Transmigrating to the 80s to Become Stepmom to Five Bigwigs

Chapter 169: Xiao Xue, Here Comes Another Wealthy Husband

Although Old Lady Mu had accepted them, Mu Xue had originally planned on holding on to her pride and not touching those things. However, because she couldn’t stand the gazes of the people in the village, Mu Xue couldn’t help but go to the county city to seek peace.

She had originally thought that Tang Moling would regret it and come back to look for her, but he hadn’t come at all. Her mood became even worse. It wasn’t easy for her to come back to Great Eastern Village, and now that she had seen the glamorous Mu Jingzhe, she felt uncomfortable. Thus, she decided to bring her grandmother along to buy clothes.

Old Lady Mu also mentioned that she wanted a woolen shirt and leather shoes to compete with Li Zhaodi. After she bought them, she came out of the department store and saw a familiar car.

Old Lady Mu and Mu Xue looked over at the same time and saw Tang Moling getting out of the car. Tang Moling, who didn’t see them, walked reluctantly to another car and knocked on the glass.

Then, a man in a black coat got out of the car. He was tall and slender and looked indescribably elegant.

He was wearing a suit and a tie under his coat. His hair was very long and curly, which complemented his fair skin. He looked like a prince from a fairy tale.

He was completely different from Tang Moling. Tang Moling, who was the center of attention no matter where he went, had dimmed a lot as he stood beside him.

This was the first time Mu Xue had seen such a person, and she was stunned. Beside her, Old Lady Mu wasn’t that different. She had a nagging feeling that this person looked like someone who had walked out of a movie, or perhaps, he was the kind of wealthy young master she had seen when she was young.

The two of them stood rooted to the ground. It wasn’t until that person got in the car that Tang Moling’s shout brought them back to their senses.

“Uncle, you’re doing this on purpose again!”

Tang Moling had thought that since his uncle had woken up, he wouldn’t be so busy anymore. After all, he was no longer the heir. In the end, things hadn’t gone according to his wishes. His uncle had arranged even more work for him, and he was even busier than before.

In the past, he used to have a lot of time. Now, he even had to squeeze out some time to sleep, but because everything he was tasked with was important, he couldn’t be willful.

He had at last had some free time today and he’d wanted to look for Mu Jingzhe. In the end, his uncle had come back from the capital and given him a pile of work.

If Tang Moling still didn’t realize what his uncle was up to, he would be a fool.

His uncle was doing this on purpose. He was deliberately keeping him busy so that he wouldn’t have time to look for Mu Jingzhe. He was delaying his actions. This was simply despicable.

Tang Moling clung to the car and refused to let go, glaring at Ji Buwang, who was in the car. “Uncle, don’t think I don’t know what you’re thinking. You can’t do this. You’re the heir. Don’t even think about slacking off.”

“I have my own business. Stop fooling around.” Ji Buwang didn’t feel guilty at all about being exposed. He pushed Tang Moling’s hand instead. “Let go, I’m busy.”

“What can you possibly be busy with after pushing all the work on me? You just want to find Mu Jingzhe. Don’t think that I don’t know. Uncle, don’t go overboard. If you push me over the edge, I’m not going to…”

“Don’t you dare.” Ji Buwang removed Tang Moling’s hand from his car. “Be good and listen to me. Uncle will give you a big red packet during the New Year.”

“I don’t want a big red packet. I’m an adult now!” Tang Moling felt like he was going crazy every time he faced his uncle.

“I can tell that you still want a big red packet just by looking at how angry you are. Uncle has been in a coma for four years. Don’t you feel sorry for me? Can you bear to see Uncle tired? You’re young and strong, so you should work harder.”

Ji Buwang coughed, as if to make a point, causing Tang Moling to feel a trace of heartache and guilt.

His uncle had been in a coma for four years. In the last year, he had only visited his uncle twice and he had even stolen his uncle’s identity as the heir…

While Tang Moling was still in a daze, Ji Buwang drove off.

When Tang Moling came back to his senses, he called out for his uncle, but the car didn’t stop at all. Then, Tang Moling got in his car and left angrily.

Old Lady Mu looked at Mu Xue. “I didn’t expect Tang Moling’s uncle to be so young. I thought he would be in his thirties or forties. I didn’t expect him to be this young at all.”

Mu Xue nodded gently. “Mm.”

“He’s really young. Look at that noble aura he exudes. He’s indeed the successor of a large family.” Old Lady Mu looked at Mu Xue with a glint in her eyes. She felt that this uncle must be the true successor. He was a good match for Xiao Xue.

Mu Xue didn’t reply. She lowered her head and seemed to be thinking about something. “Grandma, let’s go back first.”

She wasn’t worthy of such a person. Besides, she had been engaged to Tang Moling before, so it would be inappropriate.

In the past, Mu Xue wouldn’t have thought about these things. She didn’t care about family background or stuff like that. As long as they were in love, nothing was more important. However, after what had happened with Tang Moling, she had started to take such things into consideration.

Now that Tang Moling had broken off the engagement, she obviously hated him, but because of the disparity in their backgrounds, there was nothing she could do.

Mu Xue was rational and didn’t think too much about it. However, on the way back with her grandmother, she bumped into Tang Moling’s uncle again.

His car was parked by the road, and he was leaning against it. He was holding a pager and looking at something.

Old Lady Mu also saw him and quickly patted Mu Xue’s hand. “Xiao Xue, stop the bicycle!”

Old Lady Mu was thrilled. She had been thinking it was a pity that her granddaughter hadn’t had a chance to get acquainted with this man and she hadn’t expected this opportunity to present itself.

During this period of time, she had been waiting for Little Xue’s wealthy husband to come for real. She had been waiting anxiously. The heavens must have heard her prayers, and here was the opportunity!

Due to the fact that Mu Xue had taken a few more glances at Ji Buwang, when Old Lady Mu patted her, the bicycle became a little unstable. Afraid of falling, she quickly stopped.

Coincidentally, she stopped in front of Ji Buwang and saw him look over. Amid Old Lady Mu’s continuous urging, Mu Xue asked warmly, “Do you need help?”

She spoke in an open manner. If it were anyone else, she would have asked the same question.

“Thank you, but you might not be able to help. My car tire got punctured,” Ji Buwang replied politely without looking at Mu Xue.

Mu Xue was a little disappointed, but she replied, “There’s a car repair shop up ahead. Do you want me to ride over and help you call them?”

Ji Buwang looked at the presents in the car and thought for a while. “Sorry to trouble you.”

“You’re welcome. It’s nothing. In that case, wait here for a while. I’ll get them to come over quickly.” Mu Xue didn’t care that Old Madam Mu was holding her hand. Without saying anything, she hopped onto the bicycle and left.

Old Lady Mu anxiously said, “It’s such a rare opportunity. Xiao Xue, why didn’t you chat more with him? You didn’t even ask for his name.” This was such a scarce opportunity!

Mu Xue pursed her lips. “Grandma, don’t think too much. We’ll meet again if we’re fated to. Otherwise, we can’t force it.”

In the past, Grandma wouldn’t have been like this. Ever since her engagement had been broken off, Grandma’s attitude had changed and she’d started to panic.

Old Lady Mu thought for a moment and didn’t say anything else. When they arrived at the car repair shop, Mu Xue asked the auto mechanic to go over. Worried that they would be indifferent, she even paid the deposit beforehand to make sure they went there quickly.

She only left after she saw that the auto mechanic had left.

When the sun set, Mu Xue brought Old Lady Mu back to the village entrance. Just as they alighted, Old Lady Mu and Mu Xue realized that a car had arrived behind them. Surprisingly, it was Tang Moling’s uncle’s car, which they had seen before.

Mu Xue stared at the approaching car in a daze. As for Old Lady Mu, she was so excited that she said, “Xiao Xue, isn’t that the car we saw before? Don’t tell me he followed us here?”
