Chapter 1292: Chapter 1292: Innocent Bystander Affected
Recently, Jian Dan had been busy with Siyu’s wedding preparations, coming home late and feeling especially exhausted, often falling asleep instantly after taking a shower and getting into bed.
This was tough on Chu Liyuan. This morning, Jian Jian mentioned she would be taking the day off to go to the hospital, and Chu Liyuan initially planned to accompany her. However, an unexpected call from Li Jing forced him to head to the office first.
With the intention of coming home early, Chu Liyuan worked extra hard to finish his tasks ahead of time. Before heading home, he even stopped by a flower shop near the office to buy flowers, hoping to create some romantic ambiance.
But when Chu Liyuan arrived home in high spirits, holding the bouquet of flowers, he didn’t see Jian Jian. Instead, he found a note on the coffee table.
The most frustrating thing for him was the message on the note: "Chu Liyuan, Dan Dan has been abducted by me. Because your Grandpa made me angry, I needed someone to keep me company, to comfort and soothe my wounded heart. So, the real reason for taking Dan Dan away isn’t my fault. If you’re unhappy about it, go find Comrade Chu Zhiyuan! You must be wondering where we have gone and when we will return? Sorry, no comment! Also, please tell Comrade Chu Zhiyuan that he likes solitude, right? Well, now he’s got all the time in the world for it!"
After reading the note, Chu Liyuan could only helplessly facepalm.
Why did it have to be him to bear the brunt when Granny was mad at Grandpa? What had he done to anyone?
Chu Liyuan casually tossed the flowers onto the coffee table and collapsed onto the sofa, covering his handsome face with both hands.
But within less than a minute, Chu Liyuan got up from the sofa and left the house again.
He needed to resolve this situation quickly. Although he hadn’t had a chance to do much lately, at least he could see Jian Jian every day!
But now, not even able to see her, wasn’t this killing him?
He raced back to the old house...
"Grandpa~"
When Chu Liyuan arrived at the old house, Chu Zhiyuan was anxiously pacing around the living room.
"You came at just the right time, I was worried I wouldn’t find someone to help. I haven’t seen Mo Qingqin all day. I thought that she was just angry and would return in the evening, but she hasn’t come back yet. Do you think something might have happened to her? Could she have been kidnapped?" Grandpa rambled on in a frenzied breath.
Chu Liyuan frowned at his Grandpa, who was firing off questions like a machine gun.
"Why are you silent, you rascal? My wife goes missing and you are not even worried?"
"What did you do to make Granny angry this time?" Chu Liyuan asked straight to the point.
"Me? I... I didn’t do anything!" Chu Zhiyuan nervously shifted away from Chu Liyuan’s penetrating gaze.
"You didn’t?"
"Really, I didn’t!" Chu Zhiyuan continued to deny, touching the back of his neck.
"Even now you won’t admit it? Why do you always have to anger Granny? Not only are you causing trouble for yourself, but you’re dragging me into it as well," Chu Liyuan retorted, passing the note Granny left to him.
"What do you mean?" Grandpa took the note from Chu Liyuan with a confused look.
Once he clearly saw the words written on it, he realized he had really messed up this time.
"Chu Liyuan, this really isn’t my fault, it was all Old Shang’s terrible advice. Remember when Granny went on a trip by herself some time ago? I was feeling especially depressed and Old Shang suggested that I should give Mo Qingqin the cold shoulder to make her feel anxious. But how did it end up like this?" Chu Zhiyuan now deeply regretted following Old Shang’s advice.
"Grandpa, do you realize how long it’s been since Mrs. Shang passed away? And you actually believed his words?" Chu Liyuan facepalmed again.
"Now that things have come to this, what do we do?" Chu Zhiyuan asked with urgency.
Chu Liyuan sat down in a nearby chair, hands on forehead, deep in thought about a solution...
