Several younger relatives came out with Third Uncle Ye and Aunt Ye. Compared to the love and affection that Third Uncle Ye and Aunt Ye showed to Ye Mo, the younger relatives were more curious about Ye Mo. Among these curious gazes, there was one gaze that was completely undisguised and full of malice as it stared at Ye Mo.

Ye Mo followed the gaze and saw a boy with a fierce expression staring straight at her.

Ye Mo tilted his head slightly and asked Ye Sen beside him with a smile, "... Who's that idiot on my left who's glaring at me like that?"

Ye Sen looked over and replied, "Oh, that's our cousin, my aunt's youngest son, Fang Yi'en. He's thirteen this year, the age when everyone dislikes him. He should be..."

He hesitated for a moment, then said uncertainly, "This kid should be in the second year of junior high school this year?"

Ye Mo looked at him with a somewhat speechless expression, "You don't even know what grade your own cousin is in?"

Ye Sen said bluntly, "I'm not that close to him, how would I know what grade he's in? But he and Baozhu are the best in the family, every time Baozhu comes over he calls her Sister Baozhu, Sister Baozhu '..."

At this point, Ye Sen paused for a moment, as if he had thought of something.

"Is he looking at you so fiercely because of Baozhu?" he asked uncertainly, then couldn't help but remind Ye Mo, "This guy is no good. He loves playing pranks and teasing people. Be careful not to let him bully you!"

"If he thinks he can bully me, then come on, I'm looking forward to it." Ye Mo chuckled, while giving Fang Yi'en a bright and friendly smile.

"..."

Unsurprisingly, she saw Fang Yi'en's face immediately show an expression of disgust, and then he glared at Ye Mo even more fiercely, his eyes and expression filled with unwelcomeness towards Ye Mo.

Ye Mo's smile was bright, gentle, and harmless, but her words betrayed a completely different story. She laughed and said, "If this kid really wants to do something to me, then don't blame me for being ruthless as his older sister."

Ye Sen: "..."

Ye Sen looked speechless, then glanced at Ye Mo with a troubled expression and whispered, "I forgot, you're no better than me."

Ye Mo was not ashamed, but rather proud, and said with pride, "Thank you for the praise, Third Brother."

Upon hearing this, Ye Sen's face once again showed an expression of being choked up.

The group entered the Ye Family smoothly. The main areas of the mansion were heated by underfloor heating. As soon as they entered the living room, a warm breeze hit them. Ye Mo, who was shivering from the cold wind, couldn't help but exhale comfortably.

--She's really afraid of the cold, and of course, she's also very afraid of the heat.

Ye Zhipeng took Ye Mo to see his grandmother. The grandmother was quite old and had caught a cold after being out in the cold wind for a couple of days, which was why she looked so listless.

She was wearing a cheongsam with a shawl draped over her shoulders. Her frail body looked thin and frail, but her overall demeanor was exceptionally elegant and dignified, making one want to imagine how radiant and beautiful she must have been in her youth.

Upon seeing Ye Zhipeng and his group, a smile immediately appeared on her face. She waved in Ye Mo's direction and said, "Baozhu, come here quickly."

"Grandmother!"

Ye Baozhu nestled into the old lady's arms like a swallow returning to its nest, and said sweetly, "Grandma, Baozhu missed you so much..."

Grandma Ye hugged Ye Baozhu, calling her "my darling" repeatedly. She then cupped Ye Baozhu's face and examined it carefully, her voice filled with heartache. "Oh dear, our Baozhu's face has become so thin. Did your parents mistreat you?"

As she said this, she glared at Ye Zhipeng and his wife, her eyes filled with resentment, clearly feeling that Ye Zhipeng and his wife had wronged her precious granddaughter.

As for Ye Mo, who was standing to the side and whose face was somewhat unfamiliar, she only glanced at him lightly, without really focusing her gaze on him.

Ye Mo instantly understood: Well, it seems the old lady isn't very welcoming of his arrival.

As for the reason for not being welcome...

Seeing the way she hugged Ye Baozhu and called her "darling," Ye Mo felt he had figured out the truth—the old lady probably felt that his appearance had caused her precious granddaughter to suffer.

Well, actually, she wasn't wrong. After all, Ye Baozhu had never gotten the better of Ye Mo.

Seeing that the old lady was only focused on talking to Ye Baozhu and seemed to ignore everyone else, Ye Zhipeng felt a little embarrassed and couldn't help but call out, "Mom..."

He pulled Ye Mo over and introduced her, "This is Momo, your granddaughter, and my daughter!"

Upon hearing this, the old lady lifted her eyelids, and her gaze finally fell on Ye Mo.

Ye Mo smiled and politely greeted, "Grandma."

The old woman snorted and said, "I know she's your biological daughter. You've told me that several times already. I'm not senile yet... I just have a question for you. What do you plan to do with Baozhu? You're not going to send Baozhu away just because you found your biological daughter, are you? Let me tell you, I will absolutely not agree to that!"

Hearing the old lady's words, Ye Baozhu was immediately moved to tears, looking at her with pleading eyes. "Grandma..."

The old lady hugged her and said firmly, "Baozhu, don't worry, Grandma won't let anyone bully you."

Ye Mo:???

She looked around and asked the old lady directly, "Madam Ye, the person you're talking about who bullied your precious granddaughter, could it be me? Let me make it clear, I didn't bully your precious granddaughter!"

So, stop staring at her with a wary look.

Old lady. "... What did you call me?"

Ye Mo smiled and said, "Madam Ye, I haven't called you by the wrong name, have I? You are the matriarch of the Ye Family."

Aunt Ye reminded her, "... Momo, you are Grandma's own granddaughter, you should call her Grandma."

Ye Mo smiled and said in a flat tone, "Auntie, you're joking. I don't think the old lady likes me very much. How could I possibly have the nerve to try and establish a family connection with her?"

"..."

The scene fell silent. Aunt Ye Mo's personality, stared at her in surprise. Ye Mo Ye Mo's attitude was indeed very respectful and polite, but the implication in her words seemed to be: since the old lady didn't acknowledge her as her granddaughter, then she had no reason to acknowledge the old lady as her grandmother?

So, is that what you mean?

Third Uncle Ye couldn't help but look at Ye Zhipeng, his eyes asking her, "Brother, is your own daughter really this fierce?"

Ye Zhipeng: "..." He knew it.

"Although Baozhu isn't my biological daughter!" Ye Zhipeng chose to directly change the subject, "I've raised her for so many years, and to me, she's more than just a biological child... So, even if we find Momo, we don't plan to let her leave. She's still my and A-Yue's child. Our Ye Family isn't going to raise another daughter."

Grandma Ye didn't say anything, she just kept staring at Ye Mo, clearly she was very upset by what Ye Mo had just said.

Ye Mo chose to ignore her obvious gaze.

He flashed a perfect eight-tooth smile, his manners and etiquette were impeccable, and he appeared extremely polite and courteous, showing no disrespect whatsoever to the old lady.

But she was just too formal and polite. She probably treated any elderly person she met on the street with more warmth than she did the old lady.

Grandma Ye: I'm so angry!

Ye Zhipeng was really afraid that his mother would get sick from Ye Mo, so he quickly said, "... Mom, let's go put the luggage away first!"
