Chapter 190: Chapter 190: Sir, Don’t Be a Coward!

This was the first time in Mu Yunlie’s life that he had been refused entry.

He stood outside the door, holding takeout, watching the girl standing under the light inside.

On her face was a look of utter disbelief.

She used to not look like that when she saw him.

Suddenly, Mu Yunlie felt that the author of "How to Please a Woman" had some points right.

Women are fickle.

The book also mentioned that love is like a game; the one who takes it seriously first loses.

So, now he had lost.

Seeing that Yan Qianyi was hesitant to come up and open the door, Mu Yunlie was about to set down the takeout and leave.

Ah Chang seemed to know what he was thinking and quickly said, "Master, don’t back down! If you leave now, you’ll really have lost!"

"Miss, why haven’t you opened the door yet?" Aunt Xue looked over, and upon seeing Mu Yunlie standing outside, a smile lifted her face, "The son-in-law is here!"

After saying that, Aunt Xue briskly walked past Yan Qianyi to open the door for Mu Yunlie, "Son-in-law, you’ve arrived! We moved in a hurry today, I was worried the miss had forgotten to notify you."

Yan Qianyi clenched her hands, standing still, wanting to cry.

She had hurriedly moved without even waiting for an auspicious day, just so Mu Yunlie wouldn’t be able to find her again.

She didn’t expect him to be capable of locating her so quickly.

Mu Yunlie handed the takeout he was holding to Aunt Xue, "I ran into the delivery guy at the entrance."

"Have you had dinner, son-in-law?" Aunt Xue asked as she took the takeout.

"I have," Mu Yunlie replied emotionlessly.

He actually hadn’t; he had been looking for her all night.

But this was his last bit of dignity and stubbornness!

Yan Qianyi felt somewhat uneasy and didn’t dare to look at him, turning her head towards the open kitchen, "Aunt Xue, let’s eat quickly, I’m starving."

As Mu Yunlie sat on the sofa, he noticed Yan Qianyi eating with apparent relish, a cold sneer flickered across his lips.

Such a good appetite, it seems her illness was also feigned.

His gaze swept over the room again, where luggage was piled up big and small everywhere.

He slightly frowned and sent a message to Pei Yuexuan.

Actually, Yan Qianyi was eating without any appetite at all.

She could feel Mu Yunlie’s gaze occasionally falling on her.

Pretending to relish the meal was just her way of acting normal, to cover up the panic inside her.

The atmosphere was a bit strange.

Until the doorbell rang again.

Aunt Xue stood up to answer the door, only to see Yan Hong and Yan Ruyi standing outside, her smile stiffened, "Miss, it’s... it’s the master who has come."

Yan Qianyi’s hand paused with her chopsticks, feeling even less appetite and suddenly finding the takeout a bit disgusting.

She had rushed to move just to find a quiet place, not expecting it to become so lively.

Yan Hong entered with Yan Ruyi, casting a disdainful glance at Mu Yunlie who was sitting on the sofa, and walked straight towards Yan Qianyi.

Although Old Lady Yan had said in front of Yan Hong that Mu Yunlie was not a poor boy,

Yan Hong had not seen it with his own eyes, and initially, Mu Yunlie indeed had not been able to produce a betrothal gift; even if he had a bit of money now, what of it?

He still looked down on this superficial son-in-law.

Yan Hong walked into the dining room, just about to sit next to Yan Qianyi, but Yan Qianyi kicked the chair away, with chopsticks in her mouth, she said, "I don’t welcome you here."

Yan Ruyi quickly dodged to the side, narrowly missing getting hit by the chair.

Yan Hong’s face stiffened, he tried to muster a smile and looked at Yan Qianyi, "Still angry with dad?"

"Don’t wrongly claim relations, we’ve broken off our relationship already," Yan Qianyi coldly looked up at Yan Hong, "How did you find this place?"

Yan Hong strained to keep smiling, "The boss who did your house renovation, I know him, we’ve dined and drunk together."

When Ruyi came back and told him about Qianyi dealing with the villa’s renovation, he immediately started investigating.

He also asked Old Madam whether she secretly gave money to Qianyi, but Old Madam denied it.

"When there’s no business, you won’t visit the temple; if you have something to say, just say it," Yan Qianyi spared no face.

On the matter of Mu Zicheng, she had completely lost any affection for Yan Hong.

The smile on Yan Hong’s face became even stiffer, looking worse than crying.

He never expected that the obedient and sensible daughter he once knew, had such a rebellious side hidden.

Swallowing the anger inside him, he walked to the chair Yan Qianyi had kicked away and sat down, "Aunt Xue, pour me a glass of water."

"There’s no free water here, plain water costs a thousand a glass, add tea leaves for three thousand, transfer the money first," Yan Qianyi looked at Yan Hong, a slight smile on her lips, "Which one would you like?"

Yan Hong was speechless.

Mu Yunlie gave a faint smile on hearing this.

"Yan Qianyi, don’t be too excessive!" Yan Ruyi couldn’t watch any longer, exclaimed, "Dad raised you all these years, you haven’t even repaid him for all his kindness, and now you’re haggling with him over a glass of water, it’s highly unfilial!"

Yan Qianyi sneered, raising an eyebrow, glancing sideways at Yan Ruyi, "You have no place to speak here, did I not remind you to cherish your current life? Don’t provoke me."

Does Yan Ruyi not realize that there is karma in this world?

The debts owed will have to be paid, sooner or later.

If she were Yan Ruyi, she’d be lying low right now, not jumping around in front of her.

Because, perhaps one day when she’s in a bad mood, she might just execute her plans early.

"Sir, the Miss is a bit tired today, if you have something to say, say it quickly, the Miss has to get up early tomorrow," Aunt Xue advised.

Having worked for the Yan family for many years, she truly couldn’t bear to see a father and daughter becoming enemies.

If Madam were still alive, she would certainly be distressed seeing this situation.

"Fine, then I’ll get straight to the point," Yan Hong nodded his head.

His visit tonight was intended to have a good talk with Yan Qianyi, but her attitude was unbearable.

He bluntly said, "Hand over the Medical Secret Recipe that your mother left you."

Yan Qianyi furrowed her brows, as if she heard a joke, "Are you speaking human language? I don’t understand."

"Stop pretending, I heard it from Ruyi, you cured someone with poison during outdoor training. If your mother hadn’t left you the Medical Secret Recipe, how would you know how to do that?"

He admitted, this daughter learned from her mother since childhood, showing some talent in medical skills.

But she hadn’t studied systematically and had been in a coma for two years.

Without the Medical Secret Recipe, where would she get such ability?

Although the funds in the corporation had been turned around, business hadn’t improved.

If the Yans didn’t produce something soon, operating like this, they’ll only repeat past mistakes sonner or later.

Yan Qianyi, uninterested, coldly said, "I don’t have it, just leave."

"Yan Qianyi!" Yan Hong slammed the table furiously, "Your mother married me, so everything she had is the Yan Family’s! You can break off our relations, but you must hand over the Yan’s belongings!"

Inside the living room, Mu Yunlie stood up, about to step forward.

Just at that moment, Pei Yuexuan arrived with several burly men.
