Reborn in the 70s: Pampered by Regiment Commander-Chapter 1214 - 802: Looking For Him_2

"We are just like ordinary folks now..." Thinking about all the exclusion she faced when living at Grandpa’s house, Jiang Meixiang’s face darkened, "We are even less than ordinary folks. If this house is repossessed, we will have to move back to Grandpa’s house."

"All because of your father, that scoundrel. If he hadn’t returned the house, we wouldn’t be in this mess...!" Che Yali sighed bitterly, her eyes filled with desolation, "Thinking about it, I am really foolish. Even knowing that your father did it to completely break away from me, I still think of him. Not only do I want to be with him, I also hope he will be reinstated so no one will laugh at us. Ah, women..."

After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Meixiang still asked, "What if Dad still won’t reconcile with you?"

"Then let him go farm the land."

"Mom, your relationship with Dad isn’t really true love. You see, the condition you set for him is that he must give you everything.

True love should be selfless. Since Mom can’t be selfless, you shouldn’t force Dad to be selfless, right?"

"Are you my real daughter?" Che Yali frowned at her daughter, clearly displeased.

"Precisely because I’m your real daughter, I am frankly analyzing it for you, so that you can reduce your resentment and avoid losing your mind and regretting it later."

After a long silence, Che Yali looked at her daughter, "Meixiang, you’re stronger than me. When I was young, I wasn’t as capable as you in letting go.

Actually, thinking back now, if I hadn’t married your father, I might have married a better man. Your father didn’t really care about feelings. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

A man who doesn’t care about feelings can’t genuinely cherish his wife and children. Your grandmother warned me back then, but I didn’t listen.

You are really stronger than me. As soon as the other party shows a hint, you can decisively cut it off without clinging on. That ability to let go is actually akin to your father."

Is that suggesting she, like Dad, isn’t emotional? Jiang Meixiang looked at her mother with a blank expression, staying silent. In truth, her mother was right; if her mother hadn’t provided her a place to live, a ray of hope, she might have sought out her father long ago.

Here the mother and daughter were waiting excitedly yet conflicted, while Zhou Mikang had already gone to the Ye residence.

Since returning to City A, Meiru had been living in the old Ye residence. Although there was some ruckus occasionally, ultimately Old Master Ye couldn’t bear to let her move out. After all, she’s his flesh and blood, plus she had a miscarriage before. No matter how angry he was, he couldn’t ignore her health and the need to care for her.

"Xiaomi?" Seeing Zhou Mikang, Old Master Ye was quite happy; he was truly a rare guest for him. Although the two families had resumed relations, it was mostly him visiting the Zhou family; the Zhou family never came by, making Zhou Mikang the first.

"Grandpa, there’s something I need to tell you..." Zhou Mikang solemnly looked at Old Master Ye, "Can we talk in the study?"

"Alright." Old Master Ye stood up and gestured to Grandma Ye and his daughter-in-law Qiang Yuxian who were looking over expectantly, "Tell the kitchen to start preparing lunch, let Xiaomi eat at home for lunch."

"No need, I’ll leave right after I finish talking." Zhou Mikang refused without a second thought, and by his expression, one could tell he was not speaking out of courtesy.

"You..." Old Master Ye shook his head helplessly, taking the lead to walk towards the study.

"This child is getting increasingly arrogant..." Grandma Ye grumbled displeased, "How many can prompt your father to stay for a meal?"

"Mom, perhaps he really has something to do." Qiang Yuxian quickly mediated, not daring to agree with her mother-in-law, as it would surely cause trouble if it reached her father-in-law.

Ten minutes later, Zhou Mikang emerged from the study, nodded at the mother-in-law pair, and quickly vanished.

Grandma Ye froze for a moment, hurriedly went to knock on the study door, "Old Ye, what are you doing inside, is everything alright?"

"Fine." Old Master Ye responded, his voice filled with fatigue; a biting dog doesn’t bark, that was his deepest feeling now.

In the evening, as usual, Meiru returned home on time after work, entered with a cheerful greeting to her grandmother and mother, and then voluntarily ran to the kitchen to help.

During this period, she seemed like a changed person; Old Master Ye once thought she truly realized her mistakes, yet... watching the busy figure with complicated eyes, Old Master Ye finally made up his mind.

Qiang Yuxian had been observing the Old Master’s expression the whole time, feeling anxious and frightened. After Zhou Mikang’s departure, the old man stayed in the study for an hour before coming out, and although he said nothing upon coming out, she felt inexplicably uneasy, and now she almost confirmed Zhou Mikang came to discuss matters concerning her daughter, so...

Taking advantage that the old man wasn’t paying attention, Qiang Yuxian edged closer to her daughter, whispered, "Grandpa may have found out, you should prepare yourself mentally."

Meiru’s body trembled slightly, softly "hmm-ed."

Actually, she had anticipated this day for a while, but even knowing it, she couldn’t restrain the urge to do something. Some things are like this; clearly, a moth to a flame, yet it is essential to try, no matter the outcome, one must face their destiny...

Sitting beside Old Master Ye, Grandma Ye sighed quietly; people, really cleverness can be overplayed to their own misfortune, such small actions cannot deceive an observant elder like him.

"Old man..." Meeting the Old Master’s gaze, Grandma Ye swallowed her words, knowing there’s no point in speaking what’s useless, it would only add trouble. (To be continued.
