"Come to think of it, you married Zhou Shuo to me not because of that 20 million project, right?" Mu Ci asked slowly.
Zhou Le looked at Mu Ci, his big, deer-like eyes filled with sincerity, "Brother-in-law, we just want my sister to be happy!"
Mu Ci's lips curled up slightly, as if talking to himself: "Great, it seems that we can cancel that project, so that no one will criticize Zhou Shuo for being sold into the Zhou family by his parents."
Zhou Le's expression changed instantly.
Zhou Shuo couldn't help but laugh.
Shen Yu hurriedly said: "Master, you can't do this! We have all agreed on this, how can we joke about business? You have to be trustworthy!"
Mu Ci's face turned cold again. "Credit? Madam Zhou is really hypocritical. You don't keep your word, but you want us to keep ours. Why? Is it because you are weak?"
Zhou Le and her daughter were speechless.
"Wow! Why is it so lively today?" The voice came before the person arrived. The second young master Mu walked in leisurely with the car keys in his hand.
Zhou Leru was pardoned and took two steps towards Mu En.
"Hey, which family is this little beauty related to?" Mu En had his usual smile on his face, gentle and touching.
Zhou Leyou stopped and lowered his head slightly.
Mu En looked at Song Nan, as if waiting for her to introduce him.
Song Nan smiled slightly, she knew Mu En too well.
"Mu En, this is Zhou Shuo's sister, Miss Zhou Le, and this is Mrs. Zhou." She was raised by Duan Si. Due to Duan Si's selfishness, he had been making her hesitate between marrying Mu Ci or not. As a result, the relationship between Song Nan and Mu Ci became extremely delicate. The two were not like siblings, nor like childhood sweethearts, and the boundary between them always hovered at the right place.
On the other hand, Song Nan and Mu En have a true brother-sister relationship. From childhood to adulthood, Song Nan has cleaned up countless messes for Mu En, and Mu En truly respects this sister.
Mu En immediately greeted Shen Yu, and then said to Zhou Le: "I didn't expect that my sister-in-law's sister is also a rare beauty. The water in your Zhou family is probably nourishing."
After praising the beauty, he squeezed in and sat down next to Grandpa. When he looked up and saw Mu Ci, he stood up again and suppressed his smile: "Brother? Are you angry? Who offended you?"
Without waiting for anyone's answer, he smiled at Zhou Shuo and said, "Sister-in-law, my brother has a bad temper. Didn't he scare you? Eh? This is Brother Chen Hai's masterpiece, right? Brother Chen Hai, you are still as amazing as ever. When I get a girlfriend, you have to help me too."
Chen Hai had watched the entire farce of the Mu family and was feeling awkward, not knowing how to leave. Mu En saved his situation. He smiled and said, "That has to be agreed in advance. I can only help you once. You have to choose from your flowers and plants first. Don't waste the opportunity."
"Hey, Brother Chen Hai, why are you talking in the same tone as my grandpa?" Mu En made an exaggerated expression helplessly.
Chen Hai smiled and turned to Mu Chen, "Old man, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first. If you need me, please let Mu Ci find me."
Mu Chen nodded slightly, appreciating Chen Hai's understanding. Fortunately, with his friendship with Mu Ci, he wouldn't say anything when he went out. "Okay, come visit often when you have time."
Chen Hai patted Zhou Shuo's shoulder and said, "Sister, are you interested in making a movie? My friend is planning to make a movie, and the female lead is still being auditioned. I think you are the perfect fit!"
Mu Ci pulled Zhou Shuo towards him, avoiding Chen Hai's claws, "Are you targeting me?"
Chen Hai smiled and gestured for the two designers to go with him. He only nodded slightly to Duan Si and Song Nan, and didn't even look at the others.
Song Nan's gaze remained on his back for a long time.
Mu Ci's expression turned cold again.
Mu En didn't seem to notice the change in atmosphere. He smiled and asked Zhou Le, "Aunt Zhou and sister are here to visit my sister-in-law, right? Why don't you stay for lunch? Our house hasn't been this lively for a long time!"
Duan Si reached out and hit his son on the head. "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Mu En covered his head with his hands, feeling aggrieved. "Mom! Don't hit me on the head. I'm not as smart as my brother, and you keep hitting me on the head! I'm stupid and it's all your fault."
Duan Si's expression softened, and although he looked at his son with a look of anger, it was gentle.
Mu Ci looked away.
The corners of Mu En's lips curled up slightly, with a hint of sarcasm in his lips, "How am I talking nonsense? Aren't these my sister-in-law's family members? They are legitimate relatives!"
Duan Si snorted coldly, "We still haven't figured out the dispute yet. One moment, we hear people say they severed their relationship, and the next, we hear people say it's just a loving relationship. Who knows? This small family has so many dirty things going on!"
Duan Si was so angry that he wanted to vent it all, so he started to act sarcastic.
Mu Chen stood up and said calmly, "Mu Ci, this is your family affair, you can handle it yourself."
"Okay, grandpa." Mu Ci nodded slightly.
Mu Chen didn't say anything to the Zhou mother and daughter and just walked away.
At this point, how could Shen Yu dare to say anything? The most important thing now is to keep the 20 million business.
But Zhou Le was thinking, with Mu En here, even if the Zhou family didn't have this 20 million, they would definitely have another 20 million! The most important thing at the moment was to make Mrs. Mu have a good impression of her, so that her chances of success would be greater.
For such a wealthy and prestigious family, it is not enough for a daughter-in-law to only win the heart of her husband. Zhou Shuo has obviously failed, and she must not follow in his footsteps.
So, she bit her lip and looked at Mu Ci pitifully, "Brother-in-law, we really want my sister to be happy. No matter how difficult it is, my father and brother will never trade my sister's life for our family's present stability."
She looked at Zhou Shuo again, tears already falling. "Sister, please don't be angry with us anymore. We are a family after all! You are the Zhou family's biological daughter! Mom, Dad, and Brother treat me, their adopted daughter, as their own. How could they ignore you, their biological daughter? Sister, we are a family, there is no overnight hatred. Any decision Mom and Dad make is for our own good. Look at you now, aren't you and your brother-in-law getting along well? Don't be angry anymore, okay?"
Even Duan Si was moved by the tears and sobs.
Song Nan watched coldly, but his eyes were fixed on Mu En.
Mu En's gaze secretly turned to Mu Ci and Zhou Shuo.
Zhou Shuo was obviously shocked by Zhou Le's performance. Deep down, she knew that Zhou Le was just acting. Although she had only been in the Zhou family for more than a month, this sister who had no blood relationship with her had caused unrest in the Zhou family. At one point, Zhou Shuo felt that she was occupying someone else's position and was an invader.
Zhou Le went to great lengths to drive her out, so what is he trying to do now?
