Chapter 561 TURNING INTO AN OLD WOMAN
Later, in the evening they went to the castle and asked Qi Ying if she could take the title. Qi Ying was so stunned that she forgot to breathe. The girls chuckled at her reaction.
Mu Feng hugged Qi Ying from behind and said, "Hey, it's alright if you don't agree. We will figure it out together."
Qi Ying didn't hear what he said. She didn't hear her friends' laughter. She nervously looked at Mu Lan and asked, "Are you sure that you want me to take your place?"
Mu Lan smiled as she replied, "I would be delighted if you take the authority."
After thinking for a while, Qi Ying gave her decision. "I won't take this title." Her tone was firm and resolute.
Mu Lan was a bit disappointed but she knew that everyone had their own choices. She nodded and said, "Alright then. I will-"
"But I will be honored to be acting head of the household." Qi Ying interrupted her. "As long as you are out of the country, I will take care of the household. When you will be here, you have to take your position back. At that time, I won't be doing anything. However, I want my own seal. If I make any mistake, at least I don't want others to blame it on you. There won't be any misunderstanding that way."
At first, everyone was astonished. In a second, they all rejoiced.
Mu Lan hugged Qi Ying and said, "Thank you, Xiao Ying. You really saved me."
"That's what a friend does." Qi Ying shyly replied. She hugged her back.
Mu Feng snatched away his girlfriend and hugged her tightly. "I knew my Ying will be generous enough to do it. You even came up with such amazing idea. You are the one who is the most fitted for the Head of the Household." He rubbed his face with hers and patted her head.
"Of course, after all Liang Liang chose her. He cannot be wrong." Mu Lan said proudly. Even though Qi Ying wasn't completely in charge, it was still a great help for her.
"The trouble has ended. Let's have some party!" The talkative Yan Su who was silent till now spoke up.
Mu Lan spoke while thinking, "Will you like the traditional party? I highly doubt it."
Yan Su looked at Mu Lan as if her best friend became a crazy person. "Are you crazy? Why the hell do you want a traditional party? Did you take a wrong medicine?"
Yan Su grabbed Mu Lan by shoulder and shook her more than ten times. It made Mu Lan feel dizzy.
"You know, I was waiting for the party for so long and you crashed my dream like you are killing a mosquito!" Yan Su's vein was popping up.
Mu Lan tried to calm down her friend. "Don't misunderstand me. I also want a crazy teenage party, but we have guests and as the head of the household I didn't welcome them. Thus, as the tradition follows I have to organize a traditional party."
"After getting the title you turned into an older woman." Yan Su was still grabbing onto Mu Lan.
"I have to act that way. I have no other choice. There are some traditions we shouldn't break." Mu Lan wanted to get away from her.
"I don't care what you believe, it has been so long, please held a fun party." Yan Su was in the verge of crying.
Mu Lan sighed. "If I do that what will grandfather think?" She was also worried about that. "Damn I feel like a married woman. Fine, I will hold a party the way you want in the bar outside the castle, only after the traditional party ends. It also means that after the guests are leaving, we will do that."
"Why is a party so important?" Xue Lin sighed. Since she had free time, she was staying here and learning some soft skills.
Yan Su didn't heed to what Xue Lin said. "No worries, I will wait till then. We will have so much fun." Her eyes glittered. She already started planning what to wear in the party.
Mu Lan sighed in relief. "Well then, I have some things I want to do." She almost fled from them.
After she went back to her study room, Mu Lan was greeted by Noel. He was organizing the files.
"Are you done with the invitation letters?" Mu Lan asked him.
Noel answered politely, "Yes, Madam Mu. The letters have been sent."
Mu Lan continued, "From tomorrow Xiao Ying will start her lesson as ahead of the household. Please guide her well. In the party we are going to introduce her as the acting mistress of the house."
"As you wish, Madam Mu." Noel agreed.
After a whole week of learning and teaching, finishing the office work and organizing the party, Mu Lan was exhausted. However, she got a joyful news and that was she had recovered completely.
Since she didn't run or did heavy works, only did the table works, her body was able to heal faster. However, it made Lu Feng even more suspicious.
"I wish I could take her blood sample." Lu Feng's head was filled with only this one thought. He couldn't sleep properly after the accident occurred. To him, Mu Lan definitely had a better immune system than the rest of the people. But why was it, he couldn't get it.
Before leaving Lu Feng met Mu Liang. "There is something I want to tell you."
"Go on." Mu Liang said.
"I'm going to Brazil for a month or it could take more than a month." Lu Feng said. He researched on some plants and the reference said that they were in Brazil. He had to go there. He couldn't wait any longer.
'Is it a coincidence?' Mu Liang thought. "When do you want to leave?"
"Tonight." Lu Feng said.
"That important…. Okay. We are going to Paris after the party ends. Your fiancee will be with us." Mu Liang replied.
