124 Not Favored By Her Mother-in-law
Without a doubt, the biggest winner in this matter was the Shen Family.
They had picked up the eldest granddaughter-in-law of the Mu family for free and brought their eldest grandson, who was wandering outside, into the public eye.
Luo Bing was one of the hottest new directors. With the Shen Family’s support, his current drama was trending before it was even finished filming.
Chen Hai had no choice but to temporarily strengthen the tight protection of the production team and strictly forbid all actors and actresses from accepting any interviews.
The hidden winner would be Mu Ci, not the Mu Family.
A person who was about to die had returned to the public eye in such a manner. A “scandal” like counteracting bad luck was easily blown away. A beautiful story of his childhood sweetheart saving the hero was extremely precious in the cold steel city.
Mu Ci, this cold-faced demon king, was actually so affectionate. How could they not be moved?
As soon as Old Master Mu returned home, he called Mu Ci to the study.
This made Duan Si panic.
Mu En patted her shoulder and said with a smile, “If there’s nothing else, I’ll leave first.”
Duan Si grabbed him. “Where are you going? You’re not allowed to leave! Stay here obediently and see what the Old Master has to say later!”
Mu En looked around and said softly, “Mom! Don’t be nervous. The more nervous you are, the more it means that you have improper thoughts. Think about what Old Master hates the most now.”
Duan Si was stunned.
Mu En chuckled. “Mom, relax. Just say that I went out to play.”
Walking past Song Nan, Mu En stopped and looked at her. “Sister Nan, talk to Mom.”
Song Nan smiled. “Okay.”
Mu En smiled and sighed. “Fortunately, I have a considerate and understanding person like you.”
Seeing Mu En leave without looking back, Duan Si stomped her feet. “This child is really disobedient.”
Song Nan hurried forward and said, “Auntie, you should listen to Mu En. I think he’s right. You can’t be too anxious now. What if Grandpa is unhappy?”
“You saw it yourself today. If Mu En can’t inherit the Mu Family, I’m afraid he won’t be able to marry a daughter of the Shen Family! Mu Ci has the Shen Family as his backing again. Tell me, why can’t he leave his brother a way out?” Duan Si was indignant.
Song Nan didn’t know what to say, so she helped Duan Si sit down on the sofa.
Duan Si looked around and called for the helpers. “Where’s Eldest Young Madam? Where did she go? Does she even care about me as her mother-in-law? Get her here!”
The servant was startled by her and hurriedly ran to look for Bei Shuo.
Bei Shuo was instructing Xiaoling and Xiaobai to put away all the gifts that the Shen Family had given her. Upon hearing this, she frowned. “Alright, I’ll go down immediately.”
She sighed softly.
Xiaobai was dissatisfied. “How can Madam be so biased? They are both her biological sons. Why does she treat Second Young Master better than Eldest Young Master?”
Xiaoling glared at her. “Don’t spout nonsense! There’s still a difference in length with our 10 fingers!”
Noticing that Bei Shuo was fretting, she advised, “Young Madam, please coax Madam. Anyway, Eldest Young Master is on your side. If she makes Eldest Young Master angry, he won’t give anyone face. Don’t be afraid, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is already difficult. Just bear with it for Eldest Young Master’s sake!”
Bei Shuo smiled. “I’m not afraid. I’m just a little troubled. It’s fine if she doesn’t like me, but she doesn’t like Brother. I think Brother is quite sad.”
Xiaoling and Xiaobai looked at each other, not knowing how to comfort her.
When Bei Shuo came down, she saw Song Nan whispering something into Duan Si’s ear. Duan Si nodded repeatedly.
When they saw her coming, they both stopped. They looked at each other in tacit understanding and moved away from each other.
Song Nan looked away, and Duan Si immediately put on a look of disdain.
“How many gifts has the Shen Family given you? Don’t tell me you’re looking at them one by one and exclaiming in admiration as you look at them? Just thinking about it shows how inexperienced you are!” After saying that, she laughed disdainfully.
Song Nan could only smile in agreement. She stole a glance at Bei Shuo, afraid that she would be unhappy.
Bei Shuo didn’t even look at her. She smiled and nodded. “The Shen Family’s grandparents, uncles, aunties, brothers, and sisters are so nice. They gave me so many things, but I’ve never seen so many good things! These are all their kind intentions. I have to keep them well and cherish them. Don’t you agree, Madam?”
Duan Si opened her mouth, but no words came out. She glared at Bei Shuo angrily.
Song Nan smiled gently. “Bei Shuo, Auntie just wants to tell you that you’re the daughter-in-law of the Mu Family. You have to think of the Mu Family and not lose face.”
