Mi Xue turned her head and looked at Meng Yuyan who was secretly turning his head away. She glared at herself with a resentful gaze, and the smile on her face grew even wider.

He hadn't intended to make things difficult for her and let her in, but the look in her eyes made her give up on that idea.

"Grandfather, I …"

"Who's your grandfather? I don't have a granddaughter like you!" The old man immediately interrupted Meng Yuyan's words, his face spitting fire.

In the past, when he saw Mi Xue being bullied, he was already angered. But this Meng Yuyan was of the younger generation, and had no enmity with him either. Now that she actually came looking for him, then don't blame him for helping her favorite daughter-in-law get back at her.

"Old Master Lin, we are here to participate in the Birthday Dinner." When Li Yijie saw that Meng Yuyan was so angry, he immediately took on the role of a knight.

"Birthday Dinner?" Old Master Lin looked at the gift box in their hands and frowned, "There's no Birthday Dinner at the moment, come back tonight."

"..."

When these words came out, Meng Yuyan's body couldn't help but tremble, and her face flushed red.

She naturally knew that the Birthday Dinner was at night and had calculated that Lin Muhan and Mi Xue would be coming over in the morning, so she intentionally waited outside.

After he finished speaking, the old man couldn't help but turn around and glare at Lin Muhan, "It's all your fault.

"Grandfather, is that how you say your grandson?" Lin Muhan retorted softly, but he did not say a single word on Meng Yuyan's behalf.

Outside, Meng Yuyan's face was pale. If not for the fact that the gift box in her hand could not handle the pain, she would have probably crushed it.

Raising his eyes, he looked at Lin Muhan with mist covering his eyes.

Lin Muhan stood there quietly, with no intention to speak.

"Miss Meng, come back tonight. Our Lin Family's tradition is that it's a family feast at noon!" The old man was very satisfied with Lin Muhan's actions. She did not say anymore harsh words, and only emphasized her tone when she said "Family banquet".

Meng Yuyan looked at the person inside the door, her face as white as paper, and unexpectedly couldn't say a single word.

"Sorry, Old Master Lin, we remembered the wrong time." Li Yijie awkwardly tried to smooth things over at the side.

The Meng and Li Families could be considered as reputable people, it wouldn't be good if they were too stiff. Moreover, he had already vented his anger on Mi Xue, so he turned around and pulled on Mi Xue and Lin Muhan. "Let's go, let's go in."

Meng Yuyan stared deadly at the scene in front of her. Today, all of her pride and self-esteem had been stepped on beneath her feet, as though she was a fool.

"Let's go!" Li Yijie also felt that he had never been as humiliated as he was today.

Meng Yuyan quickly turned around and got into the car. She threw the things in her hands onto the car seat and waited patiently for the moment to explode.

"Why, why!" It was only when the car started that Meng Yuyan shouted loudly, "Why did he do this to me!?"

"Yu Yan, actually, you should be able to tell that Lin Muhan is sincere to Mi Xue. Otherwise, he wouldn't have..."

"Shut up!" Meng Yuyan roared loudly, completely unlike her usual self, and stunned Li Yijie for a moment.

Suddenly, Meng Yuyan turned her body and grabbed Li Yijie's hand, "It must be Mi Xue who said bad things about me in his ear, it must be Mi Xue who intervened from the middle …"

"Yu Yan, let go!" Li Yijie shouted loudly, he turned the steering wheel to the side and barely avoided the car in front.

Both of them were frightened as they parked the car.

Li Yijie looked at Meng Yuyan who sat in the front seat in shock, and suddenly said tenderly: "Yu Yan, you actually don't have to be so wronged."

Meng Yuyan did not speak, and drooped her head.

A teardrop fell down her lightly made up face, upon seeing this, Li Yijie immediately became happy, she anxiously pulled out a paper and handed it over, but Meng Yuyan did not extend his hand to receive it, instead he turned his body over, and started crying loudly in Li Yijie's embrace.

Happiness came too suddenly, Li Yijie was flustered and did not know what to do.

"Yu Yan, don't worry. I will definitely protect you." Li Yijie hugged the woman in his arms as if he had sworn an oath.

"Yi Jie, you should also be aware of my situation in the Meng Family. Help me." Meng Yuyan raised her head with reddened eyes and tears flowing from the bottom of her eyes, causing her heart to soften.

He hurriedly nodded, "Alright!"

"Then you …" Meng Yuyan whispered in Li Yijie's ear.

"Yu Yan, but if it's like this, Lin Muhan will …."

"Do you not love me anymore? Watch me being bullied by that woman!" As they spoke, the tears fell from the corner of Meng Yuyan's eyes once more.

Li Yijie anxiously used his hand to wipe it away, and shouted: "Alright, alright, I understand, I will do as you say, alright?"

"I knew you were the best to me." Meng Yuyan's teary face turned into a smile, "Let's go watch a movie together after we finish dinner. There's nothing else for us to do today anyway."

"I'll listen to you!" Li Yijie was wild with joy.

He did not know that Meng Yuyan currently had nowhere else to go. Earlier, she had spread it around without restraint, causing Meng Yuran to be extremely envious. Furthermore, her status at home was obviously higher.

No, she would definitely not let this situation happen, that was why she thought of Li Yijie.

It was just that she forgot to say that when people were down on their luck, drinking cold water would cause them to clench their teeth.

Just as she and Li Yijie arrived at the dining hall, they saw Meng Yulan and her friend sitting near the door.

"Yi Jie, let's switch …"

Before she could finish speaking, Meng Yu Ran's gaze swept over. She was stunned for a moment before she laughed and walked to Meng Yuyan's side, "My good sister, didn't you say that you want to participate in the Birthday Dinner as soon as possible? What's going on now?"

"It's none of your business!" Although Meng Yuyan was guilty, she was full of confidence.

"I don't care." Meng Yu Ran smiled and said, "I say, are you not invited at all, and you're embarrassed about that? Or are you forced out by someone else? Say, if grandpa knew that you are wandering around outside, what kind of expression would he have!? "

"You …" Meng Yuyan was so angry that his entire body was trembling, as though his spine was pierced through.

"Looks like Miss Meng really doesn't have any common sense. Don't you know that banquets usually start at night?" Li Yijie laughed, but there was ruthlessness between her brows, so her hands subconsciously protected Meng Yuyan.

Being rescued by this, the anger on Meng Yuyan's face slowly dissipated, and she looked up at Meng Yu Ran with a smile in her eyes, accusing Li Yijie instead, "Yi Jie, don't talk about your little sister like that, she doesn't only know how to drink and play with her friends, how can she understand this?"

Meng Yu was at a loss for words.

Meng Yuyan looked around and sighed, "Even though this restaurant looks very big, but if you smell it carefully, it would give off a strange smell. Let's go somewhere else to eat, so as not to ruin our mood."

"Alright." Li Yijie left with her.

It was only until they walked out of the dining hall and left Meng Yulan's sight that Meng Yuyan finally let go of her guard. She self-deprecatingly said, "Yi Jie, you saw it too, it's not that I want to break them apart, but rather that I have no way out at all.

"Idiot, I will always be by your side." Li Yijie looked at her tenderly and could not help but add, "No matter what you want to do, I will always support you."

She did not notice, but when she turned her head, Meng Yuyan's eyes flashed with a sharp light.

In contrast to her bad luck, Michelle was much happier.

Grandfather went in with them, and it was still early, so the others didn't come. The old man pulled Lin Muhan's hand, and played chess with him, while Mi Xue watched by the side. From time to time, she would raise her hand to join them.

"Lin Muhan, you're dead for sure!" Michelle could not hold it in any longer and shouted.

When the old man heard this, he smiled and said, "Xue Xue Xue, watching chess is not for a gentleman. Can't you two make an old man like me?"

"Grandfather, I'm not a gentleman. I'm just a young girl." Michelle stuck her tongue out.

Lin Muhan turned his head just in time to see her mischievous look, and couldn't help but smile, but the chess piece still went down to its previous position.

Mi Xue extended her hand to pick it up, but the old man blocked her, "You can't just leave it as it is!"

After saying that, he quickly picked up the chess piece and proudly shouted, "General!"

He really didn't know how he, a smart person, could be so foolish as to play chess.

He turned his head and looked at the flowers in the garden. After two minutes, he didn't hear the sound of voices coming from the garden. When he saw the change in the chessboard, his jaw dropped.

The old man suddenly put down his chess piece and laughed heartily. "My, Lin Tianlin's, grandson is truly not simple after all. You're all begging for more!"

"Grandfather, it's your win!"

While they were talking, Uncle Fu came to their side and whispered, "Master …"

"They're back?" The old man's face darkened, "Let's go take a look!"

The three of them stood up. Before they even walked forward, they could hear the grumbling.

"What do you think Dad is doing this year? Why are you trying to open some Birthday Dinner in such a remote place? My shoes are all dirty."

"That's right. My friend and I even made an appointment to go to Paris together. Now, everything is in vain!"

"Keep your voices down, it's not good for others to hear!"

"Humph!" The old man coldly snorted, "I didn't force you to come back. Since you're so unhappy, you can leave now!"

The four people who were complaining earlier were stunned when they heard this. They obviously did not expect the old man to be in the lobby. Mi Xue had only looked at the four people once and knew that they were Lin Muhan's uncle, Lin Junhao's family.

"Dad, we were just talking. This is my old home, how can I not come back?" Aunt Xu Meiyu immediately laughed, as if saying that she was not the one writing the dirty words.

Mi Xue looked at her and coincidentally, Xu Meiyu's gaze swept over as well. She covered her mouth and exclaimed, "Yo, Muhan, you haven't divorced this woman yet!"
