"What kind of woman is she?" The old man spoke darkly, his gaze sharp like a sword.

However, Xu Meiyu did not notice, and continued to laugh: "Father, you still do not know, that in order to marry Muhan, she used up all her efforts. She forced Yu Yan away, and even pretended to be generous, such a woman, isn't she looking down on our Lin Family!"

"Hmph, do you mean that I have chosen the wrong person with my blurry eyes?" The old man's entire body was suffused with anger. When he heard someone speak of Mi Xue like that, he immediately became like a hedgehog.

"Dad, that's not what beautiful jade means, it's just what the outside world says!" Lin Junhao pulled Xu Meiyu, and couldn't help but explain.

"You say that when others say it?" The old man said imposingly, "The meaning behind your words is that Xue Xue Xue was married for money, so you aren't. How about I give Xue Xue Xue all of my wealth!"

"Dad!" Xu Meiyu was shocked, and instinctively shouted. Realizing that she had lost control of herself, she immediately lowered her voice and said guiltily, "I was, was …"

"Aiya, it's all my fault for opening my mouth." As he spoke, he made a gesture to pat his lips and turned to look at Mi Xue. "Mi Xue, you won't have a chance to meet your aunt, right?"

When the topic shifted to her, Michelle naturally could not say anything, so she could only nod.

Mi Xue had not interacted much with Lin Muhan's family members, as she had only interacted with her grandfather normally. She had only met the others briefly during the wedding ceremony.

All she knew was that his father had suddenly disappeared when he was ten. After that, his mother had locked him up in the temple and rarely showed her face. Other than Lin Junhao's uncle, his uncle Lin Junxian, and his aunt Lin Junqian, in order to prevent conflicts in their family's interests, the old man had split his family's business into several parts. Other than Lin Muhan who stayed behind to guard the group's headquarters, the rest of them were all allocated to other provinces and cities.

"Alright, who still doesn't know your thoughts. All of you better recognize it clearly. Muhan's wife is now Mi Xue, and the only thing she can do in the future is to be Mi Xue!" The old tutor swept his cold gaze across the crowd, exuding an imposing aura without the slightest hint of anger.

Mi Xue looked at Second Aunt who seemed to have admitted her wrongs, but in reality, her eyes were glaring at her.

She frowned slightly. From what she remembered, she didn't have much contact with Second Aunt, but she didn't know why Second Aunt seemed to be full of hostility towards her. She had disliked her ever since their marriage.

Mi Xue shook her head and decided not to think about it anymore. Perhaps some people were born with bad habits.

With this incident, everyone clearly understood how important Mi Xue was in the old man's heart, and no one dared to cause trouble for her. Following that, Lin Junxian and Lin Junqian also casually greeted Mi Xue and her family members.

On the surface, it seemed calm, but in reality, no one knew that the storm had already begun.

After the meal, the servants began to arrange the banquet area, and the several families returned to their rooms, a dark current surging about.

"Stay by my side for the dinner." Lin Muhan said to Mi Xue who was standing at the window and looking at the scenery.

"Hmm?" Michelle whispered, "Why?"

"All the clans seem to be in harmony with each other, but in reality, the darkness is decaying. You have to get used to it in the future." Lin Muhan said something in an indifferent tone that Mi Xue could not understand.

She still wanted to ask, but Lin Muhan had already picked up the computer and went to handle the documents outside.

Michelle was also very relaxed. She laid down on the sofa by the window and slightly squinted her eyes as she basked in the sunlight.

Compared to her comfort, the room upstairs was not as peaceful. Just as Lin Junhao and his family returned to the room, Xu Meiyu smashed his bag onto the sofa.

"Wife, what are you angry about?" Lin Junhao quickly comforted her.

"What's there to be angry about? Hmph, if you had grown a little stronger, would I have needed to be angry about it? "But now, a daughter-in-law of mine is on top of me." The more Xu Meiyu thought about it, the angrier she got, "Why is the old gramps so biased towards that woman? I only said this one sentence, and he actually scolded me in front of so many people!"

"Exactly, I think that Grandfather only has Lin Muhan in his eyes right now, where are our seats?" The Lin Family had been holding back their anger until now.

Their voices were ear-piercing. Instead, it was Lin Jia Qian who reminded them, "This is our old dwelling. We should keep a low profile."

"So what if I am? I can't let my little uncle and aunt endure this kind of anger." Lin Jia Ming shouted in indignation.

"Enough!" Although Xu Meiyu was in a bad mood, she was clear on the pros and cons of this situation, "Now, think about what you should do. If this goes on, all of your assets will end up in Lin Muhan's hands."

"Mom, didn't you say that he doesn't like that woman at all? Why does it seem different now?" The Lin Clan couldn't help but question him.

Hearing that, Xu Meiyu was also annoyed.

"When we were getting married, everyone could tell that Lin Muhan didn't like Mi Xue. Who knows what happened while we were gone." Lin Jia Qian said softly, "I think that woman's skills are not simple. Lin Muhan is not that easy to please."

For a moment, the room was silent.

"Lin Junhao, I say, you should think of something." Xu Meiyu couldn't think of anything, she could only vent her anger on Lin Junhao.

Lin Junhao then walked over to her side, "Wifey, aren't we under your control? If you can't do anything about it, what can I do about it? "Besides, if the old gramps wants to be biased, I can't set his heart at ease."

"What use do I need you for? At the most critical moments, let a woman like me think of a way!" Xu Meiyu was even more disappointed that she failed.

However, Lin Junhao didn't mind at all as he carefully coaxed his wife, "Wife, it's not a popular saying now, looks like it's worth something and responsibility is high. I don't need to rely on who you are from now on!"

These words made Xu Meiyu angry into a smile, and the whole family began to discuss.

"Mom, I think there's a way." Lin Jia Qian suddenly lowered her voice.

"What?"

"Didn't grandpa value Mi Xue? Lin Muhan doesn't have any interest in her, as long as you urge them to divorce each other, your grandfather's impression of Lin Muhan will be greatly reduced! "

This method made the originally anxious faces of the crowd brighten up in happiness. They pushed aside the haze and found an opening in an instant.

The noise dissipated, and the family was in a blissful mood.

The rest of the afternoon was spent in the room, except for Michelle. She left the room to chat with her grandfather. Although the difference in age was huge, it was still a topic of conversation that made the old man laugh.

"Xuexue, you and Muhan have been together for such a long time, shouldn't you have let my old man carry you?" The old tutor's tone suddenly changed.

Michelle froze on the spot, those bad memories welling up in her mind.

Once, she had looked forward to their marriage and the birth of a child. Even if he didn't love her, she could still rely on her child to live a good life.

But dreams were always so untouchable, and now she was awake, too.

Looking at the look in the old man's eyes, Mi Xue didn't know what to say.

"Grandfather, actually, me and him …."

"Actually, we had already planned to have children for a long time." Lin Muhan suddenly pushed the door and entered, taking over Mi Xue's words. After entering, he casually sat by Mi Xue's side, holding onto her shoulder, and used his hand to squeeze her skinny arm.

"Yes." Michelle lowered her head and answered with a guilty conscience.

She had wanted to probe him out while the old man was still happy, but she hadn't thought that Lin Muhan would actually come at such a good time.

"I say, grandpa, you're too old to ask her these questions. Even if you don't want to be ashamed, she'll be shy." Lin Muhan teased.

"I want to ask myself what's wrong with my daughter-in-law, it's not like it's shameful. You've been married for so long, it's about time you had a child!" The old tutor's face immediately flushed red, but he didn't budge an inch on the surface.

"That's right. I didn't think of it before, but now I understand it deeply!" Lin Muhan suddenly thought of something and agreed.

Mi Xue turned her head to the side. Looking at the man who was just inches away from her, her gaze was gentle. It was as though what she said just now was from the bottom of her heart.

Wake up!

When she came back to her senses, Michelle did not want herself to look at that heaven-defying face again. She was afraid that she would fall for it again.

Lin Muhan and the old man talked about some work matters while Mi Xue quietly listened from the side. All of her unhappiness seemed to have never happened, as though they were already this happy and happy from the start.

"Alright, it's about time. Let's go out." Lin Muhan raised his wrist to look at the time and stood up first.

As for Mi Xue, she supported the old man and the three of them walked out of the room. Coincidentally, they met Xu Meiyu and the others who were walking down the stairs.

She was too lazy to care about the emotions of these people. After all, if a person doesn't like you, she wouldn't like anything else.

Downstairs, all the members of the Lin Clan had gathered, and most of their belongings had been prepared as well. When they came down from upstairs, they naturally attracted most of the gazes and thus became the focus of the entire audience.

"I just said that I didn't see Muhan and Mi Xue. So you guys had secretly gone to look for Dad." Xu Meiyu was already angry, but seeing that they were the center of attention, he, herself, as a supporting role, became even more jealous.

Just as he finished speaking, the old man's gaze swept over him and a soundless pressure spread outwards. Xu Meiyu pulled back her neck, and did not dare to speak anymore.

"Alright, it's about time. I don't want anything to happen today that will make me unhappy!" The old tutor said coldly, his warning was quite strong.

Xu Meiyu held onto Lin Junhao's hand tightly, and fiercely pinched his wrist. He was in so much pain that he furrowed his brows, his facial features contorted yet he did not dare to make a sound, and could only silently endure.

Outside the door, guests were arriving in droves one after another. The lordmaster and the others began to deal with them.

"Grandfather, happy birthday!"

A voice with a hint of evil could be heard. Everyone's expressions changed slightly, and the old tutor's face grew even darker, as if he were holding back his anger.

Mi Xue curiously looked in the direction of the voice. It was a man who looked somewhat similar to Lin Muhan.
