Chapter 219 Did I arrive at the wrong time?
They didn't say anything, they just came in and asked directly.
Furthermore, Mu Li'an gave Mu Niannian the worst possible look.
With so many guests present, they were all looking towards the main table.
Instantly, Mu Niannian's face flushed, and her palms sweated involuntarily.
She was panicking, wondering if Mu Lian knew something, but she kept telling herself to calm down.
Looking up with innocent eyes at Mu Lian, she asked, "Brother, what's wrong? What did I do to you?"
what did I do?
I don't know.
Habits are hard to change. Zong Lanfang still protected Mu Niannian, stood up from her seat, and questioned Mu Li'an, "Li'an, what's wrong with you?"
Why did they suddenly target Niannian without any explanation?
She stayed by my side the whole day, without doing anything.
Mu Li'an couldn't hear what Zong Lanfang was saying at all. He had a strong premonition that Song Beiyou hadn't arrived yet because of Mu Niannian's little tricks.
After all, having enjoyed twenty years of wealth and status taken away in a single day would be a huge blow to someone as narrow-minded as Mu Niannian.
When the gap is too large, they will definitely try every means to maximize their own interests.
The best and safest approach is to kill the witness to silence them.
The thought that his newly recognized younger sister might be gone was heartbreaking, and all he wanted to do was kill the most suspicious person, Mu Niannian.
"Didn't do it!" Mu Lian scoffed. "What about Youyou?"
A look of horror flashed in Mu Niannian's eyes. "I don't know. Why are you asking me?"
Brother, you're really weird.
Mu Huaishan quickly walked to Mu Li'an's side and grabbed his arm, "Li'an, stop making a fuss, Niannian really doesn't know."
With so many people watching, we need to reassure the guests first.
Mu Li'an, however, refused to back down. He stepped forward and grabbed Mu Niannian's coat without regard for the occasion, his tone cold and harsh, "Did you do something to my sister?"
The words "my sister" are so jarring.
It has deeply penetrated Mu Niannian's heart.
She had never been so cared for by Mu Li'an in the previous twenty years.
"Brother!" Mu Niannian raised her voice, "What exactly are you questioning about me?"
You think it's my fault that Song Beiyou hasn't shown up yet, right? You think I'm the reason she hasn't appeared, right?
“That’s right!” Mu Niannian shouted, but Mu Li’an shouted even louder.
With a soft thud, tears streamed down Mu Niannian's face. She said with great grievance, "I know I've taken twenty years of Miss Song's life of wealth and comfort, but you can't be so unreasonable as to pin a fabricated story on me."
This is really unfair to me!
I've said it before, I can leave the Mu family at any time. Just give the word, and I'll leave without taking a single penny.
"I only beg you, brother, to leave me with a clean record before I leave!"
The banquet hall was quiet; everyone's attention was focused on Mu Niannian.
Aside from a few members of the Mu family, it seemed that very few people could show any sympathy or pity.
Some even started eating sunflower seeds to enjoy the show.
Sure enough, Jia Buxiu, Duan Yu, and Qin Shuyao were eating melon seeds and watermelon at the same time.
Sitting at their table, Old Madam Duan frowned in disapproval, "This young lady has quite a strong odor."
"What does it taste like?" Qin Shuyao asked.
Madam Duan said, "Green tea, it's so strong, how can you not smell it?"
Qin Shuyao understood, "I can smell it, I can smell it."
Gu Ling shared the same sentiment as Old Madam Duan. She peeled a peanut and put it in her mouth, saying, "I must say, Mu Niannian's personality is quite similar to your sister's; they're both rather annoying."
Zongzheng Qi's expression was not good because of Mu Niannian's words just now.
However, upon hearing Gu Ling speak to him, he immediately changed his attitude, saying, "As long as I'm a good person, my sister's affairs have nothing to do with me."
"Hehe..." Gu Ling looked at him and sneered, lowering her voice, "Remember, the reason I'm here with you today is to support Youyou and give her face. Other than that, we are just exes, people of the past."
So, well, you should understand.
Zongzheng Qi did not reply, but his eyes clearly told Gu Ling that he did not understand.
The crowd continued watching the show and waiting for Song Beiyou.
Zong Lanfang, whom Gu Ling had labeled as annoying, stood up and protected Mu Niannian, saying, "Li'an, are you crazy? Putting aside the occasion, Niannian is your little sister who grew up with you. I'm very disappointed by what you're doing."
"Quickly, apologize to Niannian, otherwise everyone will misunderstand her."
With Zong Lanfang's support, Mu Niannian no longer held back and turned to leave, saying, "Mom, I'm leaving, I'm leaving right now."
I've had enough of being wronged and ignored.
"Niannian, Niannian." Zong Lanfang followed closely behind Mu Niannian, reaching out to grab her tightly, "Come back, don't go."
"Nian Nian..."
Amidst cries and shouts, the back door of the banquet hall was opened.
The noise was quite loud, attracting everyone's attention.
The back door was backlit, so only the outlines of a man and a woman could be seen, but it was still unclear who they were.
Then the woman's voice rang out, "This mother and daughter are so affectionate, did I come at the wrong time?"
At a single word, all the expectant "old acquaintances" stood up.
"long!"
"Youyou, you've finally arrived?"
"Why did it take so long, Youyou?"
"I thought you were planning to leave since you weren't coming."
......
Everyone chimed in with their own opinions, creating a lively and bustling atmosphere.
At this moment, as the two figures approached, the light stopped shining against them, and Song Beiyou and Duan Yao appeared in everyone's sight.
Song Beiyou's hand was held tightly by Duan Yao, not a single inch of it could be separated.
A perfect couple, the man noble and the woman elegant, standing together they are a sight to behold.
The huge banquet hall finally came to life and feel festive.
Some members of the Mu family breathed a sigh of relief, especially Old Master Mu, whose face had almost been shattered because of the commotion caused by Mu Niannian and Mu Li'an.
Mu Qianyun, who had remained silent until now, was overjoyed and even cried tears of happiness.
Zong Lanfang breathed a sigh of relief, but not much, and her feelings were still mixed with resentment towards Song Beiyou.
It's her fault for arriving late, and it's her fault for causing Mu Niannian to be humiliated in public.
I wanted to yell at her, but I knew the occasion wasn't right, so I forced myself to keep quiet.
Mu Niannian reacted strangely. The moment she saw who it was, she screamed and retreated.
As she retreated, one of her high heels slipped, causing her to fall backward and crash heavily to the ground, looking utterly pathetic.
Most of the people present were intelligent, and this contrast and reaction made everyone feel that something was wrong.
Needless to say, Song Beiyou's face was full of amusement. "Does Miss Mu Niannian's reaction mean she doesn't like me coming?"
"It's okay, don't rush. If I don't like it, I'll leave."
