Chapter 84: A Young Man Doesn't Know His Sorrows (26)
Mu Beiting didn't want to show his face, but he was helplessly pushed to the front of the stage by Mu Chaofu at this time, and he was exposed to everyone's eyes, so he had to hug his fist.
Mu Cheng on the side was stunned, and it took him a while to come back to his senses, and he opened his mouth and asked, "Grandpa has only known him for a day, how did he become a sworn brother?"
When everyone heard Mu Cheng's question, there was an uproar for a while, and their eyes were focused on Mu Beiting, and they discussed, some people whispered to others about Mu Beiting's origin, and some people pretended to be clever and fabricated Mu Beiting's identity.
In the face of everyone's mixed speculation, Mu Chaofu laughed and relieved his doubts: "Brother Mu and I have similar temperaments and temperaments, which is a rare fate. Please also ask your friends to think to themselves, in your life, have you ever met someone who is familiar with you at first sight, and will you meet a friend who hates to see each other late?"
This is reasonable, and most of the people in the audience have begun to nod their heads in agreement, after all, such experiences are not uncommon, and everyone has encountered them to a greater or lesser extent. Just thinking about it like this, everyone no longer felt that this matter was abrupt and unusual, and turned to congratulate Mu Chaofu and Mu Beiting.
Mu Chaofu was in a good mood, looked around with his fists in his fists, and said with a smile: "Don't stop here and miss the time, the banquet in the north hall has begun, and please go to the table quickly." After speaking, he gestured to Feng Yishan behind him.
Feng Yishan took a step forward and politely led everyone towards the banquet hall, and after only a few moments, the crowd had already left, and only Mu Chaofu, Mu Beiting, Mu Cheng, Meng Yue and a group of guards were left in the field.
Mu Chaofu looked at Mu Cheng and ordered, "Come and see your Mu Ye..."
Mu Beiting didn't wait for Mu Chaofu to finish speaking, and interrupted: "If Young Master Mu doesn't give up, just call me uncle." β
Mu Chaofu thought for a while and said to Mu Cheng: "That's fine, let's call Uncle Mu." β
Although Mu Cheng was extremely reluctant in his heart, he was forced to have no choice but to obediently shout "Uncle Mu".
Mu Chaofu looked at his grandson, his face suddenly changed, and he admonished: "You are not allowed to hold grudges against today's affairs, and you must also be respectful when you see your Uncle Mu and Brother Mu Xun in the future, remember not to be rude, have you written it down?"
Mu Cheng lowered his head and responded, "Grandson knows." β
Mu Chaofu bowed his head and said, "Very good, then you go down first." β
After Mu Cheng led Meng Yue and the guards to retreat, Mu Chaofu suddenly shook his head and sighed: "My grandson is also spoiled by me, and he relies on me on weekdays, and he can't help but act arrogantly, and it seems that he will have to discipline him strictly in the future." β
Mu Beiting nodded in agreement, and secretly thought in his heart: "I didn't spoil Mu Xun too much, so that he developed an arrogant temperament..."
Mu Chaofu saw that Mu Beiting was thoughtful, and was silent for a long time, knowing that he must be thinking about Mu Xun, so he persuaded: "Accumulating habits and cultivating them is not a day's work, and if you want to transform it, it is not a day's work." You and I are both responsible for negligence in their nature, and we should try to correct them, but there is no need to rush this matter, let's take our time!"
Mu Beiting nodded and said: "What the eldest brother said is extremely true, but Mu Xun is paranoid, which really reassures me, I want to find him first..."
Mu Chaofu waved his hand and interrupted: "He is angry at this time, I'm afraid he won't let you find it easily, even if you find it, it's just a quarrel." It's better to wait later, when everyone is calm, and then sit down and talk. β
Mu Beiting thought about it, felt that this was reasonable, and responded: "It's all about it." β
Mu Chaofu reached out and patted his arm, and said, "Let's go to the banquet hall first, everyone is still waiting for us to start the banquet." β
Mu Beiting answered, stepped forward and pushed Mu Chaofu's wheelchair down, and walked slowly in the direction of the banquet hall.
On the other side, after Mu Xun angrily walked out of the gate of Mufu, he ran aimlessly for a while, and only stopped after arriving at an uninhabited alley. At this time, Xu Che, who was following him closely, finally came to him out of breath, and then bent down and reached out to hold his knees, and asked breathlessly, "You... Where are you going?"
Mu Xun glared at Xu Che viciously and said, "What are you doing with me?"
Xu Che's body stagnated, and there was a cramp in his heart, and after a while, he shook his head with a wry smile and said, "What's the matter, how can I care?"
Mu Xun snorted coldly and said, "This is also true, but it seems that she is a person who tends to be inflammatory, and it is not worth your emotions to spend on her." β
Xu Che straightened up suddenly, glared at Mu Xun angrily with his eyes, and said dissatisfiedly: "She's not inflammatory, she's not like this on weekdays!"
Mu Xun sneered: "Then what kind of person is she? You have seen it with your own eyes, don't you still want to believe it? If she treats you sincerely, how can she flirt with that rich boy?"
Xu Che snorted: "She... She may have been confused for a moment... After a while... Hmm..."I didn't know what to say.
Mu Xun said impatiently: "You are really a fool's dream... Forget it, don't talk about it anymore, don't follow me anymore, go back by yourself. With that, he strode away.
Xu Che was still standing in place thinking about his thoughts, and muttered to himself: "No, she is just confused for a while..."
Meng Yue trotted all the way to Xu Che's side, and after taking a few breaths, she asked, "Were you injured before?"
Xu Che saw that she was full of care at the moment, and there was no hypocrisy, and her emotions couldn't help but get excited again, and she shouted in her heart: "She came to me, she still cares about me!" You've been following me?"
Meng Yue nodded, then shook her head again, and said, "I'm worried about your injuries, and I've been looking for passers-by all the way to find you... But are you really not hurt?"
Xu Che felt tenderness in his heart, and unconsciously pulled Meng Yue's hands and asked urgently: "What you said to me in the Mu Mansion before was forced to say it because of the situation at that time, right?"
Meng Yue withdrew her hands suddenly, lowered her head, and hesitated for a moment before slowly saying, "Brother Che, you are a good person, and you have always treated me well, but... It's just..."
Xu Che asked, "Just what?
Meng Yue raised her head and choked with tears: "I like you, but you can't give me a worry-free life." I have been dependent on my grandfather since I was a child, and I have long tasted all kinds of sufferings in this world, but I don't want to be like this for the rest of my life, and now Mu Gongzi is willing to give me a name and can also give me a rich life, so... So I went with him, even if I didn't like him in my heart..."
Xu Che's heart suddenly turned to ashes, he was cold and sweaty, he staggered back two steps, and almost couldn't stand, and after a while, he suddenly burst out laughing, the laughter was sad and sad, and Meng Yue's heart was broken and trembling when he heard it.
Xu Che laughed, coughed violently again, and only after calming down a little, did he say astringently: "You know my family background, compared with the Mu family's son, it is indeed a world of difference, but I have never discarded my backbone and dignity because of my poor family background, let alone disobey my own wishes!
Meng Yue blushed and cried: "I'm just a woman, I can't be a big husband, and I don't want any backbone and dignity, all I want is a stable environment, a life without worrying about food and clothing, I don't want to live a life of exile anymore!"
Xu Che gradually fell silent, and after a long while, he let out a long sigh and said: "It's me who is wrong, I shouldn't treat others as myself, and I can't give you the days you want, you can go and pursue the life you yearn for." β
Meng Yue wiped her tears, took out a purse from the embroidered bag around her waist and handed it to Xu Che, saying, "You and I both know how difficult life is, just ask you not to complain about me and hate me." There is some silver here, you take it, it is all my filial piety to my uncle, I hope you will not refuse. β
Xu Che glanced at Meng Yue deeply, and said solemnly: "A gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way. You can keep this money, if you find that you are entrusted to someone in the future, then all you can rely on in the future is this silver. With that, he turned around and walked forward without looking back. And Meng Yue looked at his departing back, couldn't help crying bitterly, and slowly squatted down.
Xu Che heard the cry behind him, only to feel that his heart was like a knife, and he unconsciously slowed down the pace of leaving, several times he wanted to turn around and hug her into his arms, but he finally held back this thought, gritted his teeth and walked forward quickly, just waiting for the corner at the end of the alley, he couldn't hold it anymore, and suddenly leaned against the wall, the next moment, the tears in his eyes burst out of his eyes, and slipped wantonly, the irrepressible pain that was entrenched in his heart also broke out at this moment, and the whole person seemed to be drained of all the strength around him, his feet were soft, and he immediately sat down on the groundγ
