He Mingrun was waiting for Mu Jiuchen here specifically.
"Going back now?"
Mu Jiuchen looked at him with slightly deep eyes, "You're not going too?"
He Mingrun was dressed formally, showing great respect to the old master. He nodded, his tone gentle, "I have to give your grandfather face. He's the only one who treats you well. How could I not go?"
Li Qingshuo raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Mingrun, it's good you think that way. Let's go, the banquet is about to start."
He Mingrun nodded, "Let's go."
In the luxurious banquet hall, Old Master Mu was wearing a black suit and a white shirt. Although old, he was full of spirit.
Steward Hong carefully supported him. Everyone who passed by him respectfully greeted him.
The old master was happy today. The house hadn't been this lively in a long time.
Steward Hong reminded him, "Old Master, I heard that Miss Yunyun has also returned tonight."
"Let her return. Can her return unite this family?" The old master was unmoved. Everyone in this family was ambitious. Now that Young Master Jiu was not married, people in the family were using this matter to their advantage.
But was Young Master Jiu someone who would be intimidated by their pressure? The grandson he had raised was much more capable than the children raised by Mu Yunxiao.
Steward Hong said again, "I wonder what kind of person the girl brought back by the eldest daughter is like?"
Upon hearing this, the old master became interested, "Old Hong, in my opinion, Young Master Jiu won't like her. Is Mu Xue the type of person to meddle in other people's business? She always does things with a purpose."
Steward Hong was a little annoyed. This old man, besides Master Jiu, didn't like anyone.
"Old Master, Miss Mu Xue is still your daughter." He couldn't help but remind him.
"Heh heh..." The old master found his words amusing.
"Has your daughter come back to see you recently?"
Speaking of his daughter, Steward Hong was particularly proud. "The day before yesterday, when I had time off, she came back to see me. She also bought me autumn clothes, and bought the red date cakes I like. She also gave me ten thousand yuan pocket money."
"Is that so? Just hearing about it makes me envious. Look at my daughter. How many times does she come back to see me in a year? Does she buy me gifts when she comes back? She only talks about a piece of land that is very good and asks if I want to invest in it. If not, she asks to borrow some money from me. She only thinks about how much she can get from me, and never thinks about how much she can give back to me. So, Old Hong, having sons and daughters is not necessarily a blessing. Their filial piety is the blessing."
Steward Hong found his words reasonable. He also knew that the family was not united.
"By the way, is Young Master Jiu coming back?"
"He said he's already on his way."
"Mmm! No matter what, I won't interfere with his marriage. As long as the girl is of good character, I will let her in."
Lin Su's matter had hit him hard. No matter who the other party was, they must first have a kind heart.
"Dad."
Mu Xue was wearing a custom-made rose-pink suit, her long hair pulled up high, adorned with a diamond necklace and diamond earrings, making her look luxurious and elegant. There were not many traces of time on her face.
Beside her stood a woman in a black evening gown. She was tall, with an oval face, willow-like eyebrows, red lips and white teeth, and captivating eyes, a rare beauty.
Several men in extraordinary attire around them kept looking at her.
The old master glanced at her faintly and nodded, "You're here."
"Yes, Dad. Let me introduce you. This is Miss Lu Qiaoyi, the eldest daughter of the Lu family in Modu." Mu Xue introduced with a smile.
Lu Qiaoyi smiled and greeted, "Grandpa, hello!"
"Very good, very good. Have fun." The old master was also someone who wouldn't refuse a smiling face.
"Dad, where's Young Master Jiu? The banquet has started, why isn't he back yet?" Mu Xue had specifically brought Lu Qiaoyi to introduce her to Mu Jiuchen.
Lu Qiaoyi was very beautiful, and Mu Jiuchen would surely fall for her.
The old master replied, "He'll be here soon."
At this moment, Tang Ziyi also entered with Xia Yingying and Jiang Yu Kuo.
Her son was not at home, so she felt much more relaxed.
As soon as Tang Ziyi entered, many handsome men and beautiful women who wanted to enter the entertainment industry swarmed around her.
Mu Xue smiled, "Mrs. Xia is as popular as ever."
However, the old master was attracted by Jiang Yu Kuo beside Tang Ziyi.
Hoo hoo hoo, isn't this the little boy from the video? He finally found him.
Could this be Tang Ziyi's son?
No, he had seen Tang Ziyi's son last time, and he didn't look like this. He must be his great-grandson.
The old master glanced at Mu Xue beside him and said nothing.
A melodious violin sound echoed in the banquet hall, graceful and pleasant, enhancing the atmosphere of the banquet.
The old master walked towards Tang Ziyi. Surrounded by handsome men and beautiful women, he stared at Jiang Yu Kuo in a daze. This kid was neither servile nor overbearing, possessing a calm demeanor at such a young age.
Someone beside him asked, "Mrs. Xia, is this your son? He's so handsome! And your daughter is also very beautiful!"
Tang Ziyi held Jiang Yu Kuo's hand and smiled as if he were her own son, "This isn't my son. He's my best friend's son, and he will be my son from now on."
Jiang Yu Kuo: "..." Isn't this introduction a bit... strange?
When did he become Aunt Tang's son?
"Wow! Congratulations, Mrs. Xia, for gaining another son." Someone chimed in. Everyone couldn't help but look at Jiang Yu Kuo more closely.
Jiang Yu Kuo knew where he was. He smiled friendly at everyone and then lowered his head slightly.
If he had known the banquet was here, he wouldn't have come.
The old master also breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that it wasn't her son.
He took a step forward and said with a smile, "Ziyi, it's rare for you to bring the children to a banquet."
"Oh! Old Master, you're here." Tang Ziyi held the two children and said, "Quickly say hello to Great-Grandpa."
Jiang Yu Kuo and Xia Yingying said in unison, "Hello, Great-Grandpa!"
"Very good, very good, ah, Yingying, you're getting more and more radiant. If I had a great-grandson, I would have betrothed you to him long ago."
Tang Ziyi: "..." How could the old master still have such old-fashioned ideas? It's the twenty-first century, and they're still talking about betrothing children?
"Thank you for your kind regard, Old Master, but it's too late. My daughter will be six soon."
"So, don't you think it's a pity?"
The old master's gaze fell on Jiang Yu Kuo's small face.
This kid, didn't they meet in the square last time? Why did he pretend not to see him?
Or maybe he didn't get a clear look at him last time.
Oh dear, oh dear, this is so frustrating. Why hasn't Mu Jiuchen arrived yet?
If his great-grandson runs away, he'll make him pay.
"Yiyi, take the children to eat something. Don't let them go hungry." The old master loved children. Children's minds were very pure. Looking at their innocent smiles made him feel happy too.
"Okay, Old Master." Tang Ziyi pointed to the food area not far away and said, "Kuo Bao, Yingying, go play over there."
The two little ones nodded and went.
"Hey! Master Jiu is here." Steward Hong was the first to see Mu Jiuchen and the others.
