She frowned slightly, raising her eyes to look at the man sitting at the desk. Seeing his cold expression and lack of strong emotion, she withdrew her gaze, no longer scrutinizing him.
After an unknown amount of time, faint sounds finally came from the doorway.
Then, a knock echoed from outside.
"Stinky brat, are you in there?"
Fu Siye said nothing. He stood up, walked to the door, and then opened it.
Upon seeing Fu Siye, the old madam immediately began to examine him from head to toe, her brows furrowed as she asked, "What happened? You just fainted out of nowhere."
As she spoke, she continued to scrutinize Fu Siye, trying to see if anything was amiss.
"There's nothing wrong, I'm fine now," Fu Siye replied, his expression calm and his voice indifferent.
However, Mu Yinyin, sitting on the sofa, could still sense that he was quite gentle when facing his grandmother.
As Fu Siye spoke, he stepped aside. Liang Min then noticed that there was another person in the office. She immediately looked over and, upon seeing Mu Yinyin, exclaimed with surprise, "Yinyin?!"
Mu Yinyin's presence in Fu Siye's office suggested that things between them weren't as tense as they appeared.
At that moment, the old madam couldn't be happier. She seemed to have forgotten about Fu Siye and immediately walked towards Mu Yinyin.
Fu Siye's expression darkened slightly, but he remained silent, returning to his desk.
Liang Min, on the other hand, seemed to have completely forgotten about him, walking over and sitting down beside Mu Yinyin.
Mu Yinyin smiled and said, "Grandma, it's been a long time."
"Hmph!" the old madam retorted, a hint of傲娇 (arrogance/haughtiness) mixed with displeasure in her voice. "You girl! You actually know it's been a long time! You know we haven't seen each other in ages!!"
Liang Min's voice carried a tinge of grievance, her mixed emotions manifesting as a form of haughty complaint.
Mu Yinyin couldn't help but feel a mix of amusement and exasperation. She quickly replied, "I was planning to visit you after I finished my work for this period, but I didn't expect to see you here today."
Liang Min immediately said, "That won't do!"
Mu Yinyin: "?"
Fu Siye also looked at Liang Min with a hint of confusion, unsure why she had suddenly spoken those words so emphatically.
Next, Liang Min looked at Mu Yinyin with a sense of urgency and said, "Seeing each other today doesn't count as a proper meeting. You still need to visit me. The originally planned time can only be moved forward, not postponed!"
Fu Siye: "..."
Mu Yinyin couldn't help but stifle a laugh. "Alright, I'll come see you tomorrow, okay?"
Liang Min's eyes lit up with joy. "Really? You'll come tomorrow?!"
"Yes, tomorrow."
"Great!!! I knew my granddaughter was the best!" All the feigned displeasure Liang Min had displayed moments ago vanished. Hearing that she could see Mu Yinyin again tomorrow, she could no longer maintain her pretense.
Fu Siye sat to the side, remaining silent.
Only then did Liang Min, as if belatedly remembering, turn her attention back to Fu Siye. "What happened to you just now? Why did you faint out of the blue?"
Fu Siye's expression remained calm. "It's nothing."
Liang Min's brow furrowed, but then, as if remembering something else, she immediately looked at Mu Yinyin again. "Yinyin, so you came because you heard this stinky brat fainted and wanted to check on him?"
Fu Siye: "..."
So the concern from moments ago was gone? His grandmother's attention was more focused on Mu Yinyin?
How could this woman be so good at charming people?
Even Dyson was now saying that Mu Yinyin was a good catch and advising him to reconcile.
Fu Siye's gaze returned to Mu Yinyin's face. Seeing the obedient smile on her lips, his expression darkened further. Why couldn't they see how hypocritical this woman was? Why did they still praise her?
What was there to praise about her?
Didn't they all see through this woman's many faces?
Fu Siye lowered his eyes slightly, unwilling to look at Mu Yinyin anymore.
As for Mu Yinyin, after hearing Liang Min's words, the smile on her lips seemed to freeze for a moment.
"Yinyin? Speak up!" Liang Min looked at Mu Yinyin expectantly.
Mu Yinyin's lips twitched, and she finally replied, "...Yes."
Liang Min was instantly overjoyed. "So! Yinyin, you still haven't let go of this stinky brat, have you?!"
Fu Siye's lowered gaze suddenly snapped up, fixing directly on Mu Yinyin, as if waiting for her response.
Mu Yinyin's eyes shifted.
Moments ago, she didn't want to disappoint her grandmother, and she had indeed come because of Fu Siye's condition, so she said what her grandmother wanted to hear.
But this time.
Fu Siye was present, and she didn't want him to think she was shameless. She smiled and said, "Grandma, Mr. Fu and I are business partners now. Naturally, I would be among the first to show concern for his situation."
Otherwise, if he died, my business wouldn't be able to operate.
She really wanted to say the latter part. If it were only Fu Siye in the office and not her grandmother, she would have said it without hesitation.
Even without her saying it, Fu Siye's expression had already darkened.
And Liang Min's eyes, which had been expectant moments ago, now seemed somewhat dim.
After a pause, she slowly sighed, "Alas... I was overthinking things."
However, after speaking, she turned her angry gaze to Fu Siye. "It's clearly you! You brat, you're so useless! You don't know what's good for you! In the future, there will come a day when you regret this!!"
Fu Siye let out a cold scoff, completely unconcerned by Liang Min's words.
But because Liang Min was an elder, Fu Siye didn't retort.
It was just...
Liang Min could see his rebellious demeanor. She raised a hand, shaking her finger angrily at Fu Siye, and finally sighed, saying sternly, "Never mind, I can't be bothered to lecture you."
Mu Yinyin lowered her gaze slightly, remaining silent.
As long as they stopped talking about this topic, anything was fine.
Fu Siye's expression seemed to have darkened considerably.
He also stopped speaking, not wanting to continue this conversation.
Liang Min then looked at Fu Siye and spoke again, "And your body? What did the doctor say? Is anything wrong?"
"Doctor?"
This sudden question made Liang Min look at him with confusion. "What do you mean by that reaction?"
Mu Yinyin's eyelids twitched, and she immediately looked up at Fu Siye.
Then, she heard him let out a cold scoff. "She told me I wouldn't die."
Mu Yinyin: "..."
"Ah?" Liang Min was surprised. "The doctor dared to speak to you like that?"
At this moment, Liang Min seemed to have forgotten the true meaning of the statement, merely wondering who dared to speak to her grandson in such a manner.
