953 Making It Public?
“Hello?”
Hearing Qin Xi’s voice, Qi Xiong immediately composed himself and asked, “Divine Doctor Qin, Old Master wants to invite you to our house for dinner. Do you have time?”
Qin Xi fell silent.
A trace of sadness flashed across Mu Tianzheng’s eyes, and a bitter and disappointed smile appeared on his face.
It seemed that she did not plan to make it public. It was understandable that Xi did not want to come back because of what Mu Yali had done. However, it would be a pain to Mu Min. She knew that her daughter was right in front of her, but she could not reunite with her. She must be feeling terrible!
Just as he thought that Qin Xi would reject, Qin Xi’s voice was heard from the other end of the phone. “Alright, Han Shi and I will go in the afternoon!”
Hearing that there was no displeasure in her voice, Mu Tianzheng’s eyes suddenly lit up. He said into the microphone excitedly, “W-What do you like to eat? I’ll get the kitchen to make it…”
Qin Xi smiled and said in a relaxed tone, “You don’t have to specially prepare it. Old Master, I still have a lot of things to do. See you in the afternoon!”
“Alright, alright, alright. See you in the afternoon!” Mu Tianzheng said excitedly. There was a trace of ecstasy on his face, and even his hands were trembling slightly.
Only Qi Xiong and Mu Di understood why the old man was so excited.
Mu Sheng and Mu Wen looked at each other and felt that their father seemed to be hiding something from them. Mu Sheng gave Mu Wen a look, indicating for him to test the waters. The latter glanced at him indifferently but did not agree. Instead, he looked at Mu Ge, who was deep in thought. Mu Sheng looked over too, his calm eyes flickering.
Sensing two gazes on him, Mu Ge looked over in a daze and saw his father and second uncle staring at him. His heart skipped a beat and he immediately had a bad feeling.
Mu Ge looked at them and then at his grandfather, who was overjoyed. He immediately understood what they meant. However, he was not stupid enough to ask his grandfather directly. Instead, he secretly kicked Mu Di and stared at him with dark eyes. He lowered his voice and said, “Tell me, what exactly happened?”
Mu Di smiled mysteriously. “You’ll know in the afternoon.”
At this moment, no one paid attention to Mu Yali.
When Mu Yali saw them neglecting her, her heart was filled with hatred and resentment. She gritted her teeth and lowered her eyes. The tears on her face were still rolling down, but only she knew how much pain she was in.
At four in the afternoon, Qin Xi and Han Shi’s car stopped at the entrance. When Mu Di heard the engine sound, he immediately ran out and came to Qin Xi with a smile. “You’re finally here. Grandpa has been waiting for a long time!”
Qin Xi held her stomach and got out of the car. Han Shi took out the gifts from the trunk.
Seeing this, Mu Di took the gift bag and said cheekily, “Look at you. We are a family. Why are you bringing gifts when you come back home?”
The corners of Han Shi’s mouth twitched. He felt that Second Brother Mu was like a completely different person from the one he first met.
Mu Di walked into the house happily with the gifts. “Let’s go in. The food is ready. We’re just waiting for the two of you. By the way, Aunt is inside. Get ready…”
