Mu's elder uncle, after hearing that, turned his head and exchanged a meaningful look with Mu's grandfather.

After Ai'ai lowered her head to eat, Mu's grandfather lost his appetite, his face sank, and he lowered his voice to ask Mu Xianqi: "How did you find someone so young?"

Mu Xianqi said lightly: "It's fine, she's eighteen, I've been eighteen too, we truly love each other, a match made in heaven."

Mu's grandfather almost choked on his own saliva.

Mu's elder uncle coughed beside them, lifted his teacup and took a sip, hiding his emotions.

After catching his breath, Mu's grandfather asked again: "Didn't you say you wouldn't bring anyone back unless you found someone suitable?"

Mu Xianqi's lips curled: "She is the suitable one I found."

Mu's grandfather didn't ask further, just his gaze at Ai'ai gained a few more shades of unspoken meaning.

Others couldn't hear what Mu's grandfather and Mu Xianqi were muttering, but from their expressions they knew it wasn't a proper topic.

Song Yusui leaned close to Lu Yuchu's ear and whispered: "Brother Qi's girlfriend looks hard to get along with."

Lu Yuchu and Song Yan had already sensed something, they just waited quietly for what would come next.

Lu Yuchu's lips curled: "She just arrived, it's normal to feel unaccustomed."

Jiang Liangjin sat beside Mu Youyu, saying little throughout, only occasionally picking food for her.

Mu Youyu lowered her head to eat, occasionally her eyes met Ai'ai's across the table.

When the meal was half done, Mu Xianqi suddenly picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in his sister's bowl, smiling: "Baby, eat more, you've gotten thin lately."

Before Mu Youyu could thank him, Ai'ai across the table suddenly slammed her chopsticks down, making a crisp sound.

Everyone at the table was startled by the sound, all eyes turning to her.

Ai'ai's expression had changed, from earlier indifference to obvious anger.

She stared at Mu Xianqi and spoke a long string in M Guo language, speaking quickly; Mu Youyu, who hadn't reacted, only caught a few words like "chopsticks", "saliva", "who is she".

Mu Xianqi then realized he hadn't introduced her, explaining: "She is my sister."

Ai'ai tilted her head to look at him, her eyes reddening, lips trembling: "She's your sister and you still call him baby? You never told me you had a sister."

Who among those who know Mu Xianqi doesn't know he has a sister?

"Now you know, right?" Mu Xianqi chuckled, "Don't make a scene, so many people are watching."

"Even if she's your sister, it's not allowed!" Ai'ai's voice rose, "Your chopsticks touched your mouth, then the food, then her bowl—that's not an indirect kiss?"

"Where did you learn that from?" Mu Xianqi's expression unchanged, "It's different—how could siblings have an indirect kiss… How will you go out with me like this?"

"Why do I need to meet people? Xianqi, I came for you, sat on that long flight, arrived in this foreign country, and this is how you treat me?"

Mu Xianqi held his patience: "You need to make sense."

Ai'ai wouldn't listen, stood up, pushing her chair back with a screech: "I don't like this, how can you be like this, you promised to love only me forever!"

Mu Youyu looked down at the braised pork in her bowl; Jiang Liangjin reached out, took her bowl away, replaced it with a clean one, and said: "Don't eat it for now, I'll serve you more later."

Mu Youyu didn't say anything.

After Jiang Liangjin changed the bowl, he lifted his eyes to Ai'ai, a hint of anger in his gaze: "Go straight out, I won't see you off."

Mu Xi looked at Mu Xianqi: "Where did you find this trouble? Take her back quickly."

Mu Xin said coldly: "If you're going to go crazy, do it outside."

Mu Nian's face also looked bad; he lifted his water cup, took a sip, and when he set it down the base hit the table heavily with a thud.

Song Yan held his chopsticks midair, unable to advance or retreat.

Song Yusui posted the latest update in the family group: "This temper, quite fiery—I didn't expect Mu Xianqi to like this type."

He felt a pang of regret; if Mu Yichi and his brother were present, they'd surely say one thing worth ten.

Lu Yuchu's face sank: "No, what nonsense are you spouting, getting angry at my sister—you've scared her!"

Several people spoke loudly enough that even the servants working nearby heard it, but the parties involved gave no reaction, and Mu Xianqi was still trying to persuade her.

Mu's grandfather and uncle's faces were already dark as night.

About a minute later, Ai'ai sniffled, then touched up her makeup in front of everyone.

After finishing, Ai'ai's gaze swept across the table, finally resting on Mu Youyu's face, staring for a while before looking away.

She sat down again, picked up her chopsticks and placed them on the table, but didn't pick them up again.

No one gave her new chopsticks.

Mu Xianqi kept up the "everything's fine" facade: "Keep eating."

He gave Ai'ai another chopstick of vegetables, this time using the public chopsticks.

Ai'ai looked at the vegetables in her bowl, forced a smile, and cooed in M Guo language: "Thank you, dear."

Jiang Liangjin's motions of picking food for Mu Youyu became more frequent, as if he were expressing something this way.

Jiang Liangjin's actions of picking food for Mu Youyu were more frequent than before, as if she were trying to express something this way.

Mu Xin was the same; when picking food for his sister he used the public chopsticks, and after picking he deliberately put them back in place, his movements unhurried, as if demonstrating something.

Mu's elder uncle could no longer see any of the earlier joy.

Mu's grandfather's face turned ashen; thinking of his granddaughter's grievance, seeing the two still acting as if nothing was wrong, his anger surged, and he immediately stood up and shouted: "Get out, our family doesn't welcome you!"

Ai'ai covered her mouth: "Grandfather, Dad, I remember you said on the phone to treat this as my own home!"

Mu's elder uncle rose, pointing at her nose with a slightly trembling finger: "Who are you calling grandfather, who are you calling dad!"

Mu Xianqi still wanted to speak in his defense, but Mu's grandfather had already pointed at him: "You also get out, what kind of eyes do you have! Butler!"
