C117 Explain
"Also, let me remind you, you should avoid contact with that Ye Ziyan. That woman is unruly and has a bad character. You'd better keep your eyes open and distinguish who is your real daughter-in-law!"
Old Madam Gu's words were heavy and angry. Soong Lan did not dare to contradict her and could only nod her head in silence.
Seeing this, Old Madam Gu glanced at her unhappily, then pulled Ye Tian's hand and put it on her arm.
"Tian, it's not easy for you to come back. Come, go up and talk to me."
Ye Tian was still shocked by the old mistress's protection towards her. Hearing that, she was stunned for a moment before reacting. She turned around and accompanied her upstairs.
At this time, Gu Qiyue, who had been hiding in the room, walked out and frowned as she went to Soong Lan's side.
"Mom, look at Grandma. She's too biased towards Ye Tian, isn't she? She's just an outsider! Grandma treats me so well, but she doesn't treat her as well! Why!"
Soong Lan sat on the sofa with a face full of anger.
If Old Madam Gu had not insisted on making Ye Tian marry into the Gu family, why would she have hurt her own son?
"Heh, so what if she's protecting her?"
She laughed coldly, her expression dark. "Anyways, one day, I will kick Ye Tian out of the Gu family!"
Gu Qiyue also nodded in agreement. "The sooner the better! I don't want to see her again for a minute!"
...
Ye Tian followed Old Madam Gu to her bedroom. She helped her sit down and was about to sit across her when she saw her pointing to the side.
"Good girl, come here and sit here. Let me take a good look at you."
Thinking about how the old lady had protected her just now, Ye Tian couldn't help but feel warm in her heart. She felt less uneasy when she was with her. She smiled and sat down.
"Grandma, you protected me so much just now. Mom should be happy now."
She helped the old lady massage her arm as she muttered to herself.
Old Madam Gu didn't mind at all. She smiled and said, "So what? When have I ever been happy when I was with you?"
Ye Tian thought about it and agreed with her. A few years ago, Soong Lan was like this.
"Silly girl, it's not your fault. You don't have to bear the responsibility. You've done nothing wrong these days. I have been watching you walk step by step to this day. How could I let my family bully you? Sigh, your mother-in-law has always been like this. She is easily deceived by sweet words. In fact, she is not very shrewd. Don't take what she said to heart. Just let it go."
Ye Tian naturally understood. She nodded and stood up to massage her shoulders.
Old Madam Gu felt comfortable and could not help but smile warmly. She changed the topic and chatted with her.
"By the way, how is your grandfather's condition?"
Ye Tian thought about what she saw today and replied with a smile, "It's fine. He's in good condition. The doctor said that he can be operated as long as he is stable for a period of time."
"Is that so?" Old Madam Gu couldn't help but feel happy when she heard this. "That old man has been lying here for a long time. It's about time for him to get up and play chess with me. I'm so bored alone."
For some reason, Ye Tian always felt uneasy when the old lady was overly enthusiastic. However, when she heard her words, she finally understood the loneliness in her heart.
Then, she suddenly remembered that when she and Gu Qinian came back last time, the old lady was so happy. She couldn't help but feel sad in her heart.
This old lady was guarding such a big house alone. Her children and grandchildren were not by her side. She must be very lonely.
Thinking of this, her mood suddenly became a little heavy.
In order to chase away this haze, she smiled and took out the mini camera that she carried with her and waved it at the old lady.
"Grandma, let me take a picture for you. Didn't you tell Gu Qinian that since I won the first place, you would let me take a set of photos for you? Come on now!"
Seeing that she was interested in accompanying her, Old Madam Gu was naturally overjoyed. How could she disagree?
Thus, the old lady and the young girl kept laughing in the room, and even the laughter could be heard from the other side of the room.
Soong Lan passed by the corridor and heard the laughter. Her expression couldn't help but turn ugly.
She didn't expect that this girl would still be able to please the old lady!
Heh, no wonder the old lady liked her so much! She was quite scheming!
...
On the way home, Gu Qinian kept silent.
During this period of time, Ye Ziyan would find a topic to talk about from time to time, wanting Gu Qinian to notice her, but she always failed.
Seeing the car drive away, Ye Ziyan stood at the door with a gloomy expression. The sense of superiority she had when facing Ye Tian had completely disappeared.
She always felt that Gu Qinian was not as good as before, and now it seemed like there was nothing wrong with it.
Heh, she didn't know what that bitch Ye Tian did to make Gu Qinian change so much.
But no matter what, now that Gu Qiyue and Gu Sheng had returned, it was only a matter of time before she married into the Gu family.
As for Gu Qinian's heart, she would take it bit by bit!
...
On the way back to the mansion, Gu Qinian received a call from Han Cheng.
"President, I found out. After Madam came out of the company this afternoon, she took a taxi to the hospital."
"To the hospital?"
"Yes, she went to the intensive care ward to see Old Mr. Ye."
When Gu Qinian heard this, a look of doubt appeared in his eyes.
He had clearly promised to pick her up, so why did Ye Tian suddenly run to the hospital to visit her grandfather at this critical moment?
This doubt lingered in his heart, so he didn't say anything and directly hung up the phone.
When he got home, he wanted to go straight back to his room, but Gu Sheng called him to the study room to talk about the company and the recent developments.
When he returned to his bedroom, it was already past eleven o'clock.
When he entered the room, he deliberately slowed down his steps. The sound of his footsteps could not be heard, but when he entered, he realized that the bedside lamp was still on.
At this moment, Ye Tian was lying in the blanket, only revealing her small head, obviously not asleep yet.
Seeing this, Gu Qinian was a little surprised and subconsciously asked, "Why aren't you asleep yet?"
Ye Tian sat up from the blanket and replied without thinking, "Yes, I'm waiting for you."
This sentence made Gu Qinian pause in his action of taking off his jacket. He raised his eyelids and looked at her, a glint flashing in his eyes.
"Waiting for me? Is there something?"
Ye Tian nodded and hesitated for a moment before replying.
"You hung up on me this afternoon, but I still want to explain it to you."
Hanging up? Gu Qinian thought for a moment and then remembered that he had hung up on her in a moment of desperation when he was at the airport.
So, this woman was misunderstanding him... Was she angry? So she deliberately waited for him to come back?
This thought suddenly pleased him, and even he himself did not realize that his expression had become warm.
Ye Tian did not pay too much attention to it and only explained the situation in the afternoon.
"That afternoon, I was going to wait for you at the entrance of the company, but I suddenly received a call saying that my grandfather's situation has changed and that his life is in danger. I had to hurry over. I was in a hurry, so I rushed over. At that time, my phone was vibrating and I didn't notice it in my bag, so I missed the pick-up. If it didn't cause you any trouble, I am very sorry."
