Even Ningning noticed that there was something unusual in the atmosphere between Mom and Dad. Usually, Mom and Dad always had endless things to talk about during meals, but today, Mom didn't say anything and Dad kept his head down.
"Ningning, go play with Zhao Yuanqi for a while. Mom will come to find you in half an hour!" After dinner, Jiang Yue sent Ningning out.
"Is Mom going to quarrel with Dad?" Ningning was a little sensitive.
Jiang Yue laughed, "How could that be!"
Ning Ning looked at Gu Ye seriously and warned him, "Dad, you can't bully Mom, or I will run away from home with Mom!"
Gu Ye was distracted, but when he heard Ning Ning's words, his eyes softened, "Don't worry, Dad won't bully Mom!"
"Wait!" Seeing Ningning was about to run, Jiang Yue hurriedly called her back, grabbed a handful of chestnuts from the stove and stuffed them into Ningning's pockets, filling both pockets. "Take it with you to eat with Zhao Yuanqi and the others."
These are the sugar-roasted chestnuts made by Jiang Yue herself. The chestnuts are all open and are much sweeter than those baked directly in the oven.
As soon as Ningning left, the kitchen became quiet.
Jiang Yue looked at Gu Ye and said, "Tell me, who are those three people?"
Gu Ye avoided the question and said, "I'll wash the dishes first!"
Jiang Yue let out a breath. The more Gu Ye acted like this, the more it showed that what Gu Ye wanted to say was something important. Jiang Yue felt very uneasy, but she still waited patiently until Gu Ye came back after washing the dishes.
"Are those two old people Ningning's grandparents?"
As soon as Gu Ye entered the kitchen, he heard Jiang Yue's deep voice.
Even though Gu Ye was always calm and composed and would not change his expression even when faced with a mountain collapsing in front of him, when he heard Jiang Yue's words unexpectedly, his big hand holding the bowl still trembled.
But Gu Ye was not very surprised. Jiang Yue was very smart and she would guess it was a matter of time!
Gu Ye did not answer, but just paused for a moment, then lowered his eyes and silently put the washed dishes into the cupboard.
So this is the default?
"Are they here to see Ningning?" Jiang Yue had a vague premonition when she saw the old couple getting so excited when they saw Ningning.
Later, Ningning called grandpa and grandma, and the old couple almost burst into tears on the spot.
If it were just a stranger, it would be impossible to have such intense emotions.
So Jiang Yue guessed, could the old couple be Ningning's grandparents?
"Yeah." Gu Ye responded.
"Then why are you unhappy?" Jiang Yue was puzzled by Gu Ye's reaction. Logically speaking, Gu Ye and Squad Leader Shi had such a good relationship. Since the old couple were Squad Leader Shi's parents, Gu Ye should be happy to see them.
However, when Jiang Yue saw Gu Ye picking up Squad Leader Shi's parents outside the regiment office building in the afternoon, she noticed that he did not seem to be in a very good mood.
"It's not that I'm unhappy—" Gu Ye moved the small table to the corner.
"Jiang Yue, I have something to discuss with you." Gu Ye pulled a small stool and sat down, motioning Jiang Yue to sit down as well.
"You say!" Jiang Yue and Gu Ye sat face to face, and her beautiful almond eyes stared at his handsome face.
"They really came here to see Ningning this time!" Gu Ye pondered for a moment, as if he was considering how to continue.
"Then what?" Jiang Yue frowned, not understanding what had happened that made Gu Ye so hesitant.
But speaking of it, it has been more than two years since Gu Ye adopted Ningning, and the Shi family has never visited once, never written a letter, and never asked about her, as if they didn't have this granddaughter. Why did they suddenly remember to visit Ningning at this time?
Jiang Yue thought to herself, could it be that this is why Gu Ye is unhappy?
After all, he is really good to Ningning. For Ningning, he is even willing to give up having his own children!
So it is normal for Gu Ye to be unhappy when Ningning is treated like this by the Shi family.
"Uncle and aunt said that Squad Leader Shi's eldest brother, the one who came with us today, is getting married."
Jiang Yue was confused, "Isn't that a good thing?"
Gu Ye's brows were knitted together at this time, and he cursed for the first time when talking to Jiang Yue, "Bullshit!"
Jiang Yue: “…”
"Sorry!" Gu Ye immediately realized that his emotions were out of control. He reached out and twisted his eyebrows, looking annoyed.
"Gu Ye, can't you just make your words clear at once? Do you have to make me anxious to death?" Jiang Yue couldn't bear it any longer when she saw Gu Ye's conflicted look.
Jiang Yue had been full of doubts since she saw Gu Ye accompanying the three people from the Shi family in the afternoon. She had been able to endure it until now, which really showed that she had extraordinary patience.
Gu Ye quickly raised his eyes to look at Jiang Yue, his eyes were heavy and his voice was even heavier: "The monitor's brother is marrying Ning Ning's mother!"
Jiang Yue: “…………”
Now she was also confused.
"Wait, I remember you said that Ningning's mother - her biological mother, had problems and was sent to a mental hospital, right?" Jiang Yue pointed to her head.
The reason why Jiang Yue paused and added the words Ningning's biological mother was because she had to distinguish herself. She had already regarded herself as Ningning's mother.
In fact, Jiang Yue didn't know much about Ningning's biological parents' family affairs. She only knew that Ningning's biological father died before Ningning was born and Ningning was a posthumous child.
Ningning's mother was so sad that she gave birth to Ningning prematurely. Right after she gave birth, her family took her back home and forced her to get married. Ningning's mother was traumatized and had mental problems, and she has been kept in a mental hospital.
"Brother Shi said that my sister-in-law's condition has improved a lot in the past six months, and she was discharged from the hospital and went home a few months ago." Gu Ye frowned as he spoke.
