Even after the two of them had left, grandma’s face was still black.
Hadn’t Little Chen only just returned? They had met before…? No! For her to claim that she was his swimming coach, that meant that they had always been meeting the entire time. But, Littly clearly said that Little Chen was studying abroad!
Just what was going on over here?
If she were to really die just like this, her only worry in this life of hers was this granddaughter. She had initially thought that her granddaughter had already found someone rather decent to take care of her for the rest of her life, but why had things…?
Even if she had no expression on her face, those mysteriously dark eyes of hers and that wrinkled forehead betrayed the uneasiness she had in her heart.
After chasing them away, Mo Ziying felt really miserable in her heart as well. She pacified grandma into resting on the bed before making a call to Shi Guang.
“Auntie, what did you say? Qiao Yuwei went to visit grandma? What did she come for?” Shi Guang felt her heart skip a beat—this was definitely nothing good.
“Isn’t it all because of Lu Yanchen.”
“Lu Yanchen?”
Mo Ziying related everything that had just happened, as well as grandma bumping into Lu Yanchen the day before to Shi Guang. The more she said, the more Shi Guang’s heart raced.
She was feeling so flustered as though something was choking her. Yet, there was a sense of hollowness that was chewing at her as well.
Why did grandma have to bump into Lu Yanchen of all people?
Goodness! She was really speechless at the way fate played its cards.
Back when she had first reunited with Lu Yanchen, she was filled with hatred and indignation. However, she had her ego, and she really wanted to hear an explanation from him while declaring proudly that she had led her life all fine even after he left her.
But later on, she realized that she just didn’t want to get involved with him anyhow. She wanted to dodge, to get away from him.
But, things would never go the way she wanted—it was as though their fates were just intertwined together.
And of all things, him bumping into grandma now!
That was not even the most unexpected thing. To think that Qiao Yuwei was already so mesmerized by Lu Yanchen after seeing him just once.
She was really a woman that brought nothing but troubles.
For her to run over to grandma’s, wasn’t that just clearly tearing up her white lie to grandma? Grandma would definitely be pondering about everything right now.
Shi Guang was filled with nothing but thoughts of how she was going to have to explain things to grandma later on.
And that Lu Yanchen too! If he had met with grandma, why did he not tell her anything?
He should know that she had lied to grandma about this!
Grandma assumed that he was back to give her a surprise, but that man should know better, shouldn’t he? He should have at least notified her about it so that she could be mentally prepared about how to face grandma!
The door of the villa opened. Turning around, Shi Guang caught sight of a tall and robust man walking in elegantly.
This was the first item Lu Yanchen had returned to the villa after leaving that day.
When she caught sight of him, her heart was filled with grudges as she looked at him with displeasure, wanting to question him about everything. But on second thought, he might perhaps be coming back now to explain to her about the issue with grandma.
She waited…
However, Lu Yanchen merely went upstairs to collect his stuff and was prepared to leave right afterward.
Shi Guang was stunned. Unable to contain herself, she ran over in front of him. “Why didn’t you tell me that you had met with grandma?”
Lu Yanchen looked at her and took two steps forth—the distance between both of them was really close right now.
The temperature in the air seemed to have risen, causing the mood to be filled with tension. Instinctively, Shi Guang took two steps back while glaring at him still.
He lowered his eyes and looked at her with a contemplative gaze before reversing the question, “Why should I tell you?”
“You should know that…”
Shi Guang, who was all righteous moments earlier on, was suddenly dumbfounded. Right… he should know about her lie to grandma, yet she had never ever discussed it with him.
Even though they had already broken up, she was still using his name as her ‘boyfriend’. The fact that he didn’t reveal the truth at that moment was already really kind of him!
