Hidden Marriage 99 Days: Please Restrain Yourself-Chapter 58 - No Loss This Round

Chapter 58: No Loss This Round

As the eldest son of the Mu Family, Mu Donglin had met plenty of people before.

However, all of them would be eager to suck up to him and get into his good books.

They would never embarrass him or offend him like Li Beinian was doing now.

He sneered and put his chopsticks away before turning around to leave.

Mu Che said with a sullen expression, “Donglin, sit down.”

Mu Donglin stopped in his tracks and said without turning around, “I’m full.”

He then strode away.

Everyone fell silent as they watched Mu Donglin leave abruptly.

However, the culprit acted like she had no idea what was going on. She said innocently, “I didn’t do it on purpose. Why must he get so angry? I forgot.”

Did not do it on purpose?

Mu Donglin helped her to some fish but she turned him down and instead, picked up some fish for herself later, thus making him look bad.

How could that not be deliberate?

Fang Zhili gloated over her misfortune.

Mu Donglin was known for his terrible temper and Fang Zhili reckoned that he would probably break off the engagement.

This wild lass was digging a grave for herself!

Li Haoran panicked and exclaimed, “Niannian, hurry and go apologize to Donglin!”

Even Wu Meiya was a little displeased. “Niannian, Donglin has never helped anyone to food, not even me.”

“But I think… it’d be unhygienic for him to pick up some food with the chopsticks that he had used before, because his saliva contains bacteria that will lead to parasites… ”

In short, she was trying to say that Mu Donglin was dirty!

Li Haoran gritted his teeth angrily and interjected, “Niannian, forget it if you do this at home but now that we’re at Uncle Mu’s home, how could you be so calculative!?!”

He them glanced at Mu Che who also had a sullen expression. “This child has always been like this at home. She never eats what others pick up for her, so I haven’t been chiding her for it. I didn’t expect her to make a fool out of herself today.”

Li Beinian hung her head low and remained silent even though she was secretly thrilled.

It would be Li Haoran’s fault for failing to take his daughter in hand.

Anyway, she had been living outside of the Li Family and it was only reasonable for her to be insensible.

She managed to upset Mu Donglin and embarrass Li Haoran.

She did not lose this round.

However, it was still important to keep up a front. Hence, she hung her head low, appearing timid and afraid to speak.

Fang Zhili had been keeping her eyes fixed on Li Beinian and she somehow felt that she had been doing it on purpose.

She felt that she was intentionally making things difficult for Mu Donglin and embarrassing herself and Li Haoran in front of the Mu Family.

However, she found it to be unlikely too.

The marriage was highly coveted by many and it was a huge blessing for Li Beinian too. Fang Zhili felt that she definitely would not ruin it on purpose.

If Mu Donglin were to be infuriated and request for the engagement to be called off, she would be the one who lost.

Besides, she looked rather remorseful too.

Fang Zhili let her guard against Li Beinian, down a little.

I knew this lass was straightforward. She might be street smart and bully Xueqing sometimes,

but she is obviously too silly to handle major issues.

So much for worrying that I might be put at a disadvantage. It seems I have been overthinking things.

Seemingly having sensed that Fang Zhili was staring at her, Li Beinian raised her head.

Her bright and watery eyes glowed beautifully under the light.

There was a tinge of rosiness in her fair skin and her features were extremely exquisite.

Fang Zhili was greatly fascinated.

However, she felt a strong urge to ruin her.

This pretty face is bound to be trouble sooner or later!
