Everyone was taken aback; it was extremely unexpected that Tang Yufen would actually come to visit.
"Is she alone?" the old lady asked, a cold smile playing on her lips.
Tang Yufen is quite bold; she actually dared to come to their door.
“There was also a young man,” Xiao Li replied.
Ye Qingqing raised an eyebrow in surprise. The young man must be Ye Yuanxiu, but Ye Xunmei didn't come. Could it be that Ye Xunmei didn't come to Pingjiang?
Surely not? The one who died was her own grandson. No matter how heartless Ye Xunmei is, she couldn't possibly not come to see her grandson one last time, could she?
“Grandma, the one following you must be Tang Yufen’s second grandson, Ye Yuanxiu. He’s in charge of the business here now,” Ye Qingqing said.
The old lady also found it strange that Ye Xunmei hadn't accompanied Tang Yufen the whole time; there were only two possibilities.
Firstly, his health wouldn't allow it; secondly, this couple was only superficially together and had already drifted apart.
"Mom, should we see her?" Sang Huaiyuan glanced at Gu Nianci and her son, whose faces were pale, and sighed softly.
"Why should we see them? Xiao Li, chase them away!" Gu Nianci shouted excitedly.
Now she is down on her luck, old and frail. She has heard that Tang Yufen is a wealthy lady in Hong Kong, living a life of luxury and elegance. She must be living a very respectable life. She doesn't want to see this woman, and she doesn't want Tang Yufen to see her current state of destitution.
Gu Nianci wanted to maintain her last shred of dignity.
After all, Tang Yufen used to be her personal maid, and she couldn't bring herself to do it.
Ye Mingcheng whispered words of comfort to his mother, his expression also very unpleasant. But he wanted to see her. When Ye Xunmei left, he was still a babbling child, and he couldn't even remember what Ye Xunmei looked like, let alone Tang Yufen.
He wanted to see this vicious woman clearly, remember her, and avenge his mother in the future.
The old lady said to Xiao Li, "Let them in!"
Why can't I see him?
If Tang Yufen dares to come, she dares to meet her!
“Cousin…” Gu Nianci looked at the old lady with dissatisfaction.
"They're the ones who did wrong, why are you hiding? Cheer up and don't lose face!" the old lady scolded.
"I...I'd better go upstairs." Gu Nianci felt bitter inside. She got up to go upstairs, but the old lady was exasperated and glared at her, scolding, "Go upstairs? Sit down!"
Gu Nianci trembled, not daring to disobey, and sat down reluctantly with a wronged expression.
Ye Qingqing saw through her thoughts and comforted her, "Tang Yufen must be very sad because her grandson died. She won't be in a good state. Grandma, you look better than her now."
When Gu Nianci was selling balut, she was indeed very old, but when she returned to the old lady's place, she was relaxed, well-nourished, and her complexion improved a lot. Her former beauty was also restored to some extent. In addition, with her natural temperament, she could be a beautiful old lady with a little dressing up, definitely not inferior to Tang Yufen.
Ye Qingqing's words reassured Gu Nianci somewhat, and she even smiled slightly. The old lady glared at her, annoyed. Even at a time like this, she was still getting hung up on such a trivial matter. Her cousin really could never grasp the important thing.
At the main entrance, Tang Yufen, dressed in a black cheongsam, looked around at the scenery with nostalgia. She had lived here for more than ten years and was surprised that there hadn't been much change. It was still pretty much the same as before.
Tang Yufen now looks even worse. Her hair is gray, her face is covered with wrinkles, and the veins on the back of her thin hands are prominent. She doesn't wear any makeup or jewelry, and all traces of her former elegance and grace are gone.
Ye Yuanxiu looked at his grandmother in confusion, wondering why she didn't dress up more presentably since she was visiting her enemy.
