C184 He Wants to Give Another Woman a Present
Mu Yun casually threw the crystal necklace aside. While everyone was talking, she secretly picked some food to eat. Mu Yu, who was sitting next to her, suddenly hit her hand that she was about to stretch out. The brothers and sisters stared at each other and did not dare to make a sound.
Mu Jintian's eyes inadvertently swept across Mu Tingye's side, then turned to Qin Luoluo's side. He joked, "Luoluo has become a beauty now. In the past, when you stood with Ye, others would think that you were his sister. Now, absolutely no one thinks that way. "
His words easily reminded people of their youth. Qin Luoluo and Mu Tingye entered the same school.
If Ji Nian was not there, they could still talk about this topic, but the current situation was obviously not suitable.
Qin Luoluo also pretended not to understand and said to Mu Jintian, "Then tell me, if I stand beside Ye now, what would other people think of my relationship with him?"
The previously harmonious atmosphere was somewhat changed by her question. Everyone was silent and their gazes shifted to Mu Tingye, Ji Nian, and Qin Luoluo. Qin Luoluo only looked at Mu Jintian, waiting for his reply.
Hsu Pinglan had always been indifferent and at this time, she could not help but frown.
Ji Nian had heard from Mu Tingye that he and Qin Luoluo had known each other since young. The Mu family and the Qin family had been friends for a long time. It was not strange for the people of the Mu family to be so familiar with Qin Luoluo.
It was just that the atmosphere was not right now. Mu Tingye said that he didn't have any feelings for Qin Luoluo, but why was she acting so friendly with him?
At this moment, Mu Yun put down her chopsticks and said to Qin Luoluo, "Sister Luo Luo, you are similar to me. I am Mr Ye's younger sister. Even if you are a few years older, you are still a younger sister. You grew up with Mr Ye. No matter how you change, in Mr Ye's eyes, you are still his younger sister." After saying that, he turned to look at Mu Tingye. "Mr Ye, don't you think so?"
Everyone looked at Mu Tingye. He slightly curled his lips, and his secretive eyes met Qin Luoluo's gaze. He said slowly, "What Yun'er said is right."
The light in Qin Luoluo's eyes dimmed because of Mu Tingye's words. She lowered her eyes and covered those struggling emotions.
When she raised her eyes again, she looked at Ji Nian and said apologetically, "Nian Nian, I'm really sorry. I didn't know that you would be eating here today and didn't prepare a gift for you."
Ji Nian did not expect Qin Luoluo to suddenly speak to her and quickly smiled, "I am fine. You do not need to be so polite."
Qin Luoluo turned to look at Mu Tingye but her tone changed. She teased, "Ye, as for your gift, I didn't prepare it either. Also, I remember that you said last night that you owe me a New Year gift."
Her words made Ji Nian suddenly look at Mu Tingye. He had met Qin Luoluo last night?
Didn't he rush back from overseas to celebrate New Year with her last night? When did he meet Qin Luoluo? Before he went home?
What other New Year's gift? Only now did she remember that she had given Mu Tingye a present, but he did not give her any. Now, he wanted to give Qin Luoluo a present?
Ji Nian originally did not care whether he gave her a present or not, but once she heard that he wanted to give other women a present, she could not help but feel sour in her heart.
Mu Tingye looked back at her, his deep eyes did not show any emotion. The atmosphere between the two of them became somewhat cold.
"Alright, don't stand there and talk. Luoluo, sit down and eat together." Old Master Mu half-closed his eyes, as if he didn't notice that there was something wrong with the atmosphere at this moment.
The servant had already brought a chair over and was waiting for the master to give the order to place the chair.
Qin Luoluo's eyes turned and she wanted to say to sit beside Ji Nian but Ye Meihui saw that the old man did not seem to have any intention of arranging where Qin Luoluo should sit.
She frowned slightly and wanted to let the servant place the chair beside her. At this time Mu Yun was very proactive and got up to take the chair from the servant and move it between her and Mu Yu. She forcefully squeezed out a seat.
"Sister Luo Luo, come over and sit with me. The jewelry you designed is so beautiful. I really want to ask you for advice. Can you secretly teach me the secret? Maybe I can become a jewelry designer in the future. " How could Mu Yun not see that Qin Luoluo wanted to sit beside Ji Nian?
But she thought, how could sister-in-law sit beside other women? Wouldn't that affect Mr Ye and sister-in-law's appetite?
Even if Qin Luoluo did not want to sit there, she could not. Mu Yun had already moved the chair over.
Mu Yu was very dissatisfied. He thought that Mu Yun was taking revenge on him for stopping her from secretly picking food just now. That was why he deliberately let Qin Luoluo squeeze in between them.
He could not help but mock, "With that foodie of yours, you still want to be a jewelry designer? Don't design all the food. "
Qin Luoluo walked over and heard Mu Yu's words. She raised her eyebrows and said, "This is a good idea. Now, many jewelry have been designed to be fruits or ice cream. They are also very popular with girls."
When Mu Yun heard this, she became even more enthusiastic and took the initiative to pull Qin Luoluo to sit on the chair. She made a face at Mu Yu and said, "Did you hear that? A foodie's brain is also valuable and its value is inestimable!"0
When everyone heard this, they smiled and returned to the originally harmonious atmosphere.
It was just that some people were not like this, just like Ji Nian who was absent-minded at this moment.
The nanny poured out the soup that Ji Nian brewed and used a porcelain bowl to bring it to Grandpa Mu. "Master, this is the soup that Miss Su made for you. It is warm and not hot. You should drink it now, right?"
Everyone almost forgot that there was such a thing. At this time, they all looked up at the soup that the nanny brought for the old man. The lingering fragrance made everyone hungry.
The old man's expression was calm. He asked the nanny to put the soup in front of him. He took the spoon and scooped a spoonful of soup into his mouth.
Ji Nian was a little stunned. She did not expect that the soup that she casually brewed would immediately become grand in the hands of the old man.
Grandpa Mu drank a mouthful of the soup and closed his eyes, as if he was savoring the taste. This made everyone think that the soup was very special.
Mu Yun could not help but say, "Grandfather, sister-in-law's soup looks very good. Shouldn't you give it to all of us to taste? Don't we have to share good things?"
Xi Xiu elbowed Mu Yun. At this time, what was she calling 'sister-in-law'? The old man's attitude towards Ji Nian was still unclear.
It was just that the old man did not mind Mu Yun calling him sister-in-law. He just glared at Mu Yun and said, "This soup was specially prepared for me. I cannot share it casually."
When everyone heard this, the corners of their eyes twitched. It was clearly you who ordered Ji Nian to boil it, alright?
Qin Luoluo clenched her chopsticks and her hands subconsciously tightened. The smile on her face became somewhat forced.
She gave the old man the tea set but did not expect Ji Nian to directly send the soup. The warmth was directly sent into the old man's stomach. Ji Nian was really scheming.
Furthermore, when Mu Yun called her 'sister-in-law', no one from the Mu family stood out to reprimand her. Could it be that the Mu family really accepted a woman like Ji Nian?
After dinner, Mu Tingye was called to the study room by the old man to speak. The family of three rooms surrounded Ji Nian and spoke.
Mu Haiting sat back in front of the chessboard to study why he lost in the end. Ye Meihui was in the kitchen and did not know what to tell the servants to do.
