Chapter 154: Chapter 154: Divine Doctor’s Disguise Falls Off

Mu Yunlie found Nangong Xiaoxue at the nursing home.

The room where Nangong Xiaoxue stayed wasn’t large; one could see the end of it right from the entrance.

The entire nursing home didn’t have any upscale facilities, but its only merit was being elegant and clean.

"So every time you run away from home, you come here?" Mu Yunlie asked.

No wonder he and Grandpa had never been able to find her.

A nursing home with no name recognition, known only because the Masked Divine Doctor had live-streamed from this place.

Moreover, it housed only the childless and poor elderly.

He hadn’t expected Grandma to be comfortable in such a small place, given the plush life she’d led since childhood.

To escape Grandpa, she truly was capable of anything.

"Yes, this is my secret. If you betray me and tell your grandpa, I’ll sever ties with you," said Nangong Xiaoxue, standing at the door without turning back.

Her gaze was fixed in the distance, as if waiting for someone.

After inspecting the room’s furnishings, Mu Yunlie went up behind Nangong Xiaoxue and asked, "Waiting for the girl you introduced me to last time?"

The sudden proximity of his voice startled Nangong Xiaoxue.

She turned to look at Mu Yunlie, "You lad, you really can see through everything."

Mu Yunlie slightly hooked the corner of his lip, giving a cryptic smile.

If not for the matchmaking, how could Grandma have let him know about her ’secret base’?

"Ah Lie, don’t go. Listen to Grandma, that girl is really great. Trust Grandma, I wouldn’t set you up," Nangong Xiaoxue urged anxiously.

Mu Yunlie turned and sat down on a chair, "When will she arrive?"

Nangong Xiaoxue was taken aback, "You... are not leaving?"

She thought that once Ah Lie knew the truth, he would immediately leave.

"No, since Grandma spoke so highly of her, why not meet her again?"

Nangong Xiaoxue, overjoyed, looked again towards the door, "By right, she should have been here by now, let me ask her."

Nangong Xiaoxue checked her bracelet only to see that the Masked Divine Doctor had already messaged her.

"Oh no! She said something came up and she couldn’t make it!"

Mu Yunlie lightly tapped on the coffee table, asking, "What excuse did you originally use to invite her here?"

"I just told her I wasn’t feeling well and asked her to come over to check on me."

At this point, Nangong Xiaoxue candidly said, "Ah Lie, truth be told, that girl is the famously popular Masked Divine Doctor online. She’s really impressive! See, Grandma didn’t set you up, did she?"

Mu Yunlie nodded thoughtfully, a playful smile appearing in his eyes.

Originally, he had come here tonight to see, after Grandma had run away from home, what kind of people she had been meeting.

He had not expected to run into Yan Qianyi outside.

It seems his suspicions were not misplaced...

Nangong Xiaoxue continued, "The last time you two met, it must have ended on bad terms, so this time I wanted to trick both of you into coming here, to let you meet once more."

"So, she had agreed to come earlier but changed her mind at the last minute?"

"That’s right!"

"Invite her again. Tell her you just had a fight with your grandson and feel even worse, ask her to come over, emphasizing that your grandson has already left."

Nangong Xiaoxue thought about it, "Ah Lie, are you implying that she changed her mind after knowing you were here? Did she see you at the door just now?"

Mu Yunlie gave a noncommittal smile, "Just invite her as I suggested. I’ll wait."

"Alright, I’ll try."

Yan Qianyi had already driven halfway when she suddenly received a voice message from Nangong Xiaoxue.

"Grandma Nangong, I’m really sorry about tonight, I..."

"Oh, Little Divine Doctor, I feel like I’m about to die..."

"What’s wrong?"

"My grandson, oh, he’s really infuriating. He came to see me just now, argued fiercely with me, and then stormed out. I... I’m really going to be angered to death by him! How could our family have such a scourge... Oh... such misfortune for our family!"

Mu Yunlie sat nearby, watching his grandmother’s exaggerated performance, his lips twitching stiffly.

Was it necessary to lie so extravagantly?

He now suspected that his grandmother was seizing the opportunity to scold him.

"Little Divine Doctor, I feel like I’m running out of breath..."

Yan Qianyi asked anxiously, "Didn’t you see the message I sent you?"

"I saw it."

"Didn’t Dean Xu arrange for a doctor to come?"

"I don’t want to see the doctor anymore, I might as well be dead... Little Divine Doctor, I really like you, it’s a pity my grandson doesn’t have the good fortune. I want to see you one last time before I die..."

Yan Qianyi furrowed her brows and pondered for a moment, "Grandma Nangong, please calm down, take a deep breath, don’t get agitated, I’m coming back right away."

With that, she spun the steering wheel, the car elegantly turned around.

Nangong Xiaoxue could even hear the sound of tires rubbing against the ground on the other end.

"Okay... just drive slowly then, I should be able to hold on until you arrive... ah..."

"I’ll be there soon, don’t worry."

Yan Qianyi lightly touched her earbud, ended the voice chat, and then placed both hands on the steering wheel, driving seriously.

Mu Yunlie had inexplicably lashed out at her when he left.

She hadn’t expected him to go and vent on Grandma Nangong as well.

To anger an elderly person like that, he really was a scourge!

After hanging up, Nangong Xiaoxue smiled at Mu Yunlie, "She’s already on her way, you see, I told you she’s a kind-hearted girl."

But Mu Yunlie frowned, "Grandma, do you really have such a big problem with me?"

"How could that be? You are Grandma’s pride."

"You just called me a scourge."

"Wasn’t it you who wanted me to tell her that we had argued and then you left? I had to exaggerate a bit or she wouldn’t have believed it."

Mu Yunlie pursed his lips tightly.

Being scolded by his grandmother for no reason, if he could successfully expose her true face tonight, it would be worth it.

Nangong Xiaoxue: "I’ve already tricked her into coming here, you must win her over tonight, or we are cutting ties!"

Mu Yunlie: "..."

Women seem to always talk about cutting ties so easily, regardless of age.

Soon, Yan Qianyi arrived.

She put on her mask, pushed open the slightly ajar door of Nangong Xiaoxue’s room, and saw Nangong Xiaoxue lying in bed.

"Grandma Nangong, are you okay?" Yan Qianyi walked briskly forward. "Take one of these Instant Heart Rescue Pills first."

She helped Nangong Xiaoxue sit up and brought the pill to her lips.

Nangong Xiaoxue opened her eyes and smiled at her, "Little Divine Doctor, you are here, I feel much better now."

Yan Qianyi paused, feeling strangely that there was something eerie in Grandma Nangong’s smile.

The next moment, a familiar voice came from behind, "We meet again."
