Chapter 886: Chapter 133 What’s the Problem with Liking White Hair
The relationship between relatives isn’t that easy to maintain. The bigger the household, the more it needs those socially astute, adept “social terrorists” to gather all the relatives together for a harmonious and pleasant reunion dinner.
King Mu’s Mansion more resembles a military camp than a traditional noble family, so the dinner atmosphere is a bit cold. Family mbers gather in small groups, chatting about their own matters. Most of the n co from the military and are still dressed in uniform. So, like Mu Yuming, are in suits, seemingly having their own businesses outside.
But certainly none as wealthy as Mu Yuming.
No matter how much family wealth Old Master Wang accumulated, once divided among the various houses, it’s not much. Besides, the Mu Family is not known for their business acun. Doing business earns money, but not much.
Behind Mu Yuming, however, is the colossal Four Seas Comrce Guild, which owns a private bank.
You simply fill in whatever amount you want on the check.
So Mu Yuming’s arrival imdiately drew everyone’s attention.
Many people wanted to get acquainted with this affluent Boss Mu, but Boss Mu wasn’t very keen on eting them.
As a family mber, Li Mumu also passively felt this “favor” from unfamiliar relatives.
“Where do you work, Brother Li?”
“Still studying.”
“Where are you studying then?”
As soon as he entered the main hall, soone ca up for awkward small talk. Even if you clearly showed your reluctance, this group of people wouldn’t give up, sticking to you persistently.
All sort of probing, eager to trace your lineage back eighteen generations.
Finally getting rid of these annoying individuals, Li Mumu found a quiet place to sit down, scanning the guests in the hall.
That bastard stood up again!
Said sothing about dining at King Mu’s Mansion… I knew it. As a small-ti captain of the Special Service Section, what qualification do you have to attend such a family banquet?
I’m really stupid, being tricked by this guy with the sa trick twice!
“Feels like a wasted trip, doesn’t it?”
The girl cracking sunflower seeds beside him quietly complained.
“I didn’t want to co in the first place.”
Li Mumu adjusted his collar, sulking, “It’s purely a waste of ti.”
“Dressing up for the air, of course you’ll be upset.”
“I didn’t dress up carefully.”
“Yes, yes, whatever you say.”
Wendy couldn’t be bothered to argue with her.
People shouldn’t try too hard. If you don’t try, you won’t feel frustrated; such a simple truth, yet many people don’t understand it.
A great deal of trouble to bring her here as a stand-in, while disguising as a man, who knows why.
Wendy has her own ways of lowering her presence. As long as she doesn’t speak up, people will ignore her existence.
Besides… no matter how precious Mu Yuming’s daughter is, since she’s already taken, there’s no value left. So, in the end, the attention turned to Li Mumu.
Wang Yunxiao actually wanted to know which handso guy Eldest Miss Li would bring to impress him today.
But without Veronica, he really had no legitimate reason to show his face in the main hall.
If he encounters soone particularly difficult, inquiring about his identity and background, he wouldn’t even know how to respond.
I’m here to eat your family’s pig’s feet… is that sothing you say?
While he’s struggling with this internally, a young officer walks in from outside, seeing the three people nibbling on pig’s feet and laughs: “I knew you were hiding here, every New Year you refuse to sit at the table, who are these two?”
Veronica points a finger: “Can’t you tell? We are a family of three!”
The young officer’s expression suddenly becos colorful.
“When did you have a child?”
“Ah, this is my adopted sister.”
So the other one is really your man?
The young officer’s gaze at Wang Yunxiao becos scrutinizing.
“When did you get married, why didn’t you tell ?”
“Why inform you? Church nuns can’t marry, didn’t you know?”
Veronica spouts nonsense. “Now that the church is disbanded, I dare bring a man out.”
“Ah… uh…”
The young officer sees Veronica’s nun’s habit, not knowing what to say.
Does this look like soone who has returned to secular life?
“The old man was just talking about you, co with over there.”
“Sure!”
Veronica grabs the cloth from beside the stove, wipes her hands carelessly, and licks the stain at the corner of her mouth: “Let’s go!”
“Aren’t you all going together?”
“I’ll go, why bring them?”
“At least show them to the old man, so he doesn’t worry, right?”
“No need for that.”
“At least let him have a look, to make the old man happy.”
In the traditional cultural concept of Ming Country people, the elders at that age in a big family can truly do whatever they want. Everything revolves around them; as long as they remain healthy and happy, it’s all good.
Besides, Old Master Wang isn’t just the ancestor, he’s the family’s only pillar.
The family serves him with more care than an Emperor.
The old man wants to see his grandchildren, you let him see them; nothing is more important than pleasing the old man.
Veronica looks troubled, turning to Wang Yunxiao: “Accompany inside for a round?”
“Sure.”
No harm in looking, I’m a big man, it’s not like I’ll lose a piece of at.
Anyway, I already explained to Li Mumu beforehand, she shouldn’t misunderstand.
Co to think of it, Eldest Miss Li is clever in this aspect, though she gets jealous, she doesn’t take it to heart. Although she often ntions He Lan sarcastically, Wang Yunxiao knows she doesn’t consider He Lan to be much of a catch.
Hopefully so.
Following Veronica to the backyard, they find other Mu’s family mbers waiting, each with their own family.
After all, the old man’s advanced age and poor spirit an that a hundred family mbers pushing and shoving could kill him. So families enter one by one, chat for a few minutes, and then return to the main hall to wait for dinner.
Wang Yunxiao imdiately sees Boss Mu at the front and behind him, two…?
The short-haired one looks familiar, isn’t it the little guy from the Shen Family auction, standing at the door welcoming guests?
The Shen Family person, would they be soone Li Mumu pulled in last minute for show? Doesn’t seem necessary.
Then it’s deliberate to irk him.
This woman is really petty.
Take a deep breath, relax…
Li Mumu smiles faintly, her eyes subtly gazing at Wang Yunxiao and the white-haired nun beside him.
Mad white hair, and a nun no less, why don’t you go cosplay in the second dinsion?
People of Ming have a special obsession with white hair, but where in reality would a woman dye her hair white?
Now there is one; by hair color and appearance, it even seems natural.
Alright, alright, Wang Yunxiao, you are really working it.
