Chapter 731: DEFINITELY FISHY...
He thought, \'As if he will ever tell you.\' No one would let her know.
Mu Lan guessed his thought and sighed in her heart. "I have some works to be done. Bye bye."
"Stay well kid." Carlo cut the connection.
When Mu Lan came out of the bedroom, she found Mu Liang sitting alone. She asked, "Where is brother Feng?"
"Mother came, so he went to see her. She has yet to know the fact that grandma is out." He looked at her and also questioned, "What did they say?" He meant The Cobra.
"We have to wait till father in conscious. As long as he tells us, no one will stop him to do so." She answered.
"It\'s not as easy as it seems." Mu Liang commented.
"No, because I believe father won\'t tell us anything." She scratched her head. "Ah! This is so frustrating. I will just meet mother-in-law."
"Go ahead. I have some works to do." Since his wifey gave him a surprise, he would also prepare one for her.
Mu Lan went to find Jing Sheng in her room. She stood in front of the door and knocked.
A maid opened the door and bowed to her politely. "Madam Mu, you are here. I will let Miss Jing know about your arrival."
Mu Lan nodded. "Please do so but don\'t call me Madam Mu in the future. This title belongs to Xiao Ying. Remember it." Even though she spoke politely, there was a hint of command in her tone.
"Y-yes, I\'m very sorry." The maid bowed again and went inside to inform Jing Sheng.
Jing Sheng personally came out and hugged Mu Lan. "My dear daughter, how have you been?"
"I\'m absolutely fine, mother. How are you doing?" Though in front of others, she called Jing Sheng \'mother-in-law\', she couldn\'t stop calling her \'mother\' when they were together.
"I\'m fine, but...." Jing Sheng observed her and continued, "Tell me, did my son torture you under the sun? Why are you so tanned?"
Mu Lan scratched her head. "I went to Saudi Arabia to meet him. I didn\'t imagine it would be so hot in there. I didn\'t take appropriate clothes for that kind of weather."
"Silly child, come inside. Let\'s talk whatever you have in your mind." Jing Sheng took her in.
Mu Lan noticed that Mu Feng weren\'t here. "I don\'t see brother Feng."
While walking Jing Sheng answered, "He got a call from work, so he left."
When they entered the bedroom, they saw a few sets of party gowns. Mu Lan asked, "Mother, are you going to any evening party?"
Jing Sheng nodded, "Yes, the party is held in this evening. I still have a few more hours. So, you don\'t have to worry about it. Let\'s talk."
Mu Lan grabbed her hand. "No, mother. Let\'s dress you up." Her eyes glittered in excitement. She never played \'dress up\' game. Now she was excited to do with her mother-in-law.
"Wai-ait!..." Jing Sheng didn\'t finish her words, she was silent by Mu Lan.
The maid who was standing in the corner, covered her laughter.
While they were playing dress up, there was another polite knock.
The maid who had a necklace in her hands, put it down on the dressing table and opened the door.
It was the Head Butler Noel. "Is Madam... I mean Miss Jing, is she here?"
The maid said, "She is. But she is a bit busy right now. Is it important?"
"Yes, it\'s about tonight\'s evening party." Noel said.
The maid agreed. "Alright, I will let her know." She went inside and talked to Jing Sheng. After getting her permission, the maid let Noel enter the room.
Noel came inside the room and saw Mu Lan and Jing Sheng were wearing gown. Mu Lan was wearing a pink gown and Jing Sheng was wearing a red gown. They put on make up and wearing flowers on their heads.
Noel was stunned and was rooted on the spot seeing the unexpected scene.
Jing Sheng smiled to the Head Butler and asked, "Do you have something to tell me, Noel?"
Noel came to his scenes and politely answered, "Yes, the driver parked the car in front of the entrance. I came to ask when you will go downstairs. I need to inform the driver."
Jing Sheng stood up and replied, "I think I\'m almost ready. What do you think, Noel?"
Before he could reply, he saw that the maid took the necklace and wanted to put it on Jing Sheng\'s neck.
"Don\'t." Noel blurted out.
The maid and Jing Sheng both were startled by him. They looked at him with wide eyes.
Realizing what he did, Noel hurriedly bowed. "I\'m so sorry that I startled you, Miss Jing. It wasn\'t my intention."
"It\'s okay. But why did you say \'don\'t\'?" Jing Sheng was confused.
"It\'s not important." Noel said.
Jing Sheng told him, "You can say. You have my permission."
Noel humbly said, "I think that you don\'t need to wear necklace, Miss Jing. You look better without wearing it."
Jing Sheng chuckled. "Oh, that\'s what you wanted to say. Alright, then I will listen to you." She looked at the maid and told her, "Keep the necklace in the drawer."
"As you wish, Miss Jing." The maid took the necklace away.
"I\'m ready. Let\'s go." Jing Sheng smiled at Mu Lan. "I had a good time playing with you. I will talk to you tomorrow."
"Sure. I will be waiting." Mu Lan smiled back.
After Jing Sheng and Noel left together, Mu Lan put her right hand on the cheek. "Now this is..... definitely fishy....."
Flashback (From Mu Lan\'s perception)
Starting from Noel came to the room, he almost stumbled seeing the stunning Jing Sheng. His eyes were staring at her for a little while but his eyes were unfathomable.
If Mu Liang were to stare at her like that, Mu Lan would blush.
Back then, when Jing Sheng was given poison by Mu Lin, Noel changed it.
