C304 Unexpected Classmate
"It's such a simple request. Qingqing, are you treating your grandfather as an outsider?" Anyone with a discerning eye could tell how much Mu Xiutan valued Mu Qingqing, but even if this girl refused to return to the Mu Mansion, she also didn't want to inherit a hundred year old foundation. Ever since Mu Qingqing had returned to the Mu Mansion, he could always remember her calm before the competition. Her bones bled with the blood of the Mu Family, and her Innate Ability was also pure to 1: 1.
Mu Qingqing was embarrassed. There was indeed a generation gap between her and Mu Xiutan. She did not agree with his old-fashioned way of thinking, and it was impossible for her to have a heart to heart relationship with Mu Xiutan. There were a lot of grandsons and granddaughters, so it wasn't that she had a lot of contact with Mu Xiutan. Normally, she wouldn't even make a phone call. "The word 'feeling' is too shallow.
"It has already been arranged. When Yichen returned to the city, I arranged for people to take care of him. Now you're relieved? " Old Master Mu stared at Mu Qingqing with a dignified expression. However, there was a hint of compromise in his tone.
"Thank you, grandpa." Mu Qingqing thanked him.
Mu Xiutan shook his head and boarded his private plane in disappointment. She was still too formal.
There was nothing to say along the way. Mu Xiutan sat in the front while Mu Qingqing and Aunt Qiong supported Mu Yichen's folding stretcher from the back. Luckily, the flight was smooth.
After getting off the plane, Mu Qingqing and Aunt Qiong walked down empty-handed. The reason for that was because Mu Xiutan had sent someone to take care of everything they needed to do.
As she followed Mu Xiutan into the living room, Mu Qingqing felt that it had been a long time. This trip had happened many times. The first thing she did upon returning was go up to the roof to look at her own flowers. Just as she had expected, the rose that was so delicate and delicate had already withered to an unrecognizable state.
She felt somewhat regretful.
"If you don't go to school now, you won't be able to keep up with your homework. At the end of the term, you won't have any good results." Mu Xiutan said unsteadily as he slowly climbed the stairs.
Mu Qingqingzhu took off the leaves in the pot and focused her eyes on the withering rose.
"Grandfather, the rose I raised is dead." Mu Qingqing said regretfully.
Mu Xiutan stared at her skinny back and said without a care, "It's just a pot of flowers, like the rose flowers. One day, grandpa will find someone to grow you a garden of rose flowers."
Mu Qingqing's hand that was fiddling with the dried leaves stopped slightly. She stood up straight and turned around, facing Mu Xiutan. This basin that I raised, from the beginning of last semester, every day to see if it looks good. During the time I was away, it died because I neglected to take care of it. "
"Even if Grandpa found someone to give me a rose in the garden, I would not treasure those flowers. Because it's not this pot of blood that I put in my daily work for myself. " When she said this, her eyes dimmed. Even she couldn't understand why he would say such philosophical words to Mu Xiutan.
Mu Xiutan frowned and looked at her in distress. Since there was no one else on the rooftop, he naturally had something he wanted to say to Mu Qingqing.
Mu Xiutan walked to the chair on the roof and sat down. He sighed with emotion and said, "You're just like your father who was stubborn when he was young."
"Little brother and little sister are still young. Grandfather should have given them a chance." Knowing that Mu Xiutan wanted to advise her to return to Mu Mansion, Mu Qingqing didn't beat around the bush. That was something that Mu Xiutan had personally maintained, not something she had protected.
"Tell Grandfather the true reason why he is unwilling to return to the Mu Family." Old Master Mu used a normal tone to speak to her without putting on the airs of an elder.
"I prefer reading and designing clothes to being a carpenter." Although she couldn't even draw a picture of the clothes she designed, she had this passionate heart.
"Don't try to dissuade me, my younger brother and sister must be even more outstanding than I am at my age." Mu Qingqing said with certainty.
Mu Xiutan's heart chilled even more when he heard these words. Did he not know the situation of his children and grandchildren? The second brother was too inflexible and the third brother was too shrewd. Amongst the three brothers, Mu Anren was the most similar to him. He had the cunning of a merchant, and also brought along his own bottom line in doing business, yet he was just as stubborn as a donkey, unwilling to return to Mu Family no matter what. While within the grandson and granddaughter group, the talent of Mu Xiaoyou was not bad. Adding on the carving, it was indeed possible to pass the Mu Family to her, but she was still too young, unable to compare to Mu Qingqing's current calm demeanor. Previously, he wanted to focus on cultivating Mu Yichen, but who knew that he would be met with such grievous news. If Mu Family were to be handed to him in the future, it was unknown whether his body would be able to take it or not.
This time, Mu Xiutan was not angry, nor did he insist on persuading Mu Qingqing. He just came here to take care of the children.
"Qing Qing is a promising person. No matter what we do in the future, grandpa will be at ease." Mu Xiutan said sincerely as he stared at the clear sky above Zhaoxi City.
Downstairs, Mu Yichen's room was fitted with a series of rehabilitation materials, from armrests to wheelchairs. Lili could feel Mu Xiutan's concern for her.
"Yichen will be fine. He is in a very good mental state right now. As long as he follows the doctor's orders, he can recover to his original state of eighty percent." Mu Qingqing said something for Mu Yichen.
"Did you catch the trafficker?" Mu Xiutan had heard Mu Antai talk about it, but didn't say anything about the fate of the trafficker.
"They were originally caught, but the evidence was insufficient and they were released without guilt." Mu Qingqing was slightly nervous when she said this.
"Grandfather will definitely seek justice for this matter." Mu Xiutan was so angry that he stopped his walking stick. The people from Mu Family suffered such a huge injury, and the culprit was actually released without crime?
Mu Qingqing didn't say a word as she listened silently.
She did something to the matter of being acquitted. Who knew if Mu Xiutan's men would find out.
After a day of rest, Mu Qingqing had a restless sleep. The next day, she went to report to the school under the nagging of Mu Xiutan and Aunt Qiong.
The learning atmosphere of Class 1 was as good as ever. It was just that her sudden appearance had attracted the attention of everyone in Class 1.
"Straight A Student!" The moment Yang Xiaolin saw Mu Qingqing, he shouted and clapped. Welcome, welcome back Straight A Student! "
With him leading the applause, the entire class began to boil with excitement, the entire class began to applaud her.
"What are you shouting for? It's not like you're a celebrity." It was unknown which female student threw out this sharp sentence. It was sour and everyone felt the atmosphere had started to turn stiff.
However, this voice sounded familiar. Mu Qingqing's brows twitched as she looked towards the source of the voice.
Could anyone explain to her why Yuv Shimin was in this school class?
In a split-second, Mu Qingqing glanced at her indifferently. At the same time, Yuv Shimin also shot a gaze filled with evil intentions at her, unwilling to be outdone.
When she returned to her seat, she found that Ann Linyan had also arrived at Class 1. Xiao Huali treated her coldly, as if they were friends that had broken off their relationship.
When the self-study bell rang, Mu Qingqing's original intention of chatting with Xiao Huali was dispelled. Class 1 had strict rules, and if one wasn't careful, they would have to copy the rules twenty times. She didn't want to cripple her hand as soon as she came back.
Staring at her book, Mu Qingqing felt she had no clue. Thus, she took out one exercise book after another from her desk. When she opened the exercise book, she was pleasantly surprised to find that the questions on it were all done. Not even a single blank space remained. She turned her head to look at Xiao Huali. The words on it were clearly hers.
Xiao Huali looked at the book in her hands, not saying a word. She didn't even want to talk to her.
Could it be that this girl didn't want to be friends with her?
Mu Qingqing felt a wave of discomfort in her heart. She could not blame Xiao Huali for this. It had been a long time since she had contacted her. Even when something happened, she did not inform Xiao Huali.
Even though Xiao Huali had already done all the exercises, she still picked up the pen and touched the paper with her hand. She checked the questions one by one to see if there were any mistakes.
She noticed that Xiao Huali had done 90% of the above questions correctly. Previously, Xiao Huali would have to answer one of the three questions wrongly, but now, she seemed to have made great progress. Picking up the pen, Mu Qingqing helped her correct the questions one by one, but Xiao Huali didn't seem to notice what she was doing.
With so many new faces in class one, Mu Qingqing didn't quite understand how this class's transfer was based on results. Or was it that some people were transferred to another school?
During the first morning self-study, Mu Qingqing received many curious gazes. Most of them were from new faces, and she was curious about the older students who called her Straight A Student. However, there was one exception, and that was Yuv Shimin's gaze. She looked at Mu Qingqing with an indescribable disgust.
After class, Mu Qingqing turned her head to Xiao Huali and winked at Xiao Huali.
Xiao Huali earnestly stood up from her math book, completely ignoring her performance.
Thus, Mu Qingqing had no choice but to press Xiao Huali's book down and continue winking at her. "Little Fox."
Xiao Huali turned her head away, ignoring her arrogantly.
Upon seeing this, Mu Qingqing had no choice but to take out a hot lunchbox from her schoolbag and place it in front of Xiao Huali. She even took out a box of washed fruits that she had brought from home.
With a cold expression, Xiao Huali said gloomily, "Do you think it's someone who can take your stuff as he pleases?"
"No, no, I know you're not." Mu Qingqing quickly reached out to pull the lunchbox and fruit box into her desk.
Before she could get halfway, Xiao Huali pressed her hand. Ao Jiao said, "There won't be a next time."
"You're really angry at me?" Mu Qingqing looked at her innocently.
"You'd better have some big reason not to call me." Xiao Huali opened the fruit box and ate a sweet grape.
"Let's talk about it at noon. I've been busy for too long. There are only four minutes left before class starts." Mu Qingqing glanced at the clock on the wall. How could she possibly talk to her about this period of time?
"It's new year, I'm waiting for you to come and play with me. I even rejected my brother's invitation to go skiing, you heartless little bitch. You didn't even call me. "I'm so pissed off not to come to school and not be at home." Xiao Huali ate three grapes in a row.0
