Zhang Ma had just come out of the kitchen with several cups of tea when she saw Ye Zhizhou's posture and was a little confused.
"Xiao Zhou, it's alright. These are Grandma Ye's family members. They just found Grandma Ye and came today to take her back home."
Ye Zhizhou thought she was hallucinating. She knew all of Grandma Ye's family; they couldn't possibly be that wealthy. Otherwise, she wouldn't have endured more than ten years of hardship with Grandma Ye.
“Zhang Ma, are you mistaken? Grandma basically doesn’t have any reliable relatives left.”
Seeing Zhang Ma's respectful attitude towards Ye Zhizhou, the scarred man immediately stood up and walked towards Ye Zhizhou.
Seeing this, Qin Xuan stood in front of Ye Zhizhou, fearing that the man might do something rash.
"You must be the little girl my mother adopted. Hello, my name is Liao Ting, I am Ye Xiufang's only son, and I am now the chairman of the largest food company in J country."
He extended his hand to Ye Zhizhou, a clear smile on his face.
Despite his efforts, Ye Zhizhou still felt that his smile, combined with his scar, gave him the look of a mafia boss.
Seeing that he meant no harm, Qin Xuan stepped aside, while Ye Zhizhou was still in shock.
This middle-aged man with the scarred face is actually Grandma Ye's son. Wasn't Grandma Ye always living alone?
"You... hello, I am Ye Zhizhou. You said you are Grandma's son, but Grandma never married, and you were not by her side for the past few decades. What's going on?"
Although the other party seemed very impressive, Ye Zhizhou still wanted to ask more questions since the matter involved Grandma Ye's family.
"You all sit down and talk first. The old man has gone to play cards and won't be back for a while."
Seeing that they were all standing at the door, Zhang Ma reminded them to sit down on the sofa in the living room to discuss the issue.
After sitting down, Liao Ting frowned and explained the events of that year to Ye Zhizhou.
It turns out that when Ye Xiufang was young, she fell in love with her teacher, who was also Liao Ting's father. She was deceived by Liao Ting's father and thought that she had met her true love, and she became pregnant by accident.
Unexpectedly, the teacher changed his mind, decisively abandoned Ye Xiufang, and even changed jobs and left Ning City.
After giving birth, Ye Xiufang intended to raise the child herself, but the child was stolen by the teacher's family.
The teacher's identity is not simple. He is actually from a wealthy family in J country. Because there is no one in the family who can inherit the family business, he did not hesitate to send someone to secretly take Ye Xiufang away after learning that she had given birth to the Liao family's bloodline.
More than forty years have passed in the blink of an eye. Ye Xiufang had long given up looking for her child. However, the Liao family's nanny was terminally ill and told Liao Ting the truth before she died.
Liao Ting then rushed over from J country to find his mother.
After hearing all this, Ye Zhizhou took a few minutes to process the amount of information.
"Uncle Liao, is your father still alive?"
She only cared about one thing: whether the scumbag was still alive. He abandoned Ye Xiufang and her son, probably because he had someone better to choose from.
The scar on Liao Ting's face changed with his expression. He said regretfully, "He is no longer alive. Not long after he separated from my mother, he returned to J country and died of illness. He knew he wouldn't live much longer, so he didn't want to be a burden to my mother."
Ye Zhizhou fell silent. So that's what happened. She felt even more sorry for Grandma Ye.
Her beloved died so young, and the two were never together. If Liao Ting hadn't come looking for her, Ye Xiufang probably would never have known the truth in her life.
"Uncle Liao, how do you plan to tell Grandma Ye about these things? She's getting old and her health isn't as good as it used to be. I'm worried that if you tell her everything at once, she won't be able to accept it."
Ye Xiufang had suffered for the first half of her life, and her health had finally improved after staying at the Ye residence for so long. She didn't want Ye Xiufang's health to be affected.
Liao Ting sighed, "This is also something that's worrying me. You and my mother spend the most time together, could you help me out?"
Hearing him say that, Ye Zhizhou suddenly thought of something, "Uncle Liao, is that Weibo post from Jingyang Daily related to you?"
The topic suddenly changed, and Liao Ting was taken aback. "You mean that? We were investigating your case at the time, and when I saw you were in trouble, I casually mentioned it to my old friend. He helped without hesitation. How was it? Pretty good, right?"
Ye Zhizhou pursed her lips. She had guessed right; the person who helped her really was Liao Ting.
Although it was a bit of a surprise, I really have to thank Liao Ting.
"Thank you, Uncle Liao. I will think it over and explain this to Grandma. She has a very good temper, but I don't know what her attitude will be in this matter."
Seeing how insightful she was, Liao Ting felt a great weight lifted from his shoulders.
"It's okay, you can choose a time to tell her, I will wait patiently, and I won't show up until then."
He originally intended to meet Ye Xiufang directly, but unfortunately, she wasn't home today.
However, he had anticipated that Ye Zhizhou would be there today, since Ye Zhizhou and Ye Xiufang had lived together for so long, so he changed his plans on the spot.
Ye Zhizhou agreed, and Liao Ting left the Ye residence not long after, because she didn't know when Ye Xiufang would return and was worried about running into her.
After they left, Ye Zhizhou went upstairs to put away his luggage and went to see the cats with Qin Xuan.
"Are you really determined to help him?"
While petting the cat, Qin Xuan couldn't help but ask.
Ye Zhizhou nodded, "Grandma Ye has suffered too much in her life. If she had a biological son, her life would be more comfortable."
Qin Xuan reminded her, "Once they reunite, Grandma Ye will leave you and return to J country."
Ye Zhizhou did not reply to Qin Xuan immediately this time.
She had actually thought about this issue before agreeing to Liao Ting's request, as Ye Xiufang didn't have any relatives in Ning City.
However, Ye Zhizhou respected Ye Xiufang's own choice more than separating from Grandma Ye.
"If Grandma Ye really wants to leave, I will support her."
Seeing that she had figured it out, Qin Xuan stopped talking and quietly petted the cat.
The program had come to an end, and new resources were still being negotiated. Ye Zhizhou scrolled through his phone idly.
Liang Tian sent her a message with a professionally edited photo of her at the airport today.
"You're in good shape. By the way, your boyfriend is perfect for the entertainment industry. I've added him as a friend. Tell him to accept the request quickly. I want to arrange his debut."
Ye Zhizhou sensed a significant gap between herself and Boss Qin. Liang Tian actually took the initiative to ask Qin Xuan to add her, which shows that Qin Xuan's value as an artist is truly high.
After reminding Qin Xuan, she opened each of the meticulously edited photos and looked at them carefully.
The graphic designer didn't go too far with the editing; the main focus was on naturalness, preserving her original features.
Qin Xuan's actions in protecting her were very clear, and he looked like a male lead in a Korean drama.
"Well done."
As she was looking, Qin Xuan's voice rang out from above.
