Grandpa Fu's gaze towards Mu Yinyin had been filled with expectation just moments ago, but upon hearing Liang Min's unhesitating sarcasm, his expression immediately darkened. He glared at Liang Min, "You've been praised a couple of times, and now you're getting cocky, aren't you!"
"Cocky?" Liang Min was amused by the accusation. "What do you mean by cocky? How have I been cocky?! Haven't you been arguing with me every day! How come you're willing to back down for me now!"
As she spoke, she turned her head away from Grandpa Fu, giving a proud huff.
Grandpa Fu: "..."
He was so angry he puffed out his beard, "Are you being childish or not, at your age!"
"Mind your own business!" Liang Min glared at him fiercely. "Say I'm childish one more time!?"
She stared at him, her eyes wide, as if she would reveal the truth of the matter if Grandpa Fu dared to retort. Grandpa Fu immediately fell silent, turned his head, picked up his chopsticks, and gloomily took a bite of a cold dish.
He looked as if he were truly willing to back down for his beloved.
Mu Yinyin raised an eyebrow. In reality, Grandpa Fu's feelings for Grandma were truly quite good, something she had never doubted.
If it weren't for his love for Grandma, she might not have been able to come here these past few years.
Grandpa Fu would have never agreed.
Mu Yinyin sighed inwardly, a touch of envy mixed in her eyes. While she no longer yearned for love or had any expectations of it, her grandparents' relationship was still something many people envied. Though it might not reach the level of mythical soulmates, their affection was genuinely deep, the kind where neither could leave the other in this lifetime.
After a pause, Mu Yinyin slowly spoke, "Thank you for your understanding."
Grandpa Fu's expression softened considerably as he looked at Mu Yinyin, "Ah, eat, eat, let's not talk about this anymore."
Mu Yinyin nodded and remained silent.
Seeing that Grandpa Fu knew when to stop, Liang Min's expression also relaxed. She cheerfully picked up more food for Mu Yinyin, "Here, Yinyin, don't mind him, let's just eat! You, dear, you need to nourish yourself. From tonight onwards, you'll come stay with me, and Grandma will help you adjust your body. Let's get you to gain twenty to thirty jin."
Mu Yinyin: "..."
Twenty to thirty jin.
For a moment, she was a bit stunned.
Liang Min said with a hint of helplessness, "What's wrong? You only weigh eighty-something jin now, right? You're one meter sixty-eight? At your height, a hundred and thirty jin wouldn't be too much, you know? Gaining forty to fifty jin would be fine."
Mu Yinyin coughed lightly, "Grandma, I'm at a standard weight, not very thin."
"How are you not thin! You're malnourished!"
Mu Yinyin: "..."
In fact, she was a doctor herself and knew her body well. There was nothing wrong with her. Although she was light, everything else was perfectly fine.
Grandpa Fu sat to the side and simply stayed silent. He had said what he needed to say. To say more would make him seem too deliberate in his silence, which he himself was unwilling to do.
In his life, aside from Liang Min, he had never bowed his head to any other woman.
This Mu Yinyin had already made him lose face enough.
However, it was fortunate that he had said it was all for Liang Min, an excuse he himself could accept. Mu Yinyin seemed to have clearly believed him, which made his mood improve slightly.
"Be good, eat these dishes that Grandma has served you, and starting tomorrow, you'll come every day."
Mu Yinyin said with a wry smile, "Grandma, I really can't eat this much, and my company is a bit far from here. Coming here might involve a lot of travel, which isn't very convenient."
"It doesn't matter, you don't have to drive back and forth. Just have the driver pick you up, and you can rest in the car."
Mu Yinyin: "..."
She said somewhat awkwardly, "Grandma, I'll visit you at least once a week from now on. Would that be okay?"
"That won't do! Your body is too delicate, once a week isn't enough!" Liang Min said, then pondered for a moment, sounding somewhat hesitant, "How about this, you come every other day, what do you think? Grandma is already being very accommodating. Look, Grandma misses you so much every day, and you say you consider me your own grandmother, yet you're unwilling to come here. Do you really consider me your own grandmother?"
"Of course, I do," Mu Yinyin quickly pledged her loyalty.
But Liang Min seemed on the verge of tears, sighing helplessly, "Alas... ultimately, I'm not your biological grandmother..."
Liang Min's demeanor was so heart-wrenching that Mu Yinyin instantly felt a pang of sympathy. "Then how about this, I'll visit you twice a week from now on. Will twice a week be okay?"
Liang Min frowned slightly, "I asked you to come every other day, which is equivalent to coming seven times in two weeks, but this way, you're directly making it four times in two weeks."
Mu Yinyin was once again amused but speechless. Before she could say anything, Liang Min sighed, "Forget it, I know you're busy with work. Then how about five times in two weeks? If you come five times, Grandma won't argue with you anymore."
Mu Yinyin's eyes flickered. Thinking that one more visit wouldn't make much difference, she finally said, "...Okay."
Liang Min immediately became ecstatic, "Now that's my real granddaughter! Good girl, eat your food!"
Mu Yinyin coughed lightly and nodded, remaining silent.
Grandpa Fu's face darkened for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure. She truly had her way; it seemed only Liang Min could persuade Mu Yinyin.
Grandpa Fu hadn't interjected into their conversation at all, nor did he dare to. He was afraid of ruining things.
If Mu Yinyin came over often from now on, their contact would naturally increase.
Then, if she could reconcile with Fu Siye...
Thinking of this, Grandpa Fu's eyes suddenly became even more complex. He lost interest in eating, his gaze filled with contemplation.
Should they really reconcile?
From the current perspective, Mu Yinyin was the leader of the Prosperous Star Group, and she couldn't possibly match the Fu Group.
But Mu Yinyin was also the Overlord of Yama, someone many people wanted to curry favor with. It wasn't something that could be achieved simply with money. Her status alone was worth more than many Prosperous Star Groups.
So, if these two identities overlapped, wouldn't she be able to match his grandson?
Moreover, Mu Yinyin still had feelings for Fu Siye. Once they made up, she would surely dedicate herself to the Fu family's affairs wholeheartedly?
No, that wasn't right. If she had Fu Siye, she probably wouldn't have kept her identity a secret. In essence, she might still be holding back from the Fu family. If that were the case, wouldn't reconciliation be somewhat meaningless?
While Grandpa Fu was thinking, he completely put down his chopsticks, stroking the stubble on his chin with one hand, his eyes full of thought.
However, before he could think too much, his elbow was suddenly nudged by the person next to him, and his elbow slid down the table.
