Sister Shen revealed that Vice Captain Lu's wife, Fu Guangying, is pregnant and discussed the resolution of Vice Captain Lu's motorcycle accident. The Zhai family ultimately covered part of the compensation after Fu Guangying's actions caused complications. Later, Xinyan and her husband He Jinxuan shared a tender reunion, with He Jinxuan revealing his suspicion that Vice Captain Lu might have leverage over the Zhai family.

He Jinxuan, while slicing vegetables, quietly inquired, "I'm heading out tomorrow; where would you like to go? I'll accompany you."

Xinyan rested her forehead against his back and replied, "Let's visit Granny Zhang tomorrow. I received a call from her yesterday; it seems Uncle Shanzi and my senior sister are close to some happy news."

He Jinxuan expressed his surprise, "Is that so?"

Xinyan softly confirmed with a 'hmm', adding, "I have high hopes for them. Knowing Uncle Shanzi will be there to support my senior sister truly puts my mind at ease. Granny Zhang will undoubtedly make a wonderful mother-in-law. My senior sister's spring is finally arriving."

He Jinxuan chuckled, remarking, "Uncle Shanzi's work isn't overly demanding, allowing him ample time to care for senior sister. Their personalities also complement each other quite well; it's indeed a fortunate match."

Xinyan recalled recent conversations with her master's wife, saying, "I learned from the master's wife that when senior sister married Meng Yifei back then, neither the master nor his wife gave their approval.

However, senior sister was completely smitten at the time, and no one could sway her decision. While Meng Yifei did care for senior sister, he was overly attached to his mother and struggled to navigate disagreements effectively.

My senior sister endured considerable hardship during those years. It was a difficult journey to extricate herself from that unfortunate situation, but now that she has found someone who genuinely loves and cherishes her, I am overjoyed for her success."

He Jinxuan turned his head to look at Xinyan, gently questioning, "Wifey, regarding how you address her, isn't that title becoming a bit unsuitable now?"

Xinyan considered his words and couldn't help but laugh, responding, "You're right, but senior sister did say last time that I could call her whatever I pleased, to each their own. Still, I suspect Uncle Shanzi might object to it in the future."

A thought struck her, and she added, "I need to give serious thought to what gift I should prepare for my senior sister."

Just as the couple was sharing a tender moment, the home telephone began to ring.

Xinyan patted He Jinxuan's shoulder and said, "Keep up the good work, I'll get the phone."

With a smile, she hurried out of the room.

Upon entering, she answered the phone, saying, "Hello, who am I speaking with?"

A voice from the other end replied, "Cousin-in-law, it's me, Ye Liyan."

Before he could elaborate further, Ye Siyan's voice chimed in, "Let me speak to Auntie, I miss her so much!"

Hearing the little boy's words, Xinyan's face lit up with a smile. "Siyan, I suppose you've been having too much fun with your friends over there to spare a thought for Auntie, haven't you?"

Ye Siyan anxiously explained, "I haven't forgotten Auntie at all! It's just that we had heavy rains here recently, which damaged the phone line. It was only repaired a few days ago."

Xinyan ceased her teasing, replying, "Alright, I believe you."

She could hear the young boy let out a sigh of relief, which further widened her smile. "So, what prompted you to call today?"

The little fellow then remembered the main reason for his call. "Auntie, we have a grandpa now!"

Xinyan was momentarily stunned, asking, "What did you say?"

Ye Siyan excitedly exclaimed, "We have a grandpa! My brother and I have a grandpa, and Dad finally has his own dad – a real one!"

A sudden thought of Mr. Ye crossed Xinyan's mind. Could this truly be such a remarkable coincidence?

At that precise moment, Ye Liyan took the phone from his younger brother. "Cousin-in-law, Siyan is correct. My dad has returned from abroad, and we're planning a trip back to the Capital to bring everyone together."

Xinyan inquired, "Could your father perhaps be Mr. Ye Wande?"

Unaware that Xinyan had previously assisted his father, Ye Liyan asked, "How did you know?"

Xinyan gasped, exclaiming, "Is it really that much of a coincidence?"

Ye Liyan, sounding somewhat perplexed, inquired, "How do the two of you know each other?"

Xinyan proceeded to recount the incident on the train, also mentioning their unexpected encounter at the hospital. "It's truly a small world; who would have imagined fate weaving such a path."

Ye Liyan spoke earnestly, "Cousin-in-law, thank you. Without your timely assistance, my son and I might not have had this incredible opportunity to reunite."

Xinyan laughed, responding, "It was all meant to be. Congratulations on finding your family."

Ye Liyan considered Xinyan as a benefactor to his entire family. She had not only helped his children regain their confidence but had also saved his father, who had told him he was on the verge of not making it but was fortunate to have met a benefactor.

Indeed, Cousin-in-law was their benefactor across three generations, a kindness he would forever hold in his heart.
