Mr. Lu, don't be arrogant.

"Wanying? Is that you?"

Mu Yongnian on the other end of the phone asked carefully.

Mu Wanying hummed and asked calmly, "What's the matter?"

"Oh, it's nothing serious. It's just that the New Year is coming soon, and I wanted to invite you, grandma, and Wanxin to have dinner together. Wanying, thank you for grandma's matter. I'm really sorry, I, I didn't know before..."

Mu Yongnian stuttered, as if he was embarrassed to continue.

Mu Wanying neither forced him nor urged him, nor interrupted him.

She sat in her seat quietly waiting for Mu Yongnian's next words.

Even when her younger sister Mu Wanxin frowned and wanted to say something, Mu Wanying still did not respond and made a gesture to silence her sister.

Mu Yongnian on the other end of the phone stuttered for a long time before uttering the rest of his words. Instead, he mustered up the courage to ask Mu Wanying tentatively, "Wanying, would you...would you do me the honor?"

It seemed like he was trying to persuade Mu Wan to go.

Mu Yongnian also specifically said to Mu Wanying: "I've already asked grandma what she thinks. She's willing to go, but she's worried that you'll be busy with work."

Mu Wanying was still in no hurry to speak.

Mu Yongnian continued:

"Don't worry, I didn't call my parents or anyone else. I only took Zhu'er with me. Of course, if you're busy or don't want to..."

"When?"

Mu Wanying finally spoke, her tone still indifferent.

Her younger sister Mu Wanxin in front of her frowned even deeper, and she already had the urge to snatch the phone, but was stopped again by her elder sister Mu Wanying.

Mu Yongnian on the other end of the phone immediately replied excitedly when he heard this: "It depends on you and Wanxin. I'm fine with it. I'm on vacation recently. Zhu'er is also on vacation, so it's convenient. I've also asked grandma."

"Then let's do it tonight. Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, a time for family reunions, and I want to spend it with the people who matter most to me."

Mu Wanying deliberately emphasized the words "important people".

Mu Yongnian on the other end of the phone listened and suddenly thought of the man he met downstairs of Xingfu New Residence that day, the man who was better than him in every way, and suddenly felt a little displeased.

But when he heard Mu Wanying agreed to him, his unhappiness was temporarily suppressed.

He cleared his throat and replied to Mu Wanying: "Wanying, what time is convenient for you? When do you get off work? Do you have any requirements for where to eat?"

"I'm not working overtime today, and I'll be off work promptly at six. You can decide where to eat; it's best if it's not too far away. Wanxin will be staying with me, and I'll ask her about it later. She should be fine with me going."

"Okay, it's settled then. I'll go make the arrangements now. Wanying, go ahead and do your work. I won't bother you any more. I'll send you the address once I've made the arrangements."

"Sure. But I don't have time to pick up Grandma. You'll be responsible for picking up Grandma and Aunt Zhang."

"Aunt Zhang is going too?"

Mu Yongnian raised a question.

Mu Wanying immediately retorted, "What's wrong? What do you mean? Doesn't Aunt Zhang deserve to go? She's taken care of Grandma more than any of us have in the past six months. She's taken care of her better than any of us. Why not treat her to a meal while we're at it?"

"No, it's not..."

"So what do you mean? And if you don't take Aunt Zhang with you, who will take care of Grandma at night? You or me? Although Grandma can walk and move, her health is not as good as before after the operation. She will get tired after a while. It's best to take a wheelchair when going out. If you don't take Aunt Zhang with you, are you going to carry Grandma on your back?"

Mu Wanying's words were sharp.

Mu Yongnian was so speechless that he couldn't refute a word and quickly denied it.

"No, that's not what I meant. Wanying, you misunderstood me. I just wanted to express that I wanted to bring our family out for dinner tonight, to get together and chat, and I didn't intend to bring her along as an outsider. Since you said you would, don't worry, I will definitely bring her along as well."

"That's more like it. That's all. I have something else to do, so I'll hang up now."

After saying this, Mu Wanying hung up the phone.

Mu Wanxin, who was standing in front of her, hurriedly grabbed her sister's hand and asked her sister solemnly, "Sister, didn't I just tell you about what happened back then?

I was not mistaken. Although I was very young at that time, I still remember what happened!

My cousin is really not a good person. He has bad intentions and obviously has a purpose! Sister, why didn't you refuse and instead agreed? What if he wants to harm you? "

"Just do what needs to be done. What's there to worry about?"

"sister!"

"Don't worry, I'm not a pushover. Mu Yongnian can't do anything to me."

"But……"

"No buts! The only thing is that I don't want him to harass me, harass us, anymore. Since he's trying so hard to get close to me, I'll give him this opportunity. I'm joining in voluntarily. I want to see what he can do, what he dares to do!"

Mu Wanying put away her phone and held her sister's hand, feeling extremely calm and composed.

He was not worried or afraid at all because of what Mu Wanxin said.

Instead, he was calm and composed.

As if nothing happened.

Then, she gently patted her sister's hand and taught her, "Wanxin, remember, there are some things you can't avoid. It's better not to hide and face them head-on!"

"sister……"

"Don't worry, if he eats his meal obediently, I'll begrudgingly waste a little of my time to have this meal with him. After all, it's to make Grandma happy. If he dares to have any evil thoughts or set his sights on me, I'll let him know that I, Mu Wanying, am no little cat. He'll regret what he did tonight for the rest of his life."

Mu Wanying raised her hand to tidy up her sister's bangs, not wanting to talk about it anymore.

Thinking of that young master Zhou Tong who had suddenly become much more obedient after her sister came, Mu Wanying suddenly lowered her voice and asked her sister, "Wanxin, is that young master afraid of you?"

"Did not see it."

Mu Wanxin knew who her sister was talking about.

"Really? I think he's a lot more obedient than when he came last time."

"Oh."

"What do you think of him?"

"Okay."

"Is it okay?"

"Yeah, not bad."

"Just okay?"

"Yeah, just okay."

Mu Wanxin looked calm, without any emotion, as if she was talking about an ordinary friend, without too much joy or the slightest disgust.

Mu Wanying observed it carefully several times, and nodded after confirming that she was not mistaken.

But she clearly noticed that the boy seemed to treat Wanxin a little differently.

She was young once and also went through that age.

The boy's every move, as well as whether he asked her about Wanxin when they were at the villa, were already sending her that signal.

But since her sister had no such intention at all, Mu Wanying had no intention of breaking the window paper.

After seeing her sister off, Mu Wanying took out the cell phone from her pocket.

After thinking it over, she decided to call Lu Linfeng.

The other end picked up the phone immediately and asked Mu Wanying in his magnetic voice, "Did you miss me?"

"go with!"

Mu Wan greeted him and got straight to the point, "Mu Yongnian called me to dinner."

"Who?"

"Mu Yongnian, my mother Mu Xiu's nephew, my oldest cousin."

"he?"

Lu Linfeng dragged out his voice, which seemed to have a deeper meaning.
