Chapter 4 The Betrothal Ceremony
On this day, the Mu family was full of lights and was very lively, because today was the engagement ceremony of Mu Yue'er, the daughter of the head of the Mu family.
Originally, the engagement ceremony of the daughter of the head of the family should have been happy for the Mu family, but who made this man a well-known waste in the entire Qinzhou City, naturally some people's faces were full of unhappiness.
Mu Feng, Mu Yu and several other juniors of the Mu family had obvious unhappiness on their faces. Just kidding, Mu Yue'er, the pearl of their Mu family, is actually going to marry a waste, which makes it difficult for them to be brothers.
"This waste, I don't know which lifetime of blessings I cultivated. ”
"It's a pity, Sister Yue'er. ”
"Hmph, I hope this waste can be self-aware, don't miss Sister Yue'er. ”
Several people were full of resentment in their tones, and they didn't want to believe the fact that Mu Yue'er was going to marry a waste.
Just when a few people were talking, Mu Xiao, who was dressed in plain clothes, also walked into the lobby, and in an instant, everyone's eyes fell on him, this is today's protagonist.
Mu Xiao also saw Mu Feng and the others, looking at the other party's not so friendly eyes, Mu Xiao also smiled helplessly, shook his head lightly and walked to the front of the lobby.
The man sitting at the top of the lobby with a loving smile on his face was none other than Mu Beichen, the head of the Mu family.
On both sides of Mu Beichen sat Mu Xiao's eldest uncle Mu Beiye and second uncle Mu Beixing, these two were biological brothers with Mu Beichen and Mu Xiao's father Mu Beiluo, but there was no expression on their faces, and they didn't know what they were thinking.
Looking at the three people above, Mu Xiao thought about how good it would be if his father was here, but this matter was just a luxury for himself.
Although Mu Xiao's father has not been by his side since he was a child, the love that this fourth uncle gives him is no less than what a father can give.
Mu Xiao bowed to the top of the lobby and said, "Xiao'er greets the head of the family, the uncle, and the second uncle." ”
Mu Beiye and Mu Beixing nodded, and said lightly, not too cold, but also not enthusiastic.
Looking at the reactions of the two, Mu Xiao was already used to it.
Mu Beichen didn't know what to say to these two brothers, for so many years, since Mu Xiao was defined as a waste, the attitude of the two towards Mu Xiao was lukewarm.
"Xiao'er, today is your important day, sit down and rest first, and when the time comes, you can start. ”
Listening to Mu Beichen's kind voice, Mu Xiao also has some warmth in his heart, no matter what he looks like, the fourth uncle's love for him has never changed, Mu Xiao is a person with clear grievances, and he has always remembered the kindness of the fourth uncle to him.
Sitting on the side, Mu Xiao closed his eyes and recuperated, but he had been making some plans in his heart. The fourth uncle has long respected him as a father in his heart, Mu Yue'er is the only daughter of the fourth uncle, if he can't give the other party happiness, he will be together so reluctantly, is it really good.
Mu Xiao is not a person who likes to force himself, and he is not a person who likes to force others, if Mu Yue'er is really unwilling to marry him, Mu Xiao will not have any demands, he would rather bear all the consequences himself, and he does not want the fourth uncle to have any difficulties in this matter.
After all, after so many years, Mu Xiao's attitude, Mu Xiao also knows in his heart, if the fourth uncle uses strength to let Mu Yue'er marry him, this is not what Mu Xiao wants, and it is not what Mu Xiao wants.
Just when Mu Xiao was thinking about these things, Mu Yue'er also followed her mother Liu Qian to the lobby, whether it was Mu Yue'er or Liu Qian, their faces were full of unhappiness, if Mu Xiao's cultivation talent was average, with Mu Beichen's cultivation in the future, his strength would not be bad, but this Mu Xiao was a waste who could not cultivate at all, which made Liu Qian feel at ease to marry her baby daughter.
For this matter, Liu Qian didn't know how many times she quarreled with Mu Beichen, but each time it ended with Mu Beichen's strength.
After Liu Qian sat down, she looked at Mu Xiao coldly, her eyes were full of warnings, hoping that Mu Xiao would be self-aware, while Mu Yue'er didn't even look at Mu Xiao, just looked outside the lobby, as if she was expecting something.
Looking at the situation of the two of them, Mu Xiao still didn't understand, he didn't want the three words to be written on his face clearly, and he smiled bitterly in his heart, just thinking that he hoped that the two would not regret it in the future.
Counting that the time was almost up, Mu Xiao stood up and planned to petition Mu Beichen, hoping to cancel this marriage contract, he was really not worthy of Sister Yue'er, I believe that Sister Yue'er would definitely be able to find a more suitable Ruyi Langjun than herself, and she really didn't want to delay Sister Yue'er's good years.
This set of rhetoric is also considered by Mu Xiao, but I just hope that in this matter, I will not let the fourth uncle lose face.
Mu Xiao had just stood up and was about to salute when he heard Gu Yanliang's voice outside the lobby, "The fourth elder of the Lei family, Lei Chang, is here. ”
Ray is always there?
Hearing the arrival of this person, everyone was a little puzzled in their hearts, how could he suddenly come today.
In Qinzhou City, if you talk about a powerful family, this Lei family can definitely be ranked first, just the two masters of the foundation building realm in the family are enough to crush many other families.
But on weekdays, the Mu family and the Lei family do not have much intersection, let alone festivals, and there is no conflict between the two businesses, the Mu family is mainly engaged in the restaurant business in Qinzhou City, and the Lei family is a more profitable business such as Fang Market and medicinal materials, if you want to say that the Lei family will take a fancy to the Mu family's restaurant business, Mu Beichen himself will not believe it.
But today's engagement ceremony is a family affair of the Mu family, and no one from other families is invited, so this sudden visit of Lei Chang is really incomprehensible.
Mu Beichen had doubts in his heart, but after all, the other party had already come, and as the master, he always had his own demeanor, so he invited Lei Changzai to the lobby.
Others didn't notice it, but Mu Xiao did, just when Gu Yanliang just announced the arrival of the Lei family, a burst of surprise flashed in Mu Yue'er's eyes, it could be that the arrival of the Lei family was related to Mu Yue'er.
After a while, Lei Changzai walked into the lobby of the Mu family with several members of the Lei family.
"Lei Chang has seen the head of the Mu family. ”
Lei Chang said casually, without much respect or any salutation in his words, just an arrogant smile on his face from beginning to end.
This Lei Chang's attitude made everyone in the Mu family look cold, what kind of person is this, it is clear that they did not take their Mu family in their eyes, although the power of the Mu family is not as good as the Lei family, but after all, the person above is the head of the Mu family, and it is also the strength of the foundation building realm, you are just an elder of the Lei family, and the strength is only nine levels of the refinement realm, so you don't give the face of the head of the Mu family.
Not only others, but Mu Xiao also frowned, the Lei Chang in front of him was obviously not good.
Although Mu Beichen said that he was unhappy in his heart, after all, the other party was a guest, and he was also a member of the Lei family, so Mu Beichen had to suppress this displeasure in his heart and said, "Elder Lei is here, and I am not welcome, but today is the engagement ceremony of my beloved daughter, please wait for a while if there is anything." ”
Seeing that the auspicious time is coming, even if you are the elder of the Lei family, you will not want to make trouble in public, but I didn't expect Lei Chang to say the next thing, Mu Beichen understood that he was really here to make trouble today.
"Master Mu, I think your engagement ceremony has been canceled. ”
