Chapter 798: Conflict (5)
Seeing that her reaction was completely different from before, Li Meng whispered, “Xiao Huan, are you really going to give up on Master Bo?”
“No. I’m just a little tired. I don’t want to focus on any of this anymore.” What was the point of worrying and feeling uneasy because of all this anxiety? It didn’t help anything. She might as well read more books and learn more.
Li Meng: “…”
After school in the afternoon, Mu Huan and Li Meng were stopped by two bodyguards in black on their way back to the dormitory.
“Ms. Mu, Old Master wants to see you.”
“What old man?” Mu Huan looked up.
The bodyguard in black was stunned, as if he did not expect her to ask such a question.
“Mr. Bo’s grandfather.”
“Oh.” Mu Huan looked at Li Meng. “Go back first. I’ll be back soon.”
“Okay.” Li Meng returned to the dormitory first.
Mu Huan was brought to a villa not far from Yun University by the men in black. When she entered, Old Master Meng was sitting on the sofa watching television. The news of yesterday’s global summit was playing on the television.
“Come, sit here and take a good look.” Old Master Meng patted the seat beside him for Mu Huan to take a look.
Without a word, Mu Huan walked over and sat down.
After she sat down, a maid came over with tea. When she placed the teacup on the coffee table next to Mu Huan, she accidentally spilled tea on Mu Huan. The other party hurriedly picked up a napkin and wanted to help Mu Huan wipe it, but Mu Huan did not let her wipe it. Instead, she took the napkin and wiped it herself.
After the maid bowed and apologized repeatedly, she left.
Mu Huan accompanied Old Master Meng as he watched the summit to see Bo Junyan and Ling Wei attend the banquet.
In the end, the image of Ling Wei holding Bo Junyan’s arm and the two of them smiling so beautifully was captured.
Mu Huan raised an eyebrow. She knew that the old man would not let go of such a good opportunity.
When she heard that all the major media outlets in the country were reporting that Bo Junyan and Ling Wei were getting married, she knew that the Old Master was behind this. Now, he even stopped the video here. Was he afraid that she would not know that he had manipulated the media?
“How did you feel when you saw the last scene?”
“I feel that you’re too boring, Grandpa. From the very beginning, you’ve been using such photos to attack me. In the middle, you used them again, and now, you’re using them again. Once, twice, thrice. You’re always using these photos that are taken from angles. This is very boring. I don’t even feel anything when I look at them.” This was how Mu Huan felt after looking through all these.
Old Master Meng: “…!!!”
“Shouldn’t you feel inferior and think that you’re not good enough for Junyan after seeing such news?”
Mu Huan lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes hiding her thoughts. “I don’t feel that way at all. I’m such a young and beautiful girl. She’s so old, so I don’t feel like I’ve lost out.”
“Shallow! Youth and appearance are only temporary! Only talent is eternal! Look at yourself compared to Ling Wei. How can you compare to her?”
“I think I can even compare to that.”
“Who gave you such confidence?”
“Born with it.”
Old Master Meng laughed in anger. “This is the first time I’ve seen someone like you in my life!”
Mu Huan did not say anything. If she were to criticize others, she would criticize them because she didn’t know them in person. However, he was an elder. Even if he did not treat her as family, he was still her husband’s family.
Old Master Meng felt that it was impossible to make her feel inferior, so he said, “Now that you know the importance of this project, don’t you think you should do something?”
