Mu Xiaoxiao looked incredulously at Old Lady Mu.
"What is it that has to be said out of my earshot?"
Am I no longer a part of this family?
Why should I leave?
So, in Old Lady Mu’s eyes, I am now less significant than the outsider, Zheng Niannian?
Mu Xiaoxiao didn’t react for a long time, causing Old Lady Mu to frown slightly, "Are you not hearing what I’m saying to you?"
This granddaughter is really getting increasingly disregardful.
Zheng Niannian glanced at Mu Xiaoxiao, her eyes full of mockery.
Almost unmasked.
She had no need to hide anything in front of Mu Xiaoxiao now.
The thing Mu Xiaoxiao needs is a stepmother who can’t bear children, but now that she is carrying the Mu Family’s heir, no matter how much she tries to please Mu Xiaoxiao, she will always be a thorn in Mu Xiaoxiao’s side.
So, instead of being snubbed by trying to win her over, why not be undisguised?
As long as she could coax Old Lady Mu, what was Mu Xiaoxiao?
Mu Xiaoxiao certainly felt Zheng Niannian’s gaze and left with a sense of resentment.
Watching Mu Xiaoxiao’s retreating figure, Old Lady Mu couldn’t help but speak up, "This child is becoming more and more unreasonable!"
Upon hearing this, a complex emotion flashed through Mu Baicheng’s eyes.
Old Lady Mu was half to blame for Mu Xiaoxiao turning out the way she is today.
But instead of realizing the root of the problem, she acted as if it had nothing to do with her.
Before, he had not realized just how strong his mother’s desire to control was.
Now that she’s past fifty...
He has been living his life in a fog!
Zheng Niannian, as always, was understanding, her voice gentle, "Aunt Mu, in fact, Xiaoxiao is a very excellent child. I really liked her the first time I met her. She might be having a hard time accepting my pregnancy today. I believe that, with a little time, she will be able to accept it."
"Let’s hope so," Old Lady Mu nodded, "Niannian, to have you as an understanding daughter-in-law is a blessing for Xiaodong and Xiaoxiao, and a blessing for our Mu Family."
Ding ding ding.
Just then, footsteps came from outside, followed by the butler’s voice, "The young master is back."
The next second, Mu Xiaodong walked in from the outside.
Zheng Niannian immediately stood up from her chair.
Because she knew she could act in front of Mu Xiaoxiao, but not in front of Mu Xiaodong.
Mu Xiaodong is one of the Mu Family’s rare smart people.
She had to make a good impression on Mu Xiaodong.
Old Lady Mu said with a smile, "Xiaodong is back. Come over and say hello to your Aunt Zheng."
Hearing this, Mu Xiaodong turned his head toward Zheng Niannian.
Mu Xiaodong spoke first, "Aunt Zheng."
"Xiaodong."
Old Lady Mu continued, "Xiaodong, let me tell you some great news. Your Aunt Mu is already carrying your father’s child. Soon you’ll have a little brother."
Pregnant?
Mu Xiaodong’s expression remained unchanged, but his heart surged with emotion as he turned to look towards his father.
He had long known that Zheng Niannian would not give up so easily.
But he never expected that Zheng Niannian would get pregnant with Mu Baicheng’s child.
However, Mu Xiaodong processed this news quickly and looked at Zheng Niannian with a smile, "Then congratulations to Dad and Aunt Zheng."
Zheng Niannian breathed a sigh of relief.
She was really afraid that Mu Xiaodong would make things difficult for her.
He’s not like Mu Xiaoxiao.
Mu Xiaoxiao is just a vase-like young lady, Mu Xiaodong is not someone to be trifled with.
"Thank you, Xiaodong."
Mu Xiaodong smiled, his gaze moving away from Zheng Niannian, "Grandma, I’m heading upstairs."
"Okay," Old Madam Zheng nodded, "Go ahead."
As Mu Xiaodong reached the third floor, Mu Xiaoxiao blocked his path.
"Brother!" fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
"What’s wrong?" Mu Xiaodong looked at Mu Xiaoxiao.
Mu Xiaoxiao’s eyes flared with anger, "There’s big trouble in our family!"
"What trouble?"
Mu Xiaoxiao continued, "That shameless woman Zheng Niannian is pregnant with Dad’s child. Brother, she’s not a good person, we can’t let Dad stay with her, and we especially can’t let her step through our Mu Family’s doors."
The only person who could help her now was Mu Xiaodong; unity between siblings was their strongest weapon.
She alone had limited power.
If both she and Mu Xiaodong opposed it, then even if Old Lady Mu liked Zheng Niannian, it would be futile.
Surely Old Lady Mu wouldn’t abandon both of them for the sake of an unborn child, would she?
Mu Xiaoxiao expected that Mu Xiaodong would be furious upon hearing this, but instead, Mu Xiaodong displayed no particular expression, and didn’t even frown, instead smiling and saying, "I actually think Dad and Aunt Zheng are quite suited for each other."
Mu Baicheng lacks decisiveness in emotional matters, whereas Zheng Niannian is the exact opposite.
