Free Web NovelChapter 201: Chapter 200: Full Moon Banquet
Mu Ran reluctantly faced those familiar yet unfamiliar people.
The fake smile girl formally came online.
Xiao Yu’an stayed by her side and, seeing her like this, couldn’t help laughing and crying, "You look better not smiling."
"But today is Manman’s full moon banquet, I have to be polite, it’s all being recorded by the cameras. The little one doesn’t quite like me now, what if she sees me being so indifferent and ends up hating me?"
Mu Ran was indeed meticulously considering the future.
Xiao Yu’an was confused. He’d never seen Mu Ran care so much about someone’s liking: "Why do you want her to like you so much?"
Mu Ran thought for a moment, "Actually, I don’t really know either, I just feel that since she’s a child of the Mu Family, she should be doted on by the whole family. As someone who was once spoiled by parents, I should now spoil the children of our family."
Xiao Yu’an and Xiao Jin were both slightly stunned.
They suddenly realized.
Love, it turns out, is something that can be passed on.
Mu Ran looked up at the crescent moon in the sky, "If my mom and dad knew they had such a lovely granddaughter, they would probably be very happy. Come on, let’s continue our performance."
Holding Xiao Yu’an’s arm, Mu Ran smiled warmly yet falsely to everyone.
The guests couldn’t handle it.
Housekeeper Liu couldn’t bear to look; these two siblings usually had cold faces. Suddenly smiling, it made everyone uncomfortable.
But if they kept the usually reserved demeanor, it would seem like they didn’t love little Manman very much.
However, forced smiles weren’t very appealing either.
Housekeeper Liu took the recorded video to complain, "Qikuo, their smiles are really unattractive, could you please do something?"
"Let me take a look."
Feng Qikuo took a look.
His smile became gentle, "Uncle Liu, they really tried their best."
Under what circumstances could one see Mu Dixin and Mu Ran smile so brightly?
Only because little Manman was born.
Uncle Liu was puzzled, but seeing her shake her head, he didn’t continue speaking and went back to his tasks.
Feng Qikuo looked down at the daughter in her swaddling clothes, her eyes soft, "Baby, thank you for your arrival. Mommy, Daddy, Aunt, and Grandpa Liu will all pamper you."
The arrival of her daughter.
Truly made her understand what it feels like to be adored by thousands.
It wasn’t just about jewels and money.
The third largest shareholder of the Mu Family—was this little one right in front of her.
She is the undisputed heir in the future.
But it also gave her another choice; she could inherit the family business, or she could choose her own interests.
Her father, who didn’t understand loving someone, and her aunt, were both clumsily learning how to love her.
When the time was about right, Mu Dixin and Mu Ran came back in.
Mu Ran was holding little Manman.
Mu Dixin held Feng Qikuo’s arm, "Tell me if you get tired later."
"Okay." Feng Qikuo nodded, her smile gentle.
Mu Ran walked carefully, and little Manman seemed to sense something. She blinked her big watery eyes and matched her aunt’s adoring gaze, giving her a smile.
It melted straight into Mu Ran’s heart.
The photographer captured this moment, while the guests watched from the hall.
This is a villa vacated from the old Mu Family house, specifically for hosting banquets, and this time Housekeeper Liu made it extraordinarily beautiful.
For so many years, the family hadn’t held such banquets very often; now that there was an opportunity, he had to show his skills.
The whole setting followed a new Chinese style, featuring festive and grand designs.
The four of them were up top.
Attracting everyone’s gaze, the crowd marveled at how good-looking this family was.
Mu Ran walked down the red carpet with the baby and handed her to Mu Dixin.
Because Feng Qikuo cared a lot about her image, she didn’t want to look ugly at such an important occasion for her daughter.
Therefore, she insisted on wearing high heels.
Mu Dixin was afraid she’d fall, so he had Mu Ran carry the baby.
But once on stage, it was time for Mu Ran to back down.
Everything that followed went according to the plan.
But everyone in the audience could see Mu Ran’s affection for Mu Manman, giving her shares just like that, even filming a month’s worth of videos and creating a short film, composing a song.
Many people watched the short film, listened to the song, and were moved to tears.
Love is the most touching thing.
Mu Dixin watched the short film and softly said to Feng Qikuo, "She’s more like a senior to Manman."
Feng Qikuo smiled with pursed lips, her eyes filled with tears, "I heard that Mu Ran’s full moon banquet was unprecedentedly grand in the circle, is that true?"
Mu Dixin was slightly taken aback.
He nodded.
"Back then, my parents were so happy to have a daughter, they decided to give her half of the shares and used their contacts to invite many people, from both political and business circles. She was like a little princess, born with endless glory. Later, everyone modeled their full moon banquets after Mu Ran’s, including our little Manman, Uncle Liu organized it according to those standards."
Feng Qikuo felt Mu Ran deserved it, "Our parents were really great." frёeωebɳovel.com
"Yeah, actually I originally thought to groom her into an heir because she seemed too lazy to me, didn’t please me. I started teaching her business knowledge when she was in middle school. She was dreadfully stupid and always getting into trouble at school, I almost got infuriated to death by her."
Mu Dixin’s desire to train Mu Ran as an heir was simple.
The family business half belongs to her.
She needs to know how the family enterprise operates and what to do next.
Also, she was fond of all kinds of enjoyment from a young age, aided by Uncle Liu spoiling her, she was quite lazy. Mu Dixin found it displeasing and wanted to train her early so that she could smoothly inherit the family wealth when she grew up.
A girl with power and status.
Surely could lead a better life.
But he really couldn’t ask someone who liked animation, drawing, movies, and screenwriting to learn business knowledge. Once at work, she’d throw a big tantrum and act like a lunatic.
Mu Dixin planned, when she was in college, to spend money to send her to one of the top two schools in the country to study well.
But she insisted on going to a film academy.
To become a director.
After becoming a director, she was criticized terribly, Mu Dixin was infuriated by her.
"Xiao Ran is doing quite well now." Feng Qikuo really believed that in the director industry, among the younger generation globally, no one could compare to Mu Ran.
"Just so-so, just earning her own pocket money." Mu Dixin’s tone was disdainful, but his eyes carried a hint of pride.
His sister carved out a path for herself!
An internationally renowned director.
Only twenty-three years old now.
Impressive indeed!
"Sister-in-law, come come, I found a very delicious cake, try it." Mu Ran had noticed it the moment she started eating, and it turned out to be really tasty.
Mu Dixin: "..."
How old are you?
Not mature or steady at all.
"You go ahead and eat, your sister-in-law won’t eat it. Don’t keep eating all sorts of junk, it doesn’t look healthy. Do you even care about your body?"
"Shut up."
Mu Ran was fed up with him.
