114 Unexpected Venue
Mu Chen smiled and said, “Is it very similar to Shen Shan’s bad temper?”
Shen Shan glared at him. “Of course, my grandson is like me! Unlike your grandson, not like you at all!”
Mu Chen also glared at him. “Who said that? You didn’t see my eldest grandson who is very similar to me! Hmph!”
Shen Shan became energetic. “Hmph! Then let’s have a competition. Let’s see whose grandson looks more like them!”
Mu Chen said angrily, “Why are you still like this? Ning Xin, control him!”
Ning Xin smiled and said, “I’ve been managing him for my entire life, but he is like this. To be honest, Mu Chen, why didn’t you bring Mu Ci along? I haven’t seen him for many years. I heard that you’ve arranged a marriage for him. How is it? Is he feeling better?”
Mu Chen smiled and nodded. “He’s really much better. Let him bring his wife to see you another day. The couple is very close.”
Ning Xin said, “That’s great! I want to see what kind of girl can win that kid’s heart!”
Shen Shan scoffed. “Don’t flatter yourself. Only you can come up with a bad idea like counteracting bad luck! If Ning Xin hadn’t stopped me, I would have rushed to your house to beat you up!”
Mu Chen’s smile faded and he said reluctantly, “I really have no choice. For the sake of my children and grandchildren, I can even smash my old bones. I don’t care if I lose face.”
This topic was a little heavy.
Shen Bai could read the situation very well. She smiled and said, “Auntie Mu’s family is blessed.”
Duan Si’s smile turned cold and she pulled Shen Su’s hand again. “I’m looking forward to Shen Su being my daughter-in-law!”
The Shen Family members looked at each other inadvertently before shifting their gazes and changing the topic.
Guests came in one after another, and the pleasantries were endless. The topic of the Mu Family was finally diverted, but Duan Si’s attitude was already very clear, and the Shen Family tacitly stopped mentioning it.
However, Duan Si was anxious to prove to the Shen Family that she liked his youngest son and daughter-in-law the most. She wanted to reassure the Shen Family, so she pulled the Shen Family’s Eldest Madam over and Shen Su’s mother, Yu Ling, started chatting enthusiastically.
Shen Bai entertained the guests in the hall, and Song Nan looked at her with envy.
Women could only be considered successful if they lived like Shen Bai.
The people in this room were either rich or noble. All of them had a high status. She was like an anomaly, out of place here.
All of Duan Si’s attention was on Yu Ling now. She was trying her best to pave the way for her son. Song Nan vaguely understood that although Old Master Mu and the Shen Family’s Old Master and Matriarch were so familiar with each other, it was obvious that the Shen Family was more powerful than the Mu Family. This could be seen from Duan Si’s attitude.
It seemed like she had to put in all her effort to make the Shen Family’s Eldest Young Master notice her.
She scanned her surroundings and thought to herself that even if he wasn’t the Eldest Young Master, any young master was fine. She wasn’t picky. It was fine as long as she could enter such a family. As long as she was given a platform, she wouldn’t be inferior to Shen Bai.
Her gaze wandered.

The moment Mu Ci got out of the car, he frowned. What a coincidence. Why did Matriarch Luo and Matriarch Shen choose to celebrate their birthdays in the same clubhouse?
Bei Shuo pushed his wheelchair and whispered to her Second Senior Brother, “Second Senior Brother, how did you tell your Grandma about me?”
Luo Bing glanced at her and found it funny. “Are you having stage fright? Are you afraid that she won’t like you?”
Bei Shuo smiled sheepishly and quibbled, “I’m just afraid of embarrassing you. My parents despise me for being a country girl. If your family feels the same way, won’t they look down on you too?”
Her unintentional words made Luo Bing’s face darken. “Despise you? They’re really something! Mu Ci!”
Mu Ci smiled. “Got it! Senior Brother Luo! Understood!”
“Understand what?” Bei Shuo was confused.
Mu Ci turned around and patted Bei Shuo’s hand. “Don’t be nervous. You’re so obedient and beautiful. Who wouldn’t like you? She must be blind!”
Bei Shuo stared at the top of Mu Ci’s head and thought to himself, Are you saying that your mother is blind?
Then, she felt that it was funny.
Who cared? It didn’t matter if they liked her or not. It was fine as long as her senior brother was her senior brother.
She could also see how his senior brother’s family treated him. If they didn’t treat him well, she would kidnap his senior brother! They could live together when they were young, and it wouldn’t be a problem when they grew up.
