122 The In-laws’ Hope
Compared to Bei Shuo’s joy, Duan Si’s hands and feet were cold. She looked at this scene in shock.
Yu Ling walked over silently and stood side by side with Duan Si. She chuckled and said, “I didn’t expect Madam Mu to be so lucky. In the future, our family’s relationship will be even closer.”
Duan Si said nothing.
Yu Ling seemed to hesitate for a moment. “I’ve always heard that Eldest Young Master is not in good health. From the looks of it, the rumors are indeed unbelievable. I think Eldest Young Master will have no problem inheriting Old Master Mu’s career in the future. Eldest Young Madam must be a virtuous wife.”
Duan Si’s expression darkened.
Yu Ling chuckled. “Our Shen Su is born to be rich and idle. But which mother doesn’t want her child to have a better future? Fortunately, she’s still young. She still has a chance.”
With that, she was about to turn around.
Duan Si quickly reached out to stop her. She looked into Yu Ling’s eyes and said seriously, “Don’t worry, my Mu En will definitely have the best future. His wife will also be high up in the air. She won’t let anyone suppress her!”
Yu Ling looked back at Duan Si and revealed a meaningful smile. She gently pushed Duan Si’s hand away. “Alright, I’ll wait and see.”
She glanced in her daughter’s direction. “My daughter is a silly girl. Fortunately, I’m not. I’ll definitely pave a smooth path for her. In this aspect, I should be like-minded with Madam Mu.”
The Shen Family’s small-scale birthday banquet was not open to the public, but the explosive news spread like wildfire.
In an instant, the various online media outlets, big verified accounts, and small verified accounts all used their own methods to fight for coverage. The Shen Family and the Mu Family, who had always kept a low profile, instantly stood at the center of the storm.
Luo Bing’s face darkened.
Chen Hai dragged his tired body over, grabbed a bottle of water beside Luo Bing, and drank it.
Luo Bing opened his mouth but swallowed his words.
Chen Hai swallowed a mouthful of water and raised the bottle. He looked at him sideways and asked, “What?”
Luo Bing looked at the bottle. “That’s my water!”
Chen Hai rolled his eyes at him and continued to pour the rest of the water into his mouth. Then, he wiped his mouth and accurately threw the bottle into the trash can in the corner.
“I don’t despise you,” Chen Hai said.
“I despise you!” Luo Bing said calmly.
Chen Hai pretended to strangle him. “Aren’t you too heartless? I helped you argue with the commenters early in the morning and dealt with those reporters. You hid behind and didn’t even thank me! How could you say the word ‘despise’ against your conscience? Feel it. Doesn’t it hurt?”
Luo Bing shook his head. “It doesn’t hurt.”
Chen Hai wanted to pounce on Luo Bing but changed his posture halfway. He collapsed on Luo Bing’s recliner and shook it gently.
“Do you think I was a bandit in my previous life? I was in the business of killing and robbing. Later, I met you and Mu Ci. You probably saved my life, or you might spare me. I must have made a promise to you. ���I can’t thank you enough for your kindness! I’ll definitely be your slave in my next life to repay you!’ Then, retribution came. I’ll be your slave for the rest of my life.”
Luo Bing couldn’t hold it in and laughed.
Chen Hai heaved a sigh of relief. “There’s also an added bonus of adjusting your emotions.”
Luo Bing sat on the opposite chair and kicked Chen Hai’s chair.
Chen Hai was relieved to finally see Luo Bing’s smile.
“To be honest, Bing, you’ve been hiding your identity for so many years, and you’re just going to tell everyone just for your Little Junior Sister. Can I interview you on behalf of those entertainment reporters outside? How do you feel now? Will you regret it later?” Chen Hai asked leisurely.
Luo Bing did not say anything.
Just as Chen Hai felt that he would not answer, Luo Bing said, “What will come will come. Running away is not a solution. What I am angry about is that I did not find Little Junior Sister first and let her board Mu Ci’s pirate ship.”
Chen Hai was displeased. “Hey, don’t attack him personally! How can Mu Ci be considered a thief? Bei Shuo likes Mu Ci a lot too, okay?”
Chen Hai suddenly sat up straight and stared at Luo Bing. “Don’t tell me you like Bei Shuo and want to marry her?”
Luo Bing kicked Chen Hai’s chair, sending him and the chair flying a few steps away. “What nonsense are you talking about?”
Chen Hai moved back with his chair and said, “What’s the hurry? You look guilty!”
Seeing that Luo Bing was about to kick him again, he hurriedly said, “Hey, hey, hey, a gentleman uses his mouth, uses his mouth, uses his mouth!”
Luo Bing glared at him.
“How many seniors and juniors do you have?” Chen Hai changed the topic. It wasn’t just a press conference.
