Chapter 78 An Tong

Order whatever you want to eat and eat well; that's what Hongyun means.

Li Mu scoffed but didn't say anything. The family's eyes lit up when the food was served.

The youngest child in the Mi family pointed to the abalone and kept muttering "abalone, abalone."

His parents ignored him and continued to eat and drink without paying any attention to him.

The child broke free from his mother's embrace and climbed onto the table, grabbing an abalone with his little hand, about to put it to his little mouth and take a bite.

He tripped and fell, sending a plate of abalone flying and splattering soup all over the floor.

The family didn't seem to care at all and continued eating and drinking.

Li Mu reacted quickly and got up to avoid the splashing soup.

You guys eat first, I have something to do so I'll be leaving now.

With that, Li Mu walked out without looking back.

Thinking about the jade pendant, she called Qin Yin.

Qin Yin was reviewing documents when the phone rang. He answered it without even looking at it.

Uncle Qin, this is Li Mu.

When Qin Yin heard the little girl's voice, his tightly furrowed brows unconsciously relaxed.

What's wrong, little girl? Is something the matter?

Uncle Qin, I'd like to ask if there's any progress on the jade pendant matter?

Yes, that's what we're asking about. It's still under investigation.

I'm here, but I have to get busy, so I'll hang up now.

The phone went dead.

While he was still in a daze, the phone rang again; it was Lu Wan calling.

Hey, what's wrong with Lu Wan?

Mumu, I'm on vacation this morning. I know a dessert shop that's really delicious. Let's go there together.

I'm right outside. Send me your address and I'll come find you.

Lu Wan gave him a ticket to a popular online dessert shop. Li Mu went inside and went up to the second floor, where he saw Lu Wan waving at him.

Li Mu then sat down.

Lu Wan ordered a lot of desserts and a cup of coffee, and the two started chatting.

You are Antong.

Yes, Auntie, I am Antong.

Antong, this is my son.

An Tong nodded to the man.

My family owns a company, and my son drives a BMW. When you get married, we plan to buy you a Mercedes. We have prepared 200,000 yuan for the bride price.

Once you marry into our family, you should quit your job. My son can support you. Just stay home and give me a big, healthy grandson.

I'm sorry, Auntie, I don't think I'm suitable.

Don't worry, this little hoof can't run.

Let me tell you, no one can resist the woman my son has his eye on. You will be my son's wife sooner or later.

Your mother has already agreed, and our family will transfer the money tomorrow. Do you think it's possible for you to go back on your word?

The man shook the woman's arm and said, "Mom, I want him. I like him."

Lu Wan noticed the mother and son from the beginning, and felt a chill when she saw the man shaking his mother's arm.

When Lu Wan saw him call An Tong, it was as if she saw her past self.

Mumu, should we help that girl? I feel like she's in trouble.

Li Mu nodded in agreement, "Leave it to me."

"Mama's boy," a cold voice came.

When Li Mu came out to help the girl named An Tong out of a difficult situation.

Qin Yin walked up and found a corner to watch quietly.

The man who was called a "mama's boy" turned to Li Mu.

The mother of the "mama's boy" looked at Li Mu with great dissatisfaction.

Just as he was about to say something, the mama's boy grabbed his mother's hand and said, "Mom, that one is prettier than this one. I want this one, Mom."

Her expression softened somewhat upon hearing her son's wish.

Young lady, how old are you? What do you do? How many people are in your family? Are your parents still alive?

Li Mu gave An Tong, who was behind him, a look, signaling that he could leave.

An Tong nodded gratefully and carefully walked out.

A playful glint flashed across Li Mu's face as she pretended to be a demure young woman.

Auntie, I'm almost 23 and I'm working. There are more than ten people in my family.

"Oh dear, there are more than ten people in the family, it's hard to feed them all." The woman looked at her with some disdain.

Are you married? How is your financial situation?

I'm not married, and my financial situation is such that, barring unforeseen circumstances, I can save about 80% of my monthly salary.

The little girl's quick wit and sharp tongue are so adorable.

The woman's eyes lit up. She wasn't married, and she still managed to save so much of her monthly salary—she was quite frugal!

Hearing this, Lu Wan was trying not to laugh, her body trembling uncontrollably. She was exhausted from holding back her laughter.

Before you get married, take a look at my son and see what he's like.

My family owns a company, and my son drives a BMW. When you get married, we plan to buy you a Mercedes. We have prepared 200,000 yuan for the bride price.

Hearing the woman about to repeat herself, Li Mu quickly stopped her.

Your son is too outstanding; I feel I am not up to the task.

Li Mu gestured to Lu Wan that she could leave, and Lu Wan got up and followed Li Mu out.

The mama's boy kept calling out "Wife, wife," and grabbed Li Mu's wrist.

Before Li Mu could make a move, she saw a large hand shove the mama's boy's hand away, sending him flying and crashing into a sofa some distance away.

Luckily, there weren't many people on the second floor, otherwise we would definitely have been surrounded by onlookers.

You dare hit my son? My family owns a company. You dare hit my son?

Qin Yin stood there without saying a word.

He carefully wiped his hands with a handkerchief, then put on his gold-rimmed glasses.

He took out another handkerchief from his pocket and handed it to Li Mu.

Li Mu was somewhat puzzled.
