Old Lady Mu and her deceased husband had a total of two children.
One son, one daughter.
The daughter, ten years older than her brother, was rather rebellious in nature and seldom returned home after marrying overseas at a young age.
But Mu Baicheng was different.
From a young age, Mu Baicheng was very sensible and obedient; all his affairs were arranged by Old Lady Mu.
His first wife was handpicked by Old Lady Mu herself.
Well-matched in social status.
It’s just that her fate wasn’t good.
After giving birth to a son and a daughter, she left this world.
Over the years, Old Lady Mu had always regretted why she had chosen such a short-lived daughter-in-law for her son.
If it weren’t for her misjudgment, her son’s latter life wouldn’t have been so lonely and helpless.
Old Lady Mu’s expression was somewhat unpleasant.
Mu Xiaoxiao continued, "Grandma, as far as I know my dad hasn’t known that woman for very long. If you don’t intervene to stop this now, the consequences will be unimaginable."
Upon hearing this, Old Lady Mu narrowed her eyes, already feeling averse to the unseen travel companion of her son.
Just as her granddaughter said, for many years, her son had never gone against her wishes.
But now, he was behaving like this for a woman.
"A woman like that is capable of anything. What if she gets pregnant with my dad’s child to hold onto him? A child born from someone like her will definitely not be of good stock! That would only tarnish the Mu family’s gene pool."
Hearing this, Old Lady Mu’s brows twitched. Her granddaughter was right; this matter had to be stopped in time. Under no circumstances could they let that shameless woman carry the Mu family’s bloodline.
After all, she had become a Buddhist in her old age and couldn’t kill living beings.
With that thought, Old Lady Mu turned to look at Mu Xiaoxiao, "What is the background of that woman?"
Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head, "Dad has kept it very tight. I don’t even know her name."
Old Lady Mu massaged her temples.
Her son was always very smart; how could he become so foolish over something like this?
After a moment, Old Lady Mu looked at the servant standing behind her, "Call sir."
"Yes, Old Lady."
The servant promptly called Mu Baicheng.
Mu Baicheng had arrived at Tang Dynasty Yipin and immediately pressed the answer button when he saw the incoming call from his mother.
"Hello."
The servant passed the phone to Old Lady Mu’s ear, "Chengcheng, where are you now?"
Mu Baicheng had concealed his itinerary from his family for fear that Mu Xiaoxiao would ruin his plan to pursue a wife.
Now that Lin Guixiang had agreed to be with him, he naturally couldn’t keep hiding things from his family any longer.
"Mom, I just took a flight back to Qing City."
Old Lady Mu had her phone on speaker.
At the mention of Qing City, Mu Xiaoxiao’s expression changed.
Why did Mu Baicheng go to Qing City?
Could it be...
The woman he was with was Lin Guixiang?
At that thought, Mu Xiaoxiao furrowed her brows deeply.
Old Lady Mu pondered in her heart before speaking, "Weren’t you on a business trip in City C? Why did you go to Qing City?"
Mu Baicheng said, "Mom, I have something to tell you."
"Speak."
"I have a girlfriend."
A girlfriend?
Under normal circumstances, Old Lady Mu would have been extremely delighted because her greatest concern was her son’s lifelong happiness.
But now...
Old Lady Mu felt not the slightest bit of joy.
Because for a grand household like theirs, they must find a daughter-in-law who is well matched in social status.
Otherwise, they wouldn’t be able to uphold such a large family reputation!
"Mom, are you listening?" Mu Baicheng asked with doubt.
Logically speaking...
His mother’s reaction should not be this lukewarm.
"Listening," Old Lady Mu narrowed her eyes, "Tell me about the woman. Where is she from, what does she do, what’s her name!"
"She’s from Lin City, currently an entrepreneur, named Lin Guixiang." freёwebnovel-com
Lin Guixiang?!
Upon hearing this name, Mu Xiaoxiao’s face turned pale, "It’s her..."
Old Lady Mu frowned and looked at Mu Xiaoxiao.
Could it be that Mu Xiaoxiao knew this Lin Guixiang?
Seeing her granddaughter’s expression...
Lin Guixiang didn’t seem like an easy person to deal with.
Before Old Lady Mu could speak, Mu Baicheng continued, "Mom, Ah Xiang is a very good and kind woman. I’ve decided to bring her to Capital City next month. I am sure you will like her after you meet her."
Meeting next month?
Hearing these words, Old Lady Mu’s voice suddenly turned cold, "I ask you, how long have you known her? Do you understand her? Not just any woman can step into the Mu family’s doorway!"
Especially those women of dubious character.
"Mom, trust my judgment. Although I haven’t known Ah Xiang for a long time, we hit it off right from the start. I really like her..."
