Tuanzi felt that her mother was a little depressed tonight, and she wanted to sing to cheer her up, but her mother refused.

Although Ye Wanying had never personally met that old man Hong, based on her memories and what Xiaoyu had told her, old man Hong was indeed a very good person.

The little man glanced at it and said: "Hey, why is it still like this?"

Until Gao Dan came in from outside:

“There’s a phone call, it’s Aunt Zheng calling.”

This news finally brought Ye Wanying back to her senses:

"Aunt Zheng?"

"Um."

......

It was a few minutes later that the mother and daughter finally got on the phone.

"Aunt Zheng."

On the other end of the phone, Ling Jin was nestled beside her son, Xiao Jiu. The mother and son should be staying at a hotel, but Ye Yutang was nowhere to be seen in the room.

Upon hearing her daughter's voice, Ling Jin quickly spoke up:

"Hey, Yingying, how's everything at home these past few days?"

"It's going well. How are things in H Province?"

This time, the voice on the other end of the phone was Xiao Jiu's:

"Aunt Yingying, there's a Five Rams Statue in H Province. It's said to be very, very old and a real treasure. My mom and I went to see it today and even took some pictures. I'll show them to you next time, Aunt Yingying."

Hearing Xiao Jiu's excited chatter, Ye Wanying's previously gloomy mood improved considerably.

"Okay, but is it just you and your mother going? Where's your Uncle Ye?"

Forehead....

Upon hearing this question, Xiao Jiu on the other end paused noticeably, then uttered a single word:

"Um!"

A simple "hmm" is enough to say a lot.

Ye Wanying burst into laughter, while Ling Jin, who had clearly overheard his daughter and son's conversation, blushed involuntarily.

"Cough, cough cough cough..."

The coughing naturally carried over to the other end of the phone, and Ye Wanying and Xiao Jiu continued their conversation for a few more minutes:

"Xiao Jiu, can Aunt Yingying talk to your mother about something?"

"Okay, sure."

Xiao Jiu handed the phone to Ling Jin:

"Mom, Aunt Yingying has something to tell you."

Ling Jin answered the phone, while Xiao Jiu had already run off to watch TV.

“Sakura.”

“Aunt Zheng, since you’ve already figured it out, then don’t dwell on it anymore. Chairman Ye is a good person, and now Grandpa Ye has agreed as well. Let’s get things done quickly, otherwise, look at how we address each other, it’ll all be a mess. Let Xiao Jiu call me sister properly.”

At first, Xiao Jiu called her "sister," but after returning to the capital, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he changed his address to "Aunt Yingying." He is clearly the uncle, but his son has to call Xiao Jiu "brother." Isn't this a complete mess?

"Alright, stop joking around, let's get down to business."

"Okay, everything's fine here. We plan to head to the capital first tomorrow, and then return to City B."

Ye Wanying reported her upcoming itinerary to her mother, Ling Jin, who listened attentively. After her daughter finished speaking, Ling Jin continued:

"Why don't you come to H Province before you return to B City from the capital?"

Um?

Something's off about my mother's tone.

"What happened in H province? What's going on?"

"Although your father didn't say anything, I could tell that his face hadn't lit up in the past few days. He's got something on his mind. He was perfectly fine before, but after he came to H province and went somewhere, he became like this."

So, Mom, you're not even married yet, and you're already this worried about my dad?

Ye Wanying felt that things might not be as difficult as her biological mother thought, but she still agreed. Since her biological mother had asked, she might as well go to H Province.
