Meng Yueying rubbed her throbbing temples. “Okay, I got it. Go back and keep an eye on the Old Master. Let me know if anything happens.”
After the butler left, Meng Yueying, who didn’t know how else to look after him and how to make the Old Master stop doing anything wrong, had a headache.
Huo Yuqi, who had heard everything from outside the door, said as she walked in, “Mom, it’s not that I want to say this, but you and Eldest Aunt are too foolishly filial. That’s why my grandfather ended up like this. He’s probably still thinking that no matter what he does, he’s still your biological father. You can’t just watch him die. That’s why even though he’s already fallen this low, he still doesn’t regret it and still wants to kill Cousin-in-law.”
Meng Yueying did not expect her to come back and even hear about this. Her head hurt even more. “When did you come back? Why didn’t you tell me you were coming back!”
She added, “Don’t tell anyone about this! Pretend you didn’t hear it!”
“Why are you asking me to pretend not to hear? Also, are you just going to watch Grandpa do something wrong again?” Huo Yuqi had matured quite a bit over the past three years.
“I’m not,” Meng Yueying snapped. How could she watch her father do something wrong again? “I’m just trying to think of something! My head is about to explode!”
Huo Yuqi could tell that her mother was so worried that her head was about to explode. Her tone became gentle as she said, “Mom, actually this matter isn’t that difficult.”
“What? You have a good idea?” Meng Yueying’s eyes lit up.
“We can hypnotize my aunt and make her forget about that matter. We can also hypnotize Grandpa and make him forget about Cousin-in-law! After Grandpa forgets about Cousin-in-law, we can get someone to take Grandpa overseas. Then, we won’t have to worry about him doing anything wrong again,” Huo Yuqi said.
Meng Yueying thought that this was a good idea!
“Girl, you have finally become useful!”
“What do you mean by I’ve finally become useful? I’ve always been very useful!” Huo Yuqi’s face was full of pride as she continued, “Speaking of which, actually, in the past, Cousin could also have hypnotized Grandpa and make him stop objecting to Cousin and Cousin-in-law being together. Why didn’t he think of such a method before? If that was the case, there wouldn’t be such a situation now! It seems that even someone as smart as Cousin can fail sometimes.”
“It’s not that your cousin couldn’t think of it, but hypnosis isn’t omnipotent. For someone like your grandfather, even if the initial hypnosis made him forget about the marriage alliance with the Ling family, he would still want your cousin to be with other rich women. Back then, your grandfather wanted your cousin to get married and found him a matchmaking partner with great power, but your cousin was unwilling. Your grandfather didn’t force him because he was still thinking about Ling Wei.
“Later, when Junyan and Mu Huan registered their marriage, he didn’t jump out to object to their marriage because he had already contacted Ling Wei at that time. At that time, he was thinking that Mu Huan’s family background wasn’t good. Even if she’d married Junyan already, it would be easy to get rid of her after.
“For instance, once Ling Wei came back, he’d take Mu Huan away. If Ling Wei didn’t come back, he’d have waited to see who else was more suitable. Anyway, it’s easy to chase away that lass from the Mu family. It didn’t matter when he does it. He didn’t take Mu Huan seriously, and he didn’t take the two of them getting married seriously.”
He did not expect Mu Huan to be so difficult to handle.
“Besides, hypnosis can’t make people completely forget. Take your aunt for example. There aren’t many things that she was made to forget, but even so, she often tells me that she feels that something is wrong. Even your aunt feels that way, let alone your grandfather!”
