Wen Ying smiled and said, “Then Ah Ning, you have to choose carefully. Grandma Yue can even put down her pride to matchmake you and Huo Ge. It looks like after today, Ah Ning’s net worth will be different among the families in the capital.”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“That’s right. Ah Ning, with your current identity, even ten Lin Yin can’t compare to you,” Lu Yue said.

With Lu Yue’s status, she would not flatter an adopted orphan girl, but the enemy of an enemy was a friend. Lin Yin was Lu Yan’s friend, so she was Lu

Yue’s enemy.

Therefore, as long as it was something that made Lu Yan and the other people around her unhappy, she was naturally happy to see it happen.

The more Mu Ning listened, the more arrogant she became. When she saw Yue Shan approaching her with Sun Yun, her expression became arrogant.

However, Yue Shan was an old woman and an elder, so Mu Ning could not show too much disrespect on her face. Therefore, when Sun Yun went forward to ask her to greet her, Mu Ning still greeted Yue Shan politely, “Hello, Grandma Yue!”

Yue Shan had lived for decades. No matter how much Mu Ning pretended to respect her, she could still capture the disdain in Mu Nings eyes.

Yue Shan, who had planned to be more amiable, simply put on a straight face. She ignored Mu Ning’s greeting, which surprised Mu Ning.

What was wrong with Yue Shan? Didn’t she say that she wanted to matchmake her and Huo Ge? Why did she have such an attitude? Could it be that Yue Shan was going to act like a Grandma before she married into the Huo Family?

Mu Ning’s expression darkened at the thought, especially when she saw the expressions of the people around her.

Originally, she had called her friends over because these people were all at the Huo Family’s banquet back then. She wanted everyone to see how Yue Shan, who had looked down on her back then, treated her sincerely so that she could wash away her embarrassment.

Unexpectedly, Yue Shan’s character was really bad. She did not even agree to be with her grandson, but Yue Shan took advantage of her and wanted to deal with her like her future daughter-in-law.

Since that was the case, she would not show mercy when Huo Ge wooed her. She also wanted to embarrass the Huo Family.

Yue Shan could not be bothered to guess what a child was thinking. She just said calmly, “Today, Brother Mu and Sister Sun are holding a banquet. For the sake of our many years of friendship, I’ll put down everything and come.”

The meaning behind Yue Shan’s words was quite obvious. She came because of their many years of friendship and it had nothing to do with Mu Ning.

Even when Yue Shan spoke, her tone did not seem very nice. However, Yue Shan had always been like this. She was not someone to be trifled with in the capital, so the people around her were not surprised.

Yue Shan glanced at Mu Ning with disdain and continued, “The blessings that should be given are all in the gift. It’s about time for us to leave.”

Mu Ning naturally did not miss the disdain in Yue Shan’s eyes. She suppressed her temper and tried her best to control her emotions. “Grandma Yue, why are you leaving so quickly? I haven’t cut my cake yet. Why don’t you wait for me with Brother Huo Ge and Huo Bing? I’ll personally present you with my birthday cake later to thank you for coming to celebrate my birthday.”

As soon as Mu Ning finished speaking, Yue Shan rejected her. “There’s no need for this cake. I still have to rush to Yinyin’s place to give her my blessings. It’s her birthday today, so I can’t not go. When the time comes, I’ll just eat her cake.”

As soon as Yue Shan finished speaking, Mu Ning’s expression became especially interesting, as if she wanted to be angry, but she could only force a forced smile. It was stiff and ugly.

As for the people who were still talking about Yue Shan being a fence sitter and abandoning Lin Yin to choose Mu Ning, their expressions were a little awkward.

Sun Yun said unhappily, “Yue Shan, are you still going to Lin Yin’s place?”

Yue Shan nodded seriously and said, “Of course. Lin Yin is a junior I like. I have to go to her birthday.”

Mu Ning said stiffly, “Isn’t it bad for Grandma Yue to be like this? Of course, I don’t mean anything else. I just feel that it’s tiring for Grandma Yue to run back and forth.”

Sun Yun also persuaded from the side, “That’s right. Why are you going back and forth? Just stay here. I’ll get someone to tell them later..”
