Chapter 185 - 180: Mom on the Offensive
Ever since that phone call with Ye Mu, Ye Qiu couldn’t stay put in City C anymore. She quickly handed over all her affairs to Lawyer Zhao to manage and would only return when she needed to appear in court or to liquidate assets.
In City T, a third-tier city, Ye Fu and Ye Mu ran a small business next to an elementary school. Now, during the summer vacation, they weren’t busy. When Ye Qiu and her daughter arrived at the storefront, her parents were tidying up the shelves. Seeing her parents’ gradually aging figures, Ye Qiu was choked up and couldn’t speak.
"Dad, Mom, I’m back."
Hearing the familiar voice, Ye Fu and his wife turned around incredulously; Ye Mu was still holding a box of pencils, which now fell to the ground with a "bang".
"Why did you suddenly come back?" Ye Mu turned around and stealthily wiped away a tear, "You, this child, didn’t even give your dad and me a heads-up."
"Come on in already. You’ve tired out my granddaughter," said Ye Fu, expressing concern for his daughter in the awkward manner traditional to Hua Country fathers.
"Grandpa, Grandma," Little Wen Yin still remembered Ye Fu and Ye Mu and called them sweetly.
"Ah!" Seeing Little Wen Yin, Ye Fu was even happier than Ye Mu; he put away his usually stern expression, warmly replied, and even rare for him, squatted down to make an amiable smile and asked Little Wen Yin, "Wenyin, do you want snacks? Grandpa will take you to buy some, okay?"
"Mom said Wenyin shouldn’t eat too many snacks." Although she was tempted, she had always been well-behaved and remembered Ye Qiu’s instructions.
Ye Fu affectionately picked up Little Wen Yin: "It’s fine, grandpa will take you to buy some. Your mom wouldn’t dare say anything."
