Mr. Lu, don't be arrogant.

Not only did Lu Linfeng not resist, he was also reluctant to push her away. Instead, he hugged her and gently patted her back, speaking softly and soothingly in her ears.

"If it makes you uncomfortable, just bite a few more times. I'm tough, it's okay!"

"Lu Linfeng, you bastard!"

Mu Wanying relaxed, but her little hands had already wrapped around the man's neck. She leaned on his shoulder and moaned, venting her dissatisfaction.

"If you want to help him, just say it directly. Why do you have to beat around the bush? Do you think I don't understand or that I can't listen? Am I that unreasonable?"

"Yes, I am a bastard! But there is one thing I want to make clear. I never thought of speaking for him. I have always stood on your side. Just now..."

Lu Linfeng slowed down and patted Mu Wanying's back more gently.

He sighed slightly, "I just thought of that and asked by the way. If you don't like it, I won't ask next time, okay?"

"up to you!"

Mu Wanying said angrily, but she wasn't so angry anymore.

She wiped her eyes, got out of the man's arms, turned around, took out her cell phone and called her mother Yu Qingya. The first sentence she said was a sweet and obedient "Mom, Happy New Year!"

This New Year greeting was the first one in her life, and it was also the most sincere and heartfelt greeting.

Yu Qingya's heart melted.

She was happier than receiving anything else and asked her daughter on the other end of the phone, "Wanying, where did you spend the New Year's Eve last night? You didn't go back to Mantingchun, so you went to your grandma's house? Do you want to come to your mother's place for dinner today?"

"Okay, I'll go after I've seen grandma."

Mu Wanying responded.

Yu Qingya was delighted for a while. She hurriedly asked her daughter on the other end of the phone, "Wanying, what do you want to eat? I'll go prepare it now. And Lin Feng, what does he want to eat? Tell me too!"

"As long as it's made by my mother, everything is fine."

Mu Wanying said softly.

Yu Qingya thought about it, but decided not to make a decision on her own. She listed a dozen dishes at once, two of which were her best.

Even though she rarely goes into the kitchen in recent years.

But after reading out the names of the dishes, she still said to Mu Wanying, "Is there anything here that you don't like? Is there anything else you want to eat? Tell me and I'll make it for you myself!"

"No need to prepare anything, just be casual." Mu Wanying said softly, and then chatted with her mother for some personal words before hanging up the phone.

Then they got up, packed up, took Mu Wanxin to the hospital to see her grandmother, and the three of them drove directly to Mantingchun.

Mu Wanxin realized it only after she realized the route was not the way home and then asked her sister and brother-in-law, "Sister, brother-in-law, where are we going?"

"Jiang family."

Mu Wanying's voice was faint.

Lu Linfeng echoed, "Don't be nervous about your sister's biological mother. She's very easy to talk to, gentle, and kind to younger generations. She's also a university professor! It won't do you any harm to get to know her more. Who knows, she might even open up new avenues for you in the future!"

"This……"

When Mu Wanxin heard the word "university professor", her eyes lit up.

But when I thought that she was my sister's biological mother, the wife of the Jiang family, I became nervous again.

Mu Wanying saw it in the rearview mirror and immediately comforted her, "Don't be nervous. She's just like your brother-in-law said, a very gentle woman. You're so well behaved, she'll like you very much!"

"I……"

Having said that, Mu Wanxin still couldn't control her nervousness.

At this time, Mu Wanying said, "I called Zhou Tong over as well. If you're really nervous, play with him. He occasionally goes to the Jiang family and is considered a semi-acquaintance there."

"Oh."

Mu Wanxin finally felt better.

Lu Linfeng, who was driving, looked at his sister-in-law in the rearview mirror, and an unfathomable smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but he hid it well and did not let the people behind him notice it.

But it is unrealistic not to be discovered by Mu Wanying.

The moment he smiled, Mu Wanying had already noticed it. She suddenly reached out her little hand and gently pinched his thigh to remind him.

Lu Linfeng understood, quickly stopped smiling, and started driving seriously.

Half an hour later, the three of them arrived at Jiang's house in Mantingchun on time.

But before he entered the Jiang family compound, he ran into Lu Heng walking towards him with a tired face, as if he was just coming out of the Jiang family. But when he saw the young couple Lu Linfeng and Mu Wanying, Lu Heng stopped in his tracks.

Lu Linfeng also stopped where he was.

He was still holding his wife Mu Wanying's hand, but the smile and tenderness on his face disappeared in an instant, replaced by indifference and coldness. He neither gave way to Lu Heng nor called out "Dad".

Mu Wan followed her husband's lead without calling out to Lu Heng. She stood in front of Lu Heng like a stranger.

Needless to say, Mu Wanxin stood behind her sister and brother-in-law with a nervous look on her face, acting as a silent human tail.

The father and son just stood there frozen.

It was Yu Qingya who was in the house who caught a glimpse of the deadlock outside from afar and hurried out to break the awkwardness.

After sending Lu Heng away, Yu Qingya immediately grabbed her daughter's hand, but noticed the dark circles under her eyes. She then remembered what her daughter had said before coming here, 'I'll go after I see my grandma,' and immediately frowned distressedly, "Wanying, what's wrong with you? Did something happen to your grandma? Did she stay up late?"

"Grandma fell ill last night and went to the hospital."

"Is the old man okay?"

"I've made it. I'll be out of the hospital in a few more days."

"That's good! Amitabha, I'm glad you're okay!"

Yu Qingya breathed a sigh of relief.

She no longer looked as otherworldly as before.

Today, Yu Qingya was wearing an apron with oil stains on it and on her hands. Her beautiful long hair was tied up, and she smelled of kitchen fumes. It was obvious that she had just run out of the kitchen.

However, given her status and Jiang Shangru's love for her, there was no place for her in the kitchen, but she still did it, and her intention was touching.

Mu Wanying's heart moved, and she immediately hugged her mother. She briefly explained what happened last night to her mother, and then introduced her sister Mu Wanxin to her mother.

After the two of them greeted each other, he leaned close to his mother's ear and asked, "Mom, is Jiang Shangru here?"

"Yes, in the study! You, Lin Feng and Wanxin go sit inside first, mom will go to the study to call you right away!" Yu Qingya held Mu Wanying with one hand and Mu Wanxin with the other, and did not forget to greet Lu Linfeng, she was very enthusiastic.

Mu Wanying looked at her mother like this and couldn't bear to interrupt her.

It wasn't until they arrived at the Jiang family's living room and met the Jiang family members, Jiang's guests, and her second uncle, whom she had only met a few times, that Mu Wanying leaned over to her mother's ear again and said, "Mom, I'll go directly to the study to find Jiang Shangru. You don't have to call him."

"Okay, then mom will continue cooking and call you when it's ready!" Yu Qingya smiled and touched her daughter's little face.

Mu Wanying nodded and whispered in her mother's ear again, "Also, Mom, no matter how loud the fight between Jiang Shangru and I is, don't take it to heart. I know my limits, and he...should know his limits too!"

"What do you mean?"

Yu Qingya asked in confusion.

Mu Wanying shook her head and raised her hand to help her tidy up her hair. "I'll tell you later. Don't worry, I know he's my real father and I won't try to piss him off to death. Just remember to come up and 'stop the fight' when you hear any noise. It's best to make a big noise so everyone knows we're having an argument. But don't let anyone else come up, Mom. Do you understand?"
