CHAPTER 1087: CHAPTER 222: WISHFUL THINKING AND COLLUSION (PART 4)

Lu Mingzhu glared viciously at Ji Yunya’s back, wishing she could skin her alive, that bitch, how dare you...

A cold gaze suddenly fell on her, and Lu Mingzhu shivered involuntarily. Following the gaze, she saw the man’s icy eyes, as chilling as the Nine Nether Hell, scaring her out of her wits.

"Mingzhu, get over here," Lu Yuke spoke coldly.

Lu Mingzhu quickly walked to Lu Yuke’s side, but as soon as she lifted her foot, a sharp pain shot through her, and she hobbled over, resenting Ji Yunya to the core.

This scene didn’t escape the onlookers’ eyes, and their gazes towards Ji Yunya changed slightly.

This girl is not simple.

Zhuang Xiyue raised an eyebrow and smiled lightly, "Aunt, Mingzhu really has your flair from back in the day."

Full of sarcasm, how can this woman even compare to be jealous of Yunya, do you even have a face?

Lu Yuke let out a cold laugh, "Yueyue has a good eye, this girl’s gaze is just like yours when you were younger, only, compared to Yueyue, she’s a bit more dangerous, I’m afraid Yueyue can’t handle her."

"There’s no need for Aunt to worry about that, better teach your own juniors properly. Making a fool of yourself is one thing, but losing face for you, Aunt, would truly be a sin."

Lu Yuke curved her lips, let’s wait and see.

"Great-grandpa..." Yunya called sweetly.

The old man was holding Yan Si in his arms, grasping Yan Song’s hand with his left hand, and holding Yunya’s hand in his right. He looked left and right, finally his gaze settled on Yunya’s face, "You’re called Yaya, right?"

Yunya nodded, "Yes."

The old man smiled warmly, "When you have time, accompany this old man more. As I age, I enjoy having my grandchildren around me..."

"I’m just afraid Great-grandpa might find me annoying. I remember when I was little, Grandpa said I was annoying and always bothered him," Yunya said playfully, naturally as if she were whining to her own elders.

The old man laughed, "Your Grandpa is lucky to have such a thoughtful granddaughter like you..."

The others watched this scene, each pondering in their hearts, the old man’s attitude towards her is no ordinary thing...

Zhuang Xiyue felt much more at ease; it seemed that Grandpa liked Yunya. This was good. She had been quite anxious before; now it seemed she worried too much. A girl like Yunya, Grandpa wouldn’t dislike her.

At this moment, Aunt Cui walked in from outside and whispered something in Lu Yuke’s ear. Lu Yuke smiled and said, "The banquet is about to start. Let’s head to the front hall first and let Grandpa rest for a bit."

Everyone filed out.

The old man somewhat reluctantly held onto Yunya’s hand, making Yan Si feel a bit jealous, "Great-grandpa, now that you have a pretty sister, you don’t like Si’er anymore."

The old man laughed and patted Yan Si’s head, "Great-grandpa likes you all."

"Hmph, Great-grandpa is lying, Si’er won’t play with you anymore," she said, pouting and running out.

Suddenly, only Yunya and Yan Song were left in the room with the old man.

Yunya smiled and said, "Great-grandpa, Si’er was just speaking out of anger, don’t take it to heart. You rest up, and I’ll keep you company when I have the time." She tugged the blanket back over the old man’s knees before glancing at Yan Song, and the two of them stood up to leave.

The old man watched their departing figures, his eyes narrowing slightly.

Yunya and Yan Song lifted the curtain one after the other to leave, and the cold outside made Yunya shiver involuntarily. Yan Song looked at her with concern, and Yunya smiled at him, "Brother Yan, I’m fine."

The courtyard was empty now, with only Zhuang Xiyue and Yan Nanmo standing under the eaves of the porch.

"Aunt Zhuang, Uncle Yan."

"Yunya, you and Ah Song go to the front hall first. Your Uncle Yan and I have something to discuss with the old man. We’ll be there soon."

Yunya nodded, glanced at Yan Song, and he took her hand and walked out.

Yunya hurried to free her hand. Aunt Zhuang and Uncle Yan were watching; what was he doing?

Yan Song gave her no chance to struggle and quickly led Yunya out of the courtyard.

In her haste, Yunya glanced back, seeing that Zhuang Xiyue and Yan Nanmo had already disappeared behind the door curtain.

"Brother Yan, let me go."

Yan Song turned his head and glared at her, "You think my parents don’t know about us?"

Yunya was taken aback.

Yan Song snorted, poking her forehead, "You seem smart usually. How can you be so clueless at crucial times?"

Yunya covered her head, glaring at him in grievance, "What do you mean? Did Aunt Zhuang know from the start?"

Before Yunya could delve into her thoughts, Yan Song already led her out of Rongju Garden.

"Brother Yan, calm down," Yunya shook off his hand, glancing around and noticing a Plum Forest beside the small courtyard. She pulled Yan Song into it.
