Chapter 895: Don’t You Like the Idea of Me Becoming Your Stepmother?
Within a ten-mile radius, folks from the neighborhood of Jiameng Town would visit the temple to make wishes every year.
Therefore, the incense in the temple always burnt merrily.
“Tianxin, I’d always slaughter a chicken and make a wish in the temple in the hopes that your mother could come back.”
Grandmother knelt on the cus.h.i.+on while she spoke to Ye Tianxin.
Ye Tianxin nodded and knelt before Guans.h.i.+yin Bodhisattva alongside Grandmother.
“Dear merciful and compa.s.sionate Guans.h.i.+yin Bodhisattva, thank you for blessing Tianxin and me throughout these years…”
Grandmother muttered the words while Ye Tianxin prayed in silence.
There was going to be an event in the temple the next day. Thus, quite a few enthusiasts were helping out in the temple.
Sunlight shone brightly on Guans.h.i.+yin Bodhisattva’s face, which made Her seemed even more sacred and compa.s.sionate.
“Aunty Ye, I heard that you’ve found your daughter. I’m so glad for you.”
Grandmother looked at the chubby old man who spoke and laughed heartily. “It’s all thanks to Guans.h.i.+yin Bodhisattva. Oh, right. Brother, I’d like to donate some money to the temple.”
Grandmother took out the cash that she prepared in advance and handed it to the old man.
The old man was startled for a moment. Was she going to donate so much money?
“I’ll most probably be living in the Imperial Capital with my granddaughter in the future. Please take care of Guans.h.i.+yin Bodhisattva as I won’t be coming to the temple anymore.”
When they were back from the temple, Grandmother held Ye Tianxin’s hand and said softly, “Tianxin, let’s go back. I’m starting to miss your mum.”
“Okay.”
Ye Tianxin would do whatever Grandmother said.
In the afternoon, the party returned to the Imperial Capital by plane.
“Tianxin.”
Xie Yi jogged towards Grandmother and Ye Tianxin once she saw them.
Grandmother pressed her lips together and looked at Xie Yi. “You’re back?”
Xie Yi held Grandmother’s arm and answered softly, “Yeah, Mum. I’m back.”
“It’s fine as long as you’re back. You’re not leaving anymore, right?” asked Grandmother.
Xie Yi nodded. “I’m not leaving anymore.”
Ye Tianxin never expected Xie Yi to come back so soon.
“You must be feeling tired, Grandmother. Let’s go and have some rest.”
Grandmother went to rest once they were inside the house. “Tianxin, I purposely came back to file a divorce for my marriage.”
Xie Yi took out a statement of dissolution of marriage and showed Ye Tianxin.
Ye Tianxin took the statement from her and glanced at the contents. She said in confusion, “Dr. Xie, even if you have this statement, it doesn’t mean that my Dad would agree to have you as his wife.”
Xie Yi was full of confidence. “As long as you and Grandmother agree to it, I’d be able to persuade your dad.”
“Dr. Xie, me and Grandmother are not the ones to decide this. It’s my dad who’d have the final say in it. Over the years, many other women liked my dad…”
Xie Yi looked at Ye Tianxin. She understood what Ye Tianxin was trying to say.
“Don’t you like the idea of me becoming your stepmother?”
Ye Tianxin smiled bitterly. “Dr. Xie, this isn’t about whether I agree to it or not. I’d respect and support my dad’s decision. Of course, I’d like him to be with a woman who cares for him…”
“Tianxin, I’ll be good to you, your grandmother, and your dad.”
There was a hint of disappointment in Xie Yi’s voice as she said that. She thought that Ye Tianxin would never refuse her because they were already so close with each other.
She never expected Ye Tianxin to be so determined about this matter.
“Dr. Xie, let me put it this way. If my dad has feelings for you and wants to spend the rest of his life with you, I have no objections to it. However, if you want me to persuade my dad for you, I’m sorry, but I can’t do it. Deep down, I hope that Dad could be reunited with my mum…”
