Chapter 153 You've already granted the wishes of both children.
early morning.
I, Mu Xi, and Huo Yi appeared at the airport.
After a while, Mu Xi's parents came out of the gate.
"Mom and Dad!" she called out.
Mr. Mu's refined features carried an air of authority, while Mrs. Mu was very gentle and graceful.
Upon seeing her daughter, Mu's mother was overjoyed: "Xixi, let Mommy give you a hug."
Mu Xi was hugged by her, and tears fell uncontrollably.
Mother Mu quickly comforted her, "Don't be afraid, your father and I are back now, no one will be able to bully you anymore."
"Mom," Mu Xi said, feeling wronged, "I'm sorry for making you worry."
"Silly child." Mother Mu lovingly stroked Mu Xi's face: "It's all your father and I's fault. We always thought that you were our only daughter, and we couldn't bear everything for you. We wanted you to grow up early and be able to stand on your own. We never expected that you would only report good news and not bad news. You manage the company very well, but your marriage is a complete mess."
Mu Xi sniffed.
"Dad Mu, Mom Mu," I greeted them.
"Yan Yan, it's been so long!" Mother Mu said with delight. "You've been gone for five years, and our Xi Xi has cried a lot."
"It's my fault," I said apologetically.
Mr. Mu looked at me and said, "It's good that you're safe and sound."
"Dad Mu, Mom Mu, I was the one who caused Mu Xi's divorce. Don't blame her; blame me instead," I said apologetically.
"You did it for Xixi, how could we blame you?" Mother Mu smiled.
"Uncle, Aunt." It was finally Huo Yi's turn to speak: "Welcome back. I'm here on behalf of the Huo family to pick you up. I've already made reservations at the restaurant."
"Xiao Yi, there's no rush," said Mu's father. "Let's go home first."
"Yes, let's go home. I'll cook for you when we get home," Mother Mu said with a smile.
“Mom and Dad, I’ve been staying at Yan Yan’s house for a while now. The previous villa wasn’t safe, so I moved out,” Mu Xi explained. “Then Yan Yan said that she prepared a villa in Wuwang Mountain so that it would be easier for everyone to take care of each other in the future, so let’s stay there for now.”
"Wuwang Mountain?" Mr. Mu asked in surprise, "It's a prime location. I've heard that you have to wait in line to buy a house there, and even if you have money, you might not be able to buy one."
"I bought it from Huo Yubai," I said. "Let's go take a look."
"Okay." Mr. Mu gave me a meaningful look.
After one hour.
We arrived at the villa on Wuwang Mountain.
Mr. and Mrs. Mu were very satisfied with the decoration of the villa.
According to Mu Xi, her father enjoys playing chess and painting, so his study is very spacious and decorated in a modern Chinese style, which is very tasteful.
Mother Mu enjoys classical dance, so there is a well-soundproofed and spacious dance studio in the villa.
The two of them raved about the place.
The nanny, driver, and gardener have all been arranged in advance.
As Mu's mother prepared to cook, she looked at me and said, "Yan Yan, Huo Yubai recommended this house. Could you invite him over so we can all eat together?"
"Okay." I explained, "But I don't know if he's free, I'll ask him for you."
"Okay." Mother Mu smiled. "I'll go see your mother later."
"Thank you, Mom." I expressed my gratitude.
"No need to thank me, we're family." Mother Mu comforted me, "Don't worry too much, your mother will be alright."
I smiled and nodded, then took out my phone and called Huo Yubai.
He happened to be at the villa when he heard that the Mu family had invited him to dinner, and he accepted.
Return to the living room.
Mr. Mu was talking to Mr. Huo.
“Xiao Yi, you have taken great care of Xi Xi in your family all these years, and I am very grateful. As the eldest brother, you have done a very good job.” Father Mu said solemnly, “Back then, the Mu family owed the Huo family a debt of gratitude. Your grandfather came to us and said he hoped we could marry our daughter to them. At the time, I thought Xi Xi was going to marry you, so I agreed. But I never expected that neither your grandfather nor you would agree to Gao Yunxin’s suggestion and insist on drawing lots.”
“Uncle Mu, I know the Mu family did something wrong in this matter.” Huo Yi explained, “I only heard that Mu Xi likes Huo Xiao, but because of her family situation, she seems to have no choice. I thought I would leave it to fate. I never thought that it was actually Gao Yunxin’s trick.”
There was actually a misunderstanding about this.
Huo Xiao met Mu Xi before he did.
At that time, the matter of a marriage alliance had not been mentioned.
Every time he came home, Gao Yunxin would always talk about how they either went out to play or went to the movies. He thought that there was a big age gap between him and Mu Xi, and that Mu Xi would prefer Huo Xiao, who was about the same age.
So when Gao Yun thought of drawing lots, he agreed.
He feared that if he didn't back down and actually married Mu Xi, Mu Xi wouldn't be happy.
Little did they know that this was all a deliberate arrangement by Gao Yunxin.
Gao Yunxin planned everything, from going out to play to watching movies, and then took photos to show him.
“Speaking of this, I’m also very angry.” Mother Mu came over with a cup of tea: “Back then, I asked you to go to Old Master Mu and ask him to finalize the marriage between Mu Xi and Huo Yi, but you didn’t go. As a result, Gao Yunxin came and said that Huo Yi already had someone he liked, which made it difficult for us to insist that Xi Xi be given to Huo Yi.”
Huo Yi frowned slightly: "Is that so?"
"Mom and Dad, don't say anymore, it's all in the past." Mu Xi said nervously.
Why are they saying all this?
“Of course these things need to be clarified. Huo Yi is now the heir of this branch of the Huo family, and he has the right to know these things, so that he can know what his stepmother and younger brother really are.” Father Mu’s tone became more serious.
Mu Xi dared not speak.
"Uncle and Aunt, this is the first time I've ever heard of this." Huo Yi's expression turned slightly unpleasant. "I don't have anyone I like, I never have."
"Xiao Yi, don't be nervous." Mother Mu smiled. "We just want to make things clear. Actually, we mentioned to Grandpa Mu before that it would be better to let Xi Xi be your sister. It would be nice if the two families could become godparents."
Huo Yi: "..."
"Mom, please stop talking." Mu Xi was speechless.
“Yes, what your aunt said is quite good. How about this, from now on you and Xixi will address each other as brother and sister. In the future, you should take good care of her, and if she finds someone she likes, you can also help her choose the right person,” said Mr. Mu.
Huo Yi's expression was slightly cold.
"Mom and Dad, even if we don't acknowledge each other as godparents, Brother Huo takes good care of me," Mu Xi explained.
"Well then, if we become godparents, people will talk less about us, won't they?" Mother Mu said with a smile.
I sat to the side, quietly drinking tea, my eyes darting back and forth between Huo Yi and Mu Xi.
Just then, the doorbell rang.
I stood up: "It should be Huo Yubai. I'll go open the door."
After I finished speaking, I walked to the door and opened it.
Unexpectedly, Gao Yunxin stood at the door and said, "I'm here to meet Mu Xi's parents."
Mrs. Mu walked over: "Mrs. Huo, what brings you here?"
"My dear in-law, I've come to beg you. Look how much Huo Xiao still misses your Xixi, please grant the two children their wish." With that, Gao Yunxin knelt down.
