The Stepmother’s Counterattack: Raising a Child in a Bygone Era

After having dinner with Zhong Qing, Yan Yi returned to the Yan Mansion.

The Yan Family’s dinner was always later, and when Yan Yi arrived, they were still eating.

Seeing Yan Yi come back, Yan Su immediately asked the nanny to add a set of clean utensils, and Yan Yi did not refuse and sat down to join his grandfather and parents for a meal.

Old Master Yan was over 80 years old this year and had been suffering from dementia for several years. His aged eyes stared at Yan Yi for a long time, but he called out his father’s name instead, which no one found unusual anymore.

The old master’s health was not good, and his appetite was poor. Yan Yi coaxed him into drinking half a bowl of soup before he clamored to go out and see the moon.

The nanny moved to attend to him but was waved off by Yan Yi, who stood up to personally push the old master’s wheelchair for a walk in the garden.

After dinner, Yan Su found Yan Yi in the backyard, keeping the old master company.

"Why did you come back today?" she asked.

Yan Yi had gone abroad for his studies at an early age and had set up his residence outside after returning to the country, usually only coming back to the Yan Mansion on weekends.

"Sister, she gave birth to a daughter."
