Grandpa Jin who was sitting on a bed found the atmosphere a bit strange. He has caught on to Xie Ming's words and asked her, " Xie Ming, you said that you don't want her to feel repulsive if you called her Grandma. Why did you say this? Did something happen between you two before?"

Jin Liang, who was eating the apples on the plate which was placed on his bedside table looked up when he heard Grandpa's words.

He looked at Grandma Mo and then Xie Ming. Their expressions and the tension between them was indeed strange.

Xie Ming smiled and looked at Mo Xinyue with her raised brows and turned to Old Jin, " Grandpa, I just said this because it has been so long since I met Grandma and we haven't met for a long time. So I just wanted to make sure that she wasn't angry at me. That's why I asked this question and nothing else." she smiled lightly at Grandpa Jin as she said her words.

She met her Mo Xinyue for the first time and she remembered her nasty behavior from Xie Ming's memories. Though she doesn't feel comfortable with her but she just can't pick a fight with her without any reason.

If she starts fighting with her over a past thing then she would seem unreasonable and the one who holds grudges.

She will deal with Mo Xinyue if she tries to mess with her but she isn't interested in doing anything to her without any reason.

Moreover, Grandpa Jin doesn't seem to know anything so she does not want to give him stress over this small matter.

Grandpa Jin nodded at her and asked, " Where is Liwei? How can he send you alone here? He is such a brat who does not know his responsibility ." he started scolding Liwei, realizing that Xie Ming came alone.

Xie Ming smiled helplessly at Grandpa Jin and tried to speak but her every time interrupted her and continued scolding him.

He didn't let her explain the reason why she was alone and that he would come later to visit him.

Mo Xinyue saw the interaction between Old Jin and Xie Ming. Xie Ming sat on the chair beside the bed where she was sitting previously because Old man wanted her to sit beside him.

And she had to sit on the sofa in the corner and sit beside the Jin Liang show while enjoying fruits.

Mo Xinyue side-eyed him and shook her head. ' Is this guy coming to eat or visit his grandfather?'

When Grandpa Jin was busy scolding Jin Liwei, the door of the room slightly opened without a knock and Liwei's head popped in slowly as she looked at the man who was badmouthing him.

" That brat. Let him come, I will not.."

Grandpa Jin choked on his words when he saw Liwei's head popping up from the door. He entered the room so slowly that no one knew when he came in.

His half body was out and half was in as he was eavesdropping on them.

Old Man's face turned crimson as he was caught badmouthing him. He swallowed his saliva and regained his senses and yelled, " What are you doing there? Come in already. Why are you standing there and eavesdropping on us? Is this how a CEO of Jin Corporation should behave?" he tried to cover up his words and wanted to shift his attention from his previous words.

Xie Ming who was looking at Grandpa helplessly, beamed in happiness when she heard his words.

She turned around and saw Liwie standing at the door while holding the fruit basket in his hands.

He smiled at her when he saw her smiling eyes. Her smile is beautiful but she looks more beautiful when she smiles from her eyes.

Liwei walked in and passed the basket to Xie Ming to place on the side table. He looked at the Old man and asked, " What were you saying earlier? Grandpa, how can you scold me like this? I went to the office to handle some important work. It was you who passed the Jin Corporation to me, didn't you? If I ignore the work and come to visit you when you're perfectly fine, you would scold me for being lazy and a slacker. "

" Now you're scolding me for being unfilial. What do you want exactly? " he said these words with wronged expressions on his face.

Xie Ming who was listening to his words giggled because she could see that Liwei was playing with Grandpa Jin.

Grandpa Jin looked at her, chuckling and frowned, " Why are you laughing? Are you on his side as well? Do you think that I was the one who is wrong in this situation? " he shifted the attention to Xie Ming.

Xie Ming who was laughing froze when she heard his question. She was dumbfounded when Grandpa Jin asked her this question.

She didn't even do anything and suddenly everyone started staring at her.

She looked at Grandpa Jin with a wrong expression and asked, " Grandpa, why are you putting the blame on me? I didn't say that I am on his side. In fact, I am the victim here because he left me all alone and I had to come here on his behalf as well to greet you."

" If it wasn't for Brother Liang then I would have been lost in the hospital. Thankfully I found him downstairs so that's how I can come here easily. " Xie Ming said innocently.

Liwie looked at her speechlessly. He was asking for support from her but she accused him more.

' How can she betray me at this moment?'

He looked at Liang who was happily eating the strawberries that he brought and frowned.

Grandpa Jin was about to scold him when Liwei suddenly shouted at Jin Liang, " What are you doing? Did you come here to visit grandpa or eating all his fruits? How can you snatch the food from the patient?"

Jin Liang was startled when Liwei suddenly shouted at him. He was simply eating peacefully and wondered why suddenly everyone started looking at him strangely?

Grandpa Jin frowned how Liwei was dodging his eye contact and shifting the attention to Jin Liang.

But he didn't like the way Jin Liang ate his fruits as well. He ate his favorite strawberries and berries that he wanted to eat badly.

Today he was allowed to eat something light and fruits because from the last 3 days he was on a liquid diet and was eating porridge and drinking juice only.

He wanted to eat some delicious fruits as well but this hungry wolf ate everything.

Jin Liang blinked his eyes as he was accused of wrongly.

He chewed the last strawberry in his mouth and muttered, " I didn't do anything. It was Grandma Mo who asked me to eat these fruits. I didn't want to touch them but had no choice because she insisted on me and forced me to eat them." he innocently shifted all the blame on Mo Xinyue.

Mo Xinyue: " - _-"

' What the hell? When did I say something like this?'

She has no idea why she was being dragged in this discussion. She didn't say anything and just smiled dryly as she was too shocked to say anything.

She never thought that one day she would be accused of something that she didn't even say. She looked at Xie Ming and glared becuase now everyone was behaving like a happy family when her own family was torn.

She lives in horror that her granddaughter's secret would be revealed and then her child will be called illegitimate as well. SHe doesn't want this to happen.

Since that incident, she felt uncomfortable seeing others happy because her life has become stressful and messy.

She hated the way they all interacted and especially how Xie Ming was being treated like a precious and has become the center of attention of all the men in the room.
