Since the divorce, no, a few days before the divorce, Mu Yinyin had already started to change.
She no longer glanced at him, and his presence made her impatient.
Now, she could chat and laugh freely with her grandmother, yet she wouldn't even spare him another look.
Were all women this fickle?
Heh—
Fu Siye withdrew his scrutinizing gaze and spoke to Liang Min, "Let's go."
Liang Min responded, and after one last worried instruction to Mu Yinyin, she followed Fu Siye.
After they left, they got into the car, with Fu Siye driving himself.
Liang Min sat in the back seat, her expression somber.
After getting into the car, she hadn't said a word to Fu Siye, as if she found him somewhat displeasing.
Fu Siye had clearly noticed this. He glanced at her through the rearview mirror, saying nothing, as he had already guessed the reason for Grandma's mood.
And Liang Min... couldn't hold back any longer. Seeing Fu Siye's continued silence, she spoke with a hint of disappointment, "You, you, Yinyin is so wonderful, why don't you cherish her!"
They hadn't exchanged many words in the ward earlier. Liang Min had felt a pang of sadness then, but she couldn't do anything, nor could she force them to do anything.
She had already given up on the idea of persuading them to get back together. So, she had to remain calm and not cause any more trouble for Yinyin.
Fu Siye's eyes flickered, but he didn't offer any extraneous words, continuing to drive.
Liang Min snorted, "Don't think you can escape just because you're silent. I wish I could punch you a few times right now. You lost such a good granddaughter-in-law, where will you find such a good wife now? Nan Shiqing perhaps?"
In the last few words, Liang Min's voice was filled with sarcasm.
Fu Siye's gaze paused briefly. Nan Shiqing.
He had once told Nan Shiqing that he would take responsibility for her. Her body had become this way because of him, and he couldn't leave her to suffer alone.
Now that they were divorced, he hadn't once spoken to Nan Shiqing about getting married.
Nan Shiqing had never brought it up, and he didn't want to mention it either.
Perhaps...
Mu Yinyin's constant troubles had left him with a phobia?
Fu Siye frowned, a clear trace of irritation crossing his eyes.
"Say something!"
"I'm listening to you," Fu Siye replied helplessly.
"You...!" Liang Min was exasperated. She leaned back against the seat, suddenly losing the desire to speak.
But after a pause, she spoke as if blaming herself, "It was my fault in the past."
Fu Siye's brow furrowed, and he glanced at her through the rearview mirror.
Liang Min sighed, "I shouldn't have tried to matchmake you two back then. I shouldn't have tried to arrange your meetings, and I shouldn't have let you waste Yinyin's youth like this."
Fu Siye sneered, "If she hadn't kept begging you to do it, would you have gone to such lengths?"
"She begged?" Liang Min's brows furrowed. "You think I only tried to matchmake you because she begged me?"
Fu Siye frowned, "Even if not, she exhausted all means to please you and make you like her, didn't she?"
Liang Min was amused to the point of anger!
"Yinyin never needed to please me. She's always been a filial child! Because I wanted to matchmake you two, she told me several times it was unnecessary, as your heart wasn't with her, and she had already given up! But I didn't, I didn't!"
Fu Siye's gaze deepened.
But the next moment, he let out a cold scoff. Mu Yinyin played the role of the innocent victim very well, making Grandma think she was pure and harmless, only to use Grandma as a shield.
Liang Min sighed again, "I shouldn't have dragged things out back then. If I had let you two part ways earlier, it would have been a release for Yinyin. Why bother wasting her youth like this?"
Fu Siye's expression darkened. "Who exactly is your biological grandson?"
Liang Min let out a cold snort, "I wish it wasn't you."
With that, Liang Min seemed to calm down a bit.
Fu Siye frowned, not saying a word, as if he didn't want to upset the elder.
Liang Min sighed softly, "Forget it. Since you're already divorced, I won't interfere in your matters anymore. I won't try to get you two together anymore. Since you don't like her, then let her be free."
Fu Siye's brows knitted tighter, the annoyance in his heart growing. He glanced at the traffic light signal ahead, activated the left turn signal, and said in a deep voice, "Freedom was never given by me, it was something she discarded herself."
"You..." Liang Min shook her head, "Hopeless!"
After saying that, she fell silent.
The car was suddenly quiet again.
But Fu Siye's expression grew increasingly somber. Perhaps thinking of something, he directly turned on the music.
If his assistant were present, they would be greatly shocked, as Mr. Fu normally disliked playing music while driving.
An hour later, they arrived at the Fu family's old residence.
The old master had already returned. Fu Siye remained in the villa's courtyard, showing no intention of getting out of the car. However, before Liang Min could even exit and close the car door, Old Master Fu walked out directly. He looked at Fu Siye in the driver's seat and said sternly, "Get out, I have something to say to you."
Fu Siye's eyes deepened, and he finally got out of the car.
Liang Min glanced at the grandfather and grandson. Clearly still upset, she snorted and returned to her bedroom, not greeting them at all, evidently not wanting to have dinner with them.
Old Master Fu frowned, but he had no time to deal with Liang Min at the moment. He merely spoke to the butler, "Have someone coax her down. We'll have dinner together later."
Butler: "..."
The butler rubbed his nose and could only comply.
Being a butler here, while the salary was high, the work was also quite extensive. For instance, he often had to resolve their private disputes.
And now, he had to find someone to coax the old madam downstairs for dinner.
As for Fu Siye, he remained silent and followed Old Master Fu to the study.
Old Master Fu walked to the sofa and sat down. He cast a faint glance at Fu Siye before speaking, "Sit down first."
Fu Siye remained silent and sat opposite him.
He didn't look at Old Master Fu, already guessing what this was about.
In the afternoon, Old Master Fu had called Fu Siye. However, Fu Siye was in a meeting at the time, and his assistant had answered. By the end of the workday, Fu Siye had received another call from his grandfather, asking him to pick up Liang Min, which led to the current situation.
Old Master Fu had deliberately arranged for him to bring Liang Min here to meet and speak with him directly.
Old Master Fu sized up Fu Siye and said sternly, "I went through all this trouble to get you here, you must know what I'm going to say, right?"
Fu Siye's expression was indifferent, and he offered no reply.
