Ye Zhizhou smiled and casually sent him the photo.
"Sister Liang Tian saw this photo and thought you were too good-looking, so she strongly urged you to debut."
"If I were to debut, I think I could only accept acting at most; singing and dancing would be out of the question."
Qin Xuan sat back down in his seat, taking the matter to heart and seriously considering his future direction.
Ye Zhizhou nodded, "Sure, I'll ask Sister Liang Tian to find you a teacher."
Qin Xuan did not refute it; he was still a novice when it came to acting.
That evening, Zhang Ma cooked a large table of dishes to celebrate Grandma Ye being found by her biological son.
During the meal, Ye Zhizhou told Ye Xiufang about it.
After hearing this, Ye Xiufang was stunned for a moment, then put down her chopsticks and went into her room, saying she needed to think about it carefully.
"Xiao Zhou, Grandma wouldn't not want to acknowledge her son, would she?"
Aunt Zhang asked worriedly from the side. Having spent so much time with Grandma Ye, she had developed feelings for her and didn't want Grandma Ye to have any regrets in her life.
Ye Zhizhou pursed her lips. She noticed that Ye Xiufang had eaten quite a bit, which meant that she had been in a good mood earlier.
"Grandma isn't that kind of person. She probably just can't accept that Uncle Liao's father left her because he was sick."
If he really was a heartless man, that would be fine, at least Ye Xiufang wouldn't hold a grudge against him.
But he wasn't a heartless man.
Ye Zhizhou quickly finished his meal, helped Zhang Ma clear the dishes, and knocked on Ye Xiufang's door. After a short while, Ye Xiufang opened the door for him.
Whether it was Ye Zhizhou's imagination or not, she seemed to see tear stains on Ye Xiufang's face.
Sitting in a chair in Ye Xiufang's room, Ye Zhizhou comforted her.
"Grandma, Uncle Liao's father was a good man, but that's all in the past. We should cherish the present. You and Uncle Liao have been separated for so long, it's time for you to reunite."
Ye Xiufang smiled bitterly, her face covered in wrinkles. "I misunderstood him. I should have gone with him back then. Maybe I could have stayed with him until the end."
She really can't let him go. He was her teacher, then her lover, and now he's her regret.
Ye Zhizhou hugged her thin shoulders and said gently, "Grandma, you are both people who support each other. What needs to be let go should be let go. Let's give Uncle Liao some time."
Ye Xiufang remained silent for a long time before nodding. In fact, the reason she chose not to remarry back then was twofold: first, she was heartbroken, and second, she had invested a lot of feelings in Liao Ting's father and would never be attracted to anyone else again.
That evening, after putting Grandma Ye to bed, Ye Zhizhou took out his phone and sent a message to Liao Ting.
[Ye Zhizhou: Uncle Liao, Grandma agreed, you can come directly tomorrow.]
[Liao Ting: Zhouzhou is amazing! Uncle Liao, can I adopt you as my goddaughter? I only have a bunch of naughty boys, and all they do is make me angry.]
Ye Zhizhou: ...
If she recognizes Liao Ting as her godfather, then she'll have a new brother?
After careful consideration, Ye Zhizhou decided to decline the offer for now and discuss it later.
The next day, in order to welcome her biological son, Ye Xiufang got up early and dressed herself up. She specially changed into the new clothes that Ye Zhizhou had bought for her. Ye Zhizhou put on light makeup for her, and she looked radiant.
At noon, Liao Ting visited alone, dressed in completely different clothes than yesterday.
The same suit, just a different hairstyle, completely changed his demeanor, making him look much more serious.
"Mom, it's your son, Liao Ting!"
As soon as he entered the living room, he saw Ye Xiufang. He had specifically looked at Ye Xiufang's photo when he had people investigate, so he was able to recognize her immediately.
"Are you really my son?"
Looking at Liao Ting's face, which bore a resemblance to his father's, Ye Xiufang felt as if she were seeing the person she once loved most. The only difference was that Liao Ting had a very obvious scar on his face, which was completely different from his father's refined and gentle image.
"Mom, it really is me. Look at my eyebrows and eyes, they look just like yours."
Liao Tingping was usually a burly man, but when he was in front of Ye Xiufang, his expression immediately softened, giving people the impression that he had two sides.
Ye Zhizhou and Zhang Ma quietly left the living room to make room for them to talk. The mother and son had not seen each other for many years and had a lot to say, but they might feel embarrassed to say it with outsiders present.
About ten minutes later, Liao Ting went upstairs to call them down for dinner.
At the dinner table, Liao Ting kept putting food on Ye Xiufang's plate to show his respect for his mother.
"Mom, I want to adopt Xiaozhou as my goddaughter, but she refused. Could you please put in a good word for me?"
Once Liao Ting had this idea, she couldn't stop herself from pursuing it.
Firstly, he didn't have a daughter, and secondly, Ye Zhizhou had helped him a lot this time.
Ye Xiufang looked at her son with a smile, then at Ye Zhizhou.
“Ting’er, Xiao Zhou has her own ideas, so don’t make things difficult for her. By the way, haven’t you met Huai Bin yet? He’s Xiao Zhou’s father. I’m so grateful to them for taking care of me these days, otherwise my good-for-nothing nephew would have beaten me to death.”
Upon hearing that someone dared to bully his mother, Liao Ting immediately became anxious and asked who his nephew was.
Ye Zhizhou explained on Ye Xiufang's behalf, "Liang Hu is still in prison, Uncle Liao, don't worry."
Liao Ting was relieved and then asked, "When will your father be back? I'd like to meet him. Maybe our two families can cooperate. He's been taking care of my mother for so long, I have to express my gratitude to him."
Ye Huaibin had actually returned these past two days, but he came back quite late, so Liao Ting didn't get to meet him.
"Uncle Liao, I'll tell my dad when he gets back. But there's no need for thanks. If it weren't for Grandma Ye taking me in, I wouldn't be able to grow up like this. It's all thanks to Grandma Ye's kindness."
Ye Zhizhou explained on Ye Huaibin's behalf, but Liao Ting felt it was still necessary to meet. Ye Zhizhou agreed to arrange a time after Ye Huaibin returned.
After finishing their meal, Liao Ting showed no intention of leaving and stayed with Grandma Ye on the sofa to watch TV.
Ye Zhizhou couldn't bear to break the harmonious atmosphere between the mother and son, so she went back upstairs to video chat with Qin Xuan.
"How did it go with Sister Liangtian?"
After telling Qin Xuan about Liao Ting's situation, Ye Zhizhou changed the subject.
While video chatting with her, Qin Xuan typed code. He had been investigating information about country J recently, hoping to find some clues related to his father.
"Take acting lessons with a teacher first, then go for the audition."
Seeing him intently coding, Ye Zhizhou decided not to disturb him and instead checked his phone for recent messages.
I noticed everyone in the group was saying that the final exam results were out.
She logged into the school's backend system, checked the information, and felt relieved. This time, she hadn't let Qin Xuan down.
