Chapter 575 - Threw away a pearl and picked a stone (2/2)

Small Xixi's eyes bulged. ”What? But what about my brother, then?”

”I have nothing to say about him.” She said. ”I was conflicted about sending you this invitation because you are his sister. But, you are my best friend too. How can I not invite you to such an important part of my life? If you cannot attend it, I will understand.”

The girl looked even sadder. ”I'm going! Don't forget the pact we made about me being the maid of honor at your wedding.”

”Yeah...”

”But I wanted you to be my sister-in-law. Boohoo... Sis Meili, can't you change your mind?”

Lu Meili rubbed this spoiled girl's head. ”Xixi, be good. Things don't always go the way we thought they would. Besides, Mu Zhichen is a nice guy. Shouldn't you be happy for me?”

”I'm only taking this invitation card because you gave it to me. However, I still believe you love my brother. You are only momentarily enchanted by that Mu guy.”

Lu Meili was helpless. This little girl was so pampered that she thought everything must go her way.

Southside Villas.

In the afternoon, Old matriach Mu, her son and grandson made their way to Lu Aotian's villa, led by servants carrying loads of gifts. Mrs. Mu was unable to make it since something came up in the last minute.

As soon as they arrived, Matriach Mu's eyes caught sight of a young woman approaching them. She delightedly approached the woman. ”Meili, you are here. You waited for us as promised. Come here, grandma has a gift for you.”

Wan Jia coughed. ”Ahem.... it has truly been so long since we last met.”

Matruach Mu was shocked. ”You are... Wan Jia?!”

”Meili went out for a second. Why don't we catch up a bit?”

Matriach Mu was still dazed. She scrutinized Wan Jia from head to toe. ”Wait, you've got to stop kidding. What's the difference between you right now and what you looked like twenty years ago? Are you sure you're really not Meili?”

Mu Zhichen at the side was speechless. Although she still looks very young and beautiful, you cannot simply mistake her for her own daughter, okay?

Matruach Mu rarely met her son's friends. She had only met Wan Jia once at a banquet and that was probably a very long time ago. Last night when he showed her a photo of Lu Meili, she had said that the girl took after her mother. And now she was mistaking the mother for the daughter?! What kind of weirdness was this?

”Mom, I'm back.” A soft voice filled the air, followed by footsteps.

Matriach Mu turned. Indeed, that was more like the girl from the photo.

When her gaze landed on that beautiful girl, she finally saw the difference. ”Indeed, Meili looks much younger. You have to tell me how you took such good care of yourself.”

Leaving Wan Jia aside, Matriach. Mu rushed to Lu Meili like she would disappear. ”My good granddaughter, grandma is finally here. Did I make you wait too long?”

Lu Meili was still catching her breath from rushing over too fast. ”No, no. On the contrary, I made you wait for me.”

”How can you say that? Come here. Grandma has a gift for you.”
