"I knew it. Everything my precious granddaughter does is the best." The old lady's filter was very thick. "I'm not surprised at all that you have such good cooking skills today."
Lu Xuanyi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Thankfully, they weren't discovered.
She's now being held hostage by Yi Qilin. The only thing he's making her do is try her best to please the old lady. If she fails, he'll definitely turn on her without hesitation.
"By the way, you haven't visited your father yet, have you?" the old lady suddenly brought it up again. "Why don't you take some time today to go see him?"
Lu Xuanyi paused for a moment, her face showing difficulty: "But I have amnesia and don't remember anything from before. It would probably be very awkward to meet my father so abruptly! Besides, I heard from Qilin that my relationship with my father was very bad in the early years, so he probably doesn't like me either."
“How could that be! There’s no such thing as a grudge between a father and daughter that lasts overnight.” The old lady said in a tone of someone who had been through it all. “He is already in a very miserable state. If you don’t go to see him, the elders in the clan will definitely gossip and say that you are unfilial. So, I’ll take this opportunity to go with you.”
Lu Xuanyi had absolutely no desire to see any cheap father!
He's not even my real father, isn't that just deliberately trying to annoy people?
But the old lady's argument was so reasonable that she had no room to refuse.
Thinking that she needed to please the old lady to achieve her goal, she gritted her teeth and finally agreed.
When they arrived at Yi Hai's residence, he was lying in bed catching up on sleep.
After moving artifacts all night, he finally emptied the secret room. He was exhausted, feeling like his bones were about to fall apart.
As a result, less than five minutes after I closed my eyes, the doorbell started ringing incessantly.
He tossed and turned, but even covering his ears with a pillow didn't help.
Enraged, he jumped out of bed, his face dark with anger, and strode to the door, snapping impatiently, "Who the hell is disturbing my peace and quiet so early in the morning..."
Before he could finish speaking, Yi Hai was stunned when he saw Old Mrs. Yi outside the door and Yi Tianran supporting her.
The old woman sneered, "Since we've disturbed your peace and quiet, are you leaving now?"
"No, no!" Seeing that the old lady was about to turn around, Yi Hai quickly reached out and grabbed her arm. "Mom, don't go. I didn't know you were coming. I was still asleep in bed and bumped into you. I'm so sorry."
The old lady squinted, staring sharply at him: "What time is it and you're still not awake? Your dark circles are comparable to panda eyes! Tell me, you didn't stay up all night to go thieves, did you?"
That hit the nail on the head.
Yi Hai's eyes darted around nervously, almost thinking the old lady had really guessed it, and he was so scared his legs went weak.
"How could that be!" he denied vehemently. "Mom, you know how terrible my situation is. I haven't been able to sleep at night lately!"
As he spoke, his eyes involuntarily fell on Yi Tianran, his eyes stinging, and he choked up as he said, "Ranran, I'm so glad to hear that you're alive! You have no idea how happy your father is. Knowing that you're doing so well, I believe your mother's spirit in heaven will be comforted."
Lu Xuanyi also learned from Yi Qilin how fake the father-daughter relationship between Yi Hai and Yi Tianran was.
He has a wife and daughter but still has an affair outside, resulting in an illegitimate child. He has never cared about Yi Tianran, and yet he has the nerve to say he's happy?
She almost rolled her eyes.
However, on the surface, she still had to put on a dignified demeanor. "I'm sorry, my memory hasn't fully returned yet, but thank you for your concern, Dad. I feel warm from the bottom of my heart to have relatives who care about me."
Yi Hai had never heard Yi Tianran say a single soft word in his life, and upon hearing this, goosebumps rose all over his body.
If you didn't know she had amnesia, you'd think she was an imposter.
However, amnesia is a good thing, as it gives him an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
Thinking of this, he immediately put on the appearance of a loving father, reached out and held her hands, "Good daughter, I am already satisfied that you can call me Dad. I was sorry for you before, but now that I see you come back to life, I am grateful for the second chance I was given. I will definitely treat you well from now on."
This pair of drama queens put on a fake father-daughter relationship right at the door.
"Ahem..." The old lady coughed lightly after watching for a while. "Since you two have so much to talk about, why don't you go inside first?"
Upon hearing this, the smiles on Yi Hai and Lu Xuanyi's faces froze simultaneously.
They originally planned to exchange a few pleasantries and leave, but they never intended to continue acting!
Yi Hai's eyes were bloodshot, and he even planned to go back to catch up on sleep as soon as they left.
But things didn't go as planned. The old lady's tone was sharp: "What? You're saying you miss your daughter but it's all a lie, or do you want to kick us out?"
Yi Hai was in a difficult situation, but he forced a smile and said, despite feeling dizzy, "How could that be? Mom, Ranran, please come in!"
Lu Xuanyi was also very frustrated.
After entering the house and sitting down, the old lady took a sip of tea and said slowly, "You two haven't seen each other for so many years, you must have so much to talk about! Don't worry about me, keep talking!"
Yi Hai & Lu Xuanyi: "..."
Forced by circumstances, they had no choice but to continue staging a touching father-daughter relationship.
These two acting masters clearly disliked each other, but under the old lady's watchful eye, they had to put on a show.
After talking until her throat was dry and she was exhausted, the old lady leaned back on the sofa, propped her head up with one hand, and actually fell asleep.
"…………"
Two whole hours have passed.
Grandma Yi woke up refreshed and led Lu Xuanyi out of Yi Hai's residence.
Before leaving, he sighed, "Second son! If you had been this patient with Ranran back then, the rift between you and your daughter might have disappeared long ago. Change your ways and be a better person from now on!"
Yi Hai: "..."
It's as if I wasn't human before.
Yi Hai felt incredibly frustrated, but on the surface, he still had to try to please her.
After everyone left, he returned to his room, exhausted. Before he could even get into his room, everything went black, and he collapsed onto the hard floor, falling into a deep sleep.
"Grandma, shouldn't we go home now?" Lu Xuanyi was really tired.
The old lady said, "Why go back? You've come all this way, so of course you should do what you like to do next."
"My favorite thing?" Lu Xuanyi's eyelids twitched, and a bad feeling suddenly welled up in her heart.
The old lady said matter-of-factly, "It's just shopping! Didn't you used to love shopping, going to malls, amusement parks, bungee jumping, and skydiving? The more thrilling the better, have you forgotten all that?"
