You don't agree to have a baby, and you're anxious and angry about the divorce

Mu Yuan was stunned for a moment. Her grandmother spoke too bluntly.

"Don't worry, it's okay." Grandma Li continued, "As the grandson of the Li family, he enjoys the status and resources of the Li family. He should contribute to the family. What's more, Mingyuan is his biological brother."

"But grandma..." Mu Yuan wanted to persuade her a little more.

She knows better than anyone how suffocating it is to not be loved by family members but to be asked endlessly of.

But Grandma Li didn't give her any chance and interrupted her in a deep voice:

"Just do your own thing. The rest has nothing to do with you and you don't need to worry about it. Clothes and daily necessities are all prepared at the old house. You don't need to bring anything. The driver will pick you up soon. That's it. I'm hanging up."

After hanging up the phone, Mu Yuan sighed.

It seems I can only live in the old house for now.

However, she told Li Chengye about this at noon, so he probably won't appear in the old house again, at least not in the short term.

Thinking of this, Mu Yuan felt a little relieved.

The driver came to the school gate to pick her up. She saw the black Audi from a distance and was walking past when a voice suddenly called her: "Mu Yuan."

Mu Yuan turned around and saw her roommate Jiang Qian.

"Xixi, you're back from your part-time job."

Jiang Qian was a thoughtful person. She looked at the black Audi parked not far away. If she was not mistaken, Mu Yuan seemed to be heading towards that car.

"Where are you going?" Jiang Qian walked up to her.

Mu Yuan was stunned for a moment and said, "I'm going home."

Jiang Qian was puzzled: "You have a bad relationship with your family, what are they asking you to go back for? Will they embarrass you?"

Mu Yuan felt warm in her heart: "Don't worry, it won't happen. He just told me something and asked me to go back."

"Okay then, if you need anything, send a message to the group. I'm going back to the dormitory."

Mu Yuan nodded and said okay. Jiang Qian waved and turned to enter the school.

Mu Yuan watched Jiang Qian's figure disappear at the gate before turning around and walking towards the car that came to pick her up. It was the driver who picked her up during the day, and he greeted her politely after getting in the car.

The car started and drove away from the school.

A figure stood out from behind the school security room.

Jiang Qian stared at the black car going farther and farther away, her brows furrowed.

What is Mu Yuan doing?

Sneak into a luxury car worth a fortune.

And you lied about going home?

……

The dining room of the old house is bigger than the living room of an ordinary family.

Every dish is the work of a professional chef. Before the meal, a nutritionist will specially customize the recipe and the dishes will be beautifully presented on the table.

Mu Yuan ate here once after getting married and it was delicious.

But maybe she was not used to it, she always felt like she was not full.

I came with Li Chengye at that time. They said it was a custom for newlyweds that the whole family should sit down and have a reunion dinner. But Li Chengye ate two bites and left.

This was the second time tonight. Grandma Li asked Mu Yuan to sit down. There were four people at the dinner table: herself, Grandma Ye Shufen, Li's father Li Jianan, and Li's mother Qu Man.

After sitting down, Qu Man looked at her watch from time to time and opened her mobile phone several times.

Mu Yuan thought that Li Chenye was probably invited to the meal, but he didn't come.

"This brat promised to come, but in the end he didn't." Qu Man complained.

Li Jianan looked serious and stood up to call Li Chengye again.

"Sit down!" Grandma Li said coldly, "If you don't come, wait. No one is allowed to pick up their chopsticks!"

The air suddenly cooled.

Mu Yuan held her breath and thought that after she had spoken frankly to Li Chenye at noon, he would definitely not come again with that kind of temper, so should she tell her grandmother.

Otherwise it would be tiring to just wait like this.

The main reason was that she was very hungry. She hadn't eaten anything at noon and had just eaten a piece of bread when she woke up in the evening. Now there was a table full of delicious food, but she had to wait for someone who would never come.

It really tortured her stomach.

Mu Yuan swallowed and was about to speak when Li's father's phone suddenly rang.

It was Li Chengye calling. Grandma Li saw it and asked Li Jianan to answer the phone on speakerphone.

Li Jianan turned on the hands-free phone and answered: "Didn't we agree to go back to the old house for dinner? Are you here yet?"

"I have something going on at the company and can't come." The company Li Chengye was referring to was his own investment company, a venture capital company that was independent of the Li Group and started independently.

"Just your little company, what's the matter?"

"Our company is not as big as the Li Group, but it can still generate hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue a year. If you think my company is small, give me some of the group, and then it will not be small anymore."

Mu Yuan saw that Grandma Li's face was gloomy and extremely ugly.

Li Jianan glanced at his mother's face and quickly shouted at Li Chengye on the phone: "You will get what's yours. Stop plotting against the group and get back to eat!"

"You think you're dividing that little?" Li Chengye sneered, "You wouldn't give that little to a beggar."

Li Jianan: “…”

Qu Man wanted to bury her head in her bowl.

"Forget it. I don't want the right to inherit the group." Li Chenye said casually, pretending to be nonchalant, but in fact, a hint of cruelty flashed through his heart. "But you called Mu Yuan, and I saw that she couldn't eat. It made me sick. There's only her but no me at the table in the old house. You can eat by yourselves."

Mu Yuan frowned slightly, raised his hand, and whispered: "How about we prepare a separate table for him?"

Li Chengye heard her voice on the other end of the phone and sneered, gritting his teeth into the phone: "Why don't you have a separate table? You're feeding a dog, and you still have a separate table!"

Mu Yuan's face was calm and gentle. She felt secretly happy when she heard his cursing.

Sure enough, verbal revenge feels good.

Good.

In fact, she didn't want to talk at all.

But he insisted on saying this about himself.

"Why are you yelling? You are an adult, can you change your bad temper?" Father Li scolded coldly, "Mu Yuan is right. If you don't want to eat with us, I will ask the chef to prepare a separate table for you. Come back quickly!"

After saying that, Li Jianan hung up the phone: "Mom, don't worry about him, eat first. You are not in good health, don't starve yourself."

Grandma Li seemed to have calmed down a lot: "Okay, eat first."

Only then did Mu Yuan end his hunger torture and started to eat.

The Li family pays attention to chewing slowly and not talking when eating. Although Mu Yuan is very hungry, he can only abide by their etiquette and eat slowly. Although it is not very comfortable, at least his stomach is filled in the end.

After the meal, even though there were servants at home, Qu Man was still asked to clean up the dishes.

It wasn’t like this the last time Mu Yuan came.

It seems that during this period of time, the old lady deliberately tortured her daughter-in-law.

Li Jianan actually felt a little sorry for his wife, but he didn't dare to disobey his mother, so he just let the old lady do what she wanted. So during this period, Qu Man had to do many chores at home by herself.

Although there were only four of us eating, there were many dishes and the plates were big, so it was a lot to eat in total.

Mu Yuan couldn't bear to see it, so he helped to clean up.

Qu Man quickly stopped her: "It's okay, it's okay, I can collect it myself, you are studying art, you have the hands to paint, there is no need to do these rough work."

Mu Yuan was stunned for a moment, then quickly said, "It's okay. Painting is more about the heart, not the hands. And it's just washing dishes, it's nothing."

"It's really okay." Qu Man smiled gently and whispered, "If you help me, the old lady will be unhappy if she sees it, and then she will vent her anger on you and Cheng Ye. Anyway, I don't work full-time at home, it's just a few dishes, the kitchen is big, and it will be quick to wash them."

Mu Yuan thought she was being polite, but he still wanted to help, so he continued to clean up the dishes.

Qu Man quickly said, "You don't understand. When someone wants to vent their anger, you have to let them do what they want. Otherwise, the anger will only pile up and make you even more restless."

Mu Yuan finally understood.

Qu Man was able to marry into the Li family because she had always had a good relationship with Li's father over the years, and it was also because of her own strengths.

She looked at Qu Man, who was actually 45 years old but still had tight and youthful skin, and felt a little more admiration for her.

Qu Man smiled at her and waved to a servant: "Take Miss Mu to see her room."

Seeing her like this, Mu Yuan stopped being polite and said thank you with a smile.

She followed the servant to the room prepared for her by Grandma Li.

She always knew that Grandma Li was a shrewd person.

But after looking at the room, Mu Yuan once again broke his perception of grandma as shrewd.
