“Mommy really knows what to say. Since Little Xinxin needs a fashionable necklace, let sister give you this one. Take a look and see if you like it!”
Saying this, Mu Chengxu put the gold necklace back into the box Mu Chengxi was holding and took a jewelry box from the side table.
She opened the jewelry box, and a dazzling diamond necklace appeared before Wen Xin.
“Little Xinxin, do you like this? I had my assistant specifically go abroad to buy this for you. It’s a limited edition from the HuaLuo brand…”
“It’s too lavish for me.
Wen Xin didn’t like such flashy items; her dressing was very simple, and she didn’t have any clothes to match this necklace.
“No, no, no, it suits you perfectly. When I saw this promotional photo, my first thought was that this necklace was meant for you. Don’t rush to decline it; diamonds are timeless, especially items designed by major brands. Even ten years from now, it will still be a hit, so you’ll definitely use it someday. Just accept it!”
Mu Chengxu didn’t give Wen Xin any chance to refuse, pushing the necklace’s box into Wen Xin’s hands.
“We’ve all given our gifts; what have you prepared for Wen Xin?”
Mu Chengxu looked at Mu Chengxi, who was sitting back and enjoying the show, and nudged his leg with her foot, her voice laced with teasing.
“Me? Do I need to give a gift? I thought giving myself to her was enough.”
Mu Chengxi, looking provocatively at Mu Chengxu, stretched his arm out, wrapping it around Wen Xin from behind and pulling her into his embrace.
“So shameless!” Old Madam Mu, rarely seeing Mu Chengxi so relaxed and in such a good mood, lightly laughed and spoke, causing everyone in the room to burst into laughter.
Only Wen Xin turned her head to look at Mu Chengxi without laughing, looking at him with deep affection. To her, Mu Chengxi was indeed the best birthday gift.
She was now looking forward to the evening.
Mu Chengxi, looking at Wen Xin, seemed to fully understand her gaze for the first time. He saw expectation in her eyes and suddenly felt his mouth go dry, wondering if it was as he thought.
“Old Madam, lunch is ready. You can now go to the dining room to eat!”
The butler respectfully came in from outside. He didn’t want to disturb such a
harmonious scene, but Auntie Fu specifically instructed that the seafood wouldn’t taste good if it cooled down.
“Alright, let’s go eat. Little Yao and Little Xinxin don’t have to rush back after lunch; we can chat more later!”
Old Madam Mu’s yard was rarely this lively. Previously, when people gathered, it was often with hidden tensions. Old Madam Mu seldom called these people back to the old house.
Today’s happiness was thanks to Wen Xin. It seems Wen Xin truly was a lucky star for the Mu family.
In the Vice President’s office of the Mu Corporation, Mu Jinsong sat opposite Mu Jingang, exaggeratingly describing the noon gathering at the Mu family’s old house.
“Big brother, what does Mom mean by this? It’s one thing not to call the Third
Brother back, but why only invite the Fifth and Sixth? Isn’t that too much?”
Mu Jinsong was infuriated upon hearing about the events at the Mu family’s old house. Silently passing the head of the family position to Mu Chengxi was already too much. Now, holding a small gathering behind their backs was even more upsetting.
“Even if she called you, you might not have wanted to go. Why bother calling us back just to make her own life difficult? But what I didn’t expect is that mom would be so fond of the little girl Mu Chengxi brought home. A single girl has Mu Chengxi completely enchanted; it’s really disgraceful!”
Thinking of Mu Chengxi taking over as the head of the family made him feel depressed, but now, hearing about Mu Chengxi’s excessive affection for a girl from the countryside, he thought it was quite fitting.
A girl with no family background to speak of, what help could she possibly provide? In the end, Mu Chengxi might just be ruined by that girl. Then, all they need to do is sit back and enjoy the show.
Hearing Mu Jingang mention Wen Xin, Mu Jinsong thought of the news that Mu Zhan brought back home a few days ago and sneered.
“Mu Chengxi has grown too arrogant in Beijing. He doesn’t know the immensity of heaven and earth at all. He thinks it’s still the time when the old man was alive, going around causing trouble, expecting others to clean up his mess!”
Listening to Mu Jinsong’s words, Mu Jingang felt there was more to it. He snuffed out his cigarette and looked up, “What? Did Seventh Brother cause trouble again? His penchant for troublemaking, I wonder when he’ll change.”
“It’s not him this time. It’s his little girlfriend, that country bumpkin, thinking she can do whatever she wants just because she knows a bit of acupuncture.
Heard she made the young master of the Qian family mute. He’s been seeking treatment everywhere, with no improvement yet.”
“Ha, I said sooner or later Mu Chengxi would be ruined by this girl. It seems we don’t need to do anything now; Mu Chengxi’s days are about to get tougher! Once he messes up, we can seize the opportunity to call for a change of the family head, then…”
A smug smile appeared on Mu Jingang’s face, as if he had already seen the scene of Mu Chengxi being driven out of the Mu family!
Last time, acting recklessly with the chairman of the Independent State, Alfredo, the incident was calmed down by Old Madam Mu. Now, it’s the young master of the Qian family, known to be at odds with the Mu family.
Last time, she had recklessly attacked the Independent State’s chairman,
Alfredo, but Old Madam Mu had settled the matter. Now, she attacked Young Master Qian. After all, the Qian Family and the Mu Family had always been on opposing sides.
This time, it seems Wen Xin has really stirred up serious trouble.
“I want to see how our Old Madam will protect Mu Chengxi and that wild girl now. I thought the Wei family’s girl was troublesome enough, but this wild girl is even worse!”
At this moment, Mu Jinsong and Mu Jingang were in high spirits, their irritations and frustrations vanishing.
“Let’s go have a drink to celebrate, celebrating that our wish will soon come true! ”
After lunch, Wen Xin was dragged by Mu Chengxu to play mahjong to pass the time, while Mu Chengxi left with his two uncles to visit the Mu family’s base, to check on the training of new recruits.
Wen Xin felt sleepy after lunch. Playing mahjong, a mentally exhausting pastime, was torture for her.
“Five of bamboo…” Wen Xin wasn’t planning to win; she casually picked a tile from the side and played it.
“Ah, silly girl, that’s a wildcard. Why did you play the wildcard?” Fifth Aunt saw Wen Xin play the wildcard in mahjong and couldn’t help but laugh softly.
Wei Manqing had noticed Wen Xin yawning earlier, her eyes slightly red, clearly tired. She smiled gently.
“Xinxin, are you sleepy? If you’re tired, go rest, and let your sister come play with us.” Wei Manqing didn’t want Wen Xin to strain herself, her voice tenderly suggesting that she rest if tired..
