"Old Mistress is here!" Someone shouted.
Everyone moved towards the staircase at the same time!
Old Mistress Yuan was surrounded by a few people. She looked elegant and graceful. Compared to two years ago, Mu Chenyan felt that her grandmother was more upright and spirited. It was impossible to tell that she was already in her seventies.
Yuan Tangzhong walked beside Old Mistress and introduced the young people around him to her in a low voice.
Old Mistress looked kind and amiable as she greeted everyone. When she saw the young people she was familiar with, she would pull them over to take a closer look and say some caring words. The atmosphere in the hall became lively.
Yuan Zhe walked behind Old Mistress. He had just changed into a white shirt and a dark blue vest. His posture was straight and stylish, and his every movement was like that of a rich young master.
Beside Yuan Zhe was a thin and elegant man who wore gold-rimmed glasses. He was gentle and did not speak. He only smiled at the crowd. Mu Chenyan recognized him. It was the Second Young Master, Yuan Zhuan.
Yuan Tangshuo and his wife were always in the hospital due to their work. They could not come because of Yuan Tian. However, as a man, his brother Yuan Zhuan had to accompany Old Mistress no matter what.
Old Mistress Yuan had the highest status in the Yuan Family. She brought along a few of her outstanding children and grandchildren to socialize with the crowd. It was quite imposing.
Old Mistress Yuan usually did not attend such banquets, but her family's annual banquet was an exception.
"Where's Little Xuan?" Old Mistress Yuan did not see Yuan Xuan, so she asked Yuan Tangzhong who was beside her.
"He might have just come out to pick Chenyan up."
Yuan Tangzhong looked around before his gaze fell on his nephew. The corners of his mouth curled into a smile.
Yuan Xuan knew that Old Mistress must be asking him, so he pulled Mu Chenyan toward her.
"Old Mistress, Chenyan has been back for a few days. I brought her here to say hello to you."
As he spoke, Yuan Xuan's large hand held Mu Chenyan and pulled her to his side.
Mu Chenyan stepped forward and softly asked, "Grandmother, are you feeling well?"
Old Mistress Yuan glanced at Mu Chenyan. Her cheerful expression immediately lost its color.
"Can't you see if I'm feeling well?"
The dissatisfaction in her tone could not be expressed in words.
Once Old Mistress' words left her mouth, everyone gasped.
Especially Zhou Xianer and Yu Lingyun, who had been suppressed earlier, they were gloating.
Wahaha! Yuan Xuan cared about Mu Chenyan, but the Yuan Family's most influential Old Mistress had abandoned her.
This was a major discovery!
Mu Chenyan clearly did not expect Old Mistress' hostility towards her to be so obvious.
She used to visit the Yuan Family often. Although Old Mistress did not really like her, she did not show any dislike towards her either.
When Yuan Xuan proposed to the Mu family, the Old Mistress thought that since Yuan Xuan liked her and the Mu family had a good background, she did not object.
The final outcome of this marriage was barely satisfactory, but Mu Chenyan was definitely not to blame!
Who would have thought that the old lady would embarrass her in front of so many people?
Mu Chenyan only felt wronged in her heart, but she remained calm on the surface. She smiled faintly and said softly, "Chenyan has been back for a few days. Yuan Xuan said that I'll only greet Grandmother after I've recovered a little. Grandmother must be angry at Chenyan. It's all my fault …"
"I don't think so!" Old Mistress Yuan sneered, "Little Xuan has told me that you can come and pay your respects whenever you like."
Wen Ya saw Mu Chenyan's face turn pale.
There were many people around, and she was afraid that Old Mistress would hurt Mu Chenyan by saying something even more unfamiliar. She quickly pulled Mu Chenyan over and said with a smile, "There are too many people today, so Grandmother can't talk. It won't be too late to talk when we return to the mansion."
When Yuan Xuan saw Mu Chenyan's wronged expression, the dignified man tightly pursed his lips, and his dark gaze suddenly turned gloomy.
