Chapter 460: Chapter 249: Verbal Agreement_1

Yixiu could imagine the expression on Grandpa Pan’s face, and her heart was truly unwilling to let it go. But considering that Yueniang had lost her memory and still didn’t want anything to do with him, he must have deeply hurt her in the past. Since it was so, it seemed only right for Yixiu to help Yueniang torment Prince Consort Pan and collect some interest.

With this thought, the flicker of remorse she felt earlier dispersed with the wind. As she passed by a large tree, she even hid behind it to take a look back and saw Prett boy Pan still standing there, looking extremely desolate.

On her way home from school, she encountered Prince Consort Pan standing under a tree again, holding a grass hat adorned with flowers, woven from willow branches. Yixiu thought to herself that Grandpa Pan really had run out of tricks, using such things to woo a girl. Sadly, she wasn’t a real little loli. Moreover, these things were plentiful in the countryside; many village women even made and sold them near Daci Temple to earn some money.

As she approached, Prince Consort Pan stepped forward and said, "Yixiu, Grandpa Pan made this himself. Do you like it? Grandpa Pan’s daughter used to love the flower hats he wove for her..."

Yixiu still walked on without a sideways glance, leaving behind a dejected Prett boy Pan.

Upon her return to Wangjiang Building, Yixiu told Yueniang about how she had ignored that "very, very handsome man" and exaggerated how disappointed and sad the man was.

Upon hearing this, Cheng Yue’s eyes reddened, and after sitting in a daze for a while, she began to cry, sobbing heartbrokenly.

Was this a contradiction? She didn’t want her daughter to deal with Prett boy Pan, but she herself was saddened upon hearing of his distress.

Oh, the kind-hearted Yueniang. How could Prince Consort Pan have the heart to hurt such a sweet daughter in the first place!

At noon, Qian Yeejin returned from school to find Cheng Yue still weeping, and no amount of effort on Yixiu’s part could console her.

When Yeejin arrived, he decided not to stay for lunch. He whispered to Yixiu, "Sister, try to comfort Mother again. Brother will go talk to Grandpa Pan to see what misunderstandings they had in the past. With Father not at home, and both Grandfather and Grandmother getting on in years, it’s Brother’s responsibility as the eldest son to resolve these issues." Then, he puffed out his chest and walked away.

Yixiu also wanted to talk to Grandpa Pan, but it would have to wait a few days. She first wanted to claim some interest for Yueniang before talking.

After dinner, Cheng Yue, her eyes still swollen from crying, played in front of Wangjiang Building with Yixiu, Ming Wa, and Jingjing.

When Yeejin returned, after paying respects to his mother, he pulled his sister aside and whispered, "I’ve talked to Grandpa Pan. Grandpa admits that in the past, due to certain reasons, he neglected his wife and children and did things that hurt them... Grandpa has already regretted it, and he has lived these years in self-reproach and missing Mother. He says he understands Mother’s resentments and will do his utmost to heal her emotional wounds so she can recover from her illness as soon as possible... When Grandpa heard how sad Mother was today, he cried. I think Grandpa truly realizes his mistakes and I really want to forgive him, but thinking of the pain he caused Mother, I also don’t want to forgive him. It’s all so confusing. Why would he hurt such a wonderful daughter, my sister? Oh, Brother is terribly conflicted."

The siblings discussed for a long time and decided that they should keep their distance from Grandpa Pan, avoiding too much contact with him, especially not letting the younger brothers and sisters interact with him. At the same time, they thought they should comfort Yueniang more...

Time passed in a cycle of Grandpa Pan’s eager attempts and Cheng Yue’s cool detachment from him.

However, Yixiu would always run into Grandpa Pan on her way to and from school, come rain or shine. Gradually, her heart softened a little; she would nod at him or give a small smile. This filled Grandpa Pan with immense satisfaction, his smile as bright as the autumn sun.

Furthermore, whenever Cheng Yueniang and her children stepped out of Wangjiang Building, Grandpa Pan would always appear within their sight. At first, as soon as Yueniang saw him, she quickly took the children away.

But as time went on, if Prince Consort Pan didn’t come any closer, and with the persuasion from Yixiu and Yeejin, Yueniang would no longer avoid him. As Yixiu and Jinwa had said, it was their home, after all; why should they have to hide?

What Yueniang didn’t know was that Grandpa Pan did in fact move closer, but at a distance not easily perceived with the naked eye. Initially, from a hundred meters away, he slowly shortened the distance by a step or two or three at a time.

By the time Grandpa Pan had closed the gap to about a hundred meters, it was mid-September. Old Duke Liang wanted to return to Capital City, but Prince Consort Pan was preoccupied daily with mending his relationship with his daughter and grandson and showed no desire to leave. Old Duke Liang did not want to wait any longer and considered returning by himself. Before leaving, he wanted to finalize a certain matter with Qian Sangui.
