"So Yinan, can I start the computer lessons with little Xinyan now?"
Teacher Bei asked. After all, which teacher wouldn't want to teach a genius like her .
"Don't worry Teacher Bei, I would like to teach her computer by myself. After all, I work in the business sector and use computers a lot so I will teach her "
Mu Yinan really wanted to spend some quality time with her and this was the perfect chance.
Xiner, who just walked in, was quite unhappy. If her father would teach Xinyan now and that meant, he would teach her at night since that was when he was free. But at night was the only time she got to spend with her father. What time would she have to spend with her father now ?
"Tell me my princess, what is it ? Why does my princess look so gloomy ?"
Mu Yinan asked when he noticed his daughter's gloomy look. Mu Xinyan pursed her lips as she heard her father refer to Xiner as his princess.
They were so close, yet her and her father were still so far apart.
"Father, if you start teaching Xinyan every night, there won't be enough time for me to spend with you. You'll be tired once you're done teaching her " Xiner said as she held her father's sleeve looking really pitiful
"Don't worry princess, I'll always make out time for you okay"
"Yes father" Xiner said reluctantly. Why couldn't he just let Teacher Bei teach her instead ?
Shen Yue felt really bad. Yinan noticed Xiner even when she didn't notice her but she failed to do anything when Xinyan was sad. She felt like she had failed as a mother to Xinyan.
Teacher Bei said his goodbyes and then left after advising the Mu Family to pay special attention to Xinyan's education and nurture her well and also encouraged Mu Xinyan to study harder when school starts.
As soon as he left, mother Mu came in with Xia .
"Mother welcome, where did you go ?" Mu Yinan asked mother Mu who just came in. I'm coming from the home of my friend from the Zhou family. Xia's friend is from the Zhou family too, they attend the same school and are in the same class so I brought him along "
"Wenna why didn't you tell me I would have wanted to come along too " Father Mu said because he and Father Zhou are business partners .
"Oh so this girl's tantrum is over now she should have continued starving herself. Maybe she would have been dead and I wouldn't be so worried about our family's reputation, " Mother Mu said with a scornful look .
"MOTHER!!
"WENNA!!"
Both Mu Yinan and father Mu shouted at mother Mu.
"Mother, aren't you afraid that if she dies her ghost will haunt you?" Mu Yinan said with a very tired expression on his face. He looked visibly exhausted.
"Xinyan, don't listen to grandmother, we all want you to live a long healthy life and stay in our family forever"
Mu Yinan walked over to where Xinyan was sitting, which made Xiner, whose hand was on his sleeve, feel bad.
Did he even remember she was holding his hand, he just shook it off so harshly just now ?
"Do you all see ? This is how my son talks to me now, this disrespectful child is spreading her spores, we can't have a disrespectful child in our family, she'll ruin our reputation " Mother Mu said with an aggrieved tone.
"But grandma you were in the wrong" Xia said
"Shut up, both of you! What do you know? look now everyone is against me. When this girl wasn't around everyone respected me now do you see. she is so ...."
"Enough Wenna "elder Mu, who just walked downstairs with the help of the butler said sternly before Mother Mu could finish her statement.
"Wenna this will be the last time you do anything wrong to this child . Understood?"
"Yes father " she knew how the elder could look like when he lost his temper . She could only hold in her anger for now and went upstairs angrily. Elder Mu sat on a couch.
"Yanyan , come to great grandfather, " Elder Mu said, gesturing for Xinyan to come towards him
"Now child you shouldn't listen to your grandmother, don't take her words to heart. She is just angry and stressed . When you get to know her, she is actually very sweet. I'm sure she'll warm up to you very soon. We are one family, you are part of our family now and we all love you so much "
"Alright great grandfather"
