Zheng Niannian immediately declined, "Aunt, this is too valuable, I can’t accept it."
"You’ll be family soon, what’s a bracelet?" Old Lady Mu said with a beaming smile, "You should know that what you carry inside you is the future heir of the Mu Family."
The heir!
Hearing this jarring term, Mu Xiaoxiao’s already unpleasant face contorted with rage.
Clearly, she was the rightful heir of the Mu Family.
What was Zheng Niannian?
Zheng Niannian was nothing but an intruder.
Upon hearing this, Zheng Niannian immediately said, "Aunt, please don’t say that. I’ve never thought about making the child in my belly an heir, nor have I considered having him compete with Xiaoxiao for anything. I just hope the child can grow up safe and sound."
Old Lady Mu nodded, clearly appreciating Zheng Niannian’s non-confrontational nature.
She turned to look at Mu Xiaoxiao, "Xiaoxiao, you should learn from your Aunt Zheng. You’re about to be a big sister and yet you act so indecorously every day. If you behave like this after getting married, others will laugh at the Mu Family for not having any manners."
Before Zheng Niannian got pregnant, Old Lady Mu had never spoken about her getting married.
What Mu Xiaoxiao didn’t expect was that Old Lady Mu would actually give the family heirloom bracelet to Zheng Niannian!
Zheng Niannian hasn’t even married into the Mu Family yet, and Old Lady Mu is already giving her such valuable gifts; what will happen if Zheng Niannian truly becomes part of the Mu Family?
No!
This won’t do.
She couldn’t let Mu Xiaoxiao marry into the family as she wished.
Mu Xiaoxiao bit her lip, her eyes filled with resentment.
At that moment, Zheng Niannian turned to look at Mu Xiaoxiao and said with a smile, "Aunt, actually Xiaoxiao is a very sensible child. I believe she will be a good big sister and set a fine example for her younger siblings."
To others, Zheng Niannian might appear gentle and virtuous, but through Mu Xiaoxiao’s eyes, she seemed provocative.
Deliberate.
Zheng Niannian was doing it on purpose, deliberately provoking her.
At that time, Mu Xiaoxiao wished she could slap Zheng Niannian and expose her true face.
But she couldn’t be so reckless.
If she really hit her, she would fall right into Zheng Niannian’s trap.
So, Mu Xiaoxiao had to calm herself down.
Old Lady Mu pulled Zheng Niannian to sit down, "Niannian, you are now pregnant, you can’t tire yourself out, sit down."
Upon saying that, Old Lady Mu also instructed the servants to bring a cushion.
Zheng Niannian said with a smile, "Aunt, I’m not that delicate."
"It’s not you who’s delicate, it’s my unborn grandson who is," Old Lady Mu said, holding Zheng Niannian’s hand, then turned to Mu Baicheng, "Baicheng, now that Niannian is pregnant, have you thought about when to register for marriage?"
Mu Baicheng replied, "Mom, I brought Niannian here today to discuss this matter with you. When do you think would be an appropriate time to register?"
Upon hearing this, Old Lady Mu narrowed her eyes.
Indeed, Lin Guixiang was a disaster.
Her son always listened to Lin Guixiang, even hiding his love affairs from her.
Now that he is with Zheng Niannian, he actually knows to ask for her opinion.
Thinking this, Old Lady Mu was extremely pleased, feeling all the more that Zheng Niannian was an excellent daughter-in-law.
It was the Mu Family’s fortune to get a daughter-in-law like Zheng Niannian!
Old Lady Mu became happier the more she thought about it.
"This matter is up to Niannian. Niannian, what do you think is a good time?" Old Lady Mu looked at Zheng Niannian.
Zheng Niannian politely said, "Aunt, Brother Baicheng and I are in agreement, we will listen to you."
"Good, good, good!" Old Lady Mu nodded, then continued, "There’s no time like the present. Niannian, tell your parents that we’ll visit them tomorrow. If they agree, you two will register in three days and complete the wedding in ten. Although it’s a second marriage for both of you, the ceremony must be lively and grand, so outsiders won’t look down on our Mu Family."
Zheng Niannian didn’t speak, but Mu Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but interject, "Grandma, isn’t this too hasty?"
"Your Aunt Zheng and your father don’t think it’s too quick, why are you butting in?" Old Lady Mu looked at Mu Xiaoxiao with displeasure.
She disliked rebellious youngsters the most.
Mu Xiaoxiao had no choice but to stay silent, albeit unwillingly.
Old Lady Mu held Zheng Niannian’s hand, wanting to say more, but her gaze fell upon Mu Xiaoxiao and she frowned in annoyance, "Xiaoxiao, I have a few words to say to your Aunt Zheng and your father. If you have nothing else, you may go back to your room."
