study.
Mu Ruicheng pushed open the door and looked at the man in front of the desk who was carefully flipping through the documents, his eldest brother Mu Shaoling.
The heating was turned on in the study, and he was only wearing a black shirt, which completely highlighted his mature and restrained aura.
And from his angle, he could just see the two long legs of the elder brother overlapping each other.
It has to be said that Mu Shaoling's rigorous work attitude is not ordinary charming.
Mu Ruicheng once again lamented that people are really different. If he wasn't a man, he would also be infatuated with his elder brother.
His eldest brother is really a workaholic, even during the holidays, he is still dealing with business. And he would feel that it was a kind of torment to stay at the desk for half an hour. The eldest brother was indeed an idol worthy of his admiration.
As if aware of Mu Ruicheng's overly complicated gaze, Mu Shaoling raised his head and saw that it was Mu Ruicheng. He naturally lowered his head and still buried his head in his business.
It was noon at this time, and the sun was very good. The bright light came in from the floor-to-ceiling windows and sprinkled on Mu Shaoling's body, making his exquisite and unparalleled face look more handsome and elegant.
Although he knew for a long time that his eldest brother had a good appearance that was more popular with women than himself, but at this moment, Muruicheng still couldn't help but shake his head.
He called out in a low voice, "Brother."
Mu Shaoling's deep and sharp eyes glanced at him lightly, then lit a cigarette for himself, and then asked, "How is your mother?"
Mu Shaoling naturally knew about Cai Xiufen's sudden fainting.
Different from Zhang Yali's schadenfreude, he fulfilled his responsibilities as a junior in the Mu family. Although he didn't visit her personally, he sent Si Yao to check Cai Xiufen's body.
Although Mu Shaoling chose not to pursue the dark things that Cai Xiufen had done to him under the plea of Mr. Mu, he couldn't feel relieved. In particular, the car accident she designed almost killed herself, and made him and Ruan Bai miss so many years of good times, which made him unable to let go.
But Mu Shaoling understood that if his mother hadn't intervened in Cai Xiufen's marriage, the following series of tragedies would not have happened. He could understand her extreme hatred, which is why he had been able to tolerate her. s reason.
He wanted to atone for his mother.
"My mother fell asleep after taking the medicine. Si Yao said that she had a heart disease and needed psychological counseling and treatment. Brother, I'm sorry..."
Mu Ruicheng looked at Mu Shaoling, his eyes filled with guilt.
He knew his mother well, and he knew that what she said today was very likely to be true.
If the car accident was really caused by his mother, then the loving mother he always thought of was really strange and terrifying to him.
At that time, the eldest brother was still a teenager, how twisted and vicious a woman must be to kill an innocent boy?
Mu Shaoling put down the document in his hand and took a puff of cigarette.
Looking at Mu Ruicheng, who was not quite right, he asked with concern: "What's wrong? You seem to be not right today."
Muruicheng restrained his previous cynicism, and suddenly became serious: "Brother, I have decided, I will go to the company to help you after the Chinese New Year."
Mu Shaoling exhaled a puff of smoke rings, the man's exquisite eyes were filled with some kind of deep meaning: "Ruicheng, you are helping the company now."
Muruicheng was too ashamed to look his elder brother in the eye.
He took a breath, clenched his fists, and said with determination: "Brother, I'm not joking this time, what I said is true."
Under the pressure of his grandfather before, although he went to the company, he has been so idle that he has been idle. Even at work, he spends three days fishing and two days drying the net. Let alone helping the elder brother, it is good that he does not drag the elder brother's hind legs. up.
But now, after learning some of his mother's secrets, Mu Ruicheng's heart is full of guilt towards Mu Shaoling.
Seeing that his eldest brother was almost out of breath due to the heavy workload every day, he really wanted to share some of it for him.
"Well, big brother believes in you."
Although Mu Shaoling didn't know what Mu Ruicheng's fascination was, he was still very happy with his change.
For this half-brother who is more playful and half-brother, he dotes on him more.
Muruicheng breathed a sigh of relief.
He looked at the gold watch on his wrist, and suddenly thought of the banquet he was going to attend: "Brother, let's not tell you, I'm going to attend Secretary Lin's daughter's birthday party tonight."
Mu Shaoling stopped smoking, and raised his eyebrows slightly: "The daughter of the Lin family? That Lin Ning?"
Mu Ruicheng: "Well, for Lin Ning's 22nd birthday party, Secretary Lin and Mrs. Lin sent invitations widely, and I also received one."
Mu Shaoling didn't say a word.
This kind of thing is especially popular in the upper class. Whenever the son or daughter of a wealthy family celebrates their birthday, the family will hold a banquet for them. The purpose is obvious, and it is to win over contacts.
In fact, he also received an invitation from Lin Ning, but he threw the invitation in a corner, and he forgot about it afterwards.
He has never liked that kind of lively occasion, and he will not attend ordinary banquets, unless it is those social gatherings that cannot be avoided.
But today, Mu Shaoling suddenly became interested, because he thought of the grievance Ruan Bai suffered at the Lin family that time.
Mu Shaoling slowly curled his lips, and the silver lighter flickered under his control: "Tonight, I'll go there too."
...
At around six o'clock in the evening, when it was getting late, an eye-catching black Rolls-Royce drove all the way towards the Lin family's villa.
Because it is the cold winter season, the scenery along the way is a bit bleak, but because of the snow, it looks quite beautiful.
Ruan Bai sat on the back seat of the car, looking out through the window.
Thinking of meeting her "rival in love" later, her expression tensed up subconsciously.
She actually didn't quite understand why Mu Shaoling knew she didn't like Lin Ning, so why did he take her to Lin Ning's birthday party at Lin's house.
Besides, last time, she had a quarrel with Mrs. Lin, and it ended badly. She believed that the Lin family would not welcome her either.
"Here we are." The driver's voice sounded, breaking Ruan Bai's wild thoughts.
The driver respectfully opened the rear door.
Mu Shaoling got out of the car first, and then, he gently protected Ruan Bai's waist and head, and helped him down.
In front of the Lin family's single-family villa, there are a lot of luxury cars, and the exquisitely carved iron doors are wide open, welcoming the guests from all directions with pride.
From the yard to the door, there is a long red carpet that spreads all the way to the hall.
At a glance, the hall is full of celebrities from the political and business circles, as well as some big names in the entertainment industry.
Mu Shaoling walked across the red carpet with Ruan Bai in his arms, attracting countless eyes along the way.
Many senior officials and business elites kept saying hello to Mu Shaoling.
Ruan Bai likes to read news and financial magazines, and she has an excellent memory. She found that most of the people who greeted Mu Shaoling often appeared in city A news and financial magazines.
She had to lament that this man's network was too powerful.
Ruan Bai followed Mu Shaoling all the way, and felt that his face was going to stiffen from laughing with him. Only then did he see in the banquet hall of Lin's family, a group of wealthy daughters who looked well-dressed, as well as well-known celebrities in the film and television industry. The movie stars are circling around Lin Ning...
