Chapter 809: Because of You, I Look Forward to Marriage (9)
Sheng Jiayu bent down and just entered, before she even sat down, she saw a very cute girl in the front passenger seat turning her head to look at her.
Sheng Jiayu was slightly taken aback, and saw the girl raise a very bright smile: "Hello, sister-in-law. I’m Mu Xin."
Mu Xin?
This name circled in Sheng Jiayu’s mind twice and finally matched. This was the cousin Mu Ke spoke of, different fathers, different mothers, but like a real sister.
Sheng Jiayu also showed a smile: "Hello, I am Sheng Jiayu."
Mu Xin was very lively. She looked very cute, but perhaps because of attending the police academy, there was always a bit of heroic spirit in Mu Ke’s every move, making her appear even more lively and handsome.
Su Chen and Mu Ke had also sat inside. Seeing Mu Xin, Mu Ke was also taken aback: "Why are you here?"
Mu Xin pouted: "On New Year’s Eve, you left us to find sister-in-law, of course I had to come early to see what sister-in-law really looks like."
Sheng Jiayu could tell that Mu Xin had no intention of blaming. She was merely teasing someone’s New Year’s Eve behavior. Sheng Jiayu smiled uncomfortably, while Mu Ke calmly said, "Then why didn’t you get out of the car?"
Since they came to pick someone up, like Su Chen, getting out of the car was basic courtesy, especially since the person was the future sister-in-law. But Sheng Jiayu didn’t mind these things, she reached out and tugged on Mu Ke’s sleeve, signaling him not to act this way.
Then they heard Mu Xin’s extremely disdainful voice: "I don’t want to stand with Brother Su Chen. I don’t want to meet him today."
This immediately increased Sheng Jiayu’s affection for Mu Xin. She looked at Mu Xin and mouthed silently: "Me too."
Mu Xin clearly saw it, they exchanged a glance, and both burst into laughter.
The journey from the airport to the Mu Family’s home was only about forty minutes, but during those forty minutes, Mu Xin and Sheng Jiayu had already gone from their first meeting to feeling like old friends who had known each other for years.
Throughout the ride, it was basically them chatting, and Su Chen and Mu Ke had no chance to get a word in.
The more they chatted, the more enthusiastic they became. They had a lot in common, such as a love for spicy food, an interest in watching American dramas, and today, their mutual disdain for Su Chen’s outfit.
And through the deep interaction with Mu Xin, the lingering tension in Sheng Jiayu’s heart vanished completely.
The car quickly stopped at the Mu Family’s door, Mu Ke took a suitcase from the trunk, and Mu Xin was already holding Sheng Jiayu’s arm: "Brother, Brother Su Chen, you take your time. We’re going in first."
In the Mu Family living room, Ms. Wang and Mr. Mu were both there. Seeing them come in, smiles appeared on both their faces. Before Mu Ke could speak, Mu Xin had already introduced: "Dad, Mom. This is brother’s girlfriend, Sheng Jiayu."
"Hello, Uncle and Aunt."
Sheng Jiayu was gentle and polite, yet dignified and elegant. She was naturally beautiful, with great poise, giving a very good first impression.
Ms. Wang’s gaze discreetly assessed her from head to toe, unable to find a single flaw.
Her attire was appropriate and graceful, neither reserved nor ostentatious, clearly a well-bred girl.
When Mr. Mu saw her, he smiled, but when he heard her name, he was momentarily taken aback, though he said nothing.
Only when everyone sat down on the sofa did Mr. Mu finally speak: "Miss Sheng, if I may ask, are you the same Sheng Jiayu from the Shengshi Group?"
Sheng Jiayu was slightly surprised and instinctively glanced at Mu Ke. So, he hadn’t told them about her identity?
