Chapter 452: Unexpected Harvest
Moments later, Mu Ziqing appeared at the door.
"Big sister, what are you doing here?" Yan Qianyi was surprised, not expecting the person hiding outside the door to be Mu Ziqing.
Mu Ziqing’s hands were clasped together, appearing somewhat uneasy.
"I came to thank you for speaking up for me in front of Grandpa just now, but when I saw you talking, I felt too embarrassed to interrupt. I really didn’t mean to eavesdrop. I was about to leave when Ah Lie called out to me."
After saying this, Mu Ziqing timidly looked towards Mu Yunlie.
In her memory, the young Ah Lie, although not a big talker, always had a bright smile on his face.
More than a decade later, upon seeing Ah Lie again, it was as if he was a completely different person, so cold, especially those eyes that one dared not meet directly.
Yan Qianyi said, "It’s okay, no need to thank me. I simply told the truth in front of Grandpa."
She could tell that Mu Ziqing was probably often bullied by Mu Zixuan and didn’t dare to speak out.
"What did you overhear just now outside?" Mu Yunlie’s eyes lifted to Mu Ziqing.
His voice was cold, his gaze sharp, frightening Mu Ziqing into taking a step backward, "Ah Lie, don’t... don’t look at me like that, I really didn’t mean to listen to your conversation."
Yan Qianyi stepped forward, "Don’t be afraid, big sister. Ah Lie is always like this, he doesn’t mean anything by it."
