Chapter 222: Weird People and Odd Happenings

“Dong Dong Dong,” Mu Xiaoyun went downstairs with quick footsteps and happened to bump into her brother Mu Xiaojie at the corner.

“What are you running so fast for?” Mu Xiaojie held on Xiaoyun.

“Brother, I have something to say to dad.” Xiaoyun took off her brother’s hand and said while pouting.

“What’s the matter, little girl?” Mu Xiaojie reached out to grab Xiaoyun’s ponytail again smilingly.

“Stop it. Brother, aren’t you expecting to have meals in my boss’s restaurant? We are going there tomorrow. I’m going to talk to dad now concerning that.” Mu Xiaoyun rolled her big eyes and said something that Mu Xiaojie was interested in.

“Great. I’m going with you.” Once he heard of the delicious dishes, Mu Xiaojie pulled Mu Xiaoyun downstairs quickly.

Mu Xiaoyun looked at her brother and didn’t oppose him anymore this time. She then followed her brother to the main hall on the first floor obediently, thinking that he might be able to help to persuade her father. However, nobody was in the main hall at that time.

“Dad, where are you?” Mu Xiaoyun shouted loudly when he got there.

“What are you shouting in the very evening? Don’t be noisy.” A man walked into the main hall from the courtyard and said harshly with his mild voice. He was dressed in a well-cut hand-made casual suit and was wearing a pair of rimless glasses, with a neatly combed hair.

“I have something to tell you. Dad, let’s go to that boss’s restaurant to eat tomorrow, ok? The dishes there are quite delicious. I have long been wanting to go there.” Mu Xiaojie wasn’t a composed person. Once he opened his mouth, he uttered a long sentence.

“I tell you to say things one after another every time. Why are you still so short-tempered?” The man didn’t actually listen to Mu Xiaojie’s utterance. Not caring about anything else, he just sat down with his back straight and upright.

“Dad.” When Mu Xiaojie continued to say something, Mu Xiaoyun pulled the lower corner of his clothes gently at the side.

“What’s wrong?” Mu Xiaojie looked back at her with puzzlement.

“Let me talk with dad about that.” Mu Xiaoyun said softly.

Their father nevertheless just sat on the sofa and remained unmoved.

“Alright. You tell him.” Mu Xiaojie shrugged. Although he wasn’t afraid of his dad, he likewise couldn’t bear the lukewarm way he talked

“Dad, I’m preparing to go back to mom’s side since the school is starting. Could we get together and have dinner together tomorrow?” Mu Xiaoyun talked to her father with a more courteous manner rather than acting cutely when she was with her mum.

With his sharp eyes, the man stared straight at Mu Xiaoyun and agreed to her with a nod only after quite a while, “Ok, sure. What time?”

“5:00. Mum will also come.” Mu Xiaoyun supplemented in a low voice.

“Humm, I got it.” The man nodded the head, indicating that he had known that. Looking at his daughter, he found Mu Xiaoyun had grown up and had her own thoughts right now.

As her father, he had already seen through her daughter’s intention. Since it was his daughter’s wish, however, it didn’t matter to merely have a meal.

“Then, I’m going upstairs to sleep, dad.” Mu Xiaoyun pulled her brother’s hand and ran upstairs happily.

Her brother was truly a time bomb. God knew what accident would happen if he stayed with their father.

After they got to the second floor, the brother and sister played and joked for a while before going back to their rooms to sleep.
