tingshuang had heard this group of people mocking Fu Jie in private for being incompetent several times, saying that her own child was not as good as the one she adopted, so Ye Tingshuang hated Ye Nanning even more.

Ye Nanning hurriedly shook her hands: "No, no, I never thought of arguing with you about this."

Ye Tingshuang glanced at her sideways, her expression not fake, and she curled her lips: "I know. Last month, on my birthday, I received a handmade aromatherapy gift package. No one signed it. It was from you, right?"

Ye Nanning bit her lower lip and shook her head: "It's not me."

"I'll give you one more chance. If you lie to me, I'll throw you out of the car."

"It's me." Ye Nanning lowered her head.

"So the anonymous cookie you received last year was also you?"

"Um."

Ye Tingshuang exhaled slowly: "Why do you want to be anonymous?"

If Ye Tingyuan hadn't called her recently and kept mentioning Ye Nanning's changes, which gave her another guess, she would have always thought that it was a gift from a suitor who had a crush on her.

"I'm afraid you don't like it." Ye Nanning said truthfully.

Ye Tingshuang was quiet for a moment, then said, "Just give it to me next time. If you don't like it, I'll tell you and you can just prepare it again, right?"

Hearing this, Ye Nanning's eyes lit up: "Really?"

"Um."

"Well...do you like that aromatherapy?" Ye Nanning asked cautiously.

"I like it, I like it very much." Ye Tingshuang pointed at the pendant on the car, "Are you blind?"

Only then did Ye Nanning notice that the pendant was an aromatherapy pendant that she had made herself. There were also various other aromatherapy products in the gift package.

Ye Nanning pursed her lips and smiled.

After the two arrived home, Fu Jie and Ye Yiyun watched them enter the house one after another, and were a little surprised: "Why did you come back together?"

Ye Nanning replied: "Sister went to the company to pick me up."

"Well, we had a meal together by the way." Ye Tingshuang added in a calm tone.

The parents were very surprised and looked at them upstairs in disbelief. Fu Jie asked in a low voice: "What are they going to eat together? Will they quarrel?"

"It shouldn't be that serious. Tingshuang has only been back for a day or two. Why are they quarreling so soon?" Ye Yiyu said.

Fu Jie shook her head, indicating that she didn't know, and then followed quietly. She heard the two of them discussing the smell, and was confused. After returning to the room, she said to the curious Ye Yiyu: "I don't quite understand. They are actually discussing the smell of snail noodles?"

Ye Yiyun guessed: "Is it because of this that they quarreled?"

"It doesn't look like they are arguing." Fu Jie waved her hand, "Forget it, let the young people solve their own problems. I'm tired."

Ye Yiyun held her hand and said, "Well, you have worked so hard these years."

The next morning, Ye Tingyuan went home for the holiday, and when he met Ye Tingshuang, they started to argue with each other. Ye Nanning watched from the side and laughed secretly.

Ye Tingyuan glanced at her out of the corner of his eye, then suddenly reached out and hooked Ye Nanning's neck: "Big sister, you eat foreign food every day abroad, and you bully me when you come back. Do you believe that my second sister and I will punch you twice together?"

Ye Nanning is so well-behaved.

"Okay, let's see who can beat me among you." Ye Tingshuang has already started preparing to punch.

"Oh no, run away." Ye Tingyuan grabbed Ye Nanning and ran upstairs.

The house suddenly became lively. Fu Jie and Ye Yiyu prepared the sacrificial items before calling the children.

The three of them went downstairs breathlessly. The siblings were still bickering. Ye Nanning had a smile on her face the whole time. She accidentally bumped into Ye Yiyu and his wife, smiled at them, and then got into the car.

The couple looked at each other and smiled with relief.

The cemetery is in the suburbs, and the fees paid are not small, so it is well maintained, the environment is clean, and there are special people to manage it. The car stopped outside the gate, and it took a while to walk up the mountain to get there.

As soon as he got off the car, Ye Tingshuang looked at Ye Nanning and said, "Lead the way."

As soon as Ye Nanning turned around, she found that Fu Jie was already walking ahead. She followed her with some surprise and discovered that she was very familiar with the road here, and it didn't seem like it was her first time here.

Ye Yiyun took a few steps behind and answered a call from the company. After hanging up, he realized that Ye Nanning had come to him without him noticing that she had something to ask him. He took the initiative to ask, "What do you want to say?"

Ye Nanning asked in a low voice: "Has Aunt Fu been here before?"

Ye Yiyu looked up at the figure in front of him and nodded: "Yeah."

"when?"

"After you entered junior high school." Ye Yiyu said, "She was hospitalized once before, do you remember?"

Ye Nanning nodded. One year Fu Jie fell ill, but Ye Yiyu could not always stay by her bedside due to company matters. Ye Tingshuang and her brother and sister were also in school, so only the nanny stayed by her bedside.

Ye Nanning thought of the scene when her mother was in the hospital, so she secretly skipped classes and went to the hospital. She didn't dare to enter the ward, and kept lying outside the window to pay attention to the situation inside. She was relieved when she saw Fu Jie wake up, and then she went to buy food. When she came back, there were a few more people in the ward. Ye Yiyu was worried, and Ye Tingshuang and her brother lay on the bed and cried non-stop. In the end, it was still Fu Jie, the patient, who kept comforting them.

Ye Nanning looked at the warm scene in the ward and left dejectedly.

"Fu Jie said that she seemed to see you that day, but she was afraid it was an illusion." Ye Yiyu said, "After that, every Qingming Festival, after you left, she would come with me to see your mother. So, did you go to the hospital at that time?"

Ye Nanning nodded gently: "Thank you for coming to see mom."

Ye Yiyun raised his hand, wanting to touch his daughter's head, but he was not used to it. He pulled his hand back stiffly and sighed, "Silly child."

After walking for a while, they arrived at their destination. Only Ye Tingshuang and Ye Tingyuan were here for the first time. They subconsciously looked around the surroundings, and then looked at the photo on the tombstone. The woman was very similar to Ye Nanning, but her temperament was more stable and concentrated. If she were still alive, she must be a powerful figure.

Several people presented flowers one after another, looked at the woman in the photo in silence for a while, and then left quietly, giving Ye Nanning some time to be alone.

There was a light rain in the sky. Ye Nanning wiped the water drops on the photo and carefully engraved her face in her heart. In the blink of an eye, it was almost twenty years. Ye Nanning asked softly: "Mom, many people came to see you today. Are you happy? I am doing well now. I will graduate soon. My internship has been converted to a regular job. I am also in love. He is a great person, but he is a woman. You should not be angry, right? My relationship with my family has improved a lot. Everything is getting better. I always thought I was just alone, but it seems not..."

"You know you're not alone, but why don't you bring an extra umbrella?"

Ye Nanning was slightly startled when she heard the familiar voice. She turned her head and saw Du Xiran appeared beside her at some point, holding a black umbrella to shield her from the rain.

Ye Nanning asked in surprise: "Why are you here?"

"I dreamed of you last night, so I wanted to come and see you." Du Xiran tilted his head and asked with a smile, "Are you not welcome to me?"

"No, no, you're welcome. I'm just curious how you know this place?" Ye Nanning asked.

"Ye Tingshuang told me. I asked her twice last night and she told me the address." Du Xiran said, "You don't mind my sudden visit, right?"

"Of course not!" No wonder Ye Tingshuang urged others to go down the mountain quickly on the pretext of packing their luggage. It turned out that she was making room for Du Xiran?

The rain fell on the umbrella, fell along the edge, and splashed on shoes and trouser legs. The air was filled with the mixed smell of rain, soil and grass.

Du Xiran squatted down and looked at the tombstone. Ye Nanning immediately introduced her: "This is my mother."

"I know. I'm not blind. I saw her photo the night before last." Du Xiran said, looking at the photo.

"Oh, yes..." Ye Nanning scratched her head awkwardly.

Du Xiran smiled and asked, "Wouldn't you like to introduce me to your mother?"

Ye Nanning's heart surged, her eyes trembled slightly, and a warm current surged up. Then she turned her head to look at the tombstone, restrained herself, and tried to introduce her in the calmest tone: "Mom, this is my girlfriend, her name is Du Xiran, she is very good, I like her very much."

Du Xiran waited for a moment and asked curiously, "That's it? Nothing else?"

"That's all..." Ye Nanning had no experience meeting parents, and looked at her anxiously, "What else should I say?"

"Please at least give me a complete introduction, otherwise how can your mother leave you to me?" Du Xiran looked at her with disdain.

"Ah? Then what else should I introduce?" Ye Nanning looked at her blankly, but she stared straight at Ye Ming's photo and shouted shockingly: "Mom."

Ye Nanning: “!!!”

Ye Nanning was flattered and wanted to stand up, but her head hit the umbrella, so she had to squat again and look at her profile in disbelief, but the other party seemed not to notice and continued, "Hello, it's our first meeting. My name is Du Xiran, I'm 30 years old, and I work in the financial industry. I'm in the same industry as you. There are four people in my family. My parents have social security, and my younger sister is going to take the college entrance examination. They won't be a burden to Nanning and me. I currently have a house and a car, I don't smoke, drink, gamble, or visit prostitutes, and I have no bad habits. Although I don't know what your requirements for a son-in-law are, I promise you that I will treat your daughter well all my life. I know she must have suffered a lot of grievances in the past, but she won't in the future, don't worry."

Ye Nanning stared at her intently, her eyes slightly moist and tears welled up in her eyes.

"Why are you still crying?" Du Xiran hurriedly wiped her tears. "If your mother saw it, she might think I bullied you and come to me in my dream in the middle of the night."

Ye Nanning burst into laughter and hugged her: "Thank you... Meeting you is my greatest blessing."

Du Xiran patted her on the back, with a slight smile on his face: "Who isn't?"
