Chapter 1001: 80th Birthday Banquet 22
When the banquet started, Mu Tiantian and Mu Haiyun stood behind the birthday star, Mu Qinghan, and she couldn’t even remember what everyone was saying, her mind kept revolving around what Mu Haiyang had told her that evening.
If not for a sudden tug on her hand, Mu Tiantian would still be lost in thought.
"Tian Tian, Grandpa is calling you!"
Mu Tiantian quickly looked at Mu Qinghan and saw Mu Qinghan looking at her with a loving smile, seemingly inviting her to come to his side.
"Tian Tian, come here!"
Seeing his little granddaughter staring wide-eyed, clearly in disbelief, Mu Qinghan felt even more tender and affectionate.
His voice was also more loving and gentle.
"Come quickly!"
Mu Tiantian finally snapped back to reality, almost instinctively glancing at the people beside her. The moment she saw Bai Chenyao, she broke into a sweet smile and quickly walked over to Mu Qinghan’s side.
"Grandpa!"
Mu Qinghan gently responded, then turned his gaze to the people below.
"Everyone, this is my granddaughter, Mu Tiantian, who recently returned to the country. Today, she formally meets everyone!"
When Mu Qinghan introduced Mu Tiantian, he confirmed Mu Tiantian’s identity as the Second Miss of the Mu Family, but he didn’t talk about her past, only mentioning that she had recently returned to the country.
Many who were unaware of the truth would assume she had been studying abroad like the eldest Miss of the Mu Family, and some even wondered when Mrs. Mu gave birth to this Second Miss, doing it so silently.
But considering how the Mu Family had faded from public view over the years, it’s normal not to know certain things since it wasn’t until Mr. Mu’s 80th birthday that they reappeared in front of people.
However, those who knew the truth couldn’t help but give Mu Tiantian a second glance.
After all, back then, Mu Yi’s affair with Zhang Xiaozhi caused quite a stir, and Mr. Mu’s retirement from politics had some connection to that incident.
To think, more than 20 years later, Mr. Mu would hold in high regard the grandchildren born to the woman who cost him his career, astonished everyone.
As people looked at Mu Tiantian, their gaze inevitably swept towards the Zhang Family and the Shen Family in the crowd.
For Mu Haiyang and Mu Tiantian’s mother was Zhang Xiaozhi, the youngest daughter of the Zhang Family, while Mu Haiyun’s mother, Shen Xin, was from the Shen Family.
Today, for Mr. Mu’s 80th birthday, both the Zhang Family and the Shen Family had representatives present, including Mr. Zhang and Mr. Shen.
Looking at both of them, they were all smiling broadly. Mr. Zhang looked particularly jolly, being quite round and merry.
Mr. Shen stood tall but very lean, wearing a traditional Chinese outfit that lent him an air of otherworldly elegance.
Mu Tiantian also noticed the elderly gentleman below whose laugh practically turned his eyes into slits, appearing extremely amiable and memorable at first glance.
Seeing his little niece looking at him, Zhang Fengjie couldn’t help but wink at her, and seeing her surprised expression, he laughed even more joyously.
After all, they shared Zhang Family blood, and even if they hadn’t met before, he recognized her at once!
It was only then that Mu Tiantian belatedly recalled that the old man laughing like Maitreya Buddha was her grandpa.
She had seen him in photos before, no wonder he seemed a bit familiar, like she had seen him somewhere.
Mu Qinghan saw his granddaughter looking at Mr. Zhang below and couldn’t help but smile.
