Previously on Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life...
Ye Yanting’s inner calculations were unknown to anyone; at this moment the Old Lady arrived at Ye Qiu’s place packed with her belongings, and Tan Nana opened the door and was stunned to see the Old Lady.
"I’m Grandma, Nana, do you remember me?" The Old Lady said very affectionately, "Good child, have you had dinner yet?"
"We just ate." Tan Nana was taken aback and welcomed the Old Lady inside, whispering, "I didn’t hear Ye Qiu say you were coming!"
"It was out of anger with his parents that I insisted on moving here." After saying this, she took the suitcase from the driver’s hand and said irritably, "There’s no need for you anymore, you can leave."
Ye Qiu heard the noise and came out of the study, seeing his grandmother with loads of luggage made him laugh and cry: "Grandma, why did you come over? Did you have a disagreement with my parents?"
"There’s no other disagreement, just your stubborn parents who refuse to approve your marriage, I have nothing more to say to them, so I moved out." The Old Lady said as she held Tan Nana’s hand, "Good girl, that couple doesn’t know how to compromise, but I like you, don’t leave Ye Qiu because of this, I’ll be the witness for your marriage in the future."
The Old Lady’s appearance did alleviate Tan Nana’s worries considerably; at least not everyone in the Ye Family was against it.
"Grandma, Ye Qiu treats me very well, I won’t leave him." Tan Nana glanced at Ye Qiu and said shyly.
The Old Lady nodded: "This child has been sensible since he was little, taking good care of you is his duty, don’t worry, he’ll definitely bring you happiness in the future."
Ye Qiu felt helpless seeing his grandma talking hand in hand with Nana: "Grandma, you moved out just because of this?"
"What’s ’just because of this’? Your parents are biased, and Grandma is firmly on your side. Your brother can marry Gu Wanqin, why can’t you marry Nana? Don’t worry, Grandma will surely get the company back for you." The Old Lady promised.
Tan Nana asked curiously: "Grandma, aren’t you afraid that my being with Ye Qiu has other motives?"
"I’m old enough to tell that you’re a good girl with no bad intentions." The Old Lady shook her head, "Girlie, Ye Yanting was blind to miss you before, but my elder grandson is great, he’s much better than that rascal Ye Yanting, you two must be well together in the future."
"Okay." Tan Nana nodded heavily while listening.
Ye Qiu laughed: "Grandma, I appreciate your support, but you really can’t move in here."
"Why?" The Old Lady was angry, "Afraid I’ll disturb your private time? Rest assured, Grandma goes out to play mahjong during the day, and dances at the square at night, won’t disturb you two."
"It’s not because of that." Ye Qiu explained, "Grandma, I’ve started a web company recently; it’s just getting started, and I have many things to handle, so I can’t take care of you."
"I don’t need you to take care of me, you being busy is good, I’ll cook for you."
"But I’m not reassured, Grandma, even though you’re usually in good health, you’re getting on in years, you need care, how can you take care of me? Besides, I’ll constantly be concerned about you at home, how could I work peacefully? Grandma, if you’re truly doing it for my good, please go back home, alright?" Ye Qiu explained with Emotion and Reason.
The Old Lady hesitated upon hearing: "But if I go back, wouldn’t it mean admitting defeat to your parents? What if they really give the company to your brother? That business was your hard-won achievement."
Ye Qiu looked composed: "If they do that, there’s nothing I can do. But I’ve got hands and feet and brains; rest assured Grandma, I will not let myself suffer, and Nana’s father already promised to help me with work-related matters, so you don’t need to worry too much."
The Old Lady sighed, holding Tan Nana’s hand: "He’s such a good in-law, contrasting sharply with your dad who’s heartless, do you really want me to go back?"
"Yes, Grandma, I’ll be more at ease if you go back."
The Old Lady pouted: "Then I’ll call the driver back."
Ye Qiu chuckled: "How about tomorrow? I’ll personally send you back. After all, you came all the way out, going back immediately would be losing face."
"You’re the one in this family who knows my heart the best." The Old Lady said indulgently, "If you encounter difficulties make sure to speak out, don’t keep it bottled up, also take this."
Ye Qiu looked at the passbook without accepting it: "Grandma, I don’t need money, keep it for yourself."
"I’m already so old, how much money can I need? Your father is a scoundrel, but he is still filial to me, I lack nothing. Listen to Grandma, take the money; it’ll eventually be yours anyway." The Old Lady insisted forcefully.
Ye Qiu reluctantly agreed: "Since you gave me the money, what if Yanting has objections? He is also your grandson."
The Old Lady snorted: "What objections can he have? I’m partial to you, but aren’t his parents more biased towards him? Do you think your parents fairly divided your pocket money? Besides, you’ve brought in so much profit for the company, and only got a pitiful salary. You’re missing out, take the money, no refusing."
"Alright." Ye Qiu understood his grandma’s personality; knowing if he didn’t take it she’d worry even more, so he accepted it, considering it like Grandma investing in shares, she won’t lose in the future anyway.
Tan Nana accompanied the Old Lady for a while and then returned to the next door, knowing they hadn’t moved in together yet, the Old Lady felt a bit regretful, but was more satisfied with these two kids who knew manners well, contrary to what her son and daughter-in-law claimed about conspiracies, saying they were out for revenge against Ye Yanting’s couple; she saw this pair as genuinely good, the affection couldn’t be faked.
Moreover, she was increasingly satisfied with Tan Nana, she adored Ye Qiu, and like Ye Zhiliang and Mom, she also thought the elder grandson had better options, especially since Tan Nana had been so persistent with the younger grandson, she worried the elder grandson might suffer.
However, after truly observing the interaction between the two children, she realized Tan Nana genuinely liked her elder grandson, the tender affection in her eyes couldn’t fool anyone.
Besides, Tan Nana is beautiful, comes from a good family, and hearing that the future in-laws valuably regarded Ye Qiu and even provide great support, the Old Lady felt immense joy.
She’s of advanced age and sees further than others, realizing the Ye Family business was established by her son and Mom, even if the elder grandson prospers, he’d always be restrained by others, better to start his own venture for greater assurance.
All that matters is holding something substantial, as long as Ye Qiu develops well, what can those muddle-headed parents say? What can they threaten with?
