"Don't tell her yet." Mr. Mu said immediately and glanced at Cai Xiufen next to him. He also wanted to have a peaceful lunch.
"Yes." The housekeeper knew what the old man meant.
Cai Xiufen on the side raised her lips proudly, her efforts during this period were still effective.
During this time, many guests came to the house. As the hostess of the Mu family, she entertained every guest generously and decently, and left a lot of good reputation.
So Mr. Mu also looked at her with admiration.
Now it is obviously biased towards myself...
"Is lunch ready?" Mr. Mu asked, intending to leave Zhang Yali aside and talk about it after dinner.
"The cook has prepared all the vegetarian dishes according to your instructions. You can have lunch now," the butler said.
"Inform the kitchen to start dinner." Mr. Mu walked into the dining room with his cane.
"Yes." The butler quickly walked into the kitchen.
Mu Tianyu on the side heard that they were eating vegetarian dishes and shook Du Ruirui's hand, "Mom, I want to eat meat."
Du Ruirui knew Mu Tianyu's eating habits, so she knelt down and looked at her levelly and said, "Hey, my family is all vegetarian today. Be patient, and tomorrow we will have meat."
"Ah, don't you have to eat vegetarian food at night?" Mu Tianyu's brows furrowed even deeper, she didn't want to eat vegetarian food every day.
"It was always like this before." Du Ruirui looked at her daughter with doubts in her heart. It had been like this every year before, but Mu Tianyu didn't have so many opinions.
Why are you so resistant now?
Even on the fasting days specified by the Mu family, she did not dare to take her daughter out to open a small stove. The child's words were not strict, and it was easy for the elders in the family to find out.
When the time comes, a scolding is inevitable.
Seeing Mu Tianyu looking like he was about to cry, Du Ruirui sighed in her heart, children really look the same every year.
In the past, as long as the food was delicious, Mu Tianyu could eat anything, even without meat.
It’s different now, and I’m clamoring to eat meat.
"Good boy, mommy will take you out to eat delicious food tomorrow." Du Ruirui was afraid that her daughter would cry. After all, the last thing Mr. Mu wanted to see was someone crying and making trouble at home during the Chinese New Year, so she hurriedly coaxed her.
Mu Tianyu thought for a while and reluctantly agreed.
Du Ruirui took her daughter into the dining room.
Zhang Yali was catching up on her sleep upstairs and had no idea that Mr. Mu had come back, so the meal was very peaceful and peaceful.
After eating, Mr. Mu slowly used his cane and said to the housekeeper beside him: "Help me go to the study."
Cai Xiufen on the side wanted to watch a show. If Mr. Mu went to the study to see Zhang Yali, she would not be able to watch the show. She immediately said: "Dad, there is no need to go to the study. We are all our own people. If anything happens to Zhang Yali, just tell me
Wouldn’t it be better if you said no to the living room?”
Mr. Mu naturally saw what she was thinking, glared at her, and pointed it out directly, "Don't even think about causing trouble. I will control everyone today and no one is allowed to cause trouble."
Cai Xiufen pursed her lips coquettishly.
She still wants to watch a show. Zhang Yali's visit to Mr. Mu this time must have nothing to do with her. There is a high probability that it is Mu Shaoling's matter.
A mother and her son get into trouble. She never gets tired of watching this kind of drama.
"Mom, let's go, Tianyu is getting ready to take a nap." Murui Cheng said from the side, fearing that Cai Xiufen would be bold enough to go to the study to hear such words.
"You, as a father, can't watch over Tianyu while she takes a nap, why do you have to let me go?" Cai Xiufen looked at him dissatisfied.
She wanted to watch a show, he must know that.
He used Mu Tianyu as an excuse because he didn’t want her to watch the show!
Cai Xiufen was dissatisfied. Did Mu Ruicheng not figure out who was his biological mother?
Mr. Mu didn't intend to pay attention to Cai Xiufen, and went upstairs with the help of the housekeeper.
Cai Xiufen looked at the old man's leaving figure and glared at Murui Cheng, "You're not up to par, can't I see how embarrassed Zhang Yali is?"
Murui Cheng frowned and asked, "Mom, how did you know she was in a difficult situation?"
Cai Xiufen took a breath, rolled her eyes, and cursed: "Then Zhang Yali can risk everything to come back to find your grandfather. What will happen if she is not in an embarrassing situation? Maybe she can't even afford to eat now!"
Murui Cheng was still doubtful.
Will Zhang Yali be in an embarrassing situation?
Although her relationship with Mu Shaoling is very bad, Mu Shaoling will not ignore it, and he has also heard that Mu Shaoling will basically give Zhang Yali a large amount of living expenses every month, as long as he is not particularly wanton.
, enough for her to spend.
So, how did Cai Xiufen know that Zhang Yali was living in distress now?
In the study room.
After all, Cai Xiufen failed to come in. Mr. Mu sat on the executive chair, waiting for Zhang Yali.
"Knock knock." There was a knock on the door, and the butler's voice came immediately, "Old man, the second wife is here."
"Come in." Mr. Mu's voice was as powerful as a bell, full of aura.
Zhang Yali, who was standing at the door, heard the old man's voice, and her heart trembled inexplicably. She had a premonition that Mr. Mu would definitely criticize her for this matter...
She instantly regretted it.
But now, if she leaves, she will face hunger and cold...
Zhang Yali gritted her teeth and glanced at Cai Xiufen, who was standing far away in the corridor. Even from a distance, she could see the gloating on her face.
She opened the door and walked in.
Cai Xiufen leaned against the wall and said lazily, "Tsk, there's no show to watch."
The housekeeper looked towards her.
Cai Xiufen had no intention of leaving. Although they were far apart and the study was well soundproofed, she could hardly hear anything from this distance.
But she just wanted to see what would happen next, so she stood here.
In the study room.
Zhang Yali closed the door, took a deep breath, walked to the chair opposite Mr. Mu, sat down, and said hello, "Dad, happy New Year."
"If you have something to say," Mr. Mu urged ruthlessly. He had already learned everything from the servant's mouth about what happened between New Year's Eve and New Year's Day.
He believed that if it weren't for Zhang Yali's permission, a stranger would not dare to do such an outrageous move.
"Dad, I came to you because I really had no choice but to ask you to help me." Zhang Yali said, tears falling down.
Mr. Mu was indifferent to her tears and looked at her coldly, waiting for the key point.
Seeing that the old man had no intention of comforting her, Zhang Yali knew that this trick would not work, so she had to get to the point directly and tell her everything about being deceived.
"What are you thinking?" Mr. Mu asked. Zhang Yali, who has always been shrewd, was actually deceived one day.
And it’s all the money…
Zhang Yali was stunned, and she said: "Dad, I was just too impatient. If it weren't for Shao Ling...his relationship with me is so bad, I wouldn't even think about making money through investment."
