His Beloved Treasure-Chapter 1484 - 417: Five Million (Part 4)

"Don’t take it to heart, I’ve heard such things many times!"

Mu Yichen gently explained to her, always so patient with her.

"But I was just sitting there, why should I listen to them say such things? It’s clearly them living off their husbands!"

Qin Mu continued to grumble, then lifted her upper body and threw herself into his arms: "If someone said to you that I’m living off you, would you shut them up for me?"

"How could Mrs. Mu be living off someone? Mrs. Mu is so formidable!"

"Hmph! Even if I do rely on them, so what? Mr. Mu’s support is too good to resist!"

Qin Mu looked up at her husband, suddenly finding him so gentle and handsome, making her feel like she could faint any minute.

"Is that so? Then come enjoy it now!"

Mu Yichen looked at her affectionately, his hands subconsciously reaching to touch her.

In Qin Mu’s heart, others could talk about her, but talking about her family was absolutely unacceptable.

——

Feng Fanghua made a phone call to Jing Feng’s mother on her way home and sighed after hearing what she said.

"These people, huh!"

Feng Fanghua looked out the window, suddenly feeling that Qin Mu was similar to Mu Qingxin.

She originally thought that in this lifetime, only her son and daughter were not to be ridiculed.

Turns out, there was another.

"Madam, is there something wrong?"

The driver asked from the front.

"Nothing, I’m just quite moved. Qin Mu, that girl, is quite temperamental!"

Feng Fanghua looked outside, smiling slightly.

"The young madam has a strong personality, young people these days are quite individualistic, but our young madam is also very filial!"

"Yes! I wasn’t saying anything bad about her, I was praising her! I just talked with the Jing Family, and only then did I realize that while I was speaking on stage, those women were saying a few things about me in front of her. That girl didn’t give those people any face from the moment she sat down until she left."

Feng Fanghua started chatting with the driver.

"The young madam seems quiet, but she really has a temper! But this kind of temperament is actually good, isn’t it?"

The driver asked with a smile.

"You see how she’s won you all over so well, how could I say anything bad about her?"

Feng Fanghua complained a bit.

The servants at home all had a great impression of Qin Mu, always feeling that Qin Mu was the one being bullied, and she was the one bullying Qin Mu.

Well! People usually prefer to side with the seemingly weaker one!

But her daughter-in-law, how could she be weak? She just doesn’t like to argue!

——

"That Qin Mu kid, I didn’t expect her to be so formidable!"

But it was the mistress of the Jing Family who spoke to her daughter-in-law on the way back.

Helian Hao was a bit caught off guard, turning her head to look at her mother-in-law sitting in the back: "What happened?"

"So many wives of high-ranking officials, and she doesn’t consider any of them worth her attention."

The mistress of the Jing Family said.

"You can’t blame her for that; it’s those people who didn’t consider her first."

Helian Hao turned her head back, speaking to her as she drove.

"But after all, she is younger, and it’s rare for her to attend such events. What will those people say about her behind her back? Having a little argument with her peers is one thing, but her nature is probably related to the lack of parental discipline since she was young."

The mistress of the Jing Family suddenly recalled the time she went to her studio asking for help, and how Qin Mu didn’t give her any face at all, leaving her with a lump she couldn’t swallow down, lasting many years.

"Mom! Talking like this doesn’t make you sound much like an elder!"

Helian Hao was really angry hearing her mother-in-law criticize her friend like that.

The mistress of the Jing Family raised her eyes to look at her daughter-in-law’s head: "I know you have a good relationship, but would you argue with me for her?"

"How could I dare to argue with you? I’m just stating the facts! If someone dared to say such things about you in front of me, I would retort back, even if those people are elders or wives of high-ranking officials. If I said nothing, wouldn’t they think your daughter-in-law is a pushover? Similarly, Qin Mu thinks the same as me."

Helian Hao patiently explained to her mother-in-law. She knew her mother-in-law, who had harbored resentment towards Qin Mu after attempts to make amends with her didn’t lead to ideal results and because Jing Qing didn’t marry from the family. Though usually quiet, she would seize any opportunity to make things difficult for Qin Mu.

"Alright, let’s say I was wrong?"

The mistress of the Jing Family saw her daughter-in-law’s argument was logical, so she didn’t continue to argue.

Actually, the main thought was that if someone talked about her one day, Helian Hao could still back her up a bit. She didn’t want to cut off her retreat with her daughter-in-law.

Helian Hao didn’t say anything else, just concentrated on driving and taking her home.

The afternoon weather was pretty good, but once out of the car, the wind felt strong.

Qin Mu didn’t go back to work in the afternoon, instead, she watched a very old comedy movie in Mu Yichen’s office.

Mu Yichen was working, occasionally glancing at the woman engrossed in watching a movie on the sofa, his gaze ever so gentle, as if wanting to melt the woman in the sofa.

Sometimes Qin Mu couldn’t help but laugh and instinctively looked towards the office desk.

Mu Yichen’s prepared eyes were watching her, his bewitching voice saying to her: "Mrs. Mu, you’re distracting me!"
