Chapter 1527: Chapter 1284: I Hate Him More Than You Do (Part 2)

Ye Mingmei blinked and asked, "Where to?"

"Song Family Mansion!"

...

It had been a while since Ye Mingmei last returned to the old mansion.

Yu Yao was somewhat affected by the news of Liang Yue’e’s death, and Ye Mingmei going there might help ease Yu Yao’s mood.

Coincidentally, Ye Mingmei wasn’t feeling well either, and perhaps going to the old mansion might help relieve her tension.

This was what Shi Nuan thought, the reason Song Yansheng wanted to take them to the old mansion.

Song Yansheng drove personally, with Shi Nuan and Ye Mingmei sitting in the back seat, and Ye Mingmei’s mood seemed indeed much better.

She spoke about how the cook at the Song Family Mansion made unrivaled delicacies, along with little desserts and snacks that couldn’t be found even on the streets.

Seeing Ye Mingmei like this, Shi Nuan truly envied her. Some people in this world find it incredibly difficult to live a bit easier.

The three of them arrived at the Song Family Mansion amidst Ye Mingmei’s chattering, and since Song Yansheng had called ahead, Aunt Tong was already at the door with others to welcome them.

Song Yansheng noticed a few pots of green bamboo at the door and frowned slightly, "Who sent these?"

Aunt Tong replied, "It was... it was Miss Chu who sent them! I’m sorry, sir, I honestly didn’t..."

"Alright, don’t say any more..." Aunt Tong had made a mistake once and wouldn’t make the same mistake again.

At least, she wouldn’t dare to be so blatant about it.

Thus, Song Yansheng believed that these few pots of bamboo were kept at his mother’s behest.

Regarding Chu Jingyun, Song Yansheng felt he had explained it clearly enough to Shi Nuan, and in the past six months, there hadn’t been much concern with Chu Jingyun, so the little girl shouldn’t take it to heart.

Shi Nuan remained silent, but beside her, Ye Mingmei blinked and asked, "Nanny Tong, is the Miss Chu you mentioned the woman who keeps haunting my Brother Yu?"

Aunt Tong frowned, unsure of how to respond.

Ye Mingmei didn’t mind, saying, "If it’s her, then when you see her next, tell her for me that my Brother Yu doesn’t like her type. She should come out less often to bother people, wasting that beautiful rich girl look of hers!"

Aunt Tong still didn’t know what to say, but Song Yansheng spoke calmly, "Since mother likes the bamboo, why don’t you have someone move them to the backyard..."

He then invited Shi Nuan and Ye Mingmei, "It’s cold outside, let’s go in quickly, don’t keep the elders waiting too long!"

Yu Yao really liked Ye Mingmei, and as soon as Ye Mingmei saw Yu Yao, she fondly called out, "Mother Yu, Mother Yu."

Knowing Ye Mingmei was coming, Yu Yao had prepared lots of little snacks and asked the kitchen to make more meat dishes for lunch.

After sitting for a while, Yu Yao felt a bit tired and wanted to go upstairs to rest. Ye Mingmei offered to accompany her, but she shook her head and refused, "You and your little sister-in-law stay downstairs for snacks, let your Brother Yu accompany me!"

This implied that Shi Nuan didn’t need to go along.

Shi Nuan watched the backs of Song Yansheng and Yu Yao with envy.

She thought, if her mother were still alive, she’d happily hold her mother’s hand like that.

Upstairs, Yu Yao and Song Yansheng reached the bedroom, and after Yu Yao sat down, Song Yansheng draped a blanket over her legs.

"Since the rain, it seems your legs have been hurting again these past two days, mother!"

Yu Yao said, "It’s an old ailment, I’ve gotten used to it!"

Song Yansheng walked behind Yu Yao and massaged her neck, saying, "Things have changed, many things are destined, it’s better if mother lets go a little!"

Yu Yao laughed, "At my age, what do I have to not let go of? But you, you are too persistent, even stubborn, it worries me!"

Song Yansheng’s thin lips moved slightly, saying, "Mom, I’m already thirty years old..."

"So what if you’re thirty? At thirty, you’re still my son..."

Song Yansheng said no more.

Yu Yao sighed and said, "Alright, enough with the polite words, it’s time to discuss serious matters. A Yu, if you need my help with anything, just say it!"

Song Yansheng was slightly taken aback, "Mom, you..."

"You want to ask how I knew, right?"

Yu Yao smiled faintly and said, "Actually, yesterday your brother, Gu Zheng, came to see me... He said that some words would be inappropriate for you as a son to speak, so he came and said them. Maybe he was also worried that you’d ultimately regret it and wouldn’t speak up..."

Song Yansheng frowned, unsure of what to say.

Yu Yao said, "Actually, A Yu, there are some things I should have told you a long time ago. Back then, when Zhong Jinnan helped us, indeed, he proposed a shameful condition, and I agreed. But I intended to declare my resolve by death afterward. Zhong Jinnan probably feared I would truly die and ultimately spared me, but he still did what he promised to help us..."
