Chapter 1020: That Is Granny

Translator: Larbre Studio  Editor: Larbre Studio

As though afraid of losing anyone again, Lu Qi held his sister’s tiny hand with his left hand and his little brother with his right.

“What are you guys looking at?” Ye Shuyun walked toward them and squatted down. She thought to herself, when did both of them start picking up Xunxun’s fancy of watching the scenery?

“Grandma, I want to bathe in the sun sun.” Lu Qi pointed his little finger outside.

“Grandma, I want to pick up the leaf leaf.” Lu Guang mimicked his older brother’s action as well.

As for Xunxun, she was still unwilling to utter a single word. She would just look at you with her big watery eyes. The one thing that Ye Shuyun was afraid of the most, was those pair of eyes. It was as though she would start wailing anytime soon. She could not bear to reject her in any way.

“Fine.” Ye Shuyun raised the white flag.

“Let grandma bring you guys out to bathe in the sun sun and pick up the leaf leaf, okay?”

“Okay,” all three of them answered and nodded in unison.

All three of them were definitely adorable. The brothers were like two peas in a pod, other than their own family, outsiders could never easily tell them apart. As for Xunxun, she did not act as though she was part of the triplets. Xunxun was a head shorter and skinnier than her brothers.

However, they still do look like the spitting image of each other.

Although Xunxun’s looks resembled her mother’s, she still had the stubborn little lips like her brothers. They were the splitting image of their father when they were not smiling.

Others might not be able to tell but Ye Shuyun sure could. She even had a photo album as proof. When their father was the same age as them, they looked exactly like him with his poker face in the photo.

Ye Shuyun called out to two of their housekeepers and prepared them for a short outing. These kids should not be kept in the room all the time, it was no good to raise them in the way that the slightest bit of dirt could not be found on them. If they were to be indoors the whole time, they would definitely turn to waste.

Ye Shuyun together with the two housekeepers held onto one child each and headed outside. They even brought their toys along and let the three have fun together.

The Lu family’s siblings did not mingle with the other kids. They only played among themselves. Both the brothers made allowances for their little sister. All those that were fun to play with were given to their sister.

In the meantime, a lady was picking up plastic bottles not far away from them. Her face was covered with a huge mask and she kept on catching a glimpse at the three kids over and over again.

No one knew that at this moment, the face that was hidden underneath the huge mask was plastered with a light grin.

In the meantime, a bottle flew toward her and hit her head with a bang. When she looked over her shoulder, she saw a youngster holding his chin up, and with a benevolent tone, he said, “Here you go, poor ghost.”

Yan Huan picked up the bottle and put it into the bag on her back. Truthfully, she was not there to pick bottles. The reason was that, only with an identity as such, would she be able to take a glimpse of her own kids from afar. No matter how insulting it was, she was willing to take it, even if it was just for a peek.

Xunxun picked up a leaf from the ground and blew on it with her little mouth. The leaf wiggled and entertained her easily. Just when she was putting down the leaf, suddenly, as though she had discovered something interesting, with her tiny legs, she ran toward it. When Lu Qi and Lu Guang saw their little sister running away, they too followed her from behind.

Not far away were Ye Shuyun and the two housekeepers. They did not take it to heart as long as the kids did not go too far and remained in the lawn.

Xunxun ran over and squatted down. She then picked up a plastic bottle from the ground and ran toward Yan Huan. As though handing her a beloved treasure, she held it in front of Yan Huan and faced her with a sweet smile.

“Mommy,” She took the bottle to Yan Huan.

Yan Huan took the bottle from her tiny hands. She wanted to touch her daughter’s tiny face, but when she saw Ye Shuyun and the other three looking over at them from afar, she stopped in her tracks. She then hung her head down and staggered away with a hunched back like an ordinary old lady who picked recycles for a living.

“Mommy.” Xunxun held out her tiny hands and pulled at Yan Huan’s sleeves.

Meanwhile, Lu Qi and Lu Guang spurted over and stood beside Xunxun, one on each side of her, and held onto Xunxun’s hands.

Yan Huan turned back, her heart aching. Standing in front of her were her children. Yet, she had forgotten how long she had not looked at them and hugged them nicely.

Shivering, she held out her fingers. Just when she was about to reach them, Ye Shuyun and the two housekeepers had come over and quickly carried the children in their arms, creating quite a distance between Yan Huan and the kids.

As though terrified of them recognising her, Yan Huan lowered her head, but at that moment, she thought that she was overthinking it. With her current look, there was no way anyone could recognise her.

“Mommy…” Xunxun held her tiny hands out, wanting to go over to Yan Huan’s side.

She recognised her mother. Not because of her apparel, not because of her looks. Only because she was her biological mother. The one who gave birth to her. The one who breathed life to her.

“Good child, that is not mommy,” Ye Shuyun coaxed her granddaughter, “Look, she is old. She’s a granny.”

The word ‘granny’ heavily stabbed Yan Huan’s heart, who was facing away from them.

Yes, I am not a mother. I’m a granny. I’m a granny. So it was, she had reached the age of a granny’s. She had become so old.

“Mommy, mommy…” Xunxun was still struggling to hold her hand out. She wanted her mother. As though contagious, both Lu Qi and Lu Guang started tearing up as well, crying for mommy.

No one knew how heartbroken and upset Yan Huan was right now.

They were her children. They were the children she had given birth to, and yet, she could never acknowledge them.

She clenched tightly onto the bag in her hand, almost to the extent of breaking off her fingers. She then turned around, step by step as she faltered away with a hunched back like an old granny.

Xunxun could not find her mother anymore. She cried for quite a while, rendering her tired and exhausted in the end, only then did Ye Shuyun carry her back home. Though on the next day, all three children made a stance that they wanted to go out once more, as if they were rejected, they would be very upset. Their lips were pursed so pitifully as well.

Ye Shuyun thought that it was not a bad idea for them to be active outdoors. Besides, it was right in front of their house, nothing could happen anyway. Moreover, together with her housekeepers, there were a total of three pairs of eyes; there was no way they would not be able to look after these three kids.

Xunxun held onto a small bucket, letting both her brothers keep the leaves collected in it.
