131 Mu Yao’s Background

After entering the private room, Mu Ci acted as if nothing had happened. He instructed the waiter to serve the dishes and personally scooped some soup for Bei Shuo. He said gently, “Try it and see if you like it.”

Bei Shuo took a sip of the soup and praised, “Wow, good soup!”

Mu Ci smiled and turned to the table. “It’s easy if you like it. We’ll come often in the future.”

Bei Shuo tilted her head and asked in all seriousness, “Brother, do you not like my cooking?”

Mu Ci was stunned. “No! I like it!”

He immediately understood what she meant and patted her head with a smile. “I can’t bear for you to cook for me every meal! I can eat normally now. How can I still need you to do these things every day? Your time is already very tight.”

Bei Shuo’s homework was very intense. Now that she had walked right into Dr. Li’s trap, her workload was naturally several times that of others.

Bei Shuo replied, “It’s alright. Time can always be squeezed out. As long as Brother likes it.”

Mu Ci picked up a piece of beef with his chopsticks and said seriously, “No, I can’t bear for you to tire yourself out. Isn’t it good for us to come out and eat like this?”

Bei Shuo picked up the beef tenderloin and ate it. As she ate, she nodded and said with a smile, “Oh, you think Grandpa is too noisy! I’ll go home and tell Grandpa!”

Mu Ci patted her. “How naughty!”

He looked at her and smiled helplessly.

Bei Shuo scooped a bowl of soup for Mu Ci. “Brother, try it. It’s really delicious.”

The two of them continued to feed each other and the atmosphere was harmonious. Mu Ci seemed to have forgotten about what had just happened. Bei Shuo wanted to say something but hesitated. She was curious and didn’t want Mu Ci to be unhappy. For a moment, she didn’t know if she should ask.

“Mu Yao and I are half-siblings. Lin Jun is my father’s mistress. They’ve been together for many years,” Mu Ci said calmly as she drank her soup.

Bei Shuo was caught off guard and stood rooted to the ground.

“Lin Jun was an orphan. When she was young, she was fostered by her aunt’s family. She studied hard and worked hard. She had her own career. She was a rather famous painter and had her own art company and art gallery. She had nothing to do with the Mu Family’s business. My father was devoted to her, and she had always kept to her duty.” Mu Ci’s tone was calm as he narrated. Bei Shuo listened attentively.

“13 years ago, my grandma needed bone marrow because of a blood disease. She never found a suitable match. It was Mu Yao’s umbilical cord blood that saved Grandma and extended her lifespan by six years. Lin Jun didn’t use this to threaten us. She only said that she would have to save strangers too. She said that between her and my father, she only talked about feelings and nothing else. Therefore, Mu Yao entered the family’s genealogy but didn’t return to the Mu Family.”

Bei Shuo felt that this was a plot that couldn’t even be written in a novel.

“Ms. Lin Jun is quite impressive.” Bei Shuo sighed.

Mu Ci glanced at her and didn’t say anything.

Bei Shuo stuck out her tongue, knowing that she had misspoken.

No matter how amazing Madam Lin Jun was, she had still ruined someone else’s marriage. To Madam Duan Si, this was extremely immoral.

The door of the private room was gently pushed open.

Bei Shuo thought it was the attendant, but when she turned around, she was surprised to see that it was Mu Yao.

She hurried over and took her arm, smiling broadly. “I’m here to see you two. I don’t want to eat with Mom and Dad.”

Without waiting for a greeting, she sat down herself. “Let me see what delicious food you have here.”

Bei Shuo quickly passed her a pair of common chopsticks. “What do you want to eat?”

Mu Yao took the chopsticks but didn’t pick up any food. Instead, she looked at Bei Shuo. “Sister-in-law, you’re so pretty!”

This little girl was obsessed with looks.

Bei Shuo smiled and said, “You look good too!”

“Only you are worthy of my Big Brother!” Mu Yao said loudly.

Mu Ci passed a bowl of soup to her and smiled faintly. “Hurry up and drink some soup. Stop currying favor!”

Mu Yao brought the bowl over and pouted. “I’m not currying favor! Sister-in-law, are you good at math?”

Bei Shuo was stunned. “What? Mathematics?”

Mu Yao sighed. “I’m very bad at math. My mother said that if I don’t do well, she’ll spank me. She found me a mathematics tutor to teach me, but I don’t like her. If you’re good at math, can you be my tutor?”

Bei Shuo and Mu Ci exchanged glances. They really didn’t know what to say.

“Why don’t you like her?” Mu Ci asked.

“Sigh, not only is she ugly, but she also keeps glancing at Dad. Although Dad is already very old and my mother doesn’t treat her as an opponent at all, I mind very much! I want to fire her, but if I tell her this reason, my mother will have to teach me a lesson again.”

The little girl shrugged. “So the best thing to do is for me to find someone better.”
