Fang Shiqing continued, “That’s right. People like them are not worthy of your anger.”
Mu Siyin looked helplessly at the sullen Old Master Lu and said, “Grandpa, don’t worry. I’ll take back all that belonged to my mother!”
When Old Master Lu heard that, he glanced at her with satisfaction. “It’s good that you have this idea, but all of them are wolves. You have to be careful when dealing with them. If you face any trouble, come back and look for Grandpa. Or you can also look for your uncle, auntie, and cousin. Do you understand?”
Mu Siyin was touched. She curled her lips and nodded. “Yes, I understand.”
After breakfast, Mu Siyin bid goodbye to Old Master Lu and went to work with Lu Yibin and Fang Shiqing.
However, the Lu Corporation and Mu Corporation were in opposite directions. Hence, when they had reached an intersection, Mu Siyin insisted on getting out of the car.
It was still early to go to the company, so she wanted to go to the villa first. Since she had thought of a name for her design earlier this morning, she wanted to fine-tune it while her inspiration was still around.
She took a taxi and arrived at the villa in about seven or eight minutes.
Uncle Zhong was sitting in the courtyard, looking at his Chinese cla.s.sics with a magnifying gla.s.s. When he heard a sound, he could not help but look up.
He thought he was hallucinating to see that it was Mu Siyin. As such, he hurriedly put the magnifying gla.s.s over his eyes and looked again.
“Sigh, Little Siyin, why are you back? Little Beibei just left.”
Mu Siyin smirked as she walked up to him. “Oh. I need to get my design draft from the study.”
Uncle Zhong nodded and then followed her. Along the way, he said, “Where did you go last night? Why didn’t you come back?”
Mu Siyin grinned. “I went to see my grandpa. That’s why I didn’t come back yesterday.”
Uncle Zhong blinked. “Your grandfather?”
“That’s right.”
“That old fox from the Lu family?”
Mu Siyin instantly stopped in her steps and looked at him, very annoyed. “Uncle Zhong, don’t give my grandpa nicknames.”
Uncle Zhong immediately furrowed his brows and said, “Little Siyin, I didn’t make up that nickname. There are plenty of others who call him that. Everyone knows that he is a sly old man among those old masters in the capital.”
Mu Siyin did not know whether she should cry or laugh. “Then, tell me. Which of those old masters isn’t sly?”
Upon hearing that, Uncle Zhong scratched his head and smiled. “You’re right! But… there’s no need for you to stay there overnight and not come back, right? Aren’t you worried about leaving Little Beibei home alone?”
Mu Siyin blinked in response. “What’s there for me to worry about? I can’t lose him even if I want to.”
Uncle Zhong looked at her as he started to get impatient. “Then, what happens if someone steals him away from you?”
Mu Siyin finally seemed to smell something fishy from Uncle Zhong’s words.
She blinked her eyes and said while staring at Uncle Zhong, “Uncle Zhong, could it be… Who wants to steal him from me?”
Uncle Zhong looked into Mu Siyin’s eyes and immediately shook his head. “I don’t know. I don’t know anything!”
“You don’t know?” Mu Siyin was getting increasingly suspicious.
Uncle Zhong obviously knew something!
“No, no, no! I mean, there’s no one.” Uncle Zhong suddenly felt like slapping himself. Why did he always let his tongue slip?
Mu Siyin squinted her eyes again and nodded her head. After that, she asked, “Then, why did you ask what if Shi Beiyu was taken away from me?”
Uncle Zhong laughed shamefully. “Our Little Beibei is so handsome and cool! You have to keep an eye on him. Who knows how many girls secretly want to steal him away from you?”
Mu Siyin rolled her eyes as she listened to him. She looked at Uncle Zhong and said, “Uncle Zhong, just so you know, my mother left me with a lot of precious jades, antiques, and so on.. There are so many that it’s impossible to count.”
