Chapter 233 - Gu Yan was much worse
Chen Qian and Li Yunhong were very delighted and smiled at each other, because their intrigue was finally achieved.
“Come on, Qianqian. Sit down here.” Li Yunhong required Chen Qian to sit down at the side of Mo Yichen and Xiangyan. Chen Qian followed Li Yunhong’s instruction and raised her eyebrow to look at Gu Yan complacently. But Gu Yan had no response.
Li Yunhong walked to the opposite side and moved her chair to the most conspicuous place. It was the middle between Gu Yan and Mo Yichen. Because Gu Yan and Mo Yichen were not close to each other, Li Yunhong and Chen Qian could just sit between them. Seeing Li Yunhong’s action, Gu Yan and Mo Yichen had to move their chairs outward.
Chen Qian was quite satisfied with Li Yunhong’s behavior and praised her in heart. It was said that “the older, the wiser”. Chen Qian realized she had underestimated Li Yunhong before.
A harmonious family of three was broken up by these two ladies showing up suddenly.
“Dad, I want to sit next to you. If an outsider sits between us, I would feel uneasy when I eat.” Xiangyan said.
Feeling aggrieved, Xiangyan frowned and pouted. Later he put down the tableware. It seemed that he saw something disgusting so he lost his appetite. Xiangyan moved his body on the chair, trying to stay away from Chen Qian. He finally sat close to Gu Yan, and brought the tableware originally placed beside Chen Qian to this side. After finishing the adjustment, he eased down and picked up the chopsticks again.
Mo Yichen looked at Xiangyan in a distressed mood, not paying any attention to the two troublesome ladies. It was at the moment they entered the restaurant that Mo Yichen knew their coming would mess up the situation in the end. He just worried that Gu Yan would be too embarrassed if she considered the relation between him and his mother.
Chen Qian clenched her fist since she was angered by Xiangyan’s behavior. At that time, she felt it undeserved to take care of Xiangyan before.
Mo Yichen was unable to solve the problem for his beloved, which made him a little upset. It was the first time for him to feel at a loss.
“Oh, Xiangyan, you are so ignorant. Aunt Chen took care of you when you were in hospital. She was very laborious. How can you treat her like this? Please apologize to her.” Li Yunhong said but didn’t mention Gu Yan at all.
“If these words are heard by others, they will ascribe your misbehavior to your dad and your grandma.” Li Yunhong added.
It seemed that Li Yunhong was rebuking Xiangyan and comforting him. Actually, she was to help Chen Qian eliminate her embarrassment, so that she could sit down and enjoy the time with Mo Yichen and Mo Xiangyan.
Xiangyan didn’t want to object to his grandmother’s will, so he had to keep silent and eat quietly.
Among the five people, only Chen Qian and Li Yunhong were smiling and excited. The other three lowered their heads, with resentment in their eyes, and were deeply dissatisfied with their visit.
There was a bit of awkwardness at that time, and no one knew what to say…
“How time flies! I’m full of joy when I see two childhood sweethearts have grown up. While they finally couldn’t get married. What a pity!” Li Yunhong said. Two childhood sweethearts referred to Chen Qian and Mo Yichen.
“It’s true. How time flies! I really miss the childhood when we were carefree. But nowadays, some people have just forgotten the past completely, which is regrettable.” Chen Qian responded to Li Yunhong. She lowered her eyes and looked at Mo Yichen out of the corners of her eyes. Mo Yichen said nothing, with a look of displeasure. With his eyes fixed at the plate in front of him, he took his food into his mouth unhurriedly, which made Chen Qian a little afraid.
“Yichen, do you remember that I took Chen Qian home to take care of her when her parents had to go on a business trip. You were so happy that you wanted to play with her all day long. But you have changed now. Can you realize that?” Li Yunhong said.
Li Yunhong complained for a while and began to recall the past again. Time seemed to go backwards, taking them back to their childhood.
“When you were young, you liked to ‘play house’. You acted as the father, Chen Qian acted as the mother, and a Barbie doll was ‘your child’. I was really envious of your ‘family’ at that time. You had fun feeding and making clothes for the Barbie doll.”
“You two once played so late that you simply fell asleep in Yichen’s bed with the doll. You slept well, holding the doll tightly. It couldn’t be better if the happy time could last till now.” What Li Yunhong said was more and more outrageous. She completely ignored Gu Yan and realized that after speaking.
Li Yunhong knew best about Mo Yichen’s temper. Knowing that he would take a tougher stance if he was treated violently, Li Yunhong wouldn’t try a tough attitude. She was afraid that she would lose face if Mo Yichen did something unexpected. She stopped speaking suddenly when she realized that she had made a mistake.
“Mom, there is no need to talk about the past. I was naive when I was young. But now I’ve grown up. Gu Yan is also here, so please don’t mention those embarrassing things.” Mo Yichen said.
“It doesn’t matter. No one will laugh at you. Chen Qian would definitely not laugh at you. Ask her if you don’t believe me. I found the doll from your room yesterday, so I just talked about it.” Li Yunhong explained.
“Yes, no one dares to laugh at Yichen. He is always laughing at others, and no one dares to provoke him.” Chen Qian chuckled.
No matter how Mo Yichen tried, he couldn’t get Gu Yan involved in their topics. The two ladies behaved so deliberately that Mo Yichen was much helpless.
He lowered his head disappointedly. At that moment he felt very helpless. Although he knew his beloved needed his help, he was at a loss. His desire for control was smashed by the two ladies. He became angrier and angrier. His resentment was about to break out.
Gu Yan was not interested in what Li Yunhong said. She didn’t want to know the past about her beloved and the other woman, so she didn’t take it to heart. What she hoped was that the man’s heart completely belonged to her.
Gu Yan said nothing for a long time. She just turned her head towards Xiangyan, helping him wipe the oil left on the corners of his mouth and take food that he couldn’t reach.
Although Li Yunhong was a little moved when seeing that scene, her emotion disappeared soon. In her view, compared with Chen Qian, Gu Yan was much worse!
