Chapter 76 Illegitimate Daughter

Someone next to him smiled and joked with Mr. Mu: "This little girl is the newly married wife of He Nian? She looks fair and cute, not bad!"

Mr. Mu ignored the booing from his old friends, he looked at Wen Niannian and continued to ask, "What's your name?"

"My name is Wen Niannian."

Mr. Mu's smile paused for a while: "What's your relationship with Wen Zhaohou?"

Wen Niannian's heart sank when she heard the name Wen Zhaohou. If she could choose, she would never want to hear this name again in her life.

But at this time she had no choice but to answer truthfully.

"He's my dad."

Mr. Mu's gaze became meaningful: "So you are the daughter of the Wen family."

For some reason, Wen Niannian keenly felt that Mr. Mu seemed dissatisfied with her background.

A slightly fatter old man next to him looked at Wen Niannian, smiling like a Maitreya Buddha, with a kind face.

"The last time my great-grandson held the full moon wine, Wen Zhaohou brought his wife and daughter to participate. I have seen his daughter, who is about the same age as you, but I haven't heard that Wen Zhaohou has a second daughter."

The other two old men also nodded. Wen Zhaohou is a man who likes to make money, and whenever there is a party, he will definitely attend, so many people have seen his wife and daughter.

As we all know, Wen Zhaohou has only one daughter.

But that daughter was not Wen Niannian.

Mr. Mu didn't speak, but he didn't stop the three old friends from talking. He just looked at Wen Niannian calmly. His eyes were not sharp, but they definitely couldn't be called gentle.

Facing the doubts of the four old people, Wen Niannian was extremely embarrassed, but she didn't show it.

From the day she left the Wen family, she had guessed that she would be in such an embarrassing situation.

——The unrecognized Wen family, in the eyes of those who don't know, is equivalent to an illegitimate daughter, and they can't get on the stage at all!
Mu Henian didn't speak, but secretly held Wen Niannian's hand tightly.

In the dry palm, there is a steady stream of warmth.

Wen Niannian seemed to have found strength from it, and her flustered mood quickly calmed down. She looked into Mr. Mu's eyes and said neither humble nor overbearing: "My father and my mother divorced a long time ago, and my brother and I were taken out by my mother. The Wen family lives alone, and now we have nothing to do with the Wen family."

These words were simple and plain, but the few people present immediately heard many secrets that were not known to the public.

Mr. Mu didn't seem to intend to make things difficult for a little girl, so after hearing what she said, he didn't ask any more questions.

"Since you are married to the Mu family, you will be the daughter-in-law of the Mu family from now on. Taking care of He Nian is your most important duty. As for other matters, let He Nian handle them."

Wen Niannian recognized the warning in his words, pursed her lips, and lowered her head in response: "I remember."

She took out the mahogany box and handed it over with both hands: "Grandpa, this is my birthday present to you, be careful, I hope you don't dislike it."

Mr. Mu didn't reach out to pick it up, but just glanced at her indifferently: "Put it aside."

Wen Niannian was about to put it on the small coffee table, but Mu Henian stopped him with his hand. He took the mahogany box, put it directly in front of Mr. Mu, and said, "Grandpa, this is carved by Niannian himself. Lightly affectionate."

His actions stunned the four old men.
