Chapter 1133: Chapter 1175: Becoming a Grandma

Ling Yueyue didn’t answer, but she gave Ling Shenglan an answer with her actions.

Seeing Ling Shenglan very disappointed, Huo Junmo comforted her, saying, "Aunt, let’s eat first! Five years is not too long nor too short. It’s completely normal for people to change. You don’t understand now, but there’s plenty of time and opportunity to understand slowly!"

Ling Shenglan nodded and quickly echoed, "Yes, you are right. It’s been more than five years, not just Yueyue, even my tastes have changed a lot. It’s perfectly normal for her to change! I don’t know now, but I can understand gradually later!"

"Let’s eat!" Not wanting the atmosphere to continue to be awkward, Ling Yueyue reluctantly smiled at Ling Shenglan.

Even though Ling Shenglan knew this smile from Ling Yueyue wasn’t from the heart, as long as Yueyue could smile, she was already content!

After the previous incident, Ling Shenglan didn’t talk to Huo Junmo again, and the three of them silently ate with their bowls in hand.

While eating, Ling Shenglan secretly observed Huo Junmo and Ling Yueyue!

During the meal, Huo Junmo frequently picked up food for Ling Yueyue, and when he ate, he chewed slowly and carefully, clearly showing signs of a good upbringing.

Watching the loving and harmonious scene between them, Ling Shenglan couldn’t help but feel her eyes welling up!

This time, it wasn’t sadness but joy, feeling happy for her daughter!

Although this time she couldn’t take Yueyue away, knowing that she’s living happily now is enough for her, more than enough.

While Ling Yueyue and Ling Shenglan were eating, Huo Junmo had already finished eating. He put down his utensils and politely said, "I’m finished. You continue eating, I’m going to the restroom!"

"Okay!" Ling Yueyue and Ling Shenglan nodded simultaneously.

After Huo Junmo left, Ling Shenglan said contentedly while eating, "Yueyue, I can see that Junmo is a good kid, and he treats you well. He genuinely cares for you, so with him taking care of you, I feel reassured!"

"Yes, he’s indeed great, and he treats me well. Marrying him is the greatest fortune of my life! Honestly, I never expected that one day, Ling Yueyue would be loved and cherished like this!" When she spoke the last sentence, a flash of melancholy was evident in Ling Yueyue’s eyes.

She had felt neglected by her father and unloved by her mother since childhood and considered herself abandoned by the world! Fortunately, she met Huo Junmo, and for the first time, experienced being cherished and cared for!

Therefore, she felt that she didn’t come to this world in vain.

Not only Ling Yueyue, but when Ling Shenglan heard her last sentence, her eyes were filled with sorrow, and the guilt in her heart grew!

In the past twenty years, what had she done to treat her biological daughter like this? Luckily, Yueyue is strong, brave, and optimistic. If she had a fragile temperament like some other children, she wouldn’t have the life she has today!

"Yueyue, I’m sorry that I haven’t treated you well for the past twenty years, making you suffer so much! I never knew that after I left, my brother and sister-in-law made you work to earn money, and on top of that, you had to pay them living expenses each month! I just learned this from you recently! If I had known earlier, back then... back then...!" At this point, Ling Shenglan stopped talking!

If she had known this would happen, she might still choose to leave, but at least she wouldn’t give all the money to her brother and sister-in-law and instead give it directly to Yueyue so she could decide how to use it.

Ling Yueyue shrugged indifferently, "It’s okay, it’s not your fault! To put it bluntly, even my biological parents aren’t guilty, so you, as my aunt, don’t need to feel guilt, I won’t blame you! Everyone has their fate, I can only say that maybe I did too many bad things in my past life, so in this life, I was born to such parents! I’m used to it now, anyway, I’m already twenty-one years old, and to me, parents are just a formal title, nothing more!"

Listening to Ling Yueyue’s words, Ling Shenglan felt even more heartache! She was overwhelmed with guilt and regret, wishing time could turn back!

At this moment, she had countless words to say but didn’t know where to start.

Just then, Huo Junmo returned from the restroom, noticing the strange atmosphere, but didn’t say anything; instead, he sat beside Ling Yueyue and smiled at Ling Shenglan, "Aunt, if you don’t mind, you’re always welcome to visit our home! And meet Tiantian!"

Upon hearing the name, Ling Shenglan was startled and asked in confusion, "Tiantian? Who is Tiantian?"

Huo Junmo replied with a smile, "Tiantian is our daughter, she’s almost half a year old now!"

"Your daughter?" Upon hearing this, Ling Shenglan exclaimed incredulously, looking at Ling Yueyue in disbelief!

After being reunited for so long, meeting Yueyue three times, and spending every day with her brother these past few days, she had never heard that Yueyue already had a daughter!

Yueyue is now twenty-one years old, and her daughter is already half a year old, so doesn’t that mean she was pregnant at twenty?

At twenty, a woman is in her prime, in the blossoming stage of youth, yet she was already pregnant and gave birth!

After learning this, her heart was filled with mixed emotions: joy, sadness, shock, but also a deep sense of heartache!

Her joy was because she became a grandmother and has a granddaughter! Her sadness and heartache are for Yueyue’s experiences over these years!

"The first two times we met, you didn’t ask, and I didn’t say! Plus, I thought my parents would have told you, I didn’t expect them not to mention it!" Ling Yueyue seemed to have already guessed that Ling Shenglan didn’t know about her having a child! She also knew that her parents definitely didn’t tell her aunt about her having a child!

After all, her parents have always kept her whereabouts from her aunt! How could they possibly slap themselves in the face and tell her about her situation!

However, even though she knew her aunt didn’t know, she hadn’t prepared to tell her, feeling that saying or not saying made little difference; perhaps her aunt didn’t care, right?

"It’s my oversight; as a great-aunt, I should prepare something for my grand-niece! It’s all my fault for not asking properly, leading to me not preparing anything! How about this? Tomorrow is Sunday, Junmo should be off. I will go see my grand-niece! She’s already half a year old, yet I haven’t seen her once, it’s truly shameful, shameful!" Upon hearing she had a granddaughter, Ling Shenglan couldn’t wait to see her right away!

After all, it’s the first granddaughter, and the feeling of being a first-time grandma is truly delightful!

"...!" Ling Yueyue was about to refuse, but before she could, Huo Junmo quickly said: "I have a break tomorrow, and Aunt is always welcome!"
