Mu Yuchen casually leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes.
“Why don’t you guess what it is again?”
“I don’t serve food here.”
Mu Yuchen did not even lift his eyelids as he said calmly.
Su Chen then glanced at him and laid down as well.
“Zimo called me in the middle of the night last night. He said that he b.u.mped into Qin Su in the afternoon and asked me to investigate her. I can tell that he still misses Qin Su, but I don’t remember when Zhou Zimo became such a grateful person. I think it’s not impossible that Zhou Zimo wants to give his life to her. Besides, I think with Qin Su’s beauty and ability, it’s very possible for Zimo to be moved.”
Upon hearing that, Mu Yuchen was silent for a while before he slowly opened his eyes.
“You’ve become a love a.n.a.lyst. Since we’re in the same city, it’s only a matter of time before they b.u.mp into each other. Since he wants to find information on Qin Su, that is a very good sign.”
“So, you’re asking me to really help him investigate Qin Su?” Su Chen asked.
“Do you think you can not give him the results?”
Mu Yuchen replied, then he squinted at Su Chen before continuing, “On this matter, I advise you not to be too enthusiastic. Zimo isn’t a fool. When he gets smart, even I can’t do anything to him. However, with his personality, it’s not easy for him to develop any feelings between him and Qin Su.”
“Qin Su didn’t take Zimo’s matter to heart. To be more specific, she might not have a good impression of Zimo. In terms of personality, their personalities are practically polar opposites. I can only say that Zimo has to pray for himself now.”
Mu Yuchen held the teacup in his hand and said calmly.
Su Chen nodded in agreement. “I agree with that too. However, I’m a little worried about Qin Su’s side now. I’ve probed her a while ago and she seems to be against marriage, so…”
“Didn’t you say that you were against marriage before? What happened in the end?”
Mu Yuchen looked at Su Chen meaningfully.
Su Chen cleared his throat before he took a deep breath. He combed his hair with his fingers and replied, “My situation was special, not everyone is like me. Otherwise, how would there be so many people against marriage in this world? There are many people who have never married.”
“Zimo’s luck has always been better than yours.”
Mu Yuchen chuckled softly as he rested his hands behind his head.
“F *ck you. If you make a mistake this time, you have to take full responsibility!”
Su Chen glared at Mu Yuchen.
“Just do as Zimo says and see how it goes.”
“Mmm, I got it. But on Qin Su’s end, I really don’t have much confidence. It’s very difficult for a woman like that to admit defeat, let alone…”
“She can’t only think about herself for some things.”
“Anyway, think of something. I know you had a pretty good relationship with her back then. Most of the time, your ideologies were basically the same.”
“If it was really that simple, I would’ve done it long ago. If it were you, what would you think? In the end, Zimo still has to rely on himself.”
Mu Yuchen paused for a moment. “And what we can do is just give him some guidance.”
“I know how to add fuel to the fire. Forget it, I don’t think we can do anything about this. We can only pray that the two of them can succeed. Initially, we planned to create a fortuitous encounter between the two of them, but it seems like there’s no need for that now. On the other hand, Mother Zhou said that she would give Zimo some pressure. I’ve been thinking about this fellow and I’m guessing that he’s very puzzled right now.”
“How else do you think he would feel?”
Mu Yuchen seemed to understand this feeling too—
Grandmother had urged him like this before…
If she was still alive..
When he thought about this, Mu Yuchen could not help but feel his head getting a little dizzy.
Mu Yinan’s health was starting to deterioriate.
In fact, ever since grandmother left, he had suddenly become much older. Even though he himself had struggled and walked out of this shadow, it could not be denied that grandfather’s heart had already left with her.
Fortunately, his son, Mu Xiaocheng, and Mu Zirui could make the old man happier.
“I heard that Grandfather Mu has been feeling unwell recently. What’s wrong? is he feeling better?”
Su Chen suddenly remembered this.
Mu Yuchen’s eyes darkened as he said, “He’s fine now. He caught a cold a while ago and had a fever later on. He’s feeling better now, but his spirit isn’t as strong as before. Xiaye took him to the hospital two days ago for a comprehensive check-up. The doctor said that he’s not in great condition.”
When he heard this, Su Chen frowned and said worriedly, “How did this happen? I remember that Grandfather Mu’s body has always been quite strong. He doesn’t even catch a cold!”
“When grandmother was still around, she would take him out for a walk every day. Now that she’s gone, he’s slacked a lot. Plus, he misses grandmother, it’s quite a torture for him.”
Mu Yuchen rubbed the s.p.a.ce between his brows and replied.
“Especially during this period of time, every time he goes back to the old residence, he’s mostly telling us about how he’s getting old and that he’s not as strong anymore.”
“The Elder and your grandmother were close. Grandma left too suddenly, and he…”
Su Chen could not help but sigh as well.
“If you have time, don’t think too much about the company. Go back and spend more time with him. I really wanted to freeload at your place, but now I’m afraid I can’t. I have to go to the Mu family’s old residence. I haven’t seen the Elder in a long time.”
Su Chen stood up as well.
“Let’s go together, I have to get back too.”
Mu Yuchen put down the teacup in his hand and propped himself up.
“Okay. We can chat while we’re at it. Call Zimo over too. We’ll go buy some good dishes.”
“Let him calm down. Don’t disturb him with these things for now.”
Mu Yuchen then walked forward. He took his phone and made a call to Xi Xiaye.
Xi Xiaye quickly picked up.
“What’s wrong?”
Xi Xiaye’s calm voice came through.
“Go back to the old residence with Su Chen. You and the children have dinner there. I’ll pick you up tonight.”
When he heard the woman’s voice, Mu Yuchen’s handsome face softened a little.
“Mmm, alright. Don’t drink.”
Xi Xiaye reminded him.
“Don’t worry. The driver will drive.”
Mu Yuchen replied, “Is Grandfather alright?”
“Nothing much, just missed you since you didn’t come back with me.”
“I’ll go back to visit next time.”
“Mmm, got it. Alright, I’m talking to Father about something. You do your thing, see you tonight.”
“Okay.”
When he heard a busy tone from the other end, Mu Yuchen put away his phone.
