Gu Xiaoqi's eyes flickered slightly, "Ah? She has always been very good to you, hasn't she? Did she hear about what happened today? What if she tries to persuade you again?"
Li Chuan and Jiang Ling didn't speak, both watching her through the rearview mirror.
Mu Yinyin's expression was calm, and she merely pulled at her lips, "I won't turn back no matter what Grandma says, but the elder treats me well and deserves respect. I'll take a call first."
"Okay."
The car suddenly fell silent.
Mu Yinyin answered the phone.
"Grandma."
"Oh, Yinyin, what are you doing?" Jiang Rou's voice still sounded as gentle as before.
Mu Yinyin smiled faintly, "I'm in the car, getting ready to go back."
She hadn't seen her grandmother at the banquet, so she assumed she hadn't gone.
She had seen Old Master Fu and Fu Siye, but hadn't paid much attention to them.
"Is that so? Alas..." Jiang Rou couldn't help but sigh.
Mu Yinyin's gaze moved. She knew her grandmother was probably still upset about her divorce from Fu Siye, but since her grandmother wasn't urging reconciliation, she couldn't bring it up herself. She also didn't want her grandmother to talk about it.
However, this time, Mu Yinyin had thought too much.
Jiang Rou sighed again before speaking softly, "Yinyin, it was all Grandma's fault before."
"Ah?" Mu Yinyin was a little confused, "Grandma, what are you talking about?"
Jiang Rou sighed helplessly again, "Grandma shouldn't have controlled you so much before. She shouldn't have kept urging you to be with Fu Siye."
Surprise flashed in Mu Yinyin's eyes. She clearly hadn't expected her grandmother, who had always urged reconciliation and not separation, to express regret for her past actions today.
She pursed her lips and slowly said, "Grandma, it's not your fault. All elders wish for their children and grandchildren to be happy. It's only natural."
Jiang Rou shook her head helplessly, "No, Grandma was too muddled. I knew there was a vixen seducing my grandson, and I knew my grandson was stubborn, yet I still urged you to be together and often found ways to put you in the same place. It was all Grandma's selfishness."
"It's not your fault, Grandma. Please don't blame yourself." With just these words, she didn't know what else to say.
Mainly, Jiang Rou's words today had confused her, and she didn't know how to respond for a moment.
She... wasn't entirely sure if this was another tactic by her grandmother.
After all, she had witnessed all sorts of methods her grandmother had used to get Fu Siye to come home for dinner, to their home.
So...
Now...
She suddenly dared not overthink it.
Liang Min sighed again. Mu Yinyin had heard her sigh the most times today.
Then, her voice sounded again, "I heard about what happened at the banquet today. your grandfather's expression was very unpleasant, but I could see he regretted it. But what use is regret now?"
Mu Yinyin's eyes moved. Regret? How could that be?
When had the Fu Corporation ever lacked her, a mere Stars Group?
To them, she was not even a morsel.
"I couldn't help but scold them many times, but now it's done. Grandma knows you weren't happy in the Fu family, and Grandma will never urge you again. But... Yinyin, do you still consider Grandma your own grandmother?"
Towards the end, her voice became a little choked.
Mu Yinyin's expression changed slightly, and she quickly said, "I have always considered you my own grandmother. Regardless of my situation with Fu Siye, you are my grandmother."
Over the years, no matter how Grandma tricked Fu Siye, it had nothing to do with her, because everything Grandma did was for her own good. How could she not remember?
Over the years, Grandma had taken exceptionally good care of her. She had never shown the slightest dissatisfaction with her due to her humble status. On the contrary, she had always favored her. Sometimes, with Grandma, she felt like she was the granddaughter and Fu Siye was the grandson-in-law.
"Really?" The old lady's voice became significantly more excited. "Yinyin, are you not lying to Grandma?"
Gu Xiaoqi, who had heard everything, moved her eyes but said nothing.
"Of course not," Mu Yinyin said, holding her phone and sighing lightly. "Over the years, only you and Father doted on me. After Father left, I only felt the warmth of family from you. You are my own grandmother. Even if I divorce Fu Siye, it won't affect our relationship."
"Good, good, good," the old lady's voice became significantly more excited. She was in a particularly good mood with Mu Yinyin's response.
"Grandma, it's getting late. You should rest," Mu Yinyin's voice was exceptionally gentle, a gentleness she had never shown to anyone else, not even... Fu Siye.
In the past, she had wanted to be so gentle with him, but he had never given her the chance. They had spoken so little, and despite the many meals she had cooked, he had never eaten a single one.
Fu Siye.
In the end, he was destined to be a stranger to her.
Only when they had no intersection could she live the life she wanted.
"Alas... Sleep, sleep. Then, Yinyin, when will you have time to come and see Grandma?"
Mu Yinyin hesitated. Now that she had just divorced Fu Siye, if she were to visit, it might seem...
After a moment of thought, she said softly, "Grandma, you can also go out for a walk. How about we meet somewhere?"
"That works too." The old lady understood Mu Yinyin's concerns. She didn't mind at all, and her health was still robust, so she didn't need to be cooped up at home every day.
She often went out for walks.
"Then... the day after tomorrow? The company is off the day after tomorrow. Where shall I take you?"
"Okay! Then it's settled, Yinyin."
"Okay," Mu Yinyin said with a light smile, "Goodnight, Grandma."
"Goodnight."
After saying these two words, Mu Yinyin put down the phone. Soon, Liang Min also hung up.
Gu Xiaoqi looked at Mu Yinyin with a complex expression, "Does Old Mrs. Fu still hope for your reconciliation?"
Mu Yinyin's eyes moved, and she shook her head, "Honestly, I don't know."
With just these words, she didn't know what else to say.
Gu Xiaoqi frowned, "Then... will she have Fu Siye come with her when she meets you the day after tomorrow?"
Mu Yinyin said with a calm expression, "I think if she truly wanted me and Fu Siye to remarry, she wouldn't have brought Fu Siye the first time. She knows I've made up my mind and won't turn back."
Gu Xiaoqi sighed, "Then we can only see what she does later."
Mu Yinyin pursed her lips and said nothing.
Li Chuan said calmly, "Let's not talk about this for now. Since you've decided, don't think about it too much, Xiaoqi."
Suddenly, his words turned to Gu Xiaoqi, clearly indicating he had something to say.
