Shen Xiao had a complicated expression on her face as she followed behind Mu Yunzhu, looking back at the staircase step by step, hoping that the old man would change his mind. But at this moment, there was no one left at the staircase.

Mu Yunzhu had once told her that it would be difficult for a son of the Mu family. The old gramps only hoped that he could get married soon, so she took the risk of using the method of a fake pregnancy, but she had never expected that the old gramps would not want this grandson.

Then how was she going to continue acting in the future? If Mu Yunzhu knew that the child he had paid such a heavy price to protect did not exist, would he just give up on himself?

The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became. Mu Yunzhu, who had been pulling her along, immediately noticed her strangeness and held her in her arms. Even though she was angry, she patiently comforted her with a few words.

However, Shen Xiao didn't have Mu Yunzhu's confidence. She had been by his side for so many years, and she was very familiar with his temperament, but the reason why he could shake the shopping mall was not because of how powerful he was, but because everyone feared the power of the Bai clan and the Mu clan behind him. Now that he had lost everything he relied on, with his arrogant character, would he really be able to break into his own career? In truth, Mu Yunzhu had never truly experienced the cruelty of this society.

However, when Shen Xiao thought about it, the Mu Family only had Mu Yun Zhu as their successor. Old Man Mu definitely wouldn't abandon his only son and hand over his entire career to someone else who wasn't related to him.

As long as she held on, once she found a chance to be pregnant with Mu Yunzhu's child, she would have the chance to wait until she returned to the Mu family.

When he went to the restaurant in the past, he no longer had the privilege of washing his face and eating directly. At the beginning, he could still use the money he had on hand to maintain his dignity, but he was used to spending all of that money. This amount of cash could not be maintained for long.

He did have a few houses under his name, but if he were to sell his house due to the temporary lack of working capital, then where would his young master of the Mu family put his face?

He couldn't go back to the Mu Family during this period of time, let alone the Bai Family. They had no work to do, so they wanted to go out and have fun. However, looking at the small amount of cash they had, he could only control his own feet and stay at home.

All sorts of unhappiness made Mu Yunjiu restless. How could he still remember that? Earlier, he had boasted that he would return the huge dividend to Bai Qi within a week, but fortunately, Bai Qi did not expect that he would actually return the dividend within a week. With both sides intentionally or unintentionally forgetting about this matter, the bonus matter was not brought up again for the time being.

Ever since she lost her job at the Mu family, Shen Xiao had always stayed at Mu Yunzhu's apartment. In the past when he went to work, she would go shopping, take care of her skin, and maintain herself in her best condition while waiting for him to return home. But now, with nowhere else to go but staying at home, she naturally couldn't go out alone and could only stay at home.

Not only that, three meals a day, washing clothes and cooking, what she did not do in the past, all had to be done personally. In less than half a month's time, Shen Xiao already felt unspeakably miserable, it's not like she had never done these things before, but ever since she and Mu Yunzhu had an ambiguous relationship, her fingers no longer touched the Yang Spring Water, as the saying goes, it's easy to be frugal, but now it's not easy to let her return to the days of being close to everything.

"Yun Zhu, how can father and son have enmity with each other? Why don't you go home and explain it to your uncle? It's better to apologize and let the old man calm down than staying at home all this time." Shen Xiao couldn't bear the current situation any longer, so she took the opportunity to persuade Mu Yunjiu when he was in a good mood.

Mu Yunzhu had originally regretted his impulsive actions. It was not that he had never thought of going home to admit his mistakes. But now that he had been persuaded by Shen Xiao, his stubborn temper rose again.

The expression on his face, which he had struggled to ease up after so long, instantly became cold again.

"If you want to go, go. I won't lower my head to that old man. It would be a joke in vain."

"But, Yun Zhu, it's not the same thing for us to do like this. Staying at home all day with nothing to do, isn't that just making people laugh?"

Mu Yunzhu obviously knew that his current situation wasn't right. However, his initial ambition had disappeared without a trace when he saw that his bank account had less than 10 million yuan in funds. What could this small amount of money do?

Back at the Mu Family, the money he had spent was less than 5 million. But now …

"What do you know about me? Don't you want to invest in something that you don't want to inspect? I know my own limits. If you don't know, then don't bother. "

After Mu Yunzhu finished speaking, he slammed the door and walked into the study, leaving Shen Xiao in the living room, sulking as she stared at the door.

"I don't understand? "Don't think that I don't know what you're doing in the study room. You're still not playing games, it's as if you really have something important to do!"

Shen Xiao muttered a few sentences, but didn't dare to knock on the door. She was still looking forward to Mu Yunzhu's life, so naturally she couldn't say words that would embarrass him.

While Mu Yunzhu and Shen Xiao were doing nothing, Bai Qi took advantage of this opportunity to expand his influence in the Bai Clan. After several big projects had been discussed, who didn't give a big thumbs up to praise that Bai Qi was indeed the successor of the Bai Clan, and was also an aristocratic clan.

Nowadays, there was no lack of rumors in the upper class society. Mu Yunzhu wanted beauties but he actually fell in love with his family's little maid when he had an engagement with Bai Qi. Now, for the sake of a beauty, not only did he have to cancel his engagement with Bai Qi, he even had to give up on the Mu Family.

Although these words sounded like beautiful talk, only Bai Qi himself knew what everyone was thinking in his heart. However, as far as he knew, the upper class society did not appreciate such actions, and the more people lived in the upper echelons of society, the more tests they faced, and the more responsibilities they would have to shoulder. If every heir of a clan loved beauties and did not love mountains and rivers, then the foundation that their ancestors had painstakingly built would be destroyed.

During this period of time, it wasn't only Mu Yunzhu who didn't dare to socialize with him. Old Man Mu was similarly ashamed to attend banquets and teach such a good son of his. His face also lost a lot of color.

Old Man Mu originally thought that the Bai Clan would come to denounce them for their crimes, but after waiting for a long time, no one came. He couldn't help but feel his heart thumping in his chest.

After waiting for nearly half a month, Old Man Mu was finally unable to hold back any longer and called Bai Qi. He wanted to find out about her intentions and figure out what the Bai Clan's attitude towards this matter was.

Upon receiving the old man's call, Bai Qi was holding the report on Mu Yunzhu that he had asked the Confession Society to investigate during this period of time. Upon seeing the contents of the report, the corners of Bai Qiqi's mouth curved into a smile.

However, back then, Bai Qi had not been able to make full use of his advantages. He had tormented himself so miserably for the sake of his so-called love, and the one she loved was such a man that wasn't worth loving at all.

Thinking back, perhaps Bai Qi really did not love Mu Yunzhu. She just wanted to capture someone who could accompany her until the end of her life, someone who had lost her father in the early years. This caused her to feel too insecure.

"Uncle Mu, I'll come over after work. Take good care of your body and wait for me to come over to talk about anything. Don't worry. I won't blame you for the matter with Yun Zhu."

Pitiful Father and Mother, Old Man Mu's true intentions of marrying the Bai Family was definitely not purely for the sake of the Bai Family. Although there was a promise for his old friend and a repayment for his kindness from the past, but most of them probably wanted the Bai Family to be Mu Yunshu's future pillar and pave the way for Mu Yunshu, their son's heart definitely held a large proportion. But unfortunately, Mu Yunzhu did not understand the old man's painstaking efforts.

Just as he hung up the phone call from Old Man Mu, Bai Qiqi received another call from his mother. She looked at the caller ID and couldn't help smiling bitterly. Were these two already arranged?

"Seventh Brother, I heard that the woman outside Mu Yunzhu is pregnant!?" Just as he picked up the phone, the lady's angry voice came from the other end of the line.

"Mom, who did you hear it from?"

Thinking that Bai Qi still needed to explain things to Mu Yunzhu, her mother couldn't help but feel anxious. She had been worried that he might actually let go of Mu Yunzhu. As expected, she was still trying to hide it from her.

"Now, everyone knows. Are you going to hide it from me alone? Seventh Seven, in this situation, no matter how much you love Mu Yunzhu, Mom will not agree with you marrying him. A man like him is not worth it! "

"Mom ~ ~ Who said I was going to marry him. Don't worry, your daughter isn't stupid. Also, the rumors outside can't be trusted. Shen Xiao isn't pregnant."

"Not pregnant!? It doesn't matter if this is true or not, Mu Yunzhu has a woman outside, but it is still a solid fact. Before things did not happen, I could just turn a blind eye to it, but with the way things are now, how can I be at ease and let you marry him? "

"Mom ~" Bai Qi pressed his forehead helplessly and switched his phone to his other hand. He explained patiently, "Mom, I don't think I ever said I must marry Mu Yunzhu. Did you forget? After I returned home, I told you before, I knew that Mu Yunzhan had a woman outside, and I did not plan to continue the engagement with him. It's just that at that time, when he had great influence in the Bai clan, he took umbrage at the Bai clan, so I did not explain things properly. Now that he has made us lose face, it is truly a bit unreasonable for me not to teach him a lesson.

The white mother pondered for a while. "7/7, it's not important if you're not taught a lesson. Mom's worried about you feeling bad. As long as you're not worried."

Her mother's love for her daughter had caused Bai Qi to feel a sudden heat in his eyes. In this world, who else could be truly selfless and unrequited in their love for her other than his own parents? It was a pity that the original Bai Qi did not understand this logic. He had entrusted his love to a man who did not love him, and had neglected the warmth of motherly love around him.

When he thought about how his mother died in such an unreconciled manner in the end, Bai Qi felt a burst of bitterness in his heart. If his mother knew that her daughter died in such a miserable manner in the end, wouldn't the Undead feel uneasy?
