Zhou Shuo was about to retort when Mu Ci stopped her.
"Mrs. Tian, didn't your family prepare dinner for the guests?" Mu Ci asked coldly.
Mrs. Tian hurriedly said, "Master, the food is ready, but Madam wants to wait for you and Madam to come back to eat together."
"Then let's set the table." Mu Ci ordered.
"Yes, young master!" Mrs. Tian felt as if she had been pardoned.
Zhou Shuo was not hungry, and silently pushed Mu Ci's wheelchair to the restaurant.
Duan Si came to the dining table with a dark face, gave Mu Ci and Zhou Shuo a cold look, and said to Tian Sao, "Why don't you bring up the gifts that others gave to your young master? How do you do things? Do you think you can embezzle the master's things?"
Mrs. Tian hurriedly brought a food box and put it on the dining table.
"What is this?" Mu Ci said lightly.
Mrs. Tian glanced at Duan Si, whose face was as dark as ink, and said softly, "This is the snack sent by Miss Mu Yao. She said she went to Jiuze Zhai to queue up and buy it for you and the young lady."
Mu Ci and Zhou Shuo finally understood where Duan Si's temper came from.
Duan Si took in their expressions and said coldly, "You are indeed my good son. Not only do you never take me seriously, but you are actually betraying me to this extent! Who is she? Who are you? Do you still have eyes for me as your mother? You actually had such an open relationship with them behind my back. Mu Ci, do you have any heart? Has your heart been eaten by dogs?"
Duan Si's tears streamed down and he couldn't stop crying.
Mu Ci sat quietly in the wheelchair, motionless.
But Zhou Shuo discovered that the veins on his hands holding the handrail were exposed.
She reached out and placed her hand over Mu Ci's, passing the warmth of her palm to him.
Song Nan glared at Mu Ci in anger and stepped forward to comfort Duan Si: "Auntie, you make Mu Ci feel wronged by saying this? This is a gift from Mu Yao, not something Mu Ci asked her to send. So Mu Yao wants to show her kindness to Mu Ci, what can Mu Ci do?"
"I believe that if Mu Ci was at home, he would definitely refuse to accept it, so Mu Yao sent it to him when he was not at home. You can't let Mu Ci be offended by such a small matter. He is your biological son. Even if you want to take it out on him, you can't just ignore him like this!"
Song Nan coaxed Duan Si in a soft voice.
These words touched his heart and made Duan Si's mood obviously calm down.
Zhou Shuo couldn't help but admire him.
She clearly felt that Song Nan was becoming different day by day.
"Really?" Duan Si asked Song Nan, but his eyes were looking at Mu Ci.
Song Nan laughed and said, "Why are you looking at Mu Ci like that? Don't you know his temper? In this moment of anger, he directly admitted that he was deliberately trying to irritate you. Auntie, calm down first and think about what I said. Is this the truth?"
Duan Si sobbed and found a way out. "For so many years, I endured it silently for the Mu family's reputation and for the dignity of the two brothers. Otherwise, how could I have allowed that vixen mother and daughter to get away with it? How much have I sacrificed for the Mu family? If even my own son betrays me, what's the point of living?"
Song Nan patted Duan Si's back to calm him down. "Auntie, please don't be like this. Calm down first. Or, you and Mu Ci should have a good talk. Mother and son, talk it out. Don't keep guessing and assuming things. It's easy to cause misunderstandings. I see you can't eat anymore. Why don't you let Mu Ci take you back to your room first?"
She winked at Mu Ci, and seeing that he didn't move, she came over and pushed Mu Ci's wheelchair, whispering, "Please, otherwise there will be no peace today."
Her voice was so low that only Mu Ci could hear it.
She pushed the wheelchair and caught up with Duan Si who stood up and walked out.
Zhou Shuo wanted to follow, but Song Nan smiled at her and said, "You should take care of these things first. I'll be here."
Mu Ci turned around to look at Zhou Shuo, but his view was blocked by Song Nan.
After the three of them left, Zhou Le said sweetly, "Sister, you're really capable. I didn't expect that you haven't even dealt with your own mother-in-law yet, but you're having a hot affair with your mistress's child. And you even delivered this gift to your door. Oh, I see. Sister, you did this on purpose, didn't you? Nothing is more effective than pissing off your mother-in-law like this."
Zhou Le covered his lips and smiled.
Shen Yu glared at Zhou Shuo and said, "You are really promising! You can come up with such a crooked idea! You really have a bad heart!"
Zhou Shuo was too lazy to talk to them and would not argue with fools!
Zhou Shuo reached out and opened the food box. Shen Yu and Zhou Le both stretched their necks to look over.
Zhou Shuo closed the lunch box and handed it to Xiao Ling, "Take it to the young master's study."
"Hey, how can this be? Didn't I ask you to deal with it? Why don't you understand? Why don't you throw it away quickly? Hurry up, throw it away, throw it away!" Shen Yu said anxiously.
Xiao Ling glanced at Zhou Shuo, who nodded, and Xiao Lun went upstairs with the lunch box.
"Why are you so ungrateful? You, is there something wrong with your brain?" Shen Yu stomped his feet in anger.
Zhou Le said, "Oh, Mom! Why are you so anxious? Can't you see that my sister is confident? My sister doesn't care how her mother-in-law feels!"
After saying that, Zhou Le glanced at Zhou Shuo with contempt.
Zhou Shuo didn't care at all. He clapped his hands and said, "You haven't eaten yet, have you? Then take your time and eat. You can plan again after you're full. That way you'll have more energy."
After saying that, she went straight upstairs.
It's annoying, but it's not like she doesn't know how to do that.
Although she had no feelings for her biological mother, she remembered her master's words and did not want to go too far.
As for Zhou Le, she was too lazy to argue with her.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she returned to the room, Zhou Le followed her.
"Sister, why are you so stingy? You won't even let Mom and I see your room? Poor Mom is always worried about you not living well in the Mu family! Tsk! The room of the eldest young master of the Mu family is just like this."
Zhou Le talked to himself, looking around their room as he spoke, with an unscrupulous look.
Zhou Shuo didn't say anything. He just stood at the door with his arms folded and looked at Zhou Le, wanting to see what she was going to do.
Zhou Le didn't care about Zhou Shuo's unwelcome attitude at all. She turned around and saw the wine cabinet that was converted into a medicine cabinet. She reached out and opened the glass door.
Zhou Shuo grabbed Zhou Le's wrist.
Zhou Le's expression changed, and he angrily asked, "What are you doing?"
Zhou Shuo exerted a little force, grabbed Zhou Le's wrist and pushed him out, then stood in front of the medicine cabinet and said coldly, "What do you want to do! This is Mu Ci and my room. You came in uninvited and rummaged through things. Aren't you the one who values manners the most? What? So you don't have manners? That's why you always pick on others?"
Zhou Le raised his chin and said contemptuously, "Look at your stingy look. What's so great about it? It's just a cabinet. I just think it doesn't fit in with the room at all, and I want to see what treasures are inside!"
Zhou Shuo's shamelessness in being able to make excuses to this extent is truly amazing.
"You said it's a treasure, so of course I can't show it to you!" Zhou Shuo simply agreed with her.
