Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Mu Ci listened to Gu Ming’s explanation and analysis of the contract in his hand. He nodded in satisfaction and pointed out two places where there were deviations. Gu Ming hurriedly stood up and apologized. “I’m sorry. I didn’t consider it carefully. ”
Mu Ci said calmly, “No, this is just a matter of experience. It’s already very good that you can reach this level now. I also have some private matters to tell you.” “Yes.” Gu Ming stood straight and listened respectfully.
“I heard that you were betrothed to Miss Bei before you were born. However, the person who was actually betrothed to you was my wife, Bei Shuo?” Mu Ci’s tone was very calm, as if he was talking about something unrelated.
Gu Ming heaved a sigh of relief. He had never known how to explain this matter. If he did not explain, it might be awkward. However, it would be too deliberate if he explained first.
Now that Mu Ci asked first, it gave him a chance.
“My mother and Madam Bei are good friends. After I was a year old and Madam
Bei got pregnant, the two families joked that if Madam Bei gave birth to a girl, the two families would become in-laws when she grew up. Bei Shuo got lost when she was two or three years old and the Bei Family adopted Bei Le. Bei Le and I grew up together. We fell in love and it had nothing to do with the prearranged marriage. ”
“Ever since we were in high school, the two families have been happy to see us fall in love. As for Bei Shuo’s return, it has nothing to do with me. I couldn’t have married Bei Shuo just because of a joke from my parents. The person I loved back then was Bei Le! Before I broke up with Bei Le, my parents specially went to the Bei Family to talk to them. Although Bei Shuo is the Bei Family’s biological daughter, the person I love is Bei I.e.”
Gu Ming’s tone was very calm. “I’m not familiar with Bei Shuo. It’s only been a month or two since she returned to the Bei Family. The Bei Family locked her up and didn’t let her see outsiders. She left the Bei Family after marrying you. I think Bei Le mentioned this repeatedly because she had already planned to break up with me at that time and tried her best to find an excuse.”
Mu Ci was very satisfied with Gu Ming’s reaction and answer.
“That’s good. You’ll have many opportunities to interact with Bei Shuo in the future. I don’t want the two of you to be embarrassed. Bei Shuo grew up in a
simple environment and is relatively innocent. Please take care of her in the future,” Mu Ci instructed.
“Yes, don’t worry. I’ll definitely do what I have to do.” Gu Ming’s heart was relieved.
“I plan to leave the Mu Family. You have to help me sort out everything related to the Mu Family and clean it up as soon as possible. No matter who is the master of the Mu Family in the future, you can’t affect the Mu Family’s successor because of my existence.” Mu Ci gave Gu Ming a mission.
Gu Ming was slightly shocked before calming down. “Alright, I understand.”
Mu Ci put down the briefcase and said, ‘There’s a private gathering at home today. Follow me. Help me find a house as soon as possible. It’s closer to M University. It’s convenient for Bei Shuo to go to school and it’s near the sea. She grew up by the sea when she was young. She likes the sea.”
“Do you want to move?” Gu Ming asked.
Mu Ci slid the wheelchair to the window and looked at the people on the grass on the first floor. He said calmly, ‘They all like to come here, so we’ll move away and give this place to them.”
Gu Ming did not say anything. He went forward and pushed Mu Ci’s wheelchair. “President Mu, are you going down now?”
Mu Ci nodded. “Let’s go down and take a look.”
Duan Si accompanied Yu Ling to tour the first floor and the garden outside. These wealthy families’ residences were all similar. The location and layout had been designed by famous Feng Shui masters. Every family tried their best to do something clever within the limits.
Mu Ci’s villa was left to him by his grandma. What was different was the glass house and greenhouse in the garden. Duan Si introduced them to Yu Ling enthusiastically.
Yu Ling praised and kept nodding. She asked casually, “Does Mu En own this house?”
Duan Si was stunned for a moment and felt a little awkward. “This is Mu Ci’s house.”
A faint smile flashed across Yu Ling’s lips. This smile made Duan Si very uncomfortable. She forced a smile and said, “I only have two sons. Mu Ci is doted on by Old Master and Old Madam made arrangements for Mu Ci before she passed away. Hence, we don’t have to worry about anything. We just have to take care of Mu Th.”
The meaning behind her words was very obvious.
Yu Ling sat down on the sofa in the glass room and took the tea from Duan Si.
She smiled and said, “Actually, our families are similar. Our Eldest Young Master and Eldest Young Mistress have been raised by Old Master and Old
Madam since they were young. We only have Shen Su as our daughter..”
