Ye Jiu arrived at the main courtyard just in time for the people from the first and second branches to deliver their New Year gifts.
Old man Ye asked them to stay for lunch. Although Mrs. He didn't want to see her son at all, she admitted that her grandchildren were quite good. Thus, even though she was impatient, she still suppressed the urge to send them away.
It wasn't until Ye Jiu walked in that a smile finally bloomed on Mrs. He's face.
"Xiaojiu is here; come here quickly, come to mother," Mrs. He called out to Ye Jiu while seated on the kang.
Ever since Ye Jiu's origin had been revealed, Mrs. He had continuously felt deep insecurity. She wished she could keep Ye Jiu by her side at all times, just to avoid someone taking him away.
Unfortunately, she knew about his origins but still couldn't let Ye Jiu know, because she was afraid, afraid her daughter would feel uncomfortable and grow distant from her.
