Chapter 29 - 028: Omen
On New Year’s Eve, those with relatives went back to their own dormitories with family, and employees also went to rest. With just one bed for Ye He Ping, it obviously wasn’t enough to sleep, so Ye He Ping squeezed in with the employees, where four people had to share his single bed.
In previous years, when celebrating New Year at the company, Ye He Ping also stayed with others. Therefore, Bai Xue and her daughter could still manage to stay there. Now, with her mother-in-law and eldest daughter also arriving, the problem that other families usually worried about was now on her own shoulders this time.
"Grandma, you’re older, you take the bed. I’ll nap leaning against the chair, and it’ll be morning soon." Ye Ling knew she shouldn’t compete with Ye Qian right now. No matter what, she couldn’t bear to let her grandma suffer.
Ye Ling didn’t consider herself generous, but she knew that in the end, if disputes arose, her mother would ultimately let Ye Qian end up on the bed. That would only worry her grandmother more, and Ye Ling didn’t want that. Thus, she chose to yield to Ye Qian this time.
Bai Xue was fretting about how to let her younger daughter sleep on the bed too. Seeing her eldest daughter speak up, she felt relieved and smiled, "Mom, it’s already late, please go to sleep."
Old Mrs. Ye knew her daughter-in-law would actually let the younger granddaughter sleep, but personally lying on the bed while her eldest granddaughter stayed up all night made her uncomfortable. "I’m older, and I don’t really have to sleep. How about this: let Ye Qian sleep inside, and Lingzi, come over and share the edge of the bed with me, just make do for the night."
Bai Xue felt troubled, "Mom, it’s already a single bed. It’s difficult for two people to fit. How about this: I’ll tidy up the table here, and let Lingzi lie on it for the night. I remember He Ping has another blanket here."
Upon hearing this compromise, Old Mrs. Ye looked toward Ye Qian, seeing that her younger granddaughter hadn’t said a word all along. She felt a bit uneasy. Bai Xue also noticed something strange about her younger daughter today. Letting her mother-in-law lie inside, while Ye Ling tidied up the table, Bai Xue finally had the chance to inquire in detail.
"Qianqian, what’s wrong? Not feeling well?"
"My nose bled again tonight, and I’m feeling a bit dizzy." Coupled with staying up late, Ye Qian was truly not feeling well.
