Chapter 195: The True Colors Of Third Young Master Ye (II)

Chu Wuyou was reluctant to answer the phone. The melody of the ringtone filled the space.

Ye Lanchen declined to comment. He only waited patiently in silence.

She heaved a heavy sigh and finally pressed down on the accept button.

She feared that her Grandpa would begin to worry if she really refused to answer.

“Grandpa.” Her voice that was laced with careful concern was several octaves lower than usual. She had already prepared herself mentally to be bombarded by the old man.

“Ah, Wuyou.” Elder Chu’s voice was calm like usual.

“Yup.” The calmness in his voice caught her by surprise. Was it possible that he still had not figured it out? Or was this the calm before the storm?

“Do you remember Aunt Qin?” The old man’s voice remained gentle.

“Aunt Qin? Who?” Chu Wuyou could not think properly for a second. Why bring up a random aunt at a time like this? Aunt Qin?

“Your mother’s friend. Don’t you remember her anymore?” Elder Chu was stunned for a couple of seconds and he wondered if he should continue speaking.

“Oh, right, I remember Aunt Qin. What about her?” She appeared evidently relieved and sounded more natural now.

She remembered Aunt Qin but the latter had not been particularly friendly with her mother. However, that woman claimed that she was a close friend of Chu Wuyou’s mother ever since the girl reconnected with the Chu family. That woman had taken advantage of the Chu family numerous times through the years.

However, Aunt Qin had not been in contact with them in recent years. Why would Grandpa mention her name out of the blue?

“Aunt Qin said that she’s going to visit Jin City in the next couple of days. She wishes to meet you to tell you more about your mother. Do you accept her invitation?” Elder Chu was evidently respectful of his granddaughter’s choice.

“About mom?” She frowned instinctively. What would Aunt Qin know about her mother?

Was the other person trying to take advantage of the Chu Family again? Or did she really know something important?

After all, Chu Wuyou could not shake off the feeling that there was something fishy regarding her mother’s death. Therefore, she was extremely sensitive when this particular topic was mentioned.

“Yes, that’s what she said. But I think there’s a possibility that she might not be telling the truth. You decide for yourself if you want to meet her.” Elder Chu truly cared and respected Chu Wuyou.

“Okay. I’ll meet up with her when she arrives.” She decided to meet the woman eventually, just in case.

“Grandpa still doesn’t know!” Chu Wuyou turned to Ye Lanchen after ending the call. She appeared dazed. It seemed that Elder Chu had not yet learned about the incident. However, Chu Wuyou did not relax and her voice was still laced with concern.

She worried that Elder Chu would learn about it some time soon.

Perhaps the latter had not received the news yet since it had just happened. In spite of that, she knew that the rumor would be delivered to his ears sooner or later.

“Don’t worry too much.” Ye Lanchen turned to her and replied gently. A soft smile washed over his face.

“OK.” She felt slightly comforted upon hearing his words. He meant that he was going to take care of it thus there was no need for her to be concerned.

Although he could be a little two-faced at times, he was extremely reliable in a crucial moment like this. Given his capabilities, there was no doubt the matter would be covered up if he set his mind to it. At least it would not be difficult to keep it a secret from Elder Chu. A feeling of relief finally washed over her.

Ye Lanchen shifted his attention back at her, the corners of lips twitching upward gradually. A couple of seconds later, he added, “Elder Chu is neither deaf nor blind. He will surely learn about it.”
