Ye Ningwan brought He Qingping back home.

Mrs. Chen knew about this matter and frowned tightly.

But now that Old Mrs. Zhan is not in good health, she couldn’t tell her about it. She could only personally go to Ye Ningwan, call her out, and quietly report, "Madam, there are many grievances between the gentleman and Ms. He. You shouldn’t have brought Ms. He back home."

Ye Ningwan said, "I know all those grievances, but since she came to us, if I don’t bring her in, should I just let her stand outside? If word gets out, what would happen to the Zhan family’s reputation? Mrs. Chen, I am now Madam Zhan. I know what to do."

Mrs. Chen’s face froze, and she hurriedly nodded with a forced smile, "Yes, I spoke out of turn."

"Knowing you spoke out of turn, do talk less in the future besides taking good care of grandma." Ye Ningwan warned again.

Mrs. Chen’s expression stiffened even more, and she quickly nodded and left.

Ye Ningwan didn’t mean to bully Mrs. Chen. It’s just that Mrs. Chen never put herself in the right place. Last time, Zhan Hanjue forgave her because she had served Old Mrs. Zhan for many years.

But if she doesn’t recognize her role, she might do something foolish again next time.

Ye Ningwan returned to the living room and saw He Qingping sipping tea slowly.

Tuantuan came down from upstairs and, upon seeing her, tilted his head in confusion and asked, "Who are you?"

He Qingping, seeing Tuantuan’s adorable little face, immediately asked excitedly, "Is your dad Zhan Hanjue?"

Tuantuan nodded, "Yes, how do you know?"

"You look exactly like your dad when he was a kid." He Qingping said excitedly.

"Tuantuan, call her grandma." Ye Ningwan walked over and told Tuantuan.

Tuantuan nodded and said, "Grandma."

He Qingping became even more excited, reaching out to invite Tuantuan over to her.

However, Tuantuan felt a bit reluctant and looked at Ye Ningwan.

Ye Ningwan said, "Go back to your room now!"

Tuantuan, feeling like a load had been lifted, quickly turned and ran off.

He Qingping’s face showed disappointment as she looked at Ye Ningwan with guilt and said, "I know, I don’t deserve to hear the child call me grandma. I wronged his father, let alone him. Thank you for still allowing the child to call me grandma."

"Why did you come here all of a sudden?" Ye Ningwan didn’t respond to her words but asked directly.

He Qingping’s eyes turned red.

She was already very beautiful, even at this age still possessing a lasting charm. Her reddened eyes made her look so pitiable.

But unfortunately, Ye Ningwan wasn’t someone easily swayed.

She looked at her quietly, waiting for her response.

"Zhan Changxin contacted me." He Qingping said.

Ye Ningwan frowned slightly.

For a moment, she couldn’t recall who Zhan Changxin was.

After a while, she realized, isn’t that Mrs. Leng?

"Why did she contact you?" Ye Ningwan asked.

She had a bad feeling growing inside her.

Sure enough, He Qingping immediately looked tearfully and choked up, "I had no idea that Changwen’s death was related to him. He lied to me for so many years, and it’s my fault toward Hanjue. Thinking of the pain Hanjue has endured these years, I feel guilty and pained."

Ye Ningwan was speechless.

So, did Mrs. Leng stir up trouble, running to tell He Qingping about past events after leaving her?

She really was... full of herself with nothing better to do, no wonder she got sick, it’s all from having too much free time.

"So, you had a falling out with your husband?" Ye Ningwan guessed.

He Qingping wiped her tears and said determinedly, "I want to divorce him. I trusted him so much back then, gave up everything... I never thought that he would do such a thing. I told him that no matter what happens, Changwen is Hanjue’s father. As long as Changwen is well, Hanjue would be fine, and only then I could be at ease. But he completely disregarded my feelings, and did something to Changwen, which is simply unforgivable."

"So, if you want to divorce him, you can apply to the court. You can settle it by agreement, or you can do it however you like, but what’s the meaning of coming to the Zhan family? Are you determined to tell Jue about this?" Ye Ningwan asked with a laugh.

He Qingping was taken aback by Ye Ningwan’s words, and only after a while did she mumble an explanation, "I just wanted to come see Hanjue, to let him know about this matter, to let him know I haven’t ignored him."

"I see. Don’t worry, I will relay your words to him." Ye Ningwan said.

He Qingping nodded.

Ye Ningwan continued, "Since what needs to be said has already been said, where do you live? I’ll have a driver take you home."

He Qingping was taken aback again, then her eyes turned red once more.

Ye Ningwan said with a laugh, "Mrs. Yan..."

"Don’t call me Mrs. Yan, I’m no longer Mrs. Yan." He Qingping choked.

Ye Ningwan nodded, "Ms. He, we’re all adults. The son you feel guilty towards is now over thirty, not the little boy who lost his mother and yearned for motherly love. So, whether you feel guilty or want him to know, it doesn’t matter. But if you think divorcing for him and having nowhere to go, having to come to him, there’s no need for that. Your marriage is your own business, whether divorcing or continuing it is your choice, it’s certainly unrelated to him, and don’t say it was for him; he doesn’t want to bear this burden."

He Qingping’s face turned pale and flushed, she didn’t expect Ye Ningwan to be so straightforward, leaving her no room for retreat.

He Qingping frowned deeply, bit her lip, and remained silent.

Ye Ningwan was speechless at her reaction.

After a while, she couldn’t help but remind, "Ms. He, say something about what you want to do, what does your silence mean?"

"I want to stay and make up for all the years I owe to Hanjue." He Qingping raised her head and solemnly said to Ye Ningwan.

Ye Ningwan was so angry she laughed.

Taking a deep breath, she slowly said, "Ms. He, do you think a son over thirty, who is already a husband and a father, still needs you to make up for the missing motherly love? Is it really him who needs it, or is it you yourself who needs it? I really can’t agree with your decision, this is moral blackmail."

"Miss Ye," He Qingping said angrily, "You’re Hanjue’s wife, such words are not appropriate for you to say! This is a matter between mother and son, no matter what, Hanjue should make the decision, not you trying to drive me away with every word."

Ye Ningwan nodded, "Indeed, this matter shouldn’t be my concern. But as you can see, Jue doesn’t want to see you. If it wasn’t for me coming over, you would probably still be at a stalemate at the door. You think my words are excessive. But have you considered that if Jue hears your request, he might say even more hurtful things, wounding you deeper. I advise you, that while he doesn’t know, leave quickly, so at least both sides can still hold some illusion about each other. Don’t let the last illusion shatter."

"Impossible, Hanjue is my son, no matter how many years pass, he is always my son. Knowing my current situation, he absolutely wouldn’t drive me away." He Qingping said firmly.

"Then let me disappoint you, Wanwan’s intentions are my intentions."
