Old Lady Mu thought the more, the more she felt it was a pity, and she couldn’t help but sigh softly.
After all, Tang Qiushui and Mu Baicheng had childhood ties. If Mu Baicheng hadn’t married Zheng Niannian, it would have been perfect to naturally bring those two together.
But now.
Zheng Niannian was already pregnant, and it was too late to say anything.
"Mom, what’s wrong?" Seeing Old Lady Mu sigh, Zheng Niannian was very puzzled.
Old Lady Mu smiled and said, "It’s nothing, I just feel that Aunt Fang has had a tough time over the years."
It wasn’t only Fang Youling who had it tough, she did too!
Why did Tang Qiushui have to return at this exact critical moment?
If only she had been found half a year earlier, things wouldn’t have turned out this way!
If it had been half a year earlier, at that time Mu Baicheng had just broken up with Lin Guixiang, wouldn’t it have been perfect to seamlessly start a relationship with Tang Qiushui?
Zheng Niannian said, "Fortunately, Aunt Fang has finally seen the light at the end of the tunnel."
Old Lady Mu nodded her head and didn’t say much else.
"Right, a few days ago the Lau Family sent someone over to propose a match...."
Hearing this, Old Lady Mu immediately perked up, "Then how did you respond to them?"
Since Zheng Niannian and Mu Baicheng’s wedding, Old Lady Mu had handed over the butler’s authority to her and stopped intervening in household affairs.
Zheng Niannian frowned slightly, "I meant to let the Lau boy and our Xiaoxiao chat first, but Xiaoxiao is somewhat reluctant and has never added Young Master Lau on WeChat."
"Reluctant? Why is she reluctant?" You should know, the Lau Family is also one of the top families in Capital City.
The Mu Family and Lau Family are genuinely well-matched in social status.
Being allied with the Lau Family is also a stroke of luck for Mu Xiaoxiao.
Before Zheng Niannian could speak, Mu Xiaoxiao stormed in from the doorway, angry, "Grandma! Do you know what the Lau Family is like? Lau Haoxuan is a good-for-nothing, always idling around, and he’s also a womanizer, changing girlfriends more often than clothes! The Lau family has several illegitimate children now, and once the head of the Lau family goes, all these people will come to claim a share, you want to send me into this mess, isn’t that pushing me into a pit of fire?"
Speaking of this, Mu Xiaoxiao was extremely angry!
Since Zheng Niannian entered the family, the Mu household had been in chaos, and whether it was a big or small matter, Zheng Niannian had the final say, now even her marriage was controlled by Zheng Niannian.
What right did Zheng Niannian have?
What qualifications did she have?
What made Mu Xiaoxiao even more disgusted was, not long ago, Zheng Niannian actually framed her for hurting the baby in her womb.
Because of this, Mu Xiaoxiao was even slapped by her father.
Mu Xiaoxiao had indeed harbored this thought.
But where would she dare to actually do it?
Even if she was reckless, she wouldn’t dare mess with human lives.
Unexpectedly, Zheng Niannian dared to plot against her.
In that situation, Mu Xiaoxiao had no way to argue her innocence.
She could only swallow the bitterness.
If it hadn’t been for that incident, Old Madam Zheng wouldn’t have thought of marrying her off so quickly.
Old Lady Mu frowned slightly, "The Lau family is such a large clan. Having a few illegitimate children is quite normal, not everyone is as impeccably moral as your dad! Also, I’ve looked into the Lau boy—his looks, education, and capabilities are all very commendable, at the very least, he’s more than a match for you! Young men like him inevitably love to have fun, but once you marry over there, he will naturally settle down and return to the family."
Mu Xiaoxiao stared at Old Lady Mu with wide eyes, "Grandma, don’t be fooled by Zheng Niannian, this woman has never had good intentions!"
"What do you mean ’this woman’?" Old Lady Mu narrowed her eyes, "Niannian is now your stepmother! The stepmother you chose yourself!"
The stepmother I chose myself?
Mu Xiaoxiao’s face was full of sarcastic laughter.
If only she had known that Zheng Niannian was a wolf in sheep’s clothing, plotting against her from the start, she would never have arranged for Zheng Niannian and Mu Baicheng to be together.
She really shot herself in the foot!
"You apologize to Niannian right now," Old Lady Mu continued.
"Why should I apologize to a manipulative woman?"
Old Lady Mu clutched her chest, gasping in anger.
Zheng Niannian walked over to Old Lady Mu, holding her arm, "Let it go, Mom, after all, Xiaoxiao is still just a child, why bother arguing with her?"
"Shut up!" Mu Xiaoxiao angrily said, "Zheng Niannian, I don’t need your hypocrisy!"
"Xiaoxiao, I know you don’t dislike me, it’s just the child in my stomach..." Zheng Niannian’s eyes reddened by the end, looking pitifully vulnerable.
