章 28: My Child Is Smart
編集者: Atlas Studios
Chang Yuan could not figure out what this cousin was here for.
Overall, the relationship between the two sisters was mediocre. Back then, Chang Jing was able to marry into the Tan family and she showed off in front of Chang Yuan for a long time.
But the result of that?
There were many rules in an influential family. Although the only senior left was her father-in-law, it was not easy to get along with so many siblings.
Chang Jing often acted happy in front of Chang Yuan. However, Tan Xinhan's father never accompanied the two of them to the Su family villa. Their eldest daughter, Tan Xinshu, also rarely came. She was said to have been fetched and nurtured by Old Master Tan. However, Chang Yuan had never seen the results of her being nurtured.
"Sister, I heard that Muxue was sent to the hospital by Yan Zhao on Tuesday?"
Chang Jing said that because she had observed that Yan Zhao was absent.
In the past, Chang Jing had seen Yan Zhao when she came over. For some reason, that child felt like a wolf cub to her, fierce and intimidating, as if he would bite off a piece of flesh from her if she did anything wrong!
In her opinion, Yan Zhao didn't seem to be like an outsider who was fostered in the Su family. Instead, he seemed more like a wolf raised by the Su family who specialized in dealing with outsiders.
But since the Su family had never admitted to it, she could not say much.
Chang Yuan immediately put down her teacup. "Who did you hear that from?"
"My father-in-law." Chang Jing didn't mention Tan Xinhan and instead pushed the blame to Tan Xu. They wouldn't dare to confront Tan Xu. "My father-in-law has been hired by Lin Hospital. He happened to see Mu Xue and Yan Zhao when he was on duty. Sister, Yan Zhao and Mu Xue are getting closer, aren't they?"
Chang Yuan took a sip of tea and said slowly, "My family has never met your father-in-law before. How did he recognize my child at first glance?"
As soon as she said this, Chang Jing choked. "Cough cough! Maybe my father-in-law is paying extra attention."
"Oh? Jingjing, you have to thank your father-in-law for me. The Tan family has quite a number of grandchildren, right? He actually paid attention to my family? But yes, that's right, my Muxue is indeed smart and lovable."
Chang Jing originally wanted to find out what was the relationship between Su Muxue and Tan Xu. Why did Tan Xu think so highly of her when they had just met? He even gave her his contact details.
However, she did not expect to lose this opportunity just because she wanted to gossip.
What was the point of trying to find out if Su Muxue and Tan Xu knew each other? She had just admitted it!
…
Tan Xinhan wanted to pull Su Muxue into the cloakroom, but Su Muxue dragged her into the room.
Tan Xinhan looked aggrieved. "Sis, aren't you bringing me to see your new jewelry?"
"What's there to see?" Su Muxue pointed at the sofa. "Sit down. What did you mean just now? You want my dad to help you get into Ming Song too, right?"
Upon hearing that, Tan Xinhan sat down next to Su Muxue and said affectionately, "Yes, yes, Uncle is so capable. It would be a piece of cake for him to send me in."
"But compared to Old Master Tan, my dad is not that powerful. Why don't you ask Old Master Tan to help you?" Su Muxue looked at her with a smile. "Didn't you deliver food to Old Master Tan before? You can do such a small thing without any effort, right?"
"Huh? T-that's for sure." Tan Xinhan smiled unnaturally.
How would their family dare to bring this up?
Tan Xu liked people who were talented but did not show them off the most. He disliked people who were hypocritical and relied on money to build their reputations.
If they dared to mention this, wouldn't they be asking for a beating?
"Cousin, the cloakroom…"
Tan Xinhan brought it up a few more times but was either interrupted or slurred over by Su Muxue.
With no choice, she could only target the small ornaments in the room.
"Cousin, this dragon-shaped doll is so cute."
