The Sweet Life of Superstar and His Goddess Wife-Chapter 43 - 0: Capital City Mu Family
Chapter 43 - 043: Capital City Mu Family
Ever since Mu Bai entered the police station, she lost all contact with the outside world.
She was in utter despair: Could it be that Grandpa had really given up on her?
At this moment, Mu Bai felt a bit regretful. If she had known it would turn out like this, she shouldn't have acted in that drama or that movie. Then she wouldn't have been jealous of that bitch named Zhao Minmin and wouldn't have wanted to harm her.
It's all that bitch's fault!
Damn it! She wanted to make a move but hadn't had the chance yet.
Just as she was gritting her teeth, a policeman suddenly said someone had bailed her out.
Could it be Grandpa?! Mu Bai was instantly delighted.
It seemed that Grandpa only said he was giving up on her and wouldn't care about her anymore, but in fact, he still sent someone to handle things.
Boohoo... From now on, she must take good care of Grandpa and never make him angry again.
As it turned out, to Mu Bai's surprise, when she got outside, the person who came to bail her out was a mysterious woman. She was wearing a robe with a white plum blossom design full of ancient charm. Her petite face had delicate features radiating an ethereal aura of "admire from afar, don't dare to disrespect."
Moreover, the most important thing is that this woman didn't even seem to be of age yet, did she?
Mu Bai was somewhat dumbfounded. This person was obviously not a lawyer; why did Grandpa send such an unreliable person to bail her out?
"Let's go!" Mu Qiuniang looked at Mu Bai, who had been locked up for days and whose spirits had been clearly dampened, and said coldly.
For younger generations like this, who are disobedient and only know how to cause trouble, she really couldn't muster any fondness.
Hmph! If she weren't her brother's descendant, she wouldn't bother to care!
Mu Bai thought Grandpa would send a nice car for her, but as soon as she got out, this woman actually called a taxi. Mu Bai was immediately displeased, was someone of her status supposed to ride in a taxi?
"You dare let me sit in a car like this?!" Mu Bai looked shocked.
Mu Qiuniang's face turned cold, releasing a chilling aura: "Get in the car!"
Mu Bai instantly felt frozen, a chill ran through her body, and she didn't dare say a word, obediently getting into the car. Boohoo... Mom, this woman is terrifying! She wants to go home.
The taxi stopped in front of a desolate small courtyard with a hint of a four-sided courtyard style. The walls were covered with green moss, and from the top of the wall protruded a cluster of unknown red flowers in full bloom.
"Where is this?" Mu Bai cautiously looked at this woman. She always felt a strange unease, as if just saying the wrong word would earn her a slap from this woman.
How fierce.
But clearly, this woman wasn't even taller than she was, with a face the size of a palm, as petite as she could be. Yet, this was the exact cold-faced woman who gave Mu Bai the feeling of facing a school principal ready to reprimand her for a mistake.
In front of her, Mu Bai's momentum inexplicably weakened.
Boohoo... In the past, people were the ones afraid of her.
Mu Qiuniang did not speak, giving her a look that said, "You talk too much," even though she hadn't spoken a word all the way there and she had only just asked this one question.
"Get in!"
A cold voice came, and the dazed Mu Bai hurriedly went inside.
This courtyard was truly deserted, with many rooms but no people. Moreover, there were no other residences nearby. This woman brought her here, was she planning to "dispose of her body"?
Mu Bai felt uneasy inside.
"You will live here from now on."
Sure enough, she heard the woman speak coldly.
"Who... are you?" She had doubted that this woman might have been sent by that bitch, but this woman's aura was too strong, she simply didn't seem like someone that bitch could "control."
So, was she sent by Grandpa?
Secretly, Mu Bai felt a bit happy. If she was sent by Grandpa, it means Grandpa hasn't given up on her, she was still the eldest lady of the Mu family.
A bit of happiness crept onto her face.
"What are you happy about?"
"Uh..." Mu Bai said, "Weren't you sent by my Grandpa?"
"No."
"Then you are..."
"Your Grandpa would have to call me Grand-Aunt."
Mu Qiuniang counted, Mu Bai's Grandpa was the grandson of her brother's grandson, spanning over a dozen generations; the kinship was somewhat distant, so the address was indeed awkward.
To make things easier, she'd let them all call her Grand-Aunt.
Mu Qiuniang thought lowering her seniority was nothing, but to Mu Bai's ears, it sounded just like an insult — I'm your grand-aunt!
Mu Bai bristled, as if ready to fight a rooster.
"Grand your head, my Grandpa is the elder, no, my Grandpa is the Grand-Uncle..."
Why did this phrase feel such a tongue-twister?
But this damn woman actually dared to insult her Grandpa, taking advantage of her Grandpa, it was really too much. Even if she "saved" her, it wasn't right.
Mu Qiuniang frowned slightly, very displeased: "As a descendant of the Mu family, you have no manners at all."
Then, as soon as the words fell, her hand raised behind her back, and with a "slap," a whip landed on Mu Bai's butt.
"Ah..." Mu Bai screamed, jumping up and down.
Damn it! When did this woman get a whip, why didn't she see it?
"You dare hit me?!" Mu Bai was very shocked, "You damn woman..."
Mu Qiuniang said nothing, just whipped her again on the leg: "Call me Grand-Aunt."
"I won't call you, not ever, you damn woman, don't think you can take advantage of me..." Mu Bai yelled and jumped around.
It wasn't that she didn't want to run out or seize the whip from this woman, but she found that she couldn't even approach the courtyard gate, let alone this woman.
No matter how she ran or jumped, she stayed under the woman's whip.
She was a total mess, worse than a beggar, yet this woman stood there leisurely, not even moving her feet, as if she was just admiring flowers.
Boohoo... It was like meeting a ghost!
"Let me tell you, I'm the eldest lady of the Capital City's Mu family, you dare treat me like this, the Mu family will certainly not let you go..."
Mu Bai's voice was hoarse as she threatened with all her might.
Mu Qiuniang was even more displeased, always causing trouble, plotting against others' lives, and now daring to tarnish her brother's hard-won Mu family reputation, it was simply outrageous.
No wonder back then, when her brother passed away, he emphatically reminded her to give his descendants a hand in a few hundred years.
Hmph! With descendants like this, no wonder her brother was so uneasy back then.
See, even after being dead for hundreds of years, he still had to worry about his descendants.
"Ouch, please stop hitting, it hurts so much..."
"Boohoo... I beg you, stop hitting!"
"Boohoo... I'll call you, okay? Grand-Aunt..."
"Grand-Aunt, stop hitting, I was wrong, I really know I was wrong..."
