Chapter 33 Returning to the Mu Family’s Old House

Her walk-in closet was filled with new summer items, purchased by her third brother and grandma.

Although the Mu family was a prominent and wealthy clan, with a large family business, each of the Mu children only received a monthly allowance of 50,000 yuan. Compared to other family children, this allowance wasn’t much.

However, after graduating from university, the Mu children would receive a certain amount of share dividends, which would be a considerable sum. Unfortunately, Chu Yunxi didn’t have a share of these dividends. Thinking about it made her angry. A flash of resentment and bitterness crossed her eyes, and she clenched her fists tightly.

She had grown up in the Mu family, so why did they all have shares except for her? Was it because she wasn’t a child of the Mu family? But over the years, she had done so much to win the favor of the Mu family. Didn’t they understand?

The Mu family’s eldest uncle, not to mention, his wife and he didn’t like her. Their attitude towards her was always lukewarm. But the old lady of the Mu family and the other uncles and aunts loved her dearly. Why couldn’t they give her some shares? She only had the allowance that the old lady gave her every month, but that small amount of money was nothing compared to the dividends.

Chu Yunxi felt that her efforts and rewards in the Mu family were completely disproportionate, and her sense of imbalance grew stronger. Thankfully, she had entered the entertainment industry, but she was still just a bit famous, and the money she earned, plus the allowance from the old lady, barely covered her daily expenses.

The more Chu Yunxi thought about it, the angrier she became. Her face darkened, but soon, she realized that she couldn’t let her emotions show. So, she forced herself to refocus her attention on the clothes.

Seeing everyone still discussing the clothes, she pretended to be surprised and said, “I already have many clothes. I don’t know which elder or brother bought me so many. I’m so touched. You’re all so good to me!”

Chu Yunxi said, her eyes welling up, trying to create an atmosphere of deep emotion. This immediately elicited a lot of comfort from Mu Jinghao and the others.

“Chu Yunxi, what are you saying? You’re our family, and you’re the only girl in our family. Girls are meant to be spoiled!”

“Yes, Sister Chu Yunxi, you don’t have to be so polite or touched. Everyone buying you things is only natural!”

………..

They were discussing, each saying their piece, when they heard a voice coming from the door.

“What are you all doing here?”

They turned around and saw Third Brother Mu Jingyi coming back from work. Seeing him approach, they immediately asked,

“Third Brother, did you buy Chu Yunxi these clothes?”

Mu Jingyi walked up to them and looked at the various clothing boxes piled up in the living room. He looked confused and said,

“No, didn’t I buy Chu Yunxi clothes last month?”

Chu Yunxi, seeing Mu Jingyi say this, quickly said,

“Yes, Third Brother bought me a lot of clothes last month. These must be from Second Brother.”

After all, the other brothers and younger brothers hadn’t graduated from university yet and hadn’t received any share dividends from the family company. Their monthly allowance was just enough for their own expenses.

The uncles and aunts loved her, but they had never bought her things on such a grand scale. The old lady of the Mu family loved her, but she had been on vacation with her old friends recently, so it couldn’t be her.

As for the Mu family’s eldest uncle and his wife, and Big Brother Mu Jingchen, it was even less likely. They only loved their biological daughters or sisters, so Chu Yunxi could only guess that it was Second Brother Mu Jingyu who bought them for her.

After all, Mu Jingyu not only had dividends but was also a famous celebrity, so he was the richest among the brothers.

The clothes, bags, and jewelry in the living room were all much better than what Third Brother had bought her. At this moment, Chu Yunxi was even more certain that it was Mu Jingyu who had bought them for her.

If she didn’t need to maintain her obedience and composure in front of her brothers, she would have already opened all the items one by one to see if they were the styles she liked. Her eyes kept drifting towards the boxes, filled with anticipation and desire.

Just as Chu Yunxi was looking enviously at these things, she heard the sound of the door opening from the study. They looked up and saw the old man of the Mu family coming out of the study.

Everyone was a little surprised. After all, at this time, the old man would always be in the activity room in the courtyard, chatting or playing chess with other old men.

Sometimes, even in the wind and rain, he would go there with an umbrella. They rarely saw him at this time.

Mu Jinghan was the youngest and the least able to keep his mouth shut. Seeing the old man, he couldn’t help but say, “Grandpa, why are you at home? Didn’t you go play chess with Old Man Ye today?”

The old man looked at his grandson, snorted coldly, and said, “What are you all doing here?”

Those old men were nothing compared to his granddaughter. After Mu Hongtao called him in the morning, he had been waiting at home for them to bring his granddaughter back.

He hadn’t even taken a nap today because he was waiting for his granddaughter. He couldn’t believe that it was this late, and his eldest son still hadn’t brought her granddaughter back. He should have gone to pick her up himself. Thinking about it, the old man felt a wave of dissatisfaction and anxiety.

Mu Jinghao, seeing the old man, also quietly restrained himself, afraid of accidentally upsetting him again. He looked at the old man with a flattering smile and said, “Grandpa, we’re guessing who bought these gifts for Chu Yunxi. Grandpa, who bought them for Chu Yunxi? We just asked Third Brother, and it wasn’t him, so is it Second Brother?”

Mu Jinghao thought he had guessed right, so he looked at the old man with hope, hoping to get the answer from his grandfather.

Of course, the old man knew who bought these things and for whom. He was about to say something when he heard a car pulling up in the courtyard.

At this moment, the old man didn’t even bother to pay attention to Mu Jinghao and the others. He quickly walked towards the door, shouting, “Finally back! You’ve kept this old man waiting long enough!” His steps were hurried, and his eyes sparkled with anticipation.

The people in the living room looked at their grandfather in confusion. They were curious about whom he was so eager to greet.

So, they exchanged glances and walked behind the old man without a word.

They saw Big Brother Mu Jingchen get out of the driver’s seat first, followed by Eldest Uncle Mu Hongtao.

Eldest Uncle Mu Hongtao got out of the car and quickly opened the back door. Wait, Mu Jingchen also went to the other side of the backseat to open the door?

Who was it? As Mu Jingchen opened the door, everyone saw a beautiful and youthful girl getting out of the car.

At this moment, Mu Jinghao couldn’t help but say, “This… she… she’s the girl on TV!”

And she was from the Second High School. At this moment, Mu Jinghao remembered why he had a sense of familiarity when he saw this girl at the gate of the Second High School. This girl looked so much like his eldest aunt!

After Mu Jinghao said this, everyone else present also noticed that this girl was the top scorer in the college entrance exam they had seen on TV that day!
