Several days passed in the blink of an eye.
That afternoon, Ye Nian'an sat alone under the plum tree in the courtyard, holding a delicate porcelain cup and sipping hot coffee.
The university has already started its holiday break, and Ye Xiang and Ye Yao are vying to take care of the baby so that Ye Nian'an can get some rest.
She said that she had worked so hard these past few days taking care of the baby and preparing meals for so many people.
It was their turn to contribute as maternal grandfathers and maternal uncles.
Ye Nian'an covered her mouth and chuckled secretly.
Cooking is actually not that difficult. There are mountains of rice, flour, oil and salt in the space. You can make whatever you want to eat just by thinking about it, and it will taste delicious. She is just responsible for sending it out.
However, the secret to this amazing ability can't be revealed. Being pampered and spoiled occasionally is quite comfortable; enjoy this hard-won leisure time!
These coffee beans were delivered by Xu Yao, who said they were a hot commodity overseas and that many foreigners liked to drink them to stay alert.
If you find it too bitter, you can add some creamer and syrup to adjust it to your liking.
If you like, Xu Yao will send over more.
Chi Xinyao had tried it, but preferred tea.
Jin Xiangyu and Chu Xin'er loved it dearly, after all, it was a rare item, and its rich fragrance lingered around their noses for a long time.
After learning that Chu Xin'er liked coffee, Song Yan started sending imported coffee beans home like they were free.
Ye Nian'an couldn't help but tease Chu Xin'er, saying that having a domineering CEO as a husband must be awesome!
The latter blushed from being amused.
Ye Nian'an, being someone reborn close to the millennium, has a strong ability to accept coffee.
I remember back then, Shen Xiang, Zhang Qingqing, and Shi Fangfang drank it every day, saying that drinking coffee was good for beauty and skin, and that it was a hot commodity abroad. They showed it off in front of me every day.
She remembered that face clearly until her death.
These days, I'm the one who can leisurely bask in the sun and drink coffee.
Those people are probably squatting in front of the blackened stove, eating cornbread in the northwest wind.
Hehe~
Rebirth is so amazing!
Ye Nian'an flipped through "How the Steel Was Tempered," sunlight filtering through the leaves and falling warmly on the pages.
She took a sip of coffee, the slightly bittersweet taste on her tongue, and happily squinted her eyes.
But just then, a series of urgent knocks on the door shattered the peace—
Who is it?
Ye Nian'an closed the book, her eyebrows slightly raised.
Could it be that Ye Xiang and the others have brought the baby back?
Logically, it shouldn't be that fast.
Ye Nian'an put down her coffee cup, pulled her light coat tighter around her, and slowly walked to the courtyard gate.
As soon as the door latch was pulled open, Zhao Jiadi was seen standing at the bottom of the steps with his neck hunched over.
"Why are you here again?"
Ye Nian'an's voice instantly turned cold, and a layer of frost settled between her brows and eyes, as if even glancing at him would be a waste.
In reality, what I was thinking was...
The Zhao family is quite bold; after going through so much, they still dare to approach her!
That's interesting, really interesting.
Originally, it was thought that after this lesson, and with the case of Old Li settled after these days, the Zhao family would not come again.
On the contrary, the Gu family seemed to have disappeared these days, leaving Gu Tao to suffer in the police station, which surprised her somewhat.
After all, the Gu family and the Song family are related. Even if they don't care about the relationship between the two families, they should at least try to make some effort to influence things.
If we remain inactive at this time, people will likely gossip about us.
In Ye Nian'an's opinion, the Gu family should have gone to their door with generous gifts to beg for forgiveness, even if it meant acting like a subservient grandson...
That way, she could smoothly go to the Gu family and pretend to "move" some things back, which would also be a way of collecting some interest.
However, it's not bad that the Zhao family came even though the Gu family didn't.
This presented Ye Nian'an with an incredible opportunity...
Then I can go to their house and rob them of everything!
These days have been too uneventful, so it's time to find some fun and stretch my muscles.
"Yes...it's like this...Comrade Ye Nian'an, would it be convenient for you to come in and have a word with me in private?"
Zhao Jiadi quickly put on a fawning smile: "I came alone this time, there's no one else. It'll just be a few words, so it won't take up your time."
"no."
Ye Nian'an crossed her arms and blocked the doorway: "Say what you have to say here. Not just anyone can come in here."
Zhao Jiadi's face stiffened. He glanced around and, after confirming that no one was around, lowered his voice.
"Yes... It's my matriarch. She'd like to invite you to the Zhao residence. She says she has something important to discuss with you, the one we agreed on last time. Have you forgotten?"
"I'll go alone?"
Ye Nian'an suddenly curved her lips into a smile, but the smile was like ice shards, chilling people to the bone: "Your Zhao family was thinking of stealing my baby's luck a few days ago, and now you're trying to trick me and find another way to control me?"
"My personal freedom is very precious, I dare not gamble."
"Oh my God! Comrade Ye Nian'an, please don't think like that!"
Zhao Jiadi turned pale with fright and waved his hands repeatedly: "You are Chief Chu's wife, a woman of noble status. If anything were to happen to you in our house, not only would the old lady be in danger, but I would also lose my life! We wouldn't dare to do that even if we had a hundred lives!"
If Zhao Shikai hadn't been the old lady's son... After he was arrested, the old lady spent her days in tears, and they would never have taken this risky step. Zhao Jiadi was also heartbroken to see this.
They wouldn't take such a risk, ignoring everyone's opposition, in an attempt to find a glimmer of hope for him!
"It's not that I can't go if I want to."
