Except for Mu Zhenming, the huge living room was empty but for a few servants
The twin brothers Qiao Fei talked about weren’t there, either.
“Zhenming!”
Qiao Fei’s voice truly impressed Qiao Jin.
She never thought that Qiaofei’s throat could make such a saccharine and coquettish sound.
The key was that she sounded sweet and unpretentious, and quite normal.
She walked towards Mu Zhenming, appearing more kittenish than usual. Her kittenish behavior was probably a change that all women made in front of their beloved men. fr(e)ewebn(o)vel
“I came back with Xiao Jin.”
She waved at Qiao Jin and made wild, meaningful glances towards her. “Qiao Jin, come on, greet Uncle Mu.”
Mu Zhenming had the perfect composure of the head of a family and a person in a position of power.
Even in his fifties, he had an upright figure and a handsome face.
If one said he was thirty or forty, someone would believe it.
Everyone in this family appeared good-looking, and Qiao Fei herself also looked young.
But while Qiao Fei was naturally like that, Mu Zhenming’s physical appearance took an extraordinary amount of money to maintain.
Mu Zhenming looked at Qiao Jin and nodded slightly.
He had never liked Qiao Fei’s adopted daughter in the first place. Qiao Fei had neglected him and his sons to let a girl that was a complete stranger enjoy 20 years of her maternal love, and now Qiao Fei wanted to bring her back.
He didn’t sulk because of the good manners that a successful man should have.
His status didn’t allow him to blame a girl too much, so he could only turn a blind eye.
Qiao Fei had been arguing with him about Qiao Jin over the past few days, and she seemed quite adamant. He had to agree to let Qiao Jin move into the Mu family’s house.
There was no expression on Mu Zhenming’s face, and Qiao Fei urged Qiao Jin to hurry up with her expressive eyes.
Qiao Jin was silent for a while, then said in a natural tone, “Zhenming, hello.”
Mu Zhenming was speechless.
His poker face seemed to crack for a moment.
Qiao Fei’s expression fell.
The servants, who were cleaning the room and watching from the sidelines, were also shocked.
Was this new lady crazy?
Mu Zhenming looked at Qiao Fei with questioning eyes. Qiao Fei’s gaze swiveled back and forth between Mu Zhenming and Qiao Jin. Amidst the suffocating atmosphere, Qiao Fei couldn’t resist the urge to weep, and she said on the verge of tears, ” Husband, you know… the doctor said…”
Qiao Jin wasn’t in her right mind.
She must have said this to Mu Zhenming when she returned home.
Mu Zhenming recalled the unpleasant phone call from the Song family a few days ago, and he immediately began to dislike Qiao Jin.
But what could he do?
Should he fuss over someone who wasn’t in her right mind?
He thought about it for a moment, then said slowly, “Let’s get ready to eat.”
His voice was calm and assertive, and he had the energy of a decisive leader.
He was an example of the cultivation of a successful man from the upper class.
Just as Qiao Fei was about to speak, Qiao Jin nodded in satisfaction. “What Zhenming says sounds very satisfactory to me.”
She was indeed a little hungry.
Mu Zhenming had no words.
Qiao Fei quickly grabbed his husband to calm his agitation, and tears filled her eyes. “Husband, please, I’ve raised her for 20 years, and I only have one daughter. For my sake, forgive her. You know that she was traumatized recently, and things will get better in time…”
Mu Zhenming remained silent.
What else could he do?
For the sake of his wife, he had to bear it.
But had Qiao Jin really gone mad, or was she simply faking it?
