Chapter 62
Not long after the domestic servant called Mu Dezhong, someone from the Mu family came back, but it wasn't Mu Dezhong, but the person Mu Li wanted to see more at this time.

Mu Cheng, her half-brother, the eldest son of the Mu family, is Peng Yu's son.

This was the first time she met him since returning to Rongcheng.

After many years, when we saw him again, he was still the one she hated so much—arrogant, arrogant, domineering, and defiant.

When Mu Cheng saw her, the disgust in his heart would never be less than hers, not to mention that last time at Old Madam Jiang's birthday banquet in the west of the city, she snatched away all the glory that he was supposed to attend!
He kept this account firmly in his heart!
"After so many years, you still don't understand etiquette. It seems that there are some rustic humbleness engraved in your bones, which are destined to be indelible." Mu Cheng smiled coldly, leaned on the sofa halfway while watching her, He put on an air of superiority and complacency.

Mu Li also sat with her legs crossed, looking at Mu Cheng at the same level. The ignorant look of not being aware of the imminent disaster made her feel very ridiculous. Unconsciously, there was a smile that seemed to be not a smile at the corner of her mouth.

This arc made Mu Cheng very annoyed, he sat up straight suddenly, and said sharply: "Don't think that I will have scruples about you now that the Mu family needs you! Every negotiation is the same!"

"The Mu family needs you to stay in the Lin family and guard the title of Mrs. Lin. Similarly, you also need the Mu family's consent so that your mother's tablet can enter the Mu family. It's just a transaction. It's not about who has more bargaining chips than who."

If it doesn't hit your ears, it's fine as the wind blows by your ears, and it's fine if it goes in the left ear and comes out the right ear, and Mu Li doesn't care.

Now she is no longer the ignorant and innocent girl back then, who thought that power represented everything, and that she would be inferior to others if she went from the countryside to the bustling city by herself.

After so many ups and downs, she is very clear that the people who are really inferior and extremely dirty are not those who toil in the dirt and dust all day long, but these beasts in clothes who talk about public welfare and charity and secretly gang up.

Therefore, she would not give any response to Mu Cheng's ridicule, and let him be proud for a while, and make him cry later.

Sure enough, when Mu Cheng saw that the younger sister from the countryside was speechless, he became even more proud, "Qiu Li, if I were you, I would obediently abide by the agreement with my father, do my best, and work hard for your poor mother." Do your best, not come here and take your own humiliation."

Listen, this is the most typical Mu family psychology, denying her existence, calling her "Qiu Li", and Mu Dezhong only "his father".

In comparison, Peng Yu is more aware of current affairs than his son. At least he knows that the Mu family is in trouble now and needs her to maintain the relationship with the Lin family. Therefore, he is more polite to her than ever before. On the contrary, it is Mu Cheng...

Seeing that he was almost arrogant, Mu Li squinted and said indifferently: "Father asked you to come back?"

"Father is also what you can call?"

Mu Li smiled slightly, "It was my father who asked me to yell that. If you have any doubts, just ask your father."

"You!" Mu Cheng jumped up from the sofa in a hurry, pointed at the tip of Mu Li's nose, and stared at her condescendingly.

This younger sister from the countryside is actually very different from before, will she contradict him?He really remembered that when she was brought back, she was just like her weak mother, submissive and timid as a mouse.

But what happened today?Have you eaten bear heart and leopard gall?

Mu Cheng swallowed heavily, withdrew his pointing hand, and sat upright on the sofa, "Father asked me to come back, do you think you can see him if you want? Let me tell you, Qiu Li, you'd better Get out of Mu's house immediately, or—"

"Otherwise what? Can you still drive me out like you did to my mother?" Mu Li took the words, and the words turned sharply.

Mu Cheng raised the corners of his lips, and a sneer appeared in his eyes, "You are different from your mother, at least you are still valuable, and I won't be so decisive with you. But if you insist on not leaving, you will ask for it .”

"Do you think you still have that chance?" Mu Li raised the corners of his lips, stood up leisurely, and expressed his request to the front, "I want my room to be cleaned up and decorated in my favorite plain color. Just give me a door key like a house key, and the fingerprint code of the door must also be recorded in mine."

"Who do you think you are? How dare you make these demands?" Mu Cheng was so angry that his internal organs were shaking, but he was a man, and it was out of style to quarrel with women, so he suppressed his anger and asked.

Mu Li still smiled and said, "You don't have to ask so many questions, just follow what I said and follow my instructions."

"Qiu Li! Don't push yourself too far!"

"Keeping an inch? Hmph——" Mu Li looked sideways at him, his pair of clear brown pupils showing an unprecedented resentment, "This is what is called a real push."

After the sound fell, she took out her mobile phone from her coat pocket, dug out the photo album, clicked on a picture, and sent it to Mu Cheng's eyes, "Where did you drive that night?"

Mu Cheng took a quick glance and saw the picture of him driving. Judging from the shooting angle of the picture, it should be taken by the surveillance camera above the road.

How could Murray have this thing?

He raised his eyes and asked in shock, "Where did you come from?"

"You answer me first, why did you appear in the surveillance?"

"Is it strange? I drove on the road and strictly followed the traffic rules. I didn't run a red light, I didn't speed, I didn't press the line... I drove honestly, did I have a problem?"

"No problem." Mu Li smiled. She had expected that Mu Cheng would not be the one to confess in just one or two sentences, so she put away her phone and said, "But you showed up at the back door of Lin's main house at one o'clock in the morning, so there is a problem. gone."

Hearing this, Mu Cheng's face finally changed drastically. Suddenly, he grabbed Mu Li's wrist and lifted it, and asked with a fierce look in his eyes, "Are you investigating me?"

"open!"

"What are you investigating me for? Could it be that you want something to blackmail me?"

Mu Li met Mu Cheng's eyes without blinking, and felt that there was a trace of timidity hidden under his burning eyes, "Look at you jumping over the wall in such a hurry, what have you done? Find?"

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Mu Cheng became more anxious and squeezed harder.

His wrist hurt like it was about to be pinched, Mu Li resisted it, and continued to irritate Mu Cheng: "If not, why are you so nervous? Could it be that you did something shameful behind your father's back?" Bar?"

"You!" Mu Cheng was so angry that he raised his left hand and was about to hit him.

Seeing the situation, Mu Li was about to fight over there first, when Mu Dezhong's roar came from the door——

"What nonsense?!"

She withdrew her unexposed right hand in time, and Mu Cheng also sent her away, standing aside with an embarrassing expression.

Mu Dezhong walked in, furious, "It's so noisy, what does it look like? The domestic helper saw it, and I, Mu Dezhong, lost face!"

"Father, it's Qiuli—"

Before Mu Cheng finished speaking, Mu Dezhong glared back angrily, and he immediately fell silent.

Now that the Mu family is in a special situation, Mu Li plays a pivotal role for the Mu family. If this chess piece is used well, the Mu family can turn around. Therefore, Mu Dezhong told him earlier that he should be polite to Mu Li, and he should not be like he was back then. like that.

"Ali, what's the matter with you?" Mu Dezhong calmed down, "I didn't finish some things just now, so I asked Mu Cheng to come back first. Your elder brother has always been arrogant, and you know it, he Don't worry about it."

Mu Li cast a sideways glance at Mu Cheng, of course she wouldn't argue with a self-righteous person, "Father, I'm here for something important."

"What's important? Sit down and talk about it." Mu Dezhong signaled Mu Li to take a seat beside him, looked around the table, and saw half-eaten apples on the table with a knife stuck in them. He noticed something. , Can't help but look at Muli again.

This daughter is no longer what she used to be. She has her own thoughts, and she can go east if she is not allowed to go east, or fall into the water if she is allowed to fall into the water. But fortunately, her mother's ashes and spiritual tablet are in Mu's house, so she can't do anything about it.

Besides, she did well at Old Madam Jiang's birthday banquet. After he thought about it carefully, although he failed to reveal his marriage relationship with Lin Jinqian, it was also very good to show up with the heir of the Lin family and get the heir's care.

What's more, she and Lin Jinqian showed up on the [-]th birthday of the old man of the Lin family two days ago.Afterwards, he asked the person who was there that day, and the expression on that person's face seemed to be a respect that had suddenly dawned on him. His daughter from the Mu family was also the wife of the eldest young master of the Lin family.

"Why don't you let the domestic helper serve the tea? After waiting for so long, let the domestic helper serve the tea first." Mu Dezhong showed another rare politeness. He couldn't see the domestic helper from left to right, so he simply sent Mu Cheng, "Go , order the servant to make tea and bring it over."

"Father!"

"Go!"

Mu Cheng raised his throat in one breath, then swallowed forcefully, glared at Mu Li who was sitting beside him, and left angrily.

After Mu Cheng left, Mu Dezhong asked, "A Li, what's the matter with you coming back suddenly?"

Mu Li hesitated to speak, looking very embarrassed.

"What happened? But you and Lin Jinqian..."

"No, father, Jin Qian and I are very good. We have been married for so many years, and there has never been a better time than now."

"In that case, what else is important?"

Mu Li lowered his eyes, took a deep breath, and said, "Before I say, there are three things that I hope you can agree to."

Mu Dezhong's expression froze, he thought he knew about Mu Li's request, and the domestic helper had already informed him clearly on the phone, but he pretended not to know, and let Mu Li say it was okay.

Murray repeated the requirements for the room, keys, and fingerprints.

"Why do you want this all of a sudden?"

"Because..." Hearing the movement behind, Mu Li guessed that it was Mu Cheng who came back. She paused for two seconds, and the footsteps came closer before she said, "Someone from the Mu family broke through the life barrier on the night of Mr. Lin's birthday. God's disaster."

Mu Dezhong's face darkened instantly, his brows were tightly frowned, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"If father doesn't understand, why don't you ask elder brother? Ask him, where did he go on the night of Mr. Lin's birthday?"

As soon as he entered the room, he was pointed at by the spearhead, and Mu Cheng locked his pace. Facing Mu Dezhong's questioning eyes, he was at a loss for a moment.
