Chapter 225 - Youre Fired! (1/2)

Zhang Yu Han heaved a sigh of relief when he saw his wife's silhouette. Steadily, he stepped towards the stairs and waited for her as she reached the bottom.

Of course, his movement was noticed by Li Ren Xin. The elderly nodded to his granddaughter and motioned her to go downstairs. Then, he turned to Li Mu Chen with an angry look on his face. ”You, come with me to the office.”

”Grandfather!” Li Mu Chen wanted to plead, but upon meeting her grandfather's gaze, the words she wanted to say got stuck in her throat.

Li Mu Chen shot an angry look at Li Qin Yao as she watched her cousin walked down the stairs. She could not understand why someone as excellent as Zhang Yu Han would take interest in someone as plain as her cousin.

Angrily, Li Mu Chen stomped her feet as she climbed up the stairs. Her hand tightened into a fist. There was a malicious glint in her eyes as she imagined pushing her cousin down the stairs.

”Hurry up!”

Her grandfather's bellowing snapped her out of her thought. Li Mu Chen tore her gaze away and walked over to her grandfather, but soon, her gaze paused on the bespectacled man beside her grandfather.

It felt as if she had seen this man before.

Sensing her grandfather's angry stare, Li Mu Chen hurriedly went after her grandfather.

Mu Ling Xi had come out from the kitchen with a puzzled look on her face when she heard her husband's angry voice. She accessed the situation for a while and immediately guessed at what had happened.

It was not the first time that her husband had raised his voice to their grandchildren. But after being married to her husband for years, Mu Ling Xi knew that her husband would not get angry without reason. Seeing the look on his face, Mu Ling Xi decided not to intervene and instead, turned to their guest, Zhang Yu Han.

Meanwhile, Liang Sheng immediately excused himself and bid everyone goodbye.

Mu Ling Xi gave an awkward smile to Zhang Yu Han and apologized for the unexpected event. ”Come on, let's go to the dining room,” she said to both Zhang Yu Han and Li Qin Yao. ”The dishes are almost done. Your grandfather will join us later when he is done.”

”Un, I know,” Li Qin Yao nodded. ”We'll be right there shortly.”

Mu Ling Xi cast another glance at the young couple before she returned to the kitchen.

When her grandmother had left, Li Qin Yao went over to Zhang Yu Han's side and held both his hand. She tilted her head up to look at his face and asked, ”Are you alright?”

The look on Zhang Yu Han's face at the moment was as if he was complaining to his wife for leaving him for too long that he had to face someone like Li Mu Chen.

Zhang Yu Han nodded before he let out a long sigh. Now that he was holding his wife's hand again, he felt more at ease. It felt as if a heavy burden was lifted his shoulder when he could hold her again.

Earlier, when he saw Li Mu Chen stepped into the room, Zhang Yu Han was suddenly repulsed by her presence.

Zhang Yu Han was not someone who would be disgusted with a random woman's presence without reason. However, it would be a different story towards someone who had a bad intention. Moreover, with Li Mu Chen, she had tried to harm his wife in his presence more than once.
