“Who are you looking for?” Shu Jianyang’s door didn’t open; his neighbor’s one did.
“We are looking the owner of this place.” Old Mrs. Ye saw the neighbor opening up the door and said in tear, “The family that lives here is the brother of my former daughter-in-little assistant. My daughter-in-law was such an awful person! She took the children with her during the divorce and wouldn’t let me see them again. It had been over a year and I have no idea where my grandson and granddaughter are, if they had grown any or lost any weight. My grandchildren! This is killing me!”
The neighbor knew Shu Jianyang and they had an amicable relationship. They felt a little dubious when they heard the old lady’s words.
“Knocking on the door isn’t going to get you anywhere. He’s not home.” The neighbor figured that they would just take care of the situation for now.
“Where is his company then? I’ll go look for him there. I mean no harm. I only want to see my grandchildren.”
The neighbor wanted to see they didn’t know and had them come back at a different time. Another woman walked out from across from them and gave old Mr. and Mrs. Ye the address of Jianyang’s company with a pitiful look.
When they reached the company, the receptionists wouldn’t let them in. Old Mrs. Ye dropped onto the floor, slapped her thighs, and cried, “Shu Yan, you come out. Even if you are divorced, you can’t not let me see my grandson and granddaughter. They are my precious! It had been over a year and grandma misses you! Have you lost any weight? Grandma had been taking care of you since you were born and you must be crying for me without me around. Aiya, my precious! My grandson and granddaughter!”
“Boss Shu, an old couple came looking for you downstairs. They said they were your sister’s former father- and mother-in-law and demanded to see you. The old lady is making a scene downstairs.”
Ye Zhiqiang’s parents? Shu Jianyang raised his brows some. “Okay, I get it.”
Shu Jianyang was taken aback a little when he saw Ye Zhiqiang’s parents. This couple had been very spry since Ye Zhiqiang had become successful. They looked at least 10 years older now.
“Uncle, Aunty, what are you two doing?” Shu Jianyang glanced over at the people nearby. “And what are you all doing just watching an old lady sitting on the ground? Hurry up and help her get up and get a seat.”
Old Mrs. Ye stopped fussing now that Shu Jianyang had showed up. She was a little intimidated by Shu Jianyang. She didn’t want to push him so far that he could come to their house at night and had her and her husband killed.
“I heard that Shu Yan had come back. Where are my grandson and granddaughter? Where are they? She can’t not let me see my grandson and granddaughter even if they are divorced. That isn’t how things work,” said Old Mrs. Ye urgently.
“Aunty, you knew what happened. It was Ye Zhiqiang who didn’t want to keep the children. You might not believe me but I have them in writing. Why don’t you go ask Ye Zhiqiang. He said to not have the kids look for him in the future. So I have no idea why you are fussing here with me. It’s Ye Zhiqiang that you need to fuss with.”
“He might have agreed but I didn’t. You are a bunch of robbers. You had your brother came to take the children away and robbed Tianbao from me.” Old Mrs. Ye’s heart ached when she thought about it. She never would have expected that the honest and docile Shu Yan would have changed so much all of a sudden.
“Old Mrs. Ye, you need evidences to make such an accusation. When did we cheat you? What was wrong with the children’s mother asking her brother to pick up her children for her when she missed them?” Shu Jianyang stretched out her hands. “I am done talking with you. Go and talk go Ye Zhiqiang. If you keep making a scene here, I am going to call the cops.”
Ye Zhiqiang truly had no idea that his parents were coming here today. He regretted a lot right now that he let Shu Yan had their son.

Translator’s rambling:
This is so aggravating. It wasn’t even about them missing the children (because they didn’t care about Jingjing at all). It was all about the son. That is so messed up!
