Sifei couldn't find Yinyin. When she and Lishi chased after Yinyin, they separated and their shadows disappeared into the crowd.

Too lazy to search for them one by one, she went straight back. Unexpectedly, when she returned, Mu and Qing were also gone.

At this moment, Ouyang Zhu called and said that the arrangements for Sifei's entertainment had been made, and asked her to go back and take a look.

Upon realizing that Mu and Qing were still in Qingcheng, Sifei returned to the Guihui Group.

She hadn't expected that Mu Heqing would fall for Li Shi so quickly. She circled around Mu Heqing a few times, her big eyes filled with disbelief.

"He Qing, how could you treat me like this!" Si Fei said with a look of dissatisfaction.

Mu Heqing pressed her forehead; she knew this would happen.

"You! You! You!" Sifei pointed at Li Shi, "You actually chose him?"

“Unexpectedly, three months.” Mu Heqing said succinctly.

"No, I want some too." Sifei found a piece of paper, took out a colored pen, and started writing and drawing on it.

Mu and Qing slammed their hands on the paper and said, "You can't have it either."

One Li Shi is enough; if another Si Fei comes along, she can't handle it.

Like Li Shi, Si Fei can also establish a deeper connection with Mu He Qing, and Mu He Qing can even share some of Si Fei's abilities.

However, everything comes at a price, so it's best to avoid using it if possible.

Mu Heqing asked, "Where is Ouyang Zhu?"

"In her office."

"Why aren't you here?" If nothing unexpected happens, the two of them are usually inseparable.

“Her son is here, and I don’t want to see that kid.”

Seeing that Mu Heqing disagreed, Sifei could only tear the paper into pieces and throw it into the bucket. Mainly because Li Shi was watching her closely, she couldn't force Mu Heqing.

If she really fights with Li Shi, it will be a lose-lose situation, and Ouyang Zhu's group will be in complete chaos.

No rush, there's plenty of time.

Sifei touched Mu and Qing's arms.

Mu Heqing said, "I'm going to find Ouyang Zhu. Yin Yin isn't here, and there's nothing for me to do here."

Sifei naturally followed Mu and Qing.

At this moment, in Ouyang Zhu's chairman's office.

Jiang Kaicheng was clinging to Ouyang Zhu's leg, shouting that he was wronged.

"Mom, don't be angry, please don't be angry! I've warned that woman Xu Ruyi again and again, but she still won't listen and insists on provoking Jiang Mu."

Ouyang Zhu closed her eyes. The group was in trouble, and she was already annoyed. Her silly son was also causing her more trouble.

She looked at the photos on the table; the photos showed men and women entwined, their skin touching, their expressions one of ecstasy.

If it weren't for the timely discovery and intervention by the group's security captain, everyone in the group would know that Ouyang Zhu's son had been cuckolded more than once!

“If you want to embarrass me, just say so. Giving birth to a son like you is already embarrassing enough for me,” Ouyang Zhu said, suppressing his anger.

Jiang Kaicheng sat on the ground, feeling wronged, and called out "Mom" before saying nothing more.

"Alright, get up." Seeing Jiang Kaicheng like this, Ouyang Zhu softened.

"How's Jiang Mu doing lately? Has he been in contact with anyone from the Guihui Group?" Ouyang Zhu asked about Jiang Mu's recent situation.

"No, it seems the old man has given him some work lately, and he's been busy with it. He hasn't been in a good mood. He seemed a little better after he came back yesterday, but he left again soon after." Jiang Kaicheng dusted off his bottom and stood up.

Ouyang Zhu turned her head away. She simply couldn't accept that her son, who was clearly quite good-looking, acted so crudely.

"That's good. Report to me immediately if he makes any moves."

Jiang Kaicheng nodded, then asked with a puzzled look, "Mom, I don't understand why you care so much about whether Jiang Mu has been in contact with people from Guihui? I don't think he has that kind of intention."

He thought Jiang Mu was a decent person and was polite to him. Even when Xu Ruyi harassed him, he still remained polite.

Over the years, he had never seen Jiang Mu get angry with anyone; he was always easy to talk to.

Ouyang Zhu sighed, "During the three years that Jiang Mu served as the president of the Southwest Region, the people below thought he could lead them forward, and the people above thought he could bring greater benefits. Everyone praised him highly. Even the old guys on the board of directors wanted to promote him. But I knew that this kid was not that simple. If I hadn't strongly dissuaded him and fired him, perhaps now Guihui would have become Jiang Mu's private property."

If Jiang Kaicheng weren't Ouyang Zhu's son, she wouldn't have bothered explaining to him at all.

"Is it that scary?" Jiang Kaicheng recalled Jiang Mu's smiling and friendly appearance.

"Hmph, even now, those old fogies on the board still think I'm the one ostracizing my ex-husband's son. They don't even realize that with your father like that, who cares about him? If it weren't for the fact that Guihui has developed well under my management these past few years, they would definitely still want to bring Jiang Mu back."

Jiang Kaicheng was embarrassed and didn't dare to speak. Since his mother had said so, then she was right.

Just then, there was a knock on the door of the chairman's office.

Ouyang Zhu said in a deep voice, "Please come in."

Mu and Qing pushed open the door and entered, discovering that there was indeed a handsome stranger in the office.

Ouyang Zhu's expression softened immediately: "Baby, you're here."

Mu Heqing noticed that the stranger's expression changed when Ouyang Zhu said those words.

He stormed up to Mu Heqing, crossed his arms, and asked, "And who are you?"

"Me? My name is Mu Heqing." Mu Heqing pointed to himself.

"That's not what I'm asking you. What's your position here? I've never seen you before," Jiang Kaicheng glared, unable to vent his anger.

A few years ago, his mother started seeing a woman named Sifei. At first, he thought his mother had just hired a new secretary and didn't pay much attention. Later, he realized that his mother cared about Sifei far more than him, which made him uncomfortable.

He assumed his mother had a taste for this kind of thing, and since she hadn't had anyone else by her side all these years, he, as her son, couldn't say anything. But he never expected that this Consort Si was there to steal his position, and that his mother was raising her entirely like a daughter.

This infuriated him. He made a scene for a month, but to no avail. He could only accept with tears in his eyes that he had gained a younger sister.

Sifei loved painting and usually stayed in her studio. Jiang Kaicheng gradually convinced himself not to care. He had just had a few days of peace when another one came along.

This one seems to be more appealing to his mother, who calls him "baby," something his mother has never called him before!

Jiang Kaicheng felt a pang of jealousy.

Ouyang Zhu walked up to the two men and said to Mu Heqing, "This is my son, Jiang Kaicheng. He's always been this loud and boisterous, there's nothing I can do about it."

She then said to Jiang Kaicheng, "Kaicheng, this is He Qing, a friend of Sifei."

Jiang Kaicheng glanced at his mother, then could only greet Mu Heqing again.

"Hello, I am Jiang Kaicheng."

Mu Heqing nodded. So this was Ouyang Zhu's son. He was so grown up. She had thought her child was still quite young.

When Mu Heqing first met Ouyang Zhu, she told him that she didn't have time to take care of her child. Now it seems that she has a good relationship with her son.

"You and she are friends? How did you two become friends?" Jiang Kaicheng asked, puzzled. In his opinion, Si Fei was a strange person who treated him like a treasure.

“Classmate,” Mu Heqing replied.

"She was a classmate in junior high or high school. Don't you find her difficult to communicate with? My mom, on the other hand, gets along quite well with her. She likes to draw, you know? My mom even prepared an art studio for her. I saw one of her drawings of a face before, it was weird, I didn't understand it, and then my mom wouldn't let me see it anymore." Jiang Kaicheng had a lot of questions.

The way he asked questions reminded Mu Heqing of her nephew, who was still in first grade. No, her nephew didn't use the word "my mom" so often.

“She’s a high school classmate. I know she’s an artist. Do you have any other questions?” Mu Heqing patiently answered his questions one by one.

"Oh!" Jiang Kaicheng exclaimed, "You're much easier to talk to than her. No wonder my mom likes you."

Sifei, who was clinging to Mu and Qing's arms, pouted. She didn't want to see this person; he talked too much and kept mentioning "my mother." Because of Ouyang Zhu, she couldn't do anything to him yet.

Otherwise, she would have locked him in his room long ago and made him stare at her paintings every day, since he's a fool anyway.

"Kaicheng, you go out first. I have something to say to them." Ouyang Zhu had a headache and waved her away.

Jiang Kaicheng agreed, pointing at Mu Heqing and saying, "If you become my sister, I'll reluctantly agree, but my mother can't have any more daughters, or sons either."

Mu Heqing looked puzzled. Why was she going to become his sister? She had parents, and she loved her own mother. She never wanted to be someone else's daughter.

Jiang Kaicheng walked towards the door and saw Li Shi standing by the door. He exclaimed in surprise, "Hey buddy, who are you? How come you're so handsome? You're even better looking than me!"

Li Shi ignored him, but he wasn't angry. He circled around Li Shi a few times, clicking his tongue in amazement.

“Jiang Kaicheng!” Ouyang Zhu repeated his name.

Jiang Kaicheng was so frightened that he immediately left and closed the room door.

Ouyang Zhu said helplessly, "I'm sorry you had to see this."

Mu Heqing shook her head. The world is a big place, and there are all kinds of strange things. She has encountered many strange people and strange things. Jiang Kaicheng is normal in her eyes.

"Chairman Ouyang, what's the progress of your investigation?" Mu Heqing brought up the main topic.

Ouyang Zhu sat down, crossed his arms in front of him, and frowned. "Yesterday I had my secretary investigate Project Department Six, and found nothing unusual. Even the parents of that employee who supposedly went crazy said that their son has returned to normal."

Mu and Qing thought about it for a moment, wondering if she was overthinking it?

Could it be that the people at Guihui Group are simply passionate about their work and averse to gossip, which is why they weren't interested in Li Shi and Li Yu's affair?

Yin Yin was scared away by Li Shi and Si Fei, so the employees who were possessed by him returned to normal.

"Then everything should be fine," Mu Heqing said.

“I’m still worried about the group, but I’m afraid that if things escalate, the situation will become even more complicated,” Ouyang Zhu sighed.

The group is like a calm sea right now; if she were to go down there to seek out a potential danger, she would stir up a storm.

The group was already in turmoil because of the insect incident; if she hadn't suppressed it, the atmosphere might have been tense.

"We can only wait and see." Mu Heqing had no other choice. She had done all she could. Doing too much would lead to the consequences Ouyang Zhu had mentioned, making things difficult to resolve.

From the moment she met Cai, one after another, her high school classmates appeared: Li Shi, Si Fei, Aqi Fa's insects, the unfamiliar Huan Ren, and Yin Yin. This made Mu and Qing wonder why they could live in peace for seven years, but suddenly all of them appeared in a swarm after seven years.
