Chapter 45: Different Thoughts
The people below were chatting enthusiastically. The center of the conversation was, without exception, Su Yan, who had just appeared and left. Most of them did not have any good intentions towards Su Yan, so their words naturally belittled her.
If Su Yan was alone, she would just listen and not take it to heart. However, Old Master Yun had just reunited with Su Yan, he could not bear to hear anyone say bad things about Su Yan.
His face turned pale and he was about to flare up when Su Yan stopped him.
Just when Old Master Yun felt that his granddaughter’s temper was a little soft, he heard Su Yan say in a clear voice, “The elders are discussing the younger generation behind their backs. It doesn’t sound like the style of a gentleman.”
They were caught red-handed for speaking ill of others behind their backs. These people naturally felt embarrassed, but after losing face, they felt that Su Yan was a junior. So what if they said it? On the other hand, Su Yan speaking to her elders like this was really rude.
These people turned around and were about to scold Su Yan when they saw Old Master Yun standing beside Su Yan with an unfriendly expression. They were all shocked.
The viciousness on his face had yet to be restrained, but he forced a smile. With both sides overlapping, it really wasn’t considered pretty.
“How is that bad? I just didn’t see you and said a few more words. Don’t think too much.”
“Right, right. Doesn’t this mean that we are close?”
When one of them spoke, the rest of the people echoed after him. In fact, their voices became louder and louder. It was as if as long as their voices were loud enough, it would make sense.
Su Yan did not expose them. She supported Old Master Yun and slowly walked towards the dining table.
Old Master Yun wanted to flare up, but looking at Su Yan, he held it in and waited to see what this little lass had planned.
Since they were introducing Su Yan’s identity, it was unavoidable for the family to gather for a meal. The table was filled with cups and drinks, and their relationship became more cordial.
It was unknown whether these people were doing this on purpose or not, but as they talked to each other, they actually began to isolate Su Yan. No one made things difficult for her, and no one answered her.
Su Yan was not angry. She quietly ate her own food, occasionally picking up two pieces of food that she thought were delicious and placing them in Old Master Yun’s bowl.
“Lass, aren’t you going to say something?” Old Master Yun didn’t quite understand why Su Yan was so calm.
Su Yan merely chuckled and did not respond to Old Master Yun’s question.
After making up her mind to leave yesterday, she arrived at the Yun family home today. Naturally, Su Yan had relied on Shi Qing to investigate the people from the Yun family. The outcome was obvious. She could only find some superficial information.
Through the meal just now, Su Yan saw something different.
For example, Shi Qing’s news had said that Su Yan’s second grandfather’s son had the best relationship with a distant relative. However, when the two of them were pouring wine and flattering each other earlier, they seemed to speak with sincerity, but the way they looked at each other did not look like they were looking at a friend. Instead, when the two of them looked at the other two people who bore grudges against them, there was a tacit understanding in their gazes.
Presumably, the so-called best relationship with the other party was merely a smokescreen to deceive outsiders.
There was also the middle-aged man and his wife who were the first to make things difficult for her. The two of them looked like a harmonious couple and treated each other with respect. However, when they sat together during the meal, they looked at each other with a warning in their eyes. There might be something going on between the two of them.
Su Yan clicked her tongue twice and whispered to Old Master Yun, “Eating here makes me feel like I’m watching a big drama.”
Old Master Yun was amused by her serious tone. With Old Master Yun’s smile, the atmosphere instantly changed. The few people who weren’t as good at keeping up appearances obviously had ugly expressions.
Yun Xuan, the son of her second grandfather, was the first to laugh. He asked in a clear voice, “Uncle, did my niece Xixi say something that made you laugh? I wonder if I have the honor to hear it?”
Old Master Yun shifted his gaze to Su Yan, only to see a half-smile on Su Yan’s face. She said slowly, “This is a private conversation between me and my grandfather. Uncle shouldn’t be interested, right?”
The elegant smile on Yun Xuan’s face fell immediately. He forced a smile. “Oh, is that so? If that’s the case, I won’t ask. I can’t be detestable, right?”
Anyone who heard this would know that Yun Xuan was unhappy, so for the sake of peace and harmony, they would say a few soft words. However, Su Yan acted like a hothead. She even gave Yun Xuan a ‘you know your place’ look, which infuriated Yun Xuan.
However, in front of Old Master Yun, Yun Xuan could only force a smile. He was starting to regret his actions just now. Now, he was embarrassed by a junior.
The scene that followed was much gentler. The people who did not know what was good for them were obviously frightened by Su Yan’s ‘frankness’, so they spoke more politely.
