Chapter 747 Meeting

Chapter 747: Meeting Chapter 747: Meeting Editor: Atlas Studios Bosi and Kejia were almost in tears when they saw Mu Shi.

They pounced on him and refused to come down.

Life had been too hard these days.

If their father didn’t come soon, they would have to consider running away from home.

When Mu Shi, who had originally hardened his heart, saw the two children crying, he hugged them and said helplessly, “Come down quickly.

You’re not babies anymore.

What’s with all that tears and snot?” Seeing that his maternal grandfather was being hugged, Little Bear rushed over and squeezed between the two of them.

He hugged Mu Shi’s leg and looked up at him.

Afraid that his grandson would be hurt from being squeezed, Mu Shi quickly pushed the two children aside and hugged Little Bear.

He glared at the twins.

“Your nephew is watching.

Aren’t you embarrassed?

Hurry up and wipe your tears.” Bosi wiped his tears and rolled up his sleeves for his father to see.

He said, “Father, do you think I’ve lost weight?” Mu Shi squeezed his arm and said with a smile of approval, “Yes, you’ve become much sturdier.” Bosi pouted and looked at him unhappily.

Kejia tugged at her father and said, “Look at me, look at me.

Daddy, don’t you think I’ve become much more haggard?

I haven’t been eating or sleeping well these days…” Mu Shi sized up his youngest daughter and was even more satisfied.

“Kejia has grown up and become much slimmer.

You’re like a big girl now.” Bosi and Kejia glared at him.

Mu Shi turned his head and said to Mu Yangling, “Ah Ling, help me send an invitation to the Shu family.

Let’s arrange a time to meet.” Mu Shi did not want to drag this matter out and wanted to end it quickly.

In order to please his father-in-law, Qi Haoran took the initiative to express his stance.

“Father, I’ll go with you.” Stunned by Qi Haoran’s greeting, it took Mu Shi a moment to realize that he was calling him.

Mu Shi blushed slightly and nodded in satisfaction.

“Okay.” Mu Yangling pursed her lips and smiled.

Qi Haoran hurriedly greeted his father-in-law.

Knowing that Mu Shi loved wine, he even got Fan Zijin to retrieve a lot of fine wine from the restaurant’s private collection.

Shu Wanniang personally cooked a lot of delicacies for them.

When Fan Zijin returned in the afternoon, he was also invited over for a meal.

The three of them drank and chatted at the dining table, discussing a lot of work.

Qi Haoran would pour wine for Mu Shi from time to time.

Fan Zijin kept his eyes on Mu Shi, afraid that he would not be able to help but twitch his eyes and lose his composure when he saw Qi Haoran’s lackey behavior.

At night, Qi Haoran entered the room reeking of alcohol and fell onto the bed.

He snatched Mu Yangling’s blanket over.

Mu Yangling couldn’t stand the stench anymore, so she got up and pushed him to the side.

Seeing that he didn’t even take off his coat, she tugged at his clothes and woke him up.

She said in a low voice, “You reek of alcohol.

You have to take a shower.” Qi Haoran opened one eye and looked at her.

“It’s because I was drinking with Father-in-law.

I’m too tired to move.

I’m not washing up!” “Even if you were accompanying the gods, you still have to bathe.” Mu Yangling fanned the air and said, “Smell it.

Not only does it reek of alcohol, but it also smells like sweat.” Qi Haoran suddenly jumped up and pulled Mu Yangling over to press her down.

With her tightly held in his embrace, he puffed at her childishly.

“Great, you’re as smelly as me now.” Furious, Mu Yangling struggled out of his arms and flipped him to the side, about to flare up for real.

But Qi Haoran had already flipped over and fallen asleep.

Mu Yangling pouted and stared at him for a long time.

In the end, she could only resign herself to fate and help him take off his shoes and clothes.

She wrung a wet towel and wiped his body… The next day, Qi Haoran woke up refreshed.

He had already forgotten what happened last night.

He stretched out his arm and asked Mu Yangling to help him put on his clothes while urging her.

“Hurry up, hurry up.

We’re going to Tiptop Restaurant to see the Shu family later.” Mu Yangling brought over the clothes she had found for him last night.

As she helped him put on the clothes, she said, “You’re not allowed to get drunk again today.

Otherwise, I’ll move to the couch to sleep.” Qi Haoran put on his clothes and looked at Mu Yangling in disdain.

“What do you know?

It was Father-in-law who asked me to drink that wine last night.

If I refuse, Father-in-law will think that I’m unwilling to drink with him.” Mu Yangling patted him.

“My father is old and needs to drink less too.

Never mind that you don’t talk him out of it, but you even brought him so much wine.

Be careful that the next time my mother cooks for you, I’ll ask her to add a handful of chili.

I’ll see if you can handle the spiciness!” Qi Haoran shrunk his neck and hurriedly took her clothes to put on for her.

“Ah Ling, I’ll help you put your clothes on.” Mu Yangling dodged the dress in his hand and pushed him out.

“Hurry up and get out.

Don’t make my father wait.” The Shu family was obviously in a hurry to resolve this matter as well, so Mu Yangling received a reply from them on the same day she sent the invitation.

The two families agreed to meet at Tiptop Restaurant the next day to discuss in detail.

Mu Shi only brought Bowen and Qi Haoran along.

Meanwhile, the Shu family sent their patriarch Shu Yuan, as well as Shu Qing and Shu Mingxiang.

This was the second time Shu Qing and Shu Mingxiang had seen Mu Shi.

They could no longer recognize each other.

Back then, when Mu Shi sent Shu Wanniang back, it was Shu Qing who personally went to meet them.

Later on, Mu Shi secretly saved Shu Wanniang and met Shu Mingxiang face-to-face when he was escaping.

Logically speaking, they should have a deep impression of each other.

At least, Mu Shi remembered the two of them.

However, Shu Qing and his son really couldn’t recognize Mu Shi anymore.

Looking at the unshaven Mu Shi, the patriarch of the Shu family was the first to break the silence.

With a smile, he cupped his hands at Qi Haoran.

“Greetings, Prince Rong.

This must be General Mu, right?

I’m Shu Yuan, the patriarch of the Shu family.” Mu Shi politely cupped his fists and returned the greeting.

“Patriarch Shu.” He shifted his gaze to Shu Qing and narrowed his eyes slightly.

“Lord Shu, how have you been?

It’s been more than 20 years since we last met.

I wonder if you still remember me?” Shu Qing smirked and said, “It’s hard not to remember.” The patriarch of the Shu family coughed lightly and gave Shu Qing a warning look.

He was the first to invite Mu Shi to sit down.

They had booked three private rooms in Tiptop Restaurant and were now sitting in one of the private rooms in the middle which had solid wooden soundproof walls.

As long as they didn’t shout loudly, no one outside could hear what was going on inside.

Patriarch Shu glanced at the elegant and upright Mu Bowen.

Thinking of the news he had gathered over the past few days, he couldn’t help but sigh at the fourth branch’s good luck and bad luck.

He didn’t expect the fourth branch to have such an outstanding maternal grandson, nor did he expect the fourth branch to offend this son-in-law’s family so severely.

Now, he could only hope that the other party would not pursue the matter and that the two sides would live in harmony.

Otherwise, not only would the Shu family’s reputation be damaged, but they would also face enemies from all sides.

Mu Shi’s request was very simple—it wasn’t that he didn’t want to seek justice for his wife, but by doing so that would definitely hurt Wanniang.

Therefore, if he wanted to deal with the Shu family’s fourth branch, he had to do it in private.

On the surface, he wanted the Shu family to give him a promise—that Shu Wanniang would have nothing to do with the Shu family henceforth.

In the future, under no circumstances would the fourth branch of the Shu family disturb the Mu family again.

The two sides would pretend not to know each other even if they met.

As for what took place in private, it would depend on their respective abilities.
