After a secret marriage, I became the biological mother of a rich and cute baby

Speaking of Ye Jingwan, Old Madam Ye shook her head in dismay, "She has no ability, just like her own father and mother. No matter how much assets are given to her, she will soon squander them all."

"Lanlan, what made grandma sad just now was that you and my disappointing son and daughter-in-law had such a quarrel..."

Gu Jinlan bit her lip and said nothing.

The rift between her, Ye Hongyu and Fang Yue could never be repaired in this lifetime.

Madam Ye sighed and continued, "Don't worry, grandma won't advise you to get along well. But... are you really so sure that there is another hidden story behind the child's incident?"

Gu Jinlan thought for a moment and nodded, "My intuition tells me that they must be hiding something from me about my child."

Madam Ye: "Since you insist so much, I won't say much. Anyway, no matter what you want to do, grandma supports you."

Gu Jinlan was deeply moved.

Madam Ye reached out a hand to hold her face distressedly, "But Lanlan, if it is this obsession that has supported you to this day, what if... you don't get the answer you want, what if in the end you find that everything is different from what you thought... Grandma is really afraid that you won't be able to hold on by then."

Although Mrs. Ye knew that her son and daughter-in-law were egoists.

But she always believed that they would not do anything so unscrupulous.

At least, they would never murder a baby, and they didn't have the courage to do so.

Gu Jinlan held Madam Ye's hand on her face, and raised the corners of her lips slightly, "Don't worry, grandma, I'm very strong now, and I won't lose myself like before."

"That's good." Old Madam Ye nodded with satisfaction.

Then he asked about Gu Jinlan's married life, "Is Xiaoye good to you? How does his son get along with you? Does he listen to you?"

"Everything is fine, don't worry, grandma. I have good news to tell you."

"What good news?"

"I have met my biological parents."

Gu Jinlan is still not sure whether recognizing the Zhao family is a good thing.

But she was sure that her grandmother's wish was to help her find her biological parents.

"Really?" Old Madam Ye's eyebrows lit up immediately. "Where are they? Are they treating you well?"

Gu Jinlan said: "It's the Zhao family in the imperial capital. They treat me very well, and my brothers are also very good."

Old Madam Ye widened her eyes in shock. "Zhao Zihua? He's a very powerful person! But it seems that his eldest son is the head of the Zhao family now?"

"That's right." Gu Jinlan nodded.

Madam Ye was overjoyed. "Oh, this is great! The Zhao family is the only big family in the country that can be compared with the Shi family! Before, I was worried that you would be looked down upon in the Shi family because of your poor background. Now that you have the Zhao family as your backer, no one can bully you."

"What worried me the most before was that you would be left alone after I left this world. Now that you have finally found your family, I can finally rest assured."

If she fails to find Lanlan's family by the day she dies, she will never be able to rest in peace.

Looking at the smiling face of Old Madam Ye, Gu Jinlan felt for the first time that becoming the daughter of the Zhao family seemed to be a good thing.

It was not because the Zhao family could support her, but because she saw the heartfelt smile on her grandmother's face at this moment.

In fact, over the years, Ye Hongyu and his wife have hurt not only her, but also her grandmother.

Ye Hongyu is the only son of grandma, but such a prodigal son is a pain in grandma's heart.

Although grandma didn't say it, she knew the pain in her heart.

Because over the years, grandma suddenly became much older.

My grandmother was so proud when she was young. She built an empire on her own. Who would have thought that she would have such a son and daughter-in-law.

If Ye Hongyu had been able to fight for his family a little, the Ye family would not have ended up in such a situation.

Relying on the wealth accumulated by his grandmother when she was young, as long as Ye Hongyu can do something down-to-earth, he can also become one of the famous families in Haicheng.

"There is one more thing." Gu Jinlan said, "Someone from the Zhao family went to the Ye family before. They wanted to visit grandma, but they met Ye Hongyu and Fang Yue. The Zhao family heard about me and the Ye family from Luo Xi. They felt that I was wronged, so they threatened to bankrupt the Ye family..."

"But I have already made this matter clear to the Zhao family. They will not do anything to the Ye family anymore. But I haven't told Ye Hongyu yet. He and Fang Yue have been contacting me recently. It should be about this matter."

"Now they are urging grandma to end her trip early. I guess they want her to come to me to plead for me."

Madam Ye nodded in understanding. "The Zhao family wants to stand up for you, which means they value you and care about you. This is a good thing."

Gu Jinlan smiled faintly.

She doesn't think so.

This incident does not represent how much the Zhao family cares about her or loves her, or maybe... they just feel they owe her and want to make up for it, so they express it in this way.

Making up for guilt and caring from the heart are two different things.

After all, for the past twenty years or so, they have been strangers and have no emotional foundation for living together.

Just because of a blood relationship, would they regard her as precious as their life?

Her experiences over the years have taught her that feelings are the most fragile and unreliable thing in the world.

"Grandma, if they mention this to you when you go back, tell them so they won't bother me again."

Madam Ye said, "Why tell them what to do? Just let them be frightened, maybe they will behave themselves. They have done so many bad things, they should suffer for it!"

After saying this, Old Madam Ye rolled her eyes.

Gu Jinlan was amused by the old man’s cute expression.

After sending Old Madam Ye home, Gu Jinlan only went to the door but did not enter the house.

Only then did I return home.

Shi Ye was not at home and she did not ask him where he had gone.

There has been some awkwardness in the relationship between the two of them recently. Less contact can reduce quarrels.

As usual, Gu Jinlan told Shi Xingran a bedtime story first, and only went back to the bedroom after the little guy fell asleep.

It's almost eleven o'clock and Shi Ye hasn't come back yet.

During dinner, Shi Xingran asked where his father had gone, and Butler Xue only said that Shi Ye had a social engagement that night.

She knew that Butler Xue lied.

Why would a capitalist of Shi Ye's level need to socialize until late at night?

No matter what kind of dinner party it is, if he wants to leave, everyone can only see him off with a smile.

Maybe he didn't want to come back and face her?

At one o'clock in the morning, Gu Jinlan tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep.

She thought that since Shi Ye was not at home, she would have some peace and quiet and could have a good sleep, but she couldn't fall asleep.

It seemed like I had gotten used to having him lying next to me at night.

Suddenly hearing the sound of a door opening, Gu Jinlan quickly lay down with his back to the door, pretending to sleep.

Then the footsteps approached.

Shi Ye didn't turn on the light, and in the darkness she felt the mattress was slightly dented.

He sat down beside the bed, and a very magnetic voice sounded:

"I know you are not asleep. There is something I think I need to tell you."
