Mu Ci listened to Gu Mingâs 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. âIâm sorry. I didnât consider it carefully. â
Mu Ci said calmly, âNo, this is just a matter of experience. Itâs already very good that you can reach this level now. I also have some private matters to tell you.â âYes.â Gu Ming stood straight and listened respectfully.
âI 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?â Mu Ciâs 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.
âMy 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. â
âEver since we were in high school, the two families have been happy to see us fall in love. As for Bei Shuoâs return, it has nothing to do with me. I couldnât 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 Familyâs biological daughter, the person I love is Bei I.e.â
Gu Mingâs tone was very calm. âIâm not familiar with Bei Shuo. Itâs only been a month or two since she returned to the Bei Family. The Bei Family locked her up and didnât 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.â
Mu Ci was very satisfied with Gu Mingâs reaction and answer.
âThatâs good. Youâll have many opportunities to interact with Bei Shuo in the future. I donât 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,â Mu Ci instructed.
âYes, donât worry. Iâll definitely do what I have to do.â Gu Mingâs heart was relieved.
âI 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 canât affect the Mu Familyâs successor because of my existence.â Mu Ci gave Gu Ming a mission.
Gu Ming was slightly shocked before calming down. âAlright, I understand.â
Mu Ci put down the briefcase and said, âThereâs a private gathering at home today. Follow me. Help me find a house as soon as possible. Itâs closer to M University. Itâs convenient for Bei Shuo to go to school and itâs near the sea. She grew up by the sea when she was young. She likes the sea.â
âDo you want to move?â 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, âThey all like to come here, so weâll move away and give this place to them.â
Gu Ming did not say anything. He went forward and pushed Mu Ciâs wheelchair. âPresident Mu, are you going down now?â n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Mu Ci nodded. âLetâs go down and take a look.â
Duan Si accompanied Yu Ling to tour the first floor and the garden outside. These wealthy familiesâ 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 Ciâs 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, âDoes Mu En own this house?â
Duan Si was stunned for a moment and felt a little awkward. âThis is Mu Ciâs house.â
A faint smile flashed across Yu Lingâs lips. This smile made Duan Si very uncomfortable. She forced a smile and said, âI 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 donât have to worry about anything. We just have to take care of Mu Th.â
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, âActually, 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..â
