Duan Ye quickly returned to the Duan family.

He took out his key and opened the door, then froze on the spot, because almost everything inside had been packed away.

Ding Yifen and Duan Sheng were still busy moving boxes in the living room.

"Mom and Dad, what are you doing? Are you moving out? Why didn't you tell me?"

Ding Yifen wiped the sweat from her forehead: "Aren't you busy? Besides, you've only been back for a short time, and you're officially going back to work next week. Once you're done, take a good rest and don't worry about things at home."

Duan Sheng chimed in, "Yes, your mother and I will take it slow and prepare to change our environment. Don't feel any pressure. If you don't have anything to do, go and spend time with Qingyuan and the child."

Duan Ye felt heartbroken upon hearing this and quickly went over to help: "You should have told me about this. Don't keep it from me like this. No matter how busy you are, aren't you my parents too?"

"By the way, since you want to move, then go ahead and move. I'll call a moving company for you tomorrow. Have you found a new place yet? If not, you can stay at my place for now..."

Ding Yifen stopped him, saying, "Don't worry about it."

Duan Sheng: "Yeah, it's just the two of us, your mom and I. We can live anywhere. I'm planning to buy a two-bedroom apartment near your mom's school..."

Duan Ye: "Dad, a two-bedroom apartment isn't enough. Listen to me, I'll take care of the housing problem."

Duan Sheng: "Xiao Ye, you should keep your money. Save it to live a good life with Qing Yuan. Although the Luo family isn't short of money, what kind of logic is it for your parents to ask you to pay for the house when you move? Besides, your mother and I have decent salaries, and our pensions will be substantial after we retire. Plus, with the money from selling this house, it'll be more than enough..."

When Duan Sheng gets stubborn, Duan Ye can't stop him.

Just as he was about to say something, Ding Yifen's phone rang.

Chen Niannian: "Mom, are you and Dad still packing?"

Duan Sheng glanced at her, so Ding Yifen turned on the speakerphone: "Yes, Niannian, how are you? Is your injury any better?"

hurt?

Duan Ye was somewhat puzzled.

Shen Niannian's voice was still cheerful: "I'm much better now, Mom and Dad, don't worry. I heard from Aze that you're preparing to move. The neighborhood you want to move to happens to be the project that your daughter-in-law, Shen Niannian, works in. Mom and Dad, don't worry, just move in with peace of mind. If you feel bad about it, how about putting Duan Ze's name on the property certificate?"

Ding Yifen and Duan Sheng were both startled.

Duan Sheng quickly said, "No, Niannian, your mother and I have money and can afford to buy a house. You and Xiaoze should just save your money for living expenses."

Shen Niannian retorted, "That won't do. I'm counting on you to help Duan Ze and me take care of our grandson after you retire, so this house definitely has to be bought by me, the daughter-in-law. Mom and Dad, my protest is invalid."

"Mom and Dad, I'll have Duan Ze deliver the property certificate to you first thing tomorrow morning. The house is empty, and my daughter-in-law won't be responsible for the renovations. You can decorate it yourselves as you like."

Ding Yifen and Duan Sheng were both amused: "You silly child..."

"Ouch, my back still hurts, so I'll have to go now. Goodbye, goodbye..."

After saying that, Shen Niannian hung up the phone.

The Duan family of three were left looking at each other in bewilderment.

Duan Sheng: "This child..."

Ding Yifen: "I think Niannian is quite lively and lovable."

Duan Ye smiled and said, "Yes, since your sister-in-law and brother have made arrangements, you can rest assured. As for the renovation, I know a top-notch renovation team that is also very responsible. I will have them come over."

Duan Sheng and Ding Yifen exchanged a glance.

"Does that mean you'll be doing all the work? Then your mother and I won't have to do anything?"

Duan Ye: "Of course we have to do it! We can't move, we can't choose furniture, right?"

Ding Yifen smiled and said, "That's true."

Seeing his parents finally smile, Duan Ye breathed a sigh of relief and rolled up his sleeves: "Then I'll help too. Our family is moving out tomorrow, so you can stay at my place until the new house is finished."

Duan Sheng waved his hand: "We're not going to Moon Bay. That's your and Qingyuan's new house. It wouldn't be appropriate for the two of us to stay there..."

Duan Ye said helplessly, "Then let's go to the one you guys bought for me. Isn't it quite big? And it's close to where my brother is too."

Ding Yifen: "Okay, let's pack up first."

So the whole family got busy.

Duan Ye and Ding Yifen packed all the kitchen utensils into boxes in the kitchen.

Duan Ye suddenly asked, "Mom, when Qingyuan's grandmother was hospitalized, did you tell others about it?"

Ding Yifen kept moving her hands and feet, but when she heard his question, she thought for a moment and said, "Yes, I did. When Mom went to the market to buy yam and pork rib stew, she chatted with them for a bit. They all said that the yam should be stewed until it's soft so that older people can chew it."

Halfway through her sentence, Ding Yifen's eyes suddenly darkened: "I went to the market with your Aunt Xie back then; she went to buy groceries too..."

Duan Ye didn't speak.

Ding Yifen also remained silent for a while.

"Really... how did it end up like this?"

After saying that, Ding Yifen's eyes reddened.

Duan Ye patted his mother on the shoulder: "It's okay, Mom will have better friends in the future."

Ding Yifen smiled and patted his hand back: "Okay, Mom is getting old and can't get involved in these things anymore. Let's stay away from them if we can."

"But... I'm sorry, if I hadn't gotten along so well with your Aunt Xie back then, you and Qingyuan wouldn't have ended up like this."

Duan Ye sighed: "Mom, it's all in the past. No one can be blamed for this."

Ding Yifen also didn't want to continue the topic: "Let's pack our things."

Watching his mother's busy figure, Duan Ye felt a pang of sadness: "Mom, after this period is over, I'll take you and Dad out for some fun to relax."

Ding Yifen didn't turn around, but smiled and said, "Okay, then Mom will wait."

The two chatted and laughed, and time passed relatively quickly.

"By the way, Mom, what happened to my sister-in-law?"

Speaking of this, Ding Yifen's expression suddenly turned grim: "I don't know what happened, but Niannian's car suddenly exploded. Luckily, the tire was flat at the time, and Chenchen wanted to eat barbecue, so your sister-in-law took Chenchen out of the car. Otherwise, the consequences... I don't even want to think about them."

"That's right, even so, your sister-in-law was still injured in the explosion."

"I heard that the driver was also seriously injured, but he's a man after all, so he's in better shape than your sister-in-law. Chenchen is alright, though. Your dad and I went to the hospital to see him early this morning, and we were terrified. Thankfully, he's not in any life-threatening danger."

explode?

Duan Ye's brow twitched; he began to suspect Nan Xing.

When someone goes crazy, they'll disregard everything else.
