Ah Mo did not say anything and just silently stared at Gu Qiwu, his reserved and imposing manner not giving in to Gu Qiwu’s.

While as Ah Mo was sizing him up, Gu Qiwu also fixed his gaze on him while his dark eyes refracted a shifting light. His stern face was a little tense, but you could not quite read his expression.

The two of them seemed to confront each other for quite a while before Gu Qiwu spoke up, “Nice to meet you, Ah Mo! Looks like you still remember me.” His deep voice contained a hint of amus.e.m.e.nt, but it sounded cold to Ah Mo.

“Mr. Gu of the Hui Gu Corporation, you were quite popular a while back. It’d be quite hard to not remember you.” Ah Mo’s face was calm as he responded calmly.

The curve on the corner of Gu Qiwu’s lips widened. Then, he pointed at the seat across him. “Have a seat!”

Ah Mo looked at him thoughtfully, then walked over and sat down.

“I remember the last time we sat across each other like was a few years ago when Mu Yinan came to City B to talk business. I made an appointment with him, but he didn’t come and sent you instead. He regards you quite high, and you have quite a status in the Mu family.”

Gu Qiwu’s inquisitive gaze paused on Ah Mo’s face. Although his tone seemed a little meaningful, Ah Mo could hear a hint of disdain. Still, he was used to these things because he had seen such tricks before.

“Mr. Gu, you’re wrong. There’s no such thing as a hierarchy in our Mu family, just the elders and those who come after them,” Ah Mo replied.

Gu Qiwu suddenly laughed. His calm tone was filled with a hint of disdain as he taunted, “No hierarchy? Our Mu family? Are you already part of the Mu family? I heard that you were just an orphan that Mu Yinan adopted from the orphanage.”

Even if that were hard to hear, Ah Mo’s expression did not change at all. He looked at Gu Qiwu calmly, “I think you don’t want to see me today just to discuss my background, do you?”

“You’re quite a hard one. I heard about you from Ah Yong. You used to be Mu Yinan’s expert help, and now you’re a capable subordinate of Mu Yuchen’s. Even Ah Yong was praising your capabilities. However, these things cannot cover up the truth of your background.”

When Gu Qiwu said this, he paused and examined Ah Mo again before continuing, “You should have a better chance, and not lower yourself to just be Mu Yuchen’s subordinate as Glory World Corporation’s common project manager, don’t you think?”

In the end, Gu Qiwu’s tone seemed to sound like he was probing. His dark brows were slightly raised as he looked at Ah Mo with amus.e.m.e.nt.

Ah Mo slowly lowered his gaze, hiding the shadow that flashed in his eyes. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“You know what I mean! But I won’t point it out either.”

A sneer flashed across Ah Mo’s lips. “I’m sorry, Mr. Gu. I don’t understand what you mean.”

“You and I understand each other. I personally admire your capabilities and think you’re very responsible. You’ve stayed at the Mu family for so many years, and done so much for them. Mu Yuchen should at least arrange for a better position for you, shouldn’t he? Do you need me to make it any clearer? I accidentally found out a while back that your wife’s pregnant too. As a man, don’t you think that you should give your child a better life?” Gu Qiwu’s voice continued to drone on.

“Let my woman and child have a better life? Mr. Gu, do you know this logic too?”

When he heard this, Ah Mo found it even more ironic. This man did not mention Lingshi at all, and instead, talked at length about these things.

As Ah Mo finished, Gu Qiwu’s profound gaze took in all of Ah Mo’s disdain. However, he did not answer him and his expression did not seem calm.

He thought to himself that Mu Lingmo definitely knew about his relationship with Mu Lingshi. However, Gu Qiwu did not plan on pointing it out bluntly.

“You should consider my words. With your capabilities, you shouldn’t just be a little project manager. Besides, don’t they say that they see Mu Lingshi as a Mu family’s daughter too?”

Upon hearing this, Ah Mo’s expression began to shift from dark to light as he glanced uncertainly at Gu Qiwu, “Can you give me a better deal?”

Gu Qiwu instantly smiled, seeming to be satisfied with the changes on Ah Mo’s face. “At least, I won’t be stingy with my own people.”

Upon hearing that, Ah Mo had a mixed expression. He looked quietly at Gu Qiwu and pursed his lips tightly without uttering a word.

“You can go back and consider it, Glory World can only be Mu Yuchen’s. Although you think of him as one of your own, he might not. Six years ago, after that tragedy, is that not enough to show what the problem is? After going through that, you should understand it very well. In fact, it was Mu Yuchen who asked you to arrange for the people. I heard that you hesitated then, didn’t you?” Gu Qiwu went on with a lower voice though Ah Mo could hear a hint of strangeness.

Ah Mo quickly looked up and met with Gu Qiwu’s to catch a hint of coldness from his dark eyes!

It looks like this Gu Qiwu’s resentment towards Brother runs deep.

“Alright, you can go back and think about it. I’m looking forward to your answers. If you’re willing to become part of my people, I’ll allocate an even vaster s.p.a.ce for you.”

…

Afterwards, Ah Mo did not answer Gu Qiwu’s question.

When he left the clubhouse, it was already very late at night, and Maple Residence had already fallen into silence. Xi Xiaye had just coaxed Mu Xiaocheng to sleep and bathe, while Mu Yuchen was browsing through some doc.u.ments in the study room.

When the phone rang, Mu Yuchen answered without even looking.

“Brother, it was really as you said! On the way home earlier, I was stopped by Gu Qiwu’s people who brought me to meet him!” Ah Mo’s voice sounded solemn as he spoke softly.

Mu Yuchen reacted calmly. “Hmm? What did he talk to you about?” As he answered, he closed the thick book he was holding and put it back onto the shelf.

“He wanted me to be one of his chess pieces. I think it was meant to go against you. He even brought up that thing with Lingtian, but his move of trying to drive a wedge between us doesn’t seem very clever,” Ah Mo said, unfazed.

Upon hearing that, Mu Yuchen’s expression froze slightly, then he answered coldly, “Whether it’s clever or not depends on who it was targetting. If it were really someone, this might actually be a good trick.”
