Guan Hong shook her head, her tone firm.

"I won't say anything. It will embarrass Yinyin. Besides, I don't plan to ask Yinyin to attend. Although Yinyin is Dad's granddaughter, Dad has already cut off the relationship with Yinyin by doing this. Why should I ask her to celebrate Dad's birthday just because of this relationship?"

Zhuang Yuanqing understood his wife's thoughts and asked again,

"Dad, everyone knows that you have found Yinyin, but you didn't say you would bring her to the event?" Based on his brother-in-law's character of "putting the overall situation first", Zhuang Yuanqing felt that he should do so.

Sure enough, Guan Hong nodded and said,

"My eldest brother called and asked me to bring Yinyin with me, hoping to take this opportunity to ease the relationship." My eldest brother has always been like this. For the sake of family harmony, he would rather do things that even he himself thinks are wrong.

"I told my eldest brother that this matter is not enough to ease the relationship, and there is no need to ease it at the moment. Dad still doesn't think he was wrong in abandoning Yinyin. If we insist on easing the relationship, Yinyin will only be wronged. So, there is no need, and it doesn't matter now."

Zhuang Yuanqing nodded in understanding and turned to talk about another matter.

"When is the birthday?"

An elderly person’s birthday celebration does not necessarily take place on their birthday. Sometimes, they will choose a weekend for convenience.

"Yes......"

Li Yin didn't listen anymore. She walked lightly to the sofa in the living room and sat down, thinking over and over again about the conversation she had just heard.

It sounded like it was his nominal grandfather who was going to celebrate his birthday, but Aunt Guan didn't want to tell him in order not to embarrass him.

Yes, if she was really asked, Li Yin would not go. When that person abandoned her, their family relationship no longer existed.

Li Yin was very moved by what Aunt Guan just said. After all, as people of the older generation, most people have been stubborn in protecting family ties. But she was able to put herself in her shoes and silently block everything out for her. If she accidentally heard it in her heart, she might not know about this protection.

Those who truly love you will never use their care for you as a bargaining chip to ask for your return.

After dinner, the two of them sat for a while before leaving. An An sat on the low stool at the door and put on his shoes obediently. After changing, he stepped on the floor a little harder, looked up and said to Guan Hong who was looking at him,

"Grandma, I'm going back first. I'll come to see you next time."

His little schoolbag was in his mother's hand, and inside it were some freshly made cakes by his grandmother.

Guan Hong hugged her little grandson with great affection, and her heart was filled with love.

Li Yin was also putting on her shoes, Guan Hong stood up and said to Li Yin,

"Drive slowly on the road, and send a message when you get home."

Li Yin nodded, paused, looked into Guan Hong's eyes again, and said with a smile,

"Okay, Mom, you should get some rest too."

Guan Hong opened her eyes wide in disbelief and froze on the spot. Everything around her seemed to be silent, with only the word "Mom" echoing in her mind. Tears welled up in her eyes instantly, but she was afraid that she had heard it wrongly, so she swallowed the sob that followed and asked uncertainly,

"Yinyin, you just called me..."

"Yeah, Mom."

Seeing her like this, Li Yin couldn't help but feel a lump in her throat. She took a step forward, hugged the person in front of her, and whispered in her ear,

"Mom, thank you."

Guan Hong's tears welled up in her eyes. After so many years, she finally heard her biological daughter call her "Mom".

She hugged Li Yin back and quickly wiped away her tears. The two hugged each other for a while and then separated. Guan Hong was crying and laughing. An An, who was standing aside and watching, felt very confused, but he could understand the tears, so he went forward and hugged Guan Hong's thighs, and said softly,

"Grandma, don't cry."

As soon as these words came out, Guan Hong and Li Yin both laughed. Guan Hong even picked up An An in her arms and said with a smile,

"Don't cry, grandma is happy."

When Xiang Siyuan came back in the evening, he clearly felt that Li Yin's condition was somewhat different from the previous two days.

The lights were turned off and the room darkened. Li Yin lay on her side facing Xiang Siyuan and slowly told him what happened today. The street lights outside the window shone through, so the room was not completely dark. Xiang Siyuan felt that he could see the look in Li Yin's eyes. He asked,

"What are you thinking about?"

Li Yin clasped her hands in front of her chest, breathing softly, and spoke softly,

"Brother Yuan, I feel like I'm loved by so many people."

Xiang Siyuan raised the corner of his mouth slightly, leaned towards Li Yin, and held her in his arms.

"Because you're worth it."

You who have been through so much but are still positive and optimistic, deserve all the good things.

Eleven o'clock at night, Half Dream Bar.

"A Feng" Zhang Chengyu came over with a glass of wine and clinked the glass with Li Feng's.

"You're holding a glass of wine but not drinking it. Are you trying to be cool or pretending to be profound? Come and have a drink."

Li Feng looked helplessly at his friend who was already a little drunk, and took a sip.

"Are you drunk?"

During the Chinese New Year, although they were all in Nancheng, they surprisingly couldn't find a suitable time to meet. Today, Zhang Chengyu accompanied his fiancée to various parties, and tomorrow, Gao Qijun took his wife and children to visit relatives on both sides. Until the Chinese New Year, Gao Qijun took his wife and children back to Luocheng, and the three of them didn't have time to meet.

However, this Saturday, Gao Qijun brought his wife and children back to attend his cousin's wedding, so Zhang Chengyu organized a party and brought his fiancée out so that everyone could get to know each other.

Li Feng thought they would meet in a more casual place, but it turned out to be too casual and they went straight to a bar.

Gao Qijun also came over at this time and clinked his glasses with the two of them.

"Zhang Chengyu, this is the first time we meet and you brought us to the bar. Doesn't your wife say anything bad about you?"

Zhang Chengyu shook his head.

"It was she who suggested it. She has never been to the bar."

As if remembering something, Zhang Chengyu couldn't help but laugh.

"Her family has been very strict since she was a child. They said that people who go to bars are all bad people, so she didn't dare to go in, and her friends didn't dare to go in either. When she heard that you were going to meet you today, she said that since you were all men, why not come to the bar and take a look."

As he spoke, Zhang Chengyu's tone became doting. When you love someone, you will find her timid and cute.

Gao Qijun smiled, looked at Zhang Chengyu and said,

"Even this dim light can't hide your shameless smile."

"I married a wife I like, but you still don't allow me to show my affection?"

......

Li Feng sat aside, took a few sips of the wine in the glass, and watched the two people arguing with a smile.

The cell phone was in his trouser pocket and the bar's speakers were placed on the ground. The shock waves of the dynamic music vibrated the air. Several times, Li Feng suspected that his cell phone was vibrating, but when he took it out to check, there was no WeChat message. Finally, the WeChat logo popped up one time, and it was a message from a customer.
