“Mu Ru is right, ” Zheng Yifan said as he tightened his grip on Mu Ru’s hand He looked at Dongfang Mei and Dongfang Yu with a smile and said, “regardless of whether it was Xi Muxue or Xi Muru who married eldest cousin, the Xi family and the Dongfang family have nothing to do with each other anymore. Eldest cousin also chased away the former first young madam, so mu ru is now free. She’s a single girl. Second cousin, don’t call her eldest sister-in-law, right? ”
Dongfang Yu was slightly taken aback. Just as he was about to speak again, Dongfang Mei spoke first With a smile on her face, she said, “Yifan is right. Mu Ru is no longer related to our Dongfang family. Tonight, she is Yifan’s female companion and also a guest of the Dongfang family. Hurry up and come in. ”
Mu Ru’s hands were secretly clenched into fists under the sleeves of her Qipao as she kept cheering herself on. Since she had already accompanied Zheng Yifan here today, there was absolutely no reason for her to be defeated by the Dongfang family.
She held Zheng Yifan’s hand and walked into the hall. When mother Liu, who had just brought a large bowl of fruit salad from the kitchen and was heading to the dining area, saw her, she was so shocked that she almost threw the bowl of fruit salad in her hand away.
Mu Ru immediately went up and stretched out her hand to help mother Liu straighten the tilted bowl. Then, a faint smile appeared on her face and she naturally greeted mother Liu, “hello, mother Liu. ”
“Yes, yes, ” mother Liu quickly responded, but she could not find a second sentence to say.
Mu Ru didn’t have any intention of continuing the conversation with mother Liu. She looked at Zheng Yifan who was walking towards her and immediately hooked her arm around his, walking towards the hall with him.
“I’m sorry. ” Mu Ru apologized to Zheng Yifan in a low voice. “I didn’t expect you to have a cousin relationship with the Dongfang family. The reason why I didn’t tell you about my family matters is actually… ”
“I know. You feel that there’s no need to say those things, ” Zheng Yifan immediately replied in a low voice He patted the back of her hand and comforted her, “there’s nothing to be sorry about. Really, I think you’re very good. Especially when I know that you were once the first lady of the Dongfang family and that you’re the eldest daughter of the Xi family, I think you’re even more amazing because not everyone can withstand so many blows. Moreover, it’s already not easy for you to be so strong after such a big blow. ”
Mu Ru’s nose felt sour when she heard Zheng Yifan’s words. She could not help but feel a sense of warmth in her heart. When she was at the lowest point in her life, when her mother was beaten to death and she had nowhere to go, it was Zheng Yifan who reached out to her He gave her warmth and made her feel that there were actually good people in this world.
Dongfang Mei’s birthday was not a big birthday. It was only two or four years old, which was forty-four years old. The Dongfang family was particular and liked to celebrate big birthdays, so this forty-four-year-old was rather grand.
However, because Dongfang Mei was not a woman who stepped out of the house, but an old woman who was waiting to be married, even if the Dongfang family valued her more, they still did not have any big banquets. They only invited some close relatives and friends.
Mu Ru and Zheng Yifan had just arrived at a remote corner and were about to sit down when they heard Dongfang Mei ask, “Ah Yu, where’s your brother? Isn’t he back yet? Didn’t you tell him to come home earlier? ”
“My brother will be back in the afternoon, ” Dongfang Yu quickly replied, then added, “my brother said that the gifts have been prepared and are in aunt Gu’s room. He won’t come out to meet everyone.
