Chapter 466: Chapter 466 This Calamity

"Ha!"

The moment she finished speaking, Yu Cheng very helpfully let out a disdainful snort.

Yu Ruixuan’s face immediately turned red with shame and anger.

But he didn’t know if Jiang Mianmian was right, or if she was messing with him, but now he was truly stuck between a rock and a hard place, not daring to say she was right, nor daring to say she was wrong.

After all, in this room was Yu Rou, the smart one who got full marks in English.

So, he immediately turned to his mom with a look of seeking help, hoping she could resolve this tricky situation for him.

Zhou Yanyu did not disappoint and stepped forward, smiling as she said to Jiang Mianmian, "Mianmian, come on, give the newspaper back to auntie. You’re young and don’t understand English, don’t talk nonsense."

"Auntie, I’m not talking nonsense, this word does mean ’deployment.’ I’ve learned it, it was Brother Ruixuan who got it wrong," Jiang Mianmian insisted, holding the newspaper firmly and speaking with conviction.

Zhou Yanyu, seeing how she failed to read the room, her expression soured immediately.

"How could a little child like you understand such complicated English? Are you still holding a grudge because your brother pushed you last time? Is that why you are deliberately saying this? Mianmian, that’s not right. Children should not lie."

As Zhou Yanyu spoke with such firm conviction, she herself also started to doubt whether Jiang Mianmian might actually be correct.

But it didn’t matter whether she was right or not; Zhou Yanyu couldn’t admit it either way. So, she simply skirted around the issue and blamed it on the childishness of holding grudges.

"Mianmian doesn’t lie."

Yu Rou had been watching for a long time, and although she didn’t want to get involved in her uncle’s family affairs, she couldn’t stand by as her aunt wronged a child, and immediately stepped in, "Auntie, Mianmian was right just now; that word really isn’t ’launch,’ it’s ’deployment.’"

Once Yu Rou spoke up, Zhou Yanyu was shocked; after all, Yu Rou was the university student of the family, and her words carried credibility.

In a hurry, Zhou Yanyu covertly glanced at Elder Yu, and, surely enough, found that his face had turned rather grim.

Zhou Yanyu’s mouth opened and closed a few times, but in her haste, she couldn’t find an excuse to explain.

Jiang Mianmian took the opportunity to hold up the newspaper and continued to ask, "Brother Ruixuan, what does this word mean?"

Yu Ruixuan also knew the situation had spiraled out of control. Looking at the word on the newspaper, it felt as though the letters had grown faces and were sneering at him.

"This, this word, I’ve forgotten what it means," he stammered.

Elder Yu had seen it all in his lifetime, and with one look at his grandson’s anxious demeanor, his daughter-in-law’s panic, what more was there to understand?

Elder Yu looked sternly at Yu Ruixuan and said softly, "Ruixuan, come here."

Yu Ruixuan, his head low, shuffled over step by step.

Elder Yu, with a serious face, asked him, "Ruixuan, tell your grandfather the truth. Can you recognize all the words in this newspaper?"

Though Elder Yu’s temperament had mellowed in recent years, when he got serious, he was still very intimidating.

Frightened by his grandfather, Yu Ruixuan shook his head fearfully, "Grandfather, I’m sorry, I was wrong. I only wanted you to praise me. I will study English harder in the future."

As Yu Ruixuan finished, tears started to fall down his face, pitter-patter.

"Dad, this is all my fault. I asked Ruixuan to memorize it, thinking it would make you happy," Zhou Yanyu said, seeing that Elder Yu was truly angry. She hurriedly took all the blame upon herself.

Right now, she could hate Jiang Mianmian to death. That troublemaker had ruined the plan she had so carefully prepared.
