But the table behind was quietly gossiping, "I heard her son had a child with that girl without getting married first."
"Isn’t that an illegitimate daughter then?"
"Exactly, I also heard that the girl dating her son is the orphan left by the deceased wife of the Qin City mayor. Feng Fanghua dares to accept such a girl from that background."
"Alas, probably she didn’t have a say in it, their family’s young master’s decisions are likely not up for their old couple to make."
"It’s still not proper, the two of them having a child out of wedlock, that girl can’t be any decent good girl."
"Young and vigorous as Mr. Mu is..."
A few women were whispering among themselves, and the more they talked, the more they seemed convinced, yet they neglected the person sitting behind them.
Feng Fanghua found it increasingly grating to her ears, they actually called her granddaughter illegitimate and said her daughter-in-law was a disreputable girl, she picked up her hand and tapped the edge of the table, not waiting for Mu Zihao to pull her, she had already turned around.
"Hey, can you few decent old women keep your voices down? I’m still here and you’re being so brazen, why don’t you take the microphone and announce it on stage?"
The women were startled by her outburst and didn’t dare to speak, the bolder ones putting on a smile: Mrs. Mu, we were just blabbering, don’t take it seriously, we’ll punish ourselves.
The speaking woman immediately raised her hand and gently tapped her own cheek.
"Hmph, virtue indeed!"
Feng Fanghua turned her head away, cold-faced and unimpressed by the woman’s flattery.
To say that those who could attend this charity dinner were also all extraordinary people, but Feng Fanghua was always like that, doing whatever she wished, never changing over the years.
"Who does she think she is? Always cold-faced, as if we owe her something."
A woman muttered in dissatisfaction.
"If you don’t want to eat then get lost!"
After all, the hotel belonged to Mu Yichen, and as his mother attending the dinner, she was even less afraid of anyone.
These words immediately angered the woman, who stood up and walked away.
Quite a few media present turned their cameras towards them.
By the time she got back it was after eleven, and as Feng Fanghua entered the hall she complained: What kind of people are they? With no manners at all, could such people really give donations in good conscience?
"Real or not real, isn’t it fine as long as the money is handed over? Why get so upset?"
"I hate those who are two-faced the most, and besides, they spoke that way about my granddaughter, and that girl, how could I not flip out?"
"Your mouth might be satisfied, but tomorrow’s newspapers, you’ll see, will definitely give you a harsh write-up."
Since Mu Yichen had also just returned, Qin Mu had been waiting in the living room for him, and after chatting for a few moments, they heard the elders return and Qin Mu involuntarily stood up at the sound of Feng Fanghua’s words.
"What happened? Who’s bullying you?"
Qin Mu asked anxiously.
"Bullying me?" Feng Fanghua couldn’t believe her ears, thinking there might be a problem with them, for in this world, the person daring to bully her had not yet been born.
"Hmph, even if someone did bully me, so what? Would you dare to take revenge for me?"
Qin Mu thought for a moment, her large eyes filled with sincerity, and she earnestly nodded her head.
That look of not using her brain, yet also deeply thoughtful, warmed Feng Fanghua’s heart, and it took several seconds before she spoke again: "Forget it, lest Mr. Mu says I’m bullying his wife again."
Mu Yichen sat there in silence, but he had heard some of the excitement from the charity dinner that day.
"I heard you were schooling people again on such an occasion?"
"What? Not happy about it?"
"No, I just think your daughter-in-law could learn a lot from you."
Qin Mu looked down at him, thinking he found her easy to push around? Today Qin Mingzhu tried to provoke her but she didn’t get bullied at all, in fact, she had put Qin Mingzhu and her group in their place.
"Hmph, I can’t be bothered to argue with you, go check on my granddaughter!"
Feng Fanghua had just sat down and then stood up again, but before going upstairs she looked at Qin Mu: "You didn’t take my granddaughter out for fast food today, did you?"
"We ate lunch at a restaurant at noon, and dinner at home."
Qin Mu immediately reported.
"That’s more like it."
After Feng Fanghua left, Mu Zihao couldn’t help but sigh: Your mother!
"Auntie is quite nice!"
Qin Mu couldn’t help but speak the truth.
Mu Zihao smiled, not sure what he was thinking, suddenly looking up at her: "Don’t you want to change your address?"
Mu Yichen heard this and turned to look at Qin Mu: "Mrs. Mu, are you even sensible?"
