Chapter 15 Dead Brain, Think Hard!

Mu Ziyan looked up when she heard this, blinked, and realized that the person being referred to was Zhao Ling from earlier. Mu Ziyan was very clever and quickly realized that the person being referred to was Zhao Ling.

Chao Xian's face was extremely ugly.

Anyone who realizes they've been used would probably be in a bad mood.

Not to mention, Chao Xian originally thought he could escape the original storyline.

Yet, in some mysterious way, he still became the female lead's stepping stone.

Could it be that even though I've transmigrated into this book, I can't change the fate of the Mu family and the original owner of this body?

Chao Xian only accepted the fact that he had transmigrated into a book shortly after winning the Best Actor award.

We've already prepared ourselves for the possibility of never being able to go back.

But now, telling him that this world is still a dead end...

How could Chao Xian possibly accept this!

Chao Xian only knew the fates of a few of them.

I only heard my assistant mention what the male and female leads had done in their morning court.

You're so dense! Think of something!

Chao Xian felt like his whole body was about to shatter.

"Why are you unhappy?" Mu Ziyan could tell.

Chao Xian seemed to be unhappy because of the saleswoman who had just worked there.

Mu Ziyan was a little confused: "You can drive her away, and she will never appear in front of you again."

That way, Chao Xian won't be unhappy.

Upon hearing this, Chao Xian froze, then looked up at Mu Ziyan.

Mu Ziyan ate the ice cream in her hand with a serious expression.

Chao Xian smiled bitterly to himself.

The one with that power is Mu Yunzhou, not He Chaoxian!

However, how could a minor say such a thing?

"Since you understand this principle, why do you still let yourself be bullied at school?"

Chao Xian looked at Mu Ziyan with disdain.

Mu Ziyan paused in her ice cream eating, then answered seriously after a moment of silence: "Because they are too stupid, not worth it."

Chao Xian almost laughed out of anger.

Very good, that's very much like Mu Ziyan.

No wonder he's the son Mu Yunzhou raised.

That's too domineering.

“But if I really drive this person away, and people find out later, even if the Mu family is in the right, it will still give them something to talk about,” Chao Xian said slowly, looking at Mu Ziyan’s seemingly understanding but not quite.

Chao Xian couldn't help but sigh: "Zi Yan, you are still too young."

Chao Xian scooped up a spoonful of ice cream.

Chew.

Forget it, as long as the Mu family doesn't fall, it doesn't matter if the female lead gets involved with Jian Huai.

After all, all of Jian's Group's projects now require the final decision from Mu's Group.

If Jian Huai weren't stupid, he would know by now to try and please Mu Qianyu.

But who can say for sure?

After all, even someone with a brain wouldn't do something like finding a substitute behind their fiancée's back while she's going abroad.

To prevent any unforeseen circumstances, Chao Xian spent a little money to hire a reliable studio to monitor Zhao Ling and Jian Huai's movements.

It's safest to leave this to the paparazzi, since they're professionals enough.

Chao Xian felt that the female lead and Jian Huai would likely take further action.

After finishing her ice cream, Mu Ziyan looked at Chao Xian. She thought for a long time but still mustered up the courage to speak: "If you really don't like it, you can have someone else make it. The Mu family can handle it."

Mu Ziyan's words sent a chill down Chao Xian's spine.

No wonder the Mu family became cannon fodder.

With such ideas, and since they're going against the original male and female protagonists, how could they not become cannon fodder?

But Chao Xian could sense that Mu Ziyan's concern for her was genuine.

However, the original owner deliberately praised Mu Ziyan to death, pulling him out of his own world and then forcibly turning him into an arrogant playboy.

"No! How can a child use his power to oppress others? You need to have composure!" Chao Xian patiently instructed Mu Ziyan.

She is determined to raise Mu Ziyan into a well-behaved and polite child.

Mu Ziyan said "Oh," and then her mind raced: "I think I just heard someone cursing at you."

Chao Xian subconsciously pulled up his sleeve, and under Mu Ziyan's "I knew it" gaze, he twitched the corner of his mouth.

You little rascal! You actually dared to scam him!

Chao Xian gritted his teeth: "I'm an adult, you're a child, we're not the same!"

Mu Ziyan snorted.

Watching Chao Xian finish his ice cream.

I stood up and walked towards the elevator.

Chao Xian followed behind, too angry to speak.

Treason!

What an unfilial son!

Chao Xian swore: This matter cannot be suppressed without a single piece of cake!

He absolutely wouldn't speak to Mu Ziyan without at least two cups of milk tea!

This is the authority of parents!

Chao Xian and Mu Ziyan returned to the Mu family in silence.

Even when passing by Mu Ziyan, Chao Xian couldn't help but hum softly, clearly telling Mu Ziyan that he was angry.

Mu Ziyan was carrying Chao Xian's things, yet she still had to endure Chao Xian's displeasure.

He seemed more like a servant than a servant himself.

After delivering Chao Xian's things to Chao Xian's room, Mu Ziyan took out her phone and ordered some of Chao Xian's favorite foods.

The moment the takeout arrived, Mu Ziyan knocked on Chao Xian's tightly closed door.

Chao Xian stood at the door, listening to the commotion outside. After Mu Ziyan knocked twice, he finally spoke up fiercely, "What is it!"

"Hot pot, milk tea, and small cakes." Mu Ziyan's voice wasn't loud, but it was just loud enough for the person behind the door to hear.

Just hearing Mu Ziyan's voice was enough for Chao Xian to smell the aroma of hot pot.

Since Mu Ziyan's apology was sincere, he accepted it.

Chao Xian opened the door and raised her chin.

After going downstairs, Chao Xian sat on the living room sofa and watched Mu Ziyan insert a straw into her mouth and open the hot pot, pushing it in front of her.

The treatment befits an emperor!

"The mixed martial arts grading exams are coming up soon, you should take one too," Chao Xian said casually.

Mu Ziyan nodded after hearing this, indicating that she understood.

Chao Xian felt a little embarrassed as he noticed Mu Ziyan staring at him intently from the side. He was eating alone.

He pushed the hot pot towards Mu Ziyan.

As human beings, we should learn to share.

Under my own guidance.

Mu Ziyan will definitely grow up to be a well-behaved, obedient, sensible, and polite child!

Just as Chao Xian finished thinking, he turned around and saw Mu Ziyan pick up a shrimp.

"Wait, that shrimp is mine!!!"

Mu Ziyan: Heh...

Chao Xian waited at home for two days but Zhao Ling made no move. Instead, the Shuangya Banquet began.

Mu Qianyu had called Chao Xian early on, wanting him to accompany her.

Chao Xian originally had no intention of attending any banquet, after all, he had attended countless such banquets before he transmigrated into the book.

They can't get enough to eat, and they have to control their mouths at all times to maintain their aloof image.

I'm so tired.

But Mu Qianyu kept coaxing Chao Xian, talking for almost an hour.

Upon hearing this, Chao Xian felt dizzy and vaguely agreed.

By the time Chao Xian realized what was happening, the call had already ended.

Chao Xian: ?

He didn't want to become a spice in the romance between the young couple!

At the Shuangya Banquet, Mu Qianyu might appear with Elder, so what's the point of bringing her along?

Chao Xian felt a headache coming on.

Continuing into the evening, Mu Yunzhou and Mu Ziyan watched Chao Xian's distressed expression at the dinner table.

Both of them couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.

Mu Yunzhou glanced at the fewer dishes and rice than usual, then looked at Mu Ziyan beside him, as if asking Mu Ziyan if he had offended Chao Xian.

Mu Ziyan turned her head, avoiding Mu Yunzhou's gaze, indicating that she didn't know either.

"Will Elder attend the Double Asia Banquet?" Chao Xian finally asked, his gaze falling on Mu Yunzhou.

Upon hearing this, Mu Yunzhou thought for a moment: "Could it be that Mu Qianyu invited you to the Shuangya Banquet together?"

Chao Xian subconsciously looked up at the person in front of her.

Chao Xian nodded quickly: "How did you know?"

Mu Yunzhou couldn't help but sigh. How did he know?

That's because Mu Qianyu also called him.

Mu Qianyu did want to bring Elder along, but the Shuangya Banquet was currently the most anticipated banquet in the mainland, and it was naturally impossible for Elder, as a foreigner, to get in.

Moreover, the Mu family doesn't want Mu Qianyu to break off her engagement with the Jian family and then immediately announce that she has a marriage partner.

He is also the heir of a family that is on par with the Mu family in the international market.

If such news gets out, the Mu family will once again become the target of public criticism.

However, Mu Qianyu and Mu Yunzhou were never afraid of those people, because strength is the foundation of a person's standing.

Mu Yunzhou didn't say anything else, but simply said softly, "I heard that a good pastry chef came to the Shuangya Banquet. Mu Qianyu probably thinks you'll like him."

Upon hearing this, Chao Xian, who had been struggling with his thoughts, instantly forgot about them.

So there were delicious desserts there; no wonder she wanted to go too.

My good friend, you even thought of yourself when there was something delicious to eat!

Before transmigrating into the book, my past self always attended banquets to network or for the sake of the director.

However, the Shuangya Banquet venue doesn't sound like an entertainment banquet at all.

If I were to go, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to fit in with those people.

"If you want to go, then go. But it's probably too late to have a tailor make clothes now. Have some clothes sent over by one of Mu's brands tomorrow," Mu Yunzhou said considerately.

Chao Xian was stunned when he heard this, scratching his head. He hadn't even agreed yet, but Mu Yunzhou had already arranged everything.

The banquet was an evening dinner.

Mu Qianyu arrived at Mu Yunzhou's villa early in the morning from the Mu family home, just in time to run into the company assistant who was bringing people to deliver clothes and jewelry.

Mu Ziyan had been waiting for them on the sofa for an unknown amount of time. After nodding slightly to them, she glanced at her watch and said, "Wait ten minutes."

According to Chao Xian's schedule, Chao Xian will wake up in five minutes and then start washing up and cooking.

Chao Xian's daily routine was very regular, and Mu Ziyan only observed it a few times before getting used to it.

At least it won't interfere with my school time.

Mu Ziyan thought to herself.

The assistant and Mu Qianyu exchanged a glance, then sighed and sat down to wait for Chao Xian to wake up.

The company employees around him dared not sit down casually.

After all, their purpose was to serve the president's wife.

It's not for them to enjoy.

Moreover, they had never met the president's wife before, and if they offended her over such a trivial matter...

That would be a huge loss.

"Why aren't you sitting down?" Mu Ziyan turned to look at the employees, as if simply asking a question.

The man in the lead, carrying jewelry and clothing, said softly, "No, no need, young master, we can just stand here."

Mu Ziyan merely frowned, then stopped asking questions.

When Chao Xian came downstairs, Mu Ziyan first handed him the fruit tea that he had prepared in advance.

"What's for breakfast this morning?" Chao Xian asked lazily, glancing casually across the living room and noticing everyone nodding slightly at them.

"Didn't we agree on noodles last night?"

Mu Ziyan was dissatisfied that Chao Xian had forgotten the agreement they made the night before.

Chao Xian pouted, glancing around: "Of course I remember! I was just testing you!"
