“All the Shi family men are blind!” Miss Hong resentfully commented. “Cherishing a piece of trash like that like she’s a gem, hmph! They’ll cry in regret about it soon enough! I’ll ruin everyone who’s on good terms with Xiang Yang, hmph!”

Lan Long warned her seriously, “You can torture Xiang Yang however you want, I don’t care, but there’s one thing you should remember! Her life is mine! No one is allowed to take her life, including you and your brother!”

“Oh, and one more thing! Don’t draw the Shi family’s ire trying to get at Xiang Yang. I’m not afraid of them, but now’s not the time to make enemies of them. Don’t mess up our plans!”

Miss Hong fell silent. Mr. Lou quickly mediated: “Don’t worry, Young Master. Miss Hong knows what to do.”

Yun Nan gently covered Chen Yao with a thin blanket. Chen Yao opened her eyes and smiled when she saw Yun Nan. She’d caught a bad cold a few days ago, and Yun Nan had watched over her diligently until she recovered.

Losing her daughter was an unhealable pain Chen Yao would bear for the rest of her days. Even though she’d found Yun Nan, and Yun Nan’s thoughtfulness made up for the loss and regret in her heart, it wasn’t until after falling sick this time and getting cared for meticulously by Yun Nun that Chen Yao’s perpetual wound finally scab over.

Seeing that she had woken up, Yun Nan leaned over and touched her forehead to check her temperature. Yun Nan only felt relieved when she had ascertained that Chen Yao wasn’t sweating or had a fever. She said softly, “Sorry, did I wake you up, Grandma? Would you like some more sleep, or get up and have something to eat?”

Chen Yao got out of bed with Yun Nan’s help and answered, “I’ve slept for quite a while. I should get up and move around. Don’t worry, I’m all recovered.”

Yun Nan hurriedly put a coat over her before saying, “Let’s have something that’s easy to digest. I’ll go make some noodles.”

Chen Yao chuckled and nodded. “Sure. By the way, weren’t you accompanying Madam Xi at Xi Corporation? Why are you back so soon?”

As the two of them chatted, they entered the kitchen. Yun Nan had personally prepared Chen Yao’s meals the past few days when she was sick, so the servants were used to seeing her in the kitchen. Chen Yao hadn’t had much appetite due to her illness, so Yun Nan had made a variety of dishes for her, making her develop picky taste buds as a result.

Yun Nan told Chen Yao what had happened at the Xi Corporation as she prepared their food. “The matter was resolved very quickly.”

Chen Yao nodded after listening to her recount. “Madam Xi made the right decision. That is the best solution at the moment. I just don’t know if her son understands her good intentions.”

“If he still doesn’t understand, then there’s nothing we can do,” Yun Nan replied. “Grandma, I need your help with something once you’re all better. I’ve not had experience in corporate philanthropy projects, so I don’t know much about managing Auntie Han Yuan’s charity organization.”

Chen Yao laughed. “It’s not all that difficult. It’s good that you’re learning about it now; I can hand my charity work to you too in the future.”

Yun Nan playfully stuck out her tongue. “Can’t I just sponge off and rely on you to feed me?”

Chen Yao’s heart near-melted as she looked at her. “Of course, you can. You can do whatever you like. Grandma will support you no matter what you do!”

Yun Nan turned around and stared at her grandma. She left her food preparation and circled her arms around Chen Yao in a hug, careful not to get her wet hands on her. “Grandma, I love you!” she cried. She let go of Chen Yao before hugging her again after a moment’s thought, muttering, “This one is for Mom!”

Chen Yao couldn’t help but tear up, and she reached out to return Yun Nan’s hug. Yun Nan chuckled, “I can’t sponge off others. Mom said that I have to be someone who contributes to society. I must be a person of value, to myself and others!”

Chen Yao patted her back and remarked, “Your mother taught you well!”

“That’s because Grandma passed on your good genes to her!” Yun Nan said in return.

The grandma-and-granddaughter pair looked at each other and smiled. Even though the person connecting them was no longer physically around, she was still present. Perhaps she was watching the people she loved the most live happily together from the heavens.

Something else occurred to Yun Nan. “Grandma, Fang Xi is getting married and she would like you and Grandpa to be the officiators. She said that her family won’t be coming over, so she doesn’t have any suitable elders to fill that role.”

Chen Yao froze for a moment before deliberately asking, “What do you mean by ‘no suitable elders?’ Aren’t we her elders? I’ve always thought that we’re her elders so shouldn’t we be the clear choice as officiators?”

Yun Nan was stunned and laughed. “Yeah! I’ll go confront Fang Xi! To not treat Grandma and Grandpa as her elders—Is she out of her mind? We’ll have to punish her by making her cook a feast for Grandpa and Grandma as an apology!”

Both of them began to laugh cheerily. When they were done chuckling, Chen Yao asked, “Why isn’t her family coming over to her wedding? Did Fang Xi say why? Or did she not want to tell her family about it at all?”

Yun Nan shook her head. “I didn’t ask. Her parents have their own separate families, so Fang Xi has been on her own all these years. Only Mr. Mo treats her like his daughter, and this time, he’ll be acting as the wedding’s official witness. No one else is as suitable for the role.”

Chen Yao nodded. “Don’t worry. We’ll absolutely have Fang Xi marry off in a perfectly beautiful fashion. We’ve prepared everything!”
