Chapter 718: Chapter 718: The Heterochromia Appears Again 12

Ye Ning looked confusedly toward the elder: "Dad, what’s wrong? Why can’t Mom come to eat? Has something happened to her?"

The old man’s lips quivered a few times, his face suddenly becoming somewhat stiff.

Actually, he didn’t want to confine that woman in the backyard during the New Year, but that damn boy said to keep her away from this daughter-in-law, so he had no choice but to comply.

He hesitated, next to him, the daughter-in-law, oblivious of past affairs, spoke up again: "Auntie, you don’t need to look at Dad, just go and let her come over, say it’s on my account, don’t be afraid."

"Madam..."

"Go on, it’s fine!" Ye Ning added, her expression entirely that of someone in charge.

Seeing this, the old servant, thinking of her current status in the estate, happily agreed and went off to the backyard.

The elder, upon seeing this, wanted to say something more, but after thinking it over, in the end, he decided not to interfere and let her do as she wished.

This situation had been at a stalemate, and it wasn’t helping matters; that wretched woman was still that damn boy’s mother, and this girl was his wife. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were bound to meet; they couldn’t avoid each other forever.

Considering this, it might be better to let them meet now, taking advantage of the son’s absence.

So he refrained from making any more comments and just quietly waited in the living room for the woman he had locked in the backyard to come over.

In two or three minutes, following the hurried sound of high heels approaching, all those seated in the living room looked up to see a well-dressed middle-aged woman, wearing a sapphire blue coat and fine high heels, appear before them.

She was a very beautiful woman, and even though she was in her forties or fifties, Ye Ning immediately recognized from her seat that she must have been stunningly beautiful in her youth, nearly impossible to look away from.

It turned out that her husband’s extraordinary looks all came from his mother.

Ye Ning looked toward her and smiled softly, "Mom, come and sit down!"

At that statement, Bai Tingfang, who had come running from the backyard, suddenly froze in place!

Mom?

She was calling her Mom? Asking her to come over?

She stared blankly at her, her expression as if struck by unexpected lightning, completely dumbfounded.

This turn of events was something she had never imagined. This woman had woken up; she knew that. She had heard of how the large doses of medication had severely affected her body.

But she had never thought that the side effect would be a failure to recognize even her, Bai Tingfang, and could still smile so genuinely and call her "Mom."

Bai Tingfang felt her fingers trembling...

The elder sat there, his heart lifted high with anticipation as he observed the situation unfold. To his surprise, it culminated in the girl with no memory initiating the introduction with a simple "Mom."

Was this a good beginning?

His eyes suddenly moistened. Seeing the woman still standing at the doorway, motionless, he raised his hoarse voice and barked at her, "What are you standing there for? Didn’t you hear your daughter-in-law calling you?"

"Ah... Oh!!"

It was only then that Bai Tingfang came to her senses. Immediately, her lips trembling slightly, she stepped forward from the doorway and for the first time, cautiously stood in front of the young girl.
