“If you need anything these days, just tell me.”
“Don’t worry, I definitely will. I’ll trouble you.” Qi Mo’s smile never wavered.
Mu Yinyin raised an eyebrow, saying nothing. Soon, the server brought out the food they had ordered.
At the same time, the food ordered by Father and Mother Qi was also ready. Hearing the knock on the door, the old couple instinctively moved away from the wall, forcing their ears to maintain a distance from it.
Then, after sitting down at the dining table in unison, Father Qi cleared his throat and said sternly, “Enter.”
Mother Qi tidied her hair, her head slightly lowered, and remained silent. Her face was a little flushed. At her age, this was the first time she had done something like this.
The servers, of course, had no idea what they had done, nor did they pay attention to such details. They couldn’t tell that anything was amiss with the couple. After serving all the food, they politely said, “Our customers, all the food has been served. Please enjoy.”
Father Qi nodded, “Yes, you can go about your business.”
“Okay.”
With that, the servers quickly withdrew. The moment the door was closed, they both swiftly stood up and immediately rushed back to their previous positions.
After waiting for so long, they had no idea what the other side had said, and they didn't know what they had missed.
Father Qi had no mood to communicate with Mother Qi at all; he listened intently.
However…
As their conversation continued, there were no emotional issues, nor were there any issues regarding their identities. It was entirely a work-related exchange, or occasional bickering. They didn’t hear any useful conversation, which made both of them feel particularly heavy-hearted.
The old couple couldn’t have felt worse, feeling as though they had come for nothing.
And so it went, until their conversation ended.
Without getting any useful information, Mother Qi frowned, “They’re leaving, let’s follow.”
“Following them is useless. Didn’t you see they’re not bringing it up at all? It’s possible Mu Yinyin doesn’t know anything yet, and this brat doesn’t plan to tell her now, fearing she won’t be able to handle it.”
“This…” Mother Qi’s expression immediately became a little troubled, because she knew the person speaking was correct.
From the information they had investigated, Mu Yinyin truly didn’t know about her mother’s situation, nor the specific details of the process. Therefore…
It was normal for Qi Mo not to mention it. Everything required a gradual approach.
But, if things were like this, they didn’t know how much longer they would have to wait. The old couple’s hearts had already begun to worry.
“Forget it, let’s eat first.”
Father Qi said this with some annoyance.
They had been eavesdropping for so long, not only hearing nothing useful, but their food had also gone cold.
“Let them heat it up again.”
“Let’s just eat something casually, and then go back to the hotel.” Father Qi had already picked up his chopsticks and started eating sullenly.
Mother Qi frowned, but ultimately said nothing.
…
Fu Corporation.
Fu Siye was eating dinner at the company. He planned to stay late and work overtime.
However, before he could do anything, Liang Min’s call suddenly came through. He answered without hesitation.
“Grandma.”
“Mmm, you still remember you have a grandma like me? You still pick up the phone?” Liang Min’s voice held a hint of anger.
Fu Siye raised his hand to rub his temples, feeling helpless, and said patiently, “How could I not have you in my heart?”
“If you have me in your heart, why are you still working overtime at the company!? Don’t you know what’s wrong with your body?” Liang Min’s voice was filled with strong accusation, but if listened to carefully, one could detect that it stemmed from her love and worry.
Fu Siye naturally knew this, and simply said softly, “I know my body. It won’t happen again like last time, and it’s not as serious as you imagine.”
“I don’t care. You must put down your work immediately and go home to rest! Or, from now on, you’ll come to my place to rest. Anyway, you’re single, it doesn’t matter where you are, there’s no difference.”
Fu Siye: “……”
Single.
This was the second time he had heard this from his grandmother.
Liang Min said it so smoothly, without feeling anything was out of place.
Fu Siye frowned and said, “I have my own place to live. It’s always inconvenient to live with you guys.”
“What’s inconvenient about it?” Liang Min immediately sneered, and mocked again, “Your grandpa and I are an old married couple, are we going to feed you dog food?”
Fu Siye: “……”
Not hearing Fu Siye’s voice, Liang Min spoke again, “Don’t worry, we are very friendly to single dogs, we won’t do anything to you.”
Fu Siye: “……”
So, he was even less inclined to speak now.
Liang Min said lightly, “Alright, now quickly finish up your work, and come to my place. From now on, you’ll be here with me every day, and you’re not allowed to go anywhere else.”
Fu Siye’s expression was tinged with displeasure, “Grandma.”
Just these two words, he didn’t say anything more.
But Liang Min snorted coldly, “Fu Siye, have you grown up? Have your wings hardened? Can you ignore your grandma’s words now?”
“How could I possibly do that?” Fu Siye finally spoke with patience.
“Then listen to me! Don’t worry, Yinyin won’t come over today! She won’t cause you any trouble!”
Fu Siye frowned, remaining silent.
“Alright, I’ll wait for you! If you don’t come, I won’t eat dinner either!” Liang Min hung up the phone directly.
In fact, she had originally planned for Fu Siye to come over tomorrow. But the thought that if he didn’t come today and didn’t eat dinner properly, it wouldn’t be good.
However, she didn’t know that Fu Siye had already eaten dinner.
Fu Siye frowned in annoyance, and finally dealt with his work quickly. Then, he called Mu Teng.
Soon, Mu Teng arrived at his office. Fu Siye handed him a document, “Execute according to this plan. I want to see results within two days.”
Mu Teng took it and responded respectfully. After a moment’s hesitation, he still spoke softly, “I just found out something and I think it’s necessary to tell you.”
Fu Siye frowned slightly and looked at him, saying nothing.
Mu Teng knew that Fu Siye disliked people beating around the bush, so he immediately said, “After Miss Mu visited the Old Madam before, the Old Madam asked Miss Mu to visit her frequently. In the end, she and Miss Mu agreed that she would visit the Old Madam five times every two weeks.”
“Five times every two weeks?” Fu Siye repeated the sentence with some surprise, his gaze fixed on Mu Teng. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
Mu Teng rubbed his nose and said earnestly, “Yes, I heard that she will be visiting the Old Madam tomorrow.”
