“That’s right. Although Old Master Mu didn’t appear at Mu Ning’s birthday banquet, he didn’t attend Lin Yin’s birthday banquet either. Therefore, I think Mu Ning is still more favored.”
“So what if she’s favored? After all, she’s not biological. Once Mu Cheng officially inherits the Mu Corporation, Lin Yin will be the legitimate eldest daughter of the Mu Family. Mu Ning will be nothing!”
Yue Ning mocked coldly from the side, “So what if she’s a biological daughter? Haven’t you heard? After all, she’s a child they raised for 18 years. When the time comes, Grandpa and Grandma Mu will definitely leave something good for Mu Ning. Lin Yin might not be able to get these things.”
Yue Ning’s words made the surrounding people’s hearts race. If Old Master Mu liked Mu Ning, and Sun Yun was born into a rich family, if Sun Yun left all her things to Mu Ning, Mu Nings value would really be different.
Initially, they wanted to come to the Mu Family’s old residence to celebrate with Mu Ning as a form of respect for the current head of the Mu Family, Old Master Mu. Then, they would go to Lin Yin’s side to show respect to the future head of the Mu Family, Mu Cheng. That way, they could take the opportunity to stay there and close their relationship with Mu Cheng.
After all, in their opinion, Old Master Mu was old after all. In a few years, the power of the Mu Family would probably fall into Mu Cheng’s hands, so they were more biased towards Mu Cheng.
Now, they sized up Mu Ning. Many people began to think about whether they should come back and get closer to Mu Ning after they congratulated Lin Yin.
Especially for some small families, they could not get close to Lin Yin, but if Mu Ning was also valuable, it would probably be easier to get closer to her than Lin Yin.
Huo Ge listened to everyone’s whispers silently and a disdainful smile appeared on his lips.
Yue Shan only smiled indifferently. Then, as everyone dispersed to enjoy the banquet, she brought Huo Ge and Huo Bing towards Sun Yun.
When Sun Yun saw Huo Ge, she immediately pulled Mu Ning aside happily and smiled softly. “I told you last time that your Huo Family’s Grandma Yue wants to matchmake you and Huo Ge. What are you thinking?”
Mu Ning was slightly stunned. She had long forgotten about this.
At the Huo Family’s banquet, Yue Shan clearly liked Lin Yin more, so when Sun Yun mentioned this the other day, Mu Ning’s first reaction was that Sun Yun had misunderstood.
Now that she saw that Yue Shan had given up on going to Lin Yin’s side and even brought her two grandsons to her birthday banquet, Mu Ning could not help but wonder if Yue Shan really wanted to matchmake her and Huo Ge last time.
Perhaps Yue Shan had changed her mind when she came to the Mu Family and saw that her grandparents gave her preferential treatment, was biased towards her and ignored Lin Yin. She did not want Lin Yin but wanted her, a more valuable adopted granddaughter?
At the thought of this, Mu Ning’s heart suddenly became a little arrogant. Facing Yue Shan, Mu Ning even had a slightly smug expression. She said casually, “Grandma, I’ll think about this again. If Grandma Yue asks, you can just deal with it casually. I’m still young. I still want to spend more time with Grandma.”
She still remembered how embarra.s.sed she had been by Yue Shan at the Huo Family’s banquet.
This time, if Yue Shan mentioned wanting to matchmake her and Huo Ge, she would definitely let Yue Shan know what regret was.
Of course, she would not be so stupid as to reject him directly. At least she would have one more suitor and one more choice in her marriage in the future.
When Mu Ning saw Lu Yue, Yue Ning, and the others beside her, she immediately asked them to come over.
Gong Yue, who was closer, approached Mu Ning in a few steps and flattered her with a smile. Mu Ning listened with narrowed eyes.
Seeing Sun Yun and Yue Shan exchanging pleasantries, Mu Ning whispered as if she was a little troubled, “My Grandma just told me that the Huo Family’s Grandma Yue wants to matchmake me and Huo Ge. I’m a little annoyed. How do you think I should reject Grandma Yue later?”
Gong Yue widened her eyes at Mu Ning and whispered in her ear, “Wasn’t Old Madam Huo quite unfriendly to you at the Huo Family’s banquet previously?
Could it be that she’s become a fence sitter after seeing how much the Mu Family values you?”
Yue Ning, who was at the side, sneered softly. “That’s for sure. Ah Ning is Grandpa Mu and Grandma Mu’s favorite now. She’ll definitely be able to obtain a lot of resources from the Mu Family in the future. If Lin Yin wants to get anything good, she’ll have to wait until Uncle Mu Cheng and the others are old. Besides, the Mu Family still has three brothers. At that time, she might not be able to get anything good. This Grandma Yue is smart. She knows what a golden goose is..”
