Chapter 445: Chapter 446: Treating Grandpa Chu (Part 2)
Chu Huan was truly furious; has Tingyan gone mad, and are the Li Family people insane too?
If she wasnât afraid of tarnishing her image, Chu Huan really wanted to confront them regardless.
"Xiao Qi, donât say nonsense; all fruits taste the same!" Shang Wan quickly spoke up, glancing at Chu Huan.
"Xiao Huan, donât overthink it, your fruits are delicious too, we just ate too much earlier..."
Chu Huan wasnât foolish; how could she not notice the forced expressions on the Li Familyâs faces? It pained her deeply.
The man she had set her eyes on was snatched by Nianyang, and the Li Familyâs hearts were caught by Nianyang too; she was left with nothing.
Chu Huan had high emotional and intellectual intelligence; otherwise, she wouldnât have been so favored in the Chu Family over the years.
She was skilled at pretending; no matter how unhappy she was inside, sheâd never show it, and instead she smiled and said,
"Just leave it here, you can eat it tomorrow. Fruits can last over a week in winter anyway!"
Seeing Chu Huan wasnât upset, Shang Wan was relieved; thank goodness Xiao Huan was sensible, or she wouldnât know how to end this.
But recalling her promise to Chu Huan to unite her with Li Tingyan, now with Nianyang in the picture, Chu Huan hadnât thrown a fit and even came over with fruits; Shang Wan felt guilty.
She kept feeling particularly sorry for Chu Huan, wondering how to make amends.
Chu Huan looked at Nianyang and said, "Hello, I heard them call you Nianyang, so Iâll call you Nianyang too."
Nianyang nodded without speaking; earlier this afternoon, Chu Huan looked like she wanted to kill her.
How did she suddenly become so friendly now?
Clearly suspicious!
"Nianyang, I want to apologize to you."
Chu Huan appeared earnest,
"This afternoon, I got a bit emotional and said some rude things; I hope you donât mind, I was just too upset..."
Nianyang didnât want to feign politeness, she just nodded slightly and said she didnât mind.
Li Xinya interjected, "Whatâs with your attitude? Youâre the one who took Sister Huanâs man, you should be apologizing to her, yet you act so superior!"
Li Tingyan tossed a chopstick straight towards Li Xinyaâs head,
"Say that once more, my patience has limits!"
Li Xinya was startled; her eyes immediately turned red. Why was she so unlucky? She was the only one hurt all night.
Chu Huan quickly said,
"Tingyan, donât be angry; Yaya is your sister, how can you hit her over someone else?
Besides, Yaya has always spoken so directly, didnât you used to praise her for being innocent and straightforward in front of my brother?"
Nianyang raised an eyebrow, this Chu Huan was quite cunning; the words sounded normal on the surface.
But they carried two meanings: the first subtly sowed discord with Li Xinya, making her feel bullied by her brother for someone else, leading to her hating Nianyang more.
The second implied by mentioning the past, creating an impression that she had spent considerable private time with Li Tingyan; if Nianyang was petty, she would surely get jealous, causing trouble with Li Tingyan.
Nianyang understood, as did Li Tingyan; his brow furrowed tightly, glaring at Chu Huan in disgust,
"We were having a good family meal, why do you, an outsider, come here and make a fuss? How I discipline my sister is none of your business. If you hadnât come, none of this would have happened!"
