Chapter 257: Chapter 257: Some things can never be spoken for a lifetime Chapter 257: Chapter 257: Some things can never be spoken for a lifetime Yun Meixian hadn’t expected Mu Lan to return, her eyes carrying a trace of excitement.

“Mu Lan is here, cough cough cough…”

Recently feeling unwell, Yun Meixian’s voice, as she spoke, was as raspy as if rubbed against sandpaper.

“Auntie.”

With this call of ‘auntie,’ Mu Lan sounded extremely unfamiliar, casting a shadow over Yun Meixian’s eyes.

“Make yourself at home, Aze is on a business trip, and it’s just me here. Ningning, you’re busy with work–you needn’t come to visit this old woman.”

Luo Ning didn’t consider herself an outsider, joking with Yun Meixian with a smile.

“That’s not true. I only recently found out about the relationship between you and Mu Lan; otherwise, I would have brought her over to visit earlier.

Today we both happened to be free, so…”

Luo Ning knew about Lin Yize’s affection for Mu Lan and naturally sought to make Mu Lan uncomfortable. Since Pei Zhao’s heart was set on Mu Lan, no one could blame her for being ruthless–if she couldn’t have it, neither could anyone else! As long as Pei Zhao made life difficult for her, Mu Lan would suffer as well.

“You’re too kind. The changing weather in early autumn makes it easy to fall ill, and my body, cough cough cough, has gotten used to it over so many years.

In a while, once I’m no longer in Sea City, things will be better.”

Not in Sea City? Mu Lan felt a sudden pang of inexplicable sorrow, looking at Yun Meixian with a sense of closeness she couldn’t quite articulate.

“Do you suffer from a chronic condition? Seeing a traditional Chinese medicine doctor for treatment might be better.”

Yun Meixian looked at Mu Lan, her eyes brimming with tears, knowing why Mu Lan had suddenly lost contact with her, alas, she really didn’t expect her boy…

She was even more surprised to discover that Mu Lan was to be the Huo Family’s granddaughter-in-law. Had she not seen the bold headline about the Huo Family’s engagement to the Sheng Family, Yun Meixian would never have imagined the world could be so small.

“It’s nothing serious, nothing serious. Cough cough cough…”

Luo Ning hadn’t expected Mu Lan to talk to Yun Meixian so freely and care about her without any awkwardness.

Strange, wasn’t she supposed to be on bad terms with Lin Yize? How could she still care so much and be so kind to his mother?

Humph, playing innocent and pretending to be the saintly white lotus flower?

“Miss Mu really does take great care of Aunt Yun. No wonder Aunt Yun acknowledged you as her goddaughter.

Aunt Yun, you’re truly fortunate.”

Luo Ning’s words were sweet, but her eyes told another story. Mu Lan didn’t know what her real purpose was in bringing her here, but she had to accept the situation.

If she couldn’t handle such a trivial matter, how would she cope with the bigger storms ahead?

“Yes, I am fortunate.”

As if realizing something, Yun Meixian’s gaze became deeper when she looked at Mu Lan.

“How are things between you and your husband now?”

Caught off guard by Yun Meixian’s abrupt question, Mu Lan paused for a moment before nodding.

“Yes, it’s alright.”

Luo Ning raised an eyebrow, unintentionally blurting out.

“Ah? So you and your husband have a good relationship? I almost believed those gossip stories saying you were getting a divorce.

Sigh, they truly are nothing but nonsense from others.”

Yun Meixian was stunned.

“Divorce? Mu Lan, you…”

Mu Lan frowned slightly, looking at Luo Ning.

“Miss Luo, being in the entertainment industry, you should know how little of the so-called gossip is believable and how much is hearsay.”

Even if it were true, Mu Lan didn’t want to discuss her private affairs, and it was clear Luo Ning was doing this to embarrass her.

“Lanlan, this marriage matter requires careful consideration; you can’t act on a whim.”

Yun Meixian held onto Mu Lan’s hand with a concerned expression that involuntarily reminded Mu Lan of Shen Ying.

“I know, rest assured.”

Luo Ning was about to say something when his phone suddenly rang. He had to discuss a collaboration, and although he was reluctant, he had no choice but to go.

“Sorry, Aunt Yun, I still have work on my end. Have a good talk with Miss Mu, I’ll take my leave first.”

Mu Lan felt relieved when Luo Ning left; she couldn’t understand what had gotten into him to target her like this.

“Lanlan, is your fallout with your husband because of Aze?

I know all about it, I know that child… Ah, I really don’t know what to say. He’s been fond of you since high school, I’m aware of that.

But, I could never allow him to disrupt your family.

If he did anything excessive, I apologize on his behalf; he didn’t mean to, he’s just…”

Yun Meixian hesitated, some things she had to keep to herself for a lifetime and never voice.

Although Gu Xiaoman had already told her about these matters, Mu Lan still found it hard to believe that Lin Yize, who had always been gentle and refined, could have harbored a crush on her since high school.

“You should also talk to your senior. He helped me a lot during high school, and I’ve always been grateful to him.

But other than gratitude…”

Mu Lan didn’t finish her sentence, but Yun Meixian understood what she meant.

“I know, I understand it all. Matters of the heart definitely require mutual affection.

You are a good child, and I wish for your happiness, cough cough…

Child, your current husband…how is he treating you?

Are you… doing well?”

There was a look in Yun Meixian’s eyes that Mu Lan couldn’t quite define–something akin to hope, yet also something else.

Mu Lan thought to herself that if she could just remember past events, she would resonate more with the emotions, and better understand the concern of the elder before her.

“We’re fine, he’s… he’s been very kind to me.”

This was indeed Mu Lan’s honest feeling; recently, he had been very good to her.

But whether she could regain confidence again, Mu Lan didn’t know.

The decisiveness and bravery of her childhood had been mostly worn away by seven years of marriage, and rebuilding it was not an easy task.

“That’s good, as long as you’re both doing well, that’s good.

Cough cough… You mentioned earlier that you have been married for several years. I didn’t believe it at first, but later…”

Yun Meixian’s eyes fell.

“After I saw the reports, I learned that your husband is such an outstanding man.

I heard that he founded his current company on his own, which is really impressive.”

When it came to Huo Tingxiao’s career, Mu Lan felt that there was truly nothing to complain about; his abilities were outstanding, and his approach to work was swift and decisive, having built his own business empire in just a few years.

Such a successful young entrepreneur stood out not only nationally but also globally.

“Hmm, he worked day and night for the first few years we were married, but it’s been better these last couple of years.”

Yun Meixian held Mu Lan’s hand, looking hopeful as she said:

“Child, you have supported him through these years, and it’s been really hard on you. Men often prioritize their careers and can carelessly neglect their families.

Sometimes they can even be somewhat clueless and lack attention to detail, but a man’s character and sense of responsibility are more important. I hope you two can be happy together.”

Mu Lan looked at Yun Meixian, pursed her lips, and was just about to say something when noise came from the entrance.
