Gossip spreads at the fastest speed, but in just one night, the entire upper class society in Ningzhou City knew that the second young lady retrieved by the Mu family stole the show at Nanpei's dinner party.
When the news spread, on the basis of the original facts, there were some added embellishments.
At the party hosted by the eldest daughter of the Nan family, the second young lady who had just been retrieved from the Mu family became the target of public criticism. I don’t know who came up with the idea of letting a little girl retrieved from the country play the piano.
As a result, not only did she not make a fool of herself as others thought, she actually played beautiful music when there was something wrong with the piano.
He slapped everyone present hard in the face, but more importantly, Nan Sheng seemed to be very interested in Mu Wenli.
This also makes the already ambiguous relationship between Nanmu and Nanmu families become even more fascinating.
The Mu family returned to the Mu family at one o'clock in the afternoon. Mu Chenyu originally wanted to go to the company first, but Mu Kuiyuan called and told everyone to be in place.
It is estimated that the news from last night has reached the old man's ears.
Mu Nuanxi and Lu Xue entered the door first. She still looked a little weak and pale because she was frightened by falling into the water last night.
Wen Li followed closely, followed by the chirping Mu Chenxing and Mu Chenyu.
As soon as she stepped through the door, she heard sounds coming from inside, as if someone was having a fierce argument.
Wen Li recognized Li Mengluo's voice and walked to the living room to take a closer look at the girl standing next to the coffee table, her face flushed with pain.
It’s really Li Mengluo.
"Grandpa." Mu Nuanxi called out first.
The old man who was listening to Li Mengluo looked up and saw his granddaughter's pale face, his expression softened a little.
"Dad." Lu Xue helped Mu Nuanxi sit on the sofa.
"How is Xi'er? Is she feeling better?" The old man stared at his granddaughter.
Mu Nuanxi nodded obediently, "I'm much better, Grandpa. I'm sorry for making you worry."
Mu Kuiyuan's heart softened. His granddaughter had been sensible since she was a child, but she was timid and soft. She always thought of others when things happened, which made people feel distressed.
"You go upstairs and have a good rest." Mu Kuiyuan ordered.
Mu Nuanxi looked back at the three of them, "Grandpa, I'm not tired yet."
Mu Kuiyuan stared at Mu Chenyu, then at Mu Chenxing, "Tell me what happened last night."
"It's just that none of us were paying attention, and my sister accidentally fell into the water." Mu Chenxing felt a little guilty, then raised his finger and pointed at Wen Li, "But grandpa, she was the culprit. If she hadn't run around, If my sister was looking for her everywhere, how could she fall into the water?"
Mu Chenxing thought that the old man was blaming Mu Nuanxi for falling into the water.
Mu Kuiyuan glared at him fiercely, "Is this what I'm asking about!!"
Mu Chenxing was stunned for a moment, then glanced at Wen Li. Maybe the point was wrong.
"I asked you to take good care of Li Li when you go out. She just came back. I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at her. The purpose of letting you look at her is to prevent others from bullying her. It would be better for you to just let her attend the dinner party. Being humiliated!" Mu Kui Yuanqi said coaxingly, and the crutch in his hand hit the ground heavily.
After hearing what the old man said, everyone felt uncomfortable.
I originally thought that grandpa was angry because of Mu Nuanxi, but I didn't expect that it was because of this wild girl. Mu Chenxing suddenly became unhappy.
"Grandpa, you don't even care if my sister falls into the water. Why are you so concerned about her? Besides, none of us care about her. She's standing here with good arms and legs," Mu Chenxing said. Then he glanced at Wen Li, who said nothing.
"Shut up." The old man stared at him, "Do you think I am old, blind and deaf? I know the news outside better than you, and I know what happened! You must give me an explanation. .”
When Wen Li was ridiculed by so many people, Mu Chenyu was not there, so Mu Chenxing was watching at the scene. He also knew that grandpa was angry and retreated behind Mu Chenyu. "Say it!" The old man successfully targeted Mu Chenyu.
The latter glanced at his younger siblings and could only speak.
"It's all trivial things. Why do you care so much about it?"
He was discussing things with several business partners at the time. When he came out, he also listened to the words of his secretary and Mu Chenxing and learned what happened at that time.
Wen Li did become the target of public criticism, but she unexpectedly regained this face, and she did so beautifully.
"Are you quibbling? How do you take care of your younger brothers and sisters!"
"Grandpa, didn't Luo Luo tell you what happened just now? Why are you still angry?" Li Mengluo walked around and said coquettishly.
Mu Nuanxi also stood up and went over, "Grandpa, after all, Li Li didn't suffer in this matter. Don't be angry yet. It's our fault. We didn't take good care of Li Li. We will definitely pay more attention to it in the future."
The father's children always speak in a coquettish way, especially girls who have been doted on since childhood, and they can make people soften when they speak.
Seeing his granddaughter's pale face, Mu Kuiyuan felt soft.
Butler Mu saw the opportunity and went up to persuade her, "You can't always take care of the children's affairs. Besides, the third lady has nothing to do, so don't be angry."
"That's all, Li Li is fine too." Please pay more attention to me in the future! “The old man can only relent.
After a few words, Mu Kuiyuan's anger dropped a lot.
Mu Jing'an, who was sitting on the sofa, didn't say a word from beginning to end, slowly flipping through the magazine in his hand, staying out of the situation, but looking up at Wen Li from time to time.
Because the time of return happened to be in the afternoon, afternoon tea was also prepared here, so Aunt Ruan called a few children over.
Li Mengluo pestered the old man and wanted to say something, but Aunt Ruan dragged him over.
"Li Li, you and grandpa come to the study. Grandpa has something to tell you."
Wen Li followed the old man into the study. For Mu Kuiyuan's convenience, his study was placed on the first floor.
After the two entered the door, Mu Jing'an closed the magazine in her hand, and Lu Xue sat down next to her.
"What did you see?"
"Calm and calm, he didn't say a single unnecessary word throughout the whole process, and his way of thinking is more mature than the children in this family." Mu Jing'an commented.
"Not one to be trifled with."
If Li Mengluo hadn't forcefully brought her back today, Mu Jing'an wouldn't have been willing to come over. There was no need to involve adults in the fight between children.
But she was also particularly curious about Mu Wenli. What kind of child the old man had been talking about for so many years had grown up.
"It is indeed not a fuel-efficient lamp."
Lu Xue clenched the cup in her hand. If it weren't for Mu Kuiyuan's insistence, Wen Li would not have returned to this home.
When everything is a foregone conclusion, the person who appears to break the balance is always the most disliked.
