“You agreed?”
Stunned, Mei Qingyuan asked again, somewhat unbelieving.
Although he and the old man of the Jing family were on good terms, it didn’t mean this young chap would give him face.
Thinking this way, Mei Qingyuan’s gaze inexplicably drifted towards Mu Lin, who currently had a chilly expression while looking at a certain man.
He hooked the corner of his mouth.
It seemed like there really was a chance!
After instructing the two dimwits to head home first, Jing Chen and Mu Lin followed Mei Qingyuan toward the Mei Family’s residence.
…
The Mei house was already bustling inside and out.
At this moment.
“Old Jiang.”
“My lady, do you have something to see to?” Upon hearing the call, the busy Butler Jiang immediately dropped what he was doing and hastily walked over to the old lady of the Mei Family.
“Prepare two more chairs and place them next to… the old master.” The old lady of Mei family pondered before instructing.
“Next to the old master?” Butler Jiang subconsciously confirmed once again.
He couldn’t help but be curious. He wondered if there was a VIP coming, as they have been arranged to sit next to the old master.
“Yes, it is the old master’s wish.” Although it was somewhat unconventional, seeing the old master happy was enough.
“Understood. Since it comes directly from the old master, we can’t neglect his instructions.”
He didn’t know who was coming, but aside from a few old masters, hardly anyone had such qualifications. However, he heard that those old masters were not coming this time.
Since it was a minor birthday celebration, the old master just wanted to have a family dinner.
Despite these thoughts, Butler Jiang didn’t dare delay in arranging it as asked.
Then.
At the dinner table.
Mu Lin calmly endured the curious gazes from everyone at the table while she leisurely savored her food.
Coming here indeed has been a mistake.
She still preferred eating alone.
…
“Miss Mu.” A gentle voice reached Mu Lin’s ears, causing her to look up at the old lady of Mei family opposite to her. “Hmm?” Why was she being called now, was she eating too much?
“May I call you that?” Seeing the slightly puzzled expression on Mu Lin’s face, the old lady asked.
“As you wish.” It was just a formality anyway.
“Alright then, Miss Mu.” The old lady called her Miss Mu with evident joy, but Mu Lin responded with helplessness.
She didn’t know why the other party kept addressing her that way.
“Don’t hold back while you’re in the Mei family. Think of it as your home and eat more.” Upon seeing Mu Lin for the first time, she thought to herself, this is a pleasing and good child.
“Okay.” She wasn’t being reserved at all. Besides, she wouldn’t want her own home to be like this—so many eyes staring at her and Jing Chen, instead of eating their food.
Upon arriving, they had introduced themselves, so Mu Lin and Jing Chen finally knew each other’s names.
Jing Chen simply ate his food, meeting the curious gazes with a casual glance that instantaneously disappeared.
No one could compete with him in terms of suppressing people with just his eyes.
Listening to the interaction, perhaps no one else could fathom Mu Lin, but he had a certain understanding of her.
Mu Lin was the Poison Doctor, always living among the mountains. She mainly had a blue sea snake for company. Perhaps she once had a family member taking care of her, but it was likely that the person was no longer there; now she was simply not suited to the feeling of eating at the same table like this.
Dealing with such enthusiasm was… a bit hard for her.
Strangely enough, a faint smile graced the corner of his mouth, again attracting several curious and surprised gazes.
Jing Chen, he could actually smile!
The looks came from several grandchildren of Mei Qingyuan.
For them, someone their age with the qualifications to sit next to Mei Qingyuan piqued their extreme curiosity from the start.
However, Jing Chen appeared too cold, and the cold demeanor was somewhat frightening to them.
But luckily, Mu Lin seemed to be the complete opposite of Jing Chen, appearing more approachable.
…
“Miss Mu, the old man told me you saved Jing Chen’s life. When did you meet?” The more she looked at these two, the more compatible they seemed. She was certain that old man Jing would also like them.
“I can’t remember.”
“A week ago.”
The two almost replied simultaneously. Even though the question seemed to be targeting Mu Lin, it didn’t matter who answered.
Mu Lin glanced at the man beside her, her gaze clearly saying four words.

Mind your own business.
Jing Chen raised an eyebrow.
“A week ago, talk about fate.” Seeing the interaction between the two, the smile on the old lady’s face deepened.
Fate, or perhaps a karmic destiny.
Mu Lin snorted again.
“Indeed it’s fate.” However, Jing Chen seemed to be blatantly going against her, blatantly disagreeing with her.
The first time they met, he lost face. But now, it seemed like he was reclaiming the face he had lost.
Seeing the subtle changes in Mu Lin’s face, Jing Chen was quite… pleased.
Upon looking at Jing Chen, Mei Qingyuan certainly hadn’t seen him in any other states other than being indifferent. It seems like these two really have a chance together.
His intuition had been spot on.
His gaze swept over his own children with a sigh on his lips.
Jing Chen had indeed grown up under his eye, and he was certainly grateful for this realization, but overall, feelings of disappointment were undeniable. After all, the family water flowed into the fields of outsiders.
However, he knew that none of his own children were worthy of Mu Lin or could possibly even match her.
Well… he was certainly self-aware of his shortcomings.
