So no matter how much she was infatuated with him, how much she did for him, he wouldn't look at her directly. On the contrary, Shen, who was born poor and had no backing and could only rely on him like a dodder, was his ideal woman.

Arriving at the Mu residence, just as she parked the car in front of the villa, a slender figure appeared at the entrance. Bai Qi's sharp senses caught sight of the person who alighted from the car, and the smile disappeared from his mouth.

After standing stiffly at the doorway for a few seconds, Shen Xiao's face was once again plastered with smiles as she faced Bai Qi.

"Miss Bai, you're back!"

Bai Qi shot a contemptuous glance at Shen Xiao, a look of disdain on his face. As if he hadn't heard her, he followed her through the door.

Seeing Bai Qi's expression, Shen Xiaoxiao's already stiff smile stiffened. However, she clenched her fists and quickly recovered her smile. She followed him into the house.

Upon entering the room, she saw Bai Qiqi snuggling up to Old Man Mu. It was unknown what he had said, but it made Old Man Mu smile so much that he was trembling.

Shen Xiao understood that this wasn't the time for her to approach him. She quietly made her way to the kitchen, when she suddenly heard Old Man Mu's dignified voice coming from the living room.

"Little Shen, why didn't you greet Miss Bai when you saw her? Is this how you treat your savior?"

Shen Xiaoxiao didn't understand why Old Man Mu would suddenly attack her, but when she saw the mocking smile on Bai Qi's face, she understood everything.

She already knew from Cloud Zhu that Bai Qi was abnormal. She had always been very meticulous in her thoughts, and had thought of more than Mu Yunzhu, this man. He only saw that Bai Qianzhang had a strange temper, but she had a vague idea that perhaps he already knew of their relationship, otherwise there wouldn't have been such a sudden change.

After quickly thinking about the current situation in her mind, Shen Xiao lowered her head and put on a humble appearance. She quickly walked up and stood respectfully beside the sofa. She bent down slightly and gave Bai Qi a respectful bow.

"I'm sorry Miss Bai, the greetings I greeted you from outside the door were too soft and I made you misunderstand. I am truly sorry."

Bai Qi raised his eyebrows. This Shen Xiao wasn't someone who was easy to deal with. The old man had only scolded her a little, and yet she had actually given him eye medicine. Luckily, she had already made preparations.

Yesterday, Yun Zhu came to find you and scolded me for a good reason. I came here today to apologize and ask you, Xiao Xiaoxiao, to be magnanimous and not to be offended, I only just returned to my country and did not know that you and Yun Zhu are such good friends. Before this, I only considered that you two were alone together under the same roof, and that it would be easy to cause trouble, but I did not consider that without your care, it would be very inconvenient for Yun Zhu's life and work.

Mu Yunzhu's life and work had been greatly affected. She was just about to be heated up, and was about to open her mouth and say a few words to distinguish the difference between the two of them. However, when she raised her head to look at the Mu family's old patriarch's deep eyes, she suddenly felt a chill behind her back and didn't dare to say a single word.

Shen Xiaoxiao had heard too much from Mu Yunzhu about the importance that Old Man Mu placed on Bai Qi. She knew that the Mu family wasn't the only one who felt sorry for Bai Qi due to their relationship of repaying him for his kindness. They were hoping that the Bai family would be able to form a connection with them, and with the support of the Bai family, the Mu family would be able to develop even faster and stronger.

Because of this, she was willing to be the woman behind Mu Yunjiu. She believed that with her determination, as long as she firmly held onto Mu Yunzhu's heart, there would be a day when she would be able to wait for the day when he would take over her family. When the old man was no longer around, Bai Qi would be able to stand by Mu Yunjiu's side and become the rightful Mrs. Mu.

Faced with the old man's cold gaze, Shen Xiao adjusted her attitude and stammered out a reply. "Miss Bai, perhaps it's just a misunderstanding. I'm just doing my duty to be a competent servant. Perhaps Mister Mu is just not used to suddenly changing employees."

"Misunderstanding!? "Is that so?" Bai Qi ruffled the hair around his ears and gave her a meaningful smile. Then, without another word, he picked up the cup of green tea from the tea table and slowly began to drink.

Old Man Mu turned his head to look at the expression on Bai Qi's face. He could clearly see the cold expression on the corners of her eyes. He lowered his eyes slightly and carefully considered what Bai Qi's words meant.

He kept having the feeling that Seventh Madame had changed a lot this time. After carefully recalling the obscure words she had said back to him, the old man suddenly felt like he understood something.

Seventh Miss had always had her own son in her heart. Was it because she was sensitive to the fact that there was something wrong between Yun Zhu and Shen Xiao? Because she cared, after knowing that there was love in Yun Zhu's heart, she wanted to return home to redeem it?

The reason why he didn't say anything in front of him, but only avoided Yun Zhu, repeatedly hinting in front of him, the goal should be for him to take care of this Shen Xiao, lest in the end she and Yun Zhu break off their engagement.

Thinking that he had understood the truth, Old Man Mu coughed heavily. After attracting Bai Qi's attention, he gently smiled and said, "Seventh Sister, your heart has shrunk quite a bit from your trip to the country. Don't you know who is in Yun Zhu's heart? The reason you went to the Bai Clan yesterday and did such a disrespectful thing was because you were in a hurry to see me, but you couldn't find a better excuse. "

The kind smile on his face instantly turned cold, "As for Little Shen, like she said, Yun Zhu is just used to her service and isn't used to it at the moment. Think about it, it's like being used to using a set of tableware."

However, she did not dare to show any dissatisfaction on her face. Instead, she raised her head and revealed a pitiful expression. Just as she was about to open her mouth to try and win some good impression for herself, she was snatched away by Bai Qi with a sneer.

"Pfft!" Uncle Mu, look at what you're saying. Am I that petty? I just feel sorry for him. He even complained to me yesterday that it was very tiring to manage Mrs Bai and Mrs Mu at the same time, and I heard that he did not sleep well last night, so I felt sour and guilty and blamed myself for being too selfish. I was supposed to shoulder the burden that should have been mine, but now it's all on Mr Yun Zhu's shoulders. "

Bai Qi had made the right compromise to make Old Man Mu feel that she was sensible and at the same time, tilted the scale in his heart towards Mu Ru Yue.

However, even though Old Man Mu was listening, he would never agree to let Shen Xiao return to Mu Yunzhu's side. Bai Qiqi was his intended daughter-in-law. He wouldn't allow a mere maid to destroy the marriage that he had single-handedly facilitated.

Knowing that the relationship between Shen Xiao and his son wasn't ordinary, he didn't have enough time to separate them. How could he give them the opportunity to do so?

Seventh Miss is indeed sensible, you can believe in Yun Zhu. Uncle Mu is very happy, but little Shen is young and has very little experience. Right now, Yun Zhu is fully committed to his career, and by his side, he should be accompanied by someone like the butler who has a very rich life experience. Old Man Mu turned his head to look at the respectful Shen Xiao, who was standing not too far away from him. In his eyes, there was a stern expression and a stern warning.

"Yes, what Uncle Mu said is that I have been overthinking the matter of letting Xiaoxiao move back. Previously, I was only thinking about not making Yun Zhu unhappy, but I didn't consider the big picture." After pausing for a moment, Bai Qi then said, seemingly troubled, "Uncle Mu, it's really hard for Yun Zhu to manage two companies by himself. I want to help him share some of the burden …" "So, I want to go to the Bai family to work …"

The Mu family's old patriarch was surprised that Bai Qi had taken the initiative to go to work for the Bai clan. Earlier, Qi Niu had wholeheartedly wanted to be a good internal helper, so she wasn't involved with the Bai clan's work at all.

However, when he looked at Shen Xiao beside Bai Qi, Old Man Mu felt that he was right. Seventh Sister had grown up with a good home tutor, so she would never be jealous of her status. However, who would be so magnanimous in allowing their lover to interact with other women?

The reason Seventh Girl made such a request was to share the pressure on Yun Zhu. In reality, she wanted to use this opportunity to cultivate her feelings and also declare her sovereignty over Yun Zhu and the little girl beside her.

Bai Qi had been paying attention to the expression on Old Man Mu's face the entire time. What she said and did today was all for the sake of receiving Old Man Mu's reply. When he saw Old Man Mu's relaxed expression, he couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.

Right now, she was weak alone. On the contrary, Mu Yunjiu was strong. If she did not have the support of Old Man Mu and had entered the Bai family alone, it would have been lucky if she did not even have the bones left to gnaw on the Bai family.

Bai Qi's wish was that the Bai clan would flourish in her hands and that Shen Xiaoxiao and Mu Yunzhu would receive the retribution they deserved. Returning to the Bai clan was the first step in everything.

Sure enough, Old Man Mu readily agreed to Bai Qi's request. He immediately picked up the phone and assigned his personal assistant to help Bai Qi familiarize himself with the work environment. Bai Qi, on the other hand, had returned as the chairman of the Bai Clan.

Currently, Bai Qi and Mu Yunzhu had yet to get married, so the 30% of the shares that Bai Jiasheng had promised was naturally still in Bai Qianzhang's hands. Although Mu Yunzhu had great power, he was still missing a position.

Old Man Mu also knew that Bai Qiqi did not have any business experience. If he were to return to the Bai family with such an identity, he would suffer criticism from many aspects and would find it difficult to convince the public. Even if she didn't go back, she was still the legitimate Chairman of the Bai Clan. It was just that before, she only received dividends and didn't care about the company's operations. Now, she had to intervene in the company's affairs.

Bai Qi was naturally very satisfied with this arrangement. As the saying went, an official's rank could crush a person to death, not to mention that she still possessed so many shares. With Old Man Mu's support, if he were to take care of Mu Yunzhu, it would not be as easy as turning his hand.
