C66 Smart and Calm
After Luo Xue finished speaking, she turned around and left, not giving Mu Jiao'en any chance to speak.
When Mu Jiao'en heard this, her heart suddenly hurt.
Large areas!
They were planted together!
Looking at Luo Xue's back, Mu Jiao'en bit her lips hard and clenched her fists tightly. She had an impulse to tear her apart...
Luo Xue found a small open space and inserted the few preserved plums into the soil before returning to the attic.
She had just returned when Shi Lan and Mu Shucheng came out. She did not know what the two of them were talking about and their expressions were a little serious. But when Shi Lan saw Luo Xue, she still smiled.
"You guys went out?"
"I went to the garden and Jiao'en was still picking up acacia flowers, so I came back first."
After Luo Xue said that, she added another sentence.
"That orchid grew pretty well."
When that orchid was mentioned, Shi Lan immediately became excited.
"I didn't expect them to come back to life. When Ah Cheng recommended you to me, I didn't believe it!"
Shi Lan paused for a moment as she spoke.
"No wonder Ah Cheng likes you. Everything is good! You guys, hurry up and give birth to a fat kid for me! "
Luo Xue's heart jumped and her face unconsciously turned red. She stood opposite Shi Lan and felt uneasy.
Mu Shucheng just smiled like that, his face and heart did not beat.
Mu Jiao'en stood at the door with a flower basket in her hand and her expression was very ugly. When she just came back, she heard this kind of words... Her heart felt stifled!
After adjusting her mood, Mu Jiao'en walked over and suddenly looked at Shi Lan and said.
"Grandma, I heard that someone from the Qian family proposed to us. Is that true? Have you heard of the young master of the Qian family, Qian Zixiao? I heard that... he is more outstanding than Han Guan! "
Mu Jiao'en was looking at Shi Lan as she spoke, but she kept staring at Luo Xue from the corner of her eye. When she saw the strange expression on her face, the corners of her eyes flashed with a touch of pleasure!
She did not want Shi Lan to be so good to Luo Xue!
Luo Xue's heart skipped a beat and her expression was slightly uncomfortable.
Suddenly hearing Mu Jiao'en mention Qian Zixiao, Mu Shucheng could not help but frown. He looked at Mu Jiao'en... She did it on purpose.
Shi Lan kept her smile. She was not old and muddle-headed. Of course she knew about Luo Xue's matter. This... It was more or less a place that she did not want to talk about.
Mrs Mu, who everyone envied, had shamelessly pestered another man. If these words were to spread out, the Mu family would lose all face!
This was also the reason why they did not want to oppose Luo Xue. People always had their own selfish motives.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became awkward.
Mu Jiao'en seemed to have the upper hand. Just as she was about to be pleased with herself, she heard Mu Shucheng say.
"Young Master Qian is indeed better than Han Guan. If you like him, you can marry him!"
Hearing the displeasure in his tone, Mu Jiao'en pursed her lips and did not continue.
The atmosphere became awkward again. After a long time, Shi Lan said,
"We will talk about Jiao'en's marriage later. It is not early and it is time to eat. You guys go to the front yard hall first. I will be there in a while!"
Luo Xue's face was somewhat pale but she quickly recovered.
She had to learn to slowly put it down!
"Then let's go to the front yard and wait for you. When I go back and learn chess skills from the city, I will come back to spar with you."
Luo Xue looked as if nothing had happened. She smiled and did not say anything.
When Shi Lan heard this, her face lit up again.
"Good, good, good, good! Grandma, just you wait. In the future, you have to come often to accompany grandma. Even if Ah Cheng doesn't have time, you still have to come..."
"Afraid of the city..."
As Luo Xue spoke, a touch of shyness appeared on her face.
When Shi Lan heard this, she understood a little. She looked at Mu Shucheng and said seriously.
"What? You have the nerve to bully Xiaoxue and not let her go out? Can't you even come to see grandma?"
The atmosphere in the room slowly became lively again.
Mu Shucheng smiled. He did not misjudge Luo Xue. She was smart and did not move.
"She went out to take photos and got robbed... However, if she came to see Grandma, I would still be at ease. "
He kept looking at Luo Xue as he spoke, his eyes as tender as water.
Luo Xue did not know that Mu Shucheng's words were sincere and only thought that she was joking. However, her small face was still red and cute.
"Then you have to be careful when you go back and teach me! You are carrying your grandmother's mission."
When Shi Lan heard this, her smile became even wider.
"Yes! Ah Cheng needs to be taught well. Snowy also needs to learn well. When you are old and bored, you can still sit together to pass the time, hahaha... Yes! Ah Cheng needs to be taught well. Snowy also needs to learn well. When you are old and bored, you can still sit together to pass the time, hahaha..."
Shi Lan thought about the long term. Luo Xue knew that it was impossible, but it did not dampen Shi Lan's mood, and her face was brimming with happiness.
Mu Jiao'en just stood there and actually could not interject a word.
Looking at the happy and harmonious scene in front of her, she felt that she was like an outsider and her previous complacency also disappeared without a trace.
She lightly bit her lips and tightly clenched her fists. Her joints turned white and a chill rose in her heart.
...
Mu Shucheng held Luo Xue's hand and walked into the lobby of the front yard. As soon as they entered the lobby, they were surrounded by a group of noisy women. Mu Shucheng stood in the middle and stood out. He was a typical example of the Yin and Yang.
Luo Xue was not valued in the first place. At this moment, she was even more prominent. But it was also good. Other people did not care about her, but she had some free time. She quietly sat at the dining table and thought about the design of Ann Chen's exhibition hall.
Mu family was a big family. Among this group of women, it was inevitable that there would be a few illegitimate daughters. Among them was Mu Shucheng's half-sister, Mu Yu Lu.
Mu Yu Lu was the youngest in Mu Shucheng's generation. She had just turned eighteen this year. She was usually quiet and indifferent. In order to return to Mu family, she had suffered a lot, but she had never said it out loud. She was a meticulous girl.
"Sister-in-law."
It was very strange that she was the first person to greet Luo Xue.
Luo Xue politely smiled at her and just as she was about to say something, she saw Mrs Chang helping Shi Lan out.
When Shi Lan came out, the crowd immediately boiled up and everyone scrambled to give the old lady gifts.
After a while, seeing Luo Xue sitting in a corner, Shi Lan shouted.
"Xiaoxue, come and sit at grandma's place."
Luo Xue instantly became the center of attention.
She felt very uncomfortable, but she still stood up and walked to Shi Lan's side. She pulled open the chair and sat down. Mu Shucheng sat beside Luo Xue and handed a small box to Luo Xue, indicating that she should give it to Shi Lan.
Luo Xue was currently feeling awkward, and now there was a way out.
"Grandma, this is a gift prepared for you. Open it and see if you like it. I forgot to give it to you just now."
"Xiaoxue also prepared a gift for Grandma?"
Shi Lan said as she instructed Aunt Xiangyan to open the box.
It was very quiet in the room. Everyone's eyes were on the gift box. There were already people discussing in low voices.
"It can't be pearl jade, right?"
"Impossible. Grandma doesn't lack that."
"What is that? Antiques?"
"Who knows? It might be a golden armor!"
... ""
Luo Xue listened to the whispers and stared curiously at the gift box. This gift was prepared by Mu Shucheng. Even she did not know what was inside.
But she felt that a rich man like Mu Shucheng was nothing more than giving some gold, silver, and jewelry to attract people's attention.
