It was rare for Mu Yunzhu to see Bai Qianzhang acting like a spoiled child. In addition to the fact that Bai Qiqi was already beautiful, he had not seen him for so many years. He was truly stunned.
Waiting until his mother went upstairs, Bai Qi immediately put away the smile on his face. He looked coldly at Mu Yunzhu, who had walked to the sofa and sat down. The corner of his mouth twitched; he really thought of himself as the master of the Bai Clan.
"It was you who asked Dad to bring Xiaoxiao back to the Mu family!?" Thinking back to the phone call she had just received with a tearful voice, Mu Yunzhu's attitude turned forceful once again. She looked at Bai Qi in displeasure and started to interrogate him.
"Xiaoxiao?" "Who is it? I don't know such a character." Bai Qiqi picked up the cup from the tea table and slowly took a sip of the warm milk in the cup, an absent-minded expression on his face.
"I don't know you. If you don't know me, why would you dare to take him away? Bai Qi, you must be capable to make a trip to France!" Mu Yunzhu slapped the sofa and reprimanded her harshly. He glared at Bai Qi as if he wanted to bite a piece of meat off him.
Since he was young, his father had told him to take good care of Bai Qi. The Bai Family was his benefactor, and Bai Qi was someone he had to love all his life, so he lost a lot of freedom. He was seven years younger than Bai Qi, and they had no common language, but they were forced to always be together.
Now, with great difficulty, he finally found true love. But now that Bai Qi had come back and separated them from each other, how could he endure this?
"So you're talking about Shen Xiao. Look at the way you're addressing her. Xiaoxiao, Xiaoxiao, which puppy did you call her?" Ignoring Mu Yunzhu's angry gaze, Bai Qi continued, "I was the one who delivered Shen Xiaoxiao to the Mu Family to take care of Old Master's body. What's wrong with calling her back?"
At first, Mu Yunzhu did not think that Bai Qi was different. In the past, she would never have treated him with such a cold attitude. If he was angry, then no matter if it was her fault, she would immediately apologize.
"Shen Xiao has always been taking care of my daily life, I'm used to it. Later on, you can tell my father to bring her back, and I want to take care of both Bai and Mu family. I'm very busy, so I don't wish to be held up by these trivial matters." Very quickly, Mu Yunzhu chose to ignore the change in Bai Qianzhi, and wholeheartedly wanted to bring his woman back to his side.
"Oh ~ ~ ~ So it's like that!" Since you are so busy, Yun Zhu, why don't you concentrate on managing the Mu Family? "
Mu Yunzhu, who had originally thought that Bai Qi would agree, was taken aback by these words. He immediately stood up and glared at Bai Qianzhang. "What do you mean by that?"
He slowly shook the cup in his hand, and looked at the milky white liquid in the cup rhythmically swaying back and forth. Only then did he unconcernedly say, "Didn't you say that you couldn't handle this? After all, the Bai Family isn't your responsibility and we haven't gotten married yet. How could I continue to trouble you?"
Bai Qi stood up, not giving Mu Yunzhu a chance to speak, and continued, "I think rather than letting you sacrifice your own life and continue running for the Bai Family, I should let you relax a little. Bai Qi stood up, not giving Mu Yunzhu a chance to speak, and continued," I think instead of letting you sacrifice your own life and continue running for the Bai Family, I should relax you.
"As for Shen Xiao, I sent that to the Mu Family to take care of Uncle Mu. If you really like it, why don't you ask Uncle Mu yourself for it? He's just a servant, I believe Uncle Mu won't reject you, right?"
Without waiting for Mu Yunzhu to react, Bai Qi let go of his hand and walked upstairs without looking back. He did not care about how Mu Yunzhu would react in the living room.
Mu Yunzhu stared coldly at Bai Qianzhang's departing back. Both of his hands were tightly clenched into fists by his side, and his eyes were filled with a chilling light.
He wanted to see how this woman, who had never come into contact with a shopping mall, would shoulder the burden like the Bai clan. When the time came, he would let her cry and beg him to control the Bai clan.
Bai Qi stood at the corner of the stairs, looking at Mu Yunzhu's back as he left in a rage. He couldn't help but sneer in his heart, Mu Yunzhu was still fine if she didn't go to find Old Man Mu, but as long as he did, with her words as a foreshadowing, Old Man Mu would definitely think that his son's actions were strange.
As for Shen Xiao, she had been out for a long time and had a close relationship with Mu Yunzhu. She normally treated herself as a rich man's wife, so how could she be at ease and return to being a servant now?
When the time came, she would reveal herself to the old man. She didn't believe that the old man would be able to tolerate this adulterous couple, Mu Yunzhu and Shen Xiao.
After a day and a night of preparation, Bai Qi dressed himself up the next day. He looked like a capable white-collar worker. When he went downstairs, his mother was completely befuddled.
"Qiqi, why are you wearing a suit? Didn't you say that Yun Zhu doesn't like your outfit?" Although she disagreed with her daughter's feelings of being wronged by Mu Yunzhu being too important, her daughter suddenly had such a change. Her mother couldn't help but worry, could it be that something had happened?
"Mom, I've thought it through in those few years outside. You're right. Women need to learn to love themselves before they can let others love you. I can't erase all of my characteristics because of a man's preferences."
Holding her hand, he passed the toast to her and continued to explain with a puzzled look, "I've carefully considered this, but I still want to take over the management of the Bai clan. After all, Yun Zhu hasn't married me yet, and after all, I haven't been in the country for so many years, so it's been troublesome enough for him. You also know that I really like business things, and my father has also praised me for having the talent to do business, so I think it's more appropriate for me to take care of the Bai clan, don't you?"
"What you say makes sense, but …" You suddenly said that you want to take over Bai Clan. Once you take over, there will be all sorts of tasks that you need to take over immediately. You have no experience either.
At that time, his father was afraid that his precious daughter would have too much on her shoulders, so he made a will. As long as Mu Yunzhu and Bai Qi were to get married, he would immediately inherit 30% of the Bai family's shares, and this was at the cost of making his daughter happy. Now that his daughter suddenly said that she wanted to take over the Bai family, she couldn't help but be worried.
First round!
She knew in her heart that the white mother was a natural ally of hers. Although the white mother might not be of much help at work, if she wanted her plans to go smoothly, the support of the white mother would be needed. Thus, she pretended to be sad and lowered her head, sighing after a long time.
"Mom, I won't hide it from you. Mu Yunzhu already has a woman outside, and she's an orphan that I rescued from a rogue a few years ago and sent to the Mu family to help with the servants." I will not take such an unfaithful man. Moreover, from this matter, we can see Mu Yunzhu's nature. I am worried about handing over the Bai Family to him. "
"What!?" That stinking Mu Yunzhu brat actually dares to do such a thing! " When her mother heard this, she was so angry that she immediately stood up. After so many years of self-restraint, she could not utter any bad words. She could not even take a single breath, and even her hands, which were propped up on the table, were trembling.
"Mom, don't be angry. This matter, I've already thought it through. Marriage is something that you and I wanted to do, and I liked Mu Yunzhu before, but that was only an immature relationship that every girl will experience. I don't like him anymore, but I'm afraid that if I recklessly expose this matter, it will affect the reputation of the Bai Family. Furthermore, before I take over the Bai Family, I'm afraid Mu Yunzhu will do something that would be detrimental to the Mu Family, so I don't want this matter to be made public for now."
"He dares. He's not afraid that your uncle Mu will flay his skin. Your uncle Mu swore before your father. The Mu family will treat you well." Saying that, the white mother turned around and wanted to walk out the door, "No, this is the fault of the Mu family. I will go ask Mu Zuxin for an explanation, I want to ask him, how did he make that promise, how could he let his son do such a shameless thing under his nose. After so many years, could it be that our Bai family hasn't treated the Mu family well enough? "If your father hadn't resisted the pressure from everyone and invested in the Mu family in time, the Mu family would have gone bankrupt long ago. How would they have had today's day?"
"Mom, calm down first. I'm afraid Uncle Mu still doesn't know about this. Trust me, I'll take care of this matter." Bai Qi brought his mother to the sofa in the living room and sat her down. He poured a glass of water for her and held her hand, looking at her with a firm gaze, hoping that his attitude would calm her down. Seeing that her mother was no longer as excited as before, he changed the topic. How come I didn't know about this? "
Her mother calmed down under Bai Qi's comforting words. She calmed herself down and thought about it, Mu Zuxin was not such a perfidious person, and just like what Qi Qi Qi had said, it was fine if he didn't want to be a carefree man like Mu Yunzhu.
It would be best if the matters between children could be resolved peacefully, and there was no need to build a friendship with the older generation. To be fair, Mu Zuxin had indeed helped the Bai family a lot over the years, especially after his father died in the year 77.
And most importantly, she didn't believe that Qi Seven was really like how she said she was, that she could completely forget about Mu Yunzhu. After all, they had once had deep feelings for each other, and if Qi Seven still couldn't let go of Mu Yunzhu and still wanted to marry him, then this layer of face between the two families couldn't be torn apart right now.
