Qi Lei came up with his theory, and towards the end, his brows furrowed into a knot.
“Thus, even if you didn’t reveal everything about Gu Qiwu and Mu Zi then, she would’ve found a way to expose it. Of course, the outcome of her exposè would’ve been different! That way, not only could she rightfully step on Mu Zi, but she would also be showing the Mu family a thing or two. Most importantly, she could easily get what she wanted from Gu Qiwu. Meanwhile, the child inside her should be who she would meticulously nurture afterward.”
Qi Lei was not dumb either. With a hint from Mu Yuchen, he promptly thought it all out!
“Doesn’t that mean that all of us have become her chess piece?”
When Qi Lei thought about this, he could not help but get gooseb.u.mps.
This woman was too terrifying!
Who was Gu Qiwu to her?
What about Gu Lingsha?
“If that’s true, does that mean she knew about this six years ago? Could Lingtian’s death be related to her?”
Qi Lei dared not think further because the more he did, the more he was scared witless! If women wanted to get vicious, even he would be terrified.
Mu Yuchen’s hand casually held the railings as he let the cool night breeze brush past his skin. He calmed down and responded, “It’s been too long. I don’t know what the truth is now, but I’ll get someone to investigate it again. I actually asked you to come over because I need a favor from you.”
“A favor from me?” When Mu Yuchen said that, Qi Lei shot Mu Yuchen a side look and fell silent for a moment before he spread open his hands. “What is it.”
Mu Yuchen inhaled slightly and turned to sit on the rattan chair behind him. “You should seize this opportunity, and this time, I might not be able to support you for much longer. Once Gu Qiwu and Doris fall out, we don’t know what the outcome will be, but from what I can see, the person who’ll benefit the most should be Gu Lingsha, and you should know well enough who is standing by Gu Lingsha’s side.”
At this, Qi Lei’s eyes darkened slightly. He said helplessly, “Shasha wouldn’t have thought that she was only a p.a.w.n among Doris, Qi Feng, and Gu Qiwu. Gu Qiwu’s not too bad. After all, he does only have one daughter. Oh, there’s also Mu Lingshi now, so two daughters. She might even get some sort of compensation later on. If it was Doris or Qi Feng…” Towards the end, he helplessly forced a laugh.
“So, on Qi Feng’s end, you’ll have to take on more trouble.”
Qi Lei shook his head. “No trouble. It’s what I should be doing. Right, let me tell you something. Qi Feng’s receiving treatment from a certain Professor Terl in the next two days. I heard that he might have a chance of recovering. What do you think?”
“A chance of recovering?” Mu Yuchen pondered for a moment, then smiled. “If we put aside those grudges, Qi Feng’s someone that I do admire. He’s a very interesting opponent. However, someone like him can only be an opponent and not a friend.”
Suddenly, he paused and turned to look at Qi Lei, his eyes containing profound meaning. “Qi Lei, if you had half his temperament, you wouldn’t have lived such a difficult life.”
“It should be us! If we had half his temperament, we wouldn’t be toiling this hard!”
“This matter won’t die down so fast. I hope that you can wait and see what pans out with us. Of course, I’m hoping to get some useful intel from you too.”
“I know. Don’t worry. I’ll do my best. Oh, Gu Lingsha’s having it bad with Doris and Qi Feng continues to be hypocritical. Of course, the matter with Gu Qiwu and Mu Lingshi won’t pa.s.s so quickly! You’re not planning to just leave it like that, are you?” Qi Lei asked.
“Gu Qiwu will come back to beg for Lingshi’s forgiveness. In fact, he’ll acknowledge her.” Mu Yuchen’s eyes were filled with certainty.
“Alright, since you’re so sure, I won’t worry about it then. I’ll just watch out instead.”
When Qi Lei finished, there was suddenly a soft sound from the side. He subconsciously turned to look and realized that not too far away from the door, a chubby little one was working hard on crawling over.
“Done sleeping?”
Before Qi Lei could respond, Mu Yuchen had already walked up to pick that little bun up.
Mu Xiaocheng hugged Mu Yuchen by the neck and immediately cried out loud as his father carried him back into the office!
“Hey, Mu Xiaocheng! Mu Yuchen, let me carry him! Let me!” Qi Lei’s eyes brightened up as he swiftly followed after them.
…
Xi Xiaye came over to pick up the father and son when it was close to 6 p.m. Qi Lei had just left too.
“I went to visit Grandmother with Grandfather. That’s why I returned a little late. The little guy’s sleeping quite soundly!”
Inside the car, Xi Xiaye who was in the driver’s seat helped him buckle up before she pinched Mu Xiaocheng’s cheeks while he lay in Mu Yuchen’s arms and laughed gently.
“Grandfather went to visit Grandmother?” Mu Yuchen was surprised.
Xi Xiaye nodded. She relaxed and said, “Don’t worry. Maybe Grandfather isn’t as vulnerable as we think. It’s a good thing that he can be okay again. Let’s not go home for dinner tonight. I’ve informed Sis w.a.n.g earlier. We haven’t gone out in a while. Let’s eat out and walk around before going home. Our son hasn’t even had any pictures with us, so let’s take a few. Sadly, Xiao Rui isn’t around. Otherwise, it’d be nice to have a little family picture too.”
“I’ll let you decide,” he answered softly without any opinion.
Upon seeing him answer so simply, she turned to look at him. “Are you tired? If you’re tired, we can just go home.”
“Just drive. We don’t go out much together anyway.”
He then smiled gently. He could not help but admit that he was enjoying this very moment.
To him, a man’s success was not about how high he stood, how far he could look, or how many a.s.sets or women he had. Instead, it was about how high he could stand with his woman.
1Starting the car, Xi Xiaye caught the smile in his eyes, so she asked, “What are you smiling about?”
He turned to silently watch her for a while before he grinned. “Nothing. I just suddenly remembered some things that Su Chen said. Right now, I feel like he makes sense.”
Su Chen?
Xi Xiaye raised her brows and sped up the car. “I want to hear it. What did he say?”
