Chapter 2059

A handsome face, dressed in a black suit, with long legs in perfect proportion, Mu Xiaojiu strode in.

He walked into the side hall and sat down next to Mu Xiaoyao.

Several younger generation members immediately greeted him respectfully: “Uncle.”

That demeanor had a bit more respect compared to earlier with Mu Xuri.

A fleeting look of displeasure flashed in Mu Xuri’s eyes, and he said loudly, “Everyone’s here, serve the dishes.”

The servants immediately responded and rushed to the kitchen to bring out the dishes.

Mu Dongyu glanced at Mu Xuri and said grumpily, “Xuri, just announce whatever you want quickly.”

He really didn’t want to see these two sons anymore; if it weren’t for Mu Xuri notifying him of something important to announce, he wouldn’t have wanted to come.

Every time he saw these two brats, he was almost infuriated to death!

Mu Xuri smiled slightly and said, “What’s the matter, big brother? What’s the rush?”

Mu Dongyu snorted, glanced at Mu Lingchuan and Mu Xiaoyao, and said nothing.

Following his gaze to Mu Xiaoyao and Mu Lingchuan’s positions, Mu Xuri felt relieved.

“Young people’s affairs, they had already decided for themselves, Jiu and I were merely facilitating.”

“Big brother, you don’t blame me and fourth brother for this, do you?”

Mu Dongyu’s expression darkened as he looked up at Mu Xiaojiu and Mu Xuri.

Of course, he blamed Mu Xiaojiu for drawing his two sons in, and also Mu Xuri for randomly matchmaking his son.

As for these two marriages, he was not in agreement with either.

Zimo’s origins were unclear, and of low birth, how could he match Mu Lingchuan?

Baili Xia, without mentioning anything else, she was the child of the Mu family’s enemy!

If someday she remembered past events, wouldn’t the house be thrown into turmoil?

But as for Mu Xiaojiu and Mu Xuri, neither was someone he could afford to offend.

Moreover, these two were in cahoots.

Though the shares had already been reclaimed, he absolutely believed that if they wanted to take them back again, it would be a piece of cake.

“How could I, why would I blame third brother or fourth brother?”

“I’ve got no time to handle the kids’ marriages and have troubled you both a lot.”

Mu Xuri smiled, not daring to say anything more.

As he looked toward Mu Xiaojiu, he saw that he seemed to have not heard what Mu Dongyu just said.

He picked up a few pieces of food and placed them in his bowl, eating casually.

Mu Xuri’s thoughts turned; he had seen too much of this kind of thing.

Many things are not as simple as they appear; the more indifferent one acts, perhaps the deeper the hidden background.

Does Jiu really not care? Even if Baili Xia truly marries Xiaoyao, can he accept it?

He put down his chopsticks, glanced around the room, and then spoke lightly.

“What I want to talk about today is actually the matter announced last time.”

“I’ve already had someone help Xiaoyao and Xiaxia choose a good date; their engagement is set for the third day after Lingchuan’s wedding.”

Once he said that, the side hall immediately fell into silence.

Wen Yu also looked at Mu Xuri with a face full of surprise; even she didn’t know about this matter.

Last time it was said to find a date, but before she had a chance to handle it, Mu Xuri announced it today.

Raising her eyes to look at Ning Anran across from her, her face appeared calm, as if she didn’t find anything strange.

Now Wen Yu understood that Ning Anran knew about this even earlier than she did.

“So soon?” Mu Xiaoyao asked, his voice carrying a bit of hesitation.

Mu Xuri chuckled, “Not soon at all, matters like these should be handled early.”

“Just after Lingchuan’s wedding, there’s such a good date; if missed, who knows how long we’d have to wait.”

He looked at Baili Xia and asked, “Xiaxia, do you have any opinions about the date?”
