Chapter 105 – Welcoming Old Bi Deng
Because their son’s apartment was renovated, the couple had moved in, so Ji Yunqi planned to go there tonight.
Anyway, her son had reserved a place for her, so she didn’t need to worry about not having a place to stay.
She wouldn’t tell her wife tonight. She would coordinate with her son and daughter-in-law, and then she could give this father and daughter a surprise.
…
“Aren’t you going home?” Jiang You was a little confused when he saw that Ji Yunqi was not heading home.
“I’m going to my son’s place. You go back by yourself.”
“Okay.”
…
After going to the market near her son’s place and buying some vegetables, Ji Yunqi went inside without saying a word to Ji Chengyun and the others. After all, she had a key to the apartment.
Looking at the newly renovated interior, Ji Yunqi felt a sense of satisfaction. Her son was married now, and they just needed to have the wedding.
The wedding date was approaching, and a big weight had been lifted from her mind.
As long as the conflict between her father-in-law and her wife was resolved, she would feel that her life was complete.
Just as Ji Yunqi was squatting in the kitchen simmering soup, the apartment door was opened.
Following the sound, she saw her son and daughter-in-law arriving home.
Ji Chengyun and Zhang Xinrou were also very surprised. They didn’t expect to see Ji Yunqi at this time.
“Dad, why are you here?”
The voice came from Ji Chengyun, which gave Ji Yunqi goosebumps.
What was this? It even had a timed update, making her unsure of who to pay attention to. But it was good this way. Now that this kid’s maternal grandfather was here, letting the kid handle it himself was the best.
“I have something to discuss with you, but it’s not convenient for your mom to know, so I came alone.”
Upon hearing this, Ji Chengyun seemed to understand something. Things that could make his dad avoid his mom couldn’t be simple. He probably needed help.
He glanced at the kitchen, then at Zhang Xinrou, signaling her to watch the pot. Then, he pulled Ji Yunqi to sit on the sofa.
“Dad, tell me, what’s going on?”
“Sigh…”
Ji Yunqi didn’t know how to start. Ye Lingyu’s arrival was indeed rather sudden. Her son probably wasn’t ready either.
“Your maternal grandfather and grandmother are here.”
“Ah?!”
Ji Chengyun was stunned by such a simple sentence. Weren’t they supposed to come later? Why so sudden?
“Did they arrive today or…”
“They arrived two days ago. I met them at school, and they were asking around for your address. They probably want to give you a surprise.”
Hearing this, Ji Chengyun knew that his dad had likely run into his maternal grandfather.
“Dad, didn’t Grandpa recognize you?”
“Isn’t that a waste of words? If I didn’t acknowledge it, how could he recognize me? I’m looking for you this time because I think it’s not appropriate to keep them waiting, so I want them to come here tomorrow.”
Ji Chengyun agreed with his dad’s point. It was indeed not good to leave the elders out in the cold, but inviting them here…
“Dad, things are probably not that simple, right? It shouldn’t be just for Grandpa to see me.”
Ji Yunqi nodded. “Yes, there’s something more important, which is to have your maternal grandfather and your mother meet and resolve the decades-long conflict between them. You know your mom’s personality; she’s stubborn.”
“I understand.” Ji Chengyun’s expression immediately became serious. He also knew about the situation between his mom and his maternal grandfather, which was one of the things he wanted to resolve the most over the years.
If his mom could reconcile with her father, then it would be the best. But the problem now was that his dad’s and mom’s identities were different!
“Dad, what about your identity now…”
Ji Yunqi knew what her son wanted to say, but she was helpless, wasn’t she?
“There’s no other way, I can only be honest with them. What else can I do? At most, I’ll be scolded a few times, and maybe he’ll feel sorry for his precious daughter~”
Ji Chengyun wanted to ask if his maternal grandfather would disown his mom. But when he thought of his maternal grandfather’s personality, he felt relieved. His maternal grandfather was not a pedantic person, so he didn’t need to worry about these things.
“Okay, Dad, I’ll listen to you.”
“Mmm-hmm, good son~”
…
The next day…
Ji Yunqi rubbed her eyes and patted her face. For some reason, she felt her condition was getting worse lately.
It seemed that ever since her wife became “abstinent,” her body had been getting worse, especially her skin, which had become a bit dry and cracked. It wasn’t like this before.
However, Ji Yunqi didn’t think much of it. She still attributed it to overwork and fatigue.
Now, Ji Yunqi had told Jiang You that she could tell Ye Lingyu where she was, but she hadn’t told Ye Mingkong yet.
Ji Yunqi thought that after Old Bi Deng and the others arrived, she would first reveal her identity and then try to persuade them, at least to make Old Bi Deng speak more politely to her wife.
She had to pacify one of them first, otherwise, with their personalities, they would definitely start arguing again.
Ji Yunqi herself was reluctant to let her wife swallow her anger, so she could only choose to let her father-in-law be the first to suffer. After living for decades, he should have a bigger tolerance.
[Jiang: Don’t worry, I’ve told them your address, and they should be there soon.]
[Yun: Thank you, Lao Jiang. Success or failure rests on this!]
[Jiang: Pfft~ We’re brothers, why are you saying this~]
…
At this moment, Ji Yunqi was standing at the entrance of the residential complex, watching the people coming and going. She had to see the people at first glance.
Of course, this wasn’t because Ji Yunqi was rushing to welcome them at the entrance of the residential complex, but to confirm that they had arrived.
The route she gave Jiang You could lead directly into the residential complex, but it would take a longer walk. As for her, she could take a shortcut and quickly get home to prepare.
Her son and daughter-in-law were preparing at home at this time. She couldn’t mess this up.
Suddenly, Ji Yunqi saw a ride-hailing car stop at the entrance of the residential complex. The two people who got out of the car were Ye Lingyu and Jiang Hua.
Seeing this, Ji Yunqi didn’t hesitate and turned to leave. The residential complex wasn’t large, and even if they took a detour, it would only take them more than ten minutes to reach her doorstep.
However, this time was more than enough.
Bang!
Ji Yunqi quickly pushed open the door and returned home.
“Dad, did they arrive?”
“They’re here, they’re here! Get ready. You two greet them first, and then I’ll make my appearance. Understand?”
“Understood! x2”
She glanced down at her clothes. A set of exclusive pajamas for young girls… it was okay. It didn’t matter, she’d go with it!
About ten minutes later…
A knock on the door sounded them.
