Su Yelai ran aimlessly on the road for a while, as if someone was chasing her from behind.

Only when he was tired did he squat down and gasp for breath.

The anger in my heart has dissipated, leaving only rational restraint.

But a feeling of loneliness came naturally.

I repeatedly comforted myself not to have expectations of others. Without expectations, there would be no disappointment. Therefore, I endured and did not come to recognize her.

But no matter how mentally prepared she was, she still couldn't help it.

When he heard Deng's mother's words defending and planning for Deng Jiuyue, he suddenly became angry. He couldn't help but pour out all the words that had been pent up in his heart.

Those words made her seem like an orphan, no one wanted her anywhere, everyone despised her, and her only purpose was to keep Deng Jiuyue company, as if her existence was for Deng Jiuyue.

If it were anyone else, it would be fine, but how could I be sisters with Deng Jiuyue?

Deng's mother's favoritism was too obvious, and it made her sad.

If blood ties cannot compare to decades of companionship, then what happened to Su's mother? If blood ties are the only relatives, then she was cruelly pushed away by Deng's mother. She couldn't understand.

Deng Jiuyue had enjoyed maternal love and the care of the Deng family for her. Now Mother Deng wanted her to keep Deng Jiuyue company, and she couldn't accept it.

Just when Su Yelai was staring at the ground in a daze, Grandpa Qin called.

"Grandpa Qin." Su Yelai answered the phone in a hoarse voice.

"Xiao Lai, have you set off?" Grandpa Qin asked.

Su Yelai frowned. Didn’t Qin Yanbei change the time with Grandpa Qin?

"Grandpa Qin, Mother Deng is seriously ill, so Yanbei and I are coming to visit the Deng family. It may take some time, and we may not be able to make it today."

"Give the phone to Yanbei, I want to talk to him."

"He's not with me."

After a brief pause, the person on the other end of the line softened his voice, "Xiao Lai, the Deng family has a good relationship with our Qin family because I worked with old man Deng in the past, and Yan Bei and old man Deng's grandson Deng Zening grew up together. Now that Deng Zening is gone, Yan Bei has paid more attention to Deng Zening's mother, and it's also a way to repay the brotherhood. Don't take it to heart."

"Well, I can understand." Su Yelai sniffed while speaking.

"Xiao Lai, if that brat Yanbei makes you unhappy, come to grandpa for support, don't hold it in your heart. You are not only the granddaughter-in-law of our Qin family, but in my mind you are my granddaughter. You have the Qin family and me behind you, so don't be afraid."

"Okay, thank you grandpa!"

Su Yelai's eyes turned red again. Although she didn't quite understand why Grandpa Qin said that, she was grateful in her heart.

He said to treat her as his granddaughter, which was to support her. The implication was obvious, whether she was the daughter-in-law of the Qin family or not, she should be treated as a member of the Qin family.

Su Yelai felt very warm in her heart, and Grandpa Qin's words soothed the regret in her heart.

Perhaps, family affection is also about fate, and blood relationship is only one of the factors. Just like Deng Jiyue and her mother, they are destined to be together.

Thinking of this, I felt much better.

Thinking of Deng Jiuyue, I remembered what I heard in the temple last time, that someone had replaced her fate. Now it seems that person is undoubtedly Deng Jiuyue.

But now she couldn't understand why she was the only one who remembered what happened in the temple that day.

She felt that it really happened.

After a while, Qin Yanbei called.

"Did you tell grandpa about my bad deeds?" Qin Yanbei asked, but his tone was not questioning, but rather teasing.

Su Yelai didn't understand and subconsciously denied: "No."

"Grandpa asked me to come and apologize to you and explain my relationship with the Deng family. Otherwise, I will only recognize you and not me."

Su Yelai then realized that Grandpa Qin must have misunderstood.

Perhaps she was in a low mood when she answered the phone, and Grandpa Qin heard it, and thought she was sad because Qin Yanbei cared about Deng Jiuyue's mother.

No wonder you said that just now.

"Grandpa must have misunderstood. I will go and explain to him." Su Yelai replied.

Qin Yanbei noticed the change in Su Yelai's way of addressing him and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. One wanted to acknowledge his granddaughter, while the other directly changed his words to call him grandpa. It was quite interesting.

"No, where are you? I'll take you back to the Qin family."

Su was surprised for a moment. Did he finish the visit and leave so soon?

She looked around: "I don't know where I am either."

"Little idiot, open a location sharing app and I'll come find you."

Su Yelai pursed her lips. She was not stupid. If necessary, she could find her way out, but she was willing to stay where she was, start location sharing, and wait for Qin Yanbei to come find her.

Qin Yanbei came very quickly. Ten minutes later, the familiar car arrived. Su Yelai opened the door and got in, her eyes still a little red.

Qin Yanbei looked at him for a few seconds and said nothing. The car was very quiet.

Su Yelai was used to this kind of silence and felt comfortable. Qin Yanbei did not ask her what she had said to Deng's mother, which was good, because if he asked, she would not want to answer...

"Aunt Mo fainted and was sent to the hospital." Qin Yanbei said while driving.

Su Yelai's heart skipped a beat and she looked up at Qin Yanbei, as if she didn't hear what he said clearly and wanted to confirm it.

"she……"

"She is awake now and is still in hospital for observation."

"Then why don't you go and keep her company." Su Yelai said awkwardly.

"I'm not a doctor, nor am I her child, so staying with her won't help. If you want to go see her, I can go with you."

Su Yelai quickly shook her head: "No, I won't go."

What's the point of seeing it? Forget it. I don't want to appear in front of her anymore.

Qin Yanbei just replied with an understanding "OK".

In fact, when Deng's mother woke up, she kept saying: Xiaolai, I didn't know you had such a hard time. Please forgive me. You are my daughter, but Yueyue is also my daughter. I love you dearly...

Qin Yanbei was shocked, but after thinking about it carefully, he figured out the reason, which was quite reasonable.

He didn't mention this matter. Su Yelai didn't want to talk about it, so he would wait until she was willing to open her heart and talk to him in person.

When Old Master Qin heard the news that Su Yelai and Qin Yanbei would be returning home today, he hummed a little tune happily.

Grandma Qin: "Old man, are you abnormal today?"

Old Master Qin stroked his stubble and asked, "What's wrong?"

"You were talking to Xiao Lai on the phone just now, and your voice was hoarse."

Old Master Qin glared and said, "Don't hang out with those rascals. They just keep saying nonsense."

“I’m young at heart.”

"Okay, my wife is a flower at 18, so I am the pistil."

"Why are you the pistil?"

"In your heart."

Grandma Qin happily pushed him and said, "You are so conceited."

When Su Yelai and Qin Yanbei arrived at Grandpa Qin's residence, Grandpa Qin was already standing at the door with his hands behind his back, inspecting the place. There was a tall loquat tree at the door, and under the tree was a square stone table. Grandpa Qin was walking around the stone table.

"Grandpa." Su Yelai noticed Grandpa Qin walking with his back to him and called out.

"Come on, come in and sit down." Old Master Qin glanced at the two of them, and seeing that they were holding hands and seemed to be in a good relationship, he felt relieved and continued to walk into the house with his hands behind his back.

Grandma Qin, who was inside the house, heard the noise and came to the door: "Your grandfather is waiting so long that he almost walked out to the road to pick you up."

"I'll go out and check the loquat tree at the door. The fruits are ripe and can be picked." Old Master Qin was stubborn and unwilling to admit it.

Grandma Qin smiled and said, "That's great. I'll have someone pick some and we'll make loquat juice. Xiao Lai, come and sit on the sofa. Let grandma see. I heard that Yanbei bullied you."

"No, no, he's fine. It has nothing to do with him." Su Yelai followed Grandma Qin to the sofa, and the nanny quickly brought over some fruit.

Su Yelai had met Grandpa Qin before, and Grandma Qin was a very kind person who never made things difficult for others. After the two of them sat on the sofa and chatted for a while, Su Yelai quickly became familiar with her.

The elders of the Qin family had met the three of them and were all quite friendly. Su Yelai's first impression was that the Qin family was very warm and not as difficult to approach as she had imagined.

During dinner time, Qin Yanbei's parents and uncles also came.

Grandma Qin took Su Yelai's hand and introduced them one by one.

Qin Mojing waited until dinner was served before coming: "Sorry, sister-in-law, I'm busy right now."

Second aunt glared at me and said, "What can you do? You've been fooling around all day. Hurry and sit down!"

"Mom, this is in front of my sister-in-law, please give me some face."

The second aunt glanced at Su Yelai, then curled her lips and said nothing more.

The eldest aunt tried to smooth things over: "Mo Jing can now take charge of things on his own. I heard that he will soon take over as deputy general manager."

"It's not a position at the headquarters." The second aunt was not satisfied. Of course, she didn't blame Qin Yanbei entirely. She was just disappointed with her son.

If he had been more motivated, he wouldn't have been transferred away from home. Although he has been transferred back now, he has not been transferred to the headquarters.

The atmosphere became a little cold, and Grandpa Qin said, "Don't talk about work during meals. If you have any questions, come to my study after dinner."

Second aunt shut up awkwardly.

"Xiao Lai, come and try this fish. Your grandpa caught it from the pond in the backyard early this morning." Grandma Qin called.

"It's delicious, the meat is very tender, thank you grandpa, thank you grandma." After Su Yelai took a bite, she curved her eyes, it tasted really good.

The mood is also good.

During the dinner, Qin Yanbei's parents spoke little and only chatted briefly about the wedding arrangements.

Qin Yanbei's father asked Su Yelai's family when they were free, and the two families made an appointment to have dinner together.

Although the wedding has been decided, it was Su Yelai's own decision, and I haven't met Su Yelai's family yet.

Su Yelai didn't want to have anything to do with Su's mother, and didn't even want to tell her about her marriage. If people knew that she and Qin Yanbei were married, they would probably run to the Qin family to ask for money.

She said directly: "Uncle, my mother and I don't get along, and we don't have any contact anymore."

The people at the table exchanged glances with each other with different expressions, and Qin's mother's face darkened.

"After all, she is your mother. Marriage is a big deal. As a daughter, even if you don't think about your family, you should have the right to know." Guan Yun said with a cold face.

"Mom, you don't know the reason." Qin Yanbei spoke for Su Yelai.

Guan Yun was even more dissatisfied: "What could be the reason? Even if being a mother is not perfect, but no one is perfect, filial piety is the most basic quality for children."

Qin Yanbei knew what his mother meant. Rather than being dissatisfied with Su Yelai's attitude towards her mother, it would be more accurate to say that she was dissatisfied with him.

His face was not looking good either: "It has always been the case that mothers are kind and children are filial. The premise of filial piety is the kindness of the elders. Only focusing on filial piety and ignoring kindness will only make the relationship unbalanced."

"I am not loving?"

"good."

Qin Yanbei and Guan Yun had one angry look on their faces, and one cold look on their faces. Although their tones were calm and they didn't shout, everyone could feel the tense atmosphere.

Su Yelai felt embarrassed and opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say. She knew that Guan Yun didn't like her attitude towards her mother, but how could she mention the past, and how could she talk about her rebirth?

Forget it, let it be a misunderstanding, let it be unfilial if it is unfilial, let it be disliked if it is not liked.

She would not change her mind because of this, nor would she give in because of what others said and let Su's mother re-enter her life.

"Okay, let's discuss this matter in private later." Seeing that the mother and son were quarreling again, Grandma Qin couldn't help but sigh.

"I'm done eating, enjoy your meal. I want to go out for a walk and come back later. Su Yelai, please accompany me for a walk."

Qin Yanbei said something and pulled Su Yelai over. Su Yelai looked at Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin with some embarrassment.

"Okay, let's take a walk after dinner." Grandpa Qin waved at Su Yelai, indicating that she should follow Qin Yanbei.

After Su Yelai left the door, Old Man Qin put down the kind smile he had maintained for some time tonight and his face became solemn.

"Are you satisfied now?"

Guan Yun felt aggrieved, but did not say anything and just held the chopsticks tightly.

"I'm going back to the study first. You can leave after you finish eating." Old Master Qin put down his chopsticks, stopped paying attention to his son and daughter-in-law, and went upstairs.

Grandma Qin soon followed.

"They left?"

"Well, I'll go back after dinner."

"Tell me, this was Xiao Lai's first time coming over for dinner, and she suddenly started to act up. Can you blame Yan Bei for this?"

"Alas, she just can't get over the hurdle in her heart." Grandma Qin didn't know what to say. Yanbei had come to live with Grandpa Qin since he was ten years old and was unwilling to live with his parents. Guan Yun felt uncomfortable about this.

"If she can't get over the hurdle in her heart, that's her own business. Yanbei didn't do anything wrong." Old Master Qin snorted coldly.

Grandma Qin stroked Grandpa Qin's back and said, "Calm down, old man. Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. You and I are old now, so we must take care of ourselves."

Old Master Qin calmed down a little and muttered in a low voice: "I don't know if Xiao Lai will think too much."

The reason why these people were so indifferent at the dinner table and quarreled whenever they wanted was that they did not take Xiao Lai seriously and thought she was an insignificant person. If someone they valued came today, would they still talk like this?

"When Xiao Lai comes back, I'll go talk to her."

"Just mention it casually, don't make it too serious."

"clear."

On the other side, Su Yelai and Qin Yanbei were walking in a fruit and vegetable garden beside the Qin residence. They came to a pond with many fat and tender fish in it.

“Is Grandpa here to fish?”

"Ah."

“This fish is really well-fed!”

"My grandmother loves to eat fish, so my grandfather specially asked someone to dig a fish pond, and someone feeds them every day."

"Grandpa and grandma have such a good relationship." Su Yelai sighed.

"Ah."

The two of them just walked along in this casual manner.

The night breeze was a bit cold, and Su Yelai couldn't help shivering. Qin Yanbei rubbed her cold hands, took off his coat and put it on her: "Go back."

Calculating the time, it’s time for his mother to leave.

"it is good."

On the way back, Su Yelai thought about it and asked, "Did I say something wrong when we were eating just now?" She still didn't understand why things suddenly became so unpleasant.

"It's none of your business. It's a problem between me and my mom. She's just using it as an excuse. It happens all the time."

"Ok."

"She has always been upset about abandoning me. In fact, I never blamed her, I was just a little disappointed. But she brought it up again and again, telling me again and again that even if she did that, she is still his mother, and I must be filial and obedient, and I must not have any resentment towards her. It gets annoying when I hear it too much."

So later he moved out and avoided seeing his mother.

It's not that I don't want to face it, it's that I'm really fed up with it. The two of them can't get along harmoniously for more than three days.
