The 99th Divorce - Chapter 2258 - Ignoring His Conscience

“I won’t get overweight. Moyun got so fat because Grandma and Grandpa fed him. They haven’t fed me. Granny Rong cooks meals with balanced nutrition.”

Granny Rong was keeping busy by their side. She grinned from ear to ear when she heard what Li Jianyue said.

She felt gratified. After all, she had been with the Li family for so many years. She had always treated the children as if they were her own grandchildren.

Granny Rong was very happy that they heaped such high praise on her. “Keep the gossip here. Don’t talk about his weight in front of Moyun. It’ll put him in a bad mood,” she counseled.

“Granny Rong, we need to remind him more often. Then he can condition his mind to keep fit actively. He will only spoil his health if he gets even more fat at this rate,” Li Jianyue countered. As she spoke, the doorbell rang.

Granny Rong rushed to open the door. There stood Li Moyun.

Li Moyun made a bit of a comical entrance. He moved his plump body, spread his hands toward the sky, and declared loudly, “I, Li Moyun, have finally come back!”

Li Jianyue was eating her breakfast. She looked at Li Moyun and said, “Why are you here? Brother Mosen, get rid of him.”

“Come on!” Li Moyun said in a huff. “Don’t eat too much, Li Jianyue! I haven’t blamed you for making fun of me by flaunting the hot-pot meal yesterday.”

“Why should I be blamed? I just wanted to share that with you since you are so sad and lonely at home!”

Li Moyun spluttered with indignation, “How dare you say that! It was because of you that I had to stay hungry the whole night yesterday! Just look at my dark circles, the dark circles under my eyes!”

Li Moyun leaned forward and pulled his eyelid, showing his raccoon eyes to Li Jianyue.

“Wow, they are dark circles, indeed! If you were starving, why didn’t you ask Grandpa or Grandma to cook a meal for you?”

“Don’t bring that up,” Li Moyun said, almost tearing. “It’s all your fault! When Grandma and Grandpa saw how slim you were, they started complaining about my weight. They even said I was as fat as a pig and told me to lose weight. From now on, I’m not allowed to have meat for lunch. I can only have vegetables. What did I do to deserve that!”

“So, did you stay hungry all night?” Yu Chulin asked out of curiosity.

Li Moyun became even sadder. “When I couldn’t control my hunger any longer, Grandpa gave me a piece of hardtack.”

“Hahaha!” Li Jianyue burst out laughing. “Oh, pity you! Hahaha.”

A slight smile crossed Li Mosen’s face. Li Jianqian jumped in, “That is as it should be. Grandma and Grandpa are right. If you continue to remain as obese as you are now, it will be hard for you to lose weight later.”

“Even now, it’s hard for him to lose weight.”

“That’s true.”

Li Moyun didn’t like it that everyone was bullying him. He sat down at the table in frustration.

Is it his fault that he was fat? Does he want to be fat?

Of course, he doesn’t want to be fat!

His grandparents were the reason for him being fat. But now they had turned on him. Li Moyun felt more aggrieved the more he thought about it. He grabbed a piece of dry toast and was about to eat it.

But before he could take a bite, Yu Chulin had held his hand.

Li Moyun was stunned. Yu Chulin smiled and teased, “Didn’t you have breakfast before you came here?”

Of course, he did!

He had two buns, a deep-fried dough stick, and a cup of soybean milk for breakfast. It was not enough for Li Moyun.

He wasn’t hungry now. But Li Moyun was sure his stomach would start growling in less than an hour.

As his eyes met Yu Chulin’s, Li Moyun decided to forsake his conscience. “No, I haven’t eaten,” he said, hiding the truth.
