Chapter 77: The speaker is insincere but the listener is sympathetic

  Chapter 77: The speaker is unintentional, but the listener is intentional.

  I'm extremely sorry that I've stopped updating for half a month. Doudou's resignation was quite sudden, and it was a temporary decision, so after resigning, she immediately went to Guangzhou, and now she's in Hainan. She just settled down on the 29th and got her internet connection set up, but there are still many things to take care of. To be honest, none of the tasks at hand have been completed yet, it's just that some time has become available, and I'm really sorry about this.

  Shen Han's words successfully shifted Mu Baiyu's attention, and he raised his eyes to glance at Shen Han. Although there was a slight movement in his eyes, it was still impossible to tell what he was thinking, and Shen Han couldn't help but think to himself: This is indeed the way of an official, even if you looked closely, you can't tell what he's thinking. Yezi Youyou

  However, Mu Baiyou's estrangement did not affect Mrs. Mu's enthusiasm, she still warmly entertained Shen Han, making Shen Han's initial awkwardness gradually disappear. However, it was strange that from the moment she met Mr. and Mrs. Mu until now, she had never seen Mu Siyao exchange a word with his father, and both of them were icy-faced, could it be that they didn't get along as parent and child?

  Hmph... If only I had known, I would have dug deeper into the relationship between him and his father. But thinking again, Shen Huan felt that she was getting a bit too into character, whether Mu Siyao got along with his dad or not didn't seem to have much to do with her after all. So she could only awkwardly smile, but her eyes still involuntarily drifted towards Mu Siyao.

  "Are you tired?"

  As soon as Shen Huan's gaze met his, Mu Siyao finally opened her mouth, but it was unclear whether she was trying to help or intentionally stir up trouble. As soon as the words left her lips, the two elderly men, who had not been paying much attention to her, suddenly turned their heads and looked over, even the maid beside them cast a glance at Shen Huan. She felt like she had a fishbone stuck in her throat, unsure of what to say or how to speak.

  "It's okay, otherwise you accompany your uncle and aunt first, I'll go back to my room to rest for a while."

  After finishing speaking, Shen Huan also gave a signal to Mu Siyao, hinting that she should hold back her own parents for a moment so that she could slip away. However, she didn't expect Mu Siyao to not give her any face and directly say: "Then I'll accompany you over."

  "No... never mind."

  "Listen"

  At this time, Mu Siyao had already walked to Shen Huan's side, with an aura that made it impossible for her to resist him. Shen Huan silently scolded him hundreds of times in her heart, before reluctantly turning around and following him. Mu Siyao took the lead, walking ahead of her to guide the way.

  The two who had already left naturally did not know that after they turned around, the two old men's faces simultaneously showed a smile.

  "Hey, what were you just doing trying to make things difficult for me?"

  As soon as she entered the room, Shen Huan saw that Mu Siyao didn't have any maids following behind her. She didn't even bother to close the door and directly asked out loud, although she was also a bit curious why there were no maids accompanying him. Shouldn't families like theirs always have servants waiting on them at all times? Was Mu Siyao so unpopular at home that even the servants didn't want to serve him?

  At this thought, she couldn't help but cast a contemptuous glance, although she knew that her thoughts were fundamentally impossible. Even if Mu Siyao was indeed a very annoying person, after all, servants are still just servants; only the masters have the right to choose whether or not they want them to serve, where is there any logic in servants choosing their own masters to serve?

  "When did I ever make things difficult for you?"

  Mo Siyao had his arms crossed, exuding an air of extreme confidence, which made Shen Huan wonder if he was bipolar. Just now, in front of his parents, he was as cold as ice, as if someone owed him a huge debt. Now, however, when facing her alone, he transformed into a completely different person, with a cocky attitude. Did he think she, Shen Huan, was easy to bully? Where did this excessive self-love come from?

  "Your parents have arrived, why don't you talk to them? I don't know them at all, do you know how awkward I just felt?"

  Looking at Mu Siyao's still nonchalant expression, Shen Huan had already clenched her small fist in preparation under her sleeve, enduring the urge to swing it without actually doing so. Meanwhile, Mu Siyao casually walked over to the table and sat down, patting the spot in front of him and nodding his chin at Shen Huan, signaling for her to come sit. Ye Ziyu

  "There's actually nothing to be nervous about, we've already met, haven't we?"

  As for Mu Siyuan's careless attitude, Shen Huan really had no way to deal with it. It was impossible for him to actually throw a punch at him. Besides, these were his parents, and he himself wasn't anxious about it. Why should he be anxious like an ant on a hot pot? It would be pointless and unhelpful.

  "Mu Siyao, don't you get along with your parents?"

  Shen Han's words, however, brought a look of surprise from Mu Siyao. He seemed to have never thought that she would ask such a question. Shen Han was also puzzled by his reaction, and the two exchanged a glance. Shen Han pouted and avoided his gaze, not saying anything. After all, this could be considered prying into someone else's family affairs, so it wasn't surprising that he reacted this way. On the contrary, she, the one who had been snooping around, felt inexplicably guilty.

  "Why say that?"

  "It's just that you guys seem quite distant from each other, earlier you and your dad didn't even exchange a single word."

  In front of Mu Siyao, from the moment they met, Shen Huan could speak freely. Although at first she mistakenly thought he was some kind of underworld figure due to her own misunderstanding, their subsequent interactions made her completely unguarded around him. Therefore, even now when discussing his family relationships, Shen Huan could naturally stand on a friend's perspective and talk with him without feeling uncomfortable.

  "Shen Han, you may not understand that many times the interaction between fathers and sons is different from that of mothers and daughters. Mothers and daughters can hold hands and talk heart to heart, but fathers and sons may become stern lectures. However... this difference is only because they express their concern for us in different ways. I know my father cares about me, and I also know his expectations of me. He knows I will work hard to meet his expectations. This is the communication between fathers and sons, no need to say it out loud."

  Upon hearing this, Shen Huan was also stunned. After listening to Mu Siyao's words and rethinking the situation earlier, Shen Huan felt that there might be some truth to it. Although the father and son didn't communicate, when their eyes met, they didn't show any sparks of parental conflict. Perhaps... they were a pair of parent and child who could understand each other without needing words.

  "You and your mother didn't exchange many words either?"

  Although she had already agreed with Mu Siyao's words in her heart, Shen Huan's unyielding personality wouldn't allow her to compromise so easily. She naturally wanted to struggle a bit more. Mu Siyao also understood what she was thinking and just smiled, seemingly intentionally yet seriously saying: "Aren't I giving you the opportunity to get along with my mother?"

  As the saying goes, "the speaker is unintentional, but the listener is intentional." As soon as Mu Siyao spoke, Shen Huan's face immediately showed a very uncomfortable expression. Her face even turned red, and she said with a hint of shyness: "What do you mean by 'I have a good relationship with your mother'?"

  It's not unreasonable for Shen Huan to feel uneasy, after all, Mu Siyao had said something that made her blush and her heart skip a beat not long ago - the words about wanting to marry her. She couldn't forget them, nor did she want to. Now, hearing him say this, Shen Huan didn't dare to think crookedly, nor was there any reason for her to do so.

  While Mu Siyao was saying this, he didn't think much of it, but Shen Huan's tense expression piqued his interest, and an evil thought arose, curling up the corner of his lips...
