Chapter 13 Do I look like a Manchu Han Imperial Feast?

Mu Qianyu is intelligent and decisive.

Even though Jian Huai controlled the Jian Group, he was no match for Mu Qianyu in terms of development and his unique vision in the business world.

Moreover, the Jian Group only secured its later projects thanks to Mu Qianyu.

The annulment of the engagement means that the projects that the Jian Group currently relies on the Mu family for may come to a standstill due to this news.

The partners will reconsider their partnership.

Jian Huai was somewhat incredulous, but the bodyguards who had been waiting there quickly took action and took Jian Huai away.

Chao Xian wiped his hands, having watched the show, and prepared to leave.

Seeing Chao Xian's actions, the man in the main seat quickly said, "Xiao Xian, you haven't been to the Mu family before, why don't you stay here for the day?"

Mu Yunzhou quietly explained the man's identity to Chao Xian beside her.

"This is my uncle, and the one next to him is my aunt. They are temporarily taking care of the Mu family after my parents went on vacation."

Upon hearing this, Chao Xian immediately pulled Mu Ziyan over and said, "No need, Ziyan has to go to school today, so I'll take Ziyan with me first."

Upon hearing this, Mu Ziyan instinctively replied, "I've already asked for leave."

Chao Xian hadn't had time to cover Mu Ziyan's mouth.

Turning around, he saw everyone staring at him expectantly.

Chao Xian's pleading gaze fell on Mu Yunzhou.

Mu Yunzhou turned his head slightly.

Pretend you didn't see it.

Chao Xian ultimately stayed.

It doesn't matter anymore.

After the divorce, I'm not coming back anyway, so it's all Mu Yunzhou's business, not mine.

It seems to have nothing to do with me.

Mu Qianyu also pulled Chao Xian, preventing him from leaving.

The smile on her face was a little stiff. She whispered in Chao Xian's ear, "I still have to talk about my marriage with Elder later. I guess I'll get a lot of criticism, but they won't say anything if you're here."

As for why?

They were afraid that Mu Yunzhou would be returned.

A man who has absolutely no sense of romance.

In addition, there are elders who strongly oppose other people's marriages.

This is practically a buff stacking.

At the dining table, no one was seated in the main seat. Instead, Mu Yunzhou sat next to the main seat, while Mu Ziyan sat on the other side.

Chao Xian sat down next to Mu Yunzhou, while Mu Qianyu followed in turn.

Mu Ziyan was sitting next to her uncle and aunt.

Each person's position is fixed, representing their status within the family.

Chao Xian understood at a glance.

After the dishes were served, Chao Xian found that the food on the table was to his liking.

But since no one touched their chopsticks, Chao Xian didn't dare to make any sudden movements.

Chao Xian glanced at Mu Yunzhou discreetly, but Mu Yunzhou seemed completely unconcerned.

Then, the younger uncle opposite Mu Yunzhou looked at him and said softly, "Yunzhou, everyone is here."

Mu Yunzhou nodded and picked up the serving chopsticks beside him.

The representative began the meal.

As soon as the peeled, boiled shrimp were served, Chao Xian eyed them intently.

It is known that currently only he and Mu Ziyan like to eat this food at this table.

But that plate of shrimp was closer to Mu Ziyan!

Just as Chao Xian was thinking about how to coerce or entice... no, how to kindly get Mu Ziyan to give up the plate of boiled shrimp.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Mu Yunzhou standing up.

Just as Mu Ziyan was about to pick up a shrimp, Mu Yunzhou casually placed the plate of boiled shrimp in front of Chao Xian.

Chao Xian saw that Mu Ziyan's chopsticks were already in mid-air and abruptly stopped.

When Chao Xian saw the plate of boiled shrimp placed in front of him, he looked puzzled.

Sure enough, with a stepmother, the father also became a stepfather.

Everyone felt that Mu Ziyan was about to have an emotional outburst.

Chao Xian looked at Mu Yunzhou with admiration, his gaze as if to say that Mu Yunzhou was truly a good person.

"I want to eat it too," Mu Ziyan said pitifully.

He looked pitifully at Chao Xian and Mu Yunzhou.

I just hope that the two of them will have a change of heart.

However, Mu Ziyan was really overthinking it.

Chao Xian and Mu Yunzhou didn't even glance at them.

Mu Ziyan's great-uncle silently used serving chopsticks to put a piece of food in front of her, comforting her, "It's okay, it's okay. I won't put it in front of you next time. As long as you can't see it, it's fine."

Mu Ziyan: ?

Before Mu Ziyan could speak, he heard his great-uncle and his wife take out two bank cards and hand them to Chao Xian: "You and Yunzhou didn't have a wedding. Although you sent a gift, you still need to give a small gift when you meet."

"Consider these as some pocket money. Use them for now, and I'll get you another gift next time I visit the Mu family."

Ever since Mu Yunzhou placed the plate of boiled shrimp in front of Chao Xian, the smile on his aunt's face has never stopped.

Mu Yunzhou wasn't the kind of person who knew how to take care of others, but the simple act of placing a plate of boiled shrimp in front of Chao Xian was enough to make people realize how much Mu Yunzhou valued Chao Xian.

After finishing her meal, Mu Qianyu looked at her parents, then at Chao Xian and Mu Yunzhou, and spoke slowly:

"Oh, right, there's something else I need to discuss with you. This is Elder, the vice president of Company C overseas. I'm going to marry him in the future."

Chao Xian noticed that the expressions on the two people opposite him changed instantly.

All eyes fell on Elder.

Elder stood up and bowed to the two of them, looking somewhat unaccustomed to the task.

However, given Elder's status, he certainly doesn't need to grovel before anyone.

"Uncle, Aunt, I truly like Qianyu, and I hope you can give me a chance."

Elder carefully glanced at the two men's expressions, his intuition telling him that they weren't satisfied with him.

The uncle and aunt didn't look at their daughter immediately; instead, they looked at Mu Yunzhou.

They knew that Mu Yunzhou didn't usually come to the Mu family, and that coming with his daughter meant he probably already knew about this.

In addition, Chao Xian is here now.

Even if they weren't happy, they wouldn't show it to Chao Xian.

"Let's talk about this later, Qianyu. Come to the study in a bit."

Chao Xian heard his uncle across from him say this.

He then quickly glanced at Mu Yunzhou beside him.

Aren't we supposed to speak up for them?

Why aren't you saying anything now?

“Uncle and Aunt, Elder stayed at my house for a few days. Chao Xian and I both think that the two of them are a good match. In addition, I believe that Qian Yu made this decision after careful consideration.”

Even if they didn't think Elder and Mu Qianyu were a good match.

But upon hearing Mu Yunzhou's words, he couldn't help but think twice.

Mu Qianyu broke off her engagement and got married right afterward. If this gets out, it will probably cause a stir in the entertainment circle.

"Let's talk about this later, Qianyu. Although it's not your fault with the Jian family, it's not something that can be resolved with just one message."

My aunt just felt a headache.

Mu Yunzhou offered a solution: "There's a banquet in Shuangya in a couple of days. I'm busy, so let Qianyu go."

As long as those people see that Mu Qianyu is still in good condition, the rumors behind her will be dispelled.

As for Jian Huai's side...

That's something Jian Huai has to figure out himself.

When Chao Xian heard them start talking about the Shuangya Banquet, he decided to get up and leave.

The moment he made a move, everyone who had been talking instantly turned their attention to him.

"Xiao Xian, isn't it too boring for you to listen to us talk? Yun Zhou, really, what's the point of talking about work at home?"

The first thing the aunt said was out of concern, but the second thing she said was directly addressed to Mu Yunzhou.

Mu Yunzhou opened his mouth, then silently closed it again.

never mind.

They won't listen even if you tell them.

“That’s right, Yunzhou, you should spend more time with Chaochao at home. If you only know how to work all day, be careful Chaochao won’t want you anymore~” Mu Qianyu said with a smile.

It sounds like a joke.

Upon hearing this, Mu Yunzhou frowned slightly and looked at Mu Qianyu.

That expression seemed to be telling Mu Qianyu that this matter was not over yet.

So quickly they've crossed the river and then burned the bridge?

Mu Qianyu said it offhand.

Without thinking, it wasn't until he remembered that he needed Yunzhou's help that he realized he needed it.

Mu Qianyu couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth.

Hehe, I'll do it again next time.

"Mu Ziyan has a combat class this afternoon, so I'll take him and leave now."

Seeing that the two people opposite him seemed to want to say something, Chao Xian quickly said, "Next time, I'll come again next time."

Chao Xian gave Mu Ziyan a look, and Mu Ziyan nodded obediently.

He was afraid that if he didn't agree, he would get a beating as soon as he got home and the door was closed.

I can't beat them.

After leaving the Mu family and getting into the car, Mu Ziyan let out a small sigh.

Chao Xian was focused on driving when he heard a sigh. He turned to Mu Ziyan and said, "You're so young and you're already feeling melancholy? What? You're not happy that I'm your driver? If you're so capable, you drive!"

"I don't have a driver's license." Mu Ziyan knew that Chao Xian was just saying it casually, and felt even more tired.

Do we really have to go home to study?

Can't we have a day off?

Mu Ziyan thought to herself, watching the scenery outside recede into the distance.

We continued until we saw the shopping mall, then slowed down and entered the underground parking lot.

After parking his car, Chao Xian picked up his phone and glanced at the map.

"There's a really good barbecue restaurant on the third floor of this mall. I showed you around today, so you should treat me to some barbecue."

Before Mu Ziyan could refuse, Chao Xian decisively said, "This is called reciprocity!"

What a perfect example of reciprocity!

I want to see the excitement, and I want to eat the barbecue.

But they insist he buy it!

What outrageous adults!

Mu Ziyan sighed deeply.

He's already been brought here, so he has no choice but to buy this order.

Mu Ziyan never expected that someone would come to eat barbecue right after finishing lunch, and even eat quite a lot of it!

No wonder Chao Xian didn't eat much at the dinner table.

It seems they had planned to come here for barbecue a long time ago.

No wonder I didn't want to eat at the Mu family's house.

Mu Ziyan tried to argue: "I haven't received my scholarship yet."

“But you have pocket money.” Chao Xian blinked, looking obedient and innocent.

Mu Ziyan glanced at his watch, then at Chao Xian, as if to say that he never expected Chao Xian to be this kind of person.

"You have some too, more than me."

Mu Ziyan condemned it.

But the condemnation was ineffective.

Mu Ziyan held the bill, her face filled with resentment, like a pitiful little thing who couldn't resist being forcibly suppressed.

"So what if you treated me to barbecue? I can treat you to barbecue tomorrow too."

That way, I can eat two meals that I like.

"I want a Manchu Han Imperial Feast!" Mu Ziyan said, clutching the bill.

As soon as I stepped out of the store, Chao Xian flicked my forehead with his knuckles.

Chao Xian spoke gently, but to Mu Ziyan it sounded like ice.

"Do I look like a Manchu Han Imperial Feast?"

threaten!

That's a blatant threat!

"You look taller again! Let me take you shopping for clothes!"

Chao Xian looked him up and down, and he was excited.

Mu Ziyan felt a chill run down her spine and offered a gentle reminder: "We can have a tailor come to our home to make it."

Chao Xian glanced at Mu Ziyan beside him and smiled more villainously than a villain himself: "But then I wouldn't be able to experience the joy of the dress-up game!"
