Ye Zhiguo was at a loss with the old lady. He finally managed to appease her and stop mentioning going back to the countryside.
"Mom, I see you're feeling much better. Why don't we come down for dinner together?" Ye Zhiguo joked with a smile.
He knew from a young age that as long as the old lady could scold and hit, her health was definitely fine. But when she was too weak to even scold people like she was yesterday and the day before, Ye Zhiguo was really panicked.
Seeing that the old lady was in good spirits, Ye Zhiguo relaxed and started joking.
The old lady snorted coldly, "I'm not going to eat. I lose my appetite when I see your wife. I'm not hungry now, I'll eat later."
There were ten soup dumplings in a basket, with thin skin and plenty of filling. Pipi ate one, and the old lady ate nine, feeling only about 70% full. The old lady was really not hungry.
Ye Zhiguo didn't press her, and said with a smile, "Then Mom, you should rest first. I'll have Yan Hong cook some porridge for you to drink when you wake up."
The old woman's eyes flickered, but her expression remained unchanged. "Fine, tell her to put it on the stove. I'll drink it when I wake up."
After saying that, the old lady closed her eyes and kept waving her hands, urging Ye Zhiguo to leave quickly.
Ye Zhiguo smiled helplessly, gave Qingqing a few instructions, and then went downstairs to eat. Ye Qingqing followed him downstairs, her stomach growling with hunger.
There were many dishes on the table, including a plate of large shrimp, which must have been secretly hidden by the cafeteria at noon. There were about ten shrimp in total. Ye Hua was eating the shrimp with relish, and the creases on his face were particularly noticeable.
Shen Yanhong already knew it was Pipi's doing, but she didn't show anger like before. She pretended nothing had happened and even smiled as she served Xiaotong shrimp, looking like she was in a good mood.
"Is Mom feeling better? I cooked some vegetable porridge for her and kept it warm over a low flame. I'll have Qingqing take it up to her later." Shen Yanhong looked every bit the virtuous wife and loving mother, which pleased Ye Zhiguo greatly, making him even happier.
Ye Qingqing sneered inwardly, remaining silent and simply eating her food with her head down. She knew Shen Yanhong wouldn't dare to tamper with the food they were eating together, so she could eat with peace of mind.
"I don't think Mom has a problem with the change in environment; she probably just had an upset stomach. She took medicine and had an IV drip yesterday, and she's feeling much better today."
Halfway through the meal, Ye Zhiguo brought up the old lady. He had already taken the day off for tomorrow, planning to send her back to her hometown, but after her outburst, he didn't dare to do so anymore.
Although Shen Yanhong already knew, she still felt uncomfortable after hearing it, but she didn't show it on her face. She smiled gently and respectfully, "I was just guessing. It looks like it's just a case of acclimatization. It's good that it's not. With Mom at home, I feel much more relaxed. I don't even have to cook."
Ye Zhiguo was even more satisfied. He liked Shen Yanhong's obedience and her following his instructions throughout, unlike...
Thinking of that beautiful and arrogant woman, Ye Zhiguo felt a pang in his heart, and a sinister glint flashed in his eyes. No matter how much he liked that woman, as long as she stood in his way, he would still have to get rid of her!
A great man who wants to achieve great things cannot be bound by romantic feelings; he must be ruthless and decisive!
Hmph, as long as he has inexhaustible wealth, why would he worry about not having women?
Shen Yanhong caught a glimpse of Ye Zhiguo's expression, her heart growing even colder, but her smile became even more gentle. "However, I remember that Section Chief Wang suffered from acclimatization issues back then, it seems he had diarrhea intermittently for more than half a month!"
Ye Zhiguo's smile froze. He remembered that this was the reason why Section Chief Wang was not used to the local environment. Could his mother be like this too?
