After sitting down, he sneered,
"That's right. Taking someone in is already a great kindness of our Ling family. How can her status and treatment be higher than mine? I'm your only grandson. "
Hearing this, Ye Huanyan's face paled a little,
The old lady scolded Ling Han, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"..."
"If you can give birth to a fat boy in your stomach, you will be treated like this..."
Ling Han was slightly stunned. He frowned and glanced at Ye Huanyan, then sneered,
"Grandma, don't you watch the news? Grandson usually has so many women. If anyone could get pregnant so easily, then your courtyard would be very lively right now. At the very least, I still know the safety measures. "
After saying this, he seemed to be unsatisfied. He leaned back in his chair and sneered,
"I'm afraid some people's wishful thinking is going to fall through."
"Stinking brat!" The old lady couldn't stand it anymore. She raised her chopsticks and knocked Ling Han's head hard. "Who told you to talk nonsense? Don't give me any more food."
Ling Han suddenly turned his body, and the old lady missed. She was so angry that her head was about to explode. However, he still had a smile on his face. He picked up a piece of braised pork and placed it in the old lady's bowl,
"Grandma, eat the food..."
The old lady glared at him fiercely and comforted Ye Huanyan,
"Yan Yan, ignore him. I only recognize you as my granddaughter-in-law."
After saying this, the old lady's voice rose a few degrees. She turned around and glared at Ling Han fiercely,
"As for those coquettish women on TV, if he dares to bring them home, he can try!"
Ye Huanyan forced a smile, but her heart was filled with mixed feelings.
After dinner..,
Aunt Zhang accompanied the old lady to give out red packets for the New Year to the servants who were preparing to go home. Ye Huanyan distributed the gifts to them and left happily. The big old house suddenly became much colder.
The red lanterns at the entrance swayed in the wind. Ye Huanyan wrapped her coat tightly around herself and looked at them in a daze.
In the ten years since Jiang Meilan married her into the Ling Family, they had spent the Spring Festival here every year.
Perhaps it was because Ling Han's biological mother, Wen Qingwan, was too indifferent. Coupled with the fact that she was sickly and couldn't take care of everyone in the family, the old lady had always been dissatisfied with this daughter-in-law of hers. Apart from meeting her during festivals, there was almost no interaction between them.
After Jiang Meilan married into the Ling family, she took care of everything in an orderly manner. She gave out endless gifts during the New Year and festivals. She could think of everything that the Old Madam wanted. She could also think of things that the Old Madam couldn't think of in the future. Therefore, Wen Qingwan's death didn't bring too much pain to the Old Madam. Instead, Jiang Meilan's arrival comforted her.
This could be seen from her attitude towards Ye Huanyan.
When Jiang Meilan and Ling Dongming passed away in a car accident, the old lady was really sad. Not only for her only son, but also for this daughter-in-law who was so considerate. Therefore, after that, she cared more about Ye Huanyan and treated her as a member of the Ling Family from the bottom of her heart.
But in the end, she wasn't a member of the Ling Family.
Ye Huanyan's sigh disappeared in the cold wind. The chill from the tip of her nose made her come back to her senses,
"Miss Yan Yan, it's snowing. Let's go back in."
Aunt Zhang's voice came from behind.
Ye Huanyan was slightly stunned. She turned around and smiled. "I'll go back in a while."
"Oh, okay."
Aunt Zhang smiled at her and went back into the house with her sleeves tucked in.
While they were talking, the snowflakes became heavier. Heavy snow fell from the sky. It could be considered the heaviest snow since winter in Lanjiang City.
Timely snow promised a good harvest.
Khaki-Colored sheepskin boots walked along the bluestone all the way to her bedroom. She passed by Ling Han's study. The lights were still on inside, and the snowflakes outside the window were exceptionally clear.
Ye Huanyan stopped in front of his window for a while. She suddenly remembered how helpless she felt when it snowed two years ago.
At the end of the previous year, Ling Dongming and Jiang Meilan passed away in a car accident. During the entire Spring Festival, the Ling Family was busy with their funeral. Ling Han was even more busy with the company's equity dispute.
The Old Madam was someone who had been through a lot, but she couldn't handle the loss of her son in her later years. She collapsed before New Year's Eve and was hospitalized for a long time before she recovered.
At that time, everyone forgot that there was such a young lady in the Ling Family.
She stayed in the empty house every day. She didn't eat for several days until Ling Han came back from a business trip. He pulled her out of bed and forced her to drink a bowl of porridge.
Later, the Old Madam was discharged from the hospital. She stayed in the Ling Family Mansion for more than half a year and was depressed all the time.
After that, it was Ling Han who brought her back to the house in Fu Jin Garden. He would visit her every few days. It was his company that helped her slowly recover from the pain of losing her family.
At the end of the previous year, it happened to be the anniversary of Ling Dongming and Jiang Meilan's death. He even accompanied her to the cemetery and said in front of the grave that he would take good care of her in the future. The snow came early that year, earlier than this year.
She suddenly remembered that she hadn't gone to the cemetery this year.
When Jiang Meilan and Ling Dongming were traveling in Bali on the anniversary of their deaths, she wasn't in the country. Later on, she returned to the country covered in injuries. She didn't want to go to the cemetery to see Jiang Meilan with such a hurt look, so she put it aside.
Thinking of this, she raised her head and glanced at the study. She took a step forward, but when she thought of the conflict between Jiang Meilan and Wen Qingwan, she slowly retracted the step that she took.
In the study, the temperature of the floor heating made the entire room and the outside world seem like two different worlds.
Ling Han held a book in his hand and stood in front of the window. He frowned at the faint figure outside the door. She stopped in front of his door for a while, but in the end, she still left.
There were a few times when he wanted to push the door open and ask her what she wanted. There were also a few times when he thought that if she came in, he would reluctantly not lose his temper with her.
Just as she had said, the end of the year was approaching. No matter what grudges they had, he should let his grandmother have a good year.
Late at night,
A heavy snowfall covered Lanjiang City,
When she woke up, her eyes were filled with white, and the world had changed.
Ye Huanyan didn't sleep in. According to the old lady's habits, she had to start eating breakfast at seven in the morning.
Ling Han woke up late. When he rushed to the dining room with a yawn, he bumped into Ye Huanyan. She clutched her chest in shock and looked up at him in a daze.
"Can't you watch where you're walking?" Ling Han frowned,
"I'm sorry …"
She apologized softly, then turned to look at the old lady and walked out of the house with a gloomy expression.
The old lady saw all of this,
When Ling Han sat down to eat, she glared at him unhappily,
"Can you treat Yan Yan better? This child doesn't have a mother and is here alone. It's quite pitiful. Since you agreed to live with Yan Yan, you can't let Yan Yan feel that she has to live under someone else's roof, right?"
Ling Han looked up at the old lady. "You were the one who wanted me to live with her."
