Chapter 59 The Chance to Be Alone

Yun Lian was not willing to go back just like that. She could only return to the Zhou family’s old residence and plead with Yun Xi for mercy.

“Sister, can you go and tell Old Master Zhou to let me stay here?” Yun Lian asked sincerely. Her face was filled with tears. If others saw her like that, they would give in for sure.

Nonetheless, Yun Xi did not have any compassion for her.

“You were the one who burned the kitchen utensils. How can I go and plead for you?”

Seeing Yun Xi’s unyielding attitude, Yun Lian fell to her knees with a plop.

“Sister, as long as you let Old Master Zhou keep me here, I promise that I won’t disturb you. I won’t take your room, and I’ll just sleep on the sofa. Please let me stay.”

The speech, coupled with a delicate and pitiful expression, made Yun Lian look pitiful indeed.

“Then let her sleep on the sofa. Let her stay!”

Old Master Zhou, who had been resting in the room, spoke.

Thinking that this child was, after all, Brother Yun’s biological granddaughter, he could not be too ruthless. Seeing that the other party was in such a compromising position, Old Master Zhou could not continue to be overbearing.

In actuality, Yun Lian had returned to the Zhou family’s old residence this time with a mission for herself.

After living in this city for the past two days, she had figured out how unreliable Zhou Mo was. If something happened, the man would stand on his mother’s side.

He could not even help her stay now, so how could they have a future together?

Nevertheless, Zhou Mo’s little uncle was different. This man was young and promising. His mother had passed away early, so there would not be any conflicts between a mother-in-law and a daughter-in-law. There would also not be any conflicts between him and his eldest brother.

Moreover, Zhou Lin seemed to be a very decent and easy-going person. He was also very responsible in handling matters. Old Master Zhou and Yun Lian’s grandfather were comrades-in-arms who were as close as brothers. She and Yun Xi were both Old Master Yun’s granddaughters. Would it not make a difference who Zhou Lin would marry?

Therefore, although Yun Lian said that she would not disturb Yun Xi and Zhou Lin, she was actually here to separate them and seduce Zhou Lin herself.

Of course, she would only keep such thoughts in her heart and would not dare to say them out loud.

“Grandpa Zhou, I feel very guilty for burning down your kitchen last time. What can I do to make up for it?”

As soon as Yun Lian entered the Zhou family’s main hall, she began to pretend to be very guilty.

“Hehe, as long as you don’t do anything, you would’ve made up for it.”

Old Master Zhou had only let Yun Lian stay because of Old Master Yun. He did not like this girl very much.

He always felt that this girl was too shrewd. Even though she looked 80-90% similar to Yun Xi, the feeling she gave people was completely different.

Yun Xi gave people the feeling of being bathed in the warmth of the spring breeze. She looked like an amiable child next door. On the other hand, Yun Lian gave people the feeling of a shrewd person who was especially calculative, making people feel that she was not friendly at all as if she always wanted to gain something from others.

Old Master Zhou had also been through a lot of hardships for most of his life, so his judgment of people was very accurate. When he chose his granddaughter-in-law for his grandson, it was according to the birth order of the two sisters, but now, he chose Yun Xi to be his daughter-in-law due to her character.

Yun Lian heard the meaning behind Old Master Zhou’s words and knew that this old man did not like her. She sneered internally but looked sincere on the surface.

“Grandpa Zhou, please don’t say that. I feel very guilty, so I thought of doing my best to make it up to you.

“Why don’t I clean up?! I often clean up at home. Don’t worry, I won’t make such a mistake again.”

As she spoke, she glanced at Yun Xi, hoping that she could prove herself.

“Why don’t I start cleaning Little Uncle’s study? I’ll definitely make the study look brand new from the inside out.” “There’s no need for that. I don’t like outsiders entering my study.”

Zhou Lin hurriedly stopped Yun Lian from doing what she was about to do.

At this moment, Old Master Zhou turned around, and the corners of his mouth curled into an imperceptible smile. He had been in this house the entire time and did not say anything. However, he had been paying attention to every move between his son and his future daughter-in-law.
