Hearing Mu Baicheng’s anxious voice, Mu Xiaoxiao’s lips curled into a smug arc.
Indeed, experience comes with age.
Moments later, Mu Xiaoxiao continued, "Dad, we are now in Qing City. Originally, Grandma and I were planning to visit Aunt Lin, but unexpectedly, Aunt Lin spoke rudely to Grandma, and Grandma just, just fainted from anger..."
"Actually, it’s not really Aunt Lin’s fault; if anyone is to blame, it’s me for not being able to hold Grandma back. It’s my fault, Dad, I’m sorry."
By the end, Mu Xiaoxiao started crying out loud.
The more tragically she cried, the more Mu Baicheng would hate Lin Guixiang.
Upon hearing this, Mu Baicheng was initially stunned, then said, "Qing City? Xiaoxiao, didn’t you and your grandma say you were going to Wancheng to see your maternal great-aunt? Why did you suddenly go to Qing City?"
And even rashly met with Lin Guixiang.
Mu Xiaoxiao did not expect that her father’s first reaction would not be concern about why Old Lady Mu had been angered by Lin Guixiang but instead questioned why they had gone to Qing City.
Madness!
It was truly madness!
She saw that Mu Baicheng was truly bewitched by Lin Guixiang, unable to distinguish right from wrong.
Before Mu Xiaoxiao could speak, Mu Baicheng continued, "Why didn’t you inform me before you and your grandma went to see Aunt Lin?"
Mu Xiaoxiao carefully considered her words while crying, "Dad, Grandma was just concerned about your major life decision and wanted to talk to Aunt Lin. Neither Grandma nor I had any ill intentions. None of us expected things to turn out this way! Dad, if you must scold someone, scold me; I should have stopped Grandma..."
Hearing his daughter’s crying, Mu Baicheng pinched his temple wearily, then said, "How is your grandma now?"
"Very, very bad," Mu Xiaoxiao stuttered, "The doctor said Grandma needs to be hospitalized for observation."

Mu Baicheng had never imagined that his mother’s condition would be so severe.
"What the hell happened in Qing City?" Mu Baicheng pressed.
Naturally, Mu Xiaoxiao would not tell Mu Baicheng the true situation, selectively saying, "Originally, Grandma wanted to talk to Aunt Lin about your marriage, but at that moment, Aunt Lin suddenly said that our Mu Family was completely unworthy of her. She even told me and Grandma to get lost quickly... Not only Aunt Lin, but also a relative of hers helped her scold me and Grandma, saying that you shamelessly clung to Aunt Lin..."
Upon hearing this, Mu Baicheng’s expression turned unsightly.
Were these really the words Lin Guixiang had said?
Mu Baicheng then said, "I’m buying a ticket to Qing City right away! Take good care of Grandma, and if anything sudden happens, make sure to contact me immediately; if you can’t reach me, then contact your brother."
"All right, Dad."
After hanging up the phone, Mu Xiaodong came over, concerned, "Dad, what’s wrong?"
Mu Baicheng rubbed his head and explained the situation to Mu Xiaodong.
Hearing this, Mu Xiaodong pondered seriously, then objectively said, "Dad, you should know Grandma’s temperament. This incident probably has nothing to do with Aunt Lin. The most important thing for you right now is to call and soothe Aunt Lin’s emotions. I guess she must have been quite frightened by Grandma today."
Old Lady Mu was a person who highly valued social status and had a rather dominant personality.
Therefore, this incident should not be taken at Mu Xiaoxiao’s word alone.
At this point, Mu Xiaodong paused, then added, "Dad, I now suspect that even the hospitalization was orchestrated by Grandma and Xiaoxiao."
After all, from the beginning, Old Lady Mu had been deceptive.
She claimed she and Mu Xiaoxiao were going to Wancheng, but in the end, they went to Qing City and even met with Lin Guixiang.
Upon hearing this, Mu Baicheng frowned slightly, "Your grandma wouldn’t joke about her own health, would she?"
Mu Baicheng was a man deeply committed to filial piety.
Even if his mother was difficult at times, she wouldn’t lie about being sick.
"Dad, do you think Aunt Lin is the type of person who would anger Grandma into the hospital?" Mu Xiaodong countered.
Although Mu Xiaodong had not met Lin Guixiang, based on Mu Baicheng’s description, she seemed to be a virtuous woman. Moreover, she genuinely wanted to spend her life with Mu Baicheng. How could someone who wanted to spend the rest of her life with Mu Baicheng offend Old Lady Mu easily?
Using common sense, it was not possible.
Of course, it did not exclude the possibility that Old Lady Mu had done something excessively outrageous to Lin Guixiang.
Mu Baicheng was taken aback.
His image of Lin Guixiang was gentle and gracious; she definitely wouldn’t speak rudely to an elder.
