After that conversation, the contract was quickly sent over. Ji Xingmi signed her name and then gave Elder Ye two prescriptions. Elder Ye also left with the two prescriptions, leaving some money for Ye Yu and giving Ji Xingmi some as living expenses. In return, Ji Xingmi gifted Elder Ye a bottle of health pills and said she would send him more when he finished them!
Upon hearing this, Elder Bi also gave them each a red envelope, and of course, he gave Ji Xingmi some extra money as living expenses!
Ji Xingmi accepted it all. She could send them medicinal pills in the future, so it wasn't like she was receiving them for nothing.
The two of them tidied up and prepared to go home. Neither of them knew that their every move was being tracked.
"Is everything checked out?"
"Yes, brother. Why are you investigating that young girl?" As soon as he finished speaking, he saw his brother's gaze and immediately shrank his neck, continuing, "I heard she's the youngest daughter the Ji family found. The Ji family originally had twins, but the girl was taken away and only recently found. A while ago, Elder Bi's health declined and he was admitted to a nursing home. She's been by Elder Bi's side ever since. The one with her that day was the Ye family's grandson. I heard he's not in good health and has also been living in the nursing home."
"Are they still at the nursing home?"
"Yes, but I heard they're planning to move back in the next couple of days. Elder Bi's condition has improved. But I'm not sure if that Ji Xingmi still needs to go to the countryside?"
"To the countryside?"
"Yes, she was a sent-down youth before. Old Master Ji met her there and became suspicious, which led to her being found. But recently, seeing Ji Mingxue constantly moving around, he probably wants her to stay by his side to take care of him!"
"I understand. You can go back now!" The person sitting in the corner dismissed him. After the person left, he turned his gaze to the outside.
"So it's a full moon today! No wonder the night is especially beautiful tonight~"
Ji Xingmi and Ye Yu were sent back by Grandpa Ye's bodyguard. Mother Ji had known they were returning today and had been waiting by the door. The moment she saw Ji Xingmi getting out of the car, Mother Ji rushed over and hugged her. Seeing Ye Yu watching them, she smiled sheepishly at him.
Ye Yu had never met his mother, so seeing the scene before him, he felt a bit surprised and inexplicably envious. But just as he was about to turn away, Mother Ji also walked over and hugged him. Ye Yu felt a warmth in this embrace. Was this what a mother's love felt like?
Ye Yu seemed to be touched by the warmth and even felt like crying! Ji Xingmi also noticed his unusual behavior. She walked over and put her hand on Ye Yu's shoulder, saying, "How is it, Brother Yu? Isn't my mom beautiful? From now on, you'll call her Mom too, okay? Mom, this is the son I tricked back. It's impossible for him to change his surname, but I've brought him back!"
"Yes, Xiao Yu, just call her Mom like Xiao Xing'er does! You, you say anything that comes to mind, aren't you afraid your Grandpa Ye will hold you accountable!"
"Hmph, he wronged me once, and I kidnapped his grandson. It's even!" Ji Xingmi joked playfully.
Ye Yu remained silent, just looking at Ji Xingmi. He knew she was just trying to comfort him. She was afraid he would feel uncomfortable, afraid he would be reserved, and that he wouldn't be part of the family. But this feeling was damn good, and he wanted to linger in it.
"Godmother~" Ye Yu didn't directly call her Mom. He felt it was inappropriate, but he could do it another way. He believed his grandfather wouldn't mind, and the Ji family probably wouldn't either.
"Yes, good boy. Godmother has prepared your room, and you'll be staying with your little brother Qi. Go and see if you like it, and if not, we'll change it!" Mother Ji agreed without hesitation. She felt pity for the child, but now that he was in her home, she would take good care of him.
Mother Ji led them upstairs. It was only when Ye Yu arrived in the room that the feeling became even more profound. This room had clearly been meticulously prepared, even redecorated. They must have done it after Xiao Xing'er mentioned it last time! So, it wasn't just casually said from the beginning; they truly welcomed him to stay.
"Hehe, this feeling is really good!"
