Lu Xue hesitated for a moment. Next to her, Han Xiaolv nodded and tried to persuade her.
"Lu Xue, I think Mu Ziyue is quite right. We failed to make an appointment with Mr. Chen this time, and we don't know when we'll be able to meet him next time. If Mr. Chen needs a long time to recuperate, where will you go during this period?"
Mu Ziyue saw that there seemed to be a chance.
So she immediately gave Han Xiaolv a look and continued to persuade, "Lu Xue, we've lived under the same roof for so long. We're good sisters, aren't we? If you leave without saying goodbye, do you consider me a good friend? Have you ever thought about how I and my brother would feel?"
Lu Xue scratched her head and looked somewhat embarrassed at the two thick suitcases in the trunk of Han Xiaolv's car.
The place to stay during this period was indeed a problem. Since they hadn't met Mr. Chen, maybe she should just go back to the Mu Mansion.
So, she turned to Mu Ziyue and nodded. "Then let's go back."
Mu Ziyue's eyes lit up and she quickly went to open the car door for Lu Xue.
"You can take my car on the way back! Drag the suitcases out of the trunk of that car! I'll call Aunt Chen right now and ask her to prepare more dinner and some delicious dishes at home."
After Mu Ziyue happily sent the text message, she didn't forget to send one to her brother as well. Then she drove Lu Xue back happily.
The car drove for a long time. When they got back to the old mansion, it was already evening.
Lu Xue originally thought everyone should have gone to bed, but unexpectedly, when she entered the house, she found it brightly lit.
Aunt Chen and several other butlers were warmly waiting at the door. When they saw Lu Xue come back, they all rushed forward to help carry the suitcases, and someone prepared hot water.
Aunt Chen led Lu Xue to the dining table.
Han Xiaolv took a look at the dining table, gasped in surprise and blurted out,
"No way! Such a sumptuous dinner? This meal is amazing!"
Lu Xue looked down and sure enough, there were about twenty or thirty dishes on the table, filling the whole table. Each dish was exquisitely arranged, showing that a lot of effort had been put into it.
Lu Xue looked a bit dazed. She had just gone out for a while, but when she came back, she seemed to have become a very distinguished guest and was warmly entertained by the family.
Seeing Lu Xue still standing there, Mu Ziyue pressed her shoulder and made her sit down at the dining table. She also pulled Han Xiaolv to sit down beside them and warmly invited them to have dinner.
Han Xiaolv's eyes sparkled. Holding her chopsticks, she was eagerly waiting for someone to start eating first so that she could eat openly.
But after waiting for a long time, Mu Ziyue didn't pick up her chopsticks. She just kept looking around, as if waiting for something.
Seeing this, Han Xiaolv had to swallow her saliva forcefully several times.
Mu Ziyue waited and waited but her brother didn't come. She began to lose her patience. She lowered her head and sent a text message to Mu Yuze.
"Brother, why aren't you here yet? Lu Xue is already home. If you don't come, you'll miss this reunion moment after a long separation."
But after sending the text message, there was no reply. Mu Yuze didn't give any response. Mu Ziyue let out a sigh and then invited the two girls.
"Forget it. Let's not wait. The three of us will start eating first!"
Han Xiaolv immediately nodded and quickly stuck her chopsticks into several of her favorite dishes.
Ten minutes later, Mu Yuze finally showed up. He seemed to have just finished his work at the company. There was still a bit of dew on his body when he came back.
When he entered the house, he took a brief look at the three girls eating at the dining table but didn't show any reaction.
Lu Xue originally wanted to say hello to Mu Yuze, but she found that Mu Yuze just glanced at her briefly and then looked away. He just took off his black coat and rushed upstairs.
Seeing that Mu Yuze entered the house without saying hello and just went upstairs indifferently, Mu Ziyue couldn't help shouting,
"Brother, have you had dinner? Come down and have dinner with us later."
Mu Yuze didn't even look sideways and didn't stop walking. Staring at the air in front of him, he said, "No, I've eaten."
Then his figure disappeared at the stairway. With a "bang", he seemed to have locked himself in the study.
Mu Ziyue was so frustrated. Her blockhead of a brother, at a time like this, even if he had eaten, he should at least come down and eat a little and chat with Lu Xue.
She had finally created such a good opportunity for the two of them, but her brother just didn't understand and couldn't be helped up no matter what.
Mu Ziyue was dejected. After finishing the meal, she went upstairs on her own.
Han Xiaolv had the best appetite. She ate most of the dishes on the table and kept praising Aunt Chen's cooking skills.
Aunt Chen was beaming with joy and made desserts for the two girls.
It was very late when Han Xiaolv finally said goodbye and left.
Aunt Chen really liked this girl. She walked her to the door and waved goodbye several times before Han Xiaolv left.
