Chapter 139

Uncle Yu had a flattering smile on his face. He stretched out his hand to hold Liu Yan's waist, but fearing to offend her, he held Liu Yan's hand instead.

Liu Yan frowned, brushed it away gently, and said something in a low voice.

Uncle Yu immediately looked happy and walked in front to lead Liu Yan.

Liu Yan was wearing a pink cheongsam today, which showed off her curvy figure. She didn't look like a woman over fifty at all.

However, the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month is a day for families to get together.

Don't you think it's inappropriate for Liu Yan to come to Yu's house dressed so flashily?

Uncle Yu led people into the restaurant, called out "brother" and "sister-in-law", then looked at the old man and called him "dad" in a flattering manner.

Mr. Yu slammed his chopsticks on the table and said in a cold and stern voice, "Today is a family dinner, so it's not convenient to receive guests."

Liu Yan's smile froze and she looked at Uncle Yu awkwardly and helplessly.

Uncle Yu was usually very stern in front of his old man, but in the face of Liu Yan's gentle and dependent gaze, his machismo swelled, and the beauty made him dizzy, and he changed his usual way of retorting.

"Dad, this is my distinguished guest, how could you do this?"

As he spoke, he pulled out a chair, and with a smile on his face, he pushed Liu Yan to sit down, and coaxed her, "It's okay, it's okay, don't be sad. When I see you sad, I feel bad too."

Everyone present: "..."

Old Master Yu couldn't stand his second son's playboyish behavior, so he sneered and said, "Get out of here too."

Uncle Yu had heard these words countless times since he was a child, so this time he naturally just let it go in one ear and out the other, not taking it seriously.

"Dad, in my heart, Yanyan is like my own family. She is alone now, with no family or friends around her. How pitiful. I wanted to bring her here during the Chinese New Year, but Yanyan said it was not a good idea because she was afraid it would affect the relationships in my family. Please be more considerate."

"If you want to blame someone, blame me. She didn't plan to come, but I insisted that she come. It's just a meal. Dad, you are so old-fashioned."

Old Master Yu has lived all the way from that era to the present, and has seen all kinds of storms and people. Hearing his second son say this, he laughed angrily, "Are you stupid?"

Nan Tao almost couldn't help laughing out loud.

[Hahaha, my own father’s complaints are the most deadly.]

[My second uncle is really stupid, otherwise he wouldn't cheat on his wife.]

[You are really stupid to believe someone like Liu Yan.]

[I don't know what Liu Yan is planning. She shouldn't be so impatient. I always feel like something is wrong.]

Uncle Yu yelled, "Dad, how can you say that to me in front of others? Do I still have any dignity left?"

Mr. Yu simply couldn't bear to watch it, so he closed his eyes. Out of sight, out of mind.

Yu's mother said, "Dad, let him stay. Since I brought him home, maybe good things will happen soon."

Uncle Yu smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, don't say that. I haven't caught that person yet." After saying that, he looked at Liu Yan foolishly.

Liu Yan was so angry that she almost died, but she didn't dare to deny it. She lowered her head in grievance and said nothing.

Uncle Yu coaxed, "Don't worry, sister-in-law is the most important person in the family, if she says yes, then it's fine, Dad, don't you think so?"

Old Master Yu ignored Uncle Yu and asked the housekeeper to tell the kitchen to serve the food.

During the meal, Uncle Yu was busy and attentive, helping Liu Yan with dishes and serving soup.

Liu Yan still looked aloof, and occasionally smiled, which made Uncle Yu feel agitated.

Nan Tao thought it was amazing that her grandfather was not angered to death by Uncle Yu.

[I used to think that my second uncle was a playboy and irresponsible person, but I didn't expect that he wasn't very smart either.]

[Liu Yan was lifting her hair, tilting her face, and trying her best to seduce her father-in-law. Is the second uncle blind? No wonder he is always cuckolded.]

After hearing this, Yu Xue couldn't help but spit out the wine soup that had just entered her mouth.

Nan Tao was puzzled: "What's wrong with you?"

As he spoke, he handed the tissue to Yu Xue.

Yu Xue: "Ahem... It's nothing. I just drank too fast and it choked my throat."

Nan Tao: "Drink slowly."

After finishing his meal, Mr. Yu went upstairs to rest as usual.

Without the old man around, the overall atmosphere became much more relaxed.

Uncle Yu talked to Liu Yan in various ways, just like a young boy pursuing his lover.

Liu Yan has always been aloof and indifferent.

Uncle Yu never gets tired of this and enjoys it.

Liu Yan looked straight at Yu's father, and I felt pity for her, with a hint of grievance in her eyes.

Uncle Yu was heartbroken. "My brother is just like my dad. He is a wooden stake, exuding coldness. He is not likable at all. Look at what he does. Don't scare you."

Liu Yan shook her head and whispered, "I'm not afraid."

Nan Tao gasped.

【How disgusting.】

[At such an advanced age, he is still so pretentious. 】

Yu Zhengyang frowned, "What's wrong? Did you eat something bad?"

Nan Tao waved her hands, "It's nothing, I just suddenly felt nauseous."

Liu Yan asked with concern: "Could she be pregnant?"

Nan Tao was so frightened that her pupils trembled, and she quickly clarified this huge misunderstanding.

Liu Yan pretended to be sad and scared, "Did I say something wrong and make you unhappy?"

Nan Tao: “???”

Uncle Yu immediately rushed to the rescue, but he had just opened his mouth to say one word when he shut up in fear at the death look from his eldest nephew.

Liu Yan was so upset that she stood up and pretended to leave. "I've finished my meal. I won't disturb you all. I'm leaving now."

Nan Tao rolled her eyes.

[If you think it's a nuisance, why do you still come to eat at someone else's house? ]

【Isn't this a contradiction?】

[Looks cool, but so green tea. 】

【You can leave whenever you want, as if someone will keep you here. 】

Uncle Yu shouted to keep them, "No!"

Nan Tao: “…”

Yu Xue tried hard to suppress the smile on her lips.

Liu Yan's eyes were red, and her voice was weak and pitiful, "Why?"

Uncle Yu: "You are the guest I brought home. How can you just eat a meal and leave? Stay here tonight."

A gleam of joy flashed across Liu Yan's eyes, but quickly disappeared.

"I am just an outsider. How can this be possible? Just let me go."

Uncle Yu was visibly anxious and grabbed Liu Yan's arm. "If I say it's possible, then it's possible. Who dares to let you go?"

Liu Yan: "I know you mean well, you come to see me out of pity, but..."

As he spoke, he tried to push Uncle Yu's hand away, but he couldn't move it budge. It was like an ant trying to shake a tree, his effort was in vain.

Second Uncle Yu turned to look at Mother Yu, "Sister-in-law, Yanyan is your childhood friend. She is now alone and has no relatives. It's not too much to let her stay at home for one night. Besides, today is the Lantern Festival. There are so many empty rooms at home. It's not like there is no room for her."

Yu's mother was speechless.

Father Yu frowned: "How do you talk?"

Second Uncle Yu had been beaten by Yu's father since he was a child. When he saw Yu's father, he was like a mouse seeing a cat. He was extremely frightened, even more afraid of him than his grandfather, and he immediately apologized and admitted his mistake.

But she still felt unwilling to give in, and she said in a low voice with grievance, "Can't you let Yanyan stay here? Otherwise, I won't live at home either."

Liu Yan became anxious.

How can this be possible?

What an idiot!

Liu Yan grabbed Uncle Yu's hand and said, "Stop arguing over me. I'm leaving."

Mother Yu said with a smile, "Little brother, why are you so anxious? I haven't even said anything yet and you're already making a fuss. Do you like smoking so much?"

Second Uncle Yu: "Sister-in-law, stop teasing me. I haven't caught her yet."

Mother Yu looked at Liu Yan and said, "Stay. It's not easy for you either."

Liu Yan secretly hated Yu's mother for being so high and mighty. She smiled slightly and said, "If it's troublesome..."

Uncle Yu said quickly, "It's no trouble, no trouble. As long as my sister-in-law agrees, my father will definitely not say anything. You can stay here tonight without any worries."

Nan Tao frowned.

[What is Liu Yan'an thinking? Why does she insist on staying?]

[It is obvious that Second Uncle has been fooled. ]

【Why did the mother-in-law agree? 】

[No, I have to keep an eye on them today.]

Yu Xue's eyes sparkled, and she was a little excited and a little excited.

In the afternoon, Liu Yan seemed to do nothing. She just quietly looked at the flowers in the greenhouse, giving people a calm and peaceful feeling.

But in reality, is it really so?

After dinner, Nan Tao did not stop following and finally found the cat.

"Sister-in-law, where are you going?" Yu Xue hurriedly followed Nan Tao.

Nan Tao gestured with her hands, "Shut up, keep your voice down, don't let them hear you."

Yu Xue pricked up her ears, "Who, where?"

Nan Tao pointed to the kitchen and heard faint voices talking from inside.

Yu Xue was so excited, "Is it...?"

Nan Tao quickly pulled Yu Xue behind him, and the two of them hid in the storage room. They secretly opened the door a crack, so that they could just see the scene in the kitchen from inside.

Liu Yan seemed to have gone downstairs to the kitchen to get some water to drink. She was wearing very cool clothes.

Uncle Yu's eyes were glued to Liu Yan. "Yan Yan, aren't you cold wearing so little at this late hour?"

Liu Yan shook her head, revealing her slender neck. "I'll pour myself a glass of water and be back soon. I'm fine."

Uncle Yu took off his coat and covered Liu Yan with it, "What if she gets sick?"

Liu Yan smiled softly, "You are so good to me, I don't know how to repay you."

Uncle Yu approached Liu Yan and said, "I don't ask for anything, I just hope you can give me a chance."

Liu Yan closed her eyes, as if she had made up her mind. After opening her eyes again, she said, "You know I like Brother Yu."

Second Uncle Yu: "Don't even think about it. My brother only loves my sister-in-law. No other woman is in his eyes."

Liu Yan: “…”

After hearing this, Nan Tao and Yu Xue almost burst out laughing.

My second uncle spoke too loudly, as if he was afraid that others couldn't hear him.

Liu Yan gritted her teeth and said, "I want to give myself one last chance. If I am rejected again, I will have no regrets. This way I can be with you willingly. Are you willing to help me?"

Uncle Yu was delighted. "Really? Tell me, what do you want me to do?"

Liu Yan whispered in Uncle Yu's ear.

Nan Tao and Yu Xue were so anxious that they didn't hear anything.

After a while, Liu Yan entered the guest room on the first floor and Uncle Yu went upstairs.

Nan Tao and Yu Xue walked out of the storage room and looked at each other.

Nan Tao: "Is it possible that Mom and Dad are still awake at this hour?"

Yu Xue: "Let's go up."

Unexpectedly, as soon as I went upstairs, I ran into Uncle Yu talking to Father Yu.

When Uncle Yu saw his niece and niece-in-law going upstairs, he immediately pulled Father Yu away and muttered something in a low voice.

By the time Nan Tao and Yu Xue went upstairs, Uncle Yu had already left.

Yu Xue hurriedly pulled her father's arm, "Dad, what did your second uncle say to you?"

Father Yu: “Nothing.”

Yu Xue stamped her feet: "How can it be nothing?"

Nan Tao was worried that Father Yu had been fooled, so she told him what she had just seen in the kitchen and said worriedly, "Dad, don't be fooled."

Father Yu was speechless, his expression was indifferent, "Do I look stupid?"

Nan Tao complained in her heart.

[Very smart, but he was also fooled by Liu Yan, a green tea. ]

Father Yu: “…”

Mother Yu opened the door, walked out with a smile, and comforted the two children, "You should go to bed early. I'll take care of your father."
