Ever since that phone call with Ye Mu, Ye Qiu couldn't stay put in City C anymore. She quickly handed over all her affairs to Lawyer Zhao to manage and would only return when she needed to appear in court or to liquidate assets.
In City T, a third-tier city, Ye Fu and Ye Mu ran a small business next to an elementary school. Now, during the summer vacation, they weren't busy. When Ye Qiu and her daughter arrived at the storefront, her parents were tidying up the shelves. Seeing her parents' gradually aging figures, Ye Qiu was choked up and couldn't speak.
"Dad, Mom, I'm back."
Hearing the familiar voice, Ye Fu and his wife turned around incredulously; Ye Mu was still holding a box of pencils, which now fell to the ground with a "bang".
"Why did you suddenly come back?" Ye Mu turned around and stealthily wiped away a tear, "You, this child, didn't even give your dad and me a heads-up."
