Accompany me on stage

  Dinner in a big house is always very particular.

  I thought it was a luxurious ingredient, but found that they were all small dishes and clear porridge, with almost no oil.

  It's okay, it's okay. If the table was full of big fish and meat, Qin Xiao wouldn't eat anyway. She had developed a habit of not eating dinner since high school. Bai Ze Hua always lectured her about this, telling her to just eat a little bit, speaking in a gentle tone as if coaxing a spoiled child.

  As for Mu Chenhui, the meal is ready, just put it on the table, you can eat or not.

  After having a job, she started eating dinner. She works all day like fighting with people all day, every afternoon after work is starving to death, too physically demanding.

  But thinking about it, nowadays people pay attention to health preservation, let alone these wealthy families. It's better to eat a light dinner. There are many women in the mansion, each with a well-maintained figure, and they must be particular about their diet.

  "Still with the taste for dinner?" Wen Yun smiled and gave Qin Xiao a piece of broccoli.

  "Thank you, Auntie. Dinner was great."

  The whole table was originally silent, and the atmosphere was a bit quiet. Wen Yun broke the silence and spoke like a hostess. In fact, it had been obvious for a long time that Wen Yun's position in the Mu family was second only to Mu Zhen's. According to Mu Chenhui, even Old Man Mu didn't dare say anything to her. But Xu Xiating was different, being disliked by everyone every day.

  Mr. Mu continued eating silently, without saying a word, exuding an aura of dignity and authority.

  The brief conversation ended and the table fell silent once again.

  Mo Chenzhe put down his chopsticks: "I've finished eating, I have some things to attend to and will head back first. You all eat slowly." Then he stood up, bidding farewell to the old man: "Goodbye, Grandfather."

  "Isn't Chen Zhe staying here tonight?" Xu Xiating seemed to have endured for a long time before finally speaking up.

  "No, Aunt Xǔ. I'll leave first, you stay here and keep Dad company." Mù Chénzhé deliberately emphasized the latter half of the sentence, which sounded full of sarcasm.

  Mu Chen Zhe's father Mu Zhao's face sank: "Mu Chen Zhe, you're staying here today."

  Mo Chenzhe said a sentence that won't disturb you and Auntie Xu. Then he added another sentence, and everyone present changed their faces.

  "It's been a long time since I've spent time with my mom."

  Ms. Xu Xiating's face was no longer presentable, and Mr. Mu Zhao became even angrier, just about to scold her when he was interrupted by the old man:

  "That's enough. Behave yourself during meals, especially in front of outsiders. Mu Zhao, handle your own affairs properly. Chen Zhe, you go first."

  "Outsider?" Qin Xiao understood in his heart, it was referring to himself. It turned out that this household had deep waters, and each of the unfortunate people had their own misfortunes. He could see things clearly now. It seemed that Mu Zhao and Mu Chen Zhe's mother had divorced, and then remarried Xu Xi Ting. And this woman wasn't likable, Mu Chen Zhe especially rejected her. Because of this, he also fell out with his father. The father and son looked at each other with disgust.

  I think Mu Chenzhe's mother must be a great beauty, just look at her eyebrows and eyes. She must be much prettier than Xu Xiating, who is so rustic and can't hold a candle to her.

  Mo Chenzhe smiled and said: "Thank you, Grandpa, I'm leaving."

  The servant handed over his coat, and Mu Chenzhe put it on and added a sentence: "I hope that Chenhui and Qinxiao will stay here smoothly."

  "Thank you." Qin Xiao responded politely.

  "I hope so." Mu Chenying replied casually.

  A noisy child at the dinner table doesn't matter much and is probably a common occurrence; everyone seems to be used to it.

  Wen Yun ate on the side, not affected by this commotion at all. Her every move showed that she was a woman from a noble family, with good upbringing, noble temperament and an attitude of being unruffled by changes.

  Mu Chenzhe left, and Old Master also put down his bowl and chopsticks, letting the servant push him back to his room.

  Then I remembered something: "Why hasn't Mu Ye come back?"

  "He has something on tonight and can't get away." Wen Yun added a sentence.

  Old Man Mu understood: "What can a person who is about to retire do? He's gone crazy, his own daughter-in-law doesn't even come back to visit him." Then he was pushed back into the house.

  "Mu Ye is my dad." Mu Chen Yun whispered an explanation in Qin Xiao's ear.

  This afternoon, Wen Yun received a call from her husband, saying that he didn't want to go home and didn't want to see that woman. He was afraid that if he saw her, he would get angry again and have another high blood pressure episode, which wouldn't be worth it.

  Wen Yun heard this and burst out laughing, teasing Mu Ye for a while.

  That woman, of course, refers to Qin Xiao.

  "I've actually seen it before, but it seems like I'm not worthy of others' attention." Qin Xiao muttered to himself.

  The reason why Mu Ye didn't come back is because he doesn't want to see Qin Xiao, I reckon everyone's heart is clear about it.

  "Alright, you two stay here for a few days first. In a few days if you want to move out, I'll tell Old Master. I'm going upstairs now." Wen Yun got up and left, leaving Mu Chenhui and Qin Xiao behind.

  The man finally left, and Qin Xiao let out a sigh of relief.

  "You'll get used to it. When I lived at home, it was even more annoying than this." Mu Chenhui looked at Qin Xiao, who seemed relieved, and kindly reminded him.

  "Ah. I'm looking forward to us leaving soon." Qin Xiao didn't say a word to Mu Chenhui tonight, but for some reason, she now wants to talk to him more.

  "Stay here for a while and find an appropriate time to reveal your identity. Then we can leave." Mu Chenhui didn't want to stay here either, he didn't want to a few years ago, and he still doesn't want to now.

  Qin Xiao looked at Mu Chenyuan: "However, I hope that when we move away, I will have gained another identity, such as the chairman's wife."

  Mu Chenhui still had a straight face: "Is that identity important? If you go find Bai Zehua, you'll get it right away."

  "Of course it's Mrs. Mu. To be honest, I think Bai Ze can't keep the family business going. And you'll definitely be able to do it."

  "When the time comes, you might just be abandoned by me."

  "Don't say that, I believe you can do it. However, at that time, you should give me every penny I deserve. And then I'll become a single noblewoman with a particularly high net worth, even more sought after." Qin Xiao's tone was repeatedly abandoned as a joyful event: "In order to arrive at that day earlier, and for you to get rid of my entanglement earlier, you must work hard. If there's anything you need help with, just say so."

  Mu Chenhui turned his head and stared at Qin Xiao's eyes.

  After a while, Qin Xiao was about to ask him what he wanted to do, but Mu Chenhui used his index finger and thumb to gently tap her chin: "Xiao Xiao, accompany me in acting out a play."
