wing her into their apartment with the remaining bags."Your mom is really easy to get along with; it’s very comfortable being around her." Warm smiled and said as such, prompting a sideways glance fro...Sneak peek of chapter 1005
The next day, the two of them slept in until noon. Aunt Wen took Little Heaven’s Conquest out to a supermarket and then brought him to a park for a stroll before Ye Feimo and Wan’er finally got up. Wan’er made lunch, while Ye Feimo chatted with his mother-in-law and son in the living room, watching TV.
The matter concerning Wen Jing was a taboo for both families. Even Aunt Wen and Uncle Wen rarely mentioned it in front of Ye Feimo. From over a year ago when they found out the truth and were filled with anger to today’s resigned acceptance, there remained an underlying shadow that could not be let go.
Fortunately, Uncle and Aunt Wen did not take their frustrations out on Ye Feimo, so everything in their little family was fine. Even if there were some unpleasantness or a certain distance between them, Heaven’s Conquest being around ensured no problems arose.
After lunch, the whole family took Heavenly Reckoning to an amusement park for children. Aunt Wen originally didn’t want to disturb this rare family outing but was dragged along by Wan’er so she wouldn’t be bored at home alone. Clearly, Heavenly Reckoning loved being carried around in his grandmother’s arms; however, Ye Feimo picked him up instead of letting Aunt Wen carry him. Little Heaven’s Conquest grew heavier as he got older and even Wan’er found it tiring to hold him for a while, let alone Aunt Wen.
Ye Feimo had the strongest arm strength among them. Heavenly Reckoning was unhappy being carried by his daddy and wanted to sit on his shoulders like Tian Cheng did with his uncle but Ye Feimo pinched his bottom instead, leaving Little Heaven’s Conquest feeling wronged; why couldn’t his daddy be as generous as Uncle
Heavenly Reckoning was a bundle of energy. The family played in the amusement park for three hours and initially planned to take Aunt Wen out for dinner later that afternoon but then Wan’er received Chen Anya’s call, requesting to meet her for tea.
In a daze, Wan’er recalled they were going back to the Ye Family Compound tomorrow evening for dinner with Ye Feimo.
She discussed it with Ye Feimo and he said, “Since Mommy invited you out for tea, go ahead. I’ll take Heavenly Reckoning and your mother out to eat.”
warm glared, "You're not going"
Ye Feimo gave a faint smile, "Go ahead. Mommy doesn't mind if I don’t go."
Warm nodded. Ye Feimo drove her to the tea house. Warm’s mother suggested, "Why don't you take Heaven's Will along Anya hasn’t seen him in ages."
Ye Feimo replied, "Mom, it’s fine. We’ll have dinner at the main residence tomorrow anyway, so it doesn’t matter if we miss one day."
Warm unbuckled her seatbelt. Ye Feimo hesitated to speak but finally remained silent, watching Warm enter the tea house. Ye Tianzong said, "I miss grandma."
Ye Feimo pinched his little cheeks, “You’ll see grandma tomorrow.”
...
Cheng Anya often visited this tea house, which was not far from the Mingcheng Apartment.
Sitting alone by a window, she had a set of teaware on the table with Pu’er tea brewing. The aroma wafted gently and comfortably towards her, making Cheng Anya smile as Warm approached.
"Mommy..." She sat down, Cheng Anya poured her tea and asked with a smile, "Where's Tianzhong"
"Fei Mo took him back." Warming said, "We'll bring Tianzhong back to the big house for dinner tomorrow."
Cheng Anya nodded. There was an odd atmosphere between mother and daughter-in-law. Before, Warming used to often have afternoon tea with her and Xu諾一起喝下午茶,參加圈子裡的活動。雖然許諾性格內向,但她偶爾也會妙語連珠。她和葉寧遠相處久了後,也變得有點幽默了。三個人感情很好,冇有出現過什麼隔閡,許諾和溫暖也很聊得來,並不像一般的妯娌那樣有矛盾。
然而,在溫靜出事之後,三人再冇單獨坐下來喝茶,更彆說談心了。
多半是程安雅獨自約溫暖出來喝茶,她偶爾還會推辭一下。特彆是在事情發生的前半年,這幾個月還好一些,隻要程安雅約她出來,她都會去。
許諾本就不善言辭,很被動,她和葉寧遠到溫家道過歉,但溫媽媽和溫爸爸並不理解他們,將他們拒之門外。許諾和葉寧遠也找溫暖道歉過,然而,這種蒼白的歉意,對溫暖來說並冇有減少她對葉天宇的怨恨。
溫暖低頭喝茶,人與人之間最怕的就是這樣的沉默,明明知道程安雅要說些什麼,但心中排斥,臉上卻冇有表露出來。這一年多來,很多事情都在慢慢改變。
程安雅說,“你現在對我連話都說不出來了?”
她語氣溫和,臉上帶著笑容,溫暖隻能勉強笑笑,誠實地說,“媽媽,抱歉。”
Cheng Anya shook her head. Wenran could smile warmly at them but had nothing more to say. A smile was the limit for her now. Cheng Anya knew that this wasn’t Wenran’s fault; she had something on her mind, and Cheng Anya understood it too.
Sometimes when she thought of their former harmony, there would be a little sadness.
"How has Tiansong been recently" Cheng Anya asked. Wenran replied, "He’s fine, just very naughty—his teachers often call to complain. Didn’t he and Tiancheng make two little girls cry the other day"
Cheng Anya couldn’t help but chuckle. Teachers also called Ye Ningyuan to complain about this brotherly duo making those little girls cry miserably.
Wenran didn’t know what Cheng Anya wanted to talk about; every time they met alone, she would only discuss matters concerning Wenjing, which made her a bit impatient, even resentful. If the same issue couldn’t be resolved for long, everyone would eventually become resentful.
"In a few days, Tianyu will turn twenty years old, and Ningning and I will go back to London." Cheng Anya said softly. "Ask if your mom is willing to come with us."
Wenran suddenly raised her head and stared straight at Cheng Anya. "What do you mean"
"Wenjing was taken by Tianyu to London," Cheng Anya explained. "Wenran, this child, Ningning finds it hard to discipline him. If we force him, who knows what crazy things he might do. We tried persuading Tianyu to let go, and we wish Wenjing could be laid to rest where she belongs. But Tianyu doesn’t want that. It’s not that we don’t have a solution; we just don’t want the situation to deteriorate further. Since Lan left, I don’t want to lose Tianyu too. Although this is his own doing, family isn’t something you can choose. When he gets into trouble, all we can do is help him correct it. We can’t hurt him again when he’s already been wounded, even if it seems like what he deserves."
"Mommy, I don’t want to talk about Wenjing anymore. Put yourself in my shoes; do you think that Wenjing would be willing to stay with Tianyu Do you think that Tianyu has the right to have her body My parents raised Wenjing for eighteen years—now it’s as if she doesn’t exist, and even her body is being kept away from them. How can they let go of their feelings in such a situation Mommy, please allow me to say something outrageous and unpleasant: The Wens are an ordinary family, while the Ye Family wields power. In the Ye household, I hardly have any voice; faced with what happened to Wenjing, there’s nothing I could do for my parents. Watching them makes me very sad—do you think that because you’re from the Ye family, you can bully others like this Do you think it’s okay to trample on other people’s lives and dignity at will If things were reversed, if I had a brother who killed Lan, and his body was still being withheld, wouldn’t the Ye Family likely make us Wens suffer even more But what can we do My parents don’t even have any way to seek justice—quietly accepting Wenjing’s death, they only demand that Tianyu return their child. Is this too much Don’t ask me to sympathize with Tianyu; go and plead for my parents’ understanding from him instead." water; nothing else.Ye Wei looked at Mo Xiaobai's drowsy expression with an indifferent eye, and Mo Xiaobai asked, "Is it really going to rain heavily for the next two days""What do you think""Mommy,...
