Chapter 336   – Getting married. Hurrah. Hurrah. (2)

Perhaps, what Father and Mother Ye had done wasn’t that awful after all. Now that her son had re-united with his father and would be added officially onto the Ye’s genealogy, all the more it was difficult for Yan Shuyu to criticize them from a moral high ground.

That being said, Yan Shuyu was never a very forgiving person. She couldn’t just pretend that nothing had happened. As such, she wasn’t sure what to make of all this. After sitting around silently with Mother Ye for a while, Mother Ye was the one who finally broke the silence. She asked in a low voice, “I heard that you are about to get re-married.”

Yan Shuyu nodded. “Congratulations,” said Mother Ye.

She even turned and looked at Zhou Qinhe as she spoke. She didn’t say anything else but she was probably expressing her approval of Yan Shuyu’s choice. The boss was, after all, a very outstanding man.

Yan Shuyu had no problem accepting Mother Ye’s approval. That was right. She was that good at picking out a man for herself.

“Yuanbao, that’s his nickname, right?” Mother Ye was trying to strike up a conversation again. She didn’t have much to talk about with Yan Shuyu but the way she looked at Zhang Yuanjia was very tender. Her reserved looked turned into a loving one and she was short of having “my oldest grandson was so handsome” written all over her face. She looked like she wanted to pull him into her arms and all sorts of dote on him.

Unfortunately, she would not have the opportunity to do so.

Zhang Yuanjia’s fondness toward his father was not something instinctual but from his mother’s “planting”. Albeit that wasn’t Yan Shuyu’s original intention, but her speech of how wonderful daddy was had certainly planted a seed in the little kiddo’s mind. As such, he may have been envious that Xiao Yi had a father after he had got to know Uncle Zhou and Xiao Yi, he was never jealous of him. The more wonderful he found Uncle Zhou, the prouder he was as his father was every bit as wonderful as Uncle Zhou in his mind. Meaning to say that his admiration and closeness toward Uncle Zhou stemmed from his image of his own father. That was very different than how he had wanted to turn Uncle Zhou into his own father in the original novel.When Ye Rongchen, his birth father, showed up, all of his fantasy and imagination made it very easy for him to accept and get used to having a father.

Mother and Father Ye, on the other hand, did not receive the same treatment. Zhang Yuanjia, who was still just a grade school student, had only heard about his father from his mother. He had no idea that he had grandparents and all of the elders in the Ye family were strangers to him. His mother had only mentioned that he would be meeting some of daddy’s relatives and elders during his trip to the capital with his dad, mom, and Uncle Zhou. Once he was added to the genealogy, he would officially be father and son with his dad.

Zhang Yuanjia didn’t have much concept about his grandparents. As such, when the little kiddo, who had a lot of principles, stepped inside of the private room and saw that the unfamiliar pair of middle-aged couple wanted to hug him, he had reflexively taken a step back with some resentment on his face.

He might look to be outgoing, cheerful, and a sweet-talker, but he still somewhat resisted the idea of getting close to strangers.

Father and Mother Ye froze on the spot right away.

Because of that incident, they were much more reserved afterward. They couldn’t help but looked at Zhang Yuanbao all the time and their lips curved upward uncontrollably but they dared not reached out to him again, worried that they would scare away their oldest grandson.

Yan Shuyu, who had witnessed all that, was happy. From what Ye Rongchen had told her previously, she thought his parents were fond of neither herself nor her son. As it turned out, she was the only one that they disliked and the little kiddo was just collateral damage. Now that they have seen their oldest grandson alive and well in front of them, the elders had fallen in love with him immediately.

The cautiousness and awkwardness from the authoritative Father and Mother Ye toward a 7-year-old child probably suggested a feeling of guilt on their part.
