Chapter 195: 195: For the sake of my children, I endured.

Mu Bai heard it on the other end of the phone and hurriedly said, "Great Aunt, I can choose not to wear it with you." To be honest, she has long been sick of the rule that formal dresses must be worn at banquets. Clearly, it’s a Huaxia event, so why must they wear Western formal attire?

Seriously! Isn’t this forgetting one’s roots?

But it seems that this is just how the circle works, and she alone cannot resist. Besides, with parents pressuring her, she couldn’t even rebel if she wanted to. But now it’s different. With Great Aunt involved, if she speaks out...

Hehe, would they dare not comply?

Mu Qiuniang didn’t nod or shake her head immediately, she only arranged a time and place to meet and said they would talk about it then.

"Alright then," Mu Bai said, a little disheartened, "I’ll wait with my mom at XX place for you guys."

After hanging up the phone, Mu Bai was still uneasy. She instructed her mom, Wang Yuan, to be polite when they met Great Aunt and not to upset her. She reminded her not to forget that their future depends on the person.

"I know, do you really think your mom would do you and your brother wrong?" Wang Yuan was a little unhappy. She, as a mother, surely knew how to behave better than her daughter, right?

Even if she was dissatisfied with this "Great Aunt," for the sake of her son and daughter being in good hands, she had to put on a smile and be agreeable.

Wang Yuan always knew that this "Great Aunt" was very young, but when she actually saw her, she was still shocked. Damn! She looked about the same age as her daughter?!

She looked at her daughter, then at Mu Qiuniang, and found it a bit hard to accept.

Such a young woman is someone even Old Master Mu trusts and is said to be very capable, known as "Great Aunt"?!

"Great... Great Aunt!" Wang Yuan mustered up the courage before uttering the title.

For the sake of her son and daughter, she bore with it.

Mu Bai kept watching her mom, afraid she might get confused. When she finally saw her mom staring at Mu Qiuniang for a while and then call out, she sighed in relief.

Wonderful!

"Mom," Mu Bai smiled sweetly at Wang Yuan and linked her arm, "My Great Aunt is very nice. When I was filming elsewhere, she took care of me. Not only did she make delicious food for me every day, but she also prepared various medicinal diets to improve my health. Look at me now, don’t I look a lot better?"

Wang Yuan had to admit this. After not seeing her daughter for a few months, she did look much fairer and more sensible since returning home.

"Great, Great Aunt, my daughter troubled you before!" Although awkward, Wang Yuan felt she could endure anything for the sake of her son and daughter, especially if it was just a form of address.

Mu Qiuniang nodded lightly, "It’s what I should do."

"Hee hee, that’s not all. Your daughter has gained a lot of skills recently," Mu Bai lifted her chin proudly, "I’ve been practicing calligraphy. Great Aunt compliments me on my progress. This outfit I’m wearing is a reward from her. Isn’t it beautiful? Great Aunt made it herself."

"She made this?!" Wang Yuan was somewhat surprised. When her daughter returned, she wanted to ask this question. She used to like wearing very trendy clothes, but this time she came back dressed in ancient style.

The ancient-style dress her daughter wore was particularly beautiful and matched her temperament perfectly. At the time, she wanted to ask where her daughter got it from, but figured it might suit her daughter and not her, so she didn’t. She assumed her daughter had it custom-made elsewhere, never expecting that Great Aunt made it?!

This is so talented! She can cook, make clothes, and according to her daughter, she can also practice medical skills...

"Hehehehe... I told you, Great Aunt is amazing! Mom, aren’t you allergic to some cosmetics? If you speak kindly to Great Aunt, she has plenty of good stuff, just a little bit can make you look years younger." Indeed, Great Aunt is a powerful cultivator, maintaining skin is an easy task, practically omnipotent!

Mu Bai went to great lengths to create conversation topics and narrow the gap between her mom and Great Aunt.

Mu Qiuniang was quite pleased. No matter how mischievous Mu Bai was before, at least she had the virtue of filial piety.

"Next time, I will make some beauty cream for you."

"This... wouldn’t that be too much trouble for you?" It’s hard to find any woman who doesn’t love beauty, especially Wang Yuan. In her life, besides her son and daughter, there’s her husband. To please her husband, she naturally pays special attention to her face; otherwise, she wouldn’t frequently visit beauty salons for treatments.

However, Wang Yuan wondered if poor-quality cosmetics she used when she was younger caused her current allergies to many products, making her very cautious to avoid damaging her skin.

Everyone says Great Aunt is an incredible doctor whose medical skills are especially profound. She cured the strange illness of the young master in the Zhan Family; a minor skin issue of hers should be no issue, right?

If Great Aunt could really help heal her, she’d be profoundly grateful.

When speaking again, Wang Yuan was much more sincere, holding Mu Qiuniang’s hand and sharing a lot of her skincare knowledge and fashion tips. She has her own set of standards for beauty: not too flashy, not too expensive, comfortable, and elegant.

Blah blah blah, Wang Yuan went on and on.

While Mu Qiuniang might not be a talkative person, she isn’t afraid of awkward silences. Give her these topics and she can chat nonstop for three days and nights.

Mu Bai was a little embarrassed. Did she pick a good topic or a bad one? Judging from her mom’s demeanor, it seemed like she couldn’t stop talking. Now...

"Ahem! Honey, aren’t we supposed to go buy dresses for grandfather’s birthday party tonight?" Jiang Nuo coughed lightly and said.

"Oh right! We have to attend Grandpa’s birthday party. Mom, Great Aunt usually only likes to wear ancient robes, so she’s not particularly familiar with modern fashion. You must help her pick a pretty one..." Mu Bai hurriedly said.

"No problem, leave it to me." Wang Yuan held onto Mu Qiuniang’s soft hand and didn’t want to let go. Her eyes occasionally fell on Mu Qiuniang’s face, full of admiration.

Just now, she had mentioned that despite looking like a teenage girl, she was actually over thirty (not even adding a zero to her age would suffice). Tsk tsk... Look how well she takes care of herself; she’s practically ageless. Looking ten years younger than actual age, Wang Yuan would be satisfied to appear in her early forties from her fifties.

Of course, if she could look like she’s in her thirties, all the better.
