Chapter 123: Dinner in the Mu Family

“Anyway, now that this is done, let’s go down. It’s dinner time in an hour or two and I have to go back.” Lin Yuan stretched his hand.

The Lin Family might not be that strict in educating their children, but they hoped that the members of the Lin Family could gather together for dinner. Unless they have something else going on, they would usually go back.

“Just eat with me. My mother will definitely invite you to eat.” Mu Ting Ye stopped Lin Yuan from leaving.

Lin Yuan’s expression froze. He immediately turned around and held Mu Ting Ye’s thighs. “Young Master! Let me go this time! I don’t want to stay here and be scrutinized by your elder again!”

The transformation was so drastic that even Yu Shi Lan was dumbfounded.

But Mu Ting Ye’s face darkened and the two of them scurried around. In the end, Lin Yuan suffered a few beatings before he calmed down and could only dejectedly stay behind. He silently contacted his parents about him staying in the Mu Family Residence.

“Is it so bad to be invited to eat dinner together?” Yu Shi Lan asked in confusion.

It’s just dinner.

If the Mu Family was petty about the materials used for food, she could just give them a few contribution points as payment. Anyway, she was not that poor and still has more than enough contribution points.

“Well…” Lin Yuan looked at Yu Shi Lan with some hesitation.

In terms of manner and all, it couldn’t be said to be bad, but Lin Yuan could still remember how Mu Ting Ye’s father and mother seemed to be unfriendly when looking at him. After all, he was the one who often dragged Mu Ting Ye to participate in some things when they were younger.

And it seemed that… these things were something that Mu Ting Ye’s father and mother hoped Mu Ting Ye could stay away from?

Lin Yuan didn’t dare to say this.

Mu Ting Ye saw Lin Yuan’s hesitation and said, “He’s just not used to my family’s atmosphere. By the way, do you want to eat with us too? I think that my mother might want to retain you.”

“Huh?” Yu Shi Lan pointed at herself in confusion.

She too?

Seeing her expression, Mu Ting Ye laughed and then coughed to cover it up before saying, “Yes, after all, you’re now my friend.”

Friend…

Yu Shi Lan shrugged helplessly. “Well, if your mother do ask, then I’ll stay. But if not then I’m going back.”

“She’ll definitely ask,” Lin Yuan muttered.

There was no instance when Mu Ting Ye’s mother would not ask his friends to stay behind and have dinner together.

Thinking about this, Lin Yuan felt even more despair.

Mu Ting Ye shook his head and brought the two people out. As he had expected, Mu Ting Ye’s mother saw that they were about to go out and immediately held them back and said that they could go back after dinner.

“Eat first before going back. You’re all just children,” Mu Ting Ye’s mother ruthlessly refused Lin Yuan’s request to let him go back to eat in the Lin Family instead.

After that, Lin Yuan, Mu Ting Ye, and Yu Shi Lan could only sit down like three good children.

Mu Ting Ye’s mother seemed to be satisfied when she saw this and then went back to the kitchen.

“See?” Lin Yuan sighed.

Yu Shi Lan’s lips twitched and she commented, “The Mu Family is really generous.”

Food has become scarce and many people were not able to eat enough, but Mu Ting Ye’s mother was still wiling to let Mu Ting Ye’s friends to stay behind and eat together. This made her feel that the Mu Family had too much food on their plates for them to eat on their own.

“My mother just likes to entertain guest,” Mu Ting Ye said helplessly. He didn’t know what else to explain about his mother’s behavior.

Yu Shi Lan nodded thoughtfully.

Before long, Mu Ting Ye’s father came back with Mu Ting Yu. Looking at the man’s uniform, Yu Shi Lan understood that Mu Ting Yu was also in the military. It seemed that the Mu Family should be a military family…

No wonder Mu Ting Yu was such a righteous person.

But Mu Ting Ye didn’t seem to exude that kind of aura…

While Yu Shi Lan was a bit confused, she didn’t mean to ask about it blatantly.

Mu Ting Yu noticed the two people and he looked at his younger brother. “Your junior brother and sisters are here?”

“Ah.” Mu Ting Ye arched his eyebrows and his eyes narrowed.

It seemed that some people were thinking about recruiting Yu Shi Lan after seeing her performance in the training ground. If he claimed her to be his junior sister, those people would be more restrained.

After all, they didn’t want to offend the Master behind him.

Tsk, it was troublesome.

He had long guessed that Yu Shi Lan was very capable, but her strength was indeed a bit too high compared to Lin Yuan. That’s why some people couldn’t help but want to recruit her.

“Hmm?” Lin Yuan was a bit confused but seeing Mu Ting Ye’s dark face, he chose not to say anything.

Yu Shi Lan blinked her eyes and greeted Mu Ting Yu politely.

She could tell that he was scrutinizing her for some reason, but she didn’t want to play into their games.

It was annoying.

“What’s your name? How old are you?” Mu Ting Yu suddenly asked.

“My name is Yu Shi Lan and I’m 17 years old,” Yu Shi Lan replied honestly. Since they were in the military, she had no doubt that they would be able to get her personal information easily. There was no point in hiding this kind of information that could be found easily.

“17…” Mu Ting Yu couldn’t help but look at his younger brother.

Mu Ting Ye is only 18 years old.

In a way, these two children were geniuses in martial arts.
