Half an hour later.
The number one trending topic on Weibo suddenly changed to "Nightlife Scandals of Elite Socialites."
Mu Qingxin idly scrolled through Weibo and stumbled upon the post. Curious, she tapped on it, wondering if it might be about Qin Mu. But when she opened it, she was utterly shocked.
"Whoa! Is this about that Mrs. Chen you ntioned? Mrs. Chen! Wow, she’s at a nightclub grinding up close and personal with so stranger? Oh my goodness! She’s really living it up, huh!"
Qin Mu and Feng Fanghua were sitting beside her as they watched too. Feng Fanghua thought to herself, "Who could be so spiteful? Exposing sothing like this – wouldn’t this force the Chen Family to kick her out?"
Qin Mu didn’t dare say anything. She just thought about how they had only seen this Mrs. Chen earlier today, and now Mrs. Chen’s scandal was blowing up. This...
Honestly, she hadn’t done anything, but for so reason, she felt inexplicably guilty.
"Whoa! The Chen Family definitely can’t tolerate her, right? Mom, you’re so close with the Chen Family—you must know plenty of inside stories. Spill it!"
Mu Qingxin instantly switched to gossip mode.
Sotis, TV dramas couldn’t compare to the raw drama of real life in terms of excitent.
"This Mrs. Chen and the eldest son of the Chen Family fell in love freely. Although the Chen Family wasn’t too satisfied with her background, they didn’t interfere much... after all, the son liked her, so as parents..."
Feng Fanghua spoke hesitantly, forcing a smile as she went.
Mu Qingxin shot a look at her mother, the kind of expression halfway between amusent and incredulity.
Qin Mu awkwardly lowered her head, thinking that the conversation had taken quite an unexpected turn.
"But Mom, didn’t you say not too long ago that I should treat you as my own mother?"
Qin Mu quickly brought up an old topic, acting utterly like family without an ounce of hesitation.
Her small gaze, timidly avoiding a direct stare at the mother-daughter duo, nonetheless betrayed her stubbornness.
"What? You’re the real daughter? Then what am I?"
Mu Qingxin turned her head and cast Qin Mu a skeptical look, then glanced at her own mother as if saying: Where exactly do I fit into this?
"I wasn’t lying, but there’s only one biological daughter after all."
Feng Fanghua, afraid Mu Qingxin might feel jealous, deliberately added more to her words.
Being a mother to two girls now, Feng Fanghua knew better than to favor one too obviously—it’d surely lead to trouble.
"Hmph! Mom, you’re starting to favor that brat Qin Mu!"
Mu Qingxin set down her phone, grabbed Feng Fanghua’s arm, and began shaking it dramatically.
"Alright, alright! Stop shaking —you’re going to make dizzy!"
Definitely feeling the effects of her age, after being shaken a few tis by Mu Qingxin, Feng Fanghua frowned and quickly stopped her.
"Then tell you love the most, that you care for the most! I’m your real daughter!"
Mu Qingxin continued whining as she clung to her mom’s arm.
Feng Fanghua...
"Isn’t that obvious?"
Feng Fanghua said abruptly, catching even Qin Mu off guard, making her burst into laughter.
Mu Qingxin—she truly was the family’s little firecracker.
Mu Qingxin was still playing the adorable brat when Huanhuan returned ho. As soon as she got off the car, she raced toward the house.
Mu Zihao followed behind her, letting her run ahead while he took his ti walking leisurely after her.
He thought about how little Huanhuan was when she first joined the family, barely able to speak. In the blink of an eye, she could run so fast now.
"Grandma! Mommy! Auntie! I’m back!"
Huanhuan ran inside and gave her grandma a huge hug first. Before Feng Fanghua could even wrap her arms around her, Huanhuan dove into Qin Mu’s embrace, planting kisses and then glancing over at her aunt nearby.
Mu Qingxin said, "I really have no status around here. Only Grandma and Mom get hugs—what about Auntie?"
"Hehe!"
Huanhuan giggled sweetly at her lovable aunt but made no effort to seek a hug.
"I brought you so candy! Chocolate flavor!"
Huanhuan especially loved chocolate, so her classmates often gifted her chocolate-flavored treats.
She pulled out three lollipops from the big pocket of her overalls. First, she handed one to Grandma, then one to Mommy. When it ca to her aunt, however, Grandpa walked in from outside and sat down. So she glanced at her aunt, then blinked pitifully before diverting the lollipop ant for her aunt and giving it to Grandpa instead.
Mu Qingxin...
"I... Your daughter bullied !"
Mu Qingxin almost burst into tears, looking pitifully toward Qin Mu to complain.
"Oh, our little Huanhuan is really growing up to be so considerate!"
Feng Fanghua gazed lovingly at the lollipop in her hand and then at the little girl snuggling in Grandpa’s lap. Huanhuan always saved things for them first—it deeply moved Feng Fanghua, so she indulged Huanhuan in everything.
