Arranged marriage, love blossoms: Marrying into a wealthy family while holding a miniature version o

mom……

This word was completely unfamiliar to Zhou Yi, yet he longed for it immensely.

So much so that when she heard that word, she froze for a moment and forgot to respond.

"Add red, I'll tell Yiyi."

A gentle voice came from the phone, and Zhou Yi's pounding heart instantly froze, the heat rising in her chest turning cold.

Her mother died the moment she was born; she has no mother.

She longed for her mother to live, but that was impossible.

At that moment, her aunt's sudden words caused her mind to go blank for a brief time, but a glimmer of hope still subconsciously arose in her heart.

I hope my mother is still alive.

I hope everyone will say that the news of my mother's passing is false.

But now, hearing the unfamiliar voice coming from the phone, her hopes were shattered.

If her mother were still alive, how could she bear to abandon her?

She has no mother.

Her biological mother had already passed away.

However, in real life, she does have a mother.

My stepmother, in name only, but whom I have never met.

Sun Huilan.

After Sun Huilan spoke, she took the phone from Li Jiahong's hand and called out gently, "Yiyi?"

As Zhou Yi listened to that incredibly natural and friendly voice, it was as if she really was Sun Huilan's daughter, and Sun Huilan was her mother.

but not.

This voice was completely unfamiliar to Zhou Yi.

This person is also a stranger.

Zhou Yi gripped the phone tightly with her fingertips and parted her lips: "Hello."

Her voice was polite and well-behaved, with a natural air of aloofness.

Sun Huilan's eyes flickered, and a gentle smile appeared on her face, like that of a mother.

"Yiyi, Mom heard that your grandma is sick, so I came to the hospital to visit her. But why are there so many people guarding the ward? Even when I came to see your grandma, they wouldn't let me in. What's going on?"

Sun Huilan's words were gentle and motherly, without a trace of blame, only questions and confusion.

It didn't seem unusual for her to be kept out of the ward, and she wasn't angry at all.

As Zhou Yi listened to Sun Huilan's words, all the events from last night to today flashed through his mind.

Grandma's condition has always been stable, and my third aunt has been taking care of her without any problems.

Under such circumstances, Grandma wouldn't suddenly become so seriously ill; there must have been a trigger.

When she learned about her grandmother's condition last night, she smashed her phone and didn't talk to her aunt after that. When she got to the hospital, she thought that her aunt and the others hadn't rested, so she told them to rest. After they went back, she stayed with her grandmother until she fell asleep. She still hasn't asked her aunt why her grandmother suddenly became like this.

But now, listening to the voice coming from the phone, she roughly knew the reason.

After Sun Huilan finished speaking, Zhou Yi sorted out his thoughts and said, "It's like this, Grandma just came out of the operating room and needs to rest. There shouldn't be too many people around her, and it's best if there aren't any unprofessional people around, so as not to affect her recovery."

"So professional caregivers and nurses took care of Grandma in the hospital to keep her condition stable."

"We also have bodyguards around to prevent any unexpected situations from affecting Grandma. Please don't mind."

Grandma's condition is likely related to Sun Huilan. If Sun Huilan visits Grandma at this time, it might affect Grandma's condition.

Therefore, Zhou Yi was clearly implying that Sun Huilan should not go to see her grandmother.

Zhou Yi's voice was soft, like a little lamb, without a trace of harshness or ferocity. She was so soft that it sounded like she could be crushed with a single touch.

But ironically, the words spoken in such a voice are extremely powerful, leaving you momentarily speechless.

An unexpected look flashed across Sun Huilan's eyes.

His complexion changed slightly.

However, her complexion quickly returned to normal, and no one could tell that she was different; she still looked like a loving mother.

"So that's how it is. Mom didn't think of that."

"It's alright, you're new here and don't know about Grandma's condition."

"But you don't need to worry. There are professional nurses and doctors in the ward who are taking good care of Grandma. Her condition is very stable now, so you can rest assured."

Zhou Yi's voice always conveyed the respect a junior should have for an elder, without any perfunctory or dismissive attitude.

There was no dissatisfaction.

Sun Huilan is her brother's biological mother, and her brother has helped her a lot. Although she knows that her parents' divorce is related to Sun Huilan, she still doesn't want to involve the grudges of the previous generation in the next generation.

The previous generation is the previous generation, and this generation is this generation, just like how my brother has always helped her without asking for anything in return.

"Hehe, I feel relieved to hear you say that."

"But it's all Mom's fault."

“I shouldn’t have left so early yesterday. I should have spent some time with your grandma, even if she’s a bit of a staunch confidante to me…”

Before she could finish speaking, Sun Huilan stopped.

Zhou Yi listened to her words, her eyelashes fluttering slightly, without making a sound.

Sun Huilan seemed to realize that she had said something she shouldn't have. After pausing for a few seconds, she said remorsefully, "In short, it's all Mom's fault."

"Luckily your grandma is alright now, otherwise I wouldn't know what to do."

"Sigh, let's not talk about this anymore."

"Where are you now? I've never seen you before, let me see you."

It seems that Zhou Yi is Sun Huilan's daughter who was abducted by human traffickers. Now that she has finally found her daughter, she can't wait to see her.

Hearing her hypocritical words, Li Jiahong, who was already dissatisfied, became even more so.

She couldn't help but roll her eyes.

After listening to Sun Huilan finish speaking, Zhou Yi replied, "I'm at the hotel now, I'll be there in a bit, please wait a moment."

She was originally going to the hospital, but now that her brother's mother has arrived, she can go and greet her.

Her brother's mother was not a relative to her.

They are guests.

An elder guest.

"Hehe, okay, Mom, wait a minute, no rush, take your time."

"it is good."

"Then Mom won't say anything more. Mom will give the phone to your third aunt."

"Ok."

Sun Huilan smiled and handed the phone to Li Jiahong. Li Jiahong's complexion finally improved. She took the phone and walked away, smiling as she said, "Zhou Yi."

Upon hearing Li Jiahong's voice, Zhou Yi smiled and said, "Third Aunt, I'll be there in a bit. Please entertain Aunt Sun."

Zhou Yi directly addresses Sun Huilan as Aunt Sun, not Mother.

A satisfied smile instantly appeared on Li Jiahong's face.

After all, it was a family matter of the Zhou family, so she couldn't say anything, but Zhou Yi's words made Li Jiahong feel particularly happy.

Although the child is young, he is a very sensible child.

"Okay, Auntie understands."

"Take your time, don't rush, everything is safe here."

"it is good."

After exchanging a few words with Li Jiahong, Zhou Yi hung up the phone and checked the time.

It's past four, almost five o'clock.

Why so fast?

"Ahhh~ Ahhh~"

The little guy's voice came from his arms, clearly indicating that Zhou Yi had finished his call and was about to speak.

Zhou Yi put down her phone, looked at the little one whose mouth was moving non-stop, and said with a smile, "Yu Yu, Aunt Zhou Yi's grandma is still in the hospital. Aunt Zhou Yi has to go see her and will be back tonight. Don't cry, okay? Wait for Aunt Zhou Yi to come back tonight."

"Aunt Zhou Yi slept with Yu Yu at night."

Zhou Yi told the little guy about the situation without hiding anything.

It's like talking to a big child; you don't treat the little guy like a clueless doll at all.

The little one looked at her with big, bright eyes and exclaimed, "Ya ya~ ya ya~"

Zhou Yi smiled: "Before Aunt Zhou Yi comes back, Yu Yu can play with Grandma Dong, okay?"

"Ahhh~ Ahhh~"

Zhou Yi wasn't sure if the little guy understood, but seeing his serious expression, she assumed he did.

“Then let’s go out now and let Grandma Dong stay with Yuyu.”

After saying that, Zhou Yi put her phone in her pocket, picked up the little guy, and left the bedroom.

In the living room, Aunt Dong was wearing glasses and reading a book, learning about childcare.

Although she is old, she believes in the saying "one is never too old to learn."

Of course, the main reason is the influence of Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi was very studious, and she encouraged them to learn as well.

Hearing the sound, Aunt Dong looked over, then took off her glasses and came over: "Miss Zhou, you're awake?"

"Yes, Aunt Dong, I have to go to the hospital now and will be back around 9 or 10 p.m. Until then, I'll have to trouble you to look after Yu Yu."

"It's alright, Miss Zhou, you can go without worry. The young master shouldn't cry anymore."

If Zhou Yi said that, then it means he had already made arrangements with the young master.

Once Zhou Yi and the young master agree on the terms, the young master will not cry.

They've all figured out the pattern.

Zhou Yi smiled and said, "She shouldn't cry, but if Yu Yu cries halfway through, you can call me anytime."

"Ok."

After agreeing with Aunt Dong, Zhou Yi handed the little one over to her.

The little one didn't struggle and obediently let Aunt Dong hold him.

However, he looked at Zhou Yi with his big eyes, his eyelashes fluttering.

They seemed to be waiting for Zhou Yi to do something.

Seeing his adorable waiting expression, Zhou Yi kissed him on the cheek and waved to him.

The little guy smiled and waved to Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi left the suite with a cheerful smile.

After leaving the suite, Zhou Yi went straight to the first floor, took the elevator, and left the hotel.

She went outside to the street, looked at the cars on both sides, and waited for a taxi.

But a moment later, a black car stopped in front of her.
