Chapter 57: Two Senior Sisters
On Grandpa's birthday, there were many people who came, all of whom were people with status and status in the capital.
I started to be busy with Wang Lan early in the morning, and I went to work whatever Wang Lan pointed to.
"Wait a minute, your relatives will be arranged over there, you should watch them a little bit and don't disturb the guests. "Towards noon, my mother-in-law pointed to a small round table on the left side of the hall and commanded me.
Is my mother-in-law worried that our relatives will disgrace the Xi family?
I pursed my lips and nodded faintly.
"Greet the guests well, don't put on a resentful face every day, as if our Xi family treats you badly. "My mother-in-law seemed very dissatisfied with my expression today, and couldn't help but be unhappy with me.
I rubbed my stiff face and nodded my head.
My mother-in-law went to greet the broad ladies, and I stood at the gate, smiling at every guest who entered.
It wasn't until Xi Mushen and Fang Tong came in together that I stiffened for a moment, and in my mind, I remembered the scene of that night, when he even said to me, don't leave me.
So clear, yet so far away.
"Mrs. Xi, isn't this very welcoming to me?" Fang Tong didn't know when, came to me, and couldn't help but laugh when he saw me in a daze.
I heard what she said, so I restrained the emotions in my heart and said with a cold face, "Even if you don't welcome it, won't you come too?"
Fang Tong glanced at me, raised his chin slightly, didn't know if it was intentional, hugged Xi Mushen's arm beside him and said coquettishly: "Mu Shen, I want to eat cake." ”
"Hmm. Xi Mushen nodded in a deep voice, and walked into the door with Fang Tong in his arms, but when he walked in front of me, he suddenly stopped.
I was puzzled, but I didn't look up, and Fang Tong's somewhat puzzled voice came from above my head: "Mu Shen, what's wrong with you." ”
"Hair, not combed well. Just as my heart was beating like thunder, Xi Mushen's slender fingers pinned the strands of hair that were scattered on my cheeks to the back of my head.
After the slightly cool temperature left, I looked up in a trance, looking at Xi Mushen's cold and domineering back, in an indifferent daze.
At half past twelve o'clock at noon, during the meal, Mr. Xi was very happy, Xi Mushen and I were in front of people, and we still had to pretend to be husband and wife, at least, in front of Mr. Xi.
Xi Mushen walked in front of me, staring at me with a calm gaze, I got up at a loss, Xi Mushen motioned for me to hold his arm, and I stepped forward to toast to Old Man Xi with Xi Mushen.
Old Man Xi drank a little wine today, took my hand with a spring on his face and said, "Qingling, you are a good boy, you must give birth to a little great-grandson for me this year, you know?"
I glanced sideways at Xi Mushen, and saw that he had no expression, and I was lonely in my heart, but I said with shyness on my face: "Okay." ”
"Good boy, good boy. "After all, Old Man Xi's physical strength is limited, and he will soon be tired, and we don't dare to bother him, so we let Old Man Xi go upstairs to rest.
"Let's go, let's go to the next table. "When I was still looking at Old Man Xi's back in a daze, Xi Mushen had already led me to the next table.
I looked at the hands that I and Xi Mushen were clasping together, and I couldn't help but sigh of gratitude.
Even if it's just a few seconds, it's very rare for me, and such a thing will never happen again.
"Oh my God...... My ring is missing. Just then, a noble lady suddenly let out a scream.
Her voice was so loud that everyone present looked at her.
Xi Mushen and I are no exception. g
"Butler, check out right away who took Mrs. Li's ring. The mother-in-law's face was also a little ugly, and she immediately looked at the housekeeper and asked the housekeeper to check it.
I glanced at the guests around me, but found that Mu Chen was secretly walking in the direction of the gate, looking at his sneaky appearance, I felt uneasy in my heart.
Mrs. Li's sharp voice came, and she pointed at Mu Chen, "It's him, when I put the ring, it was him next to him, and my ring is worth 20 million!"
I nervously grabbed Xi Mushen's hand, and Xi Mushen looked at me coldly.
I was startled, blushing and letting go, but I was firmly held by Xi Mushen.
"Bring him to me. Over there, he ordered to the housekeeper and a few bodyguards, since Xi Mushen had an accident last time, her mother-in-law has spent a lot more money on the bodyguards, all five big and three thick.
Mu Chen was quickly arrested.
"What are you doing?Do you know who I am?I'm your president's brother-in-law, have you eaten the bear's heart and leopard's gall?" Mu Chen shouted.
I looked at Mu Chen's arrogant roar, ashamed.
I never thought that my younger brother, who was not an instrument, would dare to steal the guests' things at the banquet of the Xi family?
"Scour him up. The mother-in-law looked at Mu Chen coldly and ordered to the housekeeper.
As soon as the butler waved his hand, two bodyguards stepped forward and quickly found the expensive gemstone ring on Mu Chen's body.
After Mrs. Li saw the ring, she said to her mother-in-law with a disgusted face, "Mrs. Xi, you still have to take good care of those relatives who are not in the stream, some relatives, don't forget it, relatives with such unclean hands and feet can't be kept." ”
I was speechless, I only hated my brother for not being angry.
After my mother-in-law glanced at me angrily, she immediately said to Mrs. Li: "Mrs. Li, don't worry, I will definitely give you an explanation for this matter." ”
"Mu Qingling, your brother has done such a shameless thing, what should I do, you have no opinion, right?"
I pursed my lips and said, "Mom, I have no opinion." ”
"Mu Qingling, what are you talking about? I am your own brother, you dare to treat me like this. Mu Chen got up from the ground, his delicate face distorted and deformed.
I angrily rebuked, "If you do something wrong, you have to bear it." ”
"He was sent to the police station, and the human and material evidence was there. The mother-in-law glanced at Mu Chen coldly, and a trace of disgust flashed in her eyes.
"Mother-in-law, how can this be, our Mu Chen is wrong, and we will never do it again. Mom stepped out of the crowd and bowed to her mother-in-law.
I looked at my mother and said, "Mom, you indulge him too much, not to love him, but to harm him." ”
"Mu Chen is your own brother, you don't help as a sister, and you still talk cool here, do you also look down on our family?
Listening to my mother's shrill voice, I suddenly felt tired.
In the end, the matter was handled according to my mother-in-law, because I didn't have the face to beg Xi Mushen at all!
After the matter was dealt with, my mother-in-law walked up to me and said sharply to me, "Mu Qingling, what else can your family do besides causing trouble to Mu Shen?"
Fang Tong stood not far away, looking at me with a smile, meaningful.
I suddenly understood something, and walked towards her, "Did you do it?"
Fang Tong shrugged lazily and whispered in my ear, "I'm just helping you, so that I can use it as an excuse to mention the divorce to my grandfather once." Grandpa will know all these bad things just now. ”
