Chapter 49 This is simply despicable and shameless
The woman turned around, a smile on her face, her features bearing a resemblance to Mu Yunzhou.
She looked gentle and graceful, and waved to Chao Xian.
Everyone around looked at Mu Yunzhou and Chao Xian.
They all knew that Mu Yunzhou was getting married, but apart from their uncles and aunts who had always lived in the old house, this was the first time they had ever met Chao Xian.
Originally, everyone was wondering what kind of celestial being could have Mu Yunzhou so firmly under her control, but now that they see it, she is indeed a person even more beautiful than a celestial being.
He just looks a bit young.
No wonder Rong Huai said in the group that Chao Xian thought Mu Yunzhou was too old.
Fortunately, Mu Yunzhou is decent-looking, and standing together with Chao Xian, they are somewhat compatible.
"Chaochao is here? I was just wondering when you would arrive! Chaochao, come and sit down, the show has just started."
The woman stood up, her tone full of laughter. She looked at Chao Xian with increasing satisfaction, completely ignoring Mu Yunzhou who had just greeted her.
Mu Yunzhou understood his mother's personality; she found fault with everything about him.
"Hello, Mother." Chao Xian spoke softly, a little nervously.
Mu Yunzhou introduced the other people to Chao Xian, most of whom were uncles, aunts, and other relatives, as well as some guests who had come from other cities to attend the Mu family's annual banquet the day after tomorrow.
Chao Xian greeted them one by one.
Turning her head, she saw Mu Yunzhou's mother take the handbag from the girl next to her, and then hand the red envelope that had been prepared in advance to Chao Xian.
"I don't know when you'll be arriving. I'll have the rest of the gifts delivered to Yunzhou's room. Take a look and see if you like them. If not, Yunzhou can take you to the storeroom to choose one at your leisure."
Mu's mother smiled.
Before Chao Xian could react, Mu Yunzhou took the red envelope and placed it in Chao Xian's hand.
"Mother, please don't scare Chaochao, he's quite shy."
Everyone around knew that Mu Yunzhou would be bringing Chao Xian back today.
Therefore, everyone was prepared, carrying red envelopes with them, while other gifts were delivered to Mu Yunzhou's room.
Everyone who gave him a red envelope would praise Chao Xian a few times.
"Zhaochao is really great. We should visit each other more often when we have time."
"I saw Chaochao trending on social media. Chaochao is a celebrity with many fans. She was trending before, and I was thinking, 'She looks clean and pretty, I wonder who will end up with her.'"
Unexpectedly, it turned out that their own people benefited!
"Don't worry, Chaochao. If Yunzhou ever makes you unhappy, just tell us and your aunt will take care of him for you."
Chao Xian watched as Mu Yunzhou responded confidently while accepting the red envelope, then turned and placed the red envelope in his hand.
Chao Xian felt even more guilty.
Seeing the smile that had never left Mu Yunzhou's face from the very beginning, Mu's mother gave a soft snort.
He always had a stern face since he was a child, but now that he has a wife, he smiles happily.
"Mother, aunts and uncles, I need to take Chaochao to see the old lady, so I have to go now."
Mu Yunzhou spoke softly.
Upon hearing the old lady's name, Mu's mother nodded gently, her tone admonishing.
"That's right. The old lady was just saying this morning when you're going to bring Chaochao back. Go quickly. After you see the old lady, take Chaochao to see your uncle and aunt. They are talking with your dad."
Chao Xian quickly said goodbye to everyone, and then was led away by Mu Yunzhou.
"It seems that Yunzhou really likes this person. You said before that Yunzhou found someone to fool you. Do you still think it was a fool now?"
One of the aunts teased Mu's mother.
Upon hearing this, Mother Mu quickly replied with a smile, "Look at that boy Yunzhou, he hasn't stopped smiling since he arrived. He's always had a straight face since he was a child, he's never smiled like that before."
Mother Mu paused for a moment, then continued speaking.
"Chaochao is a good child. He looks innocent and naive. As long as he and Yunzhou are doing well, we elders can rest assured. After all, the Mu family will still belong to the younger generation in the future."
Mother Mu smiled as she glanced at several of them.
Those people have been eyeing the Mu family's assets for a long time; this statement is a warning.
They walked around the stage and along the corridor on the other side towards the high pavilion opposite the stage. During this time, Mu Yunzhou did not let go of Chao Xian's hand.
Once she was sure the person on the other end couldn't hear them, Chao Xian stopped and stuffed all the red envelopes in her hand into Mu Yunzhou's hands: "Here, take these."
Chao Xian has never had a family; the most people around him at any given time were his agent and the people from his studio.
It was the first time Chao Xian had met so many elders, and he was inevitably a little nervous.
Mu Yunzhou looked at the red envelope in his hand, then turned to look at Chao Xian. From his perspective, Chao Xian had his head down, his eyelashes trembling, and his lips slightly pursed.
He looked very nervous and uneasy.
"Chaochao, they like you very much, but only because you are the person."
Mu Yunzhou reached out and took Chao Xian's hand, placing the red envelope on Chao Xian's body: "So there's no need to be afraid."
Chao Xian didn't say anything, but squeezed the red envelope.
Chao Xian knew very well that what they liked was the person Mu Yunzhou truly cared for.
Instead of signing a two-year agreement, he did not.
Chao Xian opened his mouth, but didn't say anything.
I couldn't help but feel a little discouraged.
He kept his head down and didn't say anything.
A girl suddenly walked out of the attic. She nodded to Mu Yunzhou, then turned her gaze to Chao Xian, her eyes smiling: "Brother Yunzhou, Brother Chao, the old lady wants you to go up."
Mu Yunzhou and Chao Xian followed behind the girl, listening to her say softly, "The old lady is in a good mood today and is humming a tune, but she caught a cold recently, so she didn't go to the stage."
"This is Mu Qi, the seventh among her peers. She's currently studying abroad and is the old lady's favorite junior," Mu Yunzhou introduced to Chao Xian softly.
Upon hearing this, Mu Qi's eyes were full of laughter, and then she teased him in a playful tone.
"Brother Yunzhou, you're mistaken. Isn't the old lady's favorite junior you? However, once Brother Chao appears before the old lady, Brother Chao will be her favorite junior."
Chao Xian smiled politely upon hearing this, not taking it seriously.
Go up the wooden steps, and on the top floor there is only a sofa and a coffee table.
A wooden double window was specially built to be very low so that people in the attic could see the stage.
However, even now, standing on high ground, they do not feel the slightest bit of winter chill.
Mu Yunzhou looked at the old lady with gray hair sitting on the sofa, and led Chao Xian forward, bowing slightly as he called out, "Grandma."
The old lady heard the sound and turned around. Seeing the two people, she quickly invited them to come and sit with her for a while.
Just as Chao Xian was about to sit down next to her, Mu Yunzhou chuckled, "Grandma means that you should sit next to her."
Hearing this, the old lady smiled and glanced at Mu Yunzhou, then nodded quickly: "As expected, Yunzhou understands Grandma's meaning best."
Chao sat idly on the sofa and said softly, "Hello, Grandma."
When the old lady heard Chao Xian call her "Grandma," she nodded happily and said "good" three times.
"Yunzhou was originally the one who had the hardest time finding a partner among his peers, but unexpectedly he turned out to be the luckiest. Good boy, I don't know what to give you as a gift."
Before Chao Xian could answer, the old lady continued to speak on her own.
“I received a gift when I was young, and now I’m giving it to you. It’s an estate with a beautiful environment. I don’t know if you’ll like it. Yunzhou knows the place. I’ll have Yunzhou take you there to complete the transfer later.”
Upon hearing this, Mu Yunzhou nodded: "Okay, Grandma."
Chao Xian felt that Mu Yunzhou had agreed before she could even speak, and she glanced at Mu Yunzhou with dissatisfaction in her eyes.
Mu Yunzhou gave Chao Xian a look, signaling Chao Xian to relax.
Then Chao Xian and Mu Yunzhou watched as the old lady focused her gaze on the stage, gesturing with her fingers.
Seeing the old lady's appearance, Mu Qi said softly, "The younger generation is chatting in the backyard. Yunzhou, you should go over there. I'll stay here with the old lady."
Chao Xian looked at the old lady beside him and then glanced at Mu Yunzhou.
Mu Yunzhou reached out his hand, gesturing for Chao Xian to take it. Chao Xian hesitated for a moment, but remembering that Mu Qi and the old lady were there, he finally reached out his hand.
Mu Yunzhou gripped Chao Xian's hand tightly and left under Mu Qi's watchful gaze.
The old lady seemed to realize something, glanced at the empty seat next to her, and then looked at Mu Qi: "Qi Qi, have Chao Chao and the others left?"
"Grandma, he's already gone. Chao-ge has a lot of people to meet today. Grandma, wasn't that manor a marriage proposal gift from Grandpa?"
The old lady only owned one estate, and it held great significance.
Mu Qi hadn't expected that the old lady would give the manor to Chao Xian.
"It's already good enough that Yunzhou can be with the person he loves now. After your grandfather passed away, everything else is just an object. Giving it to Chaochao is a way of hoping that they can be well."
Just like when she and her lover were young, everything was perfect.
This is also her blessing to the two of them.
"When Qiqi gets married, Grandma will also give Qiqi a lot of things." The old lady smiled happily.
Mu Qi felt somewhat helpless; the old lady was worrying about her marriage again.
"Grandma, I'm still young, and I want to stay with you for a few more years! Is it because you find me annoying?"
Upon hearing this, the old lady smiled and patted Muqi's hand.
“Good Qiqi, even if you never get married, I can still support you. Next winter, Grandma will give all the gifts I’ve prepared to Qiqi.”
Mu Yunzhou led Chao Xian away from the pavilion and returned along the same route, but chose a different path after they reached the back of the stage.
"Grandma is getting old, and often she forgets what she was doing a second ago while she's talking, and she might suddenly ignore the people around her. Grandma doesn't do it on purpose."
Upon hearing Mu Yunzhou's explanation, Chao Xian spoke softly, "I know, I didn't say anything, but why did you take over the manor?"
Mu Yunzhou chuckled softly when he heard Chao Xian's quiet dissatisfaction; his voice was low and coaxing.
"Grandma likes you very much, that's why she gave you that manor. You can take it with you. After you see your uncle and aunt, I'll take you back to rest. We'll go to the restaurant when it's time to eat."
Chao Xian nodded helplessly.
When Mu Yunzhou led Chao Xian inside, his aunt and uncle had already finished discussing matters and were talking to Mu's father about several projects with promising prospects.
Upon seeing Mu Yunzhou arrive with his entourage, the group quickly changed the subject.
Aunt smiled and took out two red envelopes from her bag: "This must be Chaochao, right? She and Yunzhou are a perfect match. This is a token of my appreciation."
Chao Xian had red envelopes in his hands, and Mu Yunzhou took them upon seeing them, saying, "Thank you, Uncle and Aunt."
Chao Xian nodded quickly, "Thank you, Uncle and Aunt."
Mr. Mu, sitting in the superior position, never stopped smiling as he watched this scene.
Then, Mu's father saw Mu Yunzhou look at him, as if he was being gestured to.
Mr. Mu raised an eyebrow before speaking softly, "I imagine your mother must have given you quite a few good things. I don't have much to give back, except for some shares in the Mu Group, which I'll transfer to you once the lawyer arrives."
Hearing this, the uncle and aunt, who were about to drink tea, were instantly stunned.
That's the Mu Group!
The foundation of the Mu family!
Upon first meeting, Mr. Mu's father was already making such a grand gesture?
Mu Yunzhou didn't care; he just felt that Chao Xian was worthwhile.
Chao Xian's eyes widened when he heard this. Even if Chao Xian didn't know how many shares there were, those were Mu's shares!
The price is definitely not cheap.
The annual dividends alone are enough for him to squander for several years.
And now, Mu's father actually says he wants to transfer it to him?
Absolutely not!
"It's too valuable, I can't accept it," Chao Xian refused.
Chao Xian quickly looked at Mu Yunzhou beside him, his eyes pleading for help.
Mr. Mu originally thought that his gift would be the most expensive and the one that Chao Xian would like the most, but he did not expect that Chao Xian would refuse it!
"Chaochao, do you really think Yunzhou is too old?"
Then, Mu's father remembered what his wife had said before, turned to look at Chao Xian with a gossipy and even somewhat shocked expression.
Others would be happy to accept it.
Even if they get divorced in the future, it will be a huge financial guarantee.
But Chao Xian refused.
She even refused him in front of Mu Yunzhou.
But it's no wonder that Yunzhou fell in love with Chaoxian.
Clean, opinionated, kind, and not greedy.
She and her son are a perfect match.
But... what Rong Huai said in the group last time was actually true?
"Is it those things that Rong Huai said last time? Rong Huai was probably just talking nonsense, Chaochao, don't take it to heart."
Uncle and Aunt noticed something was wrong and quickly tried to comfort them.
When Chao Xian heard this, he was surprised to find that the news had already spread to everyone.
They were even more at a loss.
Seeing Chao Xian's anxiety, Mu Yunzhou sighed softly, "As you all know, Chao Chao is only twenty-two years old. I was in a hurry to marry her, so I coaxed her into it..."
Mu Yunzhou blamed everything on himself for coaxing Chaochao into marriage.
When Mr. Mu heard this, he felt like his brain couldn't keep up.
Did they coax her into getting married?
Wasn't that just because someone's child didn't know anything about Mu Yunzhou, they were taken into marriage?
When Mu's father looked at his son, he was about to give him a real 'torture'.
I felt like I was about to have a heart attack from the fright.
Then I looked at the other child, who was standing there obediently, looking completely innocent, as if he had no idea that he had been deceived.
Father Mu then turned to look at his usually calm son.
I closed my eyes briefly.
I dared not open my eyes, hoping it was just my imagination.
Father Mu sighed deeply: "You... unfilial son!"
They made a huge move right away!
No wonder the child didn't want to go to the ancestral hall or have a wedding. It turns out that Mu Yunzhou was the one who coaxed the child into getting married.
If this gets out, won't the Mu family have any shame?
"Alright, you have the least say in this matter. You don't even know who came to our Rong family to steal the bride back then. It's all hereditary!"
The uncle was protecting Mu Yunzhou, and he heard Mu's father say that Mu Yunzhou was a rebellious son.
It will be put into maintenance immediately.
Upon hearing this, Mu's father recalled the things he had done in the past, which were even more outrageous than Mu Yunzhou's current actions, and his imposing manner vanished instantly.
"Actually, it's not that Brother Mu is coaxing me. I just think Brother Mu is too outstanding, so I want to give each other more time to think things over." Chao Xian spoke up at this moment, reassuring everyone.
He was afraid that if Mu Yunzhou continued to speak, he would appear even more innocent in the eyes of others, and then Mu Yunzhou would punish him by making him kneel in the ancestral hall.
Mu Yunzhou smiled slightly when he heard Chao Xian defend him: "Alright, Father, I'll take Chao Chao to rest now."
After watching Mu Yunzhou and the others leave, Mu's father turned to his brother-in-law beside him and said, "Hey, brother-in-law, don't embarrass me in front of the younger generation!"
Mu Yunzhou and Chao Xian were still at the entrance, not far away.
Hearing this, Mu Yunzhou chuckled: "Back then, the story of Father's forced marriage was widely circulated, and I bet many people still know about it online."
Chao Xian found it amusing.
Unexpectedly, Mu's father and mother were actually forced into marriage through a forced marriage.
Then, recalling what Mu Yunzhou had said in the room, Chao Xian said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I didn't expect so many people to know what I said last time."
We still need Mu Yunzhou's help to smooth things over.
"It's nothing, they're just asking random questions."
Chao Xian felt a headache coming on just thinking about that scene.
One lie requires countless more to cover it up.
Fortunately, Chao Xian won't stay at the Mu family's old residence forever.
It will be fine in a few days.
Mu Yunzhou led Chao Xian to his courtyard. The courtyard was very quiet, and there were few people around. Mu Yunzhou was used to quiet, so he had long ago forbidden people from coming this way.
Only the day before I return to stay will someone come over to tidy up.
But today was a little different. Behind the pillar next to the attic, several young men were pushing and shoving each other, occasionally letting each other pass.
Mu Yunzhou and Chao Xian both heard the sound.
The two exchanged a glance, then Mu Yunzhou, as if remembering something, closed his eyes and said, "Get out here."
As soon as Mu Yunzhou's voice came out.
Everyone felt a chill run down their spines, as if they had returned to their childhood when they were dominated by Mu Yunzhou.
I dare not move.
Several young men and women who had been hiding obediently came out, some of them even looking puzzled: "We hid well enough, how did we still get discovered?"
Upon hearing this, Chao Xian glanced at their physiques.
Perhaps the child will indeed not be discovered.
But they forgot that they were all adults, and that the pillar couldn't hold up so many adults.
"Why don't you take a look at how much weight you've gained?" Mu Yunzhou said without holding back.
Everyone was angry but dared not speak out. Sure enough, even if Mu Yunzhou was in love, he was still the same Mu Yunzhou!
One of the girls snorted, then turned her gaze to Chao Xian and said matter-of-factly, "We're not here to see you, Brother Yunzhou, we're here to see Chao Chao!"
Chao Xian never expected that these people had come looking for him.
"Looking for me?"
The girl nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, it's so boring inside the old house. We're planning to go to the horse farm this afternoon. We wanted to ask if Chaochao wanted to come along. If Chaochao doesn't like riding horses, we can go racing instead."
Upon hearing this, Chao Xian paused for a moment, then said softly, "I can't ride a horse or race a car, but that's alright, you guys can go have fun."
Mu Yunzhou frowned when he heard about racing, but didn't say much when he looked at them: "Chaochao just finished filming her new movie, she needs to rest well these few days. If you're bored, go find Mu Ziyan."
Chao Xian looked at Mu Yunzhou in disbelief upon hearing this. Mu Ziyan should have just told them that he didn't like playing with others.
As a result, Mu Yunzhou turned around and betrayed Mu Ziyan?
Mu Yunzhou felt no guilt whatsoever.
After the others left, Chao Xian spoke softly, "Didn't Ziyan say he was going to rest?"
Mu Yunzhou said matter-of-factly, "It's better to let him go out and have fun with his peers than to stay at home all day."
"But those people just now must be your younger siblings... right?"
Chao Xian spoke cautiously.
Mu Yunzhou seems to have two sides, constantly changing.
Mu Yunzhou hummed in agreement.
They didn't care how their younger siblings, who were in their twenties, played with twelve-year-old Mu Ziyan.
He was eager to let Chao Xian go and rest first.
Having gotten up too early today and met so many people, Chao Xian has been on edge the whole time. Mu Yunzhou just wants Chao Xian to relax.
Chao Xian followed Mu Yunzhou upstairs. There were only three rooms on the second floor of the small attic. The largest room was the master bedroom, and the other two were guest rooms and a study.
Chao Xian was about to go into the guest room.
Unexpectedly, Mu Yunzhou opened the door to the master bedroom directly: "You rest here. I still have a few documents to process. I'll sleep in the guest room tonight."
Mu Yunzhou knew without a doubt that the guest rooms probably didn't have beds, so he told Chao Xian to go directly to the master bedroom to rest.
Upon hearing this, Chao Xian nodded without hesitation and agreed.
"There should be a lot of things in the master bedroom. Those are all gifts from them to you. Open them and take a look. If you don't like them, I'll take you to the storeroom to pick some out later."
Mu Yunzhou looked at Chao Xian intently.
Chao Xian gave an "oh," but before he could say anything, he saw Mu Yunzhou turn and walk towards the study.
Chao Xian stood there for a while before turning around and entering the room.
There were some snacks on the coffee table, and gifts neatly arranged on the shelf next to it, each with a note indicating who sent them.
What Mu's mother gave him was a series of property deeds, from domestic to foreign estates, large and small, all now bearing Chao Xian's name.
The gifts from others were not as valuable as those from Mu Mu, but they were still very precious.
There was even a person named Jiao Jie who sent a contract, offering her the exclusive domestic endorsement deal for the top luxury brand CL!
When Chao Xian saw the gift, he was stunned for a moment. He looked at it over and over again and confirmed that it was indeed CL's contract.
It even has an official seal; all that's needed is for Chao Xian to sign his name.
He is CL's only spokesperson in China.
Ke Chaoxian glanced at it, then put the item back.
Chao Xian was well aware that her own status was insufficient to secure endorsement deals.
Chao Xian had many thoughts on his mind, but the moment he lay down on the bed, he probably relaxed suddenly and quickly fell asleep.
After finishing his work, Mu Yunzhou tidied up the guest room area.
Someone downstairs came over to tell us that it was almost time to eat.
Mu Yunzhou said "okay" and glanced at the master bedroom.
Then he went into the master bedroom and glanced at Chao Xian who was sleeping. He was just thinking of not disturbing Chao Xian's rest.
As a result, Chao Xian woke up on his own when he heard footsteps.
Upon opening her eyes, she saw Mu Yunzhou. After pausing for a moment, she softly asked, "Is it time for dinner?"
Mu Yunzhou hummed in agreement, squatted down by the bed and looked at Chao Xian: "If you're still sleepy, I'll bring it back to you later."
Chao Xian felt it was not good.
He quickly shook his head.
Mu Yunzhou got up to get clothes for Chao Xian.
Chao Xian yawned and sat up. Mu Yunzhou draped his clothes over Chao Xian and then buttoned them up.
By the time Chao Xian realized he needed to get dressed, he was already dressed.
Chao Xian found Mu Yunzhou's natural demeanor strange, but didn't think much of it.
The Mu family is particular about meals; they only begin eating when the old lady arrives.
However, Chao Xian did not see Mu Ziyan.
After the meal, the old lady pulled Chao Xian aside and talked for a long time.
It wasn't until Muqi said that the old lady should take a nap that she was taken away.
The young people are all preparing to leave the old house and go back to City A for fun. As long as they come back before mealtime, no one will say anything to them.
Chao Xian sent a message to Mu Ziyan, waiting for Mu Ziyan to come to him.
When Mu Ziyan arrived, he seemed quite unwell, listless and dejected.
Seeing Mu Ziyan's appearance, Chao Xian found it amusing: "What's wrong? It's only been a morning since I last saw you, how did you become like this?"
Hearing this, Mu Ziyan sighed: "They've been arguing in my yard all morning."
Tell Mu Ziyan to go out horseback riding and racing.
But Mu Ziyan can't ride a horse, and as for racing, he's still a minor!
He said he wouldn't go, but those people still insisted on taking him out to play.
Mu Ziyan didn't dare to come out until lunchtime.
Upon hearing this, Chao Xian couldn't help but think of the culprit behind this incident.
silence.
Then she whispered, "I didn't dare eat much at noon, and I'm a little hungry. Why don't you treat me to barbecue?"
Before speaking, Chao Xian even glanced around to see if anyone was there.
Mu Ziyan hadn't even touched the lunch that was delivered to her when she received a message from Chao Xian.
Upon hearing Chao Xian's words, Mu Ziyan immediately nodded and said, "Then I'll have someone prepare a car!"
Upon hearing this, Chao Xian nodded quickly and looked at Mu Ziyan with delight.
When they arrived at the door, they saw Mu Yunzhou standing there: "Let's go, I'll drive you."
Chao Xian glanced at Mu Yunzhou. The drivers not far away were busy with their own things and didn't look in their direction.
How did you know we were going out?
Upon hearing this, Mu Yunzhou chuckled and softly explained to Chao Xian in front of him.
“You only ate two bites at noon before going to find Mu Ziyan. It’s obvious you didn’t eat enough. I was about to send you a message when I came out and overheard Mu Ziyan’s driver saying that you needed a car.”
Upon hearing this, Chao Xian felt inexplicably guilty, as if he had been seen through.
Ignoring what the two were saying, Mu Ziyan grabbed one of them with each hand and said, "Hurry up, stop talking, the barbecue is waiting for us!"
Fortunately, no one bothered Mu Ziyan for the next two days.
Even on the day of the New Year's Eve banquet, guests kept coming to the old house.
This is the Mu family's annual banquet, and it's also the Mu family's way of showing other families their strength and resources.
This deterred some people who coveted the Mu family.
The Mu family only holds its annual banquet once every five years.
And each of the people invited was no ordinary individual.
Muyunzhou was exceptionally busy that day.
Even the usually deserted courtyard had someone specially sent over today to take care of Chao Xian and guard the courtyard to prevent guests from entering.
Chao Xian sat in the courtyard, and the clever young man next to him brought him some snacks that the kitchen had just made that day.
"Brother Chao, it's very chaotic outside today. You can tell me what you want, and I'll take you to the small hall for a meal later."
According to seniority, this person must be Rong Heng, a distant nephew of Mu Yunzhou from the Rong family.
Later, I started working for the Mu family because of Mu's mother.
Chao Xian asked with some curiosity, "Small hall? Is that the restaurant where we ate before?"
Rong Heng shook his head and explained softly.
"The small hall is for large banquets like the New Year's banquet and wedding banquet. Only the Mu and Rong families can dine there. Of course, you can go to the main hall if you want, but it will be very noisy and you won't be able to eat much there."
Chao Xian understood. The small hall was considering those in the host family who didn't like crowds, since large banquets were almost always business banquets.
"It's alright, we'll go to the small hall in a bit."
Rong Heng nodded and smiled as he spoke to Chao Xian: "Actually, tomorrow's banquet is the one we should be looking forward to the most."
Tomorrow is Lunar New Year's Eve.
Chao Xian's curiosity was piqued when he heard Rong Heng say this.
"Tomorrow is the young master's birthday, and the New Year's Eve banquet will be even more grand than today's banquet. Many dishes have already started to be prepared today."
Rong Heng's eyes were full of joy as he told Chao Xian about the dishes from previous years.
However, Chao Xian didn't listen to anything after that.
Upon hearing the first sentence, Chao Xian was stunned.
"Is tomorrow Ziyan's birthday?"
Rong Heng was stunned: "Don't you know? The young master's birthday is New Year's Eve."
As soon as he finished speaking, Rong Heng realized that Chao Xian and Mu Yunzhou got married at the beginning of the year, long after Mu Ziyan's birthday.
"I forgot, you and Mr. Mu just got married at the beginning of the year."
Chao Xian realized what was happening and said softly, "I want to go out for a bit, but don't worry, I'll be back before lunch."
There are still two or three hours until lunchtime.
Rong Heng felt a little nervous upon hearing this, as it was currently the busiest time of day outside.
What I fear most is that someone might offend Chao Xian.
"If you want to buy a birthday present for the young master, why don't you wait until the afternoon? There's enough time then." Rong Heng's suggestion made sense.
Chao Xian nodded: "Okay, thank you for reminding me, otherwise I'm afraid I really wouldn't know Ziyan's birthday."
Neither Mu Yunzhou nor Mu Ziyan mentioned their birthdays.
Chao Xian naturally didn't know.
But now that we know...
Chao Xian wouldn't pretend he didn't know.
Do you know Mu-ge's birthday?
Rong Heng nodded quickly: "It's the day after Grain Rain, but Xiao Mu never likes celebrating his birthday. He thinks it's too noisy."
Rong Heng also felt helpless when talking about this matter.
The old house was originally intended to be a birthday celebration for Mu Yunzhou.
Later, seeing that Mu Yunzhou really didn't like it, he let it go.
Chao Xian silently made a note of it, and then listened to Rong Heng talk about what Mu Yunzhou had done at the old house.
After finishing their meal, Mu Ziyan originally wanted to ask Chao Xian to go out and have some fun, but she only heard Rong Heng say that Chao Xian seemed to have gone out because of something.
Mu Ziyan could only return to her room by herself.
I didn't see Chao Xian until evening.
"Babo! Why didn't you take me with you when you went out this afternoon?!"
Mu Ziyan felt somewhat wronged.
Upon hearing this, Chao Xian placed his hand on Mu Ziyan's face and rubbed it: "Something suddenly came up and I had to go out. I didn't have time to tell you. I'm sorry, Ziyan."
Before Mu Ziyan could speak, Chao Xian handed her the milk tea, saying, "But I brought you milk tea."
Ziyan knew that her beloved Babo was thinking of her!
He chuckled and sat down next to his beloved boyfriend, sipping his milk tea.
Mu Yunzhou came over and saw Mu Ziyan in this state.
"Dinner is almost ready."
"You're jealous of me. You didn't get the milk tea that Babo bought!" Mu Ziyan turned her head away.
Upon hearing this, Mu Yunzhou sneered at Mu Ziyan.
Then she glanced at Chao Xian, squatted down in front of him, and pitifully asked, "Chao Chao, is there really none for me?"
Mu Ziyan's eyes widened, and she stopped drinking her milk tea.
What are you doing! What are you doing!
This is absolutely despicable and shameless!
She's using her looks to bribe Babo!
Several younger siblings who happened to be passing by heard Mu Yunzhou's voice, turned around, and shuddered at the sight of him.
no……
Is this Muyunzhou?
This is Mu Yunzhou, who used to find them noisy when he was a child, but is ruthless and doesn't talk much, and just starts beating them up.
Is this fake?
Everyone gasped.
Chao Xian looked at Mu Yunzhou, then glanced at the people around him. Feeling stared at, Chao Xian's face immediately turned red: "You're going to argue with a child?"
Chao Xian used his hand to pull Mu Yunzhou.
It couldn't be pulled up.
Chao Xian was about to say something when he saw Mu Yunzhou suddenly smile.
"Chaochao, you are so cute."
