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

From his smile, Liu Shimei could tell that he was forcing it, but she didn’t 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 Shimei 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 Jiangli’s eyes. His gentle expression faded, and his thin lips tightened. He said, “There are things you’re better off not knowing. In any case, you’re doing well now.” “I’m doing well? Lord Mu, what aspect are you referring to?” Liu Shimei asked again, her tone becoming slightly urgent, crossing the boundaries of their relationship.

Mu Jiangli sighed and suddenly smiled. “It’s fortunate you’re the one saying these words to me. If it were someone else, they probably wouldn’t 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 Shimei’s face stiffened. She awkwardly smiled and said, “I apologize, Lord Mu. I’ve overstepped. I was just very curious and couldn’t help but ask.”

“It’s alright. Everyone has curiosity,” Mu Jiangli poured her a cup of tea and said, “I won’t hold it against you. However, when interacting with others outside, you should be more cautious. Curiosity killed the cat, after all.”

He didn’t say, ‘I don’t mind you prying into my privacy’, but rather, ‘I won’t mind’, which carried a different meaning.

Liu Shimei was once again taken aback. But remembering how he had put it earlier, she didn’t have the audacity to ask further. Instead, she redirected the conversation to Zhong Lang. “I’ve 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 Shimei didn’t 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 Lang’s words and offering no further comment.

Liu Shimei could tell at a glance: this man was extremely cunning, and if he didn’t 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. Zhong’s statements about the grudges between you, are they true?”

Mu Jiangli sighed, looked at her, and smiled faintly. “Shimei…” He paused and added, “Although it may not be very polite, may I address you this way?”

“You may,” Liu Shimei, a modern person, didn’t have the same ideas as people in ancient times, who reserved their names for close intimates. She naturally didn’t mind.

Of course, her silly dog might get jealous!

But in such matters, jealousy couldn’t 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.. There’s another

reason!”
