Lu Xue could clearly feel that the temperature around her dropped a few degrees after she finished speaking. She looked up and saw the sneer on Wen Li's lips.
A chill ran down the back of his spine, but after all, Lu Xue had been in a wealthy family for so many years and had dealt with so many people. How could he be easily fooled by a little girl
"I heard that Nan Sheng defended you at the dinner." Lu Xue continued to the second thing, "The Nan family is the largest family in Ningzhou. I know that a gold-plated man like Nan Sheng will always inadvertently sway girls. heart, but you must have a clear understanding.”
"The Nan family is not something someone like you can imagine. Nan Sheng's wife must be from a well-known family, well-educated, well-educated and polite, and she will definitely not be you."
Wen Li finally understood the reason why Lu Xue came here. He was always afraid of being robbed of what he wanted.
"Do you think Nan Sheng's wife will be Mu Nuanxi in the future?" Wen Li pointed out mercilessly.
Lu Xue had no intention of shying away from anything, "Being safe and sound are the four words you need to abide by in the Mu family."
Wen Li clenched his chin and looked at her, "No one can take it away from you. I can't get it if you don't ask for it. You are nothing more than this."
Just as Lu Xue was about to speak, Aunt Ruan walked in from outside and said, "Madam, there is a guest below. He says he is the eldest young master of the Nan family."
After hearing this, a smile broke out on Lu Xue's face. Nan Sheng must have come to find Mu Nuanxi.
As a result, what Aunt Ruan said the next second made Lu Xue's smile drop sharply, "The old man said to let the second lady go down."
Wen Li stood up and said something serious as he walked past Lu Xue, "I left the Mu family when I was five years old. I have lived a carefree and carefree life outside for the past fifteen years, and I have never been in the Mu family without you." I starved to death after just one mouthful of food. People can think highly of themselves, but they cannot be shameless."
Wen Li left the room, and Lu Xue realized that he was talking about her.
"This wild girl." She gritted her teeth and started to catch up.
Aunt Ruan stretched out her hand to hold her, "Madam, the old man values the second young lady very much. At this time, I think you should not get into trouble."
"When will I need you to teach me how to do something?" Lu Xue shook off her hand and walked out coaxingly.
Aunt Ruan stood there and sighed. Madam is usually a very calm and calm person. Even if she has any dissatisfaction, she hides it in her heart.
What's going on today? I'm so frustrated.
When Wen Li went downstairs, he realized that Nan Sheng was not the only one coming over. Nan Pei was also among them. The two of them were sitting side by side and talking to the old man.
The closer you get, the more you can hear Mu Kuiyuan's words from time to time and Nan Pei's chuckles. At this moment, Mu Chenyu and his brothers are not here, and Li Mengluo and Mu Jing'an are sitting next to them with their mother and daughter.
There were also several exquisite gift boxes placed at their feet, presumably as gifts.
"Nan Sheng hasn't been here for a long time. As an old man, I don't know much about the ways of you young people. I'd better come here more often when I have free time." Mu Kuiyuan smiled and talked to the two of them.
"You're welcome. I'm usually busy with work. I'll take more time to come over in the future. I hope you won't find me annoying."
Nan Pei felt sleepy listening to her brother's formulaic answers. If it wasn't to help Nan Sheng avoid suspicion, she wouldn't have come to Mu's house.
Although the two families knew each other, this was her first time visiting the Mu family.
Nan Sheng came frequently when he was a child, but when he grew up, he never stepped into the Mu family again.
Mu Nuanxi came from the tea hall, with a slight smile on her lips, and placed the brewed tea in front of several people.
"Sister Nan Pei, this is your favorite scented tea. Brother Sheng, add some milk to your black coffee."
Nan Pei looked at the tea cup she put in front of him and laughed in his heart. Mu Nuanxi could really remember everyone's preferences clearly.
Especially Nansheng's, he really doesn't even let go of his favorite cups.
"Thank you." Nan Sheng said politely.
Mu Nuanxi lowered her head, with a slight blush on her ears, looking like a little girl. "Our Xi'er is really partial. My aunt has been here so many times, but she never took the initiative to make me a cup of my favorite tea." Mu Jing'an joked with a smile.
Mu Nuanxi stomped her feet angrily, "Auntie, what are you talking about?"
"Okay, okay, our little princess has really grown up and is thoughtful."
Mu Kuiyuan saw the exchange between the two children and nodded with satisfaction.
"Wen Li." Nan Pei greeted Wen Li happily as he saw Wen Li coming downstairs, holding a cup.
She nodded and walked to the farthest sofa to sit down.
"Nan Sheng, you often came to our house when you were a child to see if you still remember Li Li. You guys played well before." Mu Kuiyuan pointed at Wen Li and introduced him to Nan Sheng.
"We met yesterday. Wen Li is indeed more mature than when he was a child."
Mu Nuanxi stood aside holding the tray. When she saw Nan Sheng's eyes looking at Wen Li, her fingertips clasping Bai Porcelain turned white.
"Grandpa Mu, I came here this time just to invite Wen Li to my place as a guest. I wonder if you will agree." Nan Pei leaned over and spoke.
After directly naming his purpose, Mu Kuiyuan looked at Mu Wenli and then at Mu Nuanxi.
"Of course. This child just came back and has no friends in Ningzhou. I'm worried about her. If Miss Nan is willing to take her out for a walk, it's not too late for me to be happy."
Mu Kuiyuan said and looked at Wen Li, "Li Li, go out and have fun with Miss Nan."
Wen Li lowered his head and fiddled with his phone, "I'm not going."
The rejection was so complete that the enthusiastic Mu Kuiyuan was stunned.
Mu Jing'an also frowned, and Lu Xue, who followed Wen Li downstairs, also showed a surprised expression.
"Don't be like this, Wen Li. Sister Nanpei has a lot of fun things there. You will definitely like them."
Nan Sheng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard his sister's coaxing tone. He was such a childlike sister.
The little girl in front of me is already twenty years old, not twelve.
"Li Li, how could this be? Girls of your age always have to look outside." Mr. Mu advised.
This child really doesn't understand at all. Although Nan Pei has never liked to attend various banquets and only focuses on her own designs, she is still the daughter of the Ningzhou Nan family and plays a decisive role in the entire upper class society.
It would be best to be friends with Nan Pei.
"Li Li, Sister Nan Pei also likes you. Our two families are family friends, so it's always good to have more contact." Mu Nuanxi's tone was patient.
Nan Sheng looked at the girl who refused decisively, and then thought about what the man said when he went out. He took out a palm-sized transparent box from the gift box at his feet and handed it over.
"This is a little gift for you, see if you like it."
Wen Li's sight came across a delicately packaged transparent box with a piece of bright yellow tassel inside.
Something flashed through her mind, and she opened her mouth to agree, "Okay, I promise to go and have a look with you."
Nan Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, remembering the man's calmness when he handed the things to him, and became curious about what could make Mu Wenli agree to go with Nan Pei.
