From the first day of the first month to the fifteenth day of the first month, it is all a day to visit relatives.

These customs have been passed down since ancient times, but they have changed with the times.

After all, busy people like Ye Ran and Feng Lingchen have a few days to rest, even if they are ordinary white-collar workers, they will go to work after the seventh day of the new year.

Therefore, in the second and third days of the new year, it is basically the peak period of New Year's greetings.

Ye Ranran's family of three set off early in the morning, but they still couldn't escape the nightmare of traffic jams. Looking sideways at the crowded traffic outside the window, his brow furrowed fiercely.

"According to this trend, I am afraid that next year's New Year's greetings will start before dawn."

Ye Dye involuntarily spit out a sentence, compared to five years ago, H City is indeed more prosperous. The most intuitive manifestation of this is the sharp rise in the number of people in the city.

"Don't bother, you can take a shortcut, but now we're stuck in the middle of this road."

Feng Lingchen held the steering wheel, and his expression was also a little unhappy. Probably no one can laugh out loud when they are stuck in traffic.

"Taking a shortcut?"

Ye Ran asked suspiciously, she grew up in Mayor H, and she really didn't know what shortcuts there were around here, which could lead directly to the Ye family's mansion.

"Well, it's just been opened in the past two years, but it's not officially opened yet."

Feng Lingchen nodded.

"Well, it looks like it's only going to be next year."

The two chatted along the way, Ye Xiaobei stayed alone in the back seat and played with toys, and he didn't feel bored, but when they arrived at their destination, the guy was already lying in the back seat and falling asleep.

Fortunately, this road is smooth, not rugged.

Ye Ranran unfastened the seat belt on his body, pushed open the door and walked down, then opened the back seat and picked up Ye Xiaobei, while Feng Lingchen drove the car into the parking garage.

"Dye, is Becky already asleep?"

As soon as they turned around, they saw Ye's father and Ye's mother standing not far away, watching them.

Ye Ranran nodded silently, and then followed them into the house, and put Ye Xiaobei into the room first, after all, on this cold day, if you don't pay special attention, you will be prone to colds.

Pulled the quilt, waited until the temperature in the room gradually rose, Ye Dye left, gently closed the door, and when he went downstairs, he saw Father Ye sitting on the sofa in the hall reading the newspaper at a glance, and Feng Lingchen next to him.

When they heard the movement, both of them looked up.

Ye Ran slightly hooked the corners of his lips, and then showed an extremely simple smile, "Dad, Happy New Year." ”

"Happy New Year, pay more attention to your body in the new year, don't only know work, as the saying goes, the body is the capital of the revolution."

Father Ye has always been serious because of his profession, and this gentle appearance is really rare.

The smile on Ye Ranran's face deepened, and after going downstairs, he sat down directly on the other side of Ye's father and held his arm affectionately.

"I know Dad, don't worry, you will pay attention to your body, but you, you have to take good care of it, there is a senior brother in the office, and you don't need to worry about it."

Ye's father opened a law firm in H City when he was young, and after decades of operation, his reputation has become more and more famous, and now the scale has expanded to dozens of people, and all of them are elite lawyers.

Most of them were apprentices brought out by Ye's father, so Ye Dye called them brothers or something.

"I know, I only go to see it once a week, and it's very relaxing."

Father Ye's always sharp eyes gradually softened, and even there was a faint smile in his voice, but this smile was not easy to detect at all.

The father and daughter chatted for a while, and the atmosphere in the hall gradually became cheerful and relaxed. Feng Lingchen interjected two sentences from time to time, and Ye Ran laughed.

When Ye Mu came out of the kitchen, she saw such a scene, her eyebrows and eyes were softer, and then a trace of bitterness appeared in her heart. Thinking of the bad things that had happened in the past, the feelings of remorse almost overwhelmed her.

He sighed silently, then carefully placed the plate in his hand on the dining table, turned around and went back into the kitchen again.

After two hours of busy work, lunch was ready to begin.

Ye Ran ran went upstairs to take a look at Ye Xiaobei, that little bean had not woken up yet, probably because he slept too late last night.

Not intending to wake up, he quietly left the room again.

"Dye, ready to eat."

Ye Mu saw her coming down from upstairs, and then whispered, with some unknown emotions between her words.

Ye Ran nodded lightly, but he didn't look at Ye Mu, and took out the dishes and chopsticks from the kitchen.

The four of them sat around the table like this, and the atmosphere was inexplicably a little stagnant.

Since Ye Ran ran walked into the Ye family, she had never seen Ye Xinxin, of course, the doubts in her heart were only fleeting, and she quickly left them behind, and she didn't explore too much.

"Dye, try this dish, this is the first time your mother has made it for you to eat since you returned to China."

Ye Mu smiled and helped Ye Dye with a chopstick dish, and then spoke softly. Hide a little bit of caution.

Ye Ran glanced at the woman opposite, and Ye Mu replied with a more gentle smile.

Looking away, he involuntarily pursed his lips, but said nothing.

The atmosphere of this meal was very weird, and Ye Mu was constantly taking care of Ye Ranran, as if Ye Ran was treating Ye Xiaobei with meticulous care.

Finally, lunch was over, and Father Ye and Feng Lingchen almost tacitly left the space to their mother and son.

After all, many knots in the heart still need to be untied by the parties involved.

"Dye, mom is sorry for you."

After being silent for a long time, Ye Mu suddenly spoke, with a little choking and deep guilt in her voice.

The emotions on Ye Ranran's face did not fluctuate for half a minute, and he didn't know where he was staring in a daze, if it weren't for the strange emotions that occasionally rolled in his eyes, he revealed his thoughts.

She didn't respond, just listened in silence.

"It's all because my mother didn't listen to your advice and hurt you."

Ye Mu unconsciously raised her hand to wipe the tears on her face, almost choked up and couldn't talk to herself.

It is undeniable that when she first learned that Ye Xinxin was pregnant, she was happy and worried.

But as time passed day by day, the flaws that Ye Xinxin inadvertently exposed were soon discovered by her.

Besides, Ye Mu herself is the director of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, and she has rich experience in this area.

Later, without waiting for her to question, Ye Xinxin had already gone to the crew to film, and then the news of the miscarriage came.

Everything was too much of a coincidence.

And the dramatic reversal in the back made her feel like a monkey, letting this adopted daughter play around.

Unfortunately, what happened is irreparable. She couldn't do anything but regret it in her heart.

Pushing her own daughter away, there is probably no one in this world who has failed more than her mother.

When I thought of this, I couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Ye Ran lowered her eyes slightly, making it impossible to see the emotions in her eyes, and she couldn't guess what she was thinking at the moment.

"In that case, there is no need to continue talking about it in the future."

I don't know how long it took, but I remembered it faintly in a low and gentle voice, without the slightest emotion.

She'd heard enough of that. How much I expected at the beginning, how much disappointment I am now.

After a pause in his tone, he continued to speak, "I'm not hurt, about Ye Xinxin... You can do whatever you want, and you adopted it anyway. ”

This appearance of being out of the matter like a stranger was completely like a sharp blade, which was fiercely inserted into the softest place in Ye Mu's heart, and it was instantly drenched in blood.

"Dye..."

Unconsciously said these two words, as if they lingered between his lips and teeth a thousand times.

The atmosphere in the hall was a little stagnant.

Ye Ran suddenly chuckled, raised his head to look at Ye Mu who was sitting opposite, her extremely bright eyes seemed to contain winter snow, pure and full of coldness.

"You don't need to feel guilty about me, you are my mother no matter what."

This is a helpless and unchangeable fact.

All of a sudden, I didn't want to continue talking.

Since she was a child, Mother Ye has always favored Ye Xinxin, and she has never said a word of complaint.

But now I suddenly don't want to continue to endure it.

looked at the middle-aged woman in front of her very seriously, even though she was not young, but because of the maintenance, she looked like she was only in her thirties. The temperament precipitated by the years and time is full of charm.

"Don't worry, no matter what, I will be filial to you and Dad."

The smile on Ye Ranran's face deepened, but I don't know why, looking at her like this, Ye Mu couldn't laugh at all.

That's the end of the conversation between the mother and daughter, a little nonsensical, but it seems to have all been explained.

When Ye Ranran left Ye's mother's room, he went downstairs and looked at Feng Lingchen who had returned to the sofa position, and then strode over.

"You're done talking?"

The man asked flatly.

Ye Ran smiled and nodded, but said nothing else.

On the contrary, Father Ye looked at Mother Ye who walked out after Ye Ranran, and then frowned slightly.

sighed silently in his heart, sure enough, such and such a misunderstanding cannot be solved in a while.
