CHAPTER 201: CHAPTER 200: CALL ME AUNTIE

Ling Yueyue quickly caught the slip in her words, "Ahem, what did you just call Mu Beiting?"

"Uh...!" Xie Yunlu suddenly realized she had called out Mu Beiting’s name in her panic.

If it were in private, calling him that wouldn’t matter!

But now, guests were present, so calling Mu Beiting by his name in front of so many people was quite improper.

Sure enough, when Xie Yunlu called out Mu Beiting’s name, Mu Huajian’s expression instantly darkened.

Ling Yueyue shook her head, deliberately lamenting, "Xie Yunlu, I’m not criticizing you, but our Mr. Huo is Mu Beiting’s brother. I’m Mrs. Huo, so we’re equals with Mu Beiting. Calling him by his name is normal! But you’re different; you are Mu Beiting’s niece-in-law. How can you call your husband’s uncle by his name? You should address him as ’Uncle’!"

"Uh...!" Xie Yunlu’s mouth opened, but she couldn’t bring herself to say it.

Seeing her at a loss, Ling Yueyue felt a burst of satisfaction inside.

How dare she bully my Anxin, she’s just asking for it!

Wasn’t she planning to invite Anxin and then humiliate her harshly?

Well, let’s see who really ends up humiliated today! Xie Yunlu will learn what it means to bring shame upon oneself.

Seeing Mu Rufeng and Xie Yunlu both silent, Ling Yueyue impatiently reminded them, "Hey... what’s with standing around? Shouldn’t you call Aunt?"

"...!" Mu Rufeng tightly pressed his lips together, refusing to speak.

Xie Yunlu also kept her mouth shut, gritting her teeth.

Inside, Ling Yueyue was already laughing gleefully, although she had to maintain an earnest expression on her face, "If you don’t call out soon, people might say you lack manners! Look around, today’s guests include many distinguished figures! You don’t want them to say you were poorly raised, do you?"

At this point, Mu Huajian frowned in displeasure and spoke, "Rufeng!"

Mu Rufeng continued to grit his teeth, unwilling to utter a word.

From childhood, he refused to call Mu Beiting ’uncle’.

To him, Mu Beiting was nothing but a Mu Family’s illegitimate child, a bastard! Not worthy of being called uncle by him, the eldest son of Mu Family.

If it weren’t for Mu Beiting, he wouldn’t be in his current predicament; it was Mu Beiting who took everything that originally belonged to him.

Calling Mu Beiting ’uncle’ was something he could never bring himself to do, even if Mu Beiting was not present, he still couldn’t say it!

Furthermore, he would also have to call the woman he loved most ’aunt’!

He couldn’t do it!

Mu Rufeng’s refusal to speak made the surrounding atmosphere quite bizarre.

Mu Huajian’s expression also became increasingly unpleasant.

Seeing things were not right, Mu’s mother hurriedly tugged at Mu Rufeng’s sleeve and whispered into his ear, "Rufeng, patience in small matters leads to greater achievements, call out! A true man knows when to yield and stretch, we will reclaim today’s humiliation someday!"

Mu Rufeng’s brow was furrowed tightly in frustration.

Mu’s mother pulled hard on Mu Rufeng’s sleeve again,

Mu Rufeng gritted his teeth and finally slowly said, "It’s Uncle!"

"Exactly, it’s Uncle, not Mu Beiting!" Ling Yueyue laughed and then looked over at Xie Yunlu, her eyes full of challenge.

Xie Yunlu gritted her teeth and said, "I misspoke earlier; it’s not Mu Beiting but Uncle!"

Ling Yueyue persisted, "And for Uncle’s wife? What should you call her?"

Xie Yunlu’s face changed drastically, and she shrieked, "Ling Yueyue, that’s enough! Don’t push your luck!"

Ling Yueyue pretended to be timid, hiding behind Huo Junmo’s back, she said pitifully, "Mr. Huo, someone is yelling at your Mrs. Huo here!"

Huo Junmo barely held in his laughter, patting Ling Yueyue’s hand that was clinging to his arm, his sharp gaze sweeping warningly over Xie Yunlu.

Xie Yunlu immediately felt a chill and closed her mouth quickly.

The Jin City Five Young Masters were not people she could afford to provoke!

Since Ling Yueyue was now Mrs. Huo, with Huo Junmo backing her up, even if she was furious, there was nothing she could do to her!

Mu’s mother suppressed her anger and spoke, "You say they are married, but where is the evidence?"

Ling Yueyue sneered and persisted, "Haha, who carries a marriage certificate around with them? Even if they aren’t married, Anxin is Mu Beiting’s girlfriend right now, the only female companion Mu Beiting has taken out! For the sake of etiquette, shouldn’t you call her Aunt?"

Today, no matter what, I’m going to speak up for Anxin!

Weren’t they trying to embarrass Anxin? Let’s see exactly who is embarrassed!

"You...!" Xie Yunlu was fuming, but couldn’t refute Ling Yueyue’s words.

Indeed! Even if Ye Anxin hadn’t registered with Mu Beiting, based on their current relationship, she should be addressed as Aunt! After all, the hierarchy was clear!

Ignoring Xie Yunlu’s face, which was flushed with anger, Ling Yueyue impatiently urged, "Call out, call out, hurry up and call out!"

Mu Huajian unhappily reminded, "Rufeng, Yunlu!"

Mu Rufeng’s hands clenched into fists; calling Mu Beiting Uncle earlier was already tough enough, now being asked to call Anxin Aunt was impossible for him.

"Ahem, call her!" Ling Yueyue’s tone was even more impatient.

Ye Anxin stood there watching Ling Yueyue’s excellent performance, unable to resist the urge to give the thumbs up.

Only Yueyue could say such things. If it were her, she would definitely be speechless!

"Rufeng!" Although Mu’s mother was furious and unwilling, she understood that in such a situation, no matter how dissatisfied she felt, she had to endure.

Compared to the younger generation, she was more able to stay composed.

"A-Aunt!" Under Mu’s mother’s warning gaze, Mu Rufeng whispered hesitantly.

"What did you say? The voice was too quiet, I didn’t hear it clearly!" To emphasize the faultlessness, Ling Yueyue deliberately put her hand beside her ear, pretending to listen carefully.

"Aunt!" Mu Rufeng shouted again, almost forcing the words through gritted teeth.

"That’s better!" Hearing Mu Rufeng’s gritting voice, Ling Yueyue felt extremely pleased and quickly turned to Ye Anxin, "Anxin, aren’t you going to respond?"

Suddenly being addressed, Ye Anxin was momentarily stunned, "Ah! How should I respond?"

"He’s calling you Aunt! How should you reply?" Ling Yueyue said as she kept winking at Ye Anxin to remind her.

"Oh, oh, oh! Very good!" Ye Anxin understood and immediately smiled back.

Upon hearing her response, Mu Rufeng’s face was worse than a cesspool, darker than the bottom of a pot.

With Mu Rufeng sorted, Ling Yueyue turned her attention back to Xie Yunlu, "And you! Your man has called, shouldn’t you also call out!"

"...!" Xie Yunlu gritted her teeth, her eyes blood-red, glaring maliciously at Ling Yueyue, wishing she could tear her apart.

Seeing the situation, Ling Yueyue shrank back behind Huo Junmo again, "Mr. Huo, I’m so scared!"

Huo Junmo’s face tightened, glaring at Xie Yunlu cooperatively, his eyes full of warning.
