Chapter 549: Deep Affection Leads to a Short Life
Lan Yueru sighed, looked deeply at Mu Yiliang, and then lowered her eyes saying, "Forget it, I’m going back."
Yan Sijue seemed like he wanted to say something to make her stay, but after a moment of silence, he ultimately didn’t speak.
"Take care."
After saying this, he finally added, "You’re always welcome here."
Lan Yueru nodded lightly with a faint smile.
Xin, who had remained silent all this time, also raised his head to look at Mu Yiliang, his gaze seeming to convey another layer of meaning.
One after another, they looked at her with those kinds of eyes... Mu Yiliang suddenly realized that Lan Yueru might want to chat with her.
"Wait." Mu Yiliang suddenly spoke up, "Sijue, since Aunt Lan is here, she should at least stay for a meal."
"That sounds good." Lan Yueru surprisingly agreed immediately, "Sijue, it’s been a long time since you ate my cooking, right?"
Yan Sijue was a bit confused and stunned, then nodded blankly.
"I’ll cook a meal with Aunt Lan for you." Mu Yiliang clung to his arm, acting coquettish.
He raised his eyebrow in surprise, glanced at Lan Yueru, and seeing she didn’t object, his expression immediately turned quite brilliant.
He wasn’t a fool and could guess what these two wanted to do.
For Lan Yueru to set aside her prejudices and be alone with Yiliang, what other reason could there be beyond inquiring about his situation?
His instinct was to refuse, but seeing the plea in Yiliang’s eyes, his heart softened, and he couldn’t help but nod.
...
Half an hour later, Yan Sijue was sent upstairs to the study. Mu Yiliang and Lan Yueru stayed together in the kitchen, with Xin guarding the kitchen door.
"You’re called Mu Yiliang?" Lan Yueru was the first to speak, calmly asking her.
Mu Yiliang nodded, "I’ve heard from Sijue, because of my mother... In fact, I only found out about Mu Ning’s existence a month ago, and only then did I know that my biological mother was her."
"No wonder. You’re quite different from her." Lan Yueru seemed somewhat in a daze, "She has always been very carefree... excessively so, you could say completely irresponsible, never thinking she was wrong."
Mu Yiliang nodded involuntarily.
Lan Yueru smiled, "She never even cared about her own biological daughter, let alone others... forget it, let’s not talk about this."
She paused, "Honestly tell me, how serious is Sijue’s condition?"
Mu Yiliang hesitated for a moment, not answering directly, but asked in return, "How did you find out... that something was wrong with him?"
"After all, he is my son." Lan Yueru said lightly, "Besides, I know that these days at the company, he’s been frequently losing his temper at subordinates... Xin once worked under Sijue for a while and knows some people. As far as I know, he would never lose his composure in front of his subordinates."
Mu Yiliang’s heart tightened!
In front of her, Yan Sijue had been normal apart from those two incidents of losing control, so she didn’t know he was in such a state at the company! It seems yesterday’s outburst at Yang Ru wasn’t the first time!
Mu Yiliang smiled bitterly, "He... has always been blaming himself for having once caused me to get hurt..."
"So it really is because of you." Lan Yueru sighed gently, "Lady Mu, to be honest, I don’t dislike you personally. However, have you ever thought that from the start, you and Sijue shouldn’t be together?"
Mu Yiliang pressed her lips tightly without refuting, but her eyes were full of disapproval.
"You two are still too young." Lan Yueru shook her head ruefully, "Deep affection is short-lived... you’ve heard that saying, right? Now, only you can help him."
