Chapter 903: An Excuse and an Olive Branch

They looked at her calmly and they didn’t reveal their thoughts on their faces.

He Xiyan took her seat. She didn’t sit next to Chen Jiahang but instead chose to sit next to Yuan Yuan. She picked up a pair of chopsticks and put some food into Yuan Yuan’s bowl.

“Thanks, mom!” Yuan Yuan thanked her with a smile.

He Xiyan nodded her head and patted her son’s narrow shoulders.

Gu Lin looked over and she smiled strangely at He Xiyan and said, “I’m really sorry about what happened earlier. My aunt wasn’t feeling well so we went out to catch some fresh air.”

She tried to explain their earlier actions with a smile but it was obvious that she was giving an excuse for her earlier actions.

Rather than an excuse, this was more like an olive branch.

“It’s alright…” He Xiyan replied with an awkward smile.

She looked at Jiahang’s mother and noticed that she was also looking at her. However, there was such a complicated expression in her eyes that she couldn’t really read her emotions.

“Yan Yan, I’d like to apologize for what happened earlier,” Yang Yun finally said and she sounded a little grave.

He Xiyan froze for a moment and the hand that held the pair of chopsticks shook.

She didn’t expect Jiahang’s mother to suddenly apologize and she was very surprised because Jiahang’s mother had looked so angry and livid earlier.

He Xiyan shook her head and her smile became even more awkward.

“Aunty, there’s no need for you to apologize,” she said.

Yang Yun smiled wryly and her smile seemed very forced. It had been so long since she last had to apologize and today, she was forced to apologize to someone even younger than she was but she decided to apologize anyway in order to fulfill her son’s request.

“Yan Yan, I was mistaken about you earlier. I hope you won’t take it to heart,” she added.

He Xiyan nodded.

“Don’t worry, I won’t,” she said.

She didn’t know how to respond because she could tell that they were only trying to ease the awkward tension.

She figured that Jiahang must have spoken to them and this was why their att.i.tude had changed.

She felt very uncomfortable about it because she knew that they weren’t sincere about their apologies but she was forced to accept their apologies.

Chen Jiahang put some food on his mother’s plate and smile at her.

“Mom, Yan Yan understands. Please have something to eat,” he said.

This awkward meal finally ended after 20 minutes.

Chen Jiahang whisked his mother and cousin to see several sightseeing spots in Ming City while He Xiyan took a son to a children’s shop.

She couldn’t remain by her son’s side, so she always wanted to buy him something he liked whenever he visited.

“Mom, dad just sent a text saying that he would be heading to America on a business trip, so Uncle w.a.n.g will picking me up the day after tomorrow,” Yuan Yuan said as He Xiyan led him into a clothing shop. He didn’t want to go home so quickly but he had to go to school and still had many things to learn. His father had even hired an English tutor for him, so he had to learn English as well. How troublesome.

He Xiyan nodded as her grip tightened on her son’s hand but she felt her heart clench painfully.

She wanted Yuan Yuan to continue living here with her and she was very reluctant to part with her child. She wished that Yuan Yuan could remain by her side every single day.

“Mom, you must remember to text me every day after I’ve gone home,” Yuan Yuan reminded her. He thought that his mother’s memory seemed to have deteriorated since he had always been the one to text her first recently.
