Chapter 75: Father and Daughter Reunited
“Hello, what’s going on? You’re not coming home all night, are you itching for a beating?”
As soon as the phone was connected, Ye Mingkong’s resentful voice came through, making Ji Yunqi, who had the speakerphone on, a bit embarrassed.
Ye Lingyu, who was on the side, had a fleeting gaze, not knowing what he was thinking. He was originally skeptical, but he never expected that his daughter would actually…
That…
Ye Lingyu glanced at Ji Yunqi. Wouldn’t his son-in-law become his daughter-in-law?
Truly…
“Uh… Wife, come to our son’s place quickly. I need to talk to you about something.”
“What is it? Making it so mysterious.”
“Just come, I won’t harm you. Don’t you trust me yet?”
“Okay, okay, I’m coming right away. Don’t worry.”
As the call was hung up, Ji Yunqi gazed at Ye Lingyu again: “Dad, do you… have anything you want to say?”
At this moment, Ji Yunqi was really curious about what her father-in-law would think. She only knew that if her son became a daughter, she would definitely spoil her.
But if this daughter became a son… the situation was really hard to say. What if this old man got unhappy… What would she do?
If they argued with his wife again, she wouldn’t get any benefit.
Afterward, she would still be held accountable by his wife, which would be a loss. It was better to first figure out the attitude of this old man, so she could act as a peacemaker, right?
“I…”
Ye Lingyu didn’t know what his state of mind was. His heart was extremely complicated at the moment, and an indescribable feeling grew in his heart. He was afraid!
He was afraid that his daughter… or rather, his current son, would not accept him. He was afraid of being disliked. He was afraid that all his expectations would turn into a handful of loess.
“My good son-in-law, do you think he will accept me?”
Ji Yunqi was slightly stunned. She originally thought that this old man would not be able to accept it because his wife had become a man. It seemed she had thought too much.
“As long as you sincerely want to reconcile with him, then of course there will be no problem.”
Ji Yunqi was confident about this. After all, his wife also hoped to reconcile with this old man, but she was unwilling to take the initiative to propose it.
When Ji Yunqi and Ye Lingyu stopped talking, Jiang Hua looked at Ji Yunqi with a smile.
“Child, come here.” Jiang Hua beckoned, signaling Ji Yunqi to sit beside her.
“Mom, what’s wrong?” Ji Yunqi genuinely liked her mother-in-law, as she was easygoing and gentle, unlike that old man who always had a stern face towards her, as if she owed him millions.
Jiang Hua took Ji Yunqi’s hand and looked at the young girl in front of her, lost in thought.
She had heard the conversation between Ji Yunqi and Ye Lingyu just now.
It was just that her daughter had become a son, and her son-in-law had become her daughter-in-law, wasn’t it?
Over the years, she knew how hard her son-in-law had worked to take care of this family. Now that she had become such a well-behaved girl, she didn’t know how she was doing.
“I’ll call you daughter-in-law from now on, okay?”
“Ah?”
Ji Yunqi hadn’t reacted at all. Had she already become a daughter-in-law? But her wife hadn’t spoken yet, and she…
Forget it, it’s all the same anyway, it doesn’t matter.
“Okay, of course.”
“Tell me about some interesting things you’ve done during this time, okay?”
Ji Yunqi shook her head helplessly. This mother-in-law truly had a good mindset.
…
Half an hour later…
The sound of a key inserted into the door frame rang out. The voices of everyone in the room suddenly stopped, and their hearts seized.
As the door opened, Ye Mingkong’s figure appeared in front of everyone, and he was also stunned on the spot, completely not expecting so many people to be here.
And who were those two…
His parents!
“You…”
“Wife, come and sit down quickly.” Ji Yunqi stepped forward and pulled her to sit on the sofa, her eyes scanning back and forth between Ye Mingkong and Ye Lingyu.
Ye Lingyu only glanced at Ye Mingkong from the corner of his eye, not knowing what to say, fearing that he would be disliked if he said the wrong thing.
Ye Mingkong didn’t dare to look at Ye Lingyu and Jiang Hua at this moment. The fact that these two people were here clearly meant they already knew everything. It was likely that his younger husband and son both knew.
They had kept it from him and called him here, all for this matter, but he didn’t know if his father could accept him as he was now.
The father and daughter were both unclear about each other’s thoughts at this moment, but all of this could not escape Ji Yunqi’s eyes. Only she knew what the two people in front of her were thinking.
“Sigh…”
Ji Yunqi didn’t waste any time. She directly held Ye Lingyu’s and Ye Mingkong’s hands and placed them together. She could clearly feel both of their hands trembling.
“You two should have a good chat.”
Ji Yunqi could see that they both missed each other dearly. Even though they were both stubborn, it didn’t stop them from recognizing each other. At this moment, all they needed was an opportunity to communicate well.
As Ji Yunqi got up and walked towards the outside, Ji Chengyun and others followed.
“Mom, have a good chat with Grandpa. There are no conflicts that cannot be resolved between you.” After speaking, Ji Chengyun left with Ji Yunqi.
Only Ye Mingkong, Ye Lingyu, and Jiang Hua were left in the room.
“Chuchu, your son-in-law has told us some things. I’m sorry, it’s my fault. I haven’t seen you for so many years. Can you… accept Dad?”
Ye Mingkong’s eyes were already red. Decades of time had long since faded the conflicts. How could there be any unresolved matters between family members?
“Yes, Chuchu, your dad knows he was wrong. If you’re still not satisfied, you can slap him a couple of times. It’s okay.”
Ye Lingyu’s mouth twitched, but he didn’t explain. If it could vent his daughter’s anger, what did a couple of slaps to himself matter? He wouldn’t even mind being beaten.
Ye Mingkong, like Ye Lingyu, was straightforward. He didn’t like to say much about some things, but he would express his intentions through his actions.
Ye Mingkong turned around and hugged his father. Ye Lingyu also became teary-eyed at this moment. He knew that his daughter had forgiven him, and he no longer had to live in longing every day.
“Thank you, Chuchu.”
“You old man, you’re only coming after so many years. If it weren’t for the accident, you wouldn’t have seen me.”
Upon hearing this, Ye Lingyu also felt a sense of lingering fear. Yes, if it weren’t for the so-called “borrowing a corpse to return the soul,” they might never have met again.
…
On the park bench…
Ji Yunqi lay here leisurely, but her mood was not good, only because she seemed to be in trouble.
Just now, as soon as she reached the bottom of the building, Gu Yunlan sent her a message.
He said there was something very important to tell her, and that it involved her background, which made Ji Yunqi very unhappy. Background was the most troublesome thing.
She just wanted to live her own life now and didn’t want to be involved with others. However, she had once vowed to complete the unfinished business of this girl.
Her background was probably very important to her.
But this way, she would inevitably be drawn into a new family and be restricted everywhere, which made her very troubled.
“What should I do?”
…
