There was nothing that could be done about it; after all, Mu Liuyun was about to leave, and everyone inevitably felt a sense of reluctance to part with her.
Mu Jianghe also did not plan to return to Jincheng, because after so long, he had already settled down here.
However, he still specifically instructed Mu Liuyun that if Old Man Mu returned, she should inform him, and he would bring Sun Xingmin back to visit him.
Upon hearing Mu Jianghe mention Old Man Mu, Mu Liuyun suddenly realized that it had been almost half a month since she last spoke to him on the phone!
So, while Sister Wang and the others were enthusiastically drinking and bragging, Mu Liuyun, who was known as "Jincheng's one-cup wonder," quietly picked up her phone and slowly walked out of the courtyard.
Under the starry sky, he gently pressed the dial button and called Old Man Mu, who was far away.
"Hey, Grandpa~~"
Perhaps because she hadn't spoken to her grandfather on the phone for so long, Mu Liuyun unconsciously used a soft and slightly coquettish tone the moment she opened her mouth.
His voice was like a gentle spring breeze, drifting softly into the other end of the phone.
However, Old Man Mu on the other end of the phone seemed completely unresponsive, even letting out a cold snort: "Hmph, you actually still remember having a grandfather like me!"
From his slightly dissatisfied words, it was clear that he was quite bothered by the fact that he hadn't contacted him for a long time.
Hearing her grandfather's response, Mu Liuyun quickly explained, "Oh, Grandpa, don't be angry. I've just been too busy with so many things these past few days, that's why I haven't been able to call you sooner."
As he spoke, his tone became increasingly humble, an attitude he had never shown when facing Old Man Mu.
At this moment, Old Man Mu, who had been keeping a tight face on the other end of the phone, finally couldn't hold back any longer. He slightly raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a barely perceptible smile.
However, he still wouldn't let it go, saying, "Alright, alright, I'll be magnanimous and let's not hold this against you for now. Tell me, how are things going with those girls?"
Mu Liuyun was taken aback by her grandfather's sudden question and blurted out, "Huh? Old man Mu, how do you know about this?"
His words were full of surprise and doubt.
"Huh? You let it slip?"
Old Mu's voice first revealed a hint of barely perceptible annoyance, but it vanished in an instant, replaced by a matter-of-fact tone: "Of course I know, it was me who sent them to find you."
Upon hearing this, Mu Liuyun's eyes widened immediately: "You old rascal, you actually did this kind of dirty trick behind my back!"
However, in the face of Mu Liuyun's accusation, the old man Mu waved his hand dismissively and said with a grin, "Hey, hey, hey, why are you swearing? What's wrong, are you unhappy?"
Chu Yaqin and Mu Xiaoxi had already reported their progress in their strategy to Mu Lixiong.
When asked this question by Old Man Mu, Mu Liuyun was speechless.
To be honest, it wasn't entirely unpleasant, but rather completely enjoyable, because...
Ahem, that's not important. He still strongly condemned Old Man Mu's actions.
"Hey, my little Yunzi, I've been there, I know what you're thinking. You're overthinking things, don't always act like you owe someone anything. With my grandson's beautiful face, they've clearly gotten a great deal, understand?"
After hearing these words, Mu Liuyun was speechless for a moment.
Although she knew that Old Man Mu was always unconventional, this unique way of thinking was still beyond her imagination and hard to accept.
So, he could only roll his eyes helplessly and choose to remain silent.
Afterwards, Mu Liuyun chatted with Old Man Mu for a long time, and he told Old Man Mu that he had found his family.
Faced with this earth-shattering news, Old Man Mu didn't say much. Instead, he lowered his voice, which was unusual for him, and said to Mu Liuyun with deep affection, "My child, no matter what, I will always be your Old Man Mu, little Yunzi."
Hearing this, Mu Liuyun felt a surge of warmth in her heart, and her eyes couldn't help but well up with tears.
When Old Man Mu heard the news, he was only happy for Mu Liuyun. He didn't worry about whether Mu Liuyun would still acknowledge him as her grandfather after finding her family.
He knew he wasn't that kind of person, and neither was Mu Liuyun. The child he had raised with all his heart was the best child in the world.
Then they talked about Mr. Mu's amazing life experience in the United States, from adapting to an unfamiliar environment to being able to communicate simply with people in English.
At the same time, the conversation also touched on Mu Jianghe. Mu Liuyun found Mu Jianghe and inquired about his well-being and career progress.
Of course, there's also Mu Pingxi, whom they've completely lost contact with, but neither of them knows where she is right now.
Before we knew it, the noisy sounds in the courtyard gradually quieted down, and when we looked up, the bright moon was already hanging high in the center of the sky.
At this moment, the moonlight fell on the earth like water, as if draping the whole world in a layer of silver gauze.
Mu Liuyun realized it was getting late and prepared to hang up the phone.
But before he could reach out his hand, a familiar voice suddenly came from nearby, calling out her name loudly.
"Mu Liuyun!"
Mu Liuyun was taken aback, and then looked in the direction of the sound. The scene in front of him surprised him and made him frown.
Suddenly, Liu Leyao appeared out of nowhere, standing there gracefully, her beautiful eyes fixed on him.
Liu Leyao was already strikingly beautiful, but under the moonlight, she possessed an even more ethereal, fairy-like quality.
But Mu Liuyun wasn't interested in the beautiful Mu Yue Tu at the moment; she was just a little puzzled.
What's going on? How did this woman find her way here?
Just as she was wondering, Mu Liuyun saw Wang Shirong standing next to Liu Leyao, looking apologetic.
"Oh, I see!"
Mu Liuyun nodded thoughtfully; that made sense.
During the period when he was still under that contract with Liu Leyao, he actually barely spoke a few words to Wang Shirong, at most they would nod to each other when they met.
However, unexpectedly, after that slap, he and Wang Shirong started communicating more. Although it was only on a chat app, the two became friends.
So when Wang Shirong asked about her recent situation some time ago, Mu Liuyun didn't hesitate to tell him honestly through Green Bubble.
Mu Liuyun slowly lowered her head, her gaze falling on the phone screen she was holding tightly in her hand. Only then did she realize that Wang Shirong had sent her a message half an hour earlier, but because he was busy talking on the phone with Old Man Mu at that time, he hadn't noticed the message at all.
However, on second thought, it doesn't seem to be anything of great importance.
So he gently shook his head and looked calmly at Liu Leyao: "Did you call me here for something?"
Seeing Mu Liuyun's indifferent expression, as if everything about her was irrelevant to him, Liu Leyao felt her breath catch in her throat, as if a huge rock was pressing down on her chest, heavy and uncomfortable.
Even though this wasn't the first time she had been treated so coldly by Mu Liuyun, Liu Leyao still couldn't help but feel an indescribable bitterness and loss every time she faced this situation.
However, even though she was extremely sad, Liu Leyao still managed to open her lips with difficulty: "Mu Liuyun, I have something to tell you."
In fact, Liu Leyao's visit was not an impulsive act without preparation. On the contrary, she had thought it over for a long time beforehand and firmly believed that as long as she could say the few words she had already prepared to Mu Liuyun, she would definitely be able to get the other party to obediently return to her side.
It can be said that Liu Leyao has found a sure-fire way to win Mu Liuyun's heart, and Chu, Chen, and Mu exclaimed that she is invincible.
"I don't want to hear it, thank you."
