The head of the Mu family now has a firm grip on the family. With a single command, his subordinates began to carry out their tasks in an orderly manner, and soon the room returned to its initial tranquility.
It was anything but calm. Everyone in the room was staring at Ah Ju with intense, burning eyes, making even the usually thick-skinned Ah Ju feel uneasy.
"Why are you all looking at me like that? Do you have some bad intentions?" Aju asked cautiously.
"No, no, we were deeply impressed by your bravery just now," an elder said obsequiously.
The head of the Mu family hurriedly said, "Thank you for your help, sir."
"It's nothing, just a small matter," Ah Ju said, trying to sound polite, but she quickly revealed her true colors, "Why don't you just say we're scammers?!"
Everyone blushed, and Aju continued, "To be honest, if it weren't for Xiaomu Bai's sake, who would bother with your family's trivial matters? I'm here to do great things across the Three Realms, Nine Heavens, and Ten Earths, not to meddle in your petty squabbles."
Once Aju started talking, her boasting grew louder and louder. Yan Lin, holding Ahua, couldn't help but cough a few times, and Aju immediately shut up.
Originally, the head of the Mu family did not take the ordinary Yan Lin and the silly-looking Ahua seriously. But now, no matter how you look at them, you feel that the two of them are shrouded in a noble and mysterious aura.
Although Ah Ju stopped speaking, everyone present was shrewd enough to see that Ah Ju liked to hear praise. One by one, the usually serious elders fawned over Ah Ju, making the atmosphere in the room very harmonious.
"What are you all saying that makes you so happy?" a loud female voice rang out.
The head of the Mu family immediately stood up, looking incredulously at the woman who was slowly walking towards him, "Tingting."
The head of the Mu family rushed forward and embraced his wife, looking her over thoroughly. After confirming that she was unharmed, he was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes. He held her tightly as if afraid that it was all an illusion.
"Dad, you're strangling my mother to death!" Mu Bai poked his little head out from behind and said.
"You brat, you're talking nonsense again," the head of the Mu family said, his face flushing red with embarrassment as he feigned anger after his son spoke to him like that.
Upon seeing Dongfang Mian standing next to Mu Bai, the head of the Mu family quickly stepped forward, bowed respectfully, and said, "Thank you, Miss Dongfang, for saving my wife's life."
Before he could finish speaking, he received a sharp rap on the head from the matriarch of the family. "What do you mean, 'Miss Dongfang'? How dare you speak to my master like that? Kneel down and call him Master! And you, Xiaobai, you're not allowed to call me Sister Mian anymore. You have to call me Grandmaster. Father and son have no manners at all."
"Master, Master?" The head of the Mu family stared wide-eyed at Dongfang Mian.
“Um…” Dongfang Mian also felt very embarrassed. She originally thought that the mistress of the family would be a gentle and refined person, but she didn’t expect that the mistress of the family would be a decisive and uncompromising person.
He had just saved her and explained what had happened when she immediately wanted to become his disciple, saying that she should repay his life-saving grace with all her heart. Since Dongfang Mian was not short of money, he would definitely fulfill his duties as a disciple and take good care of Dongfang Mian, which made Dongfang Mian want to run away at that moment.
When Dongfang Mian refused, the matriarch used her ultimate move. She and Mu Bai each grabbed one of Dongfang Mian's legs and begged her. Dongfang Mian immediately agreed.
Upon seeing the head of the Mu family, Dongfang Mian couldn't help but feel a sense of kinship.
