When Su Yanli saw Gu Tingchen and Mu Lee return at the same time, she was displeased.
"Mu Lee, do you think our family will bully you when you return? and actually brought Gu Tingchen back as well. " Su Yanli's tone was harsh, looking at Gu Tingchen and his lame legs, a trace of impatience appeared on his face.
Mu Lee did not care about her, but pushed Gu Tingchen to the side of the sofa, and picked up an apple from the table to peel.
"Mu Lee, did you not hear what I said to you? Is this how you talk to your elders? "
"Aunt's words are wrong. I didn't speak to Aunt just now, so how could I have a bad attitude?"
Mu Lee did not continue to be patient either. She instead went head on against Su Yanli, as she did not want to be coerced by him again.
"You!" After saying that, Su Yanli stepped forward and raised her arm to hit her, but Gu Tingchen snatched the fruit knife from Mu Lee's hand with lightning speed, and stabbed it into the table made of red zhennan wood. Su Yanli was startled by the blade, and stood there in a daze, "You … What do you want? "
"I actually do want to see what you want to do, Mu Tai." Gu Tingchen looked at Su Yanli with overbearing eyes.
Su Yanli was so scared that her face turned pale.
"What are you doing?" Mu Yu, who had rushed back from work, scolded when he saw this scene.
Su Yanli's face flashed with panic, she walked to Mu Yu, and denounced the villain first: "Father, you have to avenge me, this Mu Lee doesn't put me in his eyes at all, and Gu Tingchen, he actually took our family's fruit knife and wanted to kill me, is this the Gu family's upbringing?"
"Mu Lee and Gu Tingchen aren't people who stir up trouble at all. You were the one who provoked them, that's why they acted like that."
Mu Yu frowned, if it wasn't for their relationship of interests, how could he have allowed this woman to marry into their Mu Family.
"Dad …"
"Go back to your room."
Su Yanli angrily left the living room.
"Is that why you called me back today?" Mu Yu looked at Mu Lee at the side.
Mu Lee actually shook her head, and walked to Mu Yu's side. "Grandfather, you misunderstood me. I originally wanted to come over to see you, but I didn't expect that the moment I came in, my aunt would start to criticize me."
Mu Yu looked at Gu Tingchen who was sitting by the side and eating fruit: "Is what she said true?"
"Indeed, but let me remind you that your daughter-in-law is not someone to be trifled with."
Gu Tingchen didn't smile on the outside, as if he really wanted to give Mu Yu a reminder.
"Thanks for the reminder." Mu Yu had his own conclusion.
"Lordmaster Mu, as far as I know, today's matter happened because your eldest granddaughter suffered some grievances at my brother's place. Isn't it a bit too much for your daughter-in-law to blame all of this on my wife?"
Gu Tingchen used his nose to think about why Su Yanli would do such a thing today.
"What do you mean?" Mu Yu was confused.
Gu Tingchen actually gave a cold laugh, "I believe that my meaning is already very clear."
"Xiao Li, come over." Mu Yu was quiet for a moment, then looked at Mu Lee. For a matter like this, he had to settle it in front of Mu Lee.
Mu Lee had indeed suffered a lot in these past few years, but as the patriarch of the Mu Family, he couldn't help but take the overall situation into consideration.
