Chapter 823: No One from the Ye Family Dared Offending Her
The Old Madame was chatting with her two children in the living room.
She was now 96 years of age and her vision was failing, so everything seemed blurry to her. After her youngest son Ye Zhiyuan pa.s.sed away, she found herself relying more on her two daughters, Ye Lanfeng and Ye Helian.
She especially relied on her second daughter Ye Helian who would often spend time with her.
“Helian, is Kexin here?” she asked anxiously as she gripped her daughter’s hand. She kept looking toward the gate of Pear Garden where she could make out the blurry figures of people walking in but she couldn’t make out their faces.
“Kexin…” Ye Helian looked a little worried at the mention of her only daughter. “She said she was feeling a little upset, so she went overseas.”
“What’s wrong?” the Old Madame asked. “Are you saying that she hasn’t found someone suitable for her?”
Ye Helian sighed and said, “Exactly. She’s already 28 years old but she can’t find someone that she actually likes.
“Wasn’t she dating the eldest son of the Su family? Did they break up?” the Old Madame asked with a frown. She was very concerned about the well-being of her niece since her only living children were now her daughters, so she was very concerned about her daughter’s affairs.
“Are you referring to Su Ye? Sigh… mom, forget it. Don’t mention it any longer,” Ye Helian said in annoyance.
She was hoping that her daughter would be able to marry into a rich family and all the rich families longed to marry their daughters into the Su family, so why would she be an exception?
She was so thrilled when she heard that they were dating that she couldn’t sleep for several days.
However, Su Ye turned out to be a playboy and had merely been toying with the feelings of her daughter. He didn’t show any sincerity at all and the jewelry he gave her daughter that cost several thousand dollars were all nothing to him. He was now dating some university lecturer who was so average-looking and couldn’t match to her daughter in every aspect, and this drove her hopping mad.
The Old Madame frowned and also thought that it was a pity that this match didn’t work out.
At the same time, Han Xue led her precious son Ye Chenyu into the room. She immediately went up to hold the Old Madame’s hand and said, “Granny, I’m Han Xue and I’ve brought your great-grandson to see you.”
Han Xue beamed widely and it was some time before she managed to calm herself down.
The Old Madame beamed happily when she heard that her great-grandson was here.
“That’s great! Come, bring him to me,” she said.
She stroked her great-grandson and her happiness was reflected all over her face. She was past ninety years of age, so it wasn’t the first time she was a great-grandmother but this was her first great-grandson.
She felt like she could die without regrets now that she had lived to see her great-grandson.
“Great-grandmother,” Ye Chenyu said softly with his head bowed. He looked very shy in front of his great-grandmother.
The Old Madame took out the present that she had prepared beforehand. It was an exquisite jade pendant that had been pa.s.sed down the Ye family for generations. It was an item that was bestowed to their ancestor Ye Yusheng who had served Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty as the imperial doctor and had a history of 5,00 years.
This was a precious gem that was handed down across generations, so the fact that the Old Madame had given it to her great-grandson showed how much she loved him.
“Thank you,” Ye Chenyu said politely. He didn’t know how valuable this item was but he still thanked his great-grandmother politely when his mother nudged him.
Han Xue beamed so brightly that she felt her face go numb. She felt that this was the happiest day of her life.
She could tell that no one dared offending her even though they didn’t like her and they accorded her due respect because Chenyu was the future successor of the Ye Group, so no one dared to get on her bad side.
Her only regret was that Ye Hao wasn’t here to bask in this glory alongside her today.
