54 Diverting Her Attention
Duan Si opened her mouth but did not say a word.
She thought about it and felt very aggrieved. She couldn’t help but raise her hand and punch Mu En beside her. “I’m doing this for your own good, okay?”
As a bystander, Mu En hurriedly comforted her. “Mom, Mom, don’t be angry. My brother is just making his stand clear. Isn’t it only right for him to protect Little Sister-in-law?”
“Don’t anger me!” Duan Si flared up at her youngest son.
Mu En chuckled. “If you had married Sister Nan to my brother earlier, this wouldn’t have happened. Hence, you can only blame yourself!”
A trace of frustration flashed across Duan Si’s face.
Song Nan raised her hand and hit Mu En. Seeing from the corner of her eye that Mu Ci was not looking at them, she could not help but feel disappointed. She said, “What nonsense are you talking about?”
Bei Le and her daughter saw this and had their own plans.
Bei Le said apologetically, “Auntie Mu, don’t be angry with my sister. She’s an innocent person. You’ll know in time.”
Duan Si snorted and sized up Bei Le seriously. She felt that this girl was much better than that wild girl. Even if her son married this girl, it would be better than marrying that good-for-nothing!
Mu En smiled and said, “Mom, this little sister is really gentle and sensible. Don’t scare her. My brother just advised Little Sister-in-law to interact with them as proper relatives in the future. You can also have someone to talk to you. Isn’t that good?”
The eyes of the Bei Family’s mother and daughter lit up.
Duan Si said lazily with a cold expression, “Whatever!”
The Bei Family mother and daughter were overjoyed.
Mu En got up and pushed Mu Ci’s wheelchair. “Brother, I’ve taken over a merger and acquisition case now. Can you give me some advice?”
The moment he turned around, he winked at Song Nan, who gave him a half-smile.
As Mu Ci turned around, his gaze turned cold, but his tone was still as cold and distant as usual. “You should consult your accountant and lawyer!”
“What can they do? The opinions they give are always ambiguous. I can still make a prompt decision without them getting involved. After they give their opinions, I’m only left with a dilemma. Brother, what you taught me is the most practical and applicable.”
“I’m not Grandpa. You don’t have to coax me,” Mu Ci said calmly, his tone much gentler.
Once they left, all the women, including Duan Si, heaved a sigh of relief.

Bei Shuo looked at the huge walk-in wardrobe and was stunned. She asked Xiaobai, “Is this all for me?”
Xiaobai smiled until her eyes curved into crescents. “Yes, Young Master Mu bought them for you, Young Madam. The ones tailor-made for you will only be sent over in a few days.”
“There’s more?” Bei Shuo was shocked.
Xiaobai nodded. “Yes! Young Master Mu said that this is for everyday wear. As Young Madam still has to go to school, they’re all ordinary styles.”
Xiaobai took two steps forward and lowered her voice. “Young Madam, these ordinary styles of clothes are also not easy to buy outside. I heard from the designer that there are several award-winning works here. They are not sold outside. You don’t have to worry about wearing the same clothes as others.”
Bei Shuo stuck out her tongue. “I don’t even dare to try them on.”
Xiaobai smiled. “Our Young Master Mu can’t wait to buy all the good things in this world for Young Madam.”
Bei Shuo nodded in agreement. Mu Ci always felt a sense of doomsday-like despair. He treated one day as two days. He wished he could stay awake 24 hours a day so that he could squeeze out another day to fight against the Grim Reaper.
“Xiaobai, help me check out something.” Bei Shuo subconsciously touched the clothes while thinking about something else.
“Alright, Young Madam. What do you want me to do?” Xiaobai immediately replied.
“Help me find the doctor who diagnosed Brother. I want you to investigate secretly. Don’t disturb others, especially these people in the main house. Can you do that?”
“I promise to complete the mission, but Young Madam, what are you going to do?” Xiaobai’s face was filled with anticipation.
“To treat my brother! You have to help me!” Bei Shuo reached out and shook Xiaobai’s arm.
“Alright, Young Madam. I will definitely complete the mission!” Xiaobai vowed.
“It would be best if we could get the previous diagnosis report,” Bei Shuo muttered.
“I’ll try,” Xiaobai said uncertainly.
Bei Shuo was pleasantly surprised. “You have a way?”
Xiaobai nodded. “The doctors who treat Young Master are all from the Mu Family’s hospital. My little sister works as a nurse in the hospital.”
Bei Shuo clasped her hands together excitedly.
