"It's alright if it isn't; it's fortunate!"
Chu Tianxing spoke without any politeness, his face full of smiles.
"What do you mean 'luckily'! I was a beauty in Jincheng back in the day, you know!"
"Look at yourself now, do you look any different from how you did back then?"
"Forehead."
Lin Jianguo patted his increasingly plump belly and touched his nose sheepishly: "It's just that life has been too carefree since we got married."
Unlike the Chu family, the Lin family had a rule that the younger generation had to join the army. However, the young and impetuous Lin Jianguo, unable to tolerate Lin Yaodong and the other scoundrels' bullying, resolutely chose to join the army to escape the family's internal strife.
As a result, Lin Jianguo, who originally had the personality of a scholar, became a brute after returning under the influence of Mu Lixiong. He seized the position of family head with ruthless methods and led the Lin family to greatness once again.
Otherwise, if Lin Yaodong and his ilk had continued to be the heads of the family, the Lin family would probably be in the same situation as the Liu family by now—those who should be executed would be executed, and those who should be imprisoned would be imprisoned.
"No, Lao Lin, I really want to ask you, how could you lose your son and not find him for so many years? If it weren't for Brother Mu, your beautiful son might already be..."
Chu Tianxing didn't say what followed, but the meaning was clear.
Hearing his son's name mentioned, Lin Jianguo's face became embarrassed again: "Alas, it's my fault for ruining my son. If I hadn't shown any mercy to that bastard Lin Yaodong, I wouldn't have been threatened by him for so many years."
"Xiaoyun, it's really tough being your son. If he were my child, I don't know how I would cherish him."
"It's alright, you still have a chance. Anyway, your daughter is determined to marry my son."
"wrong!"
Chu Tianxing's voice suddenly rose: "My daughter, she will only marry your son!"
"What do you mean! My Lin family's son will never be a son-in-law of your Chu family!"
Hehe~
"you!"
"You guys make me feel a few years younger."
Watching Lin Jianguo and Chu Tianxing bicker, Mu Lixiong felt as if he had returned to more than ten years ago, when he was still a soldier and had a wife by his side.
Upon hearing this, Chu Tianxing and Lin Jianguo fell silent, a rare occurrence for them. They knew that Mu Lixiong was not reminiscing about his younger self, but rather about the people who had been by his side during his youth.
"The world is so big, yet so small."
"Speaking of which, we call Brother Mu 'brother,' and Xiaoyun calls him 'grandpa.' When we become in-laws, how will we address each other?"
"That's easy! You just call Brother Mu 'Uncle' and me 'Little Uncle,' and that's it!"
"Go to hell!"
"Whatever, I'm into them all!"
...
...
After hanging up the phone with her grandfather, Mu Liuyun ate the egg pancake with increasing joy, taking big bites and stuffing her cheeks until they were bulging.
This somewhat unconcerned attitude, coupled with his cute face, only made him seem more playful. Several joggers who were secretly watching Mu Liuyun were so engrossed in watching that they even started to trip and fall on flat ground without looking where they were going.
The rest of them couldn't help but swallow hard, and then went up to buy a few servings of egg pancakes.
(Street vendor: Did I hit the jackpot?)
(Mu Liuyun: You also want to be reborn?)
"Heh, isn't this my silly onii-chan?"
Just as Mu Liuyun was happily stuffing an egg into her mouth, a familiar, instantly repulsive voice came from behind her.
Immediately, Mu Liuyun deflated like a punctured balloon, and even the egg pancake in her hand didn't taste good anymore.
“Du Ziyan…”
The tall figure walking towards them from behind, with a confident and mocking expression on his face, could only be Du Ziyan, Du Shang's son.
To Mu Liuyun's surprise, Du Ziyan's mental state had improved a lot in the few months since she last saw him. He no longer looked like he had been drained of his energy by alcohol and women, but instead looked quite energetic.
"Oh, so you're really poor, eating this kind of stuff for dinner? It breaks my heart to see you like this, little brother~ Big brother, go home and eat something. Even if it's leftovers that were going to be thrown away, it's still better than this~"
Residents of the surrounding villa area: ? ? ?
Hearing this mockery, which she had heard countless times before, Mu Liuyun didn't feel angry at all; instead, she was somewhat puzzled.
What's going on? How dare he say that? Isn't he afraid of the Lin family?
Oh, he probably doesn't know that I'm from the Lin family.
That's not surprising, not surprising at all.
Mu Liuyun was unaware that Du Ziyan knew his identity, but she wasn't worried at all. Wasn't all that her mother had sacrificed just so that he could continue to flaunt his power in front of Mu Liuyun?
"Thank you for your concern, little brother. But you look much better, little brother. What's wrong? Have you been drinking a lot of kidney tonics lately?"
As soon as Mu Liuyun finished speaking, the perverts around her, who were pretending to be passersby but had an eye for beauty, burst out laughing.
Du Ziyan's face immediately turned a deep purplish-red, and he angrily retorted, "What kidney tonic? I don't need it! I'm... quitting, quitting lust..."
When Du Ziyan started speaking, he was full of confidence, but his voice grew softer and softer as he spoke. Mu Liuyun was shocked to see this.
I was right.
However, in reality, Mu Liuyun was only half right.
Du Ziyan didn't take any kidney tonics; he genuinely abstained from sex, albeit under duress.
This story begins two weeks ago, when Zhen Shanmei went to eat at a white restaurant for the sake of the Du family's future, leaving Du Ziyan and Du Shang at home staring at each other.
Du Shang trembled with regret at the thought that his wife would have to make such a sacrifice because of his series of wrong decisions.
Du Ziyan was also trembling, but for a slightly different reason.
When he saw his mother, Zhen Shanmei, return home, her pale and disoriented appearance...
Especially when Du Ziyan saw the long, white downy hair around her mouth, he was even more...
Recalling that scene now, Du Ziyan finally felt his body begin to stiffen...
"Damn it! What have you made me remember?!"
Du Ziyan, his face growing increasingly red, glared at Mu Liuyun and suddenly raised his hand to slap Mu Liuyun across the face.
Mu Liuyun's eyes narrowed instantly. She stepped aside and slapped Du Ziyan across the face.
"snort!"
In all his years, apart from the slap Liu Leyao gave him, who else has ever hurt Mu Liuyun?
Mu Liuyun has always been quick-witted since childhood, and recently, under the tutelage of Chu Yaqin and others, her reaction speed has improved significantly. Although she is still not very strong, the slap was still quite humiliating, leaving Du Ziyan stunned on the spot.
"Chu Yaqin and Shen Lanxin only dared to spank them, how dare you, you brat!"
Upon hearing Mu Liuyun's words, Du Ziyan covered the five finger marks on his face in disbelief, and pointed a trembling finger at Mu Liuyun.
"You, you!"
"Damn Mu Liuyun, you just wait! Once Uncle Dong takes control of the Lin family, I'll surpass you a thousand times over, and that still won't be enough!"
Mu Liuyun also sneered twice: "I'll be waiting for that day!"
