Early in the morning, the Mu family parked their car at the door of the Mu family, just to wait for the young lady of the Mu family to get in the car.
Mu Fu and Mu Cai were sitting in the room busy dressing themselves up. The people in the living room did not understand this behavior of Commander Mu's family.
"Is this a show?" Dongzi looked at the posture with some confusion.
"Probably to curry favor with our eldest young master, we must be careful about this member of the Mu family."
"Yeah." Dongzi nodded hurriedly, keeping in mind the things the housekeeper often mentioned.
Not long after, Mu Fu came to the living room with the gift and took a look outside.
"Cai'er, ask Brother Li if he's going to come with you." She sat elegantly on the sofa with a smile, but no emotion could be seen: "You are trying to attract hatred for me."
"Ah?" Dongzi stood aside and was stunned for a moment: "No wonder Uncle De told me to be careful about these people."
Mu Fu smiled and said nothing, and Liu Limao walked out of the study.
"Hey, put on the little suit." She looked carefree, which made Mu Jing behind want to punch someone.
"Don't do such inelegant movements when you put on such elegant clothes. If you go to Mu's house, it will be the facade of Mu's house?" The eldest brother sat on the nearest sofa and couldn't help but hold his forehead.
"I know." Mu Fu signaled Cai'er to hand the gift directly to Brother Li and let him take it.
When a group of people went out to get on the bus, they were stopped by the driver who got off the bus.
"Why don't you, the eldest young master of the Mu family, come with you?"
"The eldest young master is very busy. He has to attend a banquet later, so he won't go." Liu Limao, wearing a small bow tie, replied.
"Miss Mu, this..." The driver was a little embarrassed and didn't know how to explain to the host.
"Only my name was written on the invitation. According to you, do you mean that I have to take my eldest brother with me?" Mu Fu tilted his head, a little unbelievable.
If it weren't for the truth about that incident and the recent rumors in Shanghai, it really wouldn't matter whether I attended this birthday party or not.
I didn't expect them to be so aggressive. I knew the banquet was for Mu Jing from the beginning, but I didn't expect them to be so blatant.
"Brother, I don't have to go to all banquets. I lost everything because of you today." She folded her arms, turned around and muttered coquettishly.
"Mu really can't escape, please forgive me. If I am treated poorly because I don't go, then no one in the Mu family will go. Let's go out for a big meal today, and don't worry about the meal at his home.
Come on." Mu Jing commanded the people who had not yet gotten on the bus very grandly.
Just as they were about to go back to the house, they were stopped by the driver again.
"Since Master Mu is not free, the eldest lady who was originally invited should go. After all, the eldest lady had coffee with our Mu family ladies some time ago?" the driver said with an apologetic smile.
We can't afford to offend both parties, so we can only take the person over first and then talk.
"This...isn't good." Mu Fu's tone was a bit harsh, and he continued: Don't you still have to wait for my eldest brother?
"No need, just go if anyone is free."
Liu Limao smiled at Mu Jing with a successful look on his face, and the three of them got into the car as they wished.
"Why did you come to pick him up so early today?" Mu Fu took the opportunity to trick the driver in order to prepare in advance in case there was any problem.
"My lady said that there are some things that I need to explain to you during the coffee day. If I pick you up in advance, we can discuss it in detail."
When the driver said this, the expressions of the other three people changed.
What does this person mean? Did we just talk about the topic directly in the past?
The three of them looked at each other, and Mu Fu couldn't help but sneer: "What's the explanation? What? Did the Mu family do something that I'm sorry for?"
"It shouldn't be that serious. Maybe there is a miscommunication between the two of you." The driver smiled and tried to smooth things over.
"You are not an ordinary driver. You know this kind of thing." Mu Fu leaned against the window, sitting elegantly and not angry at times.
"Miss Mu is indeed smart. I hope your trip today will go smoothly." Hao Yu did not need to pretend to be a driver, but revealed his identity as an adjutant and said to them.
"Then thank you for your kind words." Mu Fu smiled, stopped talking, and looked out the window.
Some rustling people were walking back and forth outside, stopping in front of the vendors from time to time to play with various items.
"What? Do you want to go shopping again?" Liu Limao couldn't help laughing.
"I'm just thinking about how long can such peaceful days last?" The sudden emotion made him at a loss and didn't know how to answer.
"Why do you think so?"
"Although Shanghai City looks prosperous on the surface, it is actually just troubled by internal and external troubles." She lowered the curtains and closed her eyes to rest.
This girl's predictions are quite accurate.
He was in a good mood immediately and seemed to be enjoying the time together in the car.
Not long after, the car stopped at Mu Mansion.
"We've arrived, please get out of the car." Hao Yu said after parking the car.
Liu Limao nodded, got out of the car and opened the door for the two girls.
He looked at the greeting posture at the door and said to Mu Fu: "You have to be careful in everything. This greeting posture is obviously for evil purposes."
"I know." She remained calm and was welcomed in.
Liu Limao was personally taken to another place by Mu Jingrong, the eldest son of the Mu family, while Master Mu Fu was taken to the boudoir.
"Girls always have a lot of private things to talk about, and your past wasn't very good either."
"How can I be personally received by the eldest young master of the Mu family?" Liu Limao picked up the champagne on the table and drank with the person opposite.
Mu Jingrong has already obtained the position of division commander in the army at a young age, and has a good mass base in the military camp.
He is frank and generous in his conduct, gets married early and has children, and is a thoroughly good man.
"What's the point? My father always wants to get you to work for him in the military camp." Mu Jingrong smiled and went to chat with other people.
On the other side, Mu Minghong was sitting in her boudoir, with Lian'er next to her always tinkering with something in her head.
"You picked me up early and you are still dressing up yourself. This is not the way to treat guests." Mu Fu tilted his head and said jokingly.
"I originally wanted to wake up early and dress up, but this girl Lian'er didn't call me." She sat in front of the dressing table, covering her mouth to hold back a yawn.
"Haha." Mu Fu took a few steps forward and continued: "Cai'er, give the gift we prepared to Miss Mu."
Originally, Mu Minghong didn't think of preparing a gift for her, but she was surprised when she heard this.
After Lian'er took it, she opened it on the spot.
"This bracelet is made of the same stone that Miss always looks at." She grabbed the gift inside and sighed: "Miss Mu is really thoughtful."
"Is there anything bad about Miss Mu's gift? You are really rude." Mu Minghong stood up and pretended to scold her, asking her to put it away.
"I wonder if the eldest brother of the Mu family is here?"
"There are too many things to do in business. He is very busy and can't come." Mu Fu waved his handkerchief, looking helpless.
"Haha, there is nothing we can do about it. I have never heard of any girl's invitation that he accepted, so I just asked casually." Miss Mu was a little embarrassed and turned to glare at Lian'er: "Why are you still standing there?
What? Why don’t you hurry up and fix my hair before we go out to greet the guests.”
"Yes." After Lian'er put down the things in her hands, she turned to help Mu Minghong start dressing up.
"Who is this?" Cai'er muttered in a low voice with some dissatisfaction: "Didn't she invite us here early in the morning?"
"Shh." Mu Fu asked her to speak softly so as not to be heard.
"Okay." Lian'er's last reminder made Mu Minghong stand up from the dressing table again.
"You haven't met any other boudoir friends since you came back, so I'll take you to get to know them." She pulled Mu Fu out without explanation.
It's obviously your birthday party, why did you ask my lady to help you entertain the guests?
Cai'er was very speechless and couldn't say anything. She just kept watching from behind and watching everyone in the family.
"What's wrong with you girl? Are you like guarding against thieves?" Mu Minghong found it very interesting.
"That's because you gave her a sap before, so it became like this." Mu Fu casually told the truth, causing the person holding her to feel frightened.
"These are all misunderstandings." The two of them just walked to the living room, and Miss Mu couldn't help but change the subject: "Miss Tang Le is here, sit inside."
"Then I'm disrespectful. I heard that you sent a car to pick up Mu Fu. Why do I feel that you two don't look too peaceful?"
Mu Fu raised the corners of his mouth and stood aside without speaking.
"Miss, Brother Li is calling you." She followed Cai'er's guidance and found that the man was drinking with the eldest young master of the Mu family.
This guy can really get along with anyone. Mu Fu sighed: Fortunately, this kind of person was adopted by the Mu family. If it were in other families, he would be a sharp knife in his backhand.
The two of them walked in the direction of Liu Limao: "It's not dinner yet, and I'm going to be full of wine."
The eldest young master of the Mu family over there turned around to deal with the new person approaching him: "It's rare for Miss Mu's family to appreciate the honor, why don't you come and have a drink too?"
"No need, there will be more and more guests coming, so Master Mu, please don't get drunk."
After Mu Fu finished speaking, Liu Limao pulled the person aside to discuss today's information.
"From Master Mu's words, I can tell that the young lady whose birthday is today has always been thinking about my eldest brother."
"Isn't this an obvious thing?" Cai'er hid aside and couldn't help teasing: "Is this all you heard after drinking a lot of wine?"
"Have I not finished yet? There is another point - one of the dead adjutants died when Commander Mu sent him on a mission."
Mu Fu was very surprised: "Didn't the news you checked earlier say that the man was sent to another place because he violated military orders, and then he died of illness?"
"Yes, this is the most noteworthy point. I also find it very strange." Liu Limao nodded while holding the cup: "We still have to find out what the specific situation is."
