Chapter 137: More Failure Than Success
"Don't fight and don't disturb them." As Zhu Ying finished speaking, Mu Yunzhu hurriedly stopped her.
"I'm just asking, how could I possibly disturb them?" Mu Lingfeng left early tonight, which made Zhu Ying not have a good time. Now she finally found a way to clear Mu Lingfeng's name, and she didn't want to give up.
"How dare you say that? If you hadn't gone to your grandmother to talk about Yun Jin last time, how could your grandmother be so anxious to help Ling Feng find a girlfriend? You are really more of a hindrance than a help."
Looking at Zhu Ying, Mu Yunzhu accused her.
"Dad, you see Mom is always leaning against me. Not only does she always protect Mu Lingfeng, but now she's even saying that I'm more of a hindrance than a help. Dad, please take care of Mom."
Hearing Mu Yunzhu say that about her, Zhu Ying started to act coquettishly in front of Zhu Dongpeng.
"Your father dares to say that to me, he must be planning a rebellion." Mu Yunzhu stared at Zhu Dongpeng and said domineeringly.
Hearing this, Zhu Dongpeng touched his nose lightly, looked at his phone, and ignored Zhu Ying.
Seeing that Zhu Dongpeng didn't help her, Zhu Ying pouted and was about to speak, but she heard Mu Yunzhu say again: "Xiaoying, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you're not young anymore, you should be more mature when considering things."
"If you can't live with Wentao, then divorce him as soon as possible. What's the point of you dragging it on like this?"
Seeing that Mu Yunzhu was pointing the finger at her marriage, Zhu Ying lost the desire to continue the conversation and she found an excuse to leave.
"I've told you many times that the child is grown up and will think about her own affairs clearly. You don't have to worry about her." After Zhu Ying left, Zhu Dongpeng couldn't help but blame Mu Yunzhu.
"You think I want to talk about this with her? I just don't want to see her continue to suffer. You said this kid was really something. Why did she choose Wentao when there were so many good young men around her?"
"I'm not saying that Wentao is bad, but I always feel that Xiaoying doesn't really love Wentao in her heart."
Staring towards the gate, Mu Yunzhu's face was filled with worry.
"Okay, okay, Xiaoying knows how to handle this matter herself, so you don't have to worry about her anymore." Seeing Mu Yunzhu worried about her daughter, Zhu Dongpeng kept comforting her.
Mu Yunzhu nodded helplessly at Zhu Dongpeng. Ever since Zhu Ying decided to marry Wentao, she no longer had the energy to worry about her marriage.
In the Blue Mountain Bay Apartment, Yun Jin waited for Mu Lingfeng to finish the bowl of noodles before asking tentatively, "Mr. Mu, did you eat your birthday cake tonight?"
"I blew out the candles but didn't eat the cake. You know I don't like sweets." Sitting opposite Yun Jin, Mu Lingfeng answered with a satisfied look on his face.
After eating a bowl of noodles, Mu Lingfeng felt his blood recover instantly, and he spoke with more strength.
"Oh." Hearing him say this, Yun Jin nodded slightly, with a hint of disappointment on her face.
Mu Lingfeng, who had been watching her, did not miss the changes in her expression. He stared at her and asked, "Why, did you prepare a birthday cake for me?"
Hearing him ask, Yun Jin smiled and nodded at first, then his expression darkened and he said, "I have prepared it, but since you don't like sweets, forget it."
"Don't waste it if you're ready. Even though I don't like sweets, I can still blow out birthday candles."
Mu Lingfeng's words made Yun Jin dazed for a moment. After she came to her senses, she first looked at the wall clock. It was still 10 minutes to 12 o'clock. Mu Lingfeng's birthday had not yet come, so it was reasonable to blow out the candles now.
Yunjin quickly got up and walked towards the kitchen.
A minute later, she came out holding a 6-inch birthday cake.
"Mr. Mu, I took into consideration that there are only two of us, so the birthday cake I bought is a little small. I hope you don't mind." Yun Jin knew that for rich people like Mu Lingfeng, birthday cakes would be at least three layers high. She made it clear because she was worried that the cake she bought would not be to Mu Lingfeng's liking.
"Indeed, this size is enough for two people. If it's bigger, it would be a waste. I don't want you, Secretary Yun, to spend money indiscriminately." Mu Lingfeng responded considerately.
Mu Lingfeng's words made Yun Jin's uneasy heart relax immediately.
"Mr. Mu, please blow out the candles." Yun Jin urged Mu Lingfeng, lighting the candles quickly.
There are three minutes left until 12 o'clock. Yun Jin must let Mu Lingfeng blow out the candle before 12 o'clock, otherwise it will be meaningless.
Mu Lingfeng smiled at her and blew out the candles on the cake in one breath.
"Mr. Mu, happy birthday!" Yun Jin said to him with a smile after Mu Lingfeng blew out the candles.
There was another sentence that Yun Jin didn't dare to say.
"Thank you!" Mu Lingfeng said as he cut the cake.
After the cake was cut, Mu Lingfeng put a piece on the plate: "Secretary Yun, eat the cake."
"Thank you, Mr. Mu." Yun Jin took the plate, lowered his head, and started eating in silence.
It's really boring to eat cake alone.
"Secretary Yun, judging from your expression, this cake doesn't seem to be delicious." After sitting aside and watching Yun Jin for a while, Mu Lingfeng spoke.
"No, this cake shop has the best reputation in Binhai and the taste is very good." Yun Jin hurriedly explained, not wanting Mu Lingfeng to think that the cake she bought was not good.
In order to buy this birthday cake, Yun Jin started making a reservation a few days in advance and almost got it. With such a busy store, how could the taste be bad?
"Hearing what you said, I'd like to try it and see if it's really as good as you say." Mu Lingfeng said as he put a piece of cake on a plate.
After watching Mu Lingfeng spit out a bite of cake, Yun Jin asked as if offering a treasure: "How is it? Is it delicious?"
"It's really good!" Mu Lingfeng nodded in praise.
His words made Yun Jin laugh, and she ate the cake faster.
"Mr. Mu, if you don't like it, don't eat it anymore." Seeing Mu Lingfeng finish one piece and then serve another one, Yun Jin began to persuade him.
Mu Lingfeng shook his head and responded: "Don't worry, I didn't force myself. This cake tastes really good, so I ate more."
His words made Yun Jin feel relieved.
In order to wait for Mu Lingfeng, Yun Jin had not eaten anything before. Soon, a 6-inch cake was finished by her and Mu Lingfeng together.
"It's getting late. I should go home." After eating the cake, Mu Lingfeng looked at the time and said goodbye.
"Mr. Mu, are you sober? Do you need me to take you home?" Yun Jin asked worriedly when she heard that Mu Lingfeng was about to leave.
"Don't worry, I'm fine now. Besides, I'll be even more worried if you send me home and then come back." Mu Lingfeng refused Yun Jin's request to send him home.
Knowing that Mu Lingfeng was right, Yun Jin did not insist any further. She just reminded him before he left and let him know that he was safe when he got home.
Half an hour later, Mu Lingfeng sent a message to tell Yun Jin that he had arrived home safely.
After reading the message, Yun Jin felt very tired and fell asleep soon after going to bed.
The next day at noon, Zhu Ying asked Yun Jin to have dinner together in the evening. She felt that the other party might want to find out about Mu Lingfeng's visit to her house last night, but Yun Jin could not find a reason to refuse and could only agree to the appointment.
Just after hanging up Zhu Ying's phone, Yang Qianqian called in. The other party said excitedly on the phone: "Xiao Jin, I'll give you a chance to meet the actress. Do you want it?"
