30: Chapter 30: They Are All Bad Guys 30: Chapter 30: They Are All Bad Guys Mu Yunlie remained silent.
Old Lady Yan was patient but asked again, “Why isn’t Ah Lie talking?”
Mu Yunlie hesitated for a moment and finally spoke.
But what he said was shocking, “My wife says that everyone in the family is a bad person, and I can’t talk to bad people.”
Yan Qianyi, who was drinking water, almost spat it out.
Could this guy be any dumber?
She still wanted to play the sweet and obedient child in the Yan Family.
How could she possibly feign that now?
Tonight, she really needed to check Mu Yunlie thoroughly to see if the toxins had affected his IQ!
Old Lady Yan glared fiercely at Yan Qianyi.
When she looked back to Mu Yunlie, her expression switched to one of gentleness, “That’s right, they are all bad, but grandma isn’t bad.
Tell grandma, who else is in your family?”
Mu Yunlie looked at Yan Qianyi as if seeking her opinion.
After Yan Qianyi gave a nod, he replied, “I am an orphan.
There is only me at home.”
On the way back, Yan Qianyi had made an arrangement with Mu Yunlie that if the Yan Family kept asking about his family, he should simply say he was an orphan.
It was easier that way.
After all, she didn’t want to delve into Mu Yunlie’s family background.
Experience told her that the more she knew, the quicker she would die.
So earlier on the hillside, after she had asked Mu Yunlie to wake up Ah Chang, aside from inquiring about the address, she didn’t take the opportunity to dig for other personal information.
Han Yarong, upon hearing this, showed a contemptuous look.
In contrast, Old Lady Yan was truly upset.
Her gaze at Mu Yunlie became even more sympathetic, “Poor child, this place is your home from now on.
Grandma is your family.
You are no longer an orphan.”
Yan Hong finally couldn’t take it anymore, “Mom, didn’t we agree before…
“Shut up!” Old Lady Yan was in no mood to deal with her son now.
Her entire focus was on Mu Yunlie, piling up the dishes in the bowl in front of him.
Yan Ruyi, who hadn’t spoken until now, couldn’t help but remind her, “Grandma, about the Mu Family…”
“You shut up, too!” Old Lady Yan snapped at Yan Ruyi irritably, “Don’t call me grandma, I don’t have a granddaughter like you.
My only granddaughter is Qianyi.”
She then turned to look at Mu Yunlie with a narrowed smile, her voice softened again, “Now I also have Ah Lie as my grandson-in-law.”
At those words, Yan Qianyi looked up.
Seeing Yan Ruyi biting on her chopsticks, head lowered as if she were about to cry.
Could it be that the old lady still hadn’t accepted Han Yarong and her daughter?
She had just woken up and wasn’t fully informed of some situations.
“Ah Lie, why aren’t you eating?
Come on, eat,” Old Lady Yan urged Mu Yunlie.
By now, the dishes in Mu Yunlie’s bowl had piled up like a small mountain.
“Grandma, Ah Lie is feeling unwell and probably has no appetite to eat.
I’ll take him back to his room to rest.”
Yan Qianyi took Mu Yunlie’s hand and left.
Indeed, Mu Yunlie wasn’t feeling well, feeling cold all over and his heart racing.
If it wasn’t for the safety he felt from holding Yan Qianyi’s hand, he wouldn’t have been able to face these strangers on his own.
After Mu Yunlie left, Old Lady Yan’s expression immediately darkened.
“Mom, what do you mean by this?” asked Yan Hong anxiously.
“Are you acknowledging that kid as your grandson-in-law now?”
Old Lady Yan didn’t say a word, staring unhappily at Mu Yunlie’s bowl.
Not a single bite of the food she had picked out for Ah Lie had been eaten.
That damned girl Yan Qianyi, she was so eager to take Ah Lie away.
Could she possibly be afraid that an old woman like her would compete with her for a man?
