Chapter 517: Not Willing to Marry Bai Zhi
Mu's home.
Mu Chengxun and Mo Fangru set out snacks and tea in the courtyard for everyone to enjoy.
Song Siming and Li Haiyan, accompanied by Mu Chengxun, admired the crabapples in the courtyard.
Mu Jianhua supported Bai Zhi and walked slowly on the path paved with bluestone in the courtyard, explaining the varieties and colors of crabapples to Bai Zhi.
"This is a two-color weeping crabapple. The one facing the sun in the east is bright red, extremely gorgeous, and the one facing the moon in the west is pink, pretty and lovely."
Xiao Ke and Xiao Ai followed behind Mu Jianhua and Bai Zhi, watching Mu Jianhua and Bai Zhi chatting and laughing, feeling a little uncomfortable.
"This is a octagonal crabapple, as white as snow." When he came to a white crabapple, Mu Jianhua stopped and smiled at Xiao Ai, "The fruit of this crabapple is sour and sweet, especially delicious."
"Thank you, but I don't like sour and sweet fruits." Xiao Ai didn't like this seemingly kind uncle, and she disliked the crabapples in the yard.
"It turns out that Xiao Ai likes to eat sweet food. There is a crabapple in front of her that has very sweet fruit, and it has the effect of nourishing the stomach and spleen." Mu Jianhua seemed to be unable to sense Xiao Ai's hostility, and his voice was gentle, "When autumn comes, Uncle Mu will pick the fruit and send it to Xiao Ai to eat."
Even if she didn't like it, Xiao Ai lost her temper facing this smiling face.
"Control your emotions, don't show it no matter how much you don't like it." Xiao Ke whispered to Xiao Ai, "Don't forget the purpose of our visit."
"Understood." Xiao Ai instantly perked up and looked around like a little detective.
Mu Jianhua took Bai Zhi around the yard twice, introduced all kinds of crabapples, and then helped her sit at the stone table in the yard not far from Song Siming.
"Xiao Ke Xiao Ai, try this rose pastry." Mu Jianhua pushed the snack to Xiao Ke Xiao Ai, and poured tea for them.
"It is said that Longjing before the rain is the best, and Longjing before the Ming Dynasty is a treasure, but I can't taste any difference. Try it?" He took a cup and put it in Bai Zhi's hand.
"I don't understand the tea ceremony." Bai Zhi smiled, "No matter how good the tea is, it will be like a cow drinking it when it comes to me."
"I think it's a bit bitter." Xiao Ai took the teacup and took a sip, "I still prefer juice, but this rose pastry is really delicious, with the taste of roses."
"It's made with Yunnan edible roses. Xiao Ai likes it. I'll make more for you next time." Mu Jianhua said, and hurriedly ordered the servants to squeeze the juice.
"People say that rose pastry with Longjing tea is the most delicious food in the world, but I think they are all wrong. It should be rose pastry with juice, so our Xiaoai knows food the best."
"..."
Faced with Mu Jianhua's seamless flattery, Xiaoai was speechless for a while.
Baizhi understood in her heart, and smiled as she picked up the teacup to drink tea.
Sweet in the throat, it is indeed a good tea.
"Brother, I...I want to go to the bathroom." Xiaoai pulled Xiaoke.
Mu Jianhua immediately ordered the servant to follow.
"No need, I will accompany my sister." Xiaoke knew that Xiaoai just wanted to find an excuse to talk to him, so he got up and accompanied Xiaoai.
Baizhi knew that the two little things must have gone to discuss a solution, smiled and shook her head, and continued to drink tea.
"What should I do, brother? This Uncle Mu looks very good. Will Mommy be moved by him?" Xiaoai was anxious.
This Mu Jianhua is much better at coaxing people than Daddy.
"No matter how good a person is, there will be times when he reveals his flaws." Xiaoke and Xiaoai just walked to the door, and a servant opened the door for them.
"Where is the bathroom?" Xiao Ke asked the servant politely.
"It's in front, near the stairwell." The servant wanted to take Xiao Ke and Xiao Ai there, but was rejected by Xiao Ke.
"Thank you, we can go by ourselves."
The servant watched Xiao Ke and Xiao Ai walk over hand in hand, and couldn't help but admire in his heart that children from wealthy families are different. Such a young baby can go to the bathroom by himself.
Think about the little bully in his family, who looks older than these two babies and needs his grandmother's help every time he goes to the bathroom.
After Xiao Ai used the bathroom, she came out and took Xiao Ke's hand and was about to leave, but she heard voices coming from the stairwell.
"No, Bai Zhi is a woman who has given birth to a child, how can she marry Jianhua?"
Xiao Ke and Xiao Ai looked at each other quickly, silently took two steps back, and squatted around the corner of the stairs.
"Bai Zhi is actually not bad, and as for the child, our Mu family can afford to raise it." Xiao Ke and Xiao Ai heard that it was Mu Chengxun and Mo Fangru talking.
"This is not a question of whether we can afford to raise a child! It's not a question of whether Bai Zhi is right or wrong!" Mo Fangru said angrily: "It's not like we can't find a girlfriend at Jianhua, so why should we marry a woman who has given birth to a child?
Besides, this Bai Zhi is in the entertainment industry, and she is notorious for all kinds of scandals. I won't agree to marry such a woman into the Mu family!"
"How can there be no scandals in the entertainment industry? Even in our business circle, there are often all kinds of news. In order to attract attention, reporters can write anything?" Mu Chengxun persuaded in a low voice.
"How can it be the same? What is the entertainment industry? Can there be clean things in it? Besides, we don't know if her eyes can be cured!" Mo Fangru couldn't help but raise her voice.
"Keep your voice down, Lao Song and the others are outside." Mu Chengxun was anxious and spoke faster, "Bai Zhi is Lao Song's daughter. No matter how dirty the entertainment industry is, Lao Song can let Bai Zhi get a little dirty? As for her eyes, with the strength of our two families, are you still worried that we can't cure her?"
"That won't work!" Mo Fangru said firmly, "No matter how close the Mu and Song families are, they can't wrong our Jianhua like this."
"Why are you so stubborn? Jianhua doesn't care about it, so why do you..."
The two people's voices gradually faded away, and Xiaoke and Xiaoai stood up, silently looking at the backs of Mu Chengxun and Mo Fangru.
"Brother, it seems that we have to act quickly." Xiaoai imagined how Mommy was bullied by the evil mother-in-law after marrying into the Mu family, and her nose was slightly sour, "We must not let that Uncle Mu succeed."
"Well. No matter who it is, we can't separate our family!" Xiaoke clenched his fists.
They didn't allow Lu Juefeng to marry a stepmother, nor did they want Bai Zhi to marry a stepfather.
Xiaoke and Xiaoai returned to the courtyard and sat quietly on the side watching Mu Jianhua and Bai Zhi chatting.
For some reason, Mu Jianhua always felt that after the two children went to the bathroom, they looked at him more and more unfriendly.
This unfriendly attitude continued until the dinner table.
"Xiao Ke, Xiao Ai, come and try the sea cucumber soup that Grandma Mo personally cooked." Although Mo Fangru didn't want Bai Zhi to become her daughter-in-law, she still had to do her best in front of the Song family.
"I'm sorry, Grandma Mo, I don't like the taste of sea cucumbers." Xiao Ai covered the bowl and refused Mo Fangru.
