Spoiled By the Young Master After Reborn In the 80s-Chapter 864 - 862, no business without deceit
Chapter 864: 862, no business without deceit
The two found a relatively quiet spot and sat down, setting up their fishing rods with bait and started to fish.
"Let’s see who catches the first fish," Mu Wan said to Luo Shu with a playful smile, her eyes seriously watching the float in the water. Patience is key when fishing.
"Okay!" Luo Shu nodded with a smile.
The fish in the lake had been fed beforehand, so they weren’t as easy to catch as one might think. The fish would often ignore the bait, seldom biting.
About ten minutes later, Mu Wan finally caught a small goldfish.
"I finally caught one!" exclaimed Mu Wan excitedly.
After placing the fish into a nearby aquarium, Mu Wan re-baited her hook and cast it out again. "Luo Shu, don’t you think the fish in this lake are particularly hard to catch?" The lake was not empty of fish but they were clever, often ignoring the bait as if they didn’t see it.
"These fish have probably been fed already," Luo Shu suggested. Otherwise, how would the stall owner make money?
"Businessmen are really cunning," Mu Wan said with a speechless expression. No wonder she struggled for so long without any fish taking the bait.
"Let’s just think of this as sunbathing," Luo Shu laughed.
"Alright then!" Mu Wan could only nod helplessly. She didn’t really care whether she caught any fish or not. She just hadn’t gone fishing in a long time and wanted to relax and refresh her mind.
Since they no longer cared about catching fish, they were no longer silent as before. They chatted casually, and an hour passed quickly.
Packing up their fishing rods, they stood up, patted their trousers, and walked to the stall where they rented the rods. They ended up with a small catch - five little goldfish between them.
"Daddy, can I try fishing one more time, please?" the little boy tugged at his father’s sleeve, pleading pitifully. They hadn’t caught a single fish in an hour, and he was really not ready to give up.
"Be good, next time daddy will bring you here to fish again," the young man reasoned as he patted the little boy’s head. One dollar spent, and not a single fish caught – he was also feeling upset.
"Daddy, can we try one more time? Please, just one more!" the little boy pleaded persistently.
"If you don’t listen, I’m going to get angry!" the young man said sternly.
The little boy slowly let go of his father’s sleeve, hung his head, and silently cried. His shoulders shook, making him look very pitiful.
"Little boy, you can have these fish," Mu Wan offered her aquarium to the little boy. It contained all the fish she and Luo Shu had caught.
Upon hearing this, the little boy looked up. Seeing the aquarium in Mu Wan’s hands, his tear-filled eyes suddenly lit up with surprise. "Sister, are you really giving them to me?"
"Yes!" Mu Wan nodded with a smile. There was no use for them to keep the fish.
"Thank you, sister!" The little boy immediately went from tears to smiles, happily taking the aquarium from Mu Wan.
"How embarrassing this is! Xiao Guang, give it back to sister. Daddy will fish for you in a bit," the young man said with a grateful smile to Mu Wan, then to his son.
The little boy hesitated slightly, clearly reluctant as he handed the aquarium back to Mu Wan. "Sister, here you go with the fish." He really wanted those fish, but with his dad speaking like that, he knew he’d upset him if he did not return them.
"You take it, and if you don’t want it, just pour it back into the lake." Seeing Luo Shu return the fishing rod to the stall owner, Mu Wan stepped forward and walked alongside Luo Shu.
Glancing at the fish tank in his son’s hands, the young man loudly thanked Mu Wan: "Miss, thank you!"
Mu Wan slightly curved her lips into a smile, continuing to walk forward, "Luo Shu, let’s go to your house to see the baby." Perhaps it was because she had done a good deed, she was in a very good mood now.
Zhu Huizhen and Ye Shanshan were playing with the babies in the living room. Seeing Luo Shu and Mu Wan arriving together, they smiled at Mu Wan, "Mu Wan is here! Come, have a seat!"
"Auntie! Aunt Shan!" Mu Wan smiled as she greeted Zhu Huizhen and Ye Shanshan, then sat down next to the sofa.
Looking at the little sister in Zhu Huizhen’s arms playing with a toy, dancing hands and feet, Mu Wan clapped her hands at her, "Little sister, let auntie hold you!"
"Here, let auntie hold you." Zhu Huizhen smiled as she handed the little sister over to Mu Wan.
Mu Wan reached out to take the little sister, picked up a toy from the table, and played with her, "Auntie will teach you a nursery rhyme, okay? Listen carefully! Little white rabbit, white and white, with two ears standing up, loves to eat carrots and greens, hopping and jumping, so cute..."
The little sister blinked her eyes like black grapes, occasionally opening her mouth wide, letting out a burst of bell-like laughter. Her cute and soft appearance melted the hearts of the adults present, making them wish they could hug her tightly and give her several kisses.
Seeing that everyone’s attention was on the little sister, the little brother also couldn’t help but foolishly smile.
His silly and cute appearance made everyone couldn’t help but laugh.
Seeing that he had made everyone laugh, the little brother glanced at the little sister, smugly "ya ya!" twice, and resumed sucking on his milk bottle.
The little sister was speechless. Could she say she didn’t know the little brother? freewēbnoveℓ.com
"Mu Wan, I heard you just finished filming The Stone Record," Ye Shanshan said.
Mu Wan stopped rocking the rattle drum, looked at Ye Shanshan, and nodded, "It’s been over a month since we wrapped up."
"Who did you play?" Zhu Huizhen curiously asked. She had read the book, and her favorite character was Wang Xifeng, bold and shrewd.
"Xue Baochai." Mu Wan placed the rattle drum in the little sister’s hands, held her small hand, and gently shook the rattle drum together.
"When will the TV series be released?" Ye Shanshan asked.
"Probably by the end of the year, it’s still being edited." Editing isn’t simple, especially for such a long TV series.
"When it airs, you must let me know; I’ll support you," Zhu Huizhen laughed.
Mu Wan smiled and nodded, "I’ll definitely inform you and Aunt Shan first."
"Mu Wan, how old are you this year? Do you have a partner?" Ye Shanshan, thinking of her nephew, felt that he and Mu Wan would be quite compatible and asked.
"Twenty-one, and no partner yet. I want to focus on filming for a couple more years before considering a personal relationship," Mu Wan replied. When older folks ask if you have a partner, it’s often because they have someone in mind. She is still contemplating whether to accept Cao Junfeng’s pursuit, so naturally, she wouldn’t consider blind dating.
"There’s no conflict between dating and filming; I have a nephew, and I think he’s suitable for you. Would you like to meet him?" Ye Shanshan asked hopefully. She liked Mu Wan quite a bit, and it would be great if she could become her niece-in-law.
