Chapter 528: Is the Grudge Between You Two True?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Mu Jiangli smiled faintly and said, âDo you not remember?â
From his smile, Liu Shimei could tell that he was forcing it, but she didnât understand what he meant.
Judging by the attitude of the Liang family, it seemed that there had been no previous connection between Mu Jiangli and them?
It was already a rude question, but Liu Shimei was too curious to hold back. âForgive my intrusion, but Lord Mu, did you recognize me from a long time ago? The Liang family rarely interacts, so what about the Liu family?â
When she mentioned the Liu family, a hint of hostility flashed in Mu Jiangliâs eyes. His gentle expression faded, and his thin lips tightened. He said, âThere are things youâre better off not knowing. In any case, youâre doing well now.â âIâm doing well? Lord Mu, what aspect are you referring to?â Liu Shimei asked again, her tone becoming slightly urgent, crossing the boundaries of their relationship.
Mu Jiangli sighed and suddenly smiled. âItâs fortunate youâre the one saying these words to me. If it were someone else, they probably wouldnât be getting such a pleasant answer.â
With this statement, he was being remarkably clear about changing the subject, almost directly saying: Please stop prying into my privacy.
Liu Shimeiâs face stiffened. She awkwardly smiled and said, âI apologize, Lord Mu. Iâve overstepped. I was just very curious and couldnât help but ask.â
âItâs alright. Everyone has curiosity,â Mu Jiangli poured her a cup of tea and said, âI wonât hold it against you. However, when interacting with others outside, you should be more cautious. Curiosity killed the cat, after all.â
He didnât say, âI donât mind you prying into my privacyâ, but rather, âI wonât mindâ, which carried a different meaning.
Liu Shimei was once again taken aback. But remembering how he had put it earlier, she didnât have the audacity to ask further. Instead, she redirected the conversation to Zhong Lang. âIâve asked Zhong Lang about the grudge between you and Mr. Zhong.â
âOh, how did he put it?â Mu Jiangli held the teacup to his lips, took a sip, and savored the exquisite taste of the high-quality Biluochun tea leaves, their fragrance lingering between his teeth.
The Liang family had treated their guest, who had saved their daughter, with great hospitality. Even though Liu Shimei didnât understand tea leaves, she found the tea quite enjoyable.
She briefly explained what Zhong Lang had said, paused, and then asked, âSo, does Lord Mu know this person, Wu Duosi?â
âI do,â Mu Jiangli replied with a calm expression, not pointing out any inaccuracies in Zhong Langâs words and offering no further comment.
Liu Shimei could tell at a glance: this man was extremely cunning, and if he didnât want to share his own affairs with others, it would be difficult for anyone to uncover them. Moreover, he was low-key, not just wearing a literal mask but carrying an invisible one as well. He appeared gentle, but in reality⊠he kept people at a distance!
Cold and aloof.
She asked again, âSo, Mr. Zhongâs statements about the grudges between you, are they true?â
Mu Jiangli sighed, looked at her, and smiled faintly. âShimeiâŠâ He paused and added, âAlthough it may not be very polite, may I address you this way?â
âYou may,â Liu Shimei, a modern person, didnât have the same ideas as people in ancient times, who reserved their names for close intimates. She naturally didnât mind.
Of course, her silly dog might get jealous!
But in such matters, jealousy couldnât be indulged!
Mu Jiangli seemed somewhat pleased and said, âWhat Zhong Lang said is indeed not false. But from my perspective, the reason for relentlessly pursuing him time and again is not solely because of his breach of trust.. Thereâs another
reason!â
