Li Xiang originally wanted to ask Murong if he didn't like chocolate cookies, but after seeing Murong's actions, he immediately swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth. He was also very curious.
Who exactly was this little girl? She had only met Murong once, and he already took her to heart.
Jiujiu quickly ran to the butler and said with a guilty expression, "Grandfather Butler, I'm sorry. I fell asleep in the garden just now and didn't hear you call me."
Jiujiu apologized with an apologetic expression, and the butler instantly couldn't get angry.
The butler looked at Jiujiu and said, "Young Master invited a guest over and asked you to cook."
Jiujiu's cooking skills were naturally excellent. These few days, Jiujiu had spoiled Li Jue and his friends' appetites. As long as Li Jue's friends came over, they would ask Jiujiu to cook.
Therefore, Jiujiu didn't take the butler's request to heart.
Jiujiu responded and quickly went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.
However, when Jiujiu saw the raw materials in the kitchen, she instantly had a plan.
In the past, when Li Jue's friends came over, the raw materials were very casual. Often, Jiujiu was free to do whatever she wanted. However, today's raw materials were all more nourishing. He even asked someone to inform Jiujiu to make it lighter today.
Most of Li Jue's friends were northerners. Northerners naturally liked to eat food with a stronger taste, especially Li Jue's friends who especially liked to eat Jiujiu's braised pork and spicy crayfish. Every time, they would ask for something heavy and spicy. This was the first time that they asked for something light.
Moreover, the nourishing food had to be light. Jiujiu instantly had a candidate in mind.
Jiujiu obediently prepared the food according to Li Jue's instructions. She let Steamed Bun use the Internet to see who was sitting in the living room.
Sure enough, the woman sitting in the living room was seventy to eighty percent similar to her, especially that face. It was a hundred percent similar.
Mu Linlang was sitting in the living room.
Today was the day that the head of the Mu family, Mu Rong, returned home. Naturally, Mu Linlang had to come back to welcome him. However, Mu Linlang didn't like Mu Rong very much. Firstly, Mu Rong's temper was unreasonable. As long as he didn't like him, he wouldn't even give face to the emperor. Secondly, Mu Rong was the person who snatched the shares from her father. If her father still had those shares, she wouldn't be engaged to Li Jue now.
Yes, to ordinary people, Li Jue was definitely an unattainable person. However, to Mu Linlang, who had seen better, Li Jue was a last resort.
Even though Li Jue was willing to do many things for her, Mu Linlang only used Li Jue and didn't have much sincerity.
This time, the reason why she came was to ask about Li Jue's heart.
Mu Linlang was diagnosed with congenital heart disease when she was born. Even though the Mu family was as rich as a country, money could not buy health. Moreover, Mu Linlang's health was too poor. If the Mu family had not been supporting her with money, she might not even have lived to the age of eighteen.
However, so what if she lived to the age of eighteen? She still couldn't leave medicine and couldn't exercise excessively. Even walking two more steps would cause her forehead to break out in cold sweat.
Mu Linlang's delicate body made her receive a lot of attention and love, but it also made Mu Linlang feel even more disgusted.
On one hand, she enjoyed the attention that her delicate body brought to her, but on the other hand, she wanted a healthy body to enjoy the life of a normal person.
If she could have a healthy body, she would definitely become a very outstanding woman and could also pursue a better man. She wouldn't be like now, having no choice but to be engaged to Li Jue.
Mu Linlang was especially annoyed with herself now, but she still had a smile on her face. She looked at Li Jue and asked, "My mother said that you said a few days ago that you found a suitable heart."
Mu Linlang's parents actually knew that Li Jue had matched Mu Linlang's previous parents and obtained a suitable heart in the end.
However, they were no different from Li Jue. To them, Mu Linlang's biological parents were heartless people for abandoning Mu Linlang. Now, they were just asking them to give Mu Linlang a suitable heart. It could also be considered as making up for their many years of guilt towards Mu Linlang.
Therefore, after Li Jue got hold of Jiujiu, he told Mu Linlang's parents that he wanted them to take good care of Mu Linlang's body so that Mu Linlang could receive a heart transplant a year later.
At this moment, when he heard Mu Linlang's question, a gentle smile instantly appeared on Li Jue's face. He looked at Mu Linlang and nodded. "When your body recovers, you can undergo the surgery."
After hearing Li Jue say that she could undergo the surgery after her body recovered, Mu Linlang's face immediately revealed a smile. She looked at Li Jue with a smile that was a little more than usual.
Mu Linlang looked at Li Jue and her eyes wavered. "Li Jue, you're so good to me."
"You're my fiancée. It's only right." Li Jue's hand gently patted the back of Mu Linlang's hand as he said gently.
Mu Linlang did not admit or deny Li Jue's words that she was his fiancée. However, the smile on her face faded a little.
Steamed Bun showed the situation in the living room to Jiujiu truthfully. In the end, he even told Jiujiu what he had found out.
It was true that Mu Linlang was abandoned by the Cheng family's parents, but they did not abandon her maliciously. It was because they found out that Mu Linlang had congenital heart disease and knew that they had no money. If they left Mu Linlang behind, Mu Linlang would only have a dead end. Therefore, they asked around and found out that the Mu family wanted to adopt a girl, so they deliberately left Mu Linlang at the Mu family's door.
The Mu family originally wanted to adopt a child. Now that they saw Mu Linlang abandoned at the door, they naturally adopted her.
The Mu family was rich. Even if Mu Linlang's congenital heart disease was very serious and expensive, that money was just a drop in the ocean to them.
With the Mu family willing to spend money, Mu Linlang's health quickly improved. Even if there was no way to completely cure her heart disease, she had an incomparably happy childhood.
As for the Cheng family's parents, although they personally left Mu Linlang at the Mu family's door, they loved this daughter in their hearts. Every year, they would secretly visit Mu Linlang and even use their savings to buy Mu Linlang a birthday present on Mu Linlang's birthday.
However, what they did not know was that Mu Linlang was now the apple of the Mu family's eye. Mu Linlang did not like the gifts they bought at all and directly threw them to the servants.
Mu Linlang found out that she was not a child of the Mu family when she was 14 years old.
