Chapter 1068: She Wanted Her Granddaughter to Return
Menglin led Ye Chenyu by the hand.
“Alright, Xiaoyu, let’s get in the car,” she said.
Ye Chenyu blinked his amber-colored eyes. He didn’t want to leave and he turned to look at his father and grandmother even as he continued to walk forward.
He even shouted loudly, “Dad, you must remember to bring me home!”
Ye Hao’s eyes were cold and hard. He didn’t respond to the child and didn’t even blink at the child’s words.
He had never liked this child and now that he found out that he wasn’t his biological son but Ye Yi’s son, he hated him to the car.
The car zoomed off after Ye Chenyu got into the car. This house became very quiet and empty after Ye Chenyu’s departure since the childish laughter could no longer be heard from the halls of this house.
Xia Jingshu couldn’t help but wipe the tears from her eyes. She had to bear the anguish herself.
Then, she pushed her wheelchair and approached her son. She heaved a sigh and said, “Ah Hao, you should go and bring Xi Xi home. The house feels so empty without her.” Her voice was soft and hoa.r.s.e as though she was losing the ability to speak.
She missed her granddaughter badly even though her granddaughter was always so ill-mannered and disobedient. Yet, Xi Xi was still her biological granddaughter and her closest relative.
“Mom…” Ye Hao turned to look at his mother and said, “Xi Xi has gotten used to life at the castle. Moreover, the judge had given her custody to Yan Yan. We should be content with seeing the child once in a while. Yan Yan would never agree to the child moving back with us and Xi Xi would not want to do so either.”
Ye Hao spoke the truth. He knew that his daughter was sick and tired of this home.
“Let’s bring her back for 10 to 14 days then. The maids here would be able to send her to school as well,” Xia Jingshu said stubbornly. “There’s no need for you to fetch her home after school. I’ll do it myself.”
She felt extremely upset when she remembered that He Xiyan now held custody of her granddaughter. Furthermore, her granddaughter would only grow more distant over time and she was afraid that Xi Xi wouldn’t want to acknowledge her as her grandmother in the future.

Xia Jingshu asked the maids at home to buy Xi Xi’s favorite toy after Ye Hao left and they came back with a beautiful Barbie doll.
She instructed the driver to drop her off at the castle that had been personally designed by her husband,
Those who used to work for the Ye family at the castle did not stop her but immediately opened the door because they knew that the house belonged to the little princess who lived at the castle. They didn’t dare to stop her from entering because they knew that she was the little princess’ grandmother.
“Is Xi Xi home from school?” Xia Jingshu asked Qin Xiaoyu who stood at the doorway.
She checked the time and guessed that they’d be home soon.
Qin Xiaoyu bit her lips and she was surprised by Xia Jingshu’s appearance.
Xia Jingshu had never once visited Xi Xi over the past two months, so what was she doing here all of a sudden?
“She should be home soon,” Qin Xiaoyu said noncommittally as she looked at the road outside.
Several minutes later, a white BMW could be seen heading toward the castle.
The car stopped outside the castle gates.
Yuan Yuan hopped out of the car first, then carried his sister off the car with some effort.
They carried the same yellow school bag that was given to them by the school.
Xia Jingshu finally smiled when she saw her granddaughter. This was her first genuine smile after everything that happened over the past month.
Her granddaughter had grown taller and looked beautiful and adorable since the last time they met two years ago.
Xi Xi and Yuan Yuan ran to the living room as they played with each other.
