Gossips spread the fastest, in just one night, the entire upper-class society of Ningzhou City knew about the matter of the Mu Family had found the Second Young Miss and attended Nan Pei's banquet.
When the news got out, based on the original facts, there is something more added to the story.
At the party held by the Young Miss of the Nan family, the Second Young Miss who had just been found by the Mu family became the target of public criticism. Nobody knows who brought up the idea of letting the girl who was found from the countryside play the piano.
As a result, not only did she not make a fool of herself as others had thought, but she made wonderful music even when the piano had something wrong.
She ruthlessly slapped the faces of everyone present. But more importantly, Nan Sheng seemed to pay special attention to Mu Wen Li.
This also lets the already very ambiguous Mu and Nan Family relationship much more hot topic.
The Mu family returned to the Mu family at one o'clock in the afternoon. Mu Chenyu originally wanted to go to straight to the company but Mu Kui Yuan called him to make sure everyone is well.
It was likely that the news from last night had reached the old man's ears.
Mu Nuanxi and Lu Xue went through the door. Because she had fallen into the water last night, she looked a little weak and pale.
Wen Li followed closely, followed by the obnoxious chirping of Mu Chenxing and Mu Chenyu.
As soon as she stepped through the door, she heard voices coming from inside, as if someone was arguing violently.
Wen Li could tell that it was Li Mengluo's voice. She walked into the living room and saw the girl standing by the coffee table, her face red.
It's really Li Mengluo.
"Grandfather." Mu Nuanxi shouted first.
The old man who was listening to Li Mengluo looked up and saw his granddaughter's pale face. His face softened.
"Dad." Lu Xue helped Mu Nuanxi sit on the sofa.
"How is Xi'er? Are you better?" The old man stared at his granddaughter.
Nuanxi obediently nodded, "I am much better grandfather sorry to let you worry."
Mu Kui Yuan's heart softened. This granddaughter of his had been sensible since she was young. She was a little timid and careful. Whenever she came across something, she would always think for others. It was heartbreaking.
"Go upstairs and have a good rest." Mu Kui Yuan instructed.
Mu Nuanxi looked back at the three of them." Grandfather, I'm not tired yet."
Mu Kui Yuan stared at Mu Chen Yu and then looked at Mu Chen Xing. "Tell me, what happened last night."
"My sister fell into the water when we were not looking." Mu Chen Xing is a little guilty, but he followed it by pointing at Wen Li, "But grandpa, The culprit is her ah, If she didn't run around and went missing, Sister would not look for her everywhere and she would not fall into the water."
Mu Chen Xing thought that the old man would blame Mu Nuanxi for falling into the water.
Mu Kui Yuan glared at him. "Am I asking about this?!"
Mu Chen Xing was taken aback as he looked at Wen Li. Could it be that he was wrong?
"I told all of you to take good care of Lili when you all went out. She just came back and we don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at her. The meaning of letting all of you look after her is to not let others bully her. You guys are really good. You let her be humiliated at the banquet!" Mu Kui Yuan opened his mouth and knocked the cane heavily on the ground.
Hearing this, everyone felt uncomfortable.
At first, he had thought that his grandfather was furious because of Mu Nuanxi, but he had never thought that it was because of this wild girl. This made Mu Chenxing unhappy.
"Grandfather, you don't even care about sister who fell into the water. Why is are you so concerned about her? Besides, we didn't do anything to her. Isn't she standing here with good arms and legs?" As Mu Chen Xing spoke, he glanced at the silent Wen Li.
"Shut up." The old man stared at him, "Do you think I'm old and deaf? I know more about the news than you do. I also know what happened! You must give me an explanation."
When Wen Li was being ridiculed by so many people, Mu Chen Yu wasn't there. Mu Chen Xing was the only one who was watching. He knew that his grandfather is angry and retreated behind Mu Chen Yu.
"Speak!" The old man successfully targeted Mu Chen Yu.
The latter looked at his younger siblings and could only speak.
"It's just a small matter that doesn't hurt. Why do you care so much."
He was talking with several business partners, and when he came out, he also listened to the secretary and Mu Chenxing and knew what had happened.
Wen Li had indeed become the target of everyone's criticism, but she had taken everyone by surprise and saved her face. Moreover, she had saved it beautifully.
"Are you trying to quibble? How are you taking care of your younger siblings!"
"Grandfather, didn't Luo Luo tell you what happened just now? Why are you still angry?" Li Mengluo went forward and said coquettishly.
Mu Nuanxi also stood up and said, "Grandfather, Li Li didn't lose out in this matter. Don't be angry. It's our fault. We didn't take good care of Li Li, so we'll definitely pay more attention in the future."
The old master and children always spoke with a delicate manner, especially the little girl who had been doted on since she was young. When she spoke, she could make people feel soft.
Looking at his granddaughter's somewhat pale face, Mu Kui Yuan's heart softened.
Housekeeper Mu seized the opportunity to go up and advise him, "You can't always handle the children's matters. Besides, Third Miss is fine, don't be angry."
"Forget it, forget it. Li Li is also fine. All of you, pay more attention in the future! "The old man could only let it go.
With just a few words, Mu Kui Yuan's anger dropped a lot.
Mu Jing An, who was sitting on the sofa, did not say a word. She slowly flipped through the magazine in her hand and stayed out of the matter. She also looked up at Wen Li from time to time.
Because it is already afternoon, they had also prepared afternoon tea, so Aunt Ruan called the children over.
Li Mengluo was just about to say something when Auntie Ruan dragged her over.
"Li Li, come to the study with Grandpa. Grandpa has something to tell you."
Wen Li followed the old man into the study. For the convenience of Mu Kui Yuan, his study was on the first floor.
After they entered the door, Mu Jing An closed the magazine in her hand and Lu Xue sat down beside her.
"What do you see?"
"Calm and steady. She didn't say anything unnecessary throughout the entire process. Her way of thinking is even more mature than the children in this family." Mu Jing An gave her evaluation.
"She's not one to be trifled with."
If Li Mengluo hadn't forcefully brought her back today, Mu Jing An wouldn't have come. There was no need for adults to be involved in the fight between children.
However, she was also very curious about Mu Wenli. The child that the old man had been talking about for so many years had grown up.
"She is really not easy to deal with."
Lu Xue gripped the cup in her hand tightly. If it weren't for Mu Kui Yuan's persistence, Wen Li wouldn't have returned to this home.
When everything is a foregone conclusion, people who break the balance are always the least liked.

Auntie seems like quite the calm and collected individual, so I'm not sure if she'll be kind or cruel to the MC. At the very least, it seems like she's not there to get revenge for her idiot daughter.
