Chu Cishu went to talk to Boss Mu in person, and the two of them met in a teahouse and chatted for a long time.

No one knows what they talked about specifically.

When Boss Mu left, he was holding the Pixiu bracelet given to him by Chu Cishu, and took the other tea sets and tableware that Gu Mingchen had sent from Jiangcheng, and vowed to go to the Mu family to redeem the people.

However, after arriving at the Mu family, looking at the bill handed over by the housekeeper, Boss Mu's eyes turned black and he almost fainted from anger.

The sky is falling!

"Why are there so many again? Did you do this on purpose?"

Boss Mu was very angry. After being supported by Mu Siwen, he calmed down, but he still couldn't help but questioned angrily.

The housekeeper said, "It's really not our fault. Mubebe is too clumsy and can't do any work properly. If our master hadn't been so magnanimous and stopped her from working, I don't know how much more work would have happened in the past few days."

"Our Beibei is the little princess in our family. She is not a worker." Boss Mu said angrily.

"Then you should take your little princess away quickly. We in the Jin family won't serve a little princess like her." The disciplinarian said arrogantly.

"Let's take the people away first. Can we compensate for the new losses later?" Mu Siwen suggested.

The housekeeper wanted to agree, but was afraid that his master would disagree.

After thinking for a while, he said, "I still have to discuss this matter with our master. I will reply to you after I have discussed it."

After saying that, the person left.

Boss Mu covered his chest and sat on the chair.

He quickly asked Mu Siwen to pour him a cup of tea to calm him down.

The maid of the Jin family was quite perceptive and immediately came over to pour him a cup of tea.

Mu Siwen advised him, "Uncle, don't be too angry. Beibei is still young, and the most important thing now is to bring her home first."

"Am I angry with Beibei? I am angry with Jintan. He is of noble status, but what era is this? How noble can he be? After all, he is still a relative who has acknowledged his ancestors. He is so ruthless in doing things. He is going to cut off his own retreat."

Mu Siwen frowned. He couldn't figure out what Jin Tan was thinking.

I always feel that he seems to have a grudge against their Mu family.

Could it be that the Mu family had really offended him without knowing it?

The housekeeper trotted all the way to the study to find Jin Tan.

On the way, I saw Mu Beibei playing shuttlecock with the maid in the yard.

The little girl is not good at housework, but she is very good at kicking shuttlecock. She is the best among the little girls.

"Beibei, your uncle and your brother are here, in the side hall. They want to take you home first and then get some extra things. I'll go ask grandpa for help now, and if he agrees, you can go home."

After all, she was just a child who had stayed for a few days, and although the housekeeper didn't like her, he still treated her with kindness before she left.

When Mubebe heard this, he stopped happily and asked with bright eyes: "Really? Can I really go home?"

"Not yet. I need to ask the master first," said the butler.

"Then go and ask him if he agrees." Mu Beibei urged anxiously.

The housekeeper looked at her happy expression, smiled and shook his head.

Sure enough, he is still a child, saying he is going to run away from home. But after being away from home for a few days, he still misses home.

He turned a corner and soon arrived at the study.

But as soon as I entered the door, I heard a "bang" sound in the study.

He was startled and thought something had happened to Jin Tan, so he rushed in.

"Master, are you okay?"

After coming in, I saw Jin Tan standing by the window with a flustered expression and no one knew what he was doing.

"I'm fine, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Jin Tan frowned and quickly walked back to the desk and sat down.

The window behind him was still shaking slightly because it was not closed tightly.

"It's like this," the housekeeper was relieved after hearing him say that everything was fine, and immediately reported, "Someone from the Mu family came, and we've shown them the bill. Although the Mu family was anxious, they didn't deny it. They also suggested that we take Mu Beibei home first, and then send her back when they have collected the compensation. I think this method is also feasible, so I came here to ask you for your advice. If you agree, I'll let them take Mu Beibei away."

"Does she really want to go back?" Jin Tan asked in a low voice with a gloomy face.

The housekeeper smiled and said, "The child has been away from home for a long time, so of course she wants to go back. I just asked her about it, and she was very happy when she heard that she could go back."

"Since you are so happy... then let's go back!" Jin Tan lowered his eyes slightly, with disappointment in his tone.

Sure enough, as soon as she had the chance she still wanted to leave, without any reluctance.

"Okay, I'll go tell her right away."

The housekeeper was overjoyed, happier than during the Chinese New Year, and immediately turned around to notify them.

Jin Tan stood up again, walked to the window, and opened it a crack. From this angle he could see the situation in the yard in front.

After the housekeeper told Mubebe this, Mubebe was overjoyed.

The housekeeper was right, she was really happy.

However, I don’t know what the housekeeper said to her, she looked lost and not as happy as before.

After a while, the housekeeper actually took her back?

Jin Tan immediately closed the window again and hurried back to his desk to sit down.

Because I was nervous, I even held the book upside down.

Fortunately, the housekeeper discovered it before leading Mu Beibei in, and his expression turned upside down in annoyance.

"Master, I brought Mu Beibei here to say goodbye to you."

After the housekeeper came in, he said to Jin Tan in a smart-minded way.

Jin Tan frowned and said in an unhappy tone: "You've already left, why are you coming to say goodbye?"

Doesn't this rub salt into his wounds?

"Look, I told him he wouldn't want to see me, but you forced me to come." Mu Beibei complained to the housekeeper.

The housekeeper smiled and explained to Jin Tan, "Master, this is the rule. Although... no matter how the rules outside change, the rules of our family cannot change. This girl has stayed in our house for so many days, and according to the rules, she should come to say goodbye to you. Mu Beibei, kneel down and kowtow to the master."

After the housekeeper finished explaining, he turned around and spoke seriously to Mu Beibei.

Mu Beibei's eyes widened and he immediately refused: "I don't want to kowtow."

"It's neither New Year nor a festival, why should she kowtow? Let's go, let's go quickly!" Jin Tan waved his hands impatiently.

If she didn't leave now, he was afraid that he would regret it and force her to stay.

Mu Beibei was afraid of being asked to kowtow, so she turned and ran away.

The housekeeper was so angry that he apologized to Jin Tan and chased after her.

After catching up, he angrily rebuked: "How can you be so ignorant, kid? The master is so good to you, and he even asked someone to make new clothes for you. You caused such a big disaster but he never scolded you. He even asked you to kowtow but you refused. How can you be so unruly? No, I will talk to your uncle later. Although your Mu family does not have to abide by the rules, you cannot be so unruly. After all, you have recognized your ancestors, and you cannot forget the rules of your ancestors."

"How come there are no rules in our family? We have to kowtow to our ancestors during festivals. I have even kowtowed to my grandfather. But he... he is just an uncle, not a biological one, so I don't want to kowtow to him." Mu Bebe retorted.

The housekeeper said: "Although he is not your biological uncle, he treats you well, so you should kowtow. Do you know that if I hadn't persuaded him, he would have wanted to adopt you as his goddaughter?"

Mubebe was shocked!

After realizing what was happening, he shouted, "No, I don't want to. I have a father, I don't want to be a godfather."

"You want to recognize him, but we don't agree. If you want to recognize him, you should find a boy who can inherit the family business. You have to find someone from the same clan, not you." The housekeeper argued.

Mu Beibei thought it was horrible. Jin Tan actually wanted to adopt her as his goddaughter?

If I really admit it, won’t I be unable to leave here for the rest of my life?

When she thought of this, she couldn't help but quicken her pace, wanting only to run to her uncle and brother and let them take her away.

Boss Mu and Mu Siwen saw the butler bringing Mu Beibei over.

They both stood up at the same time.

When Mu Beibei saw them, her nose felt sore and she immediately threw herself into Mu Siwen's arms.

"Brother, take me away quickly, I don't want to stay here for a day."

"What's wrong? What kind of injustice have you suffered?" Mu Siwen asked with concern.

Boss Mu asked the housekeeper with a sullen face: "Did you bully our child?"

"Mr. Mu, you misunderstood. Our family is very lenient to the servants. How could we bully her? She is young but has a bad temper. She refused to kowtow to the master just now. After all, she has been eating and living here for so many days, and it was the master who saved her. She really doesn't know the rules at all. Mr. Mu, although I have no requirements for your side branches, you can't be too unruly."

Boss Mu: “…”

"Ahem, you're right. Please tell Mr. Jin that I thank him for taking care of my niece these days. We will educate her well when we return."

After saying that, he winked at Mu Siwen and told him to take Mu Beibei and leave with him.

As soon as they got out of the door, Boss Mu complained angrily, "Humph, he even asked our child to kowtow? When was this rule established? We haven't even been willing to let her kowtow, how can he have the nerve to do that?"

"That's right, he even wants to adopt me as his goddaughter." Mu Beibei said immediately.

Boss Mu and Mu Siwen were shocked.

Boss Mu asked, "Really? Did Jin Tan tell you personally?"

"No, it was the housekeeper who said that. He said that if he hadn't stopped him, he would have adopted me as his goddaughter. I don't want to be his goddaughter and take care of him until the end of his life."

"Fortunately we arrived in time, otherwise our child would have changed his surname to Jin." Boss Mu was still frightened at the thought.

After getting in the car, he quickly asked Mu Siwen to drive.

He was afraid that if he drove too slowly, Jin Tan would regret chasing him and he would not be able to leave.

"Uncle, Gu Mingchen also helped a lot in this matter. I will take Beibei to his house to report safety. Besides, Auntie is also at his house, so I should take Beibei over."

After the car drove back to the Mu family, Mu Beibei met with the other family members, and Mu Siwen made a proposal to his uncle.

Boss Mu hasn't spoken yet.

Mubebe refused and said, "I don't want to go to their house. I don't want to see them."

Boss Mu said: "Look, Beibei doesn't want to see them either, but we're not stopping her."

"But uncle, we can't afford the compensation that the Jin family wants. We have to trouble Gu Mingchen for help." Mu Siwen reminded with a smile.

Boss Mu's expression changed, and he immediately smiled and persuaded Mu Beibei: "Good boy, just go with your brother to take a look. After all, your mother is still there, you have to meet her."
