Chapter 80: Chapter 80: Joining the Calligraphy Association

"Sister-in-law, I know my brother treats you well, and you love each other deeply. I also know that my brother cares about me. Otherwise, as a busy man, he wouldn’t drop so many company affairs to come here. But I really don’t like someone doing things I dislike in the name of caring for me and loving me. This is a cage of affection that I can’t bear."

Mu Ran knows her sister-in-law has it tough in their relationship, but she doesn’t want to back down.

"You’re doing great," Feng Qikuo didn’t say much, but rather envied Xiao Ran’s carefree attitude. "Does your head hurt?"

"It’s okay, I can handle it." Mu Ran truly feels fortunate that she didn’t listen to the persuasion of many people to choose the path of becoming a star; otherwise, she would be unemployed now.

Sigh.

She really is quite farsighted.

"How can you be so extreme, using your forehead to hit that human trafficker’s forehead? What if something really happened?" Feng Qikuo sat beside her, concern written all over her face.

"What’s the big deal, at worst we would leave this Earth. Moreover, I was saved by Xiao Jin. Oh my, for the first time in my life, I experienced what it means to be a damsel in distress, and it was from a five-year-old child," Mu Ran laughed.

She pinched the little guy’s downcast face and scratched his chin, consoling him, "Alright, alright, don’t carry too much psychological burden. Look, I’m fine now, aren’t I?"

"But earlier, you were lying in a pool of blood." Chu Xijin recalled the scene then, and his long-repressed tears finally couldn’t help but fall.

He has been in the modern era for quite some time.

Crying for the first time.

In the past, he would always tell himself to stay calm when something happens and find a way to resolve it; there’s nothing unsolvable.

But when it comes to Aunt’s injury.

His mind was blank, he just wanted to cry!

Mu Ran held the child in her arms, gently patting the trembling back. "You don’t know how scared I was then; even when those who reported appeared, there was no bit of safety. Of course, I saw right away that those people were pretending. But when you called out to me, I felt at ease. To me, your appearance was like a little hero showing up. So don’t apologize, okay?"

Chu Xijin knew Aunt was comforting him, yet he couldn’t hold back his tears.

Nor could he stop the fear.

If Aunt really had something happen, the person he hated most would be himself!

Mu Ran saw him still crying and sighed, "You’re such a kid who cries nonstop; just cry for a bit to make a point."

Feng Qikuo: "..."

This guy’s words are so touching.

But also very annoying!

Truly indescribable.

Mu Ran truly doesn’t know how to comfort people; it’s already quite difficult for her to say those words, isn’t it?

Noticing the speechless expression of her sister-in-law, Mu Ran thought of something and suddenly asked her, "Are you free these two days?"

"Barely free, are you afraid of being alone in the hospital and need me to accompany you?" Feng Qikuo is willing to stay in the hospital.

It’s not just because of the sister-in-law relationship.

She personally likes Mu Ran very much, appreciates Mu Ran, and is grateful to Mu Ran.

Initially, many people thought she climbed up the social ladder to connect with Mu Dixin, and she wasn’t truly in love with Mu Dixin but rather part of a contractual marriage, so the reputation within the circle wasn’t great.

Also, the matter of severing ties with her parents caused further controversy.

Mu Dixin helped her career-wise by hitting back at those people and defending her.

Yet Mu Ran made public all the dirt of those people.

She was like a person in the Imperial Palace with a pure heart, fearless.

Beating a row of masters with chaotic punches.

Before then, she always thought Mu Ran didn’t like her, because whenever she tried to please Mu Ran, Mu Ran was indifferent.

Unexpectedly, Mu Ran protected her, and whenever someone spoke once, she could expose the dirt every time, without caring about others’ retaliation afterward.

Extremely arrogant.

Extremely heartwarming.

Therefore, she was really willing to push off many contracts to accompany her when she got hurt.

"Well... my Xiao Jin got the attention of a calligraphy master who wants to pull him into the calligraphy association. I promised him earlier that I would accompany him to join, but now that I’m hurt, I can’t participate. So I was thinking if you could accompany him for me. I think it’s quite a good thing to promote our Chinese traditional culture, what do you think?"

Mu Ran gazed at her eagerly, with a hint of pleading.

Feng Qikuo was taken aback.

Chu Xijin quickly said, "Aunt, I won’t join; I’ll just stay by your side."

If Aunt hadn’t suddenly reminded him, he would have forgotten about this event.

"No way, this is a great opportunity, you must go." Mu Ran had researched this elder’s personal information the evening when she returned from kindergarten; his status in the calligraphy association is very high.

If Xiao Jin can be brought into the association by him.

The path to calligraphy will definitely be smoother.

Moreover, Xiao Jin himself is from ancient times, and although modern times have many excellent facilities and complex cultural knowledge, ancient civilization shouldn’t be easily wiped out.

Mu Ran still hopes Xiao Jin can continue to engage with ancient knowledge.

Firstly for his future.

Becoming a member of the association seems ordinary, but in reality, he’ll be in touch with more great calligraphers, greatly benefiting his own calligraphy skills.

Secondly, she doesn’t want him to forget his origins, not to forget the mother who bore and raised him.

"Aunt, I really don’t want to go!"

In Chu Xijin’s view now, nothing is more important than Aunt.

"You’ve already promised them; you can’t break your word. Besides, I’m not seriously hurt; you see, I’m fine right now. Instead, staying here makes me feel like my injury is severe, and it heals slower. Whether it’s for me or for you, you have to go."

Mu Ran looked earnestly into his eyes, "Xiao Jin, I know what you’re thinking, but I want to tell you, Aunt isn’t that fragile."

Chu Xijin pursed his lips silently.

Feng Qikuo lightly cleared her throat, "Shouldn’t you ask my opinion first?" 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

"Didn’t I just ask you? You haven’t answered me yet." Mu Ran rolled her eyes.

"You really are..." Feng Qikuo was speechless, "Forget it, considering how pitiful you are, I’ll go."

"Tsk." Mu Ran was speechless, yet couldn’t help but smile. She couldn’t help boasting, "I’m letting you, a capitalist, cultivate some interests; you should thank me for that."

"Oh my, really grateful to our kind, beautiful, generous Director Mu."

"Hehehehehe..."

Mu Ran laughed heartily.
