Chapter 1157 - The Past Stays In The Past (1)

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The conflict between Xi Mushan, Shen Wenna, and Yue Lingsi had been around for the past few decades, and there was still no resolution until today.

Xi Xiaye knew very well that even though her parents were doing well right now, they would still feel uncomfortable whenever Yue Lingshi’s name was mentioned. Meanwhile, Yue Lingshi kept finding excuses for Xi Xinyi to visit Xi Mushan as well.

Xi Mushan had mentioned it the last time she visited them at school.

Xi Xiaye nodded. It was their affair after all, so it did not feel right for Mu Yuchen to say something about it. “Alright, don’t worry. I guess they can understand. I suppose Grandpa isn’t feeling that great about what happened to Grandmother. They are probably heading back to France right now. Make the arrangements and let them rest for a few days before coming back.”

“You don’t have to worry about that.” He wrapped his arm around her shoulders, and she rested her head on it.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“I think that guys can be really cruel and scary sometimes. Han Yifeng never contacted Xi Xinyi ever since he left, but she’s still his child’s mother no matter what...I can understand what Xi Xinyi is feeling.”

“That’s Han Yifeng. If he could do that to you, it’s no surprise that he could do it to Xi Xinyi too. You should be glad that you left him early, or else, you’ll surely be cheated by men like him dozens of times over.”

Master Mu was mean and sharp when he talked about Han Yifeng. He was still unhappy with Han Yifeng no matter how much time passed because he was still Xi Xiaye’s first love, and there was no way he could change that!

1Xi Xiaye pursed her lips and smiled helplessly. “It’s been so long already. You really have to get over it! If I were to meet you first, I’d have fallen head over heels for you!”

“That’s more like it. Quite a number of ladies pursued me. If you had done that, we would’ve been married for ten years already.”

“Ten years? I was still a student ten years ago!”

“We could’ve gotten married when you were still studying too...”

“I wasn’t at the legal age yet...”

“An engagement...”

The smile on Xi Xiaye’s face grew wider. “I think it’d be great if we were actually childhood friends...”

“We can’t, but maybe our sons...”

When he gave her a long, meaningful glance, Xi Xiaye was instantly reminded of Su Chen and Ji Zitong. “We’ll have to wait for Su Chen or Zimo’s children then.”

...

They returned to the Mu residence for dinner. Mu Tangchuang and Zhuang Shurong were there as well.

Ah Mo and Lingshi had been staying over at the Mu residence lately since everyone was pretty worried for Mu Lingshi to stay alone since she was pregnant. Besides that, Mu Lingshi was worried about Mu Yinan after Wang Hui passed away, so she just moved back for now.

Mu Tangchuan and Zhuang Shurong usually left the house early in the morning and would only come back home late at night, so there were hardly any people at home during the day. The house only became slightly livelier ever since Mu Lingshi moved back.

After dinner, Mu Tangchuan summoned Mu Yuchen and Ah Mo over. Zhuang Shurong was inside the study room as well. It was obvious what they were going to discuss.

Only Xi Xiaye, Mu Yinan, and naughty little Mu Xiaocheng were left on the large sofa in the living room.

Xi Xiaye brewed a cup of flower tea and handed it to Mu Yinan. “Grandfather, have this. I’ll bring more over soon. Tell the servants to prepare some for you every day since it’s good for your health.”

Wang Hui always made this for Mu Yinan when she had still been alive.

Mu Yinan knew what Xi Xiaye was trying to do. He took a sip from the tea and turned towards Mu XiaoVheng who was having fun on his own. He then held Mu Xiaocheng in his arms.

“Just bring this little guy over to visit me as much as possible. I’m just getting old. There’s nothing to worry about when it comes to me. Just focus on your priorities. I’m still healthy, and I guess I can still hang on for a few more years.”

“Please don’t say something like that. If you’re healthy and maintain a positive attitude, I’m sure you’ll live long. You might even get to see Xiao Rui and Xiao Cheng get married!”

“Watch them get married?” Mu Yinan laughed as he touched Mu Xiaocheng’s little hands. “I’d be an ancient monster by then, wouldn’t I? My little sweetheart...”

“You siblings should always be united. Make the younger generation understand the importance of being together as a family. Talk it out if there are problems. Don’t be like your aunt or Lingtian...”

It was Mu Yinan’s first time mentioning Mu Zi and Mu Lingtian ever since Wang Hui had left. Xi Xiaye felt a little awkward. She saw Mu Xiaocheng cheekily scratching Mu Yinan’s face and she quickly held the little guy in her arms.

“Your grandmother and I are partly responsible for what happened. We didn’t communicate enough with your aunt as her parents, and with the increased tension between the Mu family and the Gu family, of course, we didn’t want her to be in contact with anyone from the Gu family, but sometimes things just don’t turn out the way you want.”

“It’s not like I’m trying to find fault. I just hope you can all remember this lesson. Both Xiao Rui and Xiao Cheng are great children, and your job is to educate them and make sure to not let Lingtian’s incident repeat in the future. It’s been tough for Ah Chen over the years. Please be good to him, Xiaye. He’s beginning to soften ever since he got married.”

Mu Yinan somehow knew about things between Mu Yuchen and Mu Lingtian.

“Don’t worry, Grandfather. Xiao Rui and Xiao Cheng won’t become like that. Just look at how great Ah Mo and Ah Chen are doing...”
