Liang Han vehemently shook his head. “Thanks, but no thanks. Those girls of yours are scary.”
Xi Cheng’s expression darkened. Shi Nian glared at Liang Han for opening his big mouth before changing the subject. “Stop fooling around. Anyway, Ye Kun, Yun Nan is planning on making an art film and asks if you’re interested in investing in it.”
Liang Han readily agreed. “Of course I am! Director Yun only needs to say the word, and I’ll be there immediately. What does she need? Staff? Actors?
Money?”
Shi Nian stretched out his leg, pretending to kick at him, and jokingly scolded, “Be serious, or I won’t let you meet Yun Nan!”
Liang Han immediately replied, “Aw, serious-smerious. How does it feel to be the man behind Director Yun? Your future is now all dependent on her! I’ll have you know, if it weren’t for Director Yun, I wouldn’t have bothered with you!”
And with that, Liang Han’s previous stinging words to Xi Cheng were finally passed over. “Xi Cheng’s mother’s birthday is coming up soon. What should we get Auntie?” Liang Han asked.
The four boys’ families would all send gifts whenever their elders celebrated their birthdays, and the boys would also jointly pick out gifts for them. They’ve kept to this habit since they were young.
Ye Kun said, “Don’t worry. My girlfriend and Yun Nan have already prepared the gift. You guys only need to pay your portion of the price.”
Liang Han dramatically facepalmed and acted as if he were heartbroken. “This is pure discrimination! This is discrimination against singles! Is there no justice? Flaunting your love lives before me like this should be a crime! May the heavens strike you all down and turn the three of you into charcoal!”
The other three kicked him in unison. “The heavens think that you’ve gone too far. They won’t strike us; They’ll only strike you!”
Liang Han whimpered, “We came into this world hand in hand, yet you all got yourselves partners while I’m still single. Don’t you feel sorry for me?”
“Do you feel sorry for him?” the three boys asked each other as they held a hand to their chests. They then all shook their heads. “Nope! Not at all!”
Liang Han collapsed onto the sofa and whined, “Goodbye life; it was nice knowing you.”
The other three laughed heartlessly and didn’t forget to kick the ‘dead’ Liang Han while he was down. Joking and making fun of each other was the most relaxing time for the four buddies.
As soon as she finished her work, Yun Nan would hurry to the hospital to accompany her grandparents.
Gu Bei had almost recovered and was in a great mood. He even had the appetite to ask Yun Nan to cook for him and make orders for what he would like to eat. Yun Nan was more than glad to do so and made all sorts of delicious food for Gu Bei. She also spoke to the doctor privately about Gu Bei’s condition and his dietary needs so that she could provide him with proper and nutritious food. Gu Bei’s meals were a perfect balance of meat and veggies that Yun Nan made with great care.
Chen Yao’s worried heart finally relaxed, and looking at Yun Nan running around every day, she was very happy. Not being able to meet their daughter before she passed away would always be the greatest regret of their lives. However, to a certain extent, Yun Nan made up for that regret. The girl was a blessing. The heavens probably saw how pitiful they were and gifted her to them.
Yun Nan told them stories about the interesting things that happened to her parents and her when she was young, gradually soothing the pain in their hearts and slowly making them accept the truth. Yun Nan secretly swore to herself that she would definitely give the two elders peaceful and happy days for the rest of their lives.
Likewise, Gu Bei and Chen Yao wished the same for Yun Nan. At the thought that their deceased daughter had raised and doted on the girl before them, they wanted more than anything to treat Yun Nan like a princess and love her with all their might.
Shi Nian would come over to pick up Yun Nan when he was free. He would chat and laugh with the two elders, and when Gu Bei had recovered, Shi Nian returned the work he had been managing in Gu Bei’s absence to him.
Gu Bei didn’t say anything. He only told Shi Nian in private that Yun Nan was Xiao He’s only daughter and their only granddaughter, and he asked Shi Nian to take care of their entire family in the future.
Shi Nian understood what the elders meant: they would leave all their businesses and wealth to Yun Nan and him. He knew the elders would inevitably be sad and think that he and Yun Nan didn’t view them as family if he refused, so he could only accept it.
Shi Nian could feel how happy she was lately and also felt happy for her. Yun
Nan hadn’t mentioned the Yun family for quite a while now. It was best that Yun Nan forget about the Yuns; her birth family was like a thorn in Yun Nan’s heart. Though the wound they caused her no longer bled, it still hurt when touched.
On the way home, Shi Nian suggested, “We should let Mom and Dad meet Grandma and Grandpa Gu. Grandpa Gu’s health wasn’t the best previously, so I didn’t let them come visit.”
“Sure! Let’s have a get-together at our house. I’ll cook!” Yun Nan immediately agreed.
Shi Nian smiled. He knew how much she loved to cook. “Don’t work too hard,” he cautioned; even if she loved doing it, Shi Nian couldn’t bear seeing her toil away.
“I won’t. I’ll invite Ye Kun and Fang Xi to come over too, and I can cook together with Fang Xi, ” Yun Nan replied.
“You can also ask Ye Kun to help. He’s a good cook, ” Shi Nian unhesitatingly offered up his best friend.
Yun Nan smiled and looked out the window, thinking, ‘Fang Xi’s ex-boyfriend liked eating Fang Xi’s cooking. Fang Xi once said that the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. At least, that’s what the ancients say. However, that man still left her in the end..’
