Chapter 588 Unexpected Guests

CHAPTER 588

With the mind of not letting a guest wait for her, Jiang Meilin went ahead to quickly finish her breakfast. The others decided to come check out the guests after some time.

That being agreed upon, Jiang Meilin went to the outer living room. When she got there, her feet stop in their steps. To say she was shocked would be an understatement.

Meanwhile, grandpa Bai and grandma Bai stood in their feets when they saw Jiang Meilin walk in. Grandma Bai could not help but notice how better looking she is than in the past.

"My, my, my. To what do I owe this unexpected visit?" Jiang Meilin sacarstically asked as she proceeded in her steps.

"Meilin, we–"

"Jiang Meilin," she cut the old lady off. "The last time we saw, I told you not to address me so informally. It is Jiang Meilin to the both of you."

"I'm sorry. I just wanted to..." grandma Bai stopped and took in a deep breath. Grandpa Bai patted her back as if he was encouraging her to speak.

"I came here to render my utmost and sincerest apology to you. I am sorry for all my belittling and mean actions towards you in the past," grandma Bai apologized.

Jiang Meilin cocked a brow at their sight. "Really?" She instantly spoke.

"Huh?" The old couple looked confusingly at her.

"Is that why you came here? To render such half-hearted apology? How did you even know that I will be here?" Jiang Meilin asked.

"It was a random guess. And I wanted to apologize for everything," grandma Bai answered.

"Why are you only apologising now? Why is it that after all has been revealed, you feel guilty?" She dropped another question on them.

"I had no idea that Lin Ying and her daughter were who they came out to be. I was truly blinded."

"Oh so they are no more the perfect daughter-in-law and granddaughter?!" Jiang Meilin the old lady with a mocking gaze.

"Jiang Meilin, please give her a little bit of listening ear," grandpa Bai thought it was wise to say such when he felt his wife's tight grip on his hand.

"You should stay out of this. You never asked for them to give me listening ears. When they were all accusing, shaming and throwing me out of the mansion in the past, you stood quiet on the sidelines with disappointment in your eyes. So stay out of this," she told him.

Grandpa Bai sighed inwardly and kept whatever words he had to say buried down his throat. Grandma Bai boldly stepped forward.

"Look. I should have been a good matriach and judged things well but I did not. I was too blind by the treasures and lies laid in front of my eyes to see. Instead of being fair and reasonable, I became evil and spiteful towards you and your daughter," grandma Bai began to speak.

"With all those things I did, it made you suffer. And each time I really think back to those times in the past when you have been nothing but good to me and how I repaid you, I feel guilt eat me up from within.

"There were many times for me to see the real faces behind their mask. However, I just acted blind to it and there is no good justification for that. So I came here, to beg for your forgiveness."

"If you had come with this well-prelared speech a long time ago, maybe I would have considered forgiving you. You all costed me a lot of losses, you know?" Jiang Meilin smiled a bitter smile.

"I know. And I am really sorry for all of it. I have nothing to offer to replace those losses. That's why I am pleading for your forgiveness."

As soon as the last word rolled off her tongue, grandma Bai got on her knees. She lowered her head as tears spilled from her eyes.

"Fenhua!" Grandpa Bai called her name out in shock. Even Jiang Meilin had not expected such an act from her.

"Please forgive me," grandma Bai cried.

While aallthay was going on in the Li mansion, the Ye siblings were having a cup of tea together in the garden. They sat side by side and bask in the fresh air of the morning.

"How is sister-in-law?" Ye Yumi asked after sipping frim her coffee brown mug.

"She is fine, I supposed. Yesterday quite exhausting for her," Ye Chaoxiang answered.

"I see. What about her mother?"

"Well she is doing well. They solved their conflict yesterday. I had no idea how it went but Xiaozhi forgave her parents."

"That should be good for them, right? I could see how she was down after you guys came from City Z," Ye Yumi told.

"Yeah. I hope things starts turning out for the better for us all," Ye Chaoxiang said and sighed out.

They went silent for a while before he spoke again.

"That reminds me. My little sister has a boyfriend and I am yet to ask how things have been going."

Ye Yumi chuckled and shook her head. She could not believe him. She took another sip from her mug.

"How are things between you and brother Wenkai? In fact, cime to think of it... I can't believe you are in a relationship with someone older than your elder brother. Are you try to get back for all the bullying and teasing of the past?" Ye Chaoxiang asked with a playful glare.

It sent Ye Yumi laughing hard. She was not ready for that one. Her eyes teared up due to how hard she laughed.

"What? Don't laugh now?"

"I can't help it. Are you scared that I will ask my older boyfriend to take revenge for me?" Ye Yumi played along by teasing him.

Ye Chaoxiang scoffed. "Don't be ridiculous. Even if he is older, I'm still your one and only elder brother. You can't do that to me."
