Everyone looked over when they heard her voice, and when they learned that their favorite grandson had returned, Grandpa Han and Grandma Han craned their necks and looked on expectantly.
Han Yunyue did call home before the Lunar New Year, saying that the store was too busy this year and he couldn't buy a plane ticket home, so he wouldn't be coming back.
Although disappointed, Han Shiyong and Yu Xiuping didn't say anything. In the past two years, Yu Xiuping had made a fuss about her son's marriage several times, but Han Yunyue never gave in. Not only did he stay in another city and refuse to come home, but he also often didn't answer her and Han Shiyong's calls. Yu Xiuping didn't want to become estranged from her son because of this. Her son was already living alone in another city and rarely saw his parents. Now that he wouldn't even answer her calls, how could she bear it?
Over time, she stopped insisting. Her child had grown up and she couldn't control him anymore. Han Yunyue was already twenty-nine, almost thirty, and just wouldn't listen to her as his mother. There was nothing she could do.
I thought I wouldn't be able to reunite with my son for the Lunar New Year this year, but who would have thought he would suddenly come back?
Her son still cared about his parents. Yu Xiuping thought sweetly to herself.
Han Yunyue was carrying bags of gifts, which Yu Xiuping quickly took and put away. When she turned around, she found that her son was not alone; there was someone following behind him.
However, she didn't get the daughter-in-law she had imagined; instead, she got a tall, burly man.
"What is this?" Yu Xiuping was a little confused.
"Let's go inside and talk," Han Yunyue said, then gestured for the people behind him to change their shoes.
As soon as the two entered the hall, everyone in the room turned to look at them. Tang Xiaoxiao's pupils contracted when she saw the man following behind Han Yunyue.
Others didn't know what was going on and at most assumed that the young man was Han Yunyue's friend. Although it was a bit strange that he came to visit on the first day of the Lunar New Year and that he wasn't a close relative or friend, everyone accepted the visitor's invitation and didn't think much of it.
However, Tang Xiaoxiao, who was familiar with Han Yunyue's sexual orientation, couldn't think of it that simply.
Could it really be...?
Tang Xiaoxiao glanced nervously at Grandpa Han, Grandma Han, and all the elders in the room.
The Han family is probably going to have an earthquake today...
As expected, after bowing to the elders and paying his respects, Han Yunyue took a deep breath, looked at his father Han Shiyong and Grandpa Han, and pulled the young man over, saying, "Let me introduce you, this is my boyfriend, Ye Yang."
The young man smiled, but his unease was not hard to see. He bowed to the crowd.
The room was deathly silent.
The elders may not have noticed anything wrong with his way of addressing people, but they could see the inappropriateness in his eyes.
Han Yunyue and Ye Yang clasped hands, their posture... it didn't look like the intimacy between friends or brothers at all.
After a long silence, Yu Xiuping spoke tremulously, "Son... what nonsense are you talking about? A friend is a friend, why call him a boyfriend... you don't need to introduce male friends like that..."
“Mom, I’m not wrong, he’s my boyfriend.” Han Yunyue’s voice wasn’t loud, but her tone was very firm: “He’s the person I love.”
Yu Xiuping...
She felt old.
There might be something wrong with your ears.
My mind is probably not quite clear anymore.
Otherwise, why would she barely understand what her son was saying, even with his mouth opening and closing...?
While she was questioning the meaning of life, everyone else heard it clearly.
"You bastard!" Han Shiyong shouted, raising his hand to slap Han Yunyue across the face.
Han Yunyue stared at his father without blinking, his face full of stubbornness.
