As Ye's mother stopped crying, the living room fell into silence, waiting for Tang Jingyuan to make a decision.
Mother Ye looked at Tang Jingyuan with hope. After a while, Tang Jingyuan bent down and helped the man up. Mother Ye's lips trembled with excitement. She finally saw some hope.
Did he agree to this?
The thin lips moved slightly, and the cold voice once again pushed Ye's mother into the abyss of despair.
"It's getting dark. I'll arrange for a driver to take you away."
Ye's mother didn't get a nod from Tang Jingyuan, but was ordered to leave. Ye's mother couldn't understand it. They grew up together, could Tang Jingyuan really watch his daughter commit suicide and do nothing?
She didn't believe that Tang Jingyuan would be so heartless!
She pulled her hand away: "Jingyuan, are you really so cruel as to watch Lingfei commit suicide and leave her alone? I promise, this is just the last time. Even if you want to make that girl give up, you should tell her in person."
"Aunt Ye, you know my temper. I have done my best to allow her to return to the Ye family."
Mother Ye opened her mouth, and many words came to her lips, but when she met Tang Jingyuan's cold eyes, she swallowed them back.
She turned around abruptly and suddenly grabbed Lu Anning's hands tightly.
"An Ning, you're a good girl. I know you wouldn't be so cruel. That's a life! The doctor said if it got any deeper, she wouldn't be saved. Auntie, please, help me one last time!"
Mother Ye cried so hard that she refused to let go of her hands.
Seeing the same trick twice, Lu Anning couldn't help but feel bored. It seemed that the Ye family regarded her as a saint.
She forcibly pulled her hand away and said expressionlessly, "Auntie, I'm sorry to disappoint you. I'm not as good as you think. I can't keep pleading for a woman who covets my husband. Ye Lingfei and I have no relationship at all. Her existence may even threaten my marriage. Why should I help her?"
Ye's mother was so shocked by Lu Anning's words that she forgot to cry for a moment.
Lu Anning asked again: "If you were me, would you help a woman who is trying to kill herself just to pester Uncle Ye?"
Mother Ye looked at Lu An Ning and was speechless for a moment.
"If you can't do it yourself, then don't embarrass me. Jing Yuan and I won't go to see her. Whether Ye Lingfei is dead or alive, it has nothing to do with us. You don't have to come to us again. If you have this time, you might as well take care of her."
Mother Ye never expected that the quiet little girl would speak so bluntly and directly to the point, leaving her speechless.
She had come here at the cost of her dignity, but now, after being lectured by two juniors, she had no face to stay any longer. She nodded slightly, sighed deeply, and then turned and left.
Today, even if the old man spoke personally, Tang Jingyuan didn't want to go see Ye Lingfei.
Both of them knew very well that if they left, they would be entangled in endless affairs in the future, so it would be better not to meet.
Worried that the Ye family would continue to harass him, Tang Jingyuan specifically instructed the housekeeper that if anyone from the Ye family came again, no matter how loudly they cried, he should ignore them.
Since when did people become able to run wild in front of the Tang family's door?
With such a habit, anyone with trivial matters will come to the door of the old house to make a fuss. How can the old man rest in peace?
Fortunately, the Ye family did not show up again in the next few days, and did not even make a phone call. It seemed that they had calmed down.
Tang Yanguang returned from Mount Wutai, but he did not come directly to the old house to see the old man.
When the old man received a call from Tang Qizon, he just responded lightly and didn't seem to have much expectation for this grandson.
"It doesn't matter when you come to see me. Just don't cause any more trouble when you're back."
The old man's words were full of warnings to Tang Qizon's family. Lu Anning didn't know how Tang Qizon would respond over the phone. He hung up the phone after a few words and continued playing chess with Tang Jingyuan.
Tang Jingyuan didn't ask about Tang Yanguang. The old man put down the black piece and looked back at Lu Anning.
Lu Anning's hand was stunned as she was making tea. With just one glance, she felt that the old man seemed to know everything.
"Grandpa, have some tea."
"My dear! I know you two have been hiding a lot of things from me. Don't think that I don't know anything just because I live in this big yard every day. I know exactly what these little guys under my name have done outside."
Lu Anning's heart tightened, and he looked up to meet the old man's majestic gaze. His seemingly smiling face revealed a hint of hostility, which made people feel scared.
For a moment, a layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on Lu Anning's palms.
The old man knew everything? He wouldn't come back to settle the score with me because of Tang Yanguang's matter, would he?
After all, Tang Yanguang is a descendant of the Tang family.
Lu Anning held his breath and didn't respond. After a while, the old man chuckled, and the tense atmosphere instantly dissipated.
"Girl, relax. I've got your back, no one can do anything to you. Don't worry!"
Lu Anning breathed a sigh of relief. Unexpectedly, the old man was actually comforting him.
"Your cousin is already disabled, but Grandpa still hopes that the matter can be put behind us. I am old now, and I only hope that our family will be harmonious and everything will be prosperous!"
These words were spoken to Tang Jingyuan. After a while, Tang Jingyuan took the tea handed to him by the old man with both hands and responded.
“The birthday star is the greatest!”
Three days later, Tang Qizon and his wife brought Tang Yanguang to the old house to visit the old man, and also dropped a bombshell on everyone.
Tang Yanguang is getting married to Ye Lingfei!
