Chapter 430 - You Left Her Along for Too Long

The next day…

Probably because she always travelled to different countries these years, dealing with jet lag was an easy thing for Xu Youning. At half past seven in the morning the next day, her internal clock woke her up on time.

Holding the quilt silently, she considered whether taking Grandmother out to bask in the sun or just staying with her at home?

Before she could make a choice, the phone on the bedside table suddenly rang. It was Ah Guang’s name that was on the screen.

“Sister Youning, something goes wrong!” Ah Guang said in a very low voice, but his tone still showed his anxiety and panic. “Zhao Yinghong comes for Seventh Brother!

Zhao Yinghong was Mu Sijue’s old rival.

The rivalries existed between the ancestors of the Zhao family and Mu Sijue’s grandfather, and the two families had been struggling against each other for generations. After Zhao Yinghong inherited his family business, he had been trying to bring down the Mu family. But Mu Sijue took over the Mu family’s business directly from his grandfather. After Mu Sijue managed the family business, everything in the Mu family was flawless. Zhao Yinghong failed to seize on any flaw in the Mu family, and had to oppose Mu Sijue secretly and openly.

In the past years, Zhao Yinghong had been unable to endanger Mu Sijue, so he still had to be below Mu Sijue, failing to realize his dream of standing at the peak in City G.

In terms of age, Zhao Yinghong could be the father of Mu Sijue. Losing to a young man, Zhao Yinghong was naturally unreconciled. This time, he was most likely to pry into the information about Mu Sijue after getting the news of Mu Sijue’s injury. Once he proved that Mu Sijue was really injured, he would definitely take this opportunity and cause some troubles.

She must foil Zhao Yinghong’s conspiracy!

Xu Youning got out of the quilt and sat up. “Where is Seventh Brother?”

“Old house.” Ah Guang said, “Zhao Yinghong led a group of people to the old house and said that without seeing Seventh Brother for a long time, he came around here for having morning tea with Seventh Brother, but all he brought here was liquor!”

Xu Youning thought for half a second, knowing what Zhao Yinghong wanted to do and calmly saying, “I’m going there now. Keep in touch.”

She quickly changed her clothes and drove directly to the Mu family’s old house.

At the parking lot in the old neighborhood, Xu Youning saw Zhao Yinghong’s high-profile Mercedes-Benz, as well as several cars and off-road vehicles beside it.

Roughly, Zhao Yinghong took no fewer than ten people there. If they found that Mu Sijue was injured, City G would not be peaceful for some time.

Xu Youning decisively got off the car and ran towards the Mu family’s old house.

Instead of entering the Mu family’s house through the gate, she asked Ah Guang to turn off the anti-theft alarm system, flexibly jumping over the wall into the Mu family’s back garden.

Ah Guang looked at Xu Youning in a daze. “Now I know that you don’t like to walk through the gate…”

“Keep watch. Don’t let anyone find me.” Xu Youning slapped the dust off her clothes and started to climb the wall of the house again.

While protecting Xu Youning, Ah Guang asked, “Sister Youning, what do you want to do? Do you really consider yourself as a gecko?”

Xu Youning blinked at Ah Guang. “I have a way to prove to Zhao Yinghong that Seventh Brother is not injured. Keep calm and don’t give me away later!”

“Okay.” Although he did not know about Xu Youning’s method, Ah Guang still cooperated with her obediently. He watched Xu Youning jump into Mu Sijue’s room through the window, and run back to the living room after making sure that no one saw her.

At this moment in the living room, they were apparently talking with each other cheerfully and humorously. In fact, a conflict was simmering.

Zhao Yinghong poured Mu Sijue a glass of liquor with malicious intent, and said warmly, “Sijue, Uncle Zhao has not been drinking with you for a long time, and today you finally come back from Mexico. You must have a drink with me!”

Mu Sijue’s wound had not healed yet. He must not drink hard liquor, but he did not change his expression and asked meaningfully, “Uncle Zhao, how do you know I just came back from Mexico?”

This time, his trip to Mexico was kept secret and the news could not be disclosed. Zhao Yinghong not only knew that he was back from Mexico, but knew the accurate time. There was only one explanation: Zhao Yinghong had a connection with Kang Ruicheng.

The news of his injury was most likely to be deliberately disclosed to Zhao Yinghong by Kang Ruicheng. Otherwise, Zhao Yinghong would not dare to openly come to confirm this news.

Zhao Yinghong realized that he was about to let the cat out of the bag, smiling and changing the topic. “Speaking of this, Sijue, since you’re cooperating with people from Mexico, I’ll blame you for not introducing them to me.”

At this time, Mu Xiaowu slipped over to Mu Sijue from the outside, and suddenly barked “woof woof” on seeing Zhao Yinghong.

Zhao Yinghong had thought that this Samoyed looked very obedient, but did not expect it to be so scary when it got angry. He was startled with his stiff back against the sofa, and then condemned it. “Sijue, is it your pet? How indocile the beast is!”

A touch of chill flashed across Mu Sijue’s eyes, and he touched Mu Xiaowu’s head. “It would get excited on seeing some guys of its own kind.” After speaking, he raised his head and glanced at Zhao Yinghong, and then seemed to suddenly realize what had happened. “Of course, how could Uncle Zhao be a dog? It has such a poor vision that it mistakenly recognized you as a dog.”

It was impossible for Zhao Yinghong to fail to understand Mu Sijue’s implication, and he pointed at Mu Xiaowu and said, “If my pet has such a poor vision, I would immediately shoot him!”

Mu Xiaowu glanced at Zhao Yinghong, flexibly jumped onto the sofa and proudly leaned on Mu Sijue’s arms. Mu Sijue quickly held it in his arms and said with a smile, “Uncle Zhao, why get angry with your own pet?” The implication was that Zhao Yinghong was too narrow-minded.

“…” Zhao Yinghong failed to bully Mu Sijue and blushed.

Zhao Yinghong knew that Mu Sijue was far better with words than him, and he simply pushed the glass filled with liquor in front of Mu Sijue. “You’re right. At least, I bring it up. What a pity if I’m angry with it and shoot it! Don’t talk about that. Let’s have a drink!”

Mu Sijue calmly raised the glass, and before the glass approached his lips, a familiar and sweet feminine voice had come from upstairs. “Seventh Brother.”

He froze and looked up. Sure enough, it was Xu Youning.

Xu Youning’s long, black hair hung down loosely, slightly messy but not untidy. She seemed to just wake up, and at the moment, even her hair looked sexy and attractive.

But she herself was more seductive than her long hair.

She was wearing Mu Sijue’s shirt which could hardly cover her buttocks, so that her glowing and slender legs were exposed to the air, conservative but fascinating. The woman moved her wonderful legs and came downstairs step by step. Her every step revealing different styles of temptations, which made people hold their breath unconsciously.

She left top two shirt buttons undone, so that the exquisite and attractive curves were hidden in the loose clothes and barely visible, which was an ultimate temptation.

Coupled with Mu Sijue’s men, there were no fewer than thirty men in the living room. Mu Sijue clearly heard them gasp, and then it was weirdly silent in the living room.

Uniformly, everyone was staring at Xu Youning, and even Zhao Yinghong who had countless women opened his eyes widely.

Mu Sijue squinted, and for no reason, a flame of anger welled up in his heart.

If they were not on the occasion, he would definitely lock up Xu Youning in the room for three days!

However, Xu Youning also struggled to do this.

Dressing like this before so many men, and pretending to act casually, Xu Youning was very struggling and wished to turn around and leave immediately.

But in order to help Mu Sijue hide the truth from Zhao Yinghong, she could not care about that.

Xu Youning was trying her best to play her role. She walked into the living room with ignoring others, sat next to Mu Sijue, intimately pressed half her body against his arms, and complained sweetly about him. “Didn’t you promise me to stay here for a little while? I’ve been waiting for you in the room for more than half an hour!”

The men’s eyes fell on her shapely and straight legs, but she was completely unaware of that. She complained to Mu Sijue in a sweet and soft voice, like a kitten who lost her temper deliberately.

Mu Sijue knew what Xu Youning wanted to do, quickly holding her into his arms, putting a coat around her shoulders and whispering in her ears, “When did you come?”

After speaking, he casually grabbed a strand of Xu Youning’s hair. Such an intimate posture made everyone think that they were flirting.

Xu Youning smiled, gently pounded on Mu Sijue’s chest with her unclenched fist, and shyly buried half her face in his arms. “You’re so naughty. Stop talking about that. How could I know when I fell asleep last night?!”

Although she “deliberately” lowered the voice, others still heard her words, and someone laughed meaningfully.

At this moment, Xu Youning seemed to realize that there were other men in the living room. Seeing Zhao Yinghong’s look, she blushed and wished to hide all her body in Mu Sijue’s arms. “If they stay any longer, I will directly drive them out!”

Mu Sijue looked at Xu Youning’s clothes, and found that it was really improper for her to have a fight. He kissed her on the forehead in front of the crowd. “There are so many people. Go upstairs to change your clothes.” There was a touch of true pamper in his tone. He had never spoken to any other woman in such a tone.

“Okay”, Xu Youning shyly said, clung on to the coat that Mu Sijue put around her shoulders, and trotted upstairs.

Zhao Yinghong’s gaze followed Xu Youning until he could not see her back, and then he smiled at Mu Sijue and asked, “Sijue, did I disturb you?”

“It doesn’t matter.” Mu Sijue smiled meaningfully, with focusing his gaze on the place where Xu Youning disappeared, as if he was recalling something. “It’s a long day today.”

Zhao Yinghong laughed and sighed. “Sijue, you are really lucky to have such a woman! But, you never laid a finger on women working for you, didn’t you? What happened between you and this girl?”

Mu Sijue had no shortage of women, but he would never sleep with the women working for him. It had always been an unwritten rule of Mu Sijue, and no one knew why.

Xu Youning suddenly became an efficient assistant to Mu Sijue, and some people had speculated about her relationship with Mu Sijue. But in front of outsiders, they had not done anything intimate. It turned out that they had long been in an intimate relationship in secret.

Thinking about that, Zhao Yinghong stared at Mu Sijue with a more meaningful look.

Mu Sijue smiled ambiguously. “She is different.”

“What’s the difference?” Zhao Yinghong asked with interest.

“She not only works for me, but belongs to me.” After a pause, Mu Sijue said with a gloomier look, “So, you know how to deal with Tian Zhen.”
