"Hmph! Just keep being arrogant! But if Mumu suffers again, I’ll be the first one to not forgive you."
The old man of the Mu Family listened for a while and snorted to remind Mu Yichen.
Qin Mu couldn’t help but chuckle, and the atmosphere suddenly beca sowhat lively.
Mu Yichen was at a loss with these two old n. If it were a battle, he could co up with so ideas, but at a family dinner table, he really had no words to say and had to remain silent.
"This girl’s temper is no better. I’m just thankful if my son doesn’t suffer. Xiaohao, you’re close to Mumu, you know her bad temper, right?"
Feng Fanghua rarely spoke up for her son, which hadn’t happened in a long ti.
Both Mu Yichen and Qin Mu looked at her in surprise.
Helian Hao was a bit nervous, not knowing why she was suddenly ntioned, then smiled and said, "Yes, Mumu’s temper is indeed terrible."
Qin Mu: "..."
"Ever since this girl ca to Rongcheng, hasn’t she stirred up our Mu Family like crazy? But now, since we’re all one family, we won’t say anything about you."
Feng Fanghua continued speaking, her gaze turning affectionate.
Qin Mu knew that Feng Fanghua just wanted to create a sense of balance in front of the elders of both families, so she didn’t argue back.
"Actually, Mumu has a good personality; she’s very lively, also very steady, and her career is doing well."
It was Helian Hao’s mother-in-law who suddenly tenderly praised Qin Mu.
She always looked at Qin Mu with a hint of guilt in her eyes. Qin Mu, of course, knew the reason, but she really hoped this look wouldn’t continue.
Later, Qin Mu and Helian Hao went to the restroom together and ran into Rui Sen who was washing his hands. Rui Sen instinctively turned around when he heard their voices, then saw the two won laughing so happily, one of whom was the one he thought about day and night.
"Qinqin!"
Hearing that unfamiliar voice calling her Qinqin, Qin Mu couldn’t help but lift her eyes, and when she saw Rui Sen, she was startled: "Rui Sen, —my friend Helian Hao."
A bit awkward, but she introduced them anyway.
Helian Hao gently shook his hand, then said in fluent English, "You better not get too close to ’Qinqin,’ her husband is known for being a jealous man in Rongcheng."
Qin Mu was still smiling, but it had beco a bit stiff. She kicked Helian Hao lightly with her foot, and Helian Hao dodged effortlessly.
Rui Sen couldn’t help but laugh, then asked, "Is your husband the man who kept visiting you during college?"
Rui Sen rembered Mu Yichen, although the mory was already fuzzy.
Qin Mu nodded: "Yes!"
Rui Sen lowered his head, slightly embarrassed: "Am I not supposed to be here?"
He rembered how awful that man’s reputation was at their school, but basically, Mu Yichen was very cold and hard to get along with.
"No!"
Qin Mu had to answer like this, what else could she say?
"That’s good! I’ll leave soon! But I still hope we can have a al together soti, and you can bring friends!"
Rui Sen said, glancing at Helian Hao.
"Sure! I’d love to!"
Helian Hao found Rui Sen to be a nice person, so she agreed.
Qin Mu grinned, wanting to smile, but it was really forced.
In fact, eting old classmates and having a al to show hospitality is quite normal, but Qin Mu felt their family’s situation was special, yet sohow Dr. Hao accepted so readily for her.
Qin Mu was thinking about how she should explain to Mu Yichen at that ti? Or how to explain to Mu Yichen?
When leaving, Helian Hao shook hands with him again, but it happened to be seen by Jing Feng. As soon as Helian Hao walked out of the restroom, she saw Jing Feng staring at her with dark eyes, as if thinking about what cri she had committed.
But Helian Hao was particularly calm as she walked past him, even asking, "Why that expression? Shouldn’t a friend’s friend be treated well?"
Jing Feng said nothing, just frowned and lowered his head.
"You and Mu Yichen really want to embarrass the n of Rongcheng? Can’t you be as gentlemanly as those n from Paris just once?"
Jing Feng...
Even Mu Yichen, who was outside smoking, heard those words and couldn’t help but furrow his brow. When did he beco the example of the opposite for Rongcheng n?
The corridor was dim, but it couldn’t compare to the depth of the man’s eyes.
Qin Mu kept her head down, pretending not to see Mu Yichen’s displeased look, and followed Helian Hao back to hear the grandfathers talk about the past. They loved hearing the grandfathers talk about their youthful exploits, or anything they liked to ntion. Even Feng Fanghua and Mrs. Jing, who had heard them hundreds of tis, listened quietly all the way through.
