Chapter 60 Mu Jingyu is back

——-

Mu Family

Mu Jingchen came early in the morning from the army today. Mu Jingyu, who is also a star, rushed back home after breakfast.

When Mu Jingyu returned home, everyone was already waiting in the living room. As soon as Mu Jingyu entered the living room, he wanted to see his sister who had been missing for over ten years.

However, when Mu Jingyu came in, everyone was chatting, and Mu Xiwan had her back to him, so he only saw a beautiful figure.

Mu Jingyu was about to speak when he heard a gentle voice saying:

“Second Brother, you’re back!”

Chu Yunxi saw Mu Jingyu standing at the living room door at a glance. She ran cutely to Mu Jingyu’s side, her face beaming with a sweet smile.

Mu Jingyu habitually ruffled Chu Yunxi’s hair:

“A few days apart, our Xixi is beautiful again!”

Chu Yunxi also affectionately hooked her arm around Mu Jingyu’s and said as they walked inside:

“Second Brother, have you been busy lately? I haven’t seen you for a long time!” Her voice carried a hint of coquettishness.

The people in the living room also noticed the commotion at the door. Mu Xiwan turned around and saw Chu Yunxi’s flaunting and provocative gaze towards her. There seemed to be a sense of victory in her eyes, as if she were taunting Mu Xiwan.

Mu Xiwan ignored this white lotus flower. She focused on the newcomer and was somewhat surprised to find that he looked very similar to herself. Oh, he must be her long-lost second brother! But the dense black mist on his forehead was a bit thick!

As Mu Xiwan was thinking, she heard Mu Jingyu laughing and saying:

“So this is Wannan, right? We really do look alike!”

Beside them, Jiang Ximan glanced discreetly at Chu Yunxi, who was still holding onto Mu Jingyu’s arm, then reproached Mu Jingyu:

“You and Wannan have the same parents. Shouldn’t you look alike?”

As Jiang Ximan’s words fell, Mu Jingchen, who was beside her, looked somewhat plaintively at their mother. Why, even though they had the same parents, among the three siblings, only he looked the most like their father. It’s not that his appearance was not good-looking, it’s just that the second brother and Wanwan were slightly better looking.

Mu Xiwan looked at Chu Yunxi, who was tightly hugging Mu Jinghao’s arm. Her lips couldn’t help but curve slightly upwards, but she still politely said to Mu Jinghao:

“Hello, Second Brother!”

Chu Yunxi seemed afraid of snatching her second brother away, which was really ridiculous. Her principle in the Mu family had always been that she would treat others as they treated her.

If this second brother was not good to her, then she would treat him as a stranger. After being neglected in the Su family for so many years, she had long developed her own way of life. She wouldn’t easily change her mood for someone else’s attitude.

At this moment, Mu Jinghao wanted to get closer to his own younger sister, but since his time at home was limited, as he could only stay at home for two or three days this time, with a variety show waiting for him to record.

However, his arm was being tightly held by Chu Yunxi, and Mu Jinghao turned to look at the soft-spoken Chu Yunxi who wanted to talk to him. He didn’t know what was going on, but his initial intention to find Mu Xiwan was somewhat diminished.

Mu Jinghao turned to see Mu Xiwan chatting with a few elders and decided to abandon the idea of talking to her.

Seeing this, Chu Yunxi’s lips couldn’t help but curve slightly upwards. But just as she was feeling triumphant, her gaze fell on Mu Jinghan sitting next to Mu Xiwan.

Looking at Mu Jinghan talking intimately with Mu Xiwan, Chu Yunxi couldn’t help but feel puzzled. What’s wrong with Jinghan? Clearly, both Second Brother and Third Brother were good to her, but only Jinghan seemed unaffected by what their grandmother gave him!

It was rare for the Mu family to gather together, and everyone was reluctant to leave as they chatted. Mu Hongye looked at the clock on the wall and urged everyone:

“It’s about time, let’s head to the hotel!”

Mu Hongye’s voice was steady and powerful, carrying an unquestionable authority. It was only then that everyone realized they should indeed go to the hotel, after all, they were the hosts, and being late would be somewhat inappropriate!

————–

When everyone arrived at the hotel, Jiang Ximan took Mu Xiwan to find the makeup artist. The makeup artist had been arranged early, and when Mu Xiwan and Jiang Ximan arrived, the makeup artist was already waiting there.

While Mu Xiwan was being pulled by Jiang Ximan to do styling and makeup, Chu Yunxi stood there with a lonely and desolate expression. Her eyes revealed a sense of loss and grievance, as if she had been forgotten by the whole world.

Mu Jinghao, who was used to paying attention to Chu Yunxi’s emotions, saw her like this and asked worriedly:

“Xixi, what’s wrong?”

Mu Jinghao was a bit worried at this moment. Was it because he was holding this banquet for Mu Xiwan that made Xixi unhappy?

But he couldn’t stop the banquet. It was a decision made by several elders, especially his grandfather’s authority, which he dared not disobey.

After hearing Mu Jinghao’s question, Chu Yunxi said in a feigned dejected tone:

“Fifth Brother, I’m fine. It’s just that sometimes I really envy Wannan. She has her parents’ love. Like today, she doesn’t need to worry about makeup and dresses, Aunt Jiang has arranged everything for her!”

The other brothers frowned upon hearing Chu Yunxi’s words. Yes, Aunt Jiang took Mu Xiwan to the makeup room alone, leaving Chu Yunxi here, which was indeed not right!

Even Mu Jingyu, looking at Chu Yunxi standing there alone, felt a faint sense of unease in his heart. He thought his mother had done something inappropriate this time.

Mu Jingchen, with a cold eye, observed Chu Yunxi and everyone’s expressions. He said lightly:

“Chu Yunxi, you say it as if you don’t have parents. If you miss your parents, you can go back to the Chu family to find them! And, I remember that you always had your own dedicated makeup artist and stylist for any banquet you attended, didn’t you?” Mu Jingchen’s voice was cold and sharp, as if he could see through Chu Yunxi’s little tricks.

As soon as Mu Jingchen finished speaking, he heard Mu Jinghan beside him ask with some confusion:

“Yes, Sister Xixi, you’re a star, you seem to have your own stylist and makeup artist, why didn’t you bring them today?”

After hearing Mu Jingchen and Mu Jinghan’s words, Chu Yunxi’s eyes first looked flustered, then instantly turned slightly red. With a voice full of grievance, she said:

“I… I thought Aunt Jiang would also prepare a makeup artist for me, so I didn’t bring my own.”

Her voice was choked with sobs, as if she had suffered a great injustice.

Seeing Chu Yunxi’s aggrieved appearance, Mu Jinghao felt a little feeling of heartache or pity and said to Mu Jingchen with a hint of dissatisfaction:

“Big Brother, why are you saying that to Wannan? It’s just that Aunt Jiang is really… preparing for Mu Xiwan, but not for Xixi, what’s going on?”

Mu Jingchen’s face darkened as soon as Mu Jinghao finished speaking. He looked coldly at Mu Jinghao and said:

“Little Five, pay attention to your words. You’re easily manipulated and swayed by others, you’re truly blind and foolish!”

Mu Jingchen’s gaze was like a sharp sword, making Mu Jinghao tremble in his heart.
