Jian Yu raised an eyebrow, surprised that Mu Nannan would actually refuse.
Aunt Mu's eyes widened instantly, and she said sternly, "What's inconvenient about it? You're just jealous of Mingming."
Uncle Mu chimed in, "She always takes you with her when we go out to play, but you refuse to take her with you. How can you be so heartless?"
Mu Mingming's eyes reddened from what the two were saying. She wanted to say something in rebuttal, but didn't know what to say.
Jian Yu glanced at the old lady inside the door; she was also looking at Mu Nannan with a dissatisfied expression.
"Are you sure you've got something wrong?"
The Mu family of three were stunned. "What?"
"It was me who invited Nan Nan out. The decision of whether or not to add another person is mine, not yours as a couple."
The Mu family of three were stunned again, and Aunt Mu asked in disbelief, "What did you say?"
“I told you I’m not familiar with your daughter, so I won’t bring her.”
Press the glass button again.
The glass window rose rapidly, and Aunt Mu, afraid of getting her hand caught, quickly pulled it back.
George stepped on the gas and sped away.
The car drove two blocks away, and Mu Nannan still hadn't reacted.
This is the first time someone has said they came for her.
This was the first time someone had abandoned Mu Mingming for her sake.
Even her parents wouldn't care about her, or even care about Mu Mingming.
Mu Nannan's eyes welled up with tears, this time from emotion.
However, the feeling of being touched didn't last long, because Aunt Mu called.
Without even answering, Mu Nannan could guess what she was going to say.
The car is such a small space, the sound will definitely come out of the phone.
That way, Jianyu will hear it.
She refused.
Mu Nannan was afraid that Jian Yu would find it noisy, so she turned the phone to silent mode.
She kept calling her one after another, and Jian Yu was worried that her phone would run out of battery.
A dozen minutes later, the phone stopped lighting up.
Mu Nannan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Less than two minutes later, the screen lit up again. Mu Nannan looked at it and nervously didn't know where to put her hands.
Jian Yu asked, "Is your father very strict?"
Mu Nannan nodded.
"He'll yell at you?"
Mu Nannan nodded again.
Where is your mother?
"Mom can't argue with him."
Should I answer?
Mu Nannan shook her head, deciding not to answer.
Seeing her fidgeting, Jian Yu asked, "What kind of person is your father?"
Mu Nannan thought for a moment and replied, "Blindly filial piety."
After saying those two words, Mu Nannan seemed to have unloaded a burden, and poured out all the words that had accumulated in her heart over the years.
“In my dad’s eyes, my grandma and uncle’s family are very important, even more important than me. If I tell him that my grandma scolds me, he will say that I did something wrong. If I say that Mu Mingming bullied me, he will say that we are just kids and that we will grow up and he won’t let my mom get involved. Sometimes I get quite angry with him, but except for matters concerning my grandma and uncle’s family, he is very accommodating to me. My grandma wants my dad to transfer my allowance to her so that she can keep it. My dad did not agree, and my grandma has argued with him several times because of this, but he has not compromised. When I was little, he often carried me on his back and took me out to play whenever he had time, so I am very conflicted.”
Jian Yu listened quietly and silently handed Mu Nannan a tissue.
Mu Nannan took it, but didn't wipe away her tears. "I know they all think I'm stupid, and even if they say sarcastic things, I don't know how to refute them..."
Mu Nannan bit her lower lip, trying hard not to let her voice escape.
Jian Yu continued, "So they became even more outrageous, even trying to kick you out and take over your house or company."
Mu Nannan looked at Jian Yu in surprise, "How did you know?"
Grandma did say that Father should give half of his company shares to Uncle.
The company was built from scratch by Mom and Dad; it wasn't just Dad's business.
When her mother found out, she sternly refused.
Grandma threw a tantrum and made a huge scene.
Unable to secure the shares, he wanted his uncle and aunt to become managers in the company.
Two incompetent people joining the company will only cause trouble, won't they?
Mom was furious. If Dad hadn't stopped her, she would have kicked Uncle's family out.
Living in their house, yet coveting their property.
To appease his grandmother, Mu's father doubled the amount of living expenses he was giving to his uncle's family.
This was done without Mu's mother's knowledge.
Mu Nannan only learned about this after her parents died, from what Mu Mingming told her.
How did Jian Yu know all this?
Of course, it was what she heard when Mu Nannan was talking in her sleep in her past life.
Jian Yu said, "People like your uncle are not uncommon."
Mu Nannan frowned, seemingly deep in thought.
Jian Yu looked out the window and said, "There's an art exhibition up ahead. Let's go see it for a while! We can go somewhere else later."
Mu Nannan had no objection.
Jian Yu handed Mu Nannan a small mirror and a pack of wet wipes, "Wait a bit before you get off the bus!"
Mu Nannan nodded and took the small mirror.
Her eyes were a little red and swollen, and they needed time to go down.
Mu Nannan hadn't realized it before, but now that she saw George, she belatedly felt a little embarrassed.
I tilted my head and carefully wiped my eyes with a wet wipe.
Looking out the window casually, Mu Nannan was stunned for a moment. She rubbed her eyes and found that she wasn't seeing things.
Her hands trembled as she grabbed Jian Yu's arm. "Jian Yu, is that person Lu Wei?"
Jian Yu knew it was Lu Wei, but he couldn't recognize him directly at the moment.
"No way! They're so intimate, they're obviously a couple. They must be here to see the art exhibition."
"But he is Lu Wei."
Jian Yu then showed a hint of surprise, "It really is Lu Wei? What's going on? Why is he being all lovey-dovey with someone else?"
Jian Yu deliberately emphasized the tone of "kissing and cuddling".
Hearing this, Mu Nannan felt even more distressed.
"Hey! This girl's name seems to be Hu Die. I heard her grandfather was sick recently and needed a lot of money. Her family didn't have that much, so her boyfriend transferred 200,000 yuan for her treatment. Wait a minute, isn't Lu Wei from an average family? How come he had money to lend her?"
Upon hearing that it cost 200,000 yuan for medical treatment, Mu Nannan's face instantly turned pale. Lu Wei had borrowed 200,000 yuan from her, saying it was for her grandfather's medical expenses.
After she borrowed it, it became 500,000.
Was Lu Wei lying to her?
Mu Nannan pushed open the car door, rushed out, and shouted at the man and woman about to enter, "Lu Wei!"
People around looked toward the source of the loud noise, where a girl was crying.
Looking at the surprised-looking boy, everyone realized what was going on.
My gossipy nature ignited instantly...
Lu Wei shoved Hu Die aside and went to greet Mu Nannan, "Nannan, what brings you here? I just happened to be passing by and ran into my cousin."
"cousin?"
Mu Nannan paused, looking Hu Die up and down.
She is nearly 1.7 meters tall, has delicate features, and long, flowing hair. She would at least be considered the most beautiful girl in her department at school.
