53: Chapter 53: Kneel Down and Apologize 53: Chapter 53: Kneel Down and Apologize Yan Hong glared fiercely at Yan Qianyi.
“Who allowed you to bring such a disaster back here!
Luckily, Housekeeper Li is a reasonable person!”
Yan Qianyi rolled her eyes.
Ah Lie wasn’t a disaster at all.
Even if Ah Lie hadn’t intervened today, she would have.
Yan Hong then instructed Aunt Xue, “Hurry and brew a pot of tea; I’ll deliver it myself.”
In the reception hall.
Li De stood behind Mu Yunlie.
At this moment, with no one else present, his posture was even lower, as if he dared not gaze at Mu Yunlie’s tall figure.
Mu Yunlie remained silent, and so did he, looking very uneasy.
After a moment, Mu Yunlie’s deep voice resounded.
“Over these years, has the Mu Family only raised such a failure as Mu Zicheng?”
“Young Master!” Li De immediately bowed deeply at ninety degrees, “You’ve seen something laughable.”
Mu Yunlie turned around, his bewitchingly beautiful almond-shaped eyes slightly narrowed, emitting a hint of chill.
“Housekeeper Li’s son is also well-taught.”
“I’m sorry.” Li De immediately knelt down, “When I return, I will definitely discipline him properly!”
Mu Yunlie gave him a cold glance, “Get up.”
Li De got up trembling, “Young Master…
“That’s not for you to worry about, you needn’t inquire.
After you walk out this door today, pretend you’ve never seen me.”
“If next time, I see them at the Yan Family’s again…”
“There won’t be a next time, I’ll definitely talk to them properly!
Young Master, rest assured; I won’t let them trouble the Yan Family people again!”
“Don’t call me young master.” Mu Yunlie’s voice deepened further, “I have no relations with the Mu Family.”
At that moment, there was a knock on the door.
Li De immediately straightened his back.
Yan Hong entered carrying the tea, a flattering smile on his face.
“Housekeeper Li, have some tea.
I sincerely apologize for today’s events.
The youth are impulsive and clueless, causing you to make this trip.”
“It’s okay.” Li De said, “My young master has a bad temper and is often thoughtless, I apologize for the trouble caused to you.”
Yan Hong, holding the teacup respectfully, handed it to Li De.
“How can you say that, Housekeeper Li?
It’s our fault for not hosting Young Master Mu properly.
I assure you such incidents won’t happen again.
As for Qianyi and Young Master Mu’s marriage and the betrothal gift…
please give me some time, I will sort everything out.”
“It’s okay, no need, I have other things to attend to and must be going now.”
Yan Hong looked puzzled.
He wanted to stop Li De and ask for clarification, but Li De vanished in the blink of an eye as if his feet were greased.
Yan Hong slammed the teacup down on the table, looking annoyed at Mu Yunlie, “What were you discussing just a moment ago?”
Mu Yunlie said, “I told him that today’s incident has nothing to do with the Yan Family and will not involve you.”
Yan Hong snorted coldly, “It already had nothing to do with our family; it was you who started fighting!”
“Dad, how can you say that?
Ah Lie was just protecting me, and it was Mu Zicheng who hit Aunt Xue first,” Yan Qianyi walked in.
“Still talking?” Yan Hong furiously said, “It was your fault from the beginning!
You were already engaged to Young Master Mu, who asked you to marry him again?
If it weren’t for your marriage to him, you should be at the Mu Family by now, and none of today’s trouble would have happened!”
“I will not marry him, the marriage was arranged by you, and you took the betrothal gift.
If someone has to marry, you marry!”
How can you talk to your father like that?!”
Ignoring Yan Hong, Yan Qianyi walked up to Mu Yunlie, her voice softened, “Ah Lie, did Housekeeper Li ask you to keep today’s incident a secret?”
