A bad feeling rose in Muguo's heart.
Sure enough, Xiao Qingxue walked gracefully to Xiao Jinyan's side, sat down next to him, and rested her head on his shoulder.
"Brother Jinyan, there are many things to do at the old man's birthday banquet, and Xue'er can't handle them all by herself. So, Brother Jinyan, could you send this ugly girl to me to help me?"
Ugly monster?
Before Xiao Jinyan could react to who the "ugly monster" she was referring to was, she heard Mu Guo behind her speak coldly.
"I'm not going."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Qingxue jumped up from the sofa and pointed at Mu Guo's nose, saying...
"How dare you! You're just a servant, what right do you have to speak here! Besides, you can only listen to my brother Jinyan. If he tells you to go, you have to go!"
This spoiled and willful behavior is truly speechless!
"My hands and feet are my own body, so of course I get to decide what to do. Besides, aren't you afraid I'll poison the old man's birthday banquet and kill you all?"
Mu Guo snorted coldly, a slight smile playing on her lips, her eyes flashing with a chilling light.
Xiao Qingxue swallowed hard, then realized what was happening and grabbed Xiao Jinyan's arm.
"Brother Jinyan, look at her! She's just a servant, yet she dares to talk to me like that. She doesn't respect you at all. She even said she'd poison the old man's birthday banquet and kill us all! I don't care, Brother Jinyan, you have to stand up for me!"
Xiao Jinyan felt annoyed by her shaking and secretly withdrew his hand, his face turning cold.
"She's immature and can't do anything. She won't be of any help at the old man's birthday banquet; in fact, she'll only cause trouble. Xue'er, you should choose someone else to help."
"No, I want her to help me, I want her to help me!"
"Xue'er, since Jinyan has said so, just listen to him. Grandpa's birthday banquet is approaching, and there are many things to do. If you delay any longer, it might be too late."
Wen Qingwan tried her best to maintain the demeanor of a well-bred young lady, and every word she uttered was perfectly chosen, leaving no room for criticism.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Qingxue pouted and looked at Xiao Jinyan, who had no expression on his face. Seeing that he showed no sign of relaxing, she could only nod helplessly with a long face.
"Alright then, Brother Jinyan, I'll get back to work now."
"Hmm~"
Xiao Qingxue reluctantly walked back, but halfway there, she turned back to look at Mu Guo, raised her chin as if in a show of defiance.
Seeing Xiao Qingxue leave, Wen Qingwan seemed relieved and took a small step forward.
"Jinyan, you..."
"Sister-in-law, given your current status, you should call me elder brother."
Xiao Jinyan's expression was not good at all, and he didn't even look at Wen Qingwan properly.
Upon hearing this, Wen Qingwan's face turned deathly pale, and her eyes, brimming with tears, flickered, giving her a pitiful and endearing appearance.
After a long while, he bit his lip until it turned white, but he still couldn't bring himself to say "Big Brother".
"I... I have something to do, I'll be going now."
After saying that, she hurriedly walked out. Her delicate body swayed a few times, looking as if she was about to collapse.
"Tsk tsk, what a ruthless killer. He doesn't even spare his own sister and sister-in-law."
Mu Guo watched Wen Qingwan's delicate figure disappear into the distance, and couldn't help but scoff.
Xiao Jinyan, who was sitting on the sofa, got up and walked to her side, then put his arm around her neck.
