Guan Tang quickly said, “He’ll be fine. Don’t worry, Aunty. You must maintain composure so others won’t see you as a joke.”
Guan Ning smiled bitterly. “Haven’t I been a joke for a long time?”
Guan Tang looked as though she had done something wrong. She did not dare to say anything and lowered her head silently.
…
Before dinner, Yin Bin’s car pulled into the driveway.
Guan Ning sneered.
As for Guan Tang, she understood that it must be Old Master Yin’s wish for Yin Bin to return to meet his potential son-in-law. It seemed like everything was to pave the way for Cheng Che’s return to the family.
When Yin Bin walked in, he asked, “Is Yin Jia back?”
“No. You’re back early today,” Guan Ning said gently.
At this time, Yin Bin saw Guan Tang standing behind his wife. He nodded slightly at her before he said, “Guan Tang, although you’ve moved out, you have to come back often to accompany your aunt. Have you settled down in your new house? Do you need anything? Tomorrow, I’ll ask my secretary to transfer 200,000 yuan to you so you can buy the things you need. You’ve been wronged. Don’t worry, your aunt and I know what to do.”
Guan Tang smiled. “Thank you, Uncle.”
Guan Tang was pleased with Yin Bin’s words. It meant that Old Master Yin had come to a conclusion about her and Cheng Che’s matter.
As for Guan Ning, she did not know whether to feel happy or pity for Guan Tang.
At this moment, Yin Yi walked in. “Sister isn’t back yet?”
Then, Yin Yi looked around the room with a slightly disappointed expression. However, it was quickly replaced with a happy expression as she said, “I’ll quickly go and touch up my makeup. Cousin, come and help me pick out my clothes. Aiya, why are you dressed so plainly today? This won’t do. I have to show my new brother-in-law our family’s good genes. I haven’t worn the dress we bought together last time. You can wear it first!”
Yin Yi did not wait for Guan Tang’s response and pulled Guan Tang upstairs.
Yin Bin doted on his younger daughter very much. He smiled and asked, “Can you be more mature?”
Naturally, Yin Yi could not be bothered with her father at this moment.
Yin Bin and Guan Ning sat on the couch. As Guan Ning poured a cup of tea for Yin Bin, she asked, “Have you spoken to the Old Master about Yin Jia?”
Guan Ning knew her husband very well. A puppet would not be willing to admit he was a puppet. Hence, she had to be careful with her words.
Yin Bin took a sip from the cup before he slowly said, “He’s already on his way here.”
Guan Ning could not help but exclaim in surprise, “The Old Master is on his way?!”
Yin Bin nodded proudly. “It’s only natural that he’s concerned about this matter. Cheng Che and Yin Jia are both important people in the Yin family.”
‘Important people? Then, what about my son?’ Guan Ning thought to herself as she suppressed her anger. Outwardly, she said, “Then, I’ll tell the kitchen to prepare more food.”
Yin Bin nodded. “Prepare dishes that old man likes.”
Guan Ning nodded and hurried into the kitchen.
…
Yin Jia and Ye Cheng sat together closely in the car. During the journey, she introduced the members of her family to him. When she was done, she sighed and said, “Although I have a huge family, I’m just like an orphan.”
Ye Cheng squeezed her hand gently as he said, “It’s okay. It’s good to be independent as well; you only need to consider your own feelings. You don’t have to care about others.”
Yin Jia smiled bitterly. “Well, if I were really an orphan, that would be great. Then, there would truly be no need for me to consider anyone or anything. Alas, I’m treated like an orphan, and yet, I still have to consider my family.”
Ye Cheng reached and pulled her into his embrace. “Don’t be sad. In the future, when we have our own home, I’ll shelter you from the wind and rain. All you have to do is to live as you want. You can cry and laugh whenever you want; there’s no need to suppress yourself.”
Yin Jia’s heart was suffused with warmth upon hearing these words.
