Chapter 48 - 48 Her Biological Mother’s Slander
Even Chen Hai could not stand it anymore.
He patted Mu Ci’s shoulder and raised his voice to interrupt Shen Yu’s endless belittling.
“Bei Shuo, come, let me take a look at your hair. Such a beautiful young lady has to dress up properly. Recently, a director friend of mine has accepted a grand drama and is choosing the female lead everywhere. I think! You’ll definitely be the female lead if he sees you!”
Bei Shuo was forced onto the chair by Chen Hai and he started to tidy up her hair.
Hearing that, Shen Yu’s face turned cold when she saw a hairdresser boasting so shamelessly.
“Bei Shuo! What kind of rule is this? Why are you doing your hair in front of your elders? Is this what I taught you at home? Hurry up and go away. You’re a member of the Mu Family now. If you make a mistake, not only will you embarrass our Bei Family, but also the Mu Family! Why are you so insensible?” Shen Yu’s voice was very stern.
Bei Le hurriedly advised, “Mom, don’t be like this. After all, Sister didn’t grow up in our family. How can she learn all the etiquette and rules so quickly? This is the Mu Family. It’s Auntie Mu’s business to discipline Sister in the future. You can’t overstep your boundaries!”
Upon hearing that, Shen Yu hurriedly held Duan Si’s hand and apologized. “In-law, I’m really sorry. As a mother, she always has endless worries. Tell me, sigh, I really have no choice. Please discipline Bei Shuo more in the future.”
Duan Si retracted her hand and said coldly, “I don’t dare to discipline her!”
Shen Yu was stunned.
Song Nan smiled gently. “Madam Bei, don’t blame us. My auntie has been a little angry because of Mu Ci’s health. Since you’re here, we can ask you now. Where did Bei Shuo learn her medical skills? I wonder who her master is. Tell us so that we can rest assured.”
Shen Yu was stunned. She exchanged glances with Bei Le. Bei Le was in a daze when she saw the handsome hairdresser behind Bei Shuo. Bei Le couldn’t help but say, “My sister doesn’t know medicine!”
Mu Chen couldn’t stand it anymore and coughed heavily.
These women fell silent.
Bei Shuo was about to speak when Mu Ci squeezed her hand, indicating for her to listen to Grandpa.
Mu Chen said in a low voice, “Bei Shuo is my acknowledged granddaughter-in-law. She’s the legitimate Young Madam of the Mu Family. I won’t allow anyone to slander and bully her!”
The women were all stunned. They had different feelings.
Bei Shuo was extremely touched and her impetuousness calmed down. Grandpa and Mu Ci liked her. She didn’t need to care about anyone else, even her biological mother.
Duan Si and Song Nan weren’t surprised by the Old Master’s bias, but their disappointment and anger were real. Song Nan lowered her eyes, but Duan Si glared at Bei Shuo.
Shen Yu and Bei Le were shocked. No one knew better than them how unlikable Bei Shuo was after spending more than a month with her. It was precisely because they were clear about her words and actions and knew that she would definitely make the Mu Family look down on her that Shen Yu lowered her attitude and criticized Bei Shuo first.
Her goal was to make the Mu Family sympathize with her. She really had no choice with such an annoying daughter. She had disciplined her, but she failed. She had to make the Mu family acknowledge her as in-laws. No matter what, Mu Ci would be her son-in-law since he married Bei Shuo!
However, although this plan had worked, it did not have the expected effect.
“Alright! Let’s see how my culinary skills are.” Chen Hai broke the silence and proudly showed everyone, and Mu Ci Bei Shuo’s hair.
“Let me tell you guys that this girl is so good-looking. She’ll get extra points no matter how she dresses up or doesn’t dress up! I’m an out-and-out beauty fan! She’ll be my exclusive client from now on. I won’t allow you to take her to find another stylist. Do you hear me?” Chen Hai said to Mu Ci domineeringly.
Mu Ci said calmly, “Conditions?”
“Ah? Conditions? Mu Ci, can you be reasonable? I! Chen Hai! Not only did I not take a single cent from cutting your hair, but you’re also negotiating conditions with me?” Chen Hai was furious.
Mu Ci said calmly, “Then I’ll find another stylist.”
“Alright, alright. State your conditions.” Chen Hai surrendered.
Mu Ci stroked Bei Shuo’s hair and said calmly, “I haven’t thought about it. I’ll tell you when I’ve thought about it.”
Chen Hai was furious. “Hmph! I havelet you take advantage of me again. Sigh! It’s so rare for such good hair to not be permed or dyed. If not for my little sister, I wouldn’t have bothered with you!”
