CHAPTER 1330: CHAPTER 377: SOME PEOPLE JUST AREN’T WORTH YOUR TIME

Qin Mu understood everything at this moment.

The old man wanted to use her to suppress Mu Yichen, stopping him from interfering in the Jing Family’s affairs.

"Can’t you really handle that kid?"

The old man, seeing Qin Mu’s momentary silence, asked with concern, yet there was a touch of hope in his eyes.

"Let’s talk to him when he gets back, okay? I think Mu Zong isn’t that hard to talk to."

Qin Mu smiled as she said this, genuinely afraid to speak too bluntly to the old man.

"Mumu, Grandpa is counting on you! Anyway, how many years have passed since the issues between that Jing family girl and the two of you? Let’s grant them this once, to show how gracious our family is, okay?"

The old man’s tone softened quite a bit, as if coaxing Qin Mu.

Qin Mu could only smile, then hugged the old man’s shoulders with both hands, "I’ll listen to you."

While the old man breathed a sigh of relief, Feng Fanghua also relaxed a bit but with some worry. Mu Yichen wasn’t as easy to talk to as they thought. If Mu Yichen could let it go, he wouldn’t have done what he did to Jing Qing’s husband’s family not long ago.

Later, Qin Mu went upstairs to change clothes. Feng Fanghua followed and stopped her at the door to whisper, "Why agree with your grandpa? What if Yichen argues with you about this later?"

"He’s not the type who likes to argue. I’ll talk to him properly!"

Qin Mu whispered back to her. Feng Fanghua suddenly felt a bit sorry for her. The old man was clearly putting pressure on Qin Mu on purpose. His health wasn’t what it used to be, and the family didn’t dare anger him. The old man had seen through this.

——

When Mu Yichen came home from work, he saw the whole family sitting in the living room. He walked over and sat down, noticing that everyone seemed a bit silent. Then he turned to look at Qin Mu and found that the woman beside him was also very quiet, excessively silent.

"What’s wrong?"

Mu Yichen asked her, lifting his eyes to look at the elders.

"Nothing! Why are you back so late?"

Mu Zihao said.

"Had some tea with Jiang Zhiyuan."

Mu Yichen replied in a deep voice, but couldn’t help looking back at Qin Mu, and he looked very close. Qin Mu, feeling his sudden closeness, instinctively leaned back, then nervously smiled at him, "Why are you suddenly so close to me?"

"What’s wrong with you?"

In Mu Yichen’s dark eyes, it seemed like they couldn’t hold a grain of sand as he just looked straight at Qin Mu’s face.

They were fine in the morning, but suddenly like this in the evening. They were each busy with their own things all day, but he never expected that Qin Mu only encountered a small problem after returning home.

"It’s nothing, just, Jing Qing is getting married."

Qin Mu said while looking down and then raised her eyes to look at him, very seriously, fearing he might change his expression.

But as soon as she said that, his face turned cold, his hand still rested behind Qin Mu, but his eyes scanned the elders, realizing so many people were pressuring his wife to discuss the matter with him.

"Oh? So what?"

Mu Yichen gave a slight smile, his sharp eyes turned back to Qin Mu, he hated it the most when Qin Mu humbled herself.

"How much money should we give as a wedding gift?"

Qin Mu didn’t directly say that the grandpa had met with the Jing family grandpa, fearing he’d get even angrier.

Mu Yichen chuckled at that, "Mrs. Mu, you are getting more cunning! I didn’t plan on giving any wedding gift for her wedding. Is Mrs. Mu planning to? Did you forget what she did to you before?"

This was said for Qin Mu, but also for the elders who all perked up their ears, waiting for his concession, but he clung to past issues.

"It’s been so many years, and she already has someone else she likes."

"So what? Does that mean the fact she almost killed you before is wiped away? Have you forgotten the pain after the wound healed? Forgotten almost being raped by another man? Or almost separating from me?"

Mu Yichen was getting angrier, and his eyes were becoming colder.

Qin Mu just looked at him, watching him get angrier and then reluctantly sighed, "The Jing family grandpa came to see grandpa, deal with it yourself!"

Qin Mu wanted to coax him, but with his temper, she always couldn’t control it, like tonight, seeing the thorns in his eyes made her feel as if thorns pricked her heart. After quietly saying that, she got up and went upstairs.

The old man finally straightened his back, frowning unhappily, "What the hell do you mean, kid?"

"What do you mean? Why didn’t you come directly to me? Why put Qin Mu in the middle? Do you not know what Jing Qing did to the both of us? Or do my parents not know? Using the position of an elder to suppress the younger generation, you really opened my eyes."

Mu Yichen angrily finished and then got up and turned to go upstairs.

Feng Fanghua and Mu Zihao stayed silent, and the old man sulked for quite some time.

"This is the good son you raised, with a temper even bigger than his father’s."

The old man glared at his son and daughter-in-law, then turned his head away, grumbling with displeasure.

"Isn’t that just like you?"

Feng Fanghua whispered, not daring to let him hear.

"Dad! Why did the Jing family come to ask us about this? They should have asked Yichen directly. The grudge between that Jing family girl and their marriage can only be decided by Yichen, which shouldn’t be a secret."

"But that old guy came to me, what was I supposed to do? Say I can’t control my grandson? Or say my words don’t have any weight at home?"

After listening to his son’s words, the old man got even angrier. He already regretted agreeing to the Jing family grandpa, but with no place to buy regret medicine, he frowned in frustration.

After Mu Yichen returned to the room, he casually closed the door and leaned against the doorframe, watching the woman undressing in irritation, his eyes half-narrowed unconsciously.

Qin Mu wore only her underwear and walked into the bathroom. She had thought today was going relatively smoothly, but now she felt it wasn’t smooth at all.

Mu Yichen didn’t speak, just watched her walk into the bathroom with her head down, forgetting to take her pajamas.

Mu Yichen thought for a while, then followed her until he leaned against the bathroom door, gently nudging it open a crack.

It’s rare for Qin Mu to bathe so unabashedly when he’s around.

Mu Yichen leaned against the doorframe, asking in a low voice, "Does Mrs. Mu need help?"

Qin Mu didn’t say a single word to him.

"If Mrs. Mu doesn’t need help, how about helping Mr. Mu instead?"

Mu Yichen tried to find a topic to chat about.

Qin Mu thought, when you were questioning me downstairs, you probably forgot there would be times when you asked me for help?

"What does Mu Zong want to say, just say it."

Qin Mu turned to look at him, giving a sharp glance then pretending to be straightforward.

"I want to help Mrs. Mu scrub her back! Mrs. Mu, please grant me this!"

Mu Yichen suddenly gave a wily smile, his dark eyes flashing with endless light, making the woman so angry as if her lungs were about to freeze.

"You’d better think about how to placate grandpa! His health isn’t good, and after you angered him, he’ll probably feel uncomfortable tonight again."

Qin Mu stopped looking at him, only complaining this serious matter to him.

Qin Mu isn’t afraid of anything else, she doesn’t care how Jing Qing is getting married, or where she’s getting married from. She only worries about the Jing family’s old man, who’s a precious gem in their home, and they all must carefully care for him.

"What if I can coax grandpa?"

Mu Yichen still leaned against the doorframe leisurely, yet with a serious gaze.

Qin Mu stopped her soaping motions, turning to gaze at him.
