Yu Jingting also came out of the house.

When Wang Cuihua saw him, her mood soured, thinking about questioning him, but she was restrained by Siye.

"This is none of your business, go back to sleep," Siye said.

Yu Jingting then turned back, went into the house, and unplugged the phone line.

"Why are you unplugging the phone line?" Suizi’s eyes could hardly open, as she was exhausted from the day’s events.

"Some psychopath has taken an interest in our home, got scolded by mom, unplug the line, we’ll talk about it tomorrow if there’s anything."

Although Yu Jingting didn’t know what had happened, judging from his mother’s forceful roar, it definitely wasn’t anything good.

Suizi was truly exhausted and fell asleep as soon as she lay down.

Wang Cuihua was dragged back to her own bedroom by Siye, and she asked him in a lowered voice:

"Why won’t you let me ask Tiegen where my scissors have gone? Fetch the sharpening stone for me, and sharpen it quickly. If he dares to do anything disloyal to Suizi, I’ll cut him."

Siye was both amused and exasperated.

"Even if it comes to cutting, it won’t be your turn, wouldn’t Suizi do it herself? Besides, what time is it now, we can talk about it tomorrow if there’s anything."

Wang Cuihua was someone who couldn’t keep things bottled up, feeling like she was about to explode with even the slightest provocation.

Lying there, she couldn’t sleep at all, recalling the phone call from earlier, a point appeared in the distant memory, slowly connecting into a pattern, bringing to mind things that had been shelved in her memories.

She suddenly sat up, slapping a hand on Siye’s chest.

Siye was just falling asleep when her sudden alarm jolted him awake.

"What now?" Siye propped up his head to one side, and from this angle, he noted that Cuihua’s figure wasn’t bad.

At this age, she could still defy gravity, without any drooping, tsk.

"Why do I feel like, this type of late-night phone calling routine seems familiar? When you first came back, weren’t there also women who brought kids to our doorstep?"

It turned out that those kids had no relation to Siye at all, although one child did share some blood ties with him, and it was through this incident that he found his biological father.

Siye yawned; his Cuihua was slow to catch on, only now thinking of this.

"So, is someone trying to set Tiegen up?" Wang Cuihua realized belatedly. These soap opera tricks, her family had been through them all!

Patted her chest in relief, good thing she hadn’t really grabbed the scissors to snip at her son.

"Don’t you know what kind of character your son has? Thinking he could mess around behind Suizi’s back, he would need not only the will but also the courage to do so. Do we not have a family ethos that he is aware of? If he really dared to mess around, I would cripple him myself, and you would cut him, no need for Suizi to lift a finger."

"Should I find out the truth and tell Suizi, or should I just say it now?" Wang Cuihua began to waver, even feeling an impulse to tie up her son and hand him over to Suizi for punishment.

"Just relax, the young couple doesn’t need us worrying about this kind of stuff for them," Siye reassured.

Siye anticipated Suizi’s reaction; the next morning at breakfast, when Wang Cuihua tentatively brought up the matter, Suizi nearly sprayed out her millet porridge with laughter.

Apparently, her mother-in-law had pretended to be her and cursed someone out last night, which was kind of cute.

Looking at Suizi laughing so joyfully, Yu Jingting felt a nameless spark of irritation. Was this young lady treating this like a show?

"I’m laughing at the stupidity of our adversary, right?" Suizi saw Yu Jingting’s frustrated little expression and struggled not to laugh out loud.

His expression was too adorable, with a sense of aggrieved purity—Suizi dared not voice that thought, fearing it might ruffle his feathers.

In her heart, though, she thought that her man was indeed the epitome of "male virtue," quite adorable.

"I already have an idea who’s behind this, mom and dad, you don’t need to worry. They won’t be able to stir up any trouble."

Suizi’s words drew the attention of the whole family, even Yu Jingting slightly frowned, for he was unaware of the matter she claimed to already know the perpetrator of.

The phone in the living room rang, and Yu Jingting sprang to his feet, answering the call with a murderous look.

"Who are you looking for?" he snapped, impolitely.

There was a moment of hesitation on the other end before a boy’s voice came through:

"Dad?"

"Damn! What the hell are you yelling about? Who the hell do you think I am to you?! Get lost!" Yu Jingting cursed, about to slam down the phone.

Just last night some woman with a face like a toad had called looking for him, and now a son shows up?

"Dad... Are you in a bad mood? Then, can I speak to Mom?" The little boy on the other end of the line said, his voice trembling.

Yu Jingting realized who it was.

"Dongdong?"

When Suizi heard Dongdong’s name, she immediately stood up, glared at Yu Jingting, and shoved him aside.

This was no random kid causing trouble by falsely claiming a father; this was Suizi’s godson, Ma Dong.

He had saved Luoluo, who was kidnapped by a gang of criminals just after she was born. Without him and his grandmother, Luoluo would not have survived.

In gratitude, Suizi and her husband asked the boy to recognize them as his godparents, promising to financially support his education through university.

Because the child’s parents were both gone, and he became extremely withdrawn for a while, Suizi simply had him call her "Mom" outright and address Yu Jingting as "Dad."

Ma Dong lived in Dongbei with his grandmother, and Suizi would call from time to time to check on his studies and general wellbeing. Besides financial aid, she also paid great attention to his psychological health, sending a letter each week.

The boy was doing very well in his studies, very mature and sensible for his age.

Suizi always felt happy after talking to him on the phone, but today her mood was different, her expression solemn after ending the call.

"What’s wrong?" Yu Jingting asked.

"Dongdong’s grandmother... seems to be in poor health," Suizi said, her own heart heavy as she recalled the child’s choked-up voice.

"He told me his grandmother fainted and he took her to the hospital, but the doctors refused to discuss her condition with him, insisting that an adult from the family come."

That alone suggested it was a serious illness. With no other relatives, the person Dongdong most trusted was Suizi and her husband, far away in Beijing.

"Dongdong just told me he’s thinking about selling the house to pay for his grandmother’s treatment, fearful of troubling us," Suizi said, her eyes becoming red-rimmed.

Wang Cuihua, too, couldn’t help but wipe away tears. It’s always the finer strands that break first; Dongdong was only ten years old, and yet he was already so conscientious.

"Nonsense, that house is what his parents left him to live on; as long as we’re here, he won’t need to sell the house. I’ll make arrangements," Yu Jingting said decisively as he went to find the address book, dialing his connections in Dongbei to have someone hurry to the hospital and find out what was going on.

The news they found out was grave.

Dongdong’s grandmother was already in the late stages of cancer.

That’s why the doctor wouldn’t talk to the child, only agreeing to discuss the condition with an adult.

The doctor’s exact words were to suggest conservative treatment at home, which, frankly, meant to quietly wait for death, to let the old woman eat whatever she wanted, drink whatever she wanted, as she likely had no more than half a year left.

Wang Cuihua was very distressed; after all, it was this grandmother and grandchild who had saved Luoluo. Hearing such news was very hard to bear.

After consulting with Yu Jingting, Suizi made a swift decision: immediately arrange for the elderly woman and Dongdong to be brought over to Beijing to find a good hospital for another check-up, and leave the rest to destiny.
