Chapter 1686: Chapter 1686: Grandmother is Calling You

He stood up unconsciously, looking at Old Madam Luo’s face, which was full of smiles.

"Mother, why did you come so late?"

As if not noticing the odd looks from everyone else, Luo Mianyi saw Old Madam Luo arrive, immediately put Yue Tianhao down to the ground, and led him by the hand to Old Madam Luo’s side.

"Mianyi, a child should indeed be favored, but not in such a manner,"

Old Madam Luo’s cold gaze swept over Yue Tianhao, who was being led by her hand, and she warned her daughter.

"Moreover, if the bowl of water isn’t held level, remember, it can spill out. Don’t wet your own hands just because of a little discomfort!"

Her voice was very low, speaking just loud enough for the two of them to hear.

Upon hearing this, the smile at the corner of Luo Mianyi’s mouth stiffened.

It was only then that she noticed her brother, Lin Chushui, standing beside their mother, and she gripped Yue Tianhao’s hand even tighter.

"Ah!"

Yue Tianhao cried out in pain, attracting sideways glances from nearby people.

"What happened?"

"Third Young Master Yue, are you alright?"

"Mother..."

"It’s nothing, nothing. The child is just excited to see his brother for the first time," said Luo Mianyi, interrupting Yue Tianhao before he could speak.

How could she let her son speak out of turn at such a time? She had already been reprimanded by her mother. Saying anything more might just drive her mother further away from her.

"Chushui, look at your mother, so preoccupied with your younger brother. You won’t blame your mother, will you?"

She looked at Lin Chushui and asked.

"It’s fine, Mother can continue to take care of the younger brother. Chushui has grown up and doesn’t need to be looked after anymore," Lin Chushui said indifferently, looking at Luo Mianyi.

If he hadn’t realized his Second Aunt’s evident hostility at this point, he would be very foolish indeed!

No wonder, back in Ya Village, although Luo Mianyi insisted on him leaving with her, her mouth was sincerely upsetting Sister Sangsang, almost as if she couldn’t wait for Sister Sangsang to say he shouldn’t return with his parents to the Illusion Continent.

Perhaps that was what Luo Mianyi had hoped for all along?

"Er, this..."

In her entire life, Luo Mianyi had never felt as embarrassed as she did at that moment.

Lin Chushui wasn’t very old, just twelve, and here she was, his mother, who hadn’t taken good care of him, and yet he said he didn’t need looking after. Wasn’t that a direct slap in her face?

"Chushui, you..."

"Luo Family sister, come, bring Chushui here to sit."

Just as Yue Chong approached his son, wanting to offer some explanation, he heard an all too familiar voice rising from behind him.

His back stiffened, and cold sweat almost began to drip from his forehead.

"Chushui, your grandmother is calling you. Let’s go over there and sit together, and later your maternal grandmother will introduce you to the people of Jubilant Wind Hall in detail," Old Madam Luo said, as if she hadn’t seen her son-in-law at all, walked past him with Lin Chushui, and sat down beside Old Madam Yue.

The hand Yue Chong kept hidden in his sleeve tightened unconsciously.

He knew that forgetting his son was a mistake, but as the boy’s father, Lin Chushui shouldn’t have been so confrontational with him, especially not in front of so many people.

Wasn’t this publicly embarrassing him?

Taking a deep breath, he turned around without paying any attention to Luo Mianyi or Yue Tianhao and went back to his own seat.
