Chapter 548 - 548: Miss Mu
Wen Yu was about to tell everyone that Mu Ning was adopted by his grandmother for Mu Cheng and his wife, but Mu Ning immediately said, “I’m from the Mu Family in the capital. My grandfather is Mu Kun, and my Grandma is Sun Yun.”
Everyone was in an uproar. Even the people beside them looked over in
surprise.
Huo Bing, who was receiving Yue Han and Wen Xi, looked curiously in the direction of Mu Ning and the others.
Someone was already whispering beside her.
“Why is there a young lady from the Mu family? Why haven’t I heard of her?”
“I don’t know either, but I just came over from there and heard it clearly. That girl said that she’s from the Mu Family in the capital. Which other Mu Family is there in the capital?”
“That’s right. The person beside that girl is Wen Yu. Wen Yu’s mother is Mu
Yao.”
“Yes, Wen Yu just said that the girl is his cousin.”
“Oh my god, could this girl be Mu Cheng’s illegitimate daughter?”
“It’s not like that. I heard from my mother that Mu Cheng and Ye Wen seemed to have given birth to a daughter previously, but after they sent out invitations to her one-month-old celebration. They didn’t succeed in hosting it and said that they lost her. Could it be that they’ve found her now?”
“Oh my god, is that true? Doesn’t that mean that another rich young lady with an extraordinary status has appeared? No, I have to get my brother to befriend her immediately. No, I have to befriend her too.”
After Huo Bing heard this, he was so jealous that he gritted his teeth. He knew it. His Grandma had such high standards. Why would she like an illegitimate daughter? So that was how it was.
He sneered. This old lady was indeed biased. She only wanted everything good for Huo Ge.
It seemed like his Grandma was determined to hand the Huo Family over to Huo Ge. Otherwise, why would she start helping Huo Ge now?
The eldest daughter of the Mu family! That was the eldest daughter of the Mu family!
How could someone without a certain level of strength dare to be with the eldest daughter of the Mu Family?
Huo Bing’s gaze slowly landed on Huo Ge, who was still drinking champagne slowly and chatting with the other girls.
Then, he turned to look at Yue Han and Wen Xi and smiled. “Why don’t we go take a look too?”
Yue Han naturally nodded in agreement. He was also very curious about this eldest daughter of the Mu Family.
Wen Xi nodded and smiled. “Alright, it’s more lively to have another sister in this circle. We naturally have to make friends.”
The three of them approached Mu Ning and the others.
Huo Ge looked at the so-called eldest daughter of the Mu Family who was surrounded by people and sneered in his heart. Then, he continued to chat casually with the girl in front of him who was already a little dizzy from his charm.
The people around Mu Ning, whether it was Lu Xiao or Yue Chi, their attitudes changed after knowing that Mu Ning was a member of the Mu Family.
Initially, they thought that Wen Yu had only brought some unimportant female companion, so they teased her. However, if she was a daughter of the Mu family, she was not someone they could treat and mock casually.
Mu Ning could naturally sense the change in the two of them after they found out about her identity. Her chest straightened a little and she smiled at the people who surrounded her to exchange pleasantries.
“Miss Mu?” Huo Bing introduced himself. “I’m Huo Bing, the person in charge of the Huo Family’s banquet today.”
Mu Ning nodded at Huo Bing and smiled. “Hello! However, I’m not the eldest daughter of the Huo Family. I’m ranked fifth in the Mu Family.”
Mu Ning’s words confused everyone. Yue Chi secretly pulled Wen Yu to the side and asked, “Is this Mu Ning really from the Mu family? Why is she the fifth child? Even with the three brothers, shouldn’t she be the fourth?”
Wen Yu thought about it and felt that Mu Ning was right.
With three cousins and one cousin, who had been lost a long time ago, Mu Ning was indeed number five.
Hence, Wen Yu said honestly, “She had an older sister before her, but she’s already passed away, so she’s indeed ranked fifth. She’s my second cousin.”
Everyone was even more confused. It was really surprising that two daughters suddenly appeared in the Mu Family.
However, this did not stop everyone from currying favor with Mu Ning.
That was the Mu Family!
Even though they were all from the eight aristocratic families, there were differences in strength between the aristocratic families. The top three families that were evenly matched were the Mu, Lu, and Wei families.
Huo Bing saw that Huo Ge had been holding back, so he moved first.
Huo Bing said enthusiastically, “It doesn’t matter what the ranking is. Since Miss Mu came over to our Huo Family for a banquet, I, as the host, have to welcome her warmly. Let me introduce you..”
