At 9:30, Li Muyao got into Huo Jiling’s car and drove to the Huo Mansion.
“Are your father, brother, and sister-in-law at your grandmother’s place today?”She had heard from Huo Jiling that his grandmother lived alone in the old mansion, his elder brother and sister-in-law lived in the apartment closest to the Huo Family’s company, and his father lived alone.
As for Huo Jiling, he either stayed with his grandmother or at the company every time he returned to Jin City.
Therefore, when Huo Jiling explained to Li Muyao that his family had a good relationship, Li Muyao felt that Huo Jiling might have a problem understanding the relationship between family members. They lived separately and only met during festivals. How close could they be?
Of course, Li Muyao also knew that every family had different ways of getting along. What she felt was not a good way might be the most comfortable way for other families to get along.
Not all happy families were quiet. Some happy families were the kind that quarreled with each other. They were lively and laughed all the time.
“My father and brother are busy, but they can come over. Sister-in-law had already gone to Grandma’s place yesterday. Don’t worry, Grandma is very easy to talk to. If you say that you want to cancel the engagement, Grandma should be able to agree.
I’ve mentioned it to Grandma before. Grandma wants to see you in person before discussing the matter of breaking off the engagement with you.
Actually, my grandmother also said that the matter of breaking off the engagement should be done by the adults , but your family’s situation is special now. It’s not a problem for you to come over yourself.”
Recently, Huo Jiling had started to introduce his family to Li Muyao bit by bit, as well as the way he got along with Grandma. At the same time, he would also tell Li Muyao about his grandmother.
For example, the reason why so many people followed Li Muyao at the raw stone auction was because of one sentence from his grandmother. Of course, Li Muyao felt that it was too logical after hearing it.
Like Huo Jiling’s grandmother, Old Mrs. Huo used to fight against the Japanese with Old Master Huo. She had experienced a special era, so how did she become a master of metaphysics?
Alright, from Li Muyao’s perspective, a master of metaphysics was just like those fortune-tellers in their hometown.
However, the old lady did not need to set up a stall. Because of her status, fortune-telling was no longer supported by science, so it was defined by metaphysics.
“I know! Huo Jiling, your grandma is so good at divining my good fortune, but can’t she predict your future? Don’t tell me that your grandmother predicted that your future partner is really me. I don’t believe in fortune-telling at all!” Even though she was reborn, Li Muyao didn’t really do fortune-telling. She always knew that fate was up to her, not the heavens.
“Mooncake, have you heard of the saying that a doctor can’t treat himself? My grandmother is in such a state now. It’s not that she doesn’t help our family with fortune-telling. She can do it, but even if she does, she will only give a few vague hints. It’s not as direct as helping others with fortune-telling.
Why do you think Uncle Chu Chen is so close to Grandma? It’s because
Grandma once helped him read his fortune. That time, not only did she help Uncle Chu Chen save her, but she also saved Chu Ranran.”
Chu Ranran was saved by Grandma Huo?
It sounded a little unbelievable. Li Muyao’s expression did not change, but she still did not believe it in her heart..”Then why did something happen to your family five years ago? Even if Grandma Huo doesn’t help your family, does that mean the fate of the Huo Family doesn’t count? Didn’t you arrange anything in
advance?”
