Chapter 342: Must Make a Choice
Mu Yunlie’s brows knitted slightly as he spoke to Mu Huaner about something entirely different, "Little aunt, you promised to take good care of Qianyi for me, so why did something like that just happen?"
If it hadn’t been for the little aunt’s repeated assurances that she would take good care of Qianyi and never let her suffer the slightest grievance, he would never have agreed to let Qianyi come alone.
Mu Huaner remained speechless, her mouth opening and closing in dismay.
She glanced at Yan Qianyi and said anxiously, "But... what just happened was out of my control, you know Mrs. Ning’s temper. As Nuannuan’s mother, her distress for her own daughter is understandable."
"And she made quite a scene when I wasn’t around. Later, when I saw what was happening, your grandfather and I were just about to come out and explain things for Qianyi when you suddenly appeared."
Mu Yunlie raised an eyebrow, "Understandable? So little aunt also thinks that we’ve wronged Ning Nuan?"
"That’s not what I meant, Ah Lie, don’t nitpick my words and find faults in what I say; that would hurt me deeply!" Mu Huaner said with a pained expression, "You saw how your grandfather handled Mrs. Ning just now. Even if you hadn’t shown up, the Mu Family would never have allowed Qianyi to be truly mistreated!"
Old Master Mu’s way of handling the situation indeed defused Mu Yunlie’s anger at the time.
Seeing that Mu Yunlie’s stern expression had softened somewhat, Mu Huaner pleaded, "Go back and talk to your grandfather for a bit, it’s been many years since you two have seen each other."
"No, after I take Qianyi back, I still have things to take care of."
