Chapter 263 You Will Regret Today’s Decision
However, don't think that I, Meng Qian, must be with you, Mu Lingfeng. The world is long and we will see. You will definitely regret your decision today.
"Qianqian, why are you standing there? Why don't you wish a happy new year to all the elders?" Seeing Meng Qian standing there in a daze, Mrs. Meng immediately understood what her daughter was thinking, and she spoke up to remind Meng Qian.
Meng Qian came back to her senses and smiled sheepishly at everyone, "I didn't see Grandma Mu just now, and I was a little surprised."
Everyone could see that Meng Qian was lying, but no one pointed it out.
Next, Meng Qian greeted the elders of the Mu family one by one, and Mu Shaoqing and Zhu Ying, the younger generations of the Mu family, also greeted Meng Haowen and his wife respectively.
"Is Madam Mu free? We were thinking of going to pay her New Year's greetings." After both parties had paid their New Year's greetings, Meng Haowen asked.
"My mother recites scriptures in the ancestral hall. She does this every New Year's Day and has been doing so for many years."
Mu Chengkun explained to Meng Haowen.
Everyone who is familiar with the Mu family is aware of Old Lady Mu's habit, so people in Beijing basically don't come to the Mu family to pay New Year's greetings on the morning of New Year's Day.
It is understandable that Meng Haowen and his family have always lived in the coastal area and are not aware of this custom.
"I'm really sorry. We were too abrupt and shouldn't have come here today." After listening to Mu Chengkun's explanation, Meng Haowen immediately blamed himself.
After saying that, Meng Haowen glanced at Meng Qian calmly.
Meng Qian understood that Meng Haowen was blaming her. If she hadn't insisted on coming over this morning to wish the Meng family a happy new year, Meng Haowen would definitely not have left his relatives in Binhai and come all the way to Beijing.
Unexpectedly, after arriving, she did not see the man she had been thinking about day and night. Meng Qian felt that what she had done this time was not worth it.
"It's okay, you didn't know about this in advance." Facing Meng Haowen's self-blame, Mu Chengkun persuaded with a smile.
Over there, Mu Yunzhu said, "On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Mr. Meng's family must have a lot of guests. Why do you have the mood to come to Beijing?"
"We have a relative in Beijing. He won't be returning to Binhai this year due to health reasons. As the younger generation, we are the only ones who can come to visit him."
"Since I'm in Beijing now, I might as well come and visit Madam Mu and everyone else. I didn't expect the timing would be so unfortunate."
Meng Haowen gave the reason he had thought of in advance.
Mu Yunzhu looked at Meng Haowen and nodded with a smile. She knew very well why the Meng family came here so early in the morning. However, Ling Feng's heart was not on Meng Qian at all, so it seemed that their trip was in vain.
"Why isn't Ling Feng here?" After a few pleasantries, Mrs. Meng asked on behalf of her daughter.
"Ling Feng has something to do upstairs." Hearing the other party asking about the real purpose, Mu Yunzhu continued to respond with a smile.
"This Ling Feng is really ignorant. He knew that Mr. Meng's family was coming to visit, but he still ran upstairs on purpose. Aunt Zhang, go call him down."
Mu Chengkun, who was standing aside, was afraid that the world would not be in chaos, so he acted like the head of the family and gave instructions to the servants around him.
Meng Qian didn't care when Mu Chengkun said this. She had already guessed that Mu Lingfeng was deliberately trying to snatch her away.
However, Mr. Meng and his wife's expressions suddenly turned very ugly. This Mu Lingfeng really didn't take them seriously.
"Second brother, Lingfeng said he had something to do before he left. Why are you doing this?" Seeing that Mu Chengkun had bad intentions, Mu Yunzhu had to speak up for Mu Lingfeng.
"What could possibly have to be done on New Year's Day?" Mu Yunzhu had just finished speaking when Mu Chengkun's wife Lu Feng immediately started to sneer.
Seeing that the couple wanted to deliberately intensify the conflict between Mu Lingfeng and Meng Haowen's family, Mu Yunzhu was very anxious, but didn't know what to say to refute them.
The atmosphere in the living room suddenly became a little depressing.
Seeing that Mu Chengkun and Mu Yunzhu disagreed, Aunt Zhang stood where she was, not daring to act rashly.
"Since Ling Feng is busy, let's not disturb him." Meng Qian's words eased the originally depressing atmosphere.
After saying that, Meng Qian looked at Mu Shaoqing and said, "Shaoqing, as the host, are you willing to take me, your guest, around for a walk?"
Meng Qian's words made Mu Shaoqing ecstatic. He immediately responded, "Of course I am willing. I would love to serve Miss Meng."
The Meng couple stared at Meng Qian in confusion, not understanding what their daughter was doing.
Mu Chengkun and his wife were very happy after hearing Meng Qian's words. If they could win over the Meng family, they would have a better chance of dealing with Mu Lingfeng.
"Shaoqing, please take Qianqian around for a walk." Thinking of this, Mu Chengkun hurriedly urged Meng Shaoqing. In order to show affection, Mu Chengkun even changed the way he addressed Meng Qian.
Hearing Mu Chengkun calling Meng Qian like this, Mu Shaoqing immediately understood and called Meng Qian, "Qianqian, let's go."
Meng Qian smiled at Mu Shaoqing, and walked out of the house under his guidance.
"Qianqian, I never thought that you would let me take you on a tour." Walking on the path leading to the garden, Mu Shaoqing couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart.
"Why?" Meng Qian blinked her big eyes and looked at Mu Shaoqing, pretending to be puzzled.
"Everyone says that you like Mu Lingfeng. Before, grandma wanted to bring you and Mu Lingfeng together."
Looking at Meng Qian, Mu Shaoqing explained embarrassedly.
"What everyone said was not what I said. Besides, it was your grandmother and my father who wanted to bring me and Mu Lingfeng together. It was not my idea at all."
"Besides, Mu Lingfeng already has a girlfriend. How could I possibly do something that would destroy someone else's relationship?"
Meng Qian said softly, a little displeased.
"So according to you, you have never liked Mu Lingfeng at all?" Mu Shaoqing suppressed the ecstasy in his heart and asked a question he really wanted to know.
Meng Qian looked at Mu Shaoqing and nodded slightly.
"In that case, Qianqian, do you think I have a chance?" Meng Qian's reaction made Mu Shaoqing more and more excited.
"What opportunity? I don't understand?" Meng Qian pretended not to understand.
"Qianqian, I have always liked you and I want to be your boyfriend. Are you willing to give me this chance?" Mu Shaoqing seized the opportunity and expressed his inner thoughts.
"That depends on your performance." Meng Qian lowered her head and said shyly.
"I will definitely perform well and will definitely satisfy you." Seeing that Meng Qian did not refuse, Mu Shaoqing said while grabbing one of Meng Qian's hands.
After pretending to struggle for a few times, Meng Qian let Mu Shaoqing hold her hand.
On the way back, Mu Shaoqing kept holding Meng Qian's hand.
"What are you doing?" Mrs. Meng asked puzzledly as she watched the two of them walk into the house hand in hand.
"Auntie, Qianqian has agreed to be my girlfriend." Mu Shaoqing explained to everyone with a smile.
On the side, Meng Qian nodded in agreement, proving that Mu Shaoqing was not talking nonsense.
Upon hearing this, the happiest people were Mu Chengkun and his wife.
With this relationship, Mu Chengkun insisted on inviting Meng Haowen and his family to have lunch.
During the dinner, Old Lady Mu was very happy to learn that Meng Qian and Mu Shaoqing were in love, and she kept teaching Mu Shaoqing to be nice to Meng Qian.
Mu Lingfeng, who came down from upstairs to eat, was completely indifferent when he learned that Meng Qian and Mu Shaoqing were together.
Not getting the desired effect, Meng Qian became a little regretful, and thought to herself again: Mu Lingfeng, you will regret your decision sooner or later.
After seeing off Meng Haowen and his family, Mu Yunzhu came to Mu Lingfeng's room and said straight to the point: "Lingfeng, Mu Shaoqing and Meng Qian being together will be very disadvantageous to you."
"Aunt, don't worry. I never thought of relying on the power of the Meng family before, so now I won't be afraid of them being together."
Understanding that Mu Yunzhu was doing this for his own good, Mu Lingfeng comforted her.
"But if this happens, Mom will definitely lean towards your second uncle, which will be very disadvantageous to you."
Although Mu Lingfeng said it lightly, Mu Yunzhu still couldn't let go of her worry about him.
"Grandma values ability. With my ability, I believe that even if my second uncle and his men win over the Meng family, it will not have much impact on me. Aunt, you have to have confidence in me, your nephew."
Mu Lingfeng looked at Mu Yunzhu with a smile and comforted her again.
Seeing that Mu Lingfeng had said this, Mu Yunzhu didn't know what to say. She nodded and said firmly, "Aunt believes in your ability. If you encounter any trouble in the future, you must tell me the first time. I will try my best to help you."
"I have something to trouble you with, aunt." Mu Lingfeng continued with a smile.
