Xiao Ning walked to the balcony and looked out. She saw a woman dressed in jewels at the entrance of the Bai family's mansion.
The gold chain around the woman's neck was shining brightly under the sunlight. Her earrings were almost the size of half a palm. The Pearl Hairpin on her head was as big as a circle for others, there was also that gold-lined qipao embroidered with big, rich peonies. When it was worn on the middle-aged man's plump body, it made one's eyes dizzy..
Such a flamboyant and well-organized woman. Even before she could see her face clearly, Xiao Ning recognized her at a glance..
This was Mu Tianyu and Mu Liuchuan's mother, Mrs. Mu.
What was Mrs. Mu doing at the Bai family home?
Xiao Ning's heart tightened instinctively.
When she saw that Mrs. Mu had master mu beside her and her parents, the Xiao couple, were opposite her, Xiao Ning felt even more uneasy.
She was engaged to brother Tianyu. Could they be..
She grabbed onto the balcony railing and did not know what to do.
Soon, a servant came in and said, "Young miss, Old Madam wants you to go to the main hall."
"Okay."Xiao Ning agreed and walked downstairs slowly.
In the main hall.
Old Madam Bai's expression was a little ugly.
"What did the Mu family say back then in order to get married? "I still remember that you stood in front of the Bai family for a whole day and asked me to help you persuade the Xiao family. Now, you actually came to propose to break off the engagement. Is it because there are other wealthy families trying to curry favor with you? Do you think the Bai family has no one else?"
Although the old madam did not like Xiao Ning, she would still protect the Bai family and the interests of the Xiao family when facing outsiders. They were like brothers.
Bai peony was so angry that she could not speak.
And Xiao Ning's father was also livid.
Hearing this, Mrs. Mu's face turned a little awkward. However.., the thick-skinned Mrs. Mu quickly shook the golden chain and said, "Yo, old madam, you can't say that. The Bai family is a big family. If we were the kind of people who cling to the rich and powerful, we would definitely cling to the golden thigh. How could we break off the engagement?"? Of course, there was a reason for breaking off the engagement. Xiao Ning was not suitable to be the daughter-in-law of the Mu family! Breaking off the engagement earlier would be good for everyone, right?"
Although she said "Not suitable", her expression almost said "Not worthy".
Bai Shaoyao could not take it anymore and interrupted, "Mrs. Mu, tell me clearly, what do you mean by not suitable? Tianyu and Ning have been childhood sweethearts since young. What's wrong with them? Have you asked the children for their opinions?"
Mrs. Mu rolled her eyes. "Of course, my son doesn't like your daughter who attracts cats and dogs. Are we going to force them to get married like in the old society? What a joke!"
When Xiao Ning entered the house, she heard the phrase "Attract cats and dogs". She felt as if she was struck by lightning. She did not expect Mu Tianyu to be the one who said that.
"Auntie, what... Do you mean by that?"No matter how good-tempered she was, she could not possibly lower her head and let others blame her for anything.
When did she attract cats and dogs?
And when was she a flower butterfly? Was she the kind of flower butterfly that would surround men whenever she saw them?
Bai Shaoyao also protected his daughter. "My Ning Ning may have been a little mischievous since she was young, but she has always been educated with the temperament of a well-bred lady. She would never do anything that would be disgraceful to her family. What flower butterfly are you talking about? Speak clearly. Don't Give My Ning Ning an those groundless accusations! How could a girl's family allow you to slander her so casually?"
Hearing Bai Shaoyao protecting her, Xiao Ning felt a warmth in her heart. Her mother still loved her very much.
However, when she heard her mother say that she would never do anything that would bring shame to the family, her heart trembled again and she felt guilty for a moment.
Although she was not the kind of person who would always surround a man whenever she saw him, the matter between her and her little uncle did not seem to be aboveboard.
