Chapter 64 I... like it (Please collect and recommend!)
A shooting incident occurred in downtown Shanghai, and it couldn't be hidden from those who were meant to know. By the next afternoon, everyone who was supposed to know had found out! Old Master Mi was furious, even wanting to call Beijing to scold certain people - what did they want to do?
Of course, in his position and status, even if he scolds loudly, no one dares to stand up and criticize him!
But Guo Pu asked Old Master to let the matter rest! Because some things, once exposed, would be detrimental to everyone involved, and now is not the time.
Guo Pu secretly calculated in his heart for a long time, and after careful consideration, he estimated that Old Man Wang's task of recommending himself as a candidate would pose a threat to certain people! Adding to Milan's side, it's not hard to understand why they took action!
Mi Buqing and Su Muyun, on the other hand, were shocked, and even specially instructed several bodyguards at home to follow Guo Pu's side. Su Muyun even pulled Mi Lan aside to ask in detail about the details of being chased by someone on the pedestrian street yesterday. This woman, who had always been calm and composed, suddenly burst out in anger, which made Guo Pu secretly shocked!
However, there were naturally people who rejoiced in others' misfortunes. Mi Longshan and Fang Yanzi had been making a ruckus in front of Mi Buqing early on. Although they didn't dare say anything in front of Su Mu Yun, who was furious, their cold, sarcastic glances were not few in number. For a time, the atmosphere in the Mi household became somewhat heavy!
"Hum, isn't that right? Isn't he just a small driver? Yet, you're going to use Master's bodyguards for him? Aren't you yourself a driver and bodyguard? And yet, you still need others to protect you? Eldest sister, this is really beneath the dignity of our Mi family."
Fang Yan saw Su Muyun's arrangement, and his heart was indignant. Under the name of Old Master Mi, there was a small team of bodyguards, each with exceptional martial arts skills. They were always stationed in the old mansion of the Mi family, and usually did not show their presence. However, once Old Master Mi was threatened, they would immediately eliminate the threat outside the old mansion. Zeng Bo was their leader!
Mi Longshan and Fang Yanzi were eager to use the bodyguards, but Lao Yezi was determined not to let them do so. Now it's good that even the master can't use them, but they're all out for the sake of protecting a servant. If Fang Yanzi wasn't angry, she wouldn't be herself!
Milan couldn't help but frown at Fang Yanzi's words and said, "Second Aunt, he... was injured by someone while protecting me!"
"Lan'er, what are you talking about? Do you think I'm a three-year-old kid? I've got it all figured out! Hmph! You're really bringing shame to the Mi family. Now everyone in Shanghai knows that the old master of the Mi family's most beloved granddaughter has set her sights on a young driver!"
Milan's mother, Su Mu Yun, frowned slightly and glanced at Fang Yan Zhi and Mi Long Shan. The anger in her heart dissipated, and she calmly said, "Alright, it's getting late too. Second Brother and Yan Zhi, you should head back as well! This matter will be decided by the old master, let's not make a scene here!"
Fangyan Zhi's face turned red with rage, she glared fiercely at her husband who was also pale, and shouted: "Are you dead? Why are you still standing here making a fool of yourself!!"
When they saw the couple, Mi Longshan and his wife, storming in, Mi Buqing smiled at Guo Pu, who was silent, and said: "Hehe, dragon gives birth to nine sons!"
Guo Pu nodded hastily to show his understanding, but Su Mu Yun pulled Mi Lan's hand and said: "Lan Er, come with me for a moment, I have something to say to you."
Milan felt a sense of surprise in her heart, seeing her mother holding her hand tightly, so she didn't say anything and followed her mother into the back hall.
Su Mu Yun's face looked a bit unsightly at this time, his eyes were no longer as calm as before, and even had some sharpness, he asked Mi Lan: "Lan Er, do you... really like Xiao Guo?"
"I...!"
Milan's heart skipped a beat, but her mind inexplicably recalled the scene from last night when that guy held her in his arms and protected her. Her face turned red: "Mom! I... like him!"
"Alas, you're such a handful! Always giving us trouble."
Su Mu Yun grasped his daughter's hand tightly and said with a serious tone: "Lan Er, what are you doing?! Today I just found out that Xiao Guo is the one that Si Rui's maid has feelings for, you...!"
"Mom, Sui Rui won't mind! We've already talked it over...!"
In the end, Milan's voice gradually lowered, but it became much more determined!
Su Mu Yun was born into a prominent family, and such things were not uncommon. A successful man with only one woman by his side? She wasn't concerned about that; what she cared about was the status and reputation of the Wang and Mi families! After all, both families were renowned and respected, although the Mi family had declined somewhat. However, they still held more prestige than the Wangs. For these aristocratic families, it all boiled down to a matter of face. You children don't understand these things; how will our elders be able to show their faces in public later on? A young lady from a prominent family like ours becoming someone's concubine?
"What are you doing?! Lan, your mom isn't opposed to you two, I've also figured it out, Xiao Guo is a dragon among men. Your second aunt has been running around these past two years, how could she hide it from me? Even that Lin person sent over many gifts through someone, fortunately your grandfather flatly refused! You know this, your grandfather's family rules, you're stepping into this..."
"Mom, don't worry!"
Milan said in a low voice: "Grandpa won't blame me! Don't worry! If I'm not mistaken, Grandpa and that guy must have reached some kind of agreement, even I don't know!"
Su Mu Yun was taken aback for a moment!
"Is that so? Whatever... I'm just being overly cautious, but your mother will absolutely not agree to you two being together. This won't do! Lan'er, Mom knows you've always been sensible since you were little, so I won't say more. You think about it yourself. Oh right, yesterday I made a few sets of clothes for that little guy, and Wu Ma came by to pick them up today. You go deliver them!"
Milan burst out laughing and pulled her mother's hand, saying: "Mom, you're still opposed to it! Hmph, your words don't match your heart!"
Su Mu Yun's face finally revealed a smile, and she said lovingly: "Dead girl, Mom is worried about you! In the future, you'll have your own bitter fruit to eat! You've taken a liking to this guy, his fate may be extraordinary, but he's cursed with peach blossoms, and in this lifetime, who knows how many good girls' families will be ruined!"
Hehe, come and bully me too! Use collection, recommendation, coffee, and reward to bully me! Come on! The more you bully me, the more I'll let Pig Foot bully even more little girls! Hahahahahahahahaha!
Also: Thank you again for evensong's reward!
