Chapter 225 Even if you don't change your surname
As he said this, Song Beiyou's expression changed.
His dark pupils were filled with contempt.
Several people at the table were terrified when Song Beiyou threw his spoon down like that.
Zong Lanfang clutched her chest. "Bei You, I'm not trying to be mean, but you can't just throw away spoons and cutlery like that."
It's bad luck!
"Let's talk things out calmly; there's no need to scare us like this."
He's like a thug, always throwing things around. Looks like I'll have to discipline him properly in the future.
Mu Niannian chimed in, "Yes, Bei You, Grandpa values table manners very much."
"You're making him uncomfortable."
As soon as the words left his mouth, Song Beiyou let out a cold laugh, "Heh..."
Then, I heard her say, "You're allowed to mess with me, but I'm not allowed to mess with you?"
Compared to your duplicity and thieving behavior, what's wrong with me deliberately throwing a spoon?
Upon hearing this, Mu Huaishan stepped in to smooth things over, saying, "Let's have breakfast, then we can talk things over properly."
Unfortunately, even after the attempts to smooth things over, no one was willing to pick up their spoons and chopsticks and remained sitting quietly.
The atmosphere in the entire restaurant was like being trapped in some suffocating hellish battlefield.
After a while, Song Beiyou reached out first and picked up the spoon that she had deliberately dropped earlier.
He picked up a spoonful of pumpkin and millet porridge from in front of him.
The food at the Mu family's restaurant was quite good, but Song Beiyou didn't really like the atmosphere while eating there, and many other people at the table also affected his appetite.
Perhaps because Song Beiyou set a precedent, Mu Li'an also picked up his chopsticks.
Immediately afterwards, the people in the restaurant quieted down a bit and began having breakfast.
Song Bei finished her breakfast slowly and deliberately. She didn't want to stay any longer and planned to tell the Mu family before leaving and returning to Jinxiu Manor.
Last night, because of the ancestral recognition banquet, she convinced herself to spend the night with the Mu family.
Now that things don't seem ideal, why compromise?
Just as she was about to leave, the oblivious and emotionally inept Zong Lanfang caught her again and said, "Now that you've finished breakfast, can you continue what you were saying?"
Upon hearing this, Song Beiyou temporarily swallowed his words about leaving and stared intently at Zong Lanfang.
"Hmm?" she asked in surprise.
At this moment, Old Master Mu, who hadn't spoken since before breakfast, coughed lightly and said, "Bei You, what your mother said is true. First, about changing the surname, and second, about the shares."
"For our Mu Group to establish itself in Beijing, we need considerable human and financial resources."
Thinking back on giving away those 45% of the shares last night out of politeness, I feel incredibly bad.
Fortunately, the person is at their Mu family's house. We need to talk to her and ask her to return some of it.
Mu Li'an couldn't listen anymore, "Grandpa, what do you mean by doing this?"
Trying to push someone away?
If that's the case, then it's fine, Youyou. Come on, I'll see you off.
Don't let your sister, whom you finally found, gradually become estranged because of the bizarre actions of some members of the Mu family.
Seeing Mu Li'an get up to wait for her, Song Beiyou gratefully raised her head and stood up. "Okay, let's go then."
Even better! Someone wants to take her away.
Mu Qianyun quickly followed.
However, the more she tried to leave, the more she angered the few members of the Mu family who remained adamant.
Zong Lanfang ran out of her seat and blocked Song Beiyou and the others' path, "Where are you going?"
"This is the Mu family home. Since you are my biological daughter, and we held a ceremony yesterday to recognize you as part of the family, you will have to live here until you get married."
Mr. Mu completely agreed with this statement. The older generation cares a lot about their reputation and is afraid that any bad things will get out and be talked about.
The whole "switching the prince with a cat" thing was already absurd enough, but to think about leaving after the ancestral recognition banquet is just too inappropriate.
Raising her voice slightly, she looked at Song Beiyou and said, "Sit down. From now on, you'll live at home. When you get married, you can move out of the house in a grand ceremony."
Song Beiyou, “???”
"Elder Mu!" She slowly turned around and called out in a stronger tone, "You went back on your word?"
You told my grandfather that after I was officially recognized as part of his family, I would enjoy absolute freedom and would never be forced to do anything I didn't like.
Old Master Mu paused, realizing that he had indeed said such a thing.
But things are different now.
He propped himself up with his cane. "You can leave, but the shares I gave you last night are void."
Anyway, last night's promise was just a verbal one, unlike Zong Qiming's direct signing and transfer.
Mu Niannian, standing to the side, was absolutely thrilled, as if it were New Year's Day.
As long as Song Beiyou hasn't acquired Mu's shares, she still has a chance.
Mu Li'an, Mu Qianyun, and Song Beiyou, who were about to leave, all turned around and looked at Elder Mu.
Mu Li'an was about to speak when Song Beiyou stopped her, insisting on speaking herself.
She said with disdain, "How shameful!"
"What did you say?" Old Master Mu narrowed his eyes, not liking Song Beiyou's attitude.
Song Beiyou's eyes were firm. "I said you are untrustworthy and shameful."
Last night, so many eyes were watching and so many ears were listening, and now you're saying it's invalid?
Why? "
Old Master Mu said, "Because I am the head of the Mu family, and because you refuse to change your surname!"
He has a strong voice and speaks with a fierce tone, making him seem unapproachable and difficult to get along with.
The eerie atmosphere persisted, sending chills down one's spine.
Mu Li'an pulled Song Beiyou behind him, preparing to deal with his grandfather using his own methods.
Seeing this, Mu Niannian felt it was necessary to get involved, so she quickly stood up and said, "Big brother, Beiyou, Grandpa is getting old, can't you just go along with him a little?"
"It's just changing your surname. It won't make you lose an arm or a leg or anything, so just change it."
Upon hearing this, Elder Mu's expression finally softened somewhat.
I thought it would be better to keep the child by my side, as they would be more sensible.
Zong Lanfang was also relieved that Mu Niannian could still be so understanding of her family even though she already knew she wasn't a member of the Mu family.
“Yes!” she said to Song Beiyou, who was being protected behind Mu Lian’an, “Niannian is right. It’s just changing your surname, is it like it’s going to kill you?”
After he finished speaking, Song Beiyou retorted, "Then let Mu Niannian change it first, let her change it to Song Niannian first."
I'll consider whether or not to go ahead with it later.
"you......"
Mu Niannian never expected that she would end up shooting herself in the foot, and she was immediately speechless.
When Zong Lanfang heard that Mu Niannian wanted to change her surname, she was extremely unwilling. "What does this have to do with Niannian?"
This is about your business.
Song Beiyou's expression grew increasingly cold. He stepped forward from behind Mu Li'an and said, "Then let everyone who attended the banquet last night be the judge and see how they will react after hearing what you said about these two things."
