"Yes, all thanks to Doctor Zhu!" Ji Niandong nodded in agreement, glanced down at the Little Bun, pursed her lips, and suddenly pondering something, said to Li Yi in front, "Li Yi, take me to the Ancient Garden!"
"Huh?" Li Yi thought he had misheard.
"Take me and Nian Nian to the Ancient Garden!" Ji Niandong instructed again.
Li Yi quickly turned the car around and headed for the Ancient Garden!
Ji Niandong hurriedly called Lu Beichen, "Little Uncle, wait for me at the Ancient Garden, Nian Nian and I are coming over right away!"
"Nian Nian is with you now?" Lu Beichen had already been leaving by car.
"Yes! Dad is just worried I won’t be a good stepmother, afraid I’ll be wronged. As long as he knows Nian Nian and I get along well, he shouldn’t make things difficult for us anymore!"
Lu Beichen was silent for a few seconds, then nodded, "Alright!"
He instructed the driver in front, "Go back to the Ancient Garden!"
When Ji Niandong arrived at the Ancient Garden, Lu Beichen’s car was just parked at the entrance. As soon as he got out, he waved his hand, signaling the driver to leave.
Li Yi parked the car, and Ji Niandong got out with Lu Sinian, leading him towards Lu Beichen.
When He Meijuan opened the door and saw the three of them as a family, she couldn’t help being stunned, "Tongtong! Tongtong, you’ve come back?"
She joyfully turned her head to call inside the house, then gestured for them to come in!
Ji Niandong had just taken a few steps inside when her face changed upon seeing the people in her home.
Li Yi quickly closed the door, and Shen Congjun couldn’t help but be taken aback.
The room fell silent for a few seconds, until the Little Bun broke the silence first, "Sister Tongtong, is this your old home?"
Shen Congjun’s gaze fell on Lu Sinian’s face, then he looked at Lu Beichen and stepped back a few steps, standing next to Ji Guoqiang.
"Aunt He, you’re here too?" Ji Niandong was the first to greet He Meijuan beside her, then introduced, "This is my husband, and this is my husband’s son, who now is also my son! Nian Nian, say hello to Grandma He!"
Lu Sinian pouted and quietly said, "Hello, Grandma He!"
He was fair-skinned, although small in stature, his round face was rosy, making him look adorable and lovable.
He Meijuan chuckled happily, whispering, "I was just advising your dad for a long time, your dad is just worried about you, you should talk things over now that you’re back, so I... I’ll just head back first!"
"Please stay!" Ji Niandong said, prompting both He Meijuan and Ji Guoqiang to look at her in disbelief.
She had always known her dad and He Meijuan were in love. In the past, she pretended not to know or deliberately acted like she disliked it. Now that she’s married and a stepmother to Nian Nian, she realizes everyone has their struggles!
He Meijuan had always been attentive to her, visiting almost daily during the five years she stayed home to chat and relieve her boredom. Although Ji Niandong knew she was trying to please her and build a good relationship, she always responded with indifference.
"Aunt He, please stay! You’ve taken care of me for so many years, just like family!"
"This... this," He Meijuan looked a little emotional as she glanced at Ji Guoqiang.
Only then did Ji Guoqiang speak, "You should stay!" After he spoke, he turned to Ji Niandong saying, "Don’t think that by doing this, I will forgive you for what you’ve done!"
