After he finished speaking, he glanced at Mu Shicang again, his eyes gentle, no different from most uncles: "Shicang, don't get me wrong, uncle is not targeting you, he is just thinking about the group."
Mu Shicang also smiled, and was no different from most nephews who respected their elders: "It's okay, I understand what Second Uncle meant, but maybe Second Uncle came back too hastily today and didn't go to the company. The points that fell have recovered and even increased slightly."
After saying that, he looked towards Yang Shushu, who grinned at him again. He looked away as if he had been forced to eat a fly. His expression inexplicably pleased Yang Shushu, and her smile widened, even to the point of being somewhat sincere.
At this time, Chi Ling, who had never had a chance to show off, suddenly spoke up: "Yes, this is all thanks to our Shushu's ability to speak. He can turn black into white and nothing into something. This thick skin has its advantages."
Chi Ling is also the young lady of the Mu family, but her status is still a little bit lower. Mu Shicang is the most preferred heir of Old Master Mu, while her husband, Mu Shiyun, is a well-known playboy in the Beijing circle. Not only Old Master Mu, but even his biological father, Mu Shilian, has almost given up on this son. In addition, Mu Shiyun is always flirting with other women outside, and even shows off in front of his beautiful wife openly. Although her life looks glamorous, it is actually not much better than Yang Shushu's.
But people are like this. When they are miserable, they become particularly happy when they see someone more miserable than themselves. They even want to add insult to injury, as if that would make them appear to be living a good life.
Yang Shushu looked at Chi Ling and searched for her previous life's memories about Chi Ling. In fact, her previous life did not have many interactions with these Mu family members, and every time there was an interaction, it was not a good memory. Some were even automatically blocked by her previous life. However, she did find some memories about Chi Ling, which were quite interesting.
"I don't deserve what you said, sister-in-law. Thick skin is nothing. Being able to endure humiliation and bear heavy burdens is the most manly thing, right? Sister-in-law?"
Yang Shushu's last word "sister-in-law" was very soft, but it was like a thin needle suddenly piercing into Chi Ling's flesh. No one noticed it, but it made her grimace in pain.
But just when she was about to fight back, she was stopped by her husband Mu Shiyun. Mu Shiyun had no other abilities, but he had a lot of tricks to pick up girls. He always regarded himself as a love saint, and believed that there was no woman he could not get, and no woman he could not coax.
Unfortunately, this shameless uncle fell in love with Yang Shushu the first time he saw her, but he could never find an opportunity to show his romantic skills. This was also one of the reasons why Chi Ling targeted Yang Shushu everywhere.
Even the original Yang Shushu might not know this.
So, at this time Mu Shiyun actually stopped Chi Ling from attacking her again. Yang Shushu was a little surprised, but she didn't care, not to mention noticing the meaningful smile on Mu Shiyun's face when he looked at her.
Mu Shiyun is older than Mu Shicang, but the Mu family is like the ancient imperial family, where the order of succession is calculated. Mu Shicang was born to the eldest son of the exiled family, so naturally he is the grandson of the exiled family.
Therefore, even if Mu Shiyun is a promising person, as long as Mu Shicang is still there, he is a mountain standing in front of him, or a mountain standing in front of everyone.
This inexplicably reminded Yang Shushu of Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty. He made his eldest son Zhu Biao the crown prince. After Zhu Biao's death, he actually made Zhu Yunwen the crown prince. It seemed that Old Master Mu's idea was similar to that of the founding emperor.
Yang Shushu was not very interested in Master Mu's thoughts. If possible, she wanted to leave now. The meal she had just eaten was not tasty at all and she was not full. She wanted to find something to eat by herself.
But these people were staring at her like wolves and tigers. If she said she wanted to leave now, they might pounce on her and bite her to death.
Yang Shushu noticed that several pairs of eyes were looking at her thoughtfully. She knew that her performance this time was a little different from before, but she was not a natural actor. Sometimes she couldn't help but reveal her true nature. No matter how weak she pretended to be on the surface, the temperament brought by her soul still couldn't change much.
She lowered her head to hide the irritation in her eyes, but just as she lowered her head, she heard Mu Shuya's voice: "Shushu's personality has changed a lot since she came back this time."
Yang Shushu lowered her head and rolled her eyes, thinking: Aren't you rich people just too bored? Wouldn't it be nice to go out and make some money sometimes? Otherwise, one day you'll be broke and have nothing left to buy a pair of pants.
"Haven't you heard, Aunt? When a person walks through the gates of hell, it's a rebirth, a new life. Aunt, you can treat me as a new person this time."
The Mu family is too pushy and acting is too difficult. She wants to get ashore quickly.
Her words stunned everyone for a moment. Old Master Mu and Mu Shicang looked at her with a thoughtful look, while Mu Shilian and Mu Jiangfeng, who had a low presence, were also a little surprised. She pretended not to see it, looked up and smiled perfunctorily, then continued to play with her fingers with her head down.
Mu Shilian had just wanted to complain about his nephew in front of Old Master Mu, but failed. Moreover, his daughter-in-law brought the topic to Yang Shushu, so he stopped talking. Instead, his wife spoke when no one else was talking.
"By the way, aren't we here today to discuss who will organize Dad's birthday? Let's quickly decide who should be in charge of organizing it this year."
As soon as she opened her mouth, everyone looked at her, and Yang Shushu looked at her even more. If it weren't for her sparkling eyes that clearly expressed the strong desire of "I'll do it, I'll do it, I'll do it", she would have thought that the other party was helping her out.
However, it was only then that she realized that this was not a criticism meeting for her, but a celebration for the old man's birthday. That was none of her business, so she might as well sit aside and watch the fun.
But things didn't always go as planned. Mu Shifeng's wife, Mi Chun, who had been silent the whole time, started talking: "This year is Xiao Yang's first year married into the Mu family. Why don't we hand it over to Xiao Yang? It'll also be a good opportunity for her to get familiar with our family."
Yang Shushu was suddenly called out and was a little confused. She instinctively looked at Mu Shicang, but the latter was sitting there as if it had nothing to do with him. Yang Shushu gritted her teeth and wanted to go up and bite him.
"Aunt San, I don't know anything, so forget it." Look at your second sister-in-law's eyes, they are almost flashing like a thousand-watt light bulb, give her a chance.
It was as if a switch had been turned on for Michun. Even Mu Qingyi agreed with her words: "Yes, sister-in-law, don't be so modest. Or... are you unwilling to take care of things for Grandpa?"
