In fact, in circles like these in the capital, it was not strange for a birthday gift to cost more than ten million yuan. After all, these families did not lack money.
However, it was Mu Ning and Lin Yin’s birthday at the same time today, so it was inevitable that everyone would compare the gifts Mu Kun had given them. Mu Kun had only given Mu Ning a diamond necklace worth millions.lt could be bought anywhere.
However, the price of Mu Kun’s gift to Lin Yin was ten times that of Mu Ning’s. Moreover, Lin Yin’s gift was priceless. Even if someone wanted to buy it, they might not be able to buy an agarwood bracelet and a rosewood box of such quality.
In comparison, there was indeed a difference between biological and adopted children.
How could Mu Ning not know that those people were laughing at her? She just had to maintain her emotions and not let others laugh at her even more.
Sun Yun’s expression was abnormally ugly. Mu Kun had gone too far. He knew that Mu Ning would be embarra.s.sed, but he still demonstrated preferential treatment with the gifts.
She would not have been so angry if Mu Kun and her had given them the same thing.
Mu Kun said frankly, “Yinyin, you’ve been wandering outside for so many years. It’s the Mu family’s negligence that we haven’t raised you for a day. Today is your birthday, and Grandpa is thinking about how to make up for the missing gifts for eighteen years. It’s just that this lost time is too precious, so this gift is Grandpa’s birthday gift to make up for the eighteen years you missed.”
Everyone nodded in understanding.
“I don’t think Old Master Mu did anything wrong. Think about it. Mu Ning has lived a luxurious life and received an elite education for so many years. The Mu family has spent a lot of money on Mu Ning. Lin Yin, the biological daughter, has never enjoyed any of this. It makes sense for Lin Yin to receive an even more expensive gift.”
“That’s right. Mu Ning has been in the Mu family for 19 years. Every time she celebrates her birthday, the Mu family will probably give her a gift. It’s been 19 years. According to the gift of a million yuan per birthday, it’s more than 10 million yuan, almost 20 million yuan. How is it unfair for Old Master Mu to give Lin Yin a gift of more than 10 million yuan?
“That’s right. It’s more worth it for an adopted daughter from an orphanage to enter the Mu family and enjoy such good resources than a gift worth more than ten million yuan.”
“Sigh, why didn’t I have such a good life to be adopted by the Mu Family? If I were Mu Ning, I would definitely worship Lin Yin. If Lin Yin hadn’t been accidentally lost, where would Mu Ning get so rich?”
“Isn’t that so? You’ve picked up a huge bargain. Not to mention the eight aristocratic families, how many ordinary families would adopt children? Not to mention, they’re so nice to the adopted child.”
“That’s right. Mu Ning really has to thank the Mu family!”
Mu Ning clenched her fists tightly in a place where no one could see, her heart filled with indignation.
Sun Yun gently pulled Mu Ning and said in a low and resolute tone, “Be it Ah Ning or Yinyin, they’re both children of our Mu family. All these years, we’re very happy to have a heartfelt person like Ah Ning by our side.”
“Moreover, before we adopted Ah Ning, we specially went to look for Master
Ming Jue to read our fortune. Ah Ning is the blessing of our Mu Family. With Ah Ning, our Mu Family can be at peace and ward off disaster and evil.”
Sun Yun turned to Lin Yin and continued, “Speaking of which, we have to thank
Otherwise, you might still be wandering outside. Just thinking about you suffering outside makes Grandma feel terrible.”
Everyone looked at each other. They did not expect Sun Yun’s mind to be like this. Mu Ning was originally in a position where she should be grateful to the Mu family, but when Sun Yun said that, it seemed like Mu Nings appearance saved the Mu family.
Sun Yun was clearly trying to raise Mu Nings status.
Ye Wen’s face was ashen, but before she could speak, Mu Ran had already retorted, “Grandma, what era is it now? You can’t have feudal superst.i.tions.”
Seeing Sun Yun’s dark expression, Mu Xiao smiled and said, “We couldn’t find Yinyin for so many years. Grandma was anxious, so she placed her hopes on these illusory things. Now that Yinyin is back, I think Grandma has let go of this knot in her heart and doesn’t believe in these things anymore, right?”
Before Sun Yun could speak, Mu Xiao hurriedly pulled her back. “Grandma, you can rest a.s.sured now. Yinyin is by our side now..”
