Chapter 271 We Are Family


    "Stop sitting there. Come here and join us." Abby said to Arthur. Today, Arthur was also a little different.


    He was quieter than usual. He stared at Emily with caring eyes, and secretly nced at Autumn from


    time to time.


    Abby sensed it and was worried that the serious atmosphere would make Autumn feel ufortable,


    so she called them to the table to eat. "Aunt Emily, here, let me help you up."


    She came to Emily''s side. Although the departure of Emily and Bowen wasn''t that big an impression for


    her, she knew that Emily was the most reliable person to her eldest brother. Now as it turned out, she


    was the closest person to Autumn as well. Therefore, she had great respect for Emily.


    Hearing the voice of Abby, Emily held out her hands, asking, "Are you Miss Abby?"


    "Yes, I am, Aunt Emily." Abby took Emily''s hands and replied, "It''s me, Abby."


    "Oh dear! You were about five or six years old when I left. And now you have grown up. How time really


    flies!" That''s how it is with elder people. When faced with those who they haven''t seen in a long time,


    they tend to recall the past affairs easily in their familiar surroundings. It''s as if time was on pause and it


    had just started running again.


    Very much so with Emily.


    Abby helped Emily to sit at the table and said with a bright smile on her face, "I knew that you were


    that you liked it before, but now I have no idea whether it still suits your taste. You can have a try


    shortly."


    "Great. Great. Great." Emily said "Great" three times in a row. She was really having the time of her life,


    getting this chance toe and see the Zhao family before she died. They have always regarded her


    as a member of their family, not a servant who should keep herself at a distance.


    "Autumn, pleasee and sit as well." After Abby helped Emily to the table, she also called Autumn


    over. Amy looked quite sentimental today. She went out to wipe her tears several times and Abby


    noticed. Abby knew that she was happy to have Emilye today.


    Abby and Autumn sat at either side of Emily. Emily was in such a good mood that she ate heartily.


    Seeing more smiles on her grandma''s face than usual, Autumn was happy to have made a good


    decision toe today.


    "Aunt Emily, here, have a taste of this." Abby kept putting food on Emily''s te. She really took good


    care of Emily that night. Cindy was also well-behaved that she could eat up a bowl of rice by herself


    without anyone else''s help.


    Autumn felt like crying all of a sudden, but she managed to hold back her tears.


    "Emily, these are all your favorite dishes. Tell me what you think. Are my cooking skills still good?" Amy


    was caring for Emily, too. Although Emily hadn''t been in the Zhao family house for a long time,


    everyone regarded her as part of the family. She was even regarded as the benefactor to the Zhao


    family.


    "Mrs. Zhao, your cooking skills are as superb as before. You haven''t let your skills decline." Emily


    replied with a smile.


    Autumn really felt the love and care of this family for her grandma Emily. And that night, no one brought


    up the issue of her identity. Instead, they looked after Emily and entertained her well. Emily was the


    most important person to her and this made her happy. As the saying goes, ''love me, love my dog.''


    Emily was all smiles the whole night. After dinner, all of them gathered in the living room to catch up.


    Abby sliced some fruits and put them on a te. She passed the te to Autumn, saying, "Autumn,


    here you go. Have some fruit."


    "Thanks a lot." Autumn replied as she took the te. Everyone''s face was lit withughter and Autumn


    started to enjoy every minute of it.


    "Aunt Emily is very delighted today." Abby spoke to Autumn as she sat next to her. Autumn nodded her


    head slightly, and answered, "Grandma hasn''t been so happy like this in a long time."


    "You can bring her here as often as you''d like." Abby smiled and said, "My mom and dad have a lot to


    talk about with her. she could live here and my father could observe her and check on her condition all


    the time. And aunt Emily herself would also love it here. A bright and joyful atmosphere can be


    beneficial to her health. Don''t you think so?"


    Autumn pondered on what Abby said. Abby was right. It would be good for Emily to live in the Zhao


    family house. Nheless, it seemed a bit inappropriate.


    "I know why you are hesitant." Abby easily understood what Autumn was worried about. She continued


    to exin to her, "I''m just thinking of what''s best for Aunt Emily. Both you and Charles are busy with


    your rising business. Apparently, there is no one in your home who''s always avable to take care of


    her. If she lived here, my parents could help attend to her. You cane to visit her at any time, every


    day."


    Abby shortly paused and went on, "Autumn, you need to understand that I never force you to make any


    decision. You are married now, so no one willin if you forget toe."


    "I see." Autumn sighed and told Abby her feelings, "I just think that it will...... It will be too much of a


    burden for you and your parents."


    "How can it be a burden?" Abby said to Autumn in a calm voice, "Emily is our family. And we are all


    more than willing to look after her. How can it be a burden?"


    "Autumn." Andy interrupted the twodies before Autumn could say a word. "The proposal has been


    passed. There is anotherpany simr andparable to Cloud Advertising Company. To be fair,


    thepany decided to reschedule the proposal after high-level discussions and will only allow Cloud


    Advertising Company and that counterpart to take part. And during this period, ....... I''m afraid that you


    will have to work hard."


    "That''s to be expected. It''s part of my job." Autumn answered politely. Autumn had heard of something


    of that sort from I before, so she had made full preparations for it. Having lost Light House Company


    Hearing the exchange between Autumn and Andy, Amy seized the chance to give some advise, "Look,


    Autumn is so busy with her work. Emily, why not live here with us? With the help of Arthur, your illness


    will be well under control, and Autumn can focus on her work instead of worrying about you all the time.


    What do you think?" Amy put forward the same suggestion as Abby''s. For one thing, Emily''s illness can


    be cured. For another, Autumn could devote herself to her work without any worries at the back of her


    mind.


    "I think there is no such a need. It will bother you too much." Autumn rejected it instantly. Although it


    was the most proper thing for Emily at present, Autumn still didn''t want to bring trouble to the Zhao


    family. After all, ...... There still was some estrangement between her and the Zhao family.


    "It won''t be troublesome at all, Autumn." Amy looked at Autumn with tenderness in her eyes. She said


    to Autumn, "My dear, we are family, will you consider taking care of your family as trouble?"

    Knowing her grandchild as a sensible girl, Amy had mixed feelings.


    It was the hard life that she used to live that made her such a thoughtful girl. She had taken on duties


    that other women of her age didn''t bother to even think about.


    Amy was pleased to see that Autumn had grown to be a sensible and thoughtful girl. But at the same


    time, she feltpassion for what Autumn had experienced.


    "But......" Autumn slightly grimaced. Before she could say a word, Emily called her, "Autumn, youe


    here. "
