145 Taking The Initiative To Chat
Bei Shuo turned around gently and looked at her wine cabinet turned medicine cabinet seriously. Did it have to be so obvious?
Mu Ci returned very quickly and Bei Shuo followed him to the study.
He didn’t say anything. He opened the food box, took out a piece of snack, and ate it with Bei Shuo.
Bei Shuo didn’t ask.
“Brother, do you have work to do? I won’t disturb you anymore. I have homework to complete too,” Bei Shuo said with a smile. She felt that Mu Ci might need some personal space.
Mu Ci took her hand and kissed it gently. “Alright, help me call Uncle Liu in.”
There was a very exquisite glass house in the garden behind the main house.
Bei Shuo hugged her book and prepared to write her thesis in this quiet place.
“I didn’t expect you to be such a good student.” Song Nan appeared at the door with a teapot.
Bei Shuo recalled the first time she met Song Nan. Song Nan followed behind Duan Si like a shadow. Other than occasionally glancing at Mu Ci with a complicated gaze, she did not have much of a presence.
Bei Shuo had heard from Xiaobai about Song Nan. Eldest Madam doted on her adopted daughter more than Mu Ci. She couldn’t even bear to marry her off to her disabled son.
However, no one told her what kind of person Song Nan was.
Eldest Madam liked her, and Old Master did not hate her. Even Mu Ci did not say anything about her, and Mu En seemed very close to her.
Bei Shuo suddenly realized that Song Nan was not simple.
How could someone who did not let anyone ignore her and did not let anyone pay special attention to her be simple?
“Why? Are you surprised that I came to look for you?” Song Nan walked in and sat opposite Bei Shuo.
Bei Shuo moved the computer in front of her so that Song Nan had more room to place the tea tray. She only smiled and did not say anything.
She could not answer that.
Song Nan’s tone was very similar to Duan Si’s domineering tone. Bei Shuo knew that she had not offended her in any way. Let’s see what she wants to do.
Eldest Senior Brother said that the most important thing when fighting with others was not to move before the enemy. Don’t move lest you lose the initiative.
Song Nan poured a cup of tea and handed it to Bei Shuo. She poured herself another cup and took a sip.
Bei Shuo also took a sip and praised, “Good tea!”
Song Nan raised her eyebrows. “I didn’t expect you to know tea.”
Bei Shuo replied, “Not really. It’s just that I’ve drunk some varieties of this black tea and slowly realized its taste.”
Song Nan looked at her. “I heard that you grew up in the countryside.”
Bei Shuo smiled. “It’s not like there’s no tea in the countryside.”
Song Nan shrugged. “As expected, rumors are always easy to believe. You’re actually not as simple as you look.”
Bei Shuo laughed. “Miss Song, what do you mean by simple?”
Song Nan didn’t answer. She took another sip of tea and said slowly, “Have you met Lin Jun and Mu Yao?”
She changed the topic so quickly.
Bei Shuo nodded and admitted, “We met by accident. We didn’t meet on purpose. I saw that Brother Mu Ci was very cold to Madam Lin Jun. Madam was really wrong to say that about him.”
Song Nan smiled. “I just said that you’re not as simple as you look. I take it back. You’re still too simple-minded.”
This sudden praise and criticism confused Bei Shuo.
“Do you want to hear the story of this wealthy family?” Song Nan looked at her and smiled. Her smile was so friendly that it seemed to contain a hint of viciousness. Bei Shuo felt a little uncomfortable.
Song Nan had wanted to say it anyway, so asking was just an opening line. Hence, Bei Shuo made an expression that said, “Go ahead.”
Song Nan rubbed the edge of the teacup with her fingers and said slowly, “Lin Jun isn’t the person that Mr. Mu loves the most. She has an aunt called An Ya, Mr. Mu’s first love. However, she doesn’t come from a good background and her mother is in the sex business. No matter how much the Mu Family lowers themselves, they won’t allow such a woman to enter the family. Hence, their love was strongly opposed by the family.”
“The Mu Family members were all stubborn. The more they were denied, the more they resisted. Mr. Mu and An Ya eloped. At that time, Mr. Mu and the eldest daughter of the Duan Family were already engaged. Neither the Mu Family nor the Duan Family could afford to lose face. Hence, they used all their strength to capture the two of them. The Duan Family waited for the Mu Family to give an answer. The Mu Family first tempted An Ya, then forced her. In the end, An Ya couldn’t withstand the pressure and committed suicide.”
Bei Shuo was shocked.
Song Nan expected her expression. She pursed her lips and smiled, but her face was full of mockery.
