So cool! Grab the scumbag's inheritance and become his aunt
Chapter 8: Dog bites dog, gift-giving controversy
Before the banquet began, the younger generations came forward one by one to present gifts and celebrate the birthday.
The three brothers Shen Guanghui, Shen Mingli and Shen Ji'an each brought their lovers to wish the old lady a happy birthday.
Then came the grandchildren.
As the eldest daughter of the Shen family, when Shen He brought Mu Tingyun to celebrate the birthday, she naturally attracted the attention of everyone in the audience.
She wore a shoulder-baring slim-fitting fishtail dress, and her steps were like lotus flowers. Her cat eyes, which were painted with tipsy makeup, had a startling glimmer in them, and her beautiful appearance caused heated discussions among the guests.
Standing next to the third son of the Mu family, she actually didn't lose a bit of aura.
Shen He had already given the gift. She said a few festive birthday words, and then it was Mu Tingyun's turn to present the gift.
Mu Tingyun held the gift box and turned to Shen Guanghui who was sitting at the table and said, "Uncle Shen, please do me a favor."
Shen Guanghui stood up with a smile on his face and cooperated with Mu Tingyun to unfold the embroidery work.
As the work was unfolded, a pair of longevity cranes standing on a pine tree appeared before the guests, and their eyes lit up when they saw the embroidery.
They gathered around and enthusiastically praised the embroidery, saying that it was lifelike and every stitch was so vivid, and must have been made by a famous artist.
But as soon as Ms. Zhong saw the white crane on the embroidery, she felt a sense of familiarity.
The smile on her face suddenly faded.
Mu Tingyun smiled slightly and said gracefully: "Grandma Zhong, this is the "Longevity White Crane Picture" I got from the representative master of Suzhou embroidery, Teacher Zhang Jingyu."
"I present this embroidery to Grandma Zhong. I wish you good health and a long life."
Upon hearing this, the guests all sighed with emotion——
"I said this crane is so vivid and lifelike that it is not something that an ordinary embroiderer can create. It turns out that it is the work of Master Zhang Jingyu!"
"Mr. Mu is really thoughtful."
Hearing the compliments from the guests, Mu Tingyun's eyes revealed a hint of arrogance.
But the Shen family members who knew the inside story all changed their expressions when they heard the three words "Zhang Jingyu".
Shen Guanghui looked at the old lady with even more fear.
Seeing Ms. Zhong's sinister look, Shen Guanghui angrily questioned Mu Tingyun: "Tingyun, what's wrong with you! Why give this woman something when you can give something else!"
"unlucky!"
Mu Tingyun frowned immediately and asked Shen Guanghui: "Uncle Shen, what do you mean by this?"
He said puzzledly: "Teacher Zhang Jingyu is a recognized representative master of Suzhou embroidery. I heard from Uncle Shen that Grandma Zhong has a hobby of collecting embroidered porcelain, so I specially came to find her."
"What did I do wrong? Please tell me, Shen Shuming."
Hearing the conversation, Ms. Zhong cast a scrutinizing look at Shen Guanghui.
Seeing this, Shen Guanghui was so anxious that he wanted to stamp his feet. He gritted his teeth and said, "I did say that my mother has a hobby of collecting porcelain and embroidery, but I never said that she likes Zhang Jingyu's embroidery!"
"But Uncle Shen didn't say that it couldn't be Teacher Zhang Jingyu's embroidery." Mu Tingyun's eyes suddenly became sharp and cold. He asked Shen Guanghui: "Uncle Shen is blaming me for doing something wrong?"
It was Shen Guanghui who wanted to attend the birthday party himself and give him a big gift to make him proud. Now it is Shen Guanghui who is disgusted with him for doing something wrong.
This Shen Guanghui...
Mu Tingyun's eyes suddenly turned cold when he looked at Shen Guanghui.
Shen Guanghui was also somewhat afraid of Mu Tingyun. Seeing that Mu Tingyun was angry, he did not dare to say anything.
Looking up and meeting Ms. Zhong's scrutinizing gaze from above, Shen Guanghui secretly felt unlucky.
If he had known this would happen, he would not have called Mu Tingyun in the first place.
He quickly explained to Ms. Zhong: "Mom, this is all a misunderstanding..."
Ms. Zhong sneered, interrupted Shen Guanghui, and said in a tone that was neither light nor heavy: "Guanghui, although you are not my biological son, you have grown up with me since you were a child."
"I have been very kind to you over the years, and I don't think I have ever treated you unfairly." Ms. Zhong's eyes turned cold as she stared at Zhang Jingyu's stamp on the corner of the embroidery.
In front of the guests, she openly questioned Shen Guanghui: "Many years ago, your father cheated on me during my third trimester of pregnancy. The woman he had an affair with was Zhang Jingyu!"
"This is a family scandal. Outsiders don't know about it. Don't you know about it either?"
"Today is my 70th birthday. You gave me such a big gift. Do you hope that I will live a long and healthy life? Or do you hope that I will die soon?"
As soon as these words came out, the whole place was in an uproar!
"What! Shen Zhenkun's affair with Zhang Jingyu back then was actually true?"
"Isn't the eldest son of the Shen family the biological son of Ms. Zhong and Shen Zhenkun? I always thought that Ms. Zhong was the biological mother of the eldest son."
After hearing the discussions of the guests, Mu Tingyun realized that Shen Guanghui was not Ms. Zhong's biological son.
He was quite surprised. He didn't expect that Ms. Zhong could hide the scandal so well.
Ms. Zhong did not announce this matter to the public before, she must have wanted to give Shen Guanghui face.
but now...
At the wedding banquet for his stepmother's 70th birthday, the stepson and his future son-in-law, who came from a prominent family, jointly gave his mistress's embroidery as a birthday gift.
Anyone would be furious if this happened, so it's no wonder Ms. Zhong made such a fuss.
Mu Tingyun couldn't embarrass his future father-in-law in front of everyone, so he took the blame on himself and said, "I'm sorry, Grandma Zhong, I didn't handle this well."
Mu Tingyun rolled up the embroidery into a ball and pretended to throw it into the trash can.
"Don't throw it away." Ms. Zhong said to Shen Guanghui, "Mr. Mu San must have spent a lot of money on this painting. Guanghui, put this embroidery away and burn it for your father when you have time. This is the work of his old lover, he will definitely like this gift."
After that, Ms. Zhong laughed mockingly and said in a sarcastic tone, "If your father is still alive, he will definitely be pleased with your filial piety."
Shen Guanghui's face turned black, but he could only bite the bullet and put away the painting of the longevity white crane.
After that, Ms. Zhong acted as if nothing had happened, eating and drinking as usual, but Mu Tingyun and Shen Guanghui were unusually silent.
After eating a few bites with his chopsticks, Mu Tingyun called Shen He and left first.

Taking the car keys from the parking attendant, Mu Tingyun sat in the driver's seat silently.
As soon as Shen He sat down in the passenger seat, he heard Mu Tingyun ask in an unpredictable tone: "Did you know in advance?"
"What?" Shen He showed an unexpected reaction.
Mu Tingyun suppressed his anger and asked her again: "Do you know about the relationship between Teacher Zhang Jingyu and your grandmother?"
Shen He's eyes suddenly turned red, and without any warning, she started crying for no apparent reason.
Mu Tingyun was stunned, his face full of confusion, "Why are you crying?"
Shen He cried and accused Mu Tingyun: "Mu Tingyun, are you doubting me? Do you suspect that I am deliberately embarrassing you? Shame on you in public?"
"Mu Tingyun! So in your heart, I am this kind of person?"
"What am I? A scheming bitch with a lot of ulterior motives?"
The more he talked, the harder Shen He cried.
Mu Tingyun: "..."
He actually saw Qin Yinong's shadow on Shen He. This horrifying thought frightened Mu Tingyun sober.
He thought carefully about what happened today, and realized that his accusation just now had indeed wronged Shen He.
"You don't know about this?" Mu Tingyun also calmed down.
Shen He deliberately said angrily: "No! I know, I did it on purpose! I just want to see you embarrassed, and if you embarrass yourself, I will also be proud of it!"
"I'm a bitch. I just like acting and attracting attention!" Shen He was already crying uncontrollably when she finished speaking.
To be honest, she had never cried like this in her life.
Afraid that her tears would run out and she wouldn't be able to continue pretending to be a green tea bitch, Shen He was still secretly pulling her thigh.
Damn, it hurts!
