Chapter 902: Grandma’s Protection
Xie Yi’s face was instantly flushed. She was ashamed that her eyes seemed to be filled with clear spring water.
Li Zhiwei said with a sneer, “You should know that all the treatment you received before is because of Linlang. However, you are not Ye Linlang…”
“She is Ye Linlang.”
Standing beside Xie Yi, Grandma held her slightly trembling hand and gave her enough courage.
Xie Yi stared at Grandma in surprise. Her reddish eyes could not help but be moved.
Li Zhiwei’s eyes were full of disbelief. She found a rather blurry photo of Ye Linlang on her mobile phone, pointed at it. and said to Grandma, “Old lady, you were deceived. Your daughter doesn’t look like that. This is your daughter. The woman standing next to you is an imposter!”
There was no anger, embarra.s.sment, or even a trace of sadness in Grandma’s eyes.
“I may be old, but how could I not know my own daughter? She is my daughter Ye Linlang.”
Li Zhiwei’s heart was in turmoil.
This definitely was not Ye Linlang, but the old lady seemed to have believed so.
Could it be…
Li Zhiwei felt that she might have done something stupid. She quickly came to her senses, bent over to Grandma, and apologized, “Sorry, I have mistaken her for someone else. I’m so sorry.”
“It doesn’t matter.”
As soon as Grandma said so, Li Zhiwei didn’t care about was.h.i.+ng her hair. She pushed the door open and left in a hurry.
In the clubhouse, Grandma held Xie Yi’s hand. Tears were flas.h.i.+ng in Xie Yi’s eyes.
“I’m sorry.”
I’m sorry for not being Ye Linlang.
I’m sorry I’m not your daughter.
I’m a despicable woman who wants to steal your son-in-law.
I…
Xie Yi’s heart ached in a knot.
Grandma said, “Let’s get on with our hair.” It was as if she didn’t care.
After Grandma’s hair was done, she looked many years younger. With black hair, she looked better than before.
“Walk with me, please.”
Grandma and Xie Yi walked towards the park together. There were still various entertainment activities in the park even though the weather was very cold.
Xie Yi didn’t dare to speak because she was afraid that she would be scolded by the old lady once she did.
“A dozen years ago, my daughter left Ye Tianxin to me. She said that she was going to find someone and come back when she found him.”
Grandma’s voice rang intermittently in Xie Yi’s ears.
“She left me that day and never came back. Someone said she was dead, but I didn’t believe it! Still, there’s still no news of her after all these years…”
The tears rolled down from Xie Yi’s eyes as she softly said, “Sorry, I really am not Ye Linlang.”
Grandma replied, “I know.”
Xie Yi looked at Grandma in surprise. She knew it this whole time?
Since when?
“We returned to Jiameng a few days ago. When I looked at the familiar plants and trees in Jiameng, I came to my senses. You are not my daughter. You give off the same aura as her, but you look different.”
Grandma’s eyes stared at the thick ice on the lake.
There seemed to be fish swimming around merrily under the ice.
“Thank you for fulfilling one of my dreams.”
Xie Yi covered her face and broke into tears.
“I’m sorry.”
Sorry.
Out of thousands of words, it seemed that only “sorry” could express my deepest regret.
“Silly girl, it’s not your fault.”
Grandma handed a handkerchief to Xie Yi and she took it over.
“It’s my fault. I just miss her so much…”
