The Beautiful Time With You

The person who had just walked in was someone whom everyone in the room recognized. In fact, to Shi Yao, it was a face that was extremely familiar to her. This was because she was the person whom she had never met ever since the unpleasant event in the hotel on Mother's Day—Liang Mumu.

In the moment that Liang Mumu's gaze met Shi Yao's, the expressions on both of their faces stiffened slightly.

However, this only lasted for a short instant before Liang Mumu turned her eyes toward Grandpa Lin and greeted him with a coy voice, "Grandpa Lin!"

Due to Grandpa Lin's hospitalization, no one told him about the unpleasant affair that had happened with Liang Mumu, so he was completely unaware of it. As such, when he heard Liang Mumu's greeting, he responded with an amiable smile, "Mumu, I haven't seen you for quite a while."

"Speaking of which, I just realized that I haven't come to visit Uncle Lin for quite a while too. I was abroad for the last few days and had just returned yesterday. Mumu told me that you are ill and in the hospital, so I quickly rushed over to pay you a visit…" As Liang Huiling spoke, she passed the tonics she had just bought over to Auntie Sun. "… Uncle Lin, how are you feeling? Are you any better now?"

"I'm already starting to feel better." Grandpa Lin discreetly shot Auntie Sun a glance, gesturing for her to clean up the table, before returning to trading pleasantries with Liang Huiling.

Liang Mumu obediently stood by Liang Huiling's side. While the two elders were chatting with one another, she warmly greeted Lin Jiage and Shi Yao, feigning as if nothing had happened between them in the past, and the tone she took was as if the both of them were still close friends, "Brother Jia, long time no see. And Yaoyao, I really miss you to death!"

Lin Jiage had never responded to Liang Mumu's greetings warmly before, and after that incident, he chose to simply ignore her altogether.

On the other hand, however, Shi Yao couldn't afford to be as willful as Lin Jiage. The Lin Family and the Liang Family had always been close, and to the very end, she was nothing more than an outsider. That incident back then might not have necessarily soured the relationship between the two families, so if she were to make things difficult for Liang Mumu here, she could incur Grandpa Lin's disappointment instead.

And that was exactly the kind of sight that Liang Mumu would have loved to see.

So, after hearing Liang Mumu's words, Shi Yao' eyes curled into crescent smiles as she replied, "Mumu, same here. I really missed you too."

Sitting by the side, Lin Jiage keenly watched the scene unfolding before his eyes. He could tell that Soft Bun had her own difficulties and could only play along with Liang Mumu's act.

But while Soft Bun was completely helpless in this situation, he did have his own way of dealing with this.

Thus, right after Liang Mumu received Shi Yao's greeting and was just about to speak once more, Lin Jiage abruptly interjected, "Yaoyao, while I was tutoring your cousin yesterday, I realized that he has quite a few conceptual errors. I'll point them out to you now so that you can correct them when you return home later…"

Without giving Liang Mumu any opportunity to speak at all, he proceeded on to instruct Shi Yao to take out her phone to record down his words before raising the important points one had to take note of for the Math and Science papers.

Hearing the words that Lin Jiage had spoken, Liang Mumu's complexion immediately darkened.

Yaoyao… Has Brother Jia begun to address Shi Yao as Yaoyao?

Furthermore, he actually went to tutor her cousin? Just when did Brother Jia grow so close with Yaoyao that he would even help her cousin with his homework…

While reciting the important points to take note of for the National College Entrance Examination, Lin Jiage discreetly sneaked a peek at Liang Mumu. When he saw the strained smile on her face, he retracted his gaze in satisfaction.

You must be joking with me… Is my woman someone whom anyone can just bully?
