Chapter 8: Chapter 8

Meeting the Parents Together

Mu Chen and Duan Si were already waiting in the living room when Mu Ci and Bei Shuo returned.

Mu Ci introduced Mu Chen to Bei Shuo. “This is Grandpa.”

“Hello, Grandpa!” Bei Shuo bowed obediently.

“This is my mother!”

“Hello, Auntie!” Bei Shuo bowed again.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Mu Ci glared at her.

Bei Shuo was confused.

“My mother is your mother-in-law. You have to call her mother.” Mu Ci was unhappy again.

Bei Shuo looked at Duan Si and was stunned.

Mu Ci sighed. Bei Shuo’s brain was obviously not following the rhythm. She was probably still reveling in the joy of marrying someone she knew instead of some random stranger. She had not even realized that she was already married.

He did not know how she survived. She had such a slow reaction that it was a surprise she could last so long.

“Ahem!” Mu Chen coughed.

“Whatever. My salutation isn’t important. Mu Ci, why didn’t you tell your family before going to register? Are you trying to embarrass us? If your father asks, I don’t know what to say!” Duan Si did not care about the form of address. Anyway, she did not like the girl. Although she had agreed to do as her father-in-law asked, she could not help but vent her dissatisfaction.

Mu Ci pulled Bei Shuo’s hand and made her stand beside him. He said calmly, “Her name is Bei Shuo. From today onwards, she’s my wife. She’s still young and doesn’t know many of the Mu family’s rules, so we’ll go back to my villa to stay. Grandpa, we’ll come back every weekend.”

Mu Ci did not respond to Duan Si’s words.

Duan Si looked at Mu Chen for help.

Mu Chen was sizing up Bei Shuo when he heard this. He smiled and said, “She’s a blessed child. I like her! I don’t care about the matters of you young people. Since you’ve married her, you have to treat her well. I can tell she’s a very innocent and kind girl. I didn’t expect the Bei family to raise such a good daughter.”

Mu Ci nodded gently. “Yes, Grandpa. I’ll definitely treat her well. If there’s nothing else, we’ll go back.”

Duan Si quickly stood up. “Eat before you leave. Your father and Mu En haven’t returned yet. Wait a little longer…

Mu Ci said mildly, “No, let’s meet again this weekend.”

With that, he turned the wheelchair around.

Bei Shuo quickly pushed his wheelchair, but she felt that something was wrong. She turned around and bowed to Mu Chen and Duan Si. “We’re leaving!”

Seeing the two of them leave, Duan Si heaved a sigh of relief. She pointed at the door and said to Mu Chen, “Dad, just look at that! She’s really a country girl! She doesn’t know any rules. What’s the use of having a beautiful face? Huh? What’s the use?”

“Also, look at Mu Ci. What kind of attitude is this?”

As Duan Si spoke, tears fell again.

Mu Chen softened his voice and advised, “It’s already not bad that he still brought the girl over for us to see. Is there anything else you’re dissatisfied with? It’s not like you don’t know his temper. As his parents, you owe him, but you’re unwilling to lower your status and apologize properly. Do you really have to pick on his attitude? I can’t help you with this matter.”

Duan Si silently left, feeling sad and alone.

Mu Chen sighed softly. As a father and grandfather, he had to keep getting involved with their problems!

Butler Old Jiang walked over gently.

Mu Chen closed his eyes to rest and asked, “What did you learn?”

Old Jiang bowed slightly and lowered his voice to tell Mu Chen everything he had heard from Liu Ming.

Mu Chen suddenly opened his eyes. “What did you say? Does the girl actually have the other half of Mu Ci’s jade pendant? Is she the girl who saved Mu Ci back then?”

Old Jiang nodded. “Liu Ming thinks so. Young Master changed the engagement to a proposal. Moreover, Young Master wrote a prenuptial agreement and gave all his assets to that girl.”

Mu Chen waved his hand. “That’s good, that’s good. This way, at least Mu Ci will have someone he truly likes by his side. This is a good thing, a good thing! Tell everyone that the marriage is his call!”

“Yes!” Old Jiang quickly responded.

Mu Chen was very excited. “It must be heaven’s will for them to reunite. I couldn’t find her no matter how hard I tried, but they reunited anyway. Go and investigate this girl again. I think she’s a down-to-earth young woman. It doesn’t matter if she understands the rules or not. As long as she has a good character, it’s fine! I don’t ask for anything. As long as my eldest grandson is happy, anything is fine!”
