Chapter 304: Chapter 304: Mockery and Derision

“What’s your name? Why are you at my house?” Mu Feiyan asked Wu Xiaoyu coldly.

Wu Xiaoyu noticed her hostility but didn’t take offense. After all, it’s her cousin he’s entangled with. It’s normal for her to be suspicious of him.

“My name is Wu Xiaoyu. General Mu invited me over,” Wu Xiaoyu sat back on the sofa, smiling faintly.

However, his words seemed to touch a nerve with Mu Feiyan. Her brows furrowed even tighter, and with a flash of displeasure in her eyes, she snapped: “Who told you to sit down?”

Li Qianqian saw her cousin suddenly turn on Wu Xiaoyu and hurriedly stepped in to calm the situation: “Sis, what’s wrong? Uncle invited him!”

Mu Feiyan pulled Li Qianqian behind her and whispered, “Is this the Wu Xiaoyu who’s been clinging to you?”

“Can’t you be a little more perceptive? Someone of his background, how can he be a match for you? Clinging to you is just his way of trying to climb the social ladder!”

Though she lowered her voice, Wu Xiaoyu heard her words clearly. So she thought he was the one pestering Li Qianqian?

Come on, did you even investigate beforehand? Jumping to conclusions like this! It’s your cousin who’s been clinging to me!

“Well… I heard everything you just said! First, I haven’t been pestering your cousin. Second, I have no intention of climbing the social ladder using her. Please don’t misunderstand me!” Wu Xiaoyu said sternly.

To Mu Feiyan, his statement sounded like false modesty. You haven’t been clinging to Qianqian? Do you think I’m an idiot?

I have informants. Would I wrong you without solid evidence? What’s there about you worth wronging?

Seeing him deny it and put on an innocent face only made Mu Feiyan angrier. She questioned him with increasing hostility: “You haven’t been clinging to Qianqian?”

“I heard that last time she went to Jiacheng County just to find you! You even spent a long time playing at the KTV! Am I wrong?”

Mu Feiyan’s words made Wu Xiaoyu pause. How did she know he was with Li Qianqian that day?

Could it be that Li Qianqian would deliberately tell her about it? No, it must have been those two gossipy women, Zhu Ying!

Those two had been difficult with him that day, looking down on him in every way possible, yet they wouldn’t give up. It’s just unexpected that they went to Mu Feiyan to smear him?

Why would they do that? Even if he were interested in Li Qianqian, it wouldn’t affect them, right? They’re women; they couldn’t possibly be involved with Li Qianqian romantically.

So, the people behind this must be Wu Kai and Wen Rui? If they could get close to Li Qianqian, it would be very beneficial for their families!

These two dead dogs have gone too far, first dealing with Bin, now plotting against him. They’ve really outlived their usefulness!

They better not fall into my hands or I’ll make them endure the most excruciating tortures!

Mu Feiyan saw his fierce expression and mistook it for desperation. She quickly threatened, “Don’t act rashly! Just one call from me and someone will come to take you away! Then you’ll really regret it!”

Li Qianqian frowned and complained to Mu Feiyan: “Sis, why are you like this? He’s a guest invited by uncle!”

“So what? He shouldn’t have messed with you!” Mu Feiyan retorted unabashedly.

At this moment, a woman in her forties came down from upstairs and tried to mediate: “What are you two sisters arguing about now? Fighting like children!”

Seeing her mother come downstairs, Mu Feiyan complained: “Mom, look at the kind of people Dad is inviting!”

Mu Zhuangfei’s wife heard this and scolded: “Little Fei, how can you be so rude? How can you speak about a guest like that? If your father finds out, you’ll be grounded!”

After scolding her daughter, the woman walked over to Wu Xiaoyu and smiled faintly: “Little Fei is still young and doesn’t understand. Don’t take offense; Old Mu will be back soon, just wait a little longer.”

Mu Zhuangfei’s wife, who also came from a wealthy family, had always looked down on someone like Wu Xiaoyu, who seemed poor at first glance.

To her, such poor people coming to their home were all trying to climb the social ladder, hoping to use Old Mu’s connections to get ahead and live lavishly.

As the matriarch of the house and a supportive wife to Mu Zhuangfei, one of her main duties was to politely and firmly turn away those looking for shortcuts or connections.

She sat down opposite Wu Xiaoyu, pretending to ask casually: “So, what’s your relationship with Old Mu? I don’t think I’ve seen you before.”

“No real relationship, just met a few times,” Wu Xiaoyu sensed her wariness but remained calm.

Standing on the side, Li Qianqian hastily added: “He came to grandpa’s birthday celebration too!”

Hearing that Wu Xiaoyu attended the old man’s birthday, the woman was a bit surprised and looked Wu Xiaoyu over again.

Knowing that the people invited to the birthday party were all influential, she found it hard to believe that Wu Xiaoyu, who seemed around twenty and poorly dressed, had been among them. How did he get an invitation?

“You went to the old man’s birthday party? I don’t remember seeing you there,” she smiled warmly.

Though she was subtly probing Wu Xiaoyu, she did it in a way that didn’t make him feel awkward, but rather seemed caring.

Wu Xiaoyu paused and explained: “I was with Mr. Bai Kainan that day, so maybe you didn’t notice me.”

Mu Feiyan, sitting beside her mother, glanced at Wu Xiaoyu provocatively: “It shouldn’t be that. With your aura, you should have stood out in the crowd. How could anyone not notice you?”

Her sarcastic remark annoyed Wu Xiaoyu, but Li Qianqian, the innocent soul, thought her cousin was complimenting him.

“Cousin, you finally recognize how excellent Wu Xiaoyu is?” Li Qianqian smiled, then tried to sit close to Wu Xiaoyu.

She was about to take Wu Xiaoyu’s arm but stopped when she saw her aunt’s wary eyes.

Seeing her naivety, Wu Xiaoyu nearly got frustrated. Young lady, can’t you hear the sarcasm?

Do you even know what sarcasm is? My excellence? No, you’re the excellent one, the Best!

Noticing Wu Xiaoyu’s displeased expression, the woman didn’t berate Mu Feiyan but followed up on Li Qianqian’s remark:

“Indeed… quite a fine young man, very outstanding! What kind of work do you do?”

Oh great, another one immediately asking about his job! Can’t they feel superior without knowing his occupation?

Just as Wu Xiaoyu was about to answer, Mu Feiyan suddenly chuckled and said, “Mom, I heard he’s in poultry farming!”

Poultry farming? How did a farmer get involved with Bai Kainan and end up at the old man’s birthday party?

Moreover, how did Old Mu know this farmer? And what could a farmer possibly want from Old Mu?

“Little Fei, who told you that? Don’t blindly follow what others say!” the woman turned and reproached Mu Feiyan.
