The Second Senior Brother came in a hurry and left just as quickly.
When Yu Shanhe found out the next morning that the Second Senior Brother had already left, he sighed with emotion for quite a while.
However, after hearing from Niannian that Yusheng's problem had been solved, he suppressed the urge to find the Second Senior Brother back.
Today, Little Tuanzi went to the company with her old father again.
She still remembered the receptionist sister in the company. Today was exactly the seventh - day deadline. If the sister needed help, today would be the last day.
Coincidentally, it was also the Ghost Festival.
She was going to the Underworld at night to play with Brother Xiao Hei and Brother Xiao Bai. If she managed to catch the ghost that was haunting the receptionist sister, she could take it there together.
Surprisingly, Yusheng also went to the company with them today.
There was nothing he could do. He was scared to stay at home alone!
Now he felt that apart from Niannian's side, there was no other place in the world that could make him feel safe.
Yu Shanhe saw through his little thoughts but didn't expose him.
The three of them took the car to the company, all selectively ignoring Zhao Tang's existence.
It couldn't be said that they completely ignored her.
Yu Shanhe just assigned a driver to take care of her.
As long as she could be well - fed, well - dressed, and not lost, that would be fine.
He wouldn't give her anything more.
If it weren't for the fact that Zhao Tang's parents were abroad and it was difficult to deal with his wife's side,
Yu Shanhe would have kicked Zhao Tang out of the house long ago.
But unfortunately, among his wife's relatives, there were only two sisters left. Since Zhao Tang's parents didn't come back, he couldn't find any other guardians to take over.
After all, she was just a child of a few years old. He couldn't just throw her out onto the street.
Thinking of this, Yu Shanhe involuntarily cast his eyes on Niannian.
Both he and his son had been secretly harmed by metaphysical means. Could it be that his wife's abnormality was also caused by the same thing?
He must find some time to take Niannian to see her mother.
"Niannian, can Dad take you to see Mom in a few days?"
"Huh? Niannian's mom?"
Niannian looked up at her father with a confused and dazed look in her eyes.
She knew that she had both parents, a mom and a dad, as well as a brother.
But since she came down from the mountain, no one in the family had ever mentioned her mother to her.
She had also subconsciously ignored the existence of her mother.
"Yes. It's because your mom is not in a very stable emotional state right now. Maybe... Anyway, if Niannian sees that Mom is not looking good, can you not dislike her?"
Yu Shanhe had not wanted to take Niannian to see his wife for such a long time because he was afraid that the child would be scared.
What if his wife went crazy in front of Niannian? The child might dislike this mother she had never met before after seeing such a scene.
To be honest, his wife was not only in a bad mental state but also in poor physical condition.
The once bright and generous woman was now extremely thin and haggard. Although she was only in her thirties, she looked like a fifty - year - old.
Yu Shanhe was really afraid that Niannian would be disgusted after seeing his wife like this.
In that case, it would undoubtedly be a huge harm to both Niannian and his wife.
If one day his wife returned to normal, she probably wouldn't be able to accept that the child she had carried for ten months disliked her.
"Why would I dislike her? Is Mom not good - looking?"
Niannian didn't quite understand why her father would ask such a question. She rarely felt dislike for others.
As long as people were not extremely evil and fond of committing crimes, she would not dislike them.
"Your mom used to be very beautiful. It's just that now... she's sick, so she doesn't look very pretty."
Yu Shanhe really didn't know how to describe it. He wracked his brains and came up with a relatively simple and appropriate word to help Niannian gradually accept the situation.
He wanted to give her a heads - up.
"What does it matter if she's not pretty? Mom is still Mom. The physical appearance is just the surface for people to walk in the world. The soul beneath the surface is the standard for true beauty and ugliness."
"Moreover, it's because of Mom and Dad that I was able to come into this world. As the saying goes, a son should never dislike his mother for being ugly, just as a dog should never dislike its home for being poor. No matter what Mom looks like, as a child, I can't have the heart to despise her."
"If Mom is really an extremely evil person, although Niannian won't cover up for her, I will also help Mom do good deeds and accumulate virtues to try to wash away her sins."
When Niannian said these words, her expression was very serious. She spoke slowly and clearly, word by word.
Her clear eyes were as pure as crystal, without a single impurity.
"What if Mom is not willing to accept you for the time being?"
Yu Shanhe asked with difficulty.
"It doesn't matter. Even if she doesn't like me, she's still my mom. Master told me to come down the mountain to repay my parents for giving birth to me. If Mom doesn't like me, I might not like her either. But if she's in trouble, I will definitely help her without hesitation, just like Second Brother."
Niannian knew where to draw the line.
She wasn't someone who was loved by everyone.
It was impossible for her to be liked by everyone.
There would be people in this world who disliked her, and at the same time, there were people who loved her.
For example, her senior brothers, her master, and now her father all loved her.
So she just needed to focus on the people who loved her.
Those who disliked her didn't need to be taken to heart.
It would only add unnecessary troubles.
She wanted to be a happy person.
She didn't want to be influenced by those who disliked her and become an unhappy person.
Niannian swayed her short legs, tilted her little head and thought carefully for a while, then added, "No matter what Mom is like, Niannian really likes Dad, because Niannian knows that Dad loves me very much!"
Yu Shanhe felt a pang in his heart.
He had a thousand and one emotions in his heart but didn't know where to start.
This child was so well - behaved and sensible that it made people feel heartache.
Before bringing Niannian back, Yu Shanhe had imagined countless headaches and troubles he might encounter after bringing the child back.
For example, she might not be willing to accept her parents, be raised to be petty, or the worst possibility was that she had a very difficult life and hated the world.
He had prepared for all the worst - case scenarios.
He just didn't expect that his child would be so well - behaved and sensible.
His heart was comforted but also sad.
Yu Shanhe's eyes involuntarily turned red.
He hugged Little Tuanzi tightly and said with a choked voice, "Okay. No matter what happens, Dad will always love you."
The last bit of hesitation in his heart was dispelled.
Yu Shanhe thought that he could arrange for Niannian to meet his wife as soon as possible.
He composed himself, looked serious, and voiced his suspicion.
"Niannian, I suspect that your mom was also harmed by someone to become like this. So when you see Mom later, can you help Dad take a good look?"
"Okay. I will definitely take a careful look then."
If she was asked to take a look, it must be related to metaphysics.
Although Niannian didn't know exactly what was wrong with her mother, she had already started to take it seriously.
Little Tuanzi agreed without hesitation, and Yu Shanhe finally put his heart at ease.
When they arrived at the company, Yu Shanhe didn't restrict Little Tuanzi. He let her play on her own. On the contrary, Yusheng was strictly forbidden to run around.
Niannian wasn't polite either. She got on the elevator by herself and went straight to the first - floor reception desk with ease.
She smiled brightly and said, "Sister, do you need help?"
