35 Trouble Befalling Even While Staying At Home (1/2)

”Really? I had thought that Young Aunt was so eager to take over the role of the matriarch of the household that you agitated her on purpose,” Yu Yuehan raised his brows and replied in a cold voice, so cold that it was comparable to the chilling winter wind.

He appeared to be simultaneously strict, but not angry, as the words drifted past her ears.

Matriarch Yu was approaching the old age of 70 years old, and she suffered a huge blow because of the illegitimate son who appeared right before Old Master Yu's death.

Her health deteriorated very quickly as a result.

The doctor had made it clear that she needed to recuperate and that she should not be provoked.

That was the reason why Yu Yuehan had not informed her about Xiao Liuliu's car accident.

However, he had not expected that the news would manage to make its way to her!

”I am innocent. Mom, hurry and explain to Yuehan on my behalf. I really did not do it on purpose...” Cheng Xiulu switched out of her glamorous look and turned to seek help from Matriarch Yu.

Tears started to form the moment she spoke.

Matriarch Yu glanced at her for a split second and knitted her brows immediately. ”Okay, the both of you should speak less. Can't you allow my little sweetheart to eat in peace?”

With a wave of her hand, the butler proceeded to add another set of utensils, and she motioned for Chen Xiulu to sit down.

”...” Cheng Xiulu clenched her fists, unhappy that she had been lectured. At the thought of Yu Yuehan's presence in the room, however, she stayed still and dared not burst out in anger.

She sat down slowly.

As she scanned the dining table, she soon set her gaze on Nian Xiaomu, who was sitting beside Xiao Liuliu.

”This is...?” asked Cheng Xiulu, who acted nonchalant as a look of surprise flashed past her eyes.

Despite noticing that Yu Yuehan and Matriarch Yu were both reluctant to answer her question, she continued on, ”I heard that Xiao Liuliu has an extremely professional nurse by her side. She even calls her nurse Pretty Sister and loves her very much. Could she be the one?”

The butler replied her respectfully upon hearing her question, ”Yes, she is the one. Her name is Nian Xiaomu.”
