Zhao Youlin felt her son's nervousness. She stroked his little head and comforted him, "We'll visit .. your grandmother first. He's friendly. Joy, be a nice and polite boy later. If you do, Grandma will like you just as much as Grandpa Geek, got it?”
"okay." Joy nodded obediently and held onto Zhao Youlin's hand. They walked around the elegant courtyard filled with plain white flowers and entered the secluded small attic.
When they opened the large wooden door, they were greeted by a graceful figure in white clothes.
"Madam, the oldest woman and the young master of the third generation has arrived."
In Zhao Youlin's expectations, she was an extremely elegant and dignified woman.
Her elegance was different from that of Li Hongyu who was from the lower classes and pretended to be a noblewoman. Meanwhile, the noble air he produced came from within his bones. Every move he made, every smile he gave, and every frown on his eyebrows was perfect. No one can find a shortage.
The woman was wearing a plain white knee-length dress. Therefore, he looked younger than his real age. However, she appeared graceful and mature.
After hearing Uncle Zhao's words, the woman shuddered. He slowly withdrew his gaze from outside the window where he was staring. Then, he turned around and looked at Zhao Youlin and her son who were standing at the entrance.
At that moment, Zhao Youlin could see a hint of excitement and tears welling up in her eyes.
“Uncle Zhao, you can leave now. I want to talk to the oldest woman."
Uncle Zhao smiled faintly and nodded. Then, he bowed and retreated. He thought enough to close the door of the room as he left.
As soon as Uncle Zhao left, Duan Yarong could no longer contain her excitement from the bottom of her heart. He stepped forward, observing Zhao Youlin from head to toe. She said with teary eyes, "Your weight is down."
When Zhao Youlin saw Duan Yarong's sincere concern and her heartache for him, for some reason, she felt a sting in her eyes.
Perhaps, this was the first time he had truly been noticed by someone since he was reborn. Perhaps, the first few words Duan Yarong was very honest and touching. Perhaps, he felt that the woman before him was like his own mother who had died.
Zhao Youlin felt touched. She felt that she could express her grievances to him and said, "The oldest aunt ..."
Before Zhao Youlin finished speaking, Duan Yarong had already reached out and grabbed Zhao Youlin's left hand. He personally rolled up Zhao Youlin's sleeves.
When Duan Yarong saw the scar on Zhao Youlin's wrist, tears streamed down her face and fell on the back of Zhao Youlin's hand. He said, "You stupid boy, how can you really ..."
Duan Yarong had just learned that Zhao Youlin had slit her wrist because of Mu Tingfeng today. A month ago, he accepted a case and went abroad. So, she had absolutely no idea that her beloved niece was close to dying this month.
Unfortunately, although the wound is shallow, it can still cause death due to prolonged bleeding. The real Zhao Youlin had lost her life for an unreasonable reason.
However, Zhao Youlin unwittingly felt heartache when she saw her eldest aunt being so sad for her.
After Zhao Youlin thought about it for a while, she took the initiative and held onto her eldest aunt's hand to cover the scar without leaving a trace and comforted her, “The oldest aunt, I'm fine. Aren't I in good shape now?”
Tears kept flowing down Duan Yarong's face. Her teary eyes remained fixed on Zhao Youlin, unwilling to turn a blind eye even once because she was afraid that Zhao Youlin would disappear again like her mother.
"good. Thank goodness you're okay. Otherwise, I will blow up the young master of the Mu family home. I can give her the other cheek that treated you coldly for years, but she even forced you to.”.
Zhao Youlin was startled by Duan Yarong's sudden explosion. He never expected a dignified and mature woman to be like this. He seems really upset.
Upon second thought, Zhao Youlin could not help feeling touched from losing her composure all because of her.
“The oldest aunt, don't be angry. I have divorced Mu Tingfeng. It's not worth getting angry about this. Calm down, ”Zhao Youlin wiped her tears while helping her calm her breath.
It took some time to calm Duan Yarong down.
Duan Yarong wiped her tears as she studied Zhao Youlin. Then, he sighed, “I've noticed that young master Mu has no feelings for you from the start. Not only that, he even thinks you're a bitch. A marriage without love will only make both parties suffer. I'm afraid you'll suffer after marrying into his family. However, you refused to listen to me and insisted on marrying her. In the end, you even hurt yourself because of him.”.
When Zhao Youlin heard Duan Yarong say so, she hurriedly played with him, “The oldest aunt, it was my fault. I was young and innocent at the time. I think that guy is everything to me. But, now I understand that I cannot use force on certain things. This scar has taught me a lesson. I will never repeat such a foolish mistake in the future. Don't worry about that."
After hearing Zhao Youlin's words, Duan Yarong was convinced that she had truly learned from her mistakes. She felt relieved, nodded, and said, “Don't worry, even though you were once married to Mu Tingfeng, with your appearance and background, you can easily find someone better than the man from your family. A man who knows how to appreciate you.”
Despite knowing that Duan Yarong was only comforting him, Zhao Youlin was unable to hold the topic any further and hence, she changed the topic awkwardly, “The oldest aunt, is, we'll talk about this again someday. I just got divorced and have a child... By the way, it's Joy. Joy, come here.”
Duan Yarong knew that Zhao Youlin did not want to linger on this topic and deliberately changed the topic. Although Zhao Youlin said she had cut off ties with Mu Tingfeng, she did not completely forget about him. Moreover, she had been greatly injured by her previous marriage and only time could heal all the wounds. So, she did not insist and turned her attention to Joy.
Joy occasionally peeked at the elder who looked very young when she entered from the start. However, he remembered Zhao Youlin's instructions and thus, he did not dare to err.
Finally, when he heard Zhao Youlin call him, he hurriedly raised his head, smiled obediently and greeted her, "Grandmother ..."
Duan Yarong had never had children even until now. So, she can't help it, especially when Joy calls her grandmother.
