Chapter 810: Because of You, I Look Forward to Marriage (10)
Mu Ke looked calm, and Sheng Jiayu quickly regained her composure, honestly confessing, "Uncle, I’m that Sheng Jiayu."
Mr. Mu’s expression froze for a moment, and Ms. Wang brought some fruit from the kitchen, seeing them staring at each other, she laughed and said, "Why is no one speaking? What’s got you all dazed?"
After speaking, she looked at Sheng Jiayu, "Jiayu, don’t be restrained, just treat this place like your own home."
"Thank you, Aunt."
Sheng Jiayu was humble and polite, Mr. Mu looked at her for a few seconds and closed his mouth again.
At noon, everyone casually ate something, and Mr. Mu asked Mu Ke to take Sheng Jiayu out for a walk, with the pretext of touring S City.
Mu Ke took Sheng Jiayu to S City’s most bustling Times Square, an international metropolis, still lively even though it was the third day of the New Year.
The two walked slowly along the street, their fingers interlocked.
Sheng Jiayu asked, "Didn’t you tell your family about my identity? Why?"
Mu Ke responded, "I want to marry you."
The implication being: I want to marry you, so your identity doesn’t matter, and whether they know or not is irrelevant.
Meanwhile, at the Mu Family.
After Mr. Mu asked Mu Ke to take Sheng Jiayu out, Ms. Wang glared at him in mild reproach, "Really, Mu Ke and Jiayu just got back and you’re sending them out, they caught an early flight this morning, they’re tired."
Mr. Mu spoke heavily, "Do you know who this Miss Sheng is?"
Mu Xin was eating a dragon fruit when she heard Mr. Mu’s words, freezing in motion.
Mr. Mu had always been a loving father, rarely speaking in such serious tones, Ms. Wang paused as well, "What’s the matter? Is there a problem?"
Mr. Mu hesitated and then spoke solemnly, "Miss Sheng from the Shengshi Group, the eldest daughter of the Sheng Family, someone our family cannot aspire to associate with."
Ms. Wang, a university professor, has spent her life immersed in academics, entirely unaware of other matters. Mu Xin, the fastest to react, took out her phone and started searching, then placed the results in front of Ms. Wang.
For a moment, none of the three spoke.
What is the Shengshi Group, it’s an existence ordinary people wouldn’t consider themselves in the same dimension with, though the Mu Family is not bad, yet it’s still not on the same level as it.
Mu Xin bit into a dragon fruit again and said, "Actually, it’s not such a big deal, as long as brother likes her, and I see Sister Sheng quite likes brother too, she doesn’t have any airs."
Mr. Mu sighed again, "Being well-matched in social status is important."
Mu Xin frowned in disagreement, wondering what era it was that still focused on social equality?
Ms. Wang, however, agreed with her husband’s viewpoint, their intention was for Mu Ke to find someone somewhat comparable, even if there was a difference, it should be the girl’s family being a bit lesser, they didn’t despise it, but hoped their son would have dignity.
But now, Mu Ke has chosen someone who is so vastly different from them.
The Mu Family’s situation isn’t bad, and Mu Ke is outstanding, yet compared to the Sheng Family, they’re still too, too ordinary.
"Like this, when Mu Ke returns, we’ll have a proper talk with him."
A noise at the door broke the silence in the living room, a bright figure walked gracefully in.
Yang Yushan wore a beautiful smile, carrying a large bag, "Uncle, Aunt, I made some cookies, brought them for you to try."
