Mu Liang and Mu Feng couldn't be tricked by their youngest brother. They were never merciful when Mu Chen was acting all spoiled.
It was proved in the dinner time. Mu Cheng, Jung Sheng, Mu Liang, Mu Feng, Mu Lan, Qi Ying, Xue Lin, Yan Su and Mu Chen sat together to have meal.
Everyone was eating in silence. Even blabbermouth Yan Su was silent. After all beside her was sitting Mu Chen.
Mu Chen was sulking as he saw Mu Liang and Mu Feng sat beside their female partners and no one looked at him.
In the end, Mu Cheng spoke first. "Yesterday was a glorious day. Mu Corporation really owes a lot to Xiao Lan. Now that you have become a partner in business, if you want, you can sell your ideas. Mu Corporation will help you."
Mu Lan smiled. "I must say that the employees are very hard working. If it weren't for them, we couldn't finish everything in one night."
Jing Sheng said, "You are too modest. Sometimes giving yourself some credit won't hurt you. It will give you more confidence in yourself."
"She is always confident. She doesn't need more." Xue Lin replied. "Being too confident makes people do wrong things."
"Xiao Lan is wise. She will always take the right path." Mu Liang said. He peeled a bowl of shrimps and gave the bowl to Mu Lan. "Here, for you."
The whole day he tormented her with his whole heart. They even skipped the lunch. While Mu Lan was worried about his wound, he ravishingly eaten her thoroughly. He didn't stopped till she passed out and he bled again. In the end, Mu Liang had to call for the medical team to take care of him.
Now, Mu Liang thought that she looked pale because of her fatigue for two nights of works. After seLLing the products, she had to take care of the business as she sighed some document to become partners with Mu Corporation and read the reports all night. And today, she was taking a break and he took away all her energy. So he was being extra caring.
"First brother, I want some shrimps too." Mu Chen couldn't take it anymore. He had been listening to all the things they were saying about this 'chick'. He still had doubt about where that ugly grandmother and his irresponsible father went. His brothers were too busy with their female partners. Now the whole family was neglecting him.
"There are plenty of them in the bowl. Take them by yourself." Mu Liang coldly replied.
His coldness was his usual behavior. Thus Mu Chen didn't flinch. He said, "I only want the shrimps which only first brother will peel for me."
"Chen, how can you say such embarrassing thing?" Mu Feng couldn't help but say. He put a braised pork on Qi Ying's bowl.
Mu Chen's face turned ugly. "But these chicks are asking for it. But why can't I?" He pointed out Mu Lan and Qi Ying.
The dining room suddenly turned silent once again.
Mu Feng gritted his teeth and said, "I dare you to call them chicks again." His voice was low.
Mu Liang's eyes were also cold. "Your attitude is worse than a woman. Looks like you need to be taught how to be a proper man, or you will bring shame to our family."
Mu Chen said, "I won't eat anymore. I wills starve to death. Before death I will write a suicide note and send it to police. The police will take this women away and will lock them up."
Mu Cheng lost his temper. "Enough! Who do you think you are acting all high and mighty? Where were you when I was sick? Where were you when the company was going down? You couldn't spend a single penny and you want to harm those who saved us! Unforgivable!"
Mu Chen already succeeded annoying the men, so he became quiet. He contently had his meal.
Mu Cheng calmed down and looked at the tiny woman who was eating as if she was hungry for two days. He couldn't blame her. The cook in the castle had top rated culinary skills. "You are Xiao Lin. This is the first time we have met. I heard of your achievements. I can see your future is bright."
Xue Lin looked at him and said, "Thank you."
She still had no clue how she should address him. So she skipped that part. After coming in the castle, this is the first time she had meals with elders. As everyone was busy, she wasn't able to greet anyone.
Mu Cheng said, "I heard you helped lots of people before."
"I did it because the offers were good." Xue Lin bluntly said.
Indeed. She sold her friends for tea and citizenship.
Mu Cheng nodded. "Very well, I can offer your good deals too. Can you please take care of my youngest grandson?"
"Say what?" Mu Chen was startled. He looked at the tiny woman in disdain.
Mu Lan and Mu Liang had an idea that it was going to happen. That's why, he asked her to bring Xue Lin at dining room.
Xue Lin didn't blink before saying, "I won't help someone who is uglier than me."
Pffft!
Yan Su and Mu Feng had a hard time holding back their laughter.
Mu Chen lost his words. He looked at Xue Lin with a blank expression before bursting into anger. "Ugly? Who? Me? Are you blind? It looks like you need a more powerful glasses, you poor girl!"
Xue Lin didn't mind his curse because she knew that she was poor. To her, what he said was logical. She said nothing in reply.
"Rascal! How can you talk like that to a guest?" Mu Cheng almost stood up.
Jing Sheng and the Head Butler Noel hurriedly came forward.
"Father, your blood pressure!" Jing Sheng panicked.
Noel said, "Elder master, please calm down!"
Qi Ying tugged Mu Feng's sleeves. She whispered, "It's going to be a long night if this continues. Why don't get up first? Then others will finish their meals soon."
"What's the hurry? Let's enjoy the show." Mu Feng whispered as well.
