As Mu Yuchen’s calm voice was heard, Zhou Zimo was stunned. He looked in disbelief at Mu Yuchen. “You’re crazy!”

“I’m not doing it for nothing. It’s a 40-60 divide, so it’s not a loss,” Mu Yuchen answered nonchalantly.

Zhou Zimo picked up the water from the side and drank a few gulps before he said, “I’ve got nothing to say to you. I really want to pry open your head and see what’s inside! Forget it. I don’t have many comments since things have progressed as such. You just do whatever you want. I’ll discuss it with Su Chen later on. Hey, can you be sure that Qi Lei won’t turn on you?”

“I don’t know,” Mu Yuchen responded calmly.

“Pfft! Then, why are you so calm?! You make me look like the bad guy now. Alright, don’t just give me that face. I’ve given him my people since you asked. Of course, I’d do it, you…”

“You’d better talk seriously now. If you glance over with that look again, I’ll dig your eyes out!”

Mu Yuchen could not stand Zhou Zimo’s evil gaze, yet he liked to pull those sorts of tricks. Because of this, he always got beaten up by Su Chen, yet he just would not stop. He had held back before, but now probably because he was lonely and bored, all his old habits were out again.

Zhou Zimo just laughed out loud. “I always think about the times that we brothers have gone through together. In the blink of an eye, thirty years have pa.s.sed. Sometimes I feel like…”

“Don’t continue. You and Su Chen…no one can replace you. Apart from being brothers, we are more like confidantes. Don’t be jealous of Qi Lei. It’s not a bad thing to gain another friend. You should just find yourself a woman.”

Mu Yuchen did not understand what Zhou Zimo meant.

“Do I look like someone petty? This fellow just gives me the feeling of a younger person surpa.s.sing the master, and I don’t feel too good about that. I’m worried you’ll be taken advantage of!” Zhou Zimo did not hide his disgruntled expression as he continued, “But you’re right. While I can only have one woman, having a buddy or two more is a fortunate thing. Alright, let’s not talk about this anymore. Let’s talk about Lingshi instead. I heard from Ah Mo that Lingshi’s pregnant!”

“Mmm.”

“Then, Gu Qiwu…”

“Lingshi knows everything. I think Gu Qiwu probably knows about it too. The two of them will have to meet sooner or later. Just let them be. Whatever will be, will be.”

“That’s true…”

…

Xi Xiaye was discharged that morning after the bandages were changed. They handled the procedures for the discharge and returned to Maple Residence.

The wound healed rather quickly. As the wounded part was twisted on her palm, the wounds on her face had faded. It was just that one on her forehead which might leave a scar.

Aunt Fang had already coaxed Mu Xiaocheng to sleep. Xi Xiaye sat before the study desk and carefully flipped through the doc.u.ments on the table.

They were all doc.u.ments that Mu Yuchen had not had the time to browse through. Even though Xi Xiaye had left Glory World, the husband and wife would usually work together, so Xi Xiaye more or less knew about Glory World’s situation. The news flowed between the two enterprises. Sometimes, she thought of combining the two companies into one in the future but now was not the time because Glory World’s focus was not on real estate. She still needed to consider the compatibility of both companies.

She took the doc.u.ment and carefully flipped it open. She was about to pick up a pen when she felt a pang of pain from her palm. Her fingers could not quite curl naturally. When the pain came, she could not even hold a pen properly.

She looked helplessly at her tightly bandaged palm, then she sighed to herself and set the pen aside. She closed the doc.u.ment and turned to look out the window. The sun that had hung high in the sky was now setting.

At this time of the day, she felt like going to take a look in the backyard. Mu Yuchen had previously asked someone to bring some precious flower seeds from Holland. They had been scattered for quite a while now, and she wondered if they had grown.

She was about to get up when the phone on the table suddenly vibrated. Xi Xiaye took a look at the screen. It was unexpectedly a call from Mu Zirui’s cla.s.s teacher.

Subconsciously, she frowned and answered the call.

“h.e.l.lo? Is this Mu Zirui’s mother, Madam Xi?” A woman’s voice came through very quickly.

Xi Xiaye instantly responded, “Hi, I’m Xi Xiaye, Mu Zirui’s mother, and you…”

“Hi, Madam Xi, I’m Mu Zirui’s cla.s.s teacher, Chen Ting,” Teacher Chen answered.

“h.e.l.lo, Teacher Chen. Do you need anything? Xiao Rui…” Xi Xiaye started to worry, so she hurriedly asked softly.

“Madam Xi, Mu Zirui was stung by a hornet and is having an allergic reaction. He’s at our school infirmary right now. The doctor’s given him an injection to decrease the swelling, but he might need to rest a day or two, so…”

“What did you say? Xiao Rui was stung by a hornet? What happened? How is he now?” When Xi Xiaye heard that, she immediately got up with a pale expression. Her twinkling eyes were colored with a hint of worry.

“The doctor says it’s fine after the injection. He’s still unconscious right now, but don’t worry. The doctor says he’ll wake up soon.”

“He still hasn’t woken up yet? Why won’t you send him to the hospital immediately then? What if something happens to him?”

Xi Xiaye had heard that it was hard to endure a hornet’s sting, and if it was severe, it could even lead to being shocked to death. Panicked, she spoke worriedly as she rushed out of the study room in huge strides.

“Don’t worry, Madam Xi. The doctor’s checked on him. He said that he’ll be fine, but are you free to come over now to bring him home to rest?” Teacher Chen asked.

“Got it. I’ll be there right away!” Xi Xiaye frowned and hastily answered before hanging up and rushing downstairs as she shouted for Sis w.a.n.g, “Sis w.a.n.g! Sis w.a.n.g!”

Sis w.a.n.g quickly came over. When she saw Xi Xiaye so panicked, she quickly asked, “Missus, what’s wrong? Why are you fl.u.s.tered?”

“Quick, send me to Xiao Rui’s school. He’s been stung by a hornet and he’s still unconscious now. Hurry!”

When she heard that, Sis w.a.n.g dared not delay further. She quickly went to get the car keys.

“Aunt Fang, let Grandfather and Grandmother know later. Just say that I’ll be back right away!”

w.a.n.g Hui and Mu Yinan had gone to the nearby supermarket to get some groceries because they wanted to cook a feast for Xi Xiaye that night, and they should be getting home soon.
