Alas, if only’s would remain as if only’s…
When he heard the music, the well-fed Mu Xiaocheng who lay in his father’s arms immediately widened his eyes that were initially closed in slumber. Those beautiful gem-like eyes flickered with a glazed l.u.s.ter. They flickered and looked everywhere as if he was looking for the source of the sound while he babbled.
“I think that this little guy can probably say ‘Father’ in another two to three months,” Mu Yuchen pinched his son’s soft cheeks and said happily.
The touch on his face made Mu Xiaocheng a little irritated, so he reached out to hit Mu Yuchen’s hand and then held it to suck on it. When Mu Yuchen felt a faint ache from his hand, he raised his brows in surprise.
Xi Xiaye looked over to see his expression like that, so she slowed down the car and asked in puzzlement, “What’s wrong?”
“I think the little guy has teeth now! Really! He bit me. Let me take a look. Son, open up. I want to see if you have teeth…”
Upon hearing that, Xi Xiaye’s beautiful face flashed with the ripple of a smile. “I heard from Aunt Lin that our son is probably going to get teeth soon. Because too many things have been happening recently, we haven’t been paying attention to him.”
…
Even though the sky was getting dark, it was not raining yet. Compared to the scorching heat from a few days before, it was much cooler now.
The black luxurious car sped past the clean cemented pathway towards a higher-end villa area. After a while, it stopped in front of a mansion.
Dressed in a tailored dark blue suit, Qi Lei got down from the car leisurely. He took off his sungla.s.ses, his expression indifferent as he looked at the mansion before him. He did not want to be back at all if it was not for the fact that he needed to!
The people inside seemed to have begun decorating the place. From afar, he could already hear the noise within.
Right, the wedding is set for tomorrow, so it should be quite lively inside right now!
The curve of a sneer flashed at the corner of Qi Lei’s mouth. He hesitated before putting on the sungla.s.ses again. With both hands in his pockets, he walked in casually.
“Second Master’s back!”
“h.e.l.lo, Second Master!”
It was true that people were in high spirits because of the happy occa.s.sion. Qi Lei had just stepped in when the busy crowd greeted him warmly.
Nodding nonchalantly, he walked past the corridor and went towards the house. He b.u.mped into the butler at the entrance.
He peered inside and saw that apart from the busy servants, there was no one else, thus Qi Lei asked in confusion, “Is there no one at home?”
“CEO Qi’s gone out. The young madam went to the Gu family mansion while the other Master seems to be in the backyard.”
Because he could hear the coldness in Qi Lei’s tone, the butler dared not be as arrogant as he had been before. He recently realized that CEO Qi seemed to begin caring about the Second Master again, and he might be of importance in Qi Kai in the future, so it was best to keep the provocation to a minimum.
Qi Lei nodded and did not stay with the butler as he turned to walk towards the corridor that led to the backyard.
At this moment, in the Qi family mansion’s backyard, the sinister-looking Morrison handed a doc.u.ment to Qi Feng. He grinned widely and said, “Master, this is great news! I think this is the reason why w.a.n.g Hui left so suddenly! Mu Yinan and w.a.n.g Hui couldn’t have guessed that the man who got together with Mu Zi years ago would be Gu Qiwu! Haha, heaven rewards the faithful! I’ve finally got something against them! I’m sure that they are done for this time!”
1When Morisson said that, Qi Feng’s eyes brightened. He fixed his gaze upon the doc.u.ment that Morrison handed him.
“Boss, the results prove that our guess was right! I just knew that with Gu Qiwu and Mu Yuchen’s relationship, there was no reason for him to constantly go to Imperial Sky. He clearly had other reasons to do so, and afterward, we fixed our target on Mu Lingshi. Soon, we found out the issue—
“Gu Qiwu was secretly getting someone to follow, no, secretly protect Mu Lingshi! He didn’t even do that with Miss Lingsha, how could Mu Lingshi gain so much interest for him, so I can be sure that there must be something more to Gu Qiwu and Mu Lingshi’s relationship. Then, I remembered that Mu Yuchen was also investigating Mu Lingshi’s background. Why did he suddenly stop? All of this proves one thing!” Morrison said as he could not help but look excited.
“Proves one thing? It proves that Gu Qiwu was the man who got together with Mu Zi years ago. In fact, you’re saying that Mu Lingshi and Gu Qiwu are most likely father and daughter!” Qi Feng finished Morrison’s words.
“Yes! I’ve checked. Mu Yinan and w.a.n.g Hui didn’t know about this before. w.a.n.g Hui had a heart attack the other day because of this! Everyone knows that the incident with Mu Zi has always been a taboo in the Mu family. Years ago, when Mu Zi broke down from the questioning, she didn’t give up the man’s name either. That meant that the man was not just anybody. In fact, all these years, Mu Tangchuan, as well as Mu Lingtian before this, and then Mu Yuchen never gave up on looking for that man. If that man wasn’t so capable, do you think they couldn’t have found him with their abilities?”
Morrison was getting more and more excited as he spoke. He could not wait to see these secrets be exposed, and the kind of commotion it would bring.
As Qi Feng listened to this, he found it quite hard to believe!
Mu Zi, Mu Zixi!
The celebrity who was extremely popular at one point!
He could still remember how she looked like. She had been very attractive, a rare beauty. In fact, back then, she seemed to have been quite close to Qi Qiming. At that time, the Qi family and the Mu family had a great relationship. Qi Qiming and Mu Yinan would hang out, thus Qi Feng could remember Mu Zi, and she used to be concerned about him and Qi Lei.
From what Qi Feng remembered, Mu Zi was a strong and considerate woman. Even though she was sometimes headstrong and angered w.a.n.g Hui, she was very loving towards young children.
Qi Qiming was really suitable for Mu Zi, yet they were not lovers. That was one thing Qi Feng was clear of.
It did not matter how many lovers Qi Qiming had. To him, some women still held a very important position in his heart, and Mu Zi seemed to have been one of them. However, he did not know how Qi Qiming actually felt about Mu Zi.
