The old man's face instantly turned displeased, but before he could say anything, Liang Min coldly interjected, "Yinyin used to have Si Ye in her heart, but people's hearts are made of flesh and blood. After these years of how you've treated her, why do you think Yinyin's heart can still hold Si Ye?"
Fu Si Ye's brows furrowed, and he remained silent with a grim expression.
Liang Min scoffed, "I'd be delighted if Yinyin were willing to remarry Si Ye. She's the granddaughter-in-law I value most, and no one else will do. But if Si Ye still has other vixen in his heart, bringing Yinyin back would be trapping her!"
Fu Si Ye's expression darkened, "Grandma."
These two words were enough. He didn't say anything more, but his meaning was clear: he didn't want the elderly woman to continue speaking.
But Jiang Rou scoffed again, "What? Did I say something wrong? If you can't love Yinyin wholeheartedly, I advise you not to harbor any more thoughts about her. She's a good girl, and you've already let her down once. Have some decency and don't let her down a second time!"
Fu Si Ye: "..."
The old man's face immediately darkened. "What you're saying... nowadays, in affluent families, where is there true emotion? It's all about interests. Besides, after two people are together, who knows if feelings might develop over time."
"Feelings develop over time? They were married for three years, did you see any feelings develop? It was all Yinyin's foolish efforts alone," Liang Min sneered unceremoniously. Seeing Fu Si Ye's face grow increasingly grim, she showed no signs of stopping and disdainfully added, "So, in this situation, it's best you don't disturb her."
Fu Si Ye's thin lips were tightly pressed together, and he didn't utter a single word.
Liang Min, meanwhile, leisurely ate her food, showing no sign of anger. If one looked closely, they could even detect a shrewd glint in her eyes.
Evidently.
As an old married couple, the old man clearly sensed something amiss. He narrowed his eyes, observing his wife. Seeing her contentedly swallow her food, he mocked again, "If you ask me, Yinyin is suited for a man who knows how to cherish her. Look at Lu Sinian, how good he is to Yinyin now, pursuing her with all his might, heartbroken, wishing to be with her forever. I'm so moved watching them... If not, I'll advise Yinyin to get together with that boy from the Lu family."
"You...!" the old man feigned anger, "Mu Yinyin is clearly most compatible with Si Ye now. They were husband and wife before, so remarrying wouldn't be considered a second marriage. If Mu Yinyin marries Lu Sinian, she would be remarried, and Lu Sinian would be marrying for the first time. Do you think they'll be happy in the future? What a joke!"
As the old man spoke, he cast a sidelong glance at Fu Si Ye.
Fu Si Ye's expression was merely a little grim. He sat motionless in his chair, saying nothing, as if suppressing his anger, accompanying the elder to eat.
However...
Just as Liang Min was about to say something, Fu Si Ye immediately spoke up, "Seeing as you two are eating, you don't need my company. You eat, I'm heading back."
"No!" Liang Min's face instantly darkened. "Since you're here, you'll stay and rest tonight. You'll be here from now on, and I'll watch you eat!"
However, her words caused Fu Si Ye to let out a cold laugh.
Liang Min immediately frowned and said sternly, "What attitude is that?"
"Since Mu Yinyin will be visiting you often from now on, what reason do I have to come here? Meeting her every day, aren't you afraid she'll rekindle her feelings for me? If I can't give her what she wants, and let her down again, won't that make you sad and upset for your own granddaughter?"
"You...!!!" Liang Min was so angry she was speechless.
The old man, through this, completely grasped Liang Min's intention. He directly looked at Fu Si Ye and said, "I think your grandmother is right. Your health isn't great now, and you don't eat properly. You really need to take good care of yourself and not be too harsh. You'll eat and sleep here from now on, just as your grandmother said. You're a bachelor, what inconvenience could there be for you."
Fu Si Ye: "..."
After a pause, he said speechlessly, "Are you resorting to personal attacks now?"
"What do you mean personal attacks?" Liang Min said disdainfully, "I'm telling the truth, and you don't admit it?"
Fu Si Ye frowned, seeming too lazy to argue with them. Even with Liang Min and Old Master Fu speaking, he didn't stay any longer. He stood up and headed upstairs, "I'm going to take a shower, you eat."
He said this completely with his back to them.
Liang Min immediately put on a show and said, "You brat, come back here!"
Fu Si Ye didn't look back; in fact, he quickened his pace. In a moment, his figure had disappeared from their sight.
The old man immediately looked at Liang Min and asked with some confusion, "Were you intentionally provoking him just now?"
His voice was very low, and even if Fu Si Ye hadn't gone into the bedroom, he wouldn't have heard it.
Liang Min took a sip of water and snorted coldly, "What does it have to do with you?"
"Of course, it has something to do with it! He's our grandson!" The old man's face was not very pleasant.
Liang Min snorted coldly and simply ignored him.
...
Upstairs.
Fu Si Ye had already entered the bathroom.
His expression had been unpleasant the entire time. He stood under the showerhead, letting the water stream over him, but it seemed unable to calm him.
Outside the bathroom, his phone vibrated non-stop, but he didn't hear it.
When he regained control of his emotions and came out, he found three missed calls.
Upon checking, they were all from Nan Shiqing.
Fu Si Ye frowned slightly, and Liang Min's words from just now instantly flashed through his mind.
—
But, Si Ye still has other vixen in his heart, bringing Yinyin back would be trapping her!
—
In an instant, a sense of irritation welled up again.
Fu Si Ye closed his eyes, raised his hand, and pressed his brow before calling back.
Soon, the other party answered.
"Si Ye, you finally answered!" Nan Shiqing said. Without waiting for Fu Si Ye to respond, she continued with worry and a hint of grievance, "What were you doing just now? Why didn't you answer the phone? Are you feeling unwell? Grandma shouldn't be making you work overtime at this hour, right? You... I'm so worried about you, I couldn't help but call you several times."
Fu Si Ye's gaze paused, and he said faintly, "I was just taking a shower."
"Oh, I see..." Nan Shiqing breathed a slight sigh of relief. "That's good, I'm relieved you're okay. I was really scared, like last time. Si Ye, you can't have any problems, otherwise, I feel like I can't live without you."
