"Aunt Tong, it's been a while since we last met, and you look younger again!" Augus walked into Mu Residence, casually taking off the sunglasses hanging on his face and teasing the housekeeper Aunt Tong.
"Second Young Master, you always know how to joke," Aunt Tong replied with a playful scold.
"That's not a joke; I'm just speaking the truth!"
"Yes, yes, yes, Aunt Tong believes you. Madam has been waiting for you for a long time; you should go in!" Aunt Tong smiled kindly at Augus. This Second Young Master was always so smooth-talking. Although he was a famous star, he had none of the airs of a celebrity. Whenever he returned to Mu Residence, he could always make the servants laugh heartily!
"Mom, I'm back!" Augus strode into the living room and squeezed in next to Dewen, who was reading the newspaper.
"You always act like a child who never grows up..." Dewen gently poked Augus's high nose with her finger, full of affection. "Recently, your relationship with that actress named Summer has caused quite a stir. Tell your mom what’s going on! If you're serious about her, hurry up and settle down. When are you bringing her home for me to see…"
Augus looked at his endlessly talking mother with a slight headache, rubbing his temples in exasperation. To have some fun with his older brother, he publicly announced his relationship with Summer and even allowed paparazzi to report on it. While it was quite carefree of him, he forgot that he still had a mother at home. His mom was a genuine matchmaker who never missed an opportunity to play Cupid for him, as if she feared he would never find a wife!
Her son was an internationally renowned star; countless women would love to be with him! However, he wasn't interested in most of them or those he found interesting were driven away by his older brother's schemes. But at thirty-three years old, he hadn't had enough fun yet; he didn't understand why his mother was in such a hurry.
"By the way, Mom, where's Dad? Still in the study?" Augus's eyes lit up as he interrupted Dewen.
"Don't try to change the subject; just tell me!"
"Alright, alright! I’ll tell you! We are indeed dating, but it's just begun. Mom, if you want me to bring her home now, what if I scare her away?"
"How could you scare her away? Your mom doesn't have three heads or six arms..." Dewen murmured.
"Back?" A somewhat stern voice echoed at the staircase.
"Dad," Augus stood up and nodded slightly in respect towards Mu Zhengqian. His father arrived just in time; now his mother wouldn't force him to bring Xinran back.
"Wait a moment for your brother to come back before we eat," Mu Zhengqian said lightly, walking over to sit on the other side of the sofa, picking up a newspaper to read, not saying anything further to Augus.
So his older brother was coming back today. A subtle smile appeared at the corner of Augus's mouth. He was really looking forward to what his brother might say at the dinner table.
"Young Master, you’re back?" Aunt Tong's voice rang out from the entrance as Augus casually propped up his long legs, waiting for his brother to walk in.
"Dad, I'm back!" Not long after, Mu Shaosi walked in, slightly bending forward to perform a Japanese bow towards Mu Zhengqian, completely ignoring Dewen and Augus.
Augus didn't mind this. His brother had hated his mother for a long time; it wasn't something that had happened overnight. After all, they were half-brothers. His mother had been the mistress who entered the family, and his brother's mother had left their father.
There were many things that they, as sons, couldn't interfere with. Augus was quite open-minded about it, but his brother was the exact opposite. For many years he still couldn't let go; otherwise, he wouldn't have gone without speaking a word to their mother since she entered Mu Residence.
"Alright, Aunt Tong, let's eat!" Mu Zhengqian nodded and calmly commanded.
