“Grandmother, I haven’t seen her before either. I’m also very curious about her identity.” Murong Qi relied on her aunt and grandmother’s love to raise her head like an arrogant swan. She looked at Chen Meng’er with a straight face.
When the people present heard the words of Matriarch Murong and Murong Qi, their ears perked up. They were also curious about the identity of this girl who had been treated like this by the elders of the Qu and Yuwen families.
Chen Meng’er was amused. Matriarch Murong and Murong Qi had determined that she, Chen Meng’er, was a girl with no identity and wanted to see her make a fool of herself. However, who was she? In this world, only Chen Meng’er could see others make a fool of themselves. No one had ever seen her make a fool of herself.
Chen Meng’er was just about to open her mouth when Elder Qu gave up. Matriarch Murong was obviously here to pick a fight with his granddaughter. Elder Qu saw Chen Meng’er once again today. After coming into contact with Chen Meng’er, he firmly believed from the bottom of his heart that Chen Meng’er was the missing granddaughter of the Qu family. Elder Qu was a protective person. He would protect the person he believed in no matter what he said. On this point, Chen Meng’er was very similar to him. “What status our girl has has nothing to do with you. This girl is an honored guest that I invited.” Elder Qu furrowed his brows. He was very protective of Chen Meng’er.
“Elder Qu, I’m just curious about the identity of this girl. You also know that there are a lot of girls out there who want to climb up the social ladder. Everyone should be careful.” Matriarch Murong continued to say without batting an eyelid.
Matriarch Murong’s words had thoroughly angered Elder Qu and made Yuwen Hou even angrier. Elder Qu was certain that Chen Meng’er was the Qu family’s granddaughter. Yuwen Hou had long treated Chen Meng’er as his granddaughter-in-law. These two elders were both overprotective. When they heard someone actually say something like that about the person they cared about, they were both furious. On the other hand, when Chen Meng’er heard Matriarch Murong’s words, she raised her eyebrows. Matriarch Murong was really stupid. Even if she had a problem with her, she could not say these words in front of Elder Qu. No matter what she did, she was still a guest invited by the Murong family.
By saying this, wasn’t Matriarch Murong also slapping the Qu family’s face? The rest of the Qu family didn’t look too good after hearing Matriarch Murong’s words. Qu Yaobing’s entire face darkened. If it wasn’t for the fact that Matriarch Murong was his mother-in-law, he would have gotten someone to throw her out long ago.
Marquis Yuwen opened his mouth to refute Matriarch Murong. But before he could open his mouth, a loud voice came from the door. “When did my granddaughter become such a person?”
Elder Liu’s appearance made everyone’s eyes focus on the main entrance of the banquet hall.
When Chen Meng’er saw Elder Liu standing at the door in a traditional suit that she had personally sewn, accompanied by Zhuge Yu, Skinny, and Fatty, Chen Meng’er had the urge to pinch her forehead and sigh. It was her first time appearing in the circle of the upper-class society in the capital. She did not want Zhuge Yu and the others to accompany her, but her had actually come with them. This was completely unlike his usual style.
Now it seemed that her grandfather had long planned this.
“What? Did I hear something wrong just now? Elder Liu said that she is his granddaughter?” Someone in the crowd could not help but whisper to the person beside him in surprise.
“You didn’t hear wrong. I also heard Elder Liu say she’s his granddaughter. Could it be that this girl is the young lady of the Green Gang?”
Elder Liu’s words that affirmed Chen Meng’er’s identity when he appeared were like a stone thrown into the river, stirring up layers of ripples. Everyone present, other than those who had seen Chen Meng’er before, racked their brains. No one had ever thought that Chen Meng’er would be Elder Liu’s granddaughter, the mysterious young lady of the Green Gang.
Matriarch Murong was also shocked by Elder Liu’s words. She had never thought that Chen Meng’er would be Elder Liu’s granddaughter. For a moment, Matriarch Murong looked at Chen Meng’er with all sorts of interesting expressions on her face.
Chen Meng’er looked at Elder Liu who was standing motionlessly at the door. She could not help but shake her head in her heart. Her grandfather was really getting more and more childish. She resigned herself to fate and walked to Elder Liu’s side. “Grandpa, why are you here?” Chen Meng’er held onto Elder Liu’s arm.
Elder Liu looked at his granddaughter who was holding onto his arm and smiling at him. His heart was filled with satisfaction. His originally taut face suddenly burst into laughter. He would not admit it. When he first entered and saw his precious granddaughter surrounded by the Qu family members, he was displeased. He had a feeling that his granddaughter was about to be snatched away by someone. “You said that if I didn’t come, you would have been bullied by others. Didn’t Grandpa teach you to tear the heads off of people who crossed you?”
“That’s right. If Little Miss feels that her hands would dirty, just say the word and uncle Fatty will do it for you,” Fatty, who stood behind Elder Liu, said.
Their voice was not soft and everyone present heard it. It was obvious that Matriarch Murong and Murong Qi had heard it as well. When Matriarch Murong heard Elder Liu’s words, she felt very uncomfortable. Weren’t Elder Liu’s words meant for her to hear? Elder Liu’s words were like a slap to her face.
“Grandpa Liu.” Yuwen Jing came over to greet Elder Liu.
However, Elder Liu snorted lightly at Yuwen Jing’s greeting and then looked at Yuwen Jing with dissatisfaction. He said, “Kid, I’m very dissatisfied with your performance today.” Elder Liu was very dissatisfied that Yuwen Jing didn’t protect Chen Meng’er well.
Yuwen Jing was very helpless. He also wanted to block in front of Chen Meng’er and protect her well. However, Chen Meng’er had warned him before that he was not allowed to speak no matter what happened today.
“Grandpa, you can’t blame Yuwen for this matter. I was the one who told him not to speak. Grandpa, do you think that I will let others bully me?” Chen Meng’er said coquettishly to Elder Liu in a soft voice.
Seeing Chen Meng’er acting coquettishly to Elder Liu, Elder Qu was envious. Chen Meng’er was his precious granddaughter. As a grandfather, he had never enjoyed his granddaughter acting coquettishly. Obviously, Elder Qu had forgotten that he was not completely sure that Chen Meng’er was the Qu family’s lost granddaughter.
