After many years of marriage, she was reborn

Wei Lan took the initiative to ask me out

The next day, just after daybreak, my grandfather got up early and kept urging me to go back to my husband's house.

The early morning sunlight shines through the window and gently falls on a corner of the room.

I was still immersed in a sweet dream, wrapped tightly in the quilt.

Grandpa woke me up softly, "Yiyi, don't sleep in anymore. You've been with me for a long time this time. I guess your in-laws are worried about you."

There was a hint of concern and anxiety in grandpa's voice.

I opened my eyes blearily and saw my grandfather's kind face.

I rubbed my eyes and a warm feeling surged in my heart.

She knew that I had been away for a long time this time, and my mother-in-law should be starting to worry about me.

Although he always told me to spend time with grandpa on the phone, I couldn't tell you how much he missed me in his heart.

My mother-in-law has always cared about me, and I don’t want to make her worry.

I sat up, stretched, and said to my grandfather, "Okay, Grandpa, I got it. I will go back as soon as possible and not let them worry."

My tone was filled with reluctance to leave my grandfather and concern for my in-laws.

Grandpa smiled and nodded, his eyes full of satisfaction.

My grandfather knows that I am a sensible child and will understand my family’s concerns.

After I got up, I started to pack my things.

I packed my clothes into the suitcase.

Before leaving, my grandfather and I hugged each other tightly.

Then I stepped out of the room, facing the rising sun, and set out on the road back to my husband's house.

My heart is filled with longing for my family and expectations for the future.

I know that no matter where she goes, the love of her family will be with her.

Baby, drive slowly. Send a message to grandpa when you get home.

Grandpa said to me with a look of reluctance.

Grandpa, please go into the house. It’s very cold outside. I will come back to see you in a few days.

I said to my grandfather with a smile in the car.

Yiyi, grandpa can handle it alone, so don't worry and don't come home so often.

You are married now and you have your own family to take care of.

The most important thing now is to have a baby as soon as possible to consolidate your position in the Pei family.

Don't dislike my nagging. Everything I say is for your own good.

I interrupted my grandfather and said, "Grandpa, I understand. Please go into the house quickly. I will see you go in with my own eyes before I drive away."

Yiyi, I'll go in then. Drive slowly and remember to tell grandpa when you get home.

After saying that, grandpa walked into the house, looking back every few steps.

After grandpa entered the house, I sat in front of the car window, holding a cup of milk tea in my hand, but staring into the distance.

People around me were persuading me, emphasizing the importance of having a child in consolidating my position in the Pei family.

These words echoed in my ears from time to time, making me feel irritated and uneasy.

I know that in a wealthy family like the Pei family, children are seen as the key to continuing the family bloodline and consolidating status.

But deep down inside I am filled with contradictions and struggles.

I long to pursue my career and personal dreams, and I don't want to rely entirely on my children for my life just because my position is secure.

However, the expectations and pressure around me kept coming, making me feel overwhelmed.

I couldn't help but fall into confusion and bewilderment about the future, not knowing how to find a balance between family expectations and personal pursuits.

Perhaps, I need time and inner determination to make the decision that is best for me.

Just then, my phone rang.

Jingle bells, jingle bells…

My thoughts were interrupted by a ringing sound and I pulled my phone out of my bag.

My mother-in-law called.

I calmed myself down and answered the call from my mother-in-law.

Yiyi, is your grandfather feeling better? Your father and I want to come and see him.

Your dad and I were not considerate enough. Your in-laws' grandfather was sick, and your dad and I should have gone to see him earlier.

It has been delayed for so long, your father and I feel very guilty. We had agreed that our two families would sit down together and have a good meal, but it was delayed by many things.

I'll call Xiaodi later and ask him to come to grandpa's house after get off work. Then our two families can have a meal together?

My mother-in-law said to me self-blamingly.

Mom, let’s get together another day. Grandpa just came back from outside and I don’t think he’s in a very good mental state.

I want grandpa to rest at home for a while. We can make another appointment when he has recovered.

By the way, Mom, I’m on my way back now and will be home soon.

I'm really sorry. Grandpa hasn't been in good health recently, and you and my dad have been troubled by all the family matters during this period.

Mom, have you seen Pei Di in the past few days? Has he called you or sent you a message?

I asked my mother-in-law tentatively.

What's wrong, Yiyi? Did you and Xiaodi have a fight? Didn't you go to relax with your grandfather-in-law?

My mother-in-law asked me with a puzzled look.

It was obvious that the mother-in-law knew nothing about Pei Di's recent movements.

Pei Di hasn't been home recently. Where could he have gone recently?

I quickly explained, "Mom, look at my brain. Recently, because of Grandpa's health, I can't remember a lot of things."

Yiyi, I'm glad you and Xiaodi are okay. You scared me to death. I thought you and Xiaodi had a conflict.

If Xiaodi does something that makes you unhappy, tell me and mom will help you deal with it.

The mother-in-law spoke to me with a biased look on her face.

I quickly explained, "Mom, don't worry about you and my dad. Pei Di and I are fine. Mom, I won't talk to you anymore. I'm hanging up first. I'll be home soon."

Yiyi, then drive slowly. Your dad and I are waiting for you at home. Whatever you want to eat, your mom will cook for you.

I guess you haven’t been eating very well outside recently. When you come back, your mother will cook for you and nourish you well.

My mother-in-law continued to nag at me.

Thanks, Mom. I won’t say any more. We’ll talk when I get back. Bye, Mom.

Bye bye.

I had just hung up the phone with my mother-in-law when a message suddenly came in.

I thought it was sent by my mother-in-law and didn’t look at it carefully.

When I drove to the door of my house and picked up my phone, it turned out to be a message from Wei Lan.

"Sister Ruyi, long time no see. How are you doing recently? Can we meet?"

I held the phone and hesitated for a long time. Could it be that Wei Lan took the initiative to ask me out to provoke me?

Five years ago, if she hadn't come between Pei Di and me, Pei Di and I wouldn't have come to this point.

Apparently, five years later, she was openly challenging me. She underestimated me.

I am no longer the naive and innocent person I was five years ago.

If you want to bully me again, you should consider your own weight.

Five years later, I feel much more confident in the Pei family than I did five years ago.

With the strong support of my mother-in-law and father-in-law, do I still need to worry about not being able to stay in the Pei family?

Without any hesitation, he replied confidently, "Okay, see you at the usual place."
