Chapter 249: Chapter 249: Master’s Arrival(7)_1

Lady Du thought the same. She hadn’t bid farewell to the elders and children in the nursing home yet, nor had she settled the nursing home’s future. How could she just leave like this?

Mu Liankui and Lady Mu Bai also didn’t want them to move away now, their desired secret recipes for the Bafu Restaurant and the roasted skewers hadn’t arrived yet. If they let them leave now, wouldn’t their household still suffer from poverty?

Therefore, Mu Liankui spoke, "We, the old couple, are old. We no longer wish to bear the pain of separation from our kin. Hence, we cannot agree to the relocation of second brother’s family."

Nangong Yi said to Mu Zhongqing, "If Elder Mu is concerned about the household registration, you needn’t worry. The current minister of the Household Department happens to be a relative of mine. Having him settle the registration in the capital for Elder Mu’s family wouldn’t be a tough task!"

Cai Wei looked at Mu Liankui, faintly smiling, "I was just thinking of handing over the Bafu Restaurant to the main house to manage, while also passing you the secret skewers recipe. I didn’t expect you to be so reluctant to let my parents leave. With this in mind, it’s best to just let it go. Our family will continue to stay quietly in Qingyun Town, acting as dutiful sons and grandsons to the old master!"

"What? You agreed!"

Mu Zhongli and Mu Liankui were overjoyed hearing Cai Wei’s words. They didn’t expect Cai Wei to agree so readily. They initially thought they would have to work hard to get those things, but they never expected things to go so smoothly!

"Yes, I agreed. But it’s a shame that the old master can’t bear to part with our family. Even with my agreement, it’s of no use!"

"Why is it of no use?"

Upon hearing that such a huge Bafu Restaurant was just within his reach, Mu Liankui, disregarding the respect owed to his elders, shamelessly overturned his previous statement: "Ahem, there is a saying, ’A man’s aspiration should be everywhere.’ My son is blessed with such ambition, and I, as a father, can’t offer much help but I can’t drag him down either. If you want to move, feel free to."

Lady Mu Bai also added, "Why don’t you leave tomorrow? It’s rare to have someone look after you. Haven’t you heard what Sister Wei said? Now there are bandits rampant on the road. If you go alone, I can’t be at ease."

"Yes, yes, second brother, just listen to mom and leave tomorrow. Those friends of yours are all impoverished, and now you are wealthy, it’s better to avoid them than still cling. Why bother saying goodbye to them? In case they borrow money from you, how would you deal with it?"

"Before you leave, you need to sign and stamp, and transfer the Bafu Restaurant and the house in the backyard to us!"

"Right, the furniture inside can’t be moved. We’re thousands of miles away from the capital, and we can’t transport all that furniture!"

...

Watching this dramatic scene, Mu Zhongqing was both shocked and chilled. He knew his parents were greedy and profiteering and treated him badly, but he never thought they would go this far, treating him not as a son, but as a tool of profit. The last bit of affection he had for them crumbled in an instant, and was completely gone!

He clearly saw his older brother and two nephews’ ugly faces. This family, there really was nothing worth missing!

He stood up, bowed to his parents, with an icy laugh, "In that case, your son is obliged to obey."

Seeing her father agree, Cai Wei sighed in relief and shot Nangong Yi a grateful glance. Nangong Yi silently returned her glance. The moment was brief, but it conveyed a sense of indescribable intimacy.

Cai Ping stood at the entrance, watching the silent exchange between the two. She was so furious that she wanted to rush over and scratch Cai Wei’s seductive face.

The shameless little harlot, in front of elders and family, dared to blatantly flirt with a man. Perhaps they had already been sleeping together behind everyone’s back. The thought made her feel as if she’d been consumed by a poisonous snake, her eyes turning red with jealousy.

Why should Cai Wei, who was nothing more than the daughter of the second room who was expelled from home, take away all the good things, even the handsome young master she longed for? She had to find a way to make the young master notice her so she would have the opportunity to approach him and oust Cai Wei.

With this thought in mind, she moved gracefully into the room and arrived, with measured steps, beside Nangong Yi. She placed the tea tray on the table, picked up a cup of tea, raised it with her lotus-like fingers, and sweetly said to Nangong Yi, "Young Master, please have some tea."

As she spoke, she respectfully bowed.

At this moment, her heart felt like it was about to jump out of her chest, her body trembling slightly, anticipation and fear swelling within her. The redness on her face showed through her thick powder, and she didn’t dare to raise her eyes, only biting her lip and demurely looking down...

Everyone present was surprised at Cai Ping’s getup, but after seeing her exaggerated posturing and affected voice, they quickly understood her intentions.

Mu Zhongqing was already depressed and upset about his parents’ and elder brothers’ ruthless decisions. Seeing his niece’s shameless behavior only added to his depression, and his heart couldn’t help but silently blame his daughter for bringing his master here and embarrassing the family.

However, Mu Liankui and his son, Mu Zhongli, didn’t think that Cai Ping’s actions were shameful at all. They were delighted with her approach, even secretly cheering for this clever girl.

She was indeed smart, knowing when to seize the opportunity to attract the young master’s attention. If she could really win his favor, their future would be filled with unlimited wealth and glory. Even if the young master didn’t take a liking to her, it wouldn’t matter. She hadn’t slept with him, and she could still find a husband in the future.

Mu Chongcai and Mu Congwu were also looking forward to the young master noticing their sister’s qualities. It would be best if he brought her into his room at once. Then their family would certainly be able to enjoy endless wealth and honor, surpassing the second room by a thousand times.

What was Bafu Restaurant or the secret recipe for roast skewers anyhow? Even a random cloak of this young master would be worth many times more than Bafu Restaurant.

When Cai Wei saw this ridiculous scene, she couldn’t help laughing derisively. Looking sideways at Nangong Yi, her face broke into a gleeful smirk.

"Young Master, please have some tea!"

Cai Ping called out softly, her voice as soft as a feather tickling a man’s ear. An ordinary man would undoubtedly lose control just by hearing this enchanting voice. Unfortunately for her, the man she encountered wasn’t ordinary--he was Nan, Gong, Yi.
