However, even if Hua Hua is really their grandson, when they go to Ye Qingās in-lawsā place to talk about it, they have to be low-key. This big family is all about face. If such a matter becomes widely known, they wonāt have any good consequences.
Compared to Li Liangās mother, Li Liangās father is thinking about this more.
The two of them have been out for a while now, in order to have an heir for the Li family, theyāve stayed patiently in the Capital City until almost New Year.
Staying at a guesthouse is too costly, so now the two of them have directly rented a place nearby for a month, preparing for a long campaign. If nothing goes wrong, they might even spend New Year here.
....
Since Han Yi was suddenly called back yesterday, he couldnāt accompany Lin Wan today, let alone catch up on sleep.
Lin Wan felt for him and quickly fried the beef she bought yesterday after he returned home, and then made him noodles, insisting he finish eating before leaving.
"If you want to go to the Mei Family, you can go to Uncleās place, and if not, stay home. I estimate itāll be over in three to five days. If Ye Qing causes any more trouble, go to Chen Haichang, he can help you."
Lin Wan shot him a look and laughed, "Arenāt you afraid of what Ye Qing said?"
"Only a fool from the Mei Family would believe that," Han Yi laughed, tugged Lin Wanās collar, and said, "Stay careful at home, take care of yourself, just donāt make me worry."
"Okay, rest assured, I can take care of myself."
After Han Yi left, Lin Wan took Little Star to the market to buy some daily supplies, then stayed home with Little Star.
Of course, Mei Haichang would occasionally come over for a meal, oh no, he came three times a day for meals.
For instance, on the night Han Yi left, he went back home, took a nap, and came over hungry to Lin Wanās house, where both mother and daughter were about to sleep, insistently asking Lin Wan to make him noodles.
Unwillingly, Lin Wan made him some scallion noodles, little did she expect that Mei Haichang would savor the casually prepared noodles, eating two bowls in a row.
He kept saying it was incredibly delicious. Little Star laughed at him.
To eat tasty food, Chen Haichang had learned from experience, bringing the ingredients he wanted directly every day, coaxing Lin Wan into making delicious meals for him.
Fearing Lin Wan would get tired, he also tugged Little Star to assist when cooking.
Lin Wan thought it wasnāt right to not visit for a few days but didnāt want to go to the hospital, so she took Little Star to her godmotherās house.
Fortunately, they went over when her godmother was at home, apparently just risen.
"Xingxing, Xiao Wan, youāre here. Have you eaten?" Liang Qianās hair was disheveled, she looked at the clock, it was already eleven.
Seeing them arrive, she was a bit flustered, "Last night, your godfather and I were at the hospital all night, came home this morning, and slept until now; your godfather has just left."
"Godmother, you should go sleep a bit more, Iāll make lunch." The reason Lin Wan came so late today was that Chen Haichang insisted she make lunch before leaving.
Lin Wan wanted him to eat out, but he claimed he had tired of all the restaurants in the Capital City.
Lin Wan didnāt understand; how long had Chen Haichang been in the Capital City to have already grown tired of the food, how picky he must be.
Liang Qian dared not let her cook, hurriedly getting dressed, "Iāll cook, Iāll cook, you and Xingxing warm yourselves by the stove."
"Godmother, donāt busy yourself for us, itās no problem for me to cook. In recent days, Third Uncle has been coming to my place for meals every day, Iāve cooked a lot."
"What? Third Uncle actually ate at your place?" Liang Qian said in surprise.
"Iāve just recently discovered he has quite the selective taste."
"Oh dear, how could Third Uncle make you cook for him every day? If he canāt cook, he should hire a housekeeper. Itās not right; I must tell him next time I see him."
Lin Wan imagined how her godmother would be at a loss for words, when faced with Third Uncle. Chen Haichangās articulate tongue would surely overpower her godmother.
The lunch ended up being cooked by her godmother.
"Godmother, how are things at the hospital?"
"Old Mr. Mei just had surgery on his leg yesterday, it was quite successful, although heās getting old and was restless last night."
"How was he restless?"
"Unbearable discomfort, just kept groaning throughout. Old Mrs. Mei originally didnāt have any major issues but seeing none of you visiting, she started acting up yesterday too."
Lin Wan found it amusing, "Could it be that Old Mrs. Mei is holding a grudge against us?"
