Mu Ning felt a little embarrassed to be chased out in front of Lin Yin. Especially when she had said in front of Lin Yin how much the Mu family doted on her. However, she was as embarrassed as she was proud just now.

At the same time, she was arrogant when they invited her in. She was in a sorry state now when they invited her out politely.

Mu Ning was furious, but she still said with a quiet smile, “Grandma Huo, it seems like today was a misunderstanding. I’ll take my leave first.”

With that, Mu Ning nodded at Old Madam Huo and turned to leave.

Huo Bing followed Mu Ning out dejectedly and asked in confusion, “Miss Mu Ning, what’s going on?”

Mu Ning did not explain further. She looked at the scenery outside Old Madam Huo’s room and said, “Brother Huo Bing, I think the scenery outside your Grandma’s courtyard is quite beautiful. Why don’t you show me around? We’ll talk as we walk. How about that?”

Mu Ning did not want to return to the banquet hall now. She could not stand it.

Today was the first time she came out as the daughter of the Mu Family. Even if she could not let everyone think highly of her, she could not let others look down on her.

However, Mu Ning was afraid that her wish would not come true because the curious people who were watching the commotion were already secretly waiting outside Old Madam Huo’s courtyard.

They did not dare to enter Old Madam Huo’s courtyard for fear of being chased out, but they could still watch the commotion outside.

However, when they saw that it was Huo Bing and Mu Ning who walked out first, their jaws dropped.

Gong Yue rubbed her eyes in disbelief and said in surprise, “Is it because the night is too dark and the lights aren’t bright enough that I think Huo Ge and Lin Yin are Huo Bing and Mu Ning?”

Lu Yue’s expression was extremely ugly, and Lu Yan instantly heaved a sigh of relief and said, “Don’t doubt your dog eyes. You saw Huo Bing and Mu Ning. They were the ones who were chased out first.”

“Lu Yan, who did you say has dog eyes?” Gong Yue turned around and glared at

Lu Yan.

Lu Yan made a face at Gong Yue fearlessly, angering Gong Yue so much that her fists became hard.

“What difference does it make who comes out first? We bet on whether Lin Yin will be chased out by Old Madam Huo, not who comes out first and who comes out later. Hmph, maybe Huo Ge and Lin Yin are kneeling in front of Old Madam Huo and begging.” Lu Yue stabilized her emotions and sneered.

Everyone felt that it made sense, so Lu Yan glared at Lu Yue indignantly.

The three Mu brothers were not interested in Lin Yin’s sure-win outcome. Mu Heng and the other families were chatting about the recent investment environment. Mu Xiao pulled Mu Ran to the side. One was hiding from his sister, while the other was hiding from his fans.

At this moment, everyone was curious about Lin Yin. She was leisurely eating desserts under Old Madam Huo’s warm hospitality.

“Xiao Ge knew you were coming and specially asked the kitchen to prepare this Chinese dessert. How is it? Does it suit your taste?” Old Madam Huo asked Lin Yin lovingly.

It was sweet but not greasy. This pastry was indeed good. Lin Yin nodded and replied honestly, “It’s delicious!”

Old Madam Huo smiled until her eyes narrowed. “Xiao Ge has been overseas all these years and is not familiar with the capital. So Yinyin, Grandma wants to trouble you to bring Xiao Ge out for a walk during this period of time. Is that okay?”

Lin Yin’s hand that was holding the pastry paused for a moment. No matter how stupid she was, she understood what Old Madam Huo meant. This old lady clearly wanted to matchmake her and Huo Ge.

Lin Yin looked at Old Madam Huo in a dilemma. “Grandma Huo, I’m going to university in two days. I might not have time.”

Old Madam Huo could naturally hear the rejection in Lin Yin’s words, but she didn’t care. Men had to have a process of wooing women.

Her kind smile was filled with curiosity. “In that case, which school did Yinyin enroll in? Why don’t you get our Xiao Ge to send you there?”

Lin Yin smiled and refused. “Capital University, there’s no need, Grandma. This is too troublesome. I have someone to fetch me.”

Old Madam Huo looked at Huo Ge and gestured for him to fight for it himself. In the end, Huo Ge actually thought that Old Madam Huo wanted tea and poured a cup of tea for her. “Grandma, your tea!”

Old Madam Huo was speechless at Huo Ge’s interruption..
