Mu Guo hugged Mu Yao back and said softly, "I'm sorry, Daddy is late."
"Dad, my eldest brother brought his sister-in-law to dinner too. Isn't that a coincidence? We can meet like this. My sister-in-law is so beautiful!" Mu Yao was as happy as a blooming flower.
Lin Jun looked at Mu Ci cautiously: "Let's have dinner together."
Mu Ci said coldly: "No, I have reserved a seat."
After saying that, he pulled Zhou Shuo up and started the wheelchair.
"Brother..." The smile on Mu Yao's face disappeared, and she looked at Mu Ci cautiously.
"Would you please have dinner with us? I haven't chatted with my sister-in-law yet." She pleaded timidly.
Mu Ci's tone softened, "Next time I'll invite you and your sister-in-law to dinner alone."
After saying that, he left without looking back.
Zhou Shuo turned his head slightly and saw Mu Yao slowly lowering her head in disappointment, looking very sad.
Lin Jun nodded and smiled at Zhou Shuo apologetically.
Zhou Shuo already understood the complicated relationship between these characters.
She reached out and placed her hand on Mu Ci's shoulder.
After entering the private room, Mu Ci acted as if nothing had happened. He ordered the waiter to serve the dishes, personally served the soup to Zhou Shuo, and said in a gentle voice, "Try it and see if you like it."
Zhou Shuo took a sip of the soup and praised, "Wow, what a delicious soup!"
Mu Ci smiled and turned to the table, "If you like it, it's easy. We'll come here often in the future."
Zhou Shuo tilted his head and asked seriously, "Brother, don't you like the food I cook?"
Mu Ci was stunned for a moment: "No! I like it!"
Then he understood what she meant, smiled and patted her head, "I can't bear to have you cook for me every meal! I can eat normally now, why should I ask you to do this every day? Your time is already very tight."
Zhou Shuo's schoolwork was very stressful, and since he had chosen to study under Dr. Li, his workload was naturally many times that of others.
Zhou Shuo said: "It doesn't matter, time can always be squeezed out, as long as brother likes it."
Mu Ci picked up a piece of beef fillet for her with his chopsticks and said seriously, "No, I don't want you to be tired. Wouldn't it be nice for us to have a meal out like this in peace and quiet?"
Zhou Shuo picked up the beef fillet and ate it, nodding and smiling as he ate: "Oh, you think grandpa is too noisy! I'll go home and tell him!"
Mu Ci patted her and said, "How naughty!"
Looking at her, he smiled helplessly.
Zhou Shuo reached out and served Mu Ci a bowl of soup. "Brother, try it. It's really delicious."
The two of them fed each other in a harmonious atmosphere. Mu Ci seemed to have forgotten what had just happened. Zhou Shuo wanted to say something but stopped. She was curious but didn't want to make Mu Ci unhappy, so she didn't know whether she should ask or not.
"Mu Yao and I are half-siblings from the same father. Lin Jun is the woman my father is having an affair with. They have been together for many years." Mu Ci said calmly while drinking his soup.
Zhou Shuo was caught off guard and stood there in a daze.
"Lin Jun is an orphan who was fostered in her aunt's home when she was young. She studied hard and struggled all the way, and finally she had her own career. She is a well-known painter with her own art company and gallery, which has nothing to do with the Mu family's business. My father is deeply in love with her. She has always been content with her duties." Mu Ci narrated in a flat tone, and Zhou Shuo listened attentively.
"Thirteen years ago, my grandmother needed bone marrow because of a blood disease, but they couldn't find a suitable match. It was Mu Yao's umbilical cord blood that saved my grandmother and extended her life by six years. Lin Jun didn't use this as a threat, but simply said that she would save a stranger as well. She said that between her and my father, only love was involved, nothing else mattered. So Mu Yao was included in the family tree, but she won't be returning to the Mu family."
Zhou Shuo felt that this was a plot that could not even be written in a novel.
"This Ms. Lin Jun is quite remarkable." Zhou Shuo exclaimed.
Mu Ci glanced at her and said nothing.
Zhou Shuo stuck out his tongue, realizing he had spoken out of turn.
No matter how great Ms. Lin Jun is, she destroyed someone else's marriage, which is extremely immoral for Ms. Duan Si.
The door of the private room was gently pushed open.
Zhou Shuo thought it was a waiter, but when he turned around, he was surprised to find that it was Mu Yao.
She ran over quickly, took her arm, and smiled with her eyebrows curved. "I came to see you. I don't want to eat with mom and dad."
She sat down without waiting for invitation and said, "Let me see if you have anything delicious here."
Zhou Shuo quickly handed her a pair of serving chopsticks and asked, "What do you want to eat?"
Mu Yao took the chopsticks, but didn't pick up any food. Instead, she looked at Zhou Shuo, "Sister-in-law, you are so beautiful!"
This little girl is obsessed with looks.
Zhou Shuo smiled and said, "You are pretty too!"
"Only you are worthy of my elder brother!" Mu Yao said loudly.
Mu Ci passed a bowl of soup in front of her and said with a faint smile: "Hurry up and drink some soup, and stop flattering me!"
Mu Yao brought the bowl over and said with a pout, "I'm not trying to flatter you! Sister-in-law, are you good at math?"
Zhou Shuo was stunned. "What, mathematics?"
Mu Yao sighed, "I'm terrible at math. My mom said if I don't do well on the test, I'll have to go to jail. She found me a math tutor, but I don't like her. If you're good at math, could you be my tutor?"
Zhou Shuo and Mu Ci looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
"Why don't you like her?" Mu Ci asked.
"Oh, not only is she ugly, but she also keeps looking at Dad. Even though Dad is very old, my mom doesn't consider her a rival at all, but I really mind! I want to fire her, but if I say this reason, my mom will lecture me again."
The girl shrugged, "So, the best thing is if I can find a better one."
Zhou Shuo suppressed his laughter and said seriously, "But I'm not sure I can be better than your current teacher!"
"I'm sure!" Mu Yao patted his chest.
"Oh? How can you be sure?" Zhou Shuo looked at her with amusement.
"As long as I say you speak well, I will just improve a few points in the next exam. Before that, I will just do my best on the exam." Mu Yao said confidently.
Mu Ci and Zhou Shuo both looked at Mu Yao, speechless.
Mu Yao looked at the two of them, her face full of frustration as she acted coquettishly: "Brother, big brother, can you help me, sister-in-law? I'm so pitiful! You are such a good-looking person, you must have a kind heart. My big brother must have a good eye for people!"
Zhou Shuo sighed, "I'm starting to doubt my looks now. You said I'm pretty, but that might not be true. You just said it to achieve your goal."
"No, no, no, not at all! Sister-in-law, I am absolutely sincere when I say you are beautiful. I am just speaking the truth." Mu Yao said hurriedly.
But her face immediately fell, "But it's also true that I want to change my math teacher."
Zhou Shuo couldn't help but soften her heart, and she looked at Mu Ci.
Mu Ci said calmly, "Let's talk about it after we fail the exam."
Mu Yao was stunned for a moment, then she cheered and said, "I knew that big brother loves me the most! No, no, no, second, second, I'm second. Big brother loves you the most, sister-in-law!"
