Chapter 1083

Baili Xia had been particularly nervous, as if she could already guess what Grandfather wanted to say.

But hearing Uncle speak those words, seeing his expression and gaze, she almost couldn’t help but laugh.

Uncle, this fool, has a high IQ, but his EQ is hopelessly messed up.

He wasn’t speaking on purpose like this, but because he truly didn’t understand the hints in Grandfather’s words.

Ning Anran’s complexion turned pale, she lowered her head, not daring to utter a single word.

Fearing that she would say something wrong and Mr.

Xiaojiu would immediately kick her out of Sihai Residence.

Seeing her complexion, the old master immediately felt heartache.

He glared at Mu Xiaojiu, his face stern: “How can these words not have the slightest bit of charm?”

Mu Xiaojiu raised an eyebrow, looking at him, without expressing his opinion.

The old master then said: “I mean, since you and An Ran get along so well, can I go ahead and acknowledge her as my future granddaughter-in-law?”

A collective gasp rang out, Ning Anran’s fingers loosened, and the cup in her hand clattered to the ground, instantly shattering into several pieces.

Baili Xia also suddenly clenched her fists, subconsciously looking at Mu Xiaojiu.

Although she had anticipated it and knew Grandfather was probably going to say these words.

But, she didn’t expect Grandfather to speak so bluntly.

The words “future granddaughter-in-law” felt like a stab in the heart, causing her an inexplicable ache.

Even knowing that Uncle would not agree, her heart still felt sour.

Mu Ziying was also shocked, her eyes widening as she stared dumbfounded at the old master and Uncle, not knowing what to say.

Future granddaughter-in-law, Grandfather’s words were indeed too shocking.

Does she have to call Ning Anran “Auntie” in the future?

But this girl is even younger than herself.

However, Uncle is also so young; family hierarchy is indeed hard to define by age.

In such a wealthy and grand household, hierarchy should definitely not be measured by age.

Everyone’s gaze suddenly all focused on the old master and Mu Xiaojiu.

The old master waved his hand.

Feng Gang immediately ordered someone to come and clean up the shattered cup on the ground.

After the servants left, the old master looked at Mu Xiaojiu more seriously.

“An Ran has feelings for you, isn’t that obvious?

Since you are willing to let her stay in Sihai Residence, you must have feelings for her too.”

“This kind of thing, you young folks are too shy to say it out loud, so I, the old master, made the decision for you.”

“You young man have been single for so long, it’s time to look for a wife.”

“Our An Ran is so wonderful, what’s there to hesitate about?”

All of a sudden, all the gazes landed on Mu Xiaojiu.

Ning Anran, whether she was too shocked or too frightened, didn’t say anything at that moment, just stared blankly at Mu Xiaojiu.

Mu Xiaojiu’s face still had little expression, knowing that the girl not far away was staring at him.

But at this moment, he still drank all the tea in his cup without any sign of disturbance, and only then leisurely put the cup down.

Raising his eyes to look at the old master, he gave a faint smile.

“She’s Xiaxia’s classmate.

I let this girl stay in Sihai Residence just to make it convenient for them to meet often.

Dad, you’ve misunderstood.”

“How could I misunderstand?

Haven’t you seen how infatuatedly this girl looks at you?”

Suddenly, Ning Anran stood up, her face deathly pale, looking at the old master.

“Grandfather, please don’t say any more, you’ve misunderstood. There’s really nothing between Mr. Xiaojiu and me!”
