Chapter 226: She Is Acting Just Like Her Mother Back Then

What could Mu Xingyu do?

There was no way they could give Mu Siyin a proper lesson with Old Madam Mu at home.

She tightened her fist and said with hatred, “Mu Siyin got lucky this time!”

As soon as Mu Siyin was upstairs, she shut the doors behind her and let out a long sigh. She then walked to the cabinet, took out her mother’s relic box, and opened the box with a key.

Her mother was an exceptional jewelry designer who had a precious collection of cla.s.sic treasures.

If Mu Siyin had taken this box of treasures to an auction, she would have been a rich woman by now.

She took out a velvet brocade box that was royal blue in color and opened it to see an exquisite jade pendant inside.

She raised her eyebrow and smiled. “This is it.”

She decided that she would take this back to Uncle Zhong. Without lingering any longer, she returned the things to their original place and headed downstairs.

Mu Xingyu and Li Tongzhi were nowhere to be seen in the living room. They were probably too angry and had gone back to their rooms to sulk over the situation.

When Old Madam Mu saw that Mu Siyin was heading out again, she called out to stop her. “Yinyin, your mother’s death anniversary is two days later. Do come home on time.”

Mu Siyin was surprised.

This was the first time Old Madam Mu mentioned her mother’s death anniversary.

She had been spending all the previous years alone.

She stopped in her tracks and sneered. “Grandma, did the sun rise from the west today?”

Old Madam Mu meaningfully replied, “If you think it did, then so be it.”

Mu Siyin mocked, “Is it? If the sun really did rise from the west, then something odd must be happening.”

Old Madam Mu was not angry despite her words. She simply narrowed her eyes as she said, “We don’t talk about the past, but it doesn’t mean that we don’t remember it. Since you understand, then I won’t say too much. Go on ahead.”

Mu Siyin knew what the Old Madam was plotting.

Old Madam Mu had hypocritically reminded her of her mother’s death anniversary just to calm her down and have her maintain the relations.h.i.+p between Mu Corporation and Tengyue.

With that, Mu Siyin replied with a nod and left.

Upon seeing this, the Old Madam’s expression darkened immediately.

In this entire Mu family, even Mu Heyuan was respectful towards her, and Mu Siyin used to be as well. Yet now…

She was acting just like her mother back then!

How despicable!

When Mu Siyin returned to s.h.i.+ Beiyu’s villa, Uncle Zhong was already waiting for her.

The moment he saw Mu Siyin, he quickly came to her side and smiled eagerly. “Little Siyin! You’re back so soon!”

Mu Siyin chuckled. “I purposely went back to get the present, and I didn’t want to waste time.”

Uncle Zhong’s curiosity grew. “Ah! Hurry up! Let me see what treasure it is.”

Mu Siyin looked at Uncle Zhong and asked, “Uncle Zhong, do you really like to study these things?”

Uncle Zhong immediately raised his chin and pulled out the magnifying gla.s.s hanging on his neck. “Of course! What do you take my magnifying gla.s.s for? It has seen more treasures than you.”

Mu Siyin smiled. “You’re right. Come on. Let me show you.”

Mu Siyin’s jade pendant was of better quality than the one Uncle Zhong had, and it had a long history.

When she opened the brocade box, Uncle Zhong was stunned.

He used his magnifying gla.s.s and started to observe the pendant…

The more he looked at it, the more astonished he was. “Little Siyin, this pendant that Little Beibei got you is such a treasure!”

Mu Siyin replied with a smile. “He will not give me anything substandard.”

Uncle Zhong shook his head in astonishment. “Whether it is substandard or not is just a trivial aspect. The ‘Peonies in Full Bloom'[1] carved on the pendant is enough to prove how important you are to him. No wonder he didn’t let me take a look.”

[1] ‘Peonies in Full Bloom’ is a popular painting from the Qing dynasty. It is known for its exquisite artwork, and the painting is now in the Beijing art museum. The painting highlights the light-vented bulbul and peony flowers in full bloom.
