The Male Lead’s Villainess Stepmother

Chapter 343 – Feeling relieved, the two of them travelled the world. (4)

With the demanding tasks like feeding and changing diapers being fought over, the several nannies that Secretary Lu had hired away from others with high salary were baffled as to the reasons that they were there.

The entire family was emerged in the joy of taking care of the little babies but Ye Hengjia had a little problem of his own and he looked for an opportunity to talk about it with Yan Shuyu privately.

“Grandpa complained to me over the New Year that Dad refused to go to any of the arranged dates that she had set up for him. She asked me to talk to Dad…”

Yan Shuyu asked curiously, “Why did she ask you to talk to him? Can’t your grandparents talk to him themselves?”

Ye Hengjia shook his head. He wasn’t exactly siding with them but he could feel their pain. “They had aged a lot in the last couple of years. Perhaps they worried too much about Dad. A few times Grandma broke down in tears when she mentioned Dad.”

Now Yan Shuyu was surprised. She hadn’t been seeing the Ye family a lot ever since her son had been officially added onto their genealogy. At most she had met up with Father and Mother Ye once every three – five years. It wasn’t like they had a lot in common to talk about. She found that hard to believe, nevertheless, “What is going on with your dad?”

“Nothing. They just want him to be with someone. They said that his childhood was sad enough and that he would be all alone again after they have passed away without someone to even talk to. It’s very sad.”

Ye Hengjia had mixed feeling about this as well. He didn’t fully grasp it when he was earlier and only slowly figuring out what had happened back in the days. Sometimes he thought that it was all his grandparents’ fault and nobody else’s. But they had always loved him unconditionally since he was a child. As soon as he was of age legally, his grandmother had transferred over all of her shares to him. Should he decide to join the board of directors, he would have as much say as his father did. Also happening when he was 18 was his performance on New Year Eve. His name had become a household name ever since then. He had been known with his achievement in piano since he was a child and was somewhat known within the entertainment circle as well as internationally. That being said, he was aware that many more senior than him were more talented than he was. If it wasn’t his grandfather’s behind-the-scene effort, he probably had another six to seven more years to go to be able to get onto this stage.

The couple had made sure that his future would be as smooth as possible. Ye Hengjia felt bad for his mother on one hand but also had mixed feeling toward the old couple.

Yan Shuyu, on the other hand, didn’t think that far. Lamented a little, she asked, “Well, what are you thinking?”

Ye Hengjia said with slight embarrassment, “I feel that Dad is quite fond of little sister. He is still young now. Having another little sister in another year or so isn’t a bad idea at all.” One could never have too many soft and cute little sisters, right?

Ye Hengjia couldn’t help but looked over at Yan Shuyu, worried that she would not like that idea very much.

Yan Shuyu waved her hand without a shred of worries. “Then you really should have a good talk with him.:

“Okay.” Ye Hengjia smiled and nodded, as though a burden had been lifted off of him.

What he didn’t mention was that his grandmother subtly and not-so-subtly suggested for his mother to help talk to his dad. He knew as well as anyone else that if anyone could change his dad’s mind on this matter, it would be his mother.

He also understood that his mother and father had been separated for many years and no longer had anything to do with each other. Anyway they look at it, his mother should be get involved in this.

What they didn’t know was that her words really didn’t carry as much weight as they thought. She had already told Ye Rongchen exactly that some ten years ago that he should get married and have children if the opportunities arose but he never listened. As such, it was no surprise that Ye Hengjia had failed to talk him into it as well.

Ye Rongchen remained a single, handsome man and never even dated again, never mind getting married, even after the Zhou family’s little princess had gotten married.

Yan Shuyu, chic as usual, also did not partake in caring for her young grandsons and granddaughters as a young grandmother. Her second daughter-in-law was that virtuous female lead in the original novel. Without the need to be the bridge between the male lead and his father, the female lead had turned into a crazy baby-lover and loved not only her own children but also her nieces and nephews. She was short of opening up her own daycare center.

Yan Shuyu, completely freed from all responsibilities, was able to travel the world with the now retired boss.
