Mu Family
Er Dong Hao with his darken expression heading to Mu family, the moment he entered the front door, he asked the maid: “Does your madam at home?”
“She at home.”
“How about Mu Chen?”
“So does with Master too.”
Er Dong Hao seemed to murmur on something, it seemed the maid did hear he was complaining, kind of… after all Mu Chen also at home, he did complain Mu Chen doesn’t do anything in the present, everyday staying at home with Zhang Xiao, who is he trying to guard against? Doesn’t he guard against him, does he?
They are almost leveling up to be grandfather and grandmother, Mu Chen still afraid he might take Zhang Xiao from him? Even if he wanted, this is not likely to happen too.
After the maid heard Er Dong Hao murmuring, inside her heart she also said: Mr. Earl, you are also looked so leisure, everyday coming to here only to anger our third master.
Er Dong Hao with big steps, he walked to the main house, the moment when he was almost in front of the door, he turned his footstep, he didn’t hurry to get inside the house, instead of, he was walking to the backyard, the maid did call him, he not even turned his head and just walked away.
The maid calling sound had disturbed Mu Chen, the moment when Mu Chen went out, Er Dong Hao has disappeared, he asked the maid: “Who did you call before?” As seen there was a familiar car parked in front of his house, Mu Chen frowned, “Er Dong Hao coming again?”
Hurried the maid answered: “Mr. Earl has walked to backyard, no one knows what he wanted to do in the backyard, he comes alone, doesn’t bring anyone with him. Master, I can see Mr. Earl is looked unhappy, as if he is angry over something.”
Mu Chen sneered: “He went to backyard must be plucking my flowers with his poisonous hand. Ignore him, you can go back and continue doing your stuff. I will check on him.” After said, he also went to backyard.
Er Dong Hao acted as if Mu family’s house like his own home, he often coming to the backyard without the owner permission.
The moment when Mu Chen arrived at his backyard, just as predicted he was witnessing Er Dong Hao poisonous hand was plucking his flowers. That year Mu Chen sent Zhang Xiao few pots of roses, after many years, the roses have grown and filled the backyard.
Mu family even employed a professional gardener for taking care the plants, due to the gardener meticulous care, those roses have blooming beautifully. While Er Dong Hao seemed to be specialized to pluck the blooming flowers, as Mu Chen saw, he hasn’t stopped plucking his roses, he knew he wanted to give that roses to Zhang Xiao, he walked over, he shouted at Er Dong Hao: “My wife especially likes these roses, it is not easy to see the flowers blooming in the entire yard, after all your poisonous hand plucking all of it, Er Dong Hao, if you are unhappy, go and jump to river, jump from high building, or even hit yourself to wall, it doable too. Why are you coming to my backyard and ruin my flowers?”
Er Dong Hao has plucked so many roses, the moment he heard Mu Chen shouting, he stopped plucking the flowers, standing straight on his place, he glared at Mu Chen, since Mu Chen was glared by Er Dong Hao, he added: “Er Dong Hao, you come to my backyard, ruining my flowers, and now you are daring to glare at me? What’s going on, did your enemy come to your house? Ckckckck, your wrinkle face, really ugly.”
“Don’t forget you are older few years than me. If I am wrinkle old man, you are not better than me too.” Er Dong Hao looked down to see the flowers which he did pluck, then he said: “I want to take these flowers and find Zhang Xiao, I want to make complain to her, telling her that you have taught Xiao Di poorly.”
After said, he ignored Mu Chen, then after he walked two steps, he stopped and said to Mu Chen: “My Earl family indeed has so enemies, if kind of my family with the organization doesn’t have enemies, then it must be a lie. You can ask Ning Zhi Yuan, do their Huo Yan Men have enemies or not? Those people if they are really coming to seek revenge, they would aim the best subordinate of ours, you tell me, who is the person I care the most? Mu Chen, I can’t believe you are still having mood to tease me, I really afraid you don’t have capability to protect Zhang Xiao. You better let Zhang Xiao be with me.”
“Hey, you surname Earl, you are so shameless. The person you keep on thinking, she is my wife!”
Mu Chen glared with blowing beard, angered by Er Dong Hao shameless. Oh, he doesn’t have beard, he dislikes to grow beard, he feels if he has beard he might look old. Moreover because Zhang Xiao still looked so young, still charming as she used to, therefore he also needs to preserve his youth, his charm, in order to hold tight his beloved wife.
“There is nothing to do with my flowers if your son turned bad?” Mu Chen faced Er Dong Hao, he was standing side by side with Er Dong Hao, moreover he didn’t forget to touch his shoulder, both were clashing their shoulder to each other, these two men have been frenemies since they were young until now, every times they meet, if not bantering, they might fight, after all it has become habit for them.
“I won’t tell you.”
Er Dong Hao answered him hooligan way, he angered Mu Chen to the point he kicked by him.
Er Dong Hao swiftly avoided his kick, he groaned: “Mu Chen, I have bad mood, if you are touching me for once again, let’s us go outside and have one by one fight. If you lose, Zhang Xiao should accompany me sitting in Sui Yue Jing Hao, drink coffee, listen music, read books.”
“I don’t want to have one by one fight with you, I afraid to injure you, make you lose face. Er Dong Hao, those past years, two of us did compete, do you think you really can win over me? You really know to dream, asking my wife as companion and even spending time in my daughter’s shop, drinking coffee, listening to music, reading book? Never have the thought! If you feel bad mood, jump to the river, why don’t you do it? Oh, just remember, my house has an artificial lake, do you need me to take you there?”
“Mu Chen, you are so poison, you just wanted me to die, if I die, then you will free from worries, but I won’t let you, I will be the thorn in your meat forever. You are older than me, you might die earlier than me and Zhang Xiao, hahahaha, when the time come, I will be the only person beside her.”
A sound of something falling down, Mu Chen pushed Er Dong Hao to wall, he raised his hand that curled into tight fist, wanted to punch Er Dong Hao’s mouth, his mouth is so cheap, he really wanted to punch him, he loves to anger him with his words.
“Mu Chen.”
Zhang Xiao seemed to appear in right time, the moment when she saw these two people wanted to fight, she suddenly showed herself in front of them.
“Zhang Xiao, Mu Chen wanted to hit me, you should give him a lesson, since you dislike using violence to solve matter.” Er Dong Hao made an accusation first.
Zhang Xiao walked over, she stretching out her hand, taking the flowers from Er Dong Hao, frowned when asking Er Dong Hao: “Er Dong Hao, what makes you come to my house and ruin my flowers in the backyard? Every years when the flowers are blooming, you will come here and ruin them, do they wrong you?”
Er Dong Hao twitched his mouth, pushed away Mu Chen, honestly he said: “Can’t I feel jealous, can I? The flowers that planted in your house were those flowers this man gave it to you many years ago, he just too cunning, he just gave you few pots of flower yet every years they blooming.”
He even lost this part with Mu Chen.
That year he did arrange roses sea, Zhang Xiao just took a glance, but didn’t feel move, therefore nothing left impressed in Zhang Xiao’s heart.
“You are the old man, do you think you still a youngster?” Being called as old man by his love rival, Mu Chen angered to the point his face red, he really wanted to beat Er Dong Hao, if not because his wife went out, he would beat Er Dong Hao until he couldn’t get up.
Zhang Xiao: “… Two of you have already become old men. Both are already old yet still acting alike youngsters. Every times meet two of you would fight, also love to make accusations to each other, Er Dong Hao, don’t you afraid Xiao Di would laugh at you once he knew this side of his father?” Zhang Xiao took the flowers that Er Dong Hao plucked before, turned her body and went inside her house, unhappy she called these two old men: “Get inside.”
Mu Chen and Er Dong Hao wanted to be first, then these men were secretly fighting behind her, last the moment when Zhang Xiao turned her head, Er Dong Hao stopped then Mu Chen took an opportunity to be first, his gesture really angered Er Dong Hao, every times when this happened, he would lose to Mu Chen because he afraid Zhang Xiao angry then chased him out.
That’s true, he lost to Mu Chen.
When he was young, he had already lost to Mu Chen, he lost to time, if he could meet Zhang Xiao earlier, where would Mu Chen then?
At last, he really not destined with Zhang Xiao.
Zhang Xiao put the flowers to vase, she even not forgot to warn Er Dong Hao: “Next time, don’t come to my backyard and ruin my flowers.”
Er Dong Hao saw Zhang Xiao put the flowers to the vase, flowers were plucked by him, it equally as if he was giving Zhang Xiao flowers, therefore he didn’t angry being glared by her. He just casually sitting on the sofa while at beside Zhang Xiao was helping him to make a chamomile tea, she also gave Mu Chen a glass of warm water. Mu Chen doesn’t like to drink tea, but during this time, it is not suitable to drink coffee, afraid he cannot sleep at night.
Mu Chen took a peek at Er Dong Hao’s tea, while Er Dong Hao stared at Mu Chen warm water.
During this time Er Dong Hao looked so happy, he thought Zhang Xiao was treating him better than Mu Chen.
Mu Chen humped, he said: “Xiao Er knew that I don’t like tea, moreover now is about dusk time, not suitable to drink coffee, therefore she gave me a glass of warm water, you drink tea, be careful you cannot sleep during the night. Two of us are aged, we shouldn’t drink tea at evening.”
Er Dong Hao: …
Mu Chen is the old man!
“Stop it! Isn’t it only a glass of tea, what nonsense are you two trying to talk about? I gave Dong Hao a glass of tea because he looked not really well. Dong Hao, when you came here, I could see your facial expression looked unwell, what was going on?” Zhang Xiao helplessly stopped these two men who love to argue, she asked why Er Dong Hao came.
Er Dong Hao took a sip of the tea, he indeed wasn’t well, actually Zhang Xiao cared about him, three of them could be said good friend, moreover they have more than twenty years friendship, when he knew this pair of husband and wife, Mu Ya was two years old, and now Mu Ya has already twenty five years old.
Time passed so fast, in the blink of eyes, all the children have grown up.
“I feel so angry because of Lin Yi rotten father and also her stepmother. That shameless pair of wife and husband were coming to my Ming Liu Yuan asking for compensation, even if I should pay the compensation, they are also not the receiver, they have treated Lin Yi and her younger brother that badly, I willingly to give my money to beggar rather than to them. I afraid if I didn’t leave, perhaps I might beat them up.” Therefore he came to Mu family and ruin all Mu Chen’s flowers.
Every years when the flowers blooming, Er Dong Hao likes to come to Mu Family ruin their flowers whether he feels happy or unhappy, one because he really jealous, second he intentional angered Mu Chen.
“How’s Xiao Di and Lin Yi relationship now? I heard her little brother have done the operation, Ying Ying said the operation quite succeed, Xiao Di even came to look for Mu Ya, asking her to arrange work for Lin Yi. Does Xiao Di think to take all responsible?” The last question that asked by Zhang Xiao was trying to dig out Xiao Di feeling toward Lin Yi.
Er Dong Hao silent for while, little but unhappy he said: “My son has grown up, he thought he can do everything, I can’t stop him to do whatever he wanted to do. I really curious what is so good about that little blind girl? After all he likes that blind little girl so much, if this thing happened in the past, I might have asked my men to send that blind little girl to far far away, so that two of them wouldn’t have chance to meet each other.”
It took such big effort for Er Dong Hao to raise such outstanding, talented and best son, after all his son wanted a blind little girl.
More Er Dong Hao thought about it more sullen he became.
“You know that your son has grown up, he isn’t a child anymore, he doesn’t need you to make path for him. Moreover thing that related to feeling, it hard to say, since he likes Lin Yi, let him be then. Don’t get involved and meddled. But, are you really sure Xiao Di likes Lin Yi?”
Zhang Xiao was thinking whether she should to see Lin Yi or not?
Er Dong Hao humped and said: “He has taken Lin Yi to Ming Liu Yuan, he even let Lin Yi to stay at Liu Ming Yuan for sometime.”
Zhang Xiao and Mu Chen exchanged their glance, it was so rarely for Mu Chen to pat Er Dong Hao’s shoulder alike old best friend, he even praised Er Dong Hao: “Congratulation to you, soon you will level up to be grandpa, Xiao Di is younger that my Mu Zhang, Mu Zhang is playful, he looked alike Peter Pan, never grown up. I am so worried about his future, don’t know where his girlfriend, afraid the person hasn’t born, if it happened, he might become old cow eats green grass. I am sorry, I have out the topic.”
Er Dong Hao glared at him. “Mu Chen, you laugh at my pain, my son is outstanding person, after all he falls for someone who comes from low class, moreover this girl is blind person. But, I am not worried, two of them are still so young, both of them just eighteen years old, time is going to be their biggest obstacle, perhaps later in the future, my son might find a girl alike Mu Ya.”
“As long as you are not getting involved with Xiao Di’s relationship, it is good enough.” Zhang Xiao kept on reminding Er Dong Hao, she afraid because he dislikes Lin Yi then he might do anything in order to separate Er Xiao Di and Lin Yi, if he does it then it would only worsen father and son relationship, “You should learn from Wan Ting’s experience, the story between Wan Ting and Qian Ya really a bloody warning.”
Er Dong Hao took another sip of the tea, murmured: “I have known you must have sided that little brat, no wonder that little brat doesn’t afraid me, this father, after all you are sided him.” Zhang Xiao is his weakness, so that his son holding tight this weakness of him.
Zhang Xiao’s smiled disappeared, “You must have wished to see Xiao Di happy, mustn’t you?” She believed if the love Er Dong Hao has for his son is real.
Er Dong Hao put down his cup of tea, and then he was sitting leaning to the sofa, he silent for few minutes, finally he sighed: “It seems thing is started from my aunt generation, Er’s family has tough romantic relationship. My aunt doesn’t marry for her entire life, while me… I have disappointed Xiao Di’s mother, thus I really don’t want Xiao Di walked my old path, I really wish he can get his happiness. The matter is Lin Yi cannot see, I afraid she would be burdened for Xiao Di.”
Although Earl family doesn’t entirely expand it business in mafia, but thing that happened in mafia, of course Earl family and Huo Yan Men still get updated.
Within these ten years, the conflict among organizations and mafia groups have been so fierce, there still some people that wanted to pull both Earl family and Huo Yan Men to their side, but after they refused by them, perhaps some might bear grudge, so that Er Dong Hao still closely watching their movement, he wouldn’t let these people give trouble to Earl family, but he still worried that ferocious people might make moves, especially during the transition time when he gives his authority to his son, after all his son still too young, those ferocious people are not afraid of his son and see Er Xiao Feng as nothing to fear of.
These worries, Er Dong Hao didn’t say out.
He also believed, Ning Zhi Yuan is also doing the same thing, watching those people, but Ning Zhi Yuan doesn’t need to worry, after all Ning family has pair of twins who really inherited Ning Zhi Yuan’s calmness and fierce, they are completely different with Er Xiao Feng who is so nice and kind.
There was a time, Er Dong Hao really felt so regretted to take his son to Mu family, under the care of Zhang Xiao and Mu Ya, his son not really inherited his fierce nature, but, in front of Zhang Xiao, Er Dong Hao still showing his soft side.
If this is so, doesn’t his son still inherit his character?
“I don’t wish Xiao Di acted to over-protective protecting Lin Yi, if Lin Yi really wanted to stay together with Xiao Di, she must learn to take care herself, Xiao Di cannot marry someone with fragile heart as wife.” Before Er Dong Hao left the house, he did try to test Lin Yi with his words, but at the same time, he didn’t know whether Lin Yi understood it or not.
Mu Chen continued: “As a man, if one cannot protect his own wife, does the person still can be called as a man? If Xiao Di willingly to take care and protect Lin Yi, then it means he is real man, could it be you are expecting Xiao Di become someone who cannot take care and protect his own wife? Lin Yi’s eyes cannot see, is there really no way for her to get back her vision? How can you called her fragile heart? Although we never met her, although we don’t know much about her, but we know she is strong person.”
Er Dong Hao did hit someone when he was on the way to Mu Ya’s wedding, after that he has been taking care of the victim’s children. Regarding this matter, Mu Chen and others knew it, moreover they even paid attention to the case, as long as Er Xiao Feng needs help, they would be there to help him.
So that Mu’s husband and wife have been feeling so familiar to Lin Yi, it could be said, they knew about Lin Yi and how she look, all from Mu Hao, it is only they haven’t seen her in person.
Since Er Xiao Feng has interested to her, it is obvious she does have something in her.
Er Dong Hao didn’t say anything.
Half hour later, he stood up, he said to Zhang Xiao: “My Ming Liu Yuan also planted many kind of flowers, the flowers blooming astonishingly, tomorrow you go to my place to see the flowers, I will ask my men to cook delicious food for you.
Mu Chen unhappily said: “Er Dong Hao, the flowers in our home is enough to see, no need to go to your Ming Liu Yuan, since your Ming Liu Yuan has many flowers, I beg you later don’t come to my house and ruin my flowers.”
“I just want to ruin your flower, so that Zhang Xiao would come to my house to see flowers.”
Mu Chen: …
While Zhang Xiao was acting as if she doesn’t see these two men, she just did her best as the Madam of house, after she sent off Er Dong Hao, Mu Chen’s face turned to be darker to few shades. After he waited for Zhang Xiao to send off Er Dong Hao, slowly he went over, Mu Chen with his domineering voice said: “Wife, you are not allowed to go to Ming Liu Yuan!”
If she goes there, Er Dong Hao might have thousand ways to make her stay at there.
Mu Chen still remembered when he was still young, Er Dong Hao had done many ways to make Zhang Xiao stayed at Ming Liu Yuan, he wanted to house arrest her in Ming Liu Yuan. Mu Chen has trauma toward Ming Liu Yuan, although he often visited Ming Liu Yuan.
Zhang Xiao looked at her husband, she really lazy to respond to his domineering words.
