Chapter 280: Love is Never Smooth Sailing

As soon as Uncle Zhong heard that, his eyes lit up!

“Is that for real?!”

Mu Siyin nodded. “Of course.”

Uncle Zhong looked excited. “Then, can you bring a few antiques back for me to have a look when you have the time?”

Mu Siyin smiled slyly and looked at Uncle Zhong. “Then, tell me what happened when I was away yesterday.”

Uncle Zhong’s face instantly froze.

Mu Siyin blinked. “How about that, Uncle Zhong?”

Troubled by Mu Siyin’s request, Uncle Zhong stared at Mu Siyin for some time before replying, “Little Siyin, you are so wicked! You’ve had this old man all set up!”

Mu Siyin grinned and said, “I did not. You’re the blabbermouth. So, just tell me, what happened last night?”

She trusted Shi Beiyu, but she still wanted to know who came when she was not around last night.

Uncle Zhong looked at Mu Siyin and said, “In that case, you must not tell Little Beibei that I’ve told you. He’ll hit me if he knows!”

Mu Siyin nodded. “Alright, I promise I won’t tell him.”

Uncle Zhong looked at Mu Siyin and said, “Oh, Little Siyin. You have to hurry up and have a baby with Little Beibei! Otherwise, the She-Devil will keep on bringing the young lady from the Yue family to seduce Little Beibei.”

Mu Siyin’s smile stiffened at Uncle Zhong’s words.

Shi Beiyu’s mother brought someone here?

Seeing Mu Siyin’s expression changed, Uncle Zhong added helplessly, “It’s not Little Beibei’s fault. It was the She-Devil who insisted on bringing her here to approach Little Beibei. Fortunately, Little Beibei drove them both away!”

A complicated feeling welled up in Mu Siyin. She knew that his mother would not give up easily.

“Which young lady did she bring from the Yue family?” She wanted to know what type of women Mother Shi picked for Shi Beiyu.

“Who else can it be? She’s from the Yue family, the daughter of Yue Xiang!”

Mu Siyin’s heart quivered!

So, it was the Yue family?

There were only a handful of wealthy families in the capital, and the Yue family was one of them!

Leng Jiuchen’s aunt is Yue Xiang’s wife, and she gave birth to a son and a daughter.

She did not expect the lady whom Mother Shi picked for Shi Beiyu to be Leng Jiuchen’s cousin. She was indeed someone well-matched to Shi Beiyu.

Mu Siyin’s heart ached uncontrollably.

Although Mu Siyin did not care about her family background, she was still too insignificant if she wanted to be with Shi Beiyu…

Mu Siyin could not help but wonder if the lady who was holding onto Shi Beiyu’s arm during Old Master Shi’s birthday was the same Miss Yue that Uncle Zhong had mentioned.

Uncle Zhong felt a little guilty when he saw Mu Siyin frowning and not speaking.

“Little Siyin, don’t think too much about it. The She-Devil brought the girl here, and Little Beibei didn’t even know it. Don’t blame him, okay?”

Mu Siyin came back to her senses and looked at Uncle Zhong, who was biting his lips nervously. “Don’t worry. I won’t blame him.”

Uncle Zhong looked at her suspiciously. “Really?”

Mu Siyin nodded. “Well, it’s getting late. I should head to work.”

Then, Mu Siyin turned around and left.

Uncle Zhong blinked and hurriedly shouted out to her, “Aren’t you going to get your design draft?”

Mu Siyin stopped in her tracks and looked back at him. “I suddenly feel like I should think about my inspiration a little more, so I won’t take it for now.”

With that, she turned around again and left at last.

Uncle Zhong looked at Mu Siyin’s somewhat lonely silhouette and felt very helpless. Love is never smooth sailing. There is no exception even for both of them.”

Regardless, Uncle Zhong had a more important thing to worry about. What would be his consequences if Little Beibei found out that he had secretly reported to Little Siyin about what had happened yesterday?
