Chapter 1369: Yun Jian’s Reflex—Stealthy Like a Ghost
As Yang spoke, she gave her daughter a shove with the intention to throw her daughter toward Leng Hanzhe.
The status and influence of Leng Hanzhe’s family was not what Mu Family could compare to. Although both families had been close friends, not only was Leng Family stronger than Mu Family in the military, Leng Family was also involved in business and was rapid in developing it. Its business achievement was even known across Country Z.
Yang was not stupid. She knew what a gem Leng Hanzhe was and desperately wanted her daughter to cling to him. As for Mu Ying, she had always disliked the girl, so it was natural that she was also hostile to Yun Jian whom Mu Ying brought home.
Mu Rou was Mu Ying’s younger cousin but both of them were not on friendly terms. When Mu Rou heard her mother, she glared at Mu Ying before pushing herself to Leng Hanzhe.
“Hanzhe-gege, you haven’t visited me in a long time. Rou’er-meimei misses you so much…” Mu Rou said in a cutesy voice as she tried to throw herself at Leng Hanzhe.
Before she could do it, Leng Hanzhe avoided her.
“Mu Rou, please have some respect for yourself,” Leng Hanzhe said impassively. There would only be a change of expression on his face when he was faced with Mu Ying.
Mu Rou was left standing awkwardly on the spot while Yang was also embarrassed.
“Yun Jian, let’s go to the back of the house.” Mu Ying ignored Yang and Mu Rou’s reaction, planning to take Yun Jian to the back of the mansion directly.
Mu Ying had never acknowledged Yang and Mu Rou. She was not interested nor had the effort to play along in the ploys of her so-called aunt and cousin. If it were not for her current grandparents who were nice to her, she would have moved out a long time ago.
“The back of the house? Mu Ying, stand right there! How dare you bring an outsider there? Have you lost your mind? It’s a training place for members of Mu Family only! You…”
Yang looked affronted when she heard Mu Ying and rushed up to block Mu Ying and Yun Jian’s way and stop them from going to the backdoor of the mansion.
“Outsiders are prohibited? Why have I never heard of this? Leng Hanzhe frequents there, doesn’t he? He doesn’t carry the last name Mu,” Mu Ying retorted with a scowl.
Leng Hanzhe was slightly disappointed when he heard Mu Ying calling him by his full name but he was also happy that his Yingying had brought him up.
In contrast to Leng Hanzhe’s feelings, Yang glowered.
It was correct that the back of Mu Family’s mansion was a specialized training place. Mu Family was a military family; all the men in the house served in the military while half of the women enlisted themselves as well.
As the patriarch of the military family, Mu Ying’s grandfather had prepared this specialized training ground a long time ago just for the family members to practice and train themselves to protect the country. The simple training ground was at the back of the mansion.
Yang had stopped Yun Jian purely because she did not like Mu Ying. That was why she made up an excuse to stop Yun Jian from going. It was just that Mu Ying’s retort stunned her.
That was right. Yang had stopped Yun Jian with the reason that the latter was not from Mu Family but Leng Hanzhe was also not from Mu Family yet he had gone to the training ground at the back of the house more than once in the past.
While Yang was caught speechless, Mu Ying had already pulled Yun Jian to the backdoor and pulled the door open.
“Ah! Hey, hey, hey! Watch out for the fan!” The moment the backdoor was opened, a girl who was training in the back of the house failed to catch the folding fan she was flicking and accidentally hurled it toward Yun Jian.
The girl cried out in shock while Mu Ying blinked. Mu Rou and Yang who stood farther away wore a gloating expression.
Just when the fan was about to hit Yun Jian’s delicate face, she suddenly extended her arm and caught the fan securely without even looking at how it was flying to her, stealthy and silent like a ghost.
The scene shocked Yang and Mu Rou who were watching.
