48 Her Biological Motherâs Slander
These smooth words made Madam Bei look high-end and classy, but they also demoted her biological daughter, Bei Shuo, to the dust.
Even Chen Hai could not stand it anymore.
He patted Mu Ciâs shoulder and raised his voice to interrupt Shen Yuâs endless belittling.
âBei Shuo, come, let me take a look at your hair. Such a beautiful young lady has to dress up properly. Recently, a director friend of mine has accepted a grand drama and is choosing the female lead everywhere. I think! Youâll definitely be the female lead if he sees you!â
Bei Shuo was forced onto the chair by Chen Hai and he started to tidy up her hair.
Hearing that, Shen Yuâs face turned cold when she saw a hairdresser boasting so shamelessly.
âBei Shuo! What kind of rule is this? Why are you doing your hair in front of your elders? Is this what I taught you at home? Hurry up and go away. Youâre a member of the Mu Family now. If you make a mistake, not only will you embarrass our Bei Family, but also the Mu Family! Why are you so insensible?â Shen Yuâs voice was very stern.
Bei Le hurriedly advised, âMom, donât be like this. After all, Sister didnât grow up in our family. How can she learn all the etiquette and rules so quickly? This is the Mu Family. Itâs Auntie Muâs business to discipline Sister in the future. You canât overstep your boundaries!â
Upon hearing that, Shen Yu hurriedly held Duan Siâs hand and apologized. âIn-law, Iâm really sorry. As a mother, she always has endless worries. Tell me, sigh, I really have no choice. Please discipline Bei Shuo more in the future.â
Duan Si retracted her hand and said coldly, âI donât dare to discipline her!â
Shen Yu was stunned.
Song Nan smiled gently. âMadam Bei, donât blame us. My auntie has been a little angry because of Mu Ciâs health. Since youâre here, we can ask you now. Where did Bei Shuo learn her medical skills? I wonder who her master is. Tell us so that we can rest assured.â
Shen Yu was stunned. She exchanged glances with Bei Le. Bei Le was in a daze when she saw the handsome hairdresser behind Bei Shuo. Bei Le couldnât help but say, âMy sister doesnât know medicine!â
Mu Chen couldnât stand it anymore and coughed heavily.
These women fell silent.
Bei Shuo was about to speak when Mu Ci squeezed her hand, indicating for her to listen to Grandpa.
Mu Chen said in a low voice, âBei Shuo is my acknowledged granddaughter-in-law. Sheâs the legitimate Young Madam of the Mu Family. I wonât allow anyone to slander and bully her!â
The women were all stunned. They had different feelings.
Bei Shuo was extremely touched and her impetuousness calmed down. Grandpa and Mu Ci liked her. She didnât need to care about anyone else, even her biological mother.
Duan Si and Song Nan werenât surprised by the Old Masterâs bias, but their disappointment and anger were real. Song Nan lowered her eyes, but Duan Si glared at Bei Shuo.
Shen Yu and Bei Le were shocked. No one knew better than them how unlikable Bei Shuo was after spending more than a month with her. It was precisely because they were clear about her words and actions and knew that she would definitely make the Mu Family look down on her that Shen Yu lowered her attitude and criticized Bei Shuo first.
Her goal was to make the Mu Family sympathize with her. She really had no choice with such an annoying daughter. She had disciplined her, but she failed. She had to make the Mu family acknowledge her as in-laws. No matter what, Mu Ci would be her son-in-law since he married Bei Shuo!
However, although this plan had worked, it did not have the expected effect.
âAlright! Letâs see how my culinary skills are.â Chen Hai broke the silence and proudly showed everyone, and Mu Ci Bei Shuoâs hair.
âLet me tell you guys that this girl is so good-looking. Sheâll get extra points no matter how she dresses up or doesnât dress up! Iâm an out-and-out beauty fan! Sheâll be my exclusive client from now on. I wonât allow you to take her to find another stylist. Do you hear me?â Chen Hai said to Mu Ci domineeringly.
Mu Ci said calmly, âConditions?â
âAh? Conditions? Mu Ci, can you be reasonable? I! Chen Hai! Not only did I not take a single cent from cutting your hair, but youâre also negotiating conditions with me?â Chen Hai was furious.
Mu Ci said calmly, âThen Iâll find another stylist.â
âAlright, alright. State your conditions.â Chen Hai surrendered.
Mu Ci stroked Bei Shuoâs hair and said calmly, âI havenât thought about it. Iâll tell you when Iâve thought about it.â
Chen Hai was furious. âHmph! I havelet you take advantage of me again. Sigh! Itâs so rare for such good hair to not be permed or dyed. If not for my little sister, I wouldnât have bothered with you!â
