C246 She Despised Him Very Much
"Master, you are in high spirits today!" Uncle Jee couldn't help but praise.
"Really?" Quan Qi's expression turned serious, and his eyes shone with a bright light. The corner of his mouth couldn't help but curve upwards.
"Yes, take a look yourself." Uncle Jee took out a mirror and placed it in front of the old man.
The old man rarely looked in the mirror when he was old. He was happy today. When he saw that he was in good spirits in the mirror, he smiled and nodded in satisfaction.
Uncle Jee put the mirror away and helped the old man straighten his shirt and buttons. He was ready to help the old man go downstairs to see the guests.
The old man turned around and suddenly thought of something. He did not take a step forward. "By the way, where is Ye?"
"Young Master? He's probably downstairs to greet the guests." Uncle Jee did not know either.
The old man frowned. "Didn't he say he would accompany me downstairs? Go and call him up."
Uncle Jee nodded repeatedly. "Oh, okay, okay. I'll go down now."
"Wait." Uncle Jee was about to leave when the old man spoke again. "Also, call Su lass over."
Uncle Jee was slightly stunned and randomly understood what the old man meant. He called Ji Nian up to accompany the old man downstairs with the Eldest Young Master.
Not to mention helping the old man downstairs, even if Ji Nian stood by the old man's side and accompanied him downstairs, in the eyes of the guests, the meaning was extraordinary. Everyone would immediately understand that Ji Nian had already obtained the Mu family's recognition!
"I understand." Uncle Jee replied to the old man's words and turned around to go down the stairs.
Ji Nian was anxiously looking at the door. Gu Chen said he would come with Lyi Qing. She invited these two people and she waited for them at the door.
Uncle Jee found Ji Nian. "Miss Su, the old man is looking for you. Quickly go up." His smile was somewhat meaningful.
Ji Nian had been very anxious and absent-minded these few days. Uncle Jee suddenly talking to her scared her.
She turned her head in shock and saw Uncle Jee looking at her suspiciously. She hurriedly pulled her smile away. " Oh, okay, I'll go up. "
Uncle Jee thought she was too nervous because of such a big scene. He comforted her, "Don't panic, everyone who came today is familiar with each other. " Pausing for a moment, he asked again, "Oh right, did you see the Eldest Young Master?"
" Ye? " Ji Nian did not see him since she got up this morning. She thought that he probably came to help, so she did not pay much attention to him. Even she herself was unsettled.
"No, he is probably helping Auntie to greet guests." Ji Nian said honestly.
"Then I'll go look for Eldest Young Master first. You should hurry up and go upstairs." Uncle Jee instructed.
"Alright, I got it." Ji Nian agreed.
After Uncle Jee went to find Mu Tingye, Ji Nian let out a sigh of relief, but the nervousness in her heart had not been relieved. She looked at the door, but still did not see Gu Chen. She thought that she would find a chance to talk to him in detail later. Now she went upstairs to find her grandfather.
She lowered her head and walked back in a daze. She suddenly hit a wall of flesh at a corner and staggered a step. Before she could see clearly who it was, her arm was grabbed by someone and she teased a little flirtatiously, "You are still so reckless?"
Ji Nian heard this voice and knew who it was even without looking. She looked up and sure enough, the man's overly charming peach blossom eyes carried a mocking smile as he stared at her with a burning gaze.
Ji Nian steadied her steps and brushed away Mu Jintian's hand that was grabbing her. She knew that she was too absent-minded that she bumped into him and politely said, "Thank you." She only thanked him for holding her, then turned around and prepared to leave.
However, Mu Jintian inexplicably blocked her way. Those examining eyes of hers carried a thought-provoking but also very threatening light. "Is it done with just a sentence of thanks? Seeing that you are in a trance, could it be that you are too happy that Ye wants to introduce you in front of everyone?"
Ji Nian felt that Mu Jintian's tone when he talked to her seemed to have an indescribable meaning. The way he looked at her was even more obvious and obscure. In front of him, she felt uncomfortable all over.
"Grandfather is still waiting for me. I won't talk to you anymore." Ji Nian felt that it was better to hide far away from such an elusive person.
When Mu Jintian heard her, he raised his eyebrows but did not do anything. Even though he heard her say that the old man was still waiting to see her, he was indifferent and still blocked in front of her.
Ji Nian gritted her teeth and decided to go around him and leave. Anyway, the road here was not narrow and she could totally ignore him.0
Ji Nian walked past him and he did not say anything. He only slightly raised the corner of his mouth and turned his head to see Ji Nian quickly avoiding him like a snake or scorpion.
He sneered in his heart. Was this woman that afraid of him? Or was it that she disliked him very much?
He narrowed his eyes coldly, the corners of his mouth turning cold.
Another person walked over from the other side of the corridor. From a distance, Qin Luoluo greeted Mu Jintian, "Jintian."
Mu Jintian turned around and saw Qin Luoluo in a gorgeous dress. She was dazzling but not overly flamboyant. She was just right and elegant. There was a dazzling crystal necklace around her neck, which made her even more attractive.
Qin Luoluo walked to him and looked in the direction he had just looked at. She did not see anything and asked in confusion, "What were you looking at just now? You were so lost in thought. Don't tell me you were looking at a beauty from some family?"
The smile in Mu Jintian's peach blossom eyes became even wider. He did not deny it. "You are right. I was looking at a beauty."
" Oh? I'm curious about that. Which family's beautiful lady has attracted the second young master of the Mu family?" Qin Luoluo teased.
"About this..." Mu Jintian kept her guessing and smiled mysteriously. "This is a secret. I can't tell you." After he finished speaking, he gave a wicked smile and turned around to return to the hall.
Qin Luoluo did not really want to keep holding onto other people's secrets. He was not willing to say that she would not ask. He only asked his back, "Did you see Ye?"
Mu Jintian's footsteps suddenly stopped. He did not turn around and only looked back at Qin Luoluo. "I did not see him." After he finished speaking, he strode away. Qin Luoluo naturally did not see his suddenly gloomy expression.
These women all remembered that Mu Tingye. He did not understand what was good about Mu Tingye. What did those women like about him?
In terms of looks and background, he admitted that he wasn't any weaker than Mu Tingye. However, he sadly discovered that he had returned to the country for nearly a year. Although his company had established a stable foothold in City J, there were still many people who only recognized Mu Tingye and not Mu Jintian! He clenched his fists in anger!
Mu Tingye did not go to greet the customers. He usually had to deal with the masked people in the shopping mall. Although he was also wearing a mask, everyone was a cunning fox. He was only a little more cunning than the others, so he was not in the mood to deal with his family's third aunt and sixth aunt.
He did not want to be caught and asked questions so early. He was waiting for Zhao Yu. Why hadn't this kid come back yet?
Just as he was pacing restlessly in the room, Zhao Yu ran in excitedly. "Young Master, I'm back."
Mu Tingye immediately turned around to look at the person who had come. Before he came close, he asked, "Did you bring the things back?"
Zhao Yu hurriedly nodded. "Yes, I brought them back. They were just transported back by air today." After he finished speaking, he carefully handed a gift bag to the Eldest Young Master.
