Old Lady Mu was getting older, and sometimes she inevitably lacked the strength to follow through, so as a grandson, Mu Xiaodong naturally had to be more thorough and protect his father’s love.
A gift for meeting?
Hearing this, Old Lady Mu frowned subtly.
Lin Guixiang really had some skills.
Not only had she bamboozled his son into following her around, but now even her grandson had prepared a gift for meeting her. freёwebnovel.com
Old Lady Mu suppressed the displeasure in her heart, "Still, Xiaodong, you are thoughtful!"
"This is what I should do," Mu Xiaodong continued, "I will go upstairs now."
"Mmm, go ahead," Old Lady Mu nodded.
Watching Mu Xiaodong’s figure disappear on the third floor, Mu Xiaoxiao immediately took the jewelry box from Old Lady Mu’s hand, "Let me see what kind of earrings my brother has prepared for that woman!"
With those words, Mu Xiaoxiao opened the lid of the jewelry box.
Inside the red velvet box lay a pair of vividly enchanting jade earrings, each as big as a pigeon’s egg and surrounded by tiny diamonds, luxurious and ostentatious.
Mu Xiaoxiao slightly frowned, "My brother really went all out!"
Such a grade of jade earrings would start at least at one hundred thousand in the market.
Actually, it was quite normal for wealthy families to send such gifts.
But what was Lin Guixiang?
She was just a rural woman who could not show her face in public.
Did she deserve to wear such expensive jade jewelry?
Old Lady Mu’s expression also turned sour.
Mu Xiaoxiao continued, "Grandma, you see? Now even my brother has been bought by that woman. There isn’t even anything official between them yet, and she’s already reaching into our family. If she truly becomes involved with my dad, I’m afraid there won’t even be a place for you in this home."
Mu Xiaodong was also a fool.
Unable to distinguish between good and bad.
He actually tolerated his father being with that kind of woman.
Does he not have a brain?
Didn’t he know Lin Guixiang was after the Mu Family’s money?
With a cold snort, Old Lady Mu declared, "As long as I am here, that woman shall not step even one foot inside our Mu Family’s door."
Hearing this, Mu Xiaoxiao narrowed her eyes.
Meanwhile,
Mu Baicheng arrived at Zheng Niannian’s residence.
Zheng Niannian did not expect Mu Baicheng to come so quickly, "Brother Baicheng, you’ve taken the trouble to come. I didn’t want to bother you, but the technician responsible for our home’s utilities had to return to his hometown today, and I couldn’t find anyone else to help on such short notice..."
By the end, her face showed an embarrassed expression.
"No worries," Mu Baicheng responded, "It’s just a small effort, which light bulb is the problem? Let me have a look."
"It’s the bedroom light bulb that’s broken, come with me," Zheng Niannian continued.
"Alright." Mu Baicheng nodded and followed Zheng Niannian to the bedroom.
The bedroom was very clean.
Zheng Niannian pressed the switch, "Brother Baicheng, look, it’s strange, the light was fine last night, but it’s broken this morning when I got up."
Mu Baicheng looked up, "It could be the filament burned out, do you have a spare bulb? I’ll change it and see."
"Yes, just a moment."
As she spoke, Zheng Niannian turned to get the bulb, and Mu Baicheng moved a chair over and took down the broken bulb.
Just as the broken bulb was removed, Zheng Niannian came with a new bulb, stood on her tiptoes and handed it to Mu Baicheng, "Brother Baicheng, here."
At that moment, she suddenly felt that having a man in the house was really nice.
Especially since Mu Baicheng himself was exceptionally capable.
And his children were also easy to get along with.
Mu Baicheng took the bulb and quickly installed it, "Go press the switch and try it."
"Okay," Zheng Niannian nodded and walked to the wall to press the switch.
Click.
The light turned on.
Zheng Niannian covered her mouth in surprise, "Brother Baicheng, you are amazing! I couldn’t fix it all morning, and you’ve solved it in less than three minutes."
"Just common knowledge, nothing special," Mu Baicheng replied, then took a business card from his pocket, "Miss Zheng, this is my assistant’s card; it has his contact info. If you have any trouble next time, just contact him directly."
Upon hearing this, Zheng Niannian was startled.
What did Mu Baicheng mean?
Giving her a business card?
Did he no longer want to keep in touch with her?
Or was it that Mu Baicheng was naturally like this, not knowing how to interact with the opposite sex?
After a moment, she took the business card from Mu Baicheng’s hand, "Thank you, Brother Baicheng."
"You’re welcome." Mu Baicheng adjusted his sleeves and continued, "I’ll be heading back now."
Heading back?
Zheng Niannian had finally managed a pretext to be alone with Mu Baicheng and naturally did not want to let him leave just like that, "Brother Baicheng, since you’ve helped me out so much, why don’t you stay for dinner?"
