“You scoundrel! I’m getting money from my granddaughter. It’s none of your business, so shut up! You don’t consider me part of your family, so guess what, I don’t want anything to do with you either!” She glared at Ye Mo before confronting Liu Duo again. “You heard that. I’ll wait while you get the money! Make it quick! I have to return soon, and it took so long to get here!”
Although she had heard Grandmother Liu’s speech, Liu Duo walked casually to where Ye Yang stood and sat on her rocking chair. She shifted a little weight so that it went back and forth. “Grandmother? Since when did I have one? If I remembered correctly, since the day you sold me, since the moment I stepped out of the Liu family, I no longer have a grandmother, parents, or any other relative under that surname!”
“I only have four people I call family now, and they are my husbands. Besides the two present here now, there are two more in the kitchen! So don’t simply call me family. I won’t give you any – not even a copper coin!”
She was the master of the house, and she was not one to be easily bullied! If they wanted to take advantage, they’d have to see if she approved!
At that moment, Ye Liu walked out of the kitchen, “Oh, we have guests! I have been wondering what sort of beast Hei Xiaomeng has been barking at. It’s very disturbing!”
Pffft, Liu Duo snickered. Hei Xiaomeng was already a beast, so Ye Liu was actually referring to Grandmother Liu as the other beast! Oh well, what a sharp tongue – fitting for a trickster.
Grandmother Liu was shocked to see Ye Liu, for he was certainly a very handsome man. She had lived close to sixty years, and this was the first time she had seen such a delightful specimen.
Ye Liu didn’t like Grandmother Liu’s eyes on him – not at all. He furrowed his brow and spoke to Ye Yang, “Yang, I say, can you stop bringing random animals inside? Our house isn’t a jungle, you know!”
“I’ll be more careful next time,” Ye Yang said with a serious face, void of expression. Of course he understood what his brother had meant!
Liu Quanfu felt more awkward than ever. He knew Liu Duo and her husbands weren’t welcoming he and Grandmother Liu. “Mother, let’s go home! Duo’s fine. Let’s not disturb her. She’s no longer related to us. She didn’t have to pay any respects to us from the start!”
Grandmother Liu furrowed her brow upon being prodded by her son. She was not pleased at being compared to a beast!
She got even more furious after Liu Quanfu pleaded with her to leave, “Who says she’s no longer related to us? Who says she doesn’t have to pay her respects? Our blood flows in her veins! This is forever unchangeable!”
She raised her voice exceptionally loud, as though she meant for Liu Duo to hear her.
And so Ye Yang stepped forward and immediately lifted her up. His actions scared her, and she screamed, “Ah, what are you doing? Put me down!”
Ye Yang ignored her cries and directly carried her out of their yard, where he put her down. Liu Quanfu followed hastily, afraid that Ye Yang would treat her unkindly. She may be wrong, but she was still his mother nevertheless!
When Grandmother Liu’s feet had safely found land again, she received Ye Yang’s cold warning before she could even open her mouth, “Leave! Or I’ll throw you out!”
Without waiting for her to react, he slammed the door with a loud ‘bang’, shutting them outside!
He wouldn’t like the people whom Liu Duo didn’t like – especially those who were shameless and rude. He wouldn’t treat them kindly!
Once he turned around, Ye Liu whistled at him the way riffraff would, “Hey, Yang! I say, you were so manly just now that even I could have swooned!”
Liu Duo also felt that Ye Yang’s actions just now were very dreamy and manly. He could actually carry off Grandmother Liu, who weighed about a hundred jin, as though it were no big deal? How strong would he have to be to do so? She felt so much more secure with him around!
