CH 1

A drizzle was still falling under a misty sky. 

On the top of the hill, a gentle breeze blew through with some slight chill.

In the solemn and heavy atmosphere of the cemetery, a group of men and women in black stood in front of the grave with umbrellas. There was a silence, with only the funeral celebrant reciting the memorial service. 

When the funeral was over and the stream of people began to disperse, a young man in a black suit pulled a timid youngster up to another man who had been standing on the periphery for a long time.

“Zhi Xu, can I ask you something?” Lin Mu spoke, his voice still a little hoarse.

Song Zhi Xu frowned slightly as he looked at Lin Mu’s pale face and the dark-blue color under his eyes. These matters, it was not good for him to interfere and he was also not in the position to do so, therefore he just nodded his head.

“Vjs la.” 

“Itl We, P … Jjc sbe ajxf Ejc Ejc jkjs? P tjnf ab ajxf bnfg atf mbwqjcs obg rbwf alwf joafg atlr. Ktf mbwqjcs lr cba vblcu kfii. P’w jogjlv P mjc’a ajxf mjgf bo tlw. Lf pera mjwf yjmx ogbw jygbjv.

“He is?” 

Lin Mu and Song Zhi Xu met when they were children. The two families still had some shallow friendship, they were also alumni, so they could be considered to know each other’s background very well, but he had never known that there were other children in the Lin family besides Lin Mu.

But looking at the way Lin Mu was pulling him along, it wasn’t like he was a child from another family. 

“His name is Lin Ran. He is my younger brother, blood relative little brother, born of the same father but different mother. He suffered a misfortune when he was a child, so… he is mentally incompetent and has been raised abroad. My parents suddenly passed away so I just took him back.” Lin Mu lowered his eyes and added, “I want you to take him with you when you go back to the capital and take care of him for some period of time. Is that okay?”

With his parents suddenly passed away in a car accident, there were also some problems with the company’s big projects, and Lin Mu also not officially taking over the company yet. Just now, the people who had just left, each with their own agenda, Lin Mu didn’t even know what he was going to face. Besides that, there were no trustworthy people around him, so he thought of handing Lin Ran over to Song Zhi Xu. 

“Ah Mu, I can …” Before Song Zhi Xu could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Lin Mu who pushed Lin Ran to him.

“The friend circle in the capital is different from that in Hai Cheng, not to mention that you can’t help with what’s going on in Lin’s company. I’d be very grateful if you could help me take care of Ran Ran. Is that okay?” 

In the end, Song Zhi Xu only nodded his head and agreed to it.

Lin Mu stroked the top of Lin Ran’s hair again, his voice gentle as he repeatedly admonished him. 

“Ran Ran, this is my close friend, he is a good person. You follow him and after some period of time, Gege will come and pick you up.”

Lin Ran seemed to have some uneasiness, clutching Lin Mu’s sleeve with his white five fingers, a layer of mist rising from his eyes as he called out in a small voice, “Gege.” 

“Ran Ran, be good!” Lin Mu hardened his heart and made a painful decision, pulled his hand away and pushed him to Song Zhi Xu’s side, “When you find Gege’s car down the hill later, ask the driver for your school bag and take it with you.”

Lin Mu glanced at Song Zhi Xu, he nodded and took Lin Ran by the wrist, leading him down the hill. 

Now Lin’s Group was in complete disorder, so the matter that Director Lin had a stupid son couldn’t be blown out again, Lin Mu was afraid that people in the company would take advantage of this matter and used it to keep him from taking over Lin Corporation smoothly.

Therefore Lin Mu could only send Lin Ran away as soon as possible. 

As Lin Ran was being dragged along, he turned around and called out “Gege” in a low voice. Until he saw Lin Mu turn his back on him, only then he pursed his lips and lowered his head, letting Song Zhi Xu pull him away, so obedient as he didn’t utter any sound anymore.
