Mu Jiangli smiled faintly and said, Do you not remember?

From his smile, Liu s.h.i.+mei could tell that he was forcing it, but she didnt understand what he meant.

Judging by the att.i.tude of the Liang family, it seemed that there had been no previous connection between Mu Jiangli and them?

It was already a rude question, but Liu s.h.i.+mei was too curious to hold back. Forgive my intrusion, but Lord Mu, did you recognize me from a long time ago? The Liang family rarely interacts, so what about the Liu family?

When she mentioned the Liu family, a hint of hostility flashed in Mu Jianglis eyes. His gentle expression faded, and his thin lips tightened. He said, There are things youre better off not knowing. In any case, youre doing well now. Im doing well? Lord Mu, what aspect are you referring to? Liu s.h.i.+mei asked again, her tone becoming slightly urgent, crossing the boundaries of their relations.h.i.+p.

Mu Jiangli sighed and suddenly smiled. Its fortunate youre the one saying these words to me. If it were someone else, they probably wouldnt be getting such a pleasant answer.

With this statement, he was being remarkably clear about changing the subject, almost directly saying: Please stop prying into my privacy.

Liu s.h.i.+meis face stiffened. She awkwardly smiled and said, I apologize, Lord Mu. Ive overstepped. I was just very curious and couldnt help but ask.

Its alright. Everyone has curiosity, Mu Jiangli poured her a cup of tea and said, I wont hold it against you. However, when interacting with others outside, you should be more cautious. Curiosity killed the cat, after all.

He didnt say, I dont mind you prying into my privacy, but rather, I wont mind, which carried a different meaning.

Liu s.h.i.+mei was once again taken aback. But remembering how he had put it earlier, she didnt have the audacity to ask further. Instead, she redirected the conversation to Zhong Lang. Ive asked Zhong Lang about the grudge between you and Mr. Zhong.

Oh, how did he put it? Mu Jiangli held the teacup to his lips, took a sip, and savored the exquisite taste of the high-quality Biluochun tea leaves, their fragrance lingering between his teeth.

The Liang family had treated their guest, who had saved their daughter, with great hospitality. Even though Liu s.h.i.+mei didnt understand tea leaves, she found the tea quite enjoyable.

She briefly explained what Zhong Lang had said, paused, and then asked, So, does Lord Mu know this person, Wu Duosi?

I do, Mu Jiangli replied with a calm expression, not pointing out any inaccuracies in Zhong Langs words and offering no further comment.

Liu s.h.i.+mei could tell at a glance: this man was extremely cunning, and if he didnt want to share his own affairs with others, it would be difficult for anyone to uncover them. Moreover, he was low-key, not just wearing a literal mask but carrying an invisible one as well. He appeared gentle, but in reality he kept people at a distance!

Cold and aloof.

She asked again, So, Mr. Zhongs statements about the grudges between you, are they true?

Mu Jiangli sighed, looked at her, and smiled faintly. s.h.i.+mei He paused and added, Although it may not be very polite, may I address you this way?

You may, Liu s.h.i.+mei, a modern person, didnt have the same ideas as people in ancient times, who reserved their names for close intimates. She naturally didnt mind.

Of course, her silly dog might get jealous!

But in such matters, jealousy couldnt be indulged!

Mu Jiangli seemed somewhat pleased and said, What Zhong Lang said is indeed not false. But from my perspective, the reason for relentlessly pursuing him time and again is not solely because of his breach of trust.. Theres another

reason!
