Chapter 65 - Banquet (2)
Feeling reassured, his lips curved upward and he said, “My mother died the year I turned 14. My dad’s still alive and kicking. As for the generation above that, there are my grandmother and Aunt Hu, who had taken care of grandmother since she was a child. Well, we say “taking care of”, but Aunt Hu is not young anymore. She mainly stays there to keep my grandmother company now. I also have two aunties, both of them married. My second aunty is the one who stays with my grandmother a lot. Her daughter stays oversea with her entire family and my uncle is always busy with work, so you will see her a lot when you go over to the Mu’s. Because of Liang ZhiQuan, my family doesn’t like you much and probably won’t be too nice to you this time when you go over either.”
After his brief introduction of his family situation, he held her hand with his large hand and said, “But, don’t worry about a thing. I will be there and won’t let them go too far.”
The situation with his family was exactly the same as it was described in the book.
Xu WanZhi nodded at him, gesturing that she understood everything that he had just told her. “My family… I have an older sister. She’s still single. My mom passed away early and my father, too, is alive and kicking. I don’t have a lot of contact with him anymore. He only remembers me when he needs money so I blocked him a while back.”
“It seems we are quite alike in that perspective, would you say?”
Mu ZhenYu leaned closer to her. “I only told you all that to prep you for the Mu’s family banquet. Why did you tell me about yourself? Do you think we are matchmaking right now?”
The man seemed to have become even more attractive after she hadn’t seen him in a while…
Xu WanZhi blushed a little and said, “I was… reporting the situation to my employer.”
He chuckled and put out his cigarette.
On the night of the banquet, Xu WanZhi changed into the dress that Mu ZhenYu had gotten for her early in time and headed with him over to the Mu’s mansion.
Although, even though it was a “house banquet”, but the entire living room on the first floor was completely empty. Not even an aunty was there to wait on them.
The Mu’s seemed to want to give the “fox demon” Xu WanZhi a wake up call by ignoring her.*
Xu WanZhi exercised her usual principle of performing the job that she was paid to do and didn’t let this bother her. She picked the couch that looked the most comfortable, took a seat, and waited for the old madam to “summon” her.
After a while, an old lady with a gold and silver jewelries on her walked into the living room. As soon as she walked inside, she looked Xu WanZhi up and down with a look of contempt. The You-Are-Nothing-If-Not-For-Mu ZhenYu look was all over her face.
Judging from her temperament, this was not the old madam of the Mu’s, this was Aunt Hu whom Mu ZhenYu had told her about earlier in time.
While sizing Xu WanZhi up and down, she walked slowly over to Mu ZhenYu. “Hi, ZhenYu, you are back eh? Why don’t you go over to the old madam first? She really misses you.”
“Mmm.” Mu ZhenYu put his hand on Xu WanZhi’s shoulder and said, “I will only be gone for a little while. You wait for me here. Call me if anyone gives you a hard time.”
That was obviously meant for Aunt Hu and Aunt Hu got it as well. She bobbed her head unhappily and made another snide remark. “A girl who was so good at kissing up to someone of power, who’d…”
She didn’t get to finish her sentence before she was stopped by a piercing look from Mu ZhenYu. She quickly turned around and took Mu ZhenYu to the old madam.
Xu WanZhi, having nothing better to do, sat there and eavesdropped on what was going on.

Translator's Notes:
“Fox demon” also refers to a human woman who’s good at seducing man. Quotes around “fox demon” because the Mu’s didn’t really know that this is truly a fox demon.
