“We’ve invited our guests with a sincere heart. However, certain people did not bother to pay their honor to us by showing up and had instead handed the invitation card over to others. So, why should I show my respect for them in return?” A bone-chilling light with a hint of sinister flashed across Song Yi’s eyes, sending shivers down the spine.
Mu Tingfeng understood Song Yi’s words and did not continue to ask anything further. He cast a final glance at the area where those people were. Likewise, an incredibly cold and sinister look appeared in his eyes just like Song Yi.
At that time, unbeknownst to those people, after they had got into their car and left the Song family’s house in a hurry, delighted over the fact that they had escaped from danger, they had no idea that their tragedy had just begun.
After that family had run away, the banquet resumed its normal peace. Song Yi asked his servants to clean up the mess left behind. The guests who had watched a good show just now resumed their hilarity and talked to each other.
After experiencing such an accident, Zhao Youlin had wanted to take Joy home first. However, Ling Yuemei wanted to play with Joy so much. As such, Zhao Youlin felt it was inappropriate to leave just like this.
After Zhao Youlin thought it over for some time, she put Joy on the floor and briefly explained the situation to Ling Yuemei. Of course, Zhao Youlin went through the story in general as she blurted out, “Just now, Joy was knocked down to the floor by a child. He accidentally fell and cried. Xiao Mei, you’re a good girl. When you play with Joy later, don’t go running around with him. Otherwise, Joy will fall down and burst into tears again.”
Ling Yuemei did not refute her at any point. She nodded her head obediently. “Okay, okay, okay! I wouldn’t run around with Joy. I would protect him and not let anyone bump into him.”
On the other hand, Mu Wanting was not as gullible as Ling Yuemei. After Mu Wanting finished checking her beloved dog, she heard several noble women’s whispers. Even though she could not hear them very clearly, she more or less could figure out the entire story based on her own intelligence and wit.
She was unhappy to find that Joy was so weak. However, when she was reminded that Joy was younger than her and Ling Yuemei, she became angry at that family who had bullied Joy.
Mu Wanting casually went up to the two children. She acted maturely by faking a cough and said smugly, “Aunt Youlin is so capable and you’re so cute, for these two reasons alone, I’ll reluctantly call you my younger brother.” Mu Wanting said proudly to Joy, “In the future, you have me as your elder sister to protect you. Whoever dares to bully you, tell me, and I’ll help you out by asking Hobbit to bite them!”
Ling Ran was once again struck dumb by this image. The corners of his lips unwittingly twitched. Were kids nowadays growing mature so rapidly and behaved so violently as well?
If this continued, he was afraid that he would develop a phobia against children. The moment Ling Ran imagined his own children growing up to become like the two, he felt that his future was bleak!
Ling Yuemei was not happy upon hearing Mu Wanting’s words. This kid had just had her dog bite Joy and his mother. Now, she had come over to ride on his coattails. Joy was her younger brother, he could not be the mean and bad child’s younger brother!
“He doesn’t need you! He doesn’t need you! Joy is my younger brother. I would protect him. You’re not needed.” Ling Yuemei held Joy’s hand and he was pulled to her side. Her large eyes were widely open and were filled with hostility as she glared at Mu Wanting.
“He’s not your younger brother! Joy is Uncle Tingfeng and Aunt Youlin’s son. So, he is naturally my younger brother as well! You have nothing to do with him. He’s not your younger brother! Stop lying!” Mu Wanting refused to be outdone by her. She also pulled Joy’s other hand and shot a glance at Ling Yuemei provocatively.
Ling Yuemei was so angry that her eyes turned red. The two widened their eyes as they locked gazes with each other.
The two young ladies of the great family were the apple of their families’ eyes. Each of them held Joy’s hand and glared at each other indignantly. Meanwhile, Joy was sandwiched between them and he was at a loss. After some time, only then did he recover his senses. He sought help from Zhao Youlin and yelled at her, “Mommy…”
“Pfff! Joy, I never thought you would be so charming even at such a very young age. Many girls get jealous and are fighting over you. You truly are worthy of being my precious grandson!” Before Zhao Youlin had said anything, Su Ruixin, who was standing at the side, was so excited that she lunged at the children and hugged her huggable grandson very tightly.
Zhao Youlin rolled her eyes at her in resignation, She reached out and touched Joy’s head. “Many older sisters like you, Joy. You should be happy instead. But, you two could not fight against each other because of him. Otherwise, I wouldn’t let Joy play with you guys anymore.”
As soon as the two girls heard Zhao Youlin’s words, they gradually restrained themselves. However, after giving one final glance at each other, they turned their faces to the other side arrogantly and snorted in unison.
Zhao Youlin thought to herself. ‘What’s with these brats?! Indeed, creatures like them give us the heaviest headache.’
When Su Qing and the rest of her group were assured that Zhao Youlin and the children were fine, they heaved a sigh of relief. They walked to the other side and greeted Ling Ran and Mu Ruyao.
“Eh, Big Brother Yao and dear sister-in-law, why didn’t I see my cousin around? Aunt Ruixin said that you have taken Wanting along to look for them. Why didn’t they come together?”
Mu Ruyao was the son of Mu Tingfeng’s uncle. He was more capable compared to other children. Therefore, he was taken to the former master of the Mu family’s main residence. He had been trained and cultivated to be Mu Tingfeng’s right-hand man in the future.
As such, Su Qing knew Mu Ruyao as her elder brother from a very young age. Apart from Mu Tingfeng, Su Qing also addressed him as Big Brother Yao.
It was a pure coincidence. The former master of the Su family found Mu Ruyao and Duan Huaixue’s daughter congenial to him. He had laid his eyes on her when he visited Su Ruixin.
While Mu Wanting appeared fierce in the eyes of Mu Ruyao and the rest of his group, perhaps, her innate banditry reminded the former master of his younger self — a fierce badass.
As such, the couple had had a headache for a period of time.
No matter how, ever since then, whenever Mu Wanting returned to her home country, she always had to first pay a visit to the former master of the Su family.
“Jifeng is parking his car. So, he asked us to come over here first.” Right after Mu Ruyao spoke, the main character they were talking about had already entered through the main entrance.
The originally noisy banquet was once again plunged into suffocating silence upon his appearance.
Under such an atmosphere, Zhao Youlin naturally caught sight of this man who had come late. At the same time, her heart let out a thump.
The man who was approaching them had a very normal appearance. Precisely because of his normal look that Zhao Youlin felt a chill sent down her spine as he was gradually walking toward her.
“Who is this…” Zhao Youlin reflexively inquired about the person’s identity from Mu Tingfeng who was standing next to her.
However, before she had finished speaking, Mu Tingfeng furrowed his eyebrows. He went up to her in a flash and blocked her view..
