Shen Yuhe smiled and said, "Do you think Mom is blaming Lin Qing? I was just worried about what happened a few days ago, so I put aside other things today and waited for you to come."
Only then did Lin Qing feel relieved.
Mu Li also knew the purpose of this trip, so he said, "Mom, about what happened that day—"
Shen Yuhe interrupted Mu Li: "There's no rush for this matter, let's talk about it later."
The implication was that he didn't want Lin Qing to hear it.
Mu Li agreed and took Lin Qing around the house.
Lin Qing was a little dazzled.
What a big house!
Collectibles can be seen everywhere in the house, all of which are priceless and top-quality items.
Lin Qing remembered that his father also had a hobby of collecting, and he had these toys displayed at home.
But compared with the ones here, it's probably a bit inferior.
Mu Li took Lin Qing to the second floor. When turning the corner, Lin Qing looked up and saw that there were stairs leading upstairs.
"There's an attic upstairs, and usually only father goes up there." Mu Li explained as he led Lin Qing towards the corridor.
The feeling of this home is completely different from Mu Li's house.
Luxurious, elegant and magnificent.
Even the wall lamps in the corridor are carefully designed, using soft yet noble lighting colors.
Along the way, Lin Qing couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Suddenly he bumped into Mu Li from behind.
She tilted her head back and rubbed her sore nose.
Mu Li smiled and pointed to the room on the right: "This is my room."
Lin Qing opened his eyes wide and stared at the door for a long time, looking impatient.
Mu Li pushed the door open and walked in.
Although I haven't lived there for a long time, the housekeeper still cleans the house regularly.
The furnishings in the room were not much different from before I left home, and there was no smell of dust in the air.
As soon as he came in, Lin Qing had a familiar feeling.
It was indeed where Mu Li lived.
She was concentrating on observing Mu Li's room inch by inch, and Shen Yuhe stood at the door without her knowing when.
Mu Li saw it and was about to speak, but she made a gesture to stop him.
Shen Yuhe waved and asked him to come out.
Mu Li walked outside and asked in a deep voice: "Mom, what's wrong?"
Seeing that Lin Qing was staying in the room with great interest, Shen Yuhe said, "Let her stay for a while, and you come with me."
Mu Li followed him to the study.
After closing the door, Shen Yuhe's voice visibly sank: "Xu Yuan came here that day."
Mu Li was not surprised when Xu Yuan was mentioned.
"What did she say?"
"She said you were planning to get back together with her." Shen Yuhe told Mu Li what happened at that time.
It turned out that when Lin Qing left the TV station, Xu Yuan did not chase after him.
Instead, he found the Mu family.
The one who opened the door was the butler, who recognized the woman who had left the young master at first sight.
Although no one in the family gave explicit instructions, the old housekeeper was still a little wary.
"Ms. Xu, is there anything I can do for you?" His tone was clearly distant.
Xu Yuan pretended to know nothing and just said he wanted to see Mu Li's mother.
Mu Yonghao was in the study at that time, and the housekeeper did not want to disturb him, so he had to let Xu Yuan in.
Take her to see Shen Yuhe.
Shen Yuhe never expected that the woman who left her son to go abroad would come to her door so openly after so many years.
I couldn't help feeling annoyed.
However, he still politely invited Xu Yuan to sit down in the living room.
Xu Yuan looked pale, as if she had just cried, and her eyes were red.
Shen Yuhe signaled the housekeeper to go and pour tea, leaving only the two of them in the hall.
"Ms. Xu, what brings you here today?" Shen Yuhe went straight to the point.
Xu Yuan felt extremely wronged, his shoulders trembling: "Mu Li he, he..."
I couldn't utter a word, I was almost in tears.
Shen Yuhe was watching the live broadcast of that program just now, thinking that Mu Li had just solved one problem, but another one popped up.
"What's up with him?"
"He did something wrong to me!" Xu Yuan accused.
Shen Yuhe's eyes turned and said, "My son, how have I wronged you?"
The tone was quite stiff.
Xu Yuan said: "He promised to be with me, he said he only loved me, but now..."
Shen Yuhe interrupted, "Mu Li and Lin Qing have been married for a long time, how could he say such a thing to you?"
Shen Yuhe knows her son quite well.
Xu Yuan sobbed: "Auntie, you also know that he and I have been together since college. Later, I had to go abroad because of some things. This time I finally came back just for him! He knows all this, but he still refuses to come back to me..."
The more he spoke, the more aggrieved he felt, and Xu Yuan's eyes became redder.
How could Shen Yuhe believe it? Her expression became even colder: "If it was Mu Li who made the decision, I can't help you."
Since Xu Yuan came to her for help, she might as well refuse him before he even opens his mouth.
Xu Yuan was indeed startled and looked up.
Those tear-red eyes looked at Shen Yuhe like a life-saving straw.
"Aunt, I have no choice but to come to you now. Mu Li and I love each other so much that we can't miss each other because of such a small matter. I also know that he and Lin Qing are married without any feelings at all, so don't take it seriously!"
"You can't take it seriously?" Shen Yuhe said in a serious tone, "Their marriage is agreed by both parents, so why can't we take it seriously?"
Faced with the doubts, Xu Yuan paused.
"Auntie, that's not what I meant. Mu Li and I can't miss each other anymore. We really love each other!"
"If he loves you, why would he come to me?" Shen Yuhe revealed indifferently.
Xu Yuan just sobbed and said, "I hope Auntie can persuade Lin Qing to divorce and stop interfering with me and Mu Li!"
"Nonsense!" The good-tempered Shen Yuhe was also annoyed at this time, "You said Lin Qing was interfering with you and Mu Li? I think it's you who is interfering with them!"
If Xu Yuan thinks that crying can overcome all truths, then he is too naive.
Or does she feel that everyone in the Mu family is on her side
"Auntie, you know how much Mu Li and I loved each other back then!" Xu Yuan was excited.
At this moment, perhaps I am really recalling the scene of that year, and my heart is moved.
It would have been fine if she hadn't mentioned it. Once she did, Shen Yuhe immediately sent her away: "I still remember clearly how you abandoned Mu Li back then."
After hearing this description, Mu Li frowned.
"That's what she said?"
"I think she will target Lin Qing again. You should be careful in the future. Lin Qing is a good girl. Don't let her be bullied." Shen Yuhe warned earnestly.
Mu Li naturally understood.
At this time, Lin Qing knocked on the door outside the study.
Mu Li quickly responded.
"Finally found you." Lin Qingsong breathed a sigh of relief.
Her little face was about to wrinkle with nervousness because she suddenly couldn't find Mu Li.
Mu Li smiled and rubbed her: "Miss me?"
Lin Qing saw Shen Yuhe from the corner of his eye and called her "Mom". He pushed Mu Li and said, "No."
Seeing that she looked a little shy, Mu Li raised his eyebrows.
"Let me show you enough."
Lin Qing became even more shy and his face turned red.
Mu Li just found it interesting.
Seeing how affectionate they were, Shen Yuhe smiled and nodded.
The housekeeper came upstairs at this time to call them to eat.
The lunch was sumptuous and Lin Qing ate very full.
Because Shen Yuhe had a date out in the afternoon, she didn't let them stay long.
"Then we'll come to see you next time." Lin Qing bowed before leaving.
Mu Li took Lin Qing away.
Shen Yuhe was very satisfied with her daughter-in-law.
Whether in the past or now, she looks down on Xu Yuan.
On the way, Lin Qing felt a little tired.
She tilted her head to one side and closed her eyes.
She heard some of the conversation in the study.
I wasn't eavesdropping on purpose, but when I was looking for Mu Li, I vaguely heard a voice.
Those words didn't sound real, as if they mentioned Xu Yuan.
Lin Qing still finds it outrageous that her best friend had become the culprit who intended to steal her man and framed her.
"By the way, there is something I still need to tell you." Mu Li suddenly opened his mouth, breaking the silence.
"Hmm?" Lin Qing said lazily, without raising his eyes.
"Chen Qudong is divorced." Mu Li said in a flat tone.
Lin Qing was slightly startled.
Is the senior really divorced
She remembered that during that period, seniors always came to her to talk.
If she hadn't met her senior at that time, would all these things that happened later have not happened
"Should I go and say hello?"
"The reason I told you this," Mu Li paused, his eyes darkened, "is to tell you not to go look for him."
It turns out he was jealous.
Lin Qing suddenly lost all his tiredness and couldn't help laughing while staring at Mu Li.
"What are you laughing at?" Mu Li glanced at her.
Lin Qing shook his head: "No, no. I just think you are cute."
Perhaps the only one who dares to use the word "cute" to describe Mu Li is Lin Qing.
"Don't forget the cocktail party tomorrow." Mu Li reminded.
Lin Qing then remembered and scratched his hair.
Mu Li had mentioned this matter earlier, but Lin Qing just listened to it as a normal thing and didn't take it seriously.
Lin Qing rarely comes into contact with Mu Li's circle of friends. This time, Mu Li wanted to take her to meet someone.
The purpose of the cocktail party was to celebrate a friend's birthday.
Because it was this friend’s first birthday after returning to China, the scene was more grand and formal.
Mu Li whispered to Lin Qing that the atmosphere at the cocktail parties held in the past was much more relaxed.
"It doesn't matter." Lin Qing held up his wine glass and looked towards the stage from time to time.
Standing there was today's protagonist - Gao Luo, the second young master of the Gao Group.
He is a young master with a scholarly air and gentle manners.
Lin Qing couldn't help but compare him and Shan Rong in his mind.
When she heard from Mu Li that Shan Rong went abroad, she felt regretful for a long time because she couldn't see him off.
At this time, Gao Luo simply thanked everyone for coming on stage and announced that he would take over the group's affairs soon.
This is undoubtedly breaking news.
It seems that everyone was unaware of this before, and their expressions were different now.
Most of those present were from prominent families and had a lot of business dealings, so of course we had to take this opportunity to pay some attention.
Gao Luo on the stage showed a somewhat indifferent aura.
Lin Qing rarely saw a returnee bachelor like Gao Luo who was so gentle and refined, and couldn't help but take a few more glances at him.
Unexpectedly, Mu Li discovered it.
He leaned over and kissed her hard on the lips in front of everyone.
Lin Qing immediately felt people looking at him and lowered his head: "What are you doing all of a sudden? Someone is watching."
Mu Li raised her chin: "I don't care."
But…
She will care.
This person is really domineering and casual.
I just don’t know if the host of the cocktail party saw it.
Lin Qing lowered her head shyly, not daring to look at him again.
After the thanks were given, the guests dispersed to the hall.
It wasn't a very large cocktail party and there weren't many people.
But those who were present were all important figures.
The host of the party thanked them one by one and was polite again.
After several rounds, it was already a while when it came to Mu Li's side.
At this time, Lin Qing was a little bored, so he was holding a blue and white porcelain plate next to him, staring at the fruit cake on the long table.
"Lin Qing, come here." Mu Li waved to Lin Qing who was choosing a cake.
Lin Qing walked over gracefully in that fishtail dress.
"She is my wife, Lin Qing." Mu Li put his arm around Lin Qing's graceful waist and introduced her.
Gao Luo exclaimed: "Very beautiful."
He placed a kiss on the back of Lin Qing's hand.
Lin Qing was not used to this kind of etiquette and shrank back.
