Chapter 385 They're going to separate.

When Mu Yin answered the phone, the whole family turned to look at him.

Seeing the reluctance in his eyes, Song Chi tilted her head slightly, her bright eyes fixed on him, and had a vague sense of unease in her heart!

Upon seeing this, Mu Yin said "wait a moment" into the phone, then looked at his family.

"Grandpa, Dad, baby, I'm going out to answer a phone call."

The group nodded in agreement.

Go!

Mu Yin got up and left to answer a phone call outside.

At that moment, Cheng Shu happened to rush back and didn't see him in the corner, so she spoke before he arrived.

"Dad, Zhenxuan, I'm back. Have your son and daughter-in-law returned?"

Mu Zhenxuan smiled.

"Everyone's back, we're just waiting for you before we can eat!"

When Cheng Shu walked in, she saw her son making a phone call in the corner and her daughter-in-law pouring tea. She smiled slightly and went over.

When Song Chi saw her, she called out sweetly.

"mom!"

"Why!"

Cheng Shu smiled broadly and agreed, choosing a seat next to her.

Song Chi naturally took her arm and handed her water.

"Mom, you're all sweaty. Did you rush back? Have some water and rest for a bit."

Her tone was full of concern.

Cheng Shu happily accepted the teacup.

It turns out that she had poured the tea because she heard her voice and prepared it for her.

Cheng Shu felt a sweet warmth in her heart.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law sat side by side, naturally affectionate, not like mother and daughter-in-law, but more like a loving mother and daughter.

"Yes, the new company is opening the day after tomorrow. There are many things to prepare, so I kept a close eye on things to avoid any mistakes on opening day. That's why I came back late!"

"Daughter-in-law, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. You're pregnant, you can't go hungry. Go to the dining room and eat!"

Cheng Shu heard that they were going back to the old house tonight. After finishing her work at the company, she returned late.

"Mom, I'm not hungry!"

As Song Chi spoke, he took a piece of fruit and held it to Cheng Shu's lips.

"Mom, thank you so much! I'll feed you some fruit."

Her voice was sweet, with a hint of coquettishness at the end.

Cheng Shu's mouth was split open all the way to her ears!

"We're family, no need to be so polite, no need to say thank you!"

As she spoke, she ate the food that Song Chi handed her.

She didn't know how sweet the food was, but she felt incredibly sweet inside!

"Having a daughter is wonderful~"

"Mom, you're the best mom in the world!"

Song Chilou snuggled against her arm and acted coquettishly.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were so affectionate and warm together!

Beside them, Mu Zhenxuan and Old Master Mu exchanged a smile.

They witnessed what had just happened and felt very gratified.

When Mu Yin finished his phone call and walked over, his expression was grave.

The family looked at him, all with worried expressions.

Grandpa Mu asked, "A-Yin, what's wrong?"

Song Chi looked at him with concern.

"It's An Lisen. Originally, the plan was for me and him to go to the US on a business trip the day after tomorrow. But it just so happens that my darling's new company is opening, so I asked to postpone it for a day. Unexpectedly, he contacted me personally, claiming that he's leaving for the US tonight."

I disagreed, and he actually used the excuse of balancing his career and family to play the victim, saying his seriously ill son was running out of time and he needed to speed up the project! It made it seem like if I continued to disagree, I was being unreasonable!

According to his investigation, Anlison is indeed married and has a seriously ill son.

Rumors suggest that their collaborative projects abroad stemmed from his desire to fulfill his son's dream!

However, for President Mu, a businessman, he cares more about profits!

If this project is successfully completed overseas, it will further expand the Mu Group.

However, cooperating with this Anlison is extremely risky, with both advantages and disadvantages!

Mu Yin frowned, feeling that this matter was of utmost importance!

Upon hearing this, the family members looked at each other in bewilderment.

Cheng Shu said, "Ayin, if you go on a business trip tonight, you won't be able to attend your daughter-in-law's new company opening ceremony. She'll be so upset. Besides, given your previous cold and ruthless attitude, would you care about Anlisen's life or death?"

Mu Yin: "..."

He remained silent, his gaze fixed on Song Chi.

Song Chi: "..."

She lowered her head and remained silent.

When President Mu saw that she was not speaking, he assumed that she was sad and felt a pang of guilt.

Actually, Song Chi wasn't really sad; he was just weighing the pros and cons.

Mu Yin paused for a moment, then continued.

"I'll contact him right now and reject his offer!"

After saying that, he was about to take out his phone to make a call.

Song Chi quickly stopped him.

"Uncle, please stop..."

"how?"

Mu Yin looked at him in surprise.

"Uncle, you're already in the eye of the storm. The internet is full of condemnation and boycotts against you. At this critical juncture, investors are using your children as a starting point. If you coldly refuse, netizens are like the Leshan Giant Buddha, they'll definitely call you heartless. And if you have another negative news story, we'll be speechless and unable to clear our names! It will be completely difficult to clear our names of the previous injustices!"

Then all the countermeasures we discussed today have been for nothing, don't you think?"

Mu Yin: "..."

This was also a concern for him, which is why his expression was so somber.

"But I don't want to miss the opening ceremony of your new company!"

Song Chi smiled slightly.

"Uncle, we're family. We'll be spending a long life together. There will be many important opening ceremonies and anniversaries in our lives. It's normal to miss them occasionally because of important things. I understand and won't take it to heart!"

Mu Yin knew that she was doing it entirely for his sake.

However, if he agrees, they will be separated for a long time.

He couldn't bear to part with it!

He looked at her with a pitiful expression.

"So, you want to kick me out?!"

"Uncle~ You know how I could bear to kick you out, I just don't want to see you being criticized by netizens anymore!"

She took his hand and said coquettishly.

"My suggestion is that this business trip is most suitable for you, but the most important thing is for you to consider it yourself. I will respect whatever the outcome is!"

Upon hearing this, Mu Yin felt a surge of warmth in his heart.

However, his gaze was deep, containing factors she couldn't understand.

Mu Yin did not tell her that he suspected there was a risk in Anlisen seeking cooperation with him.

However, the Mu family does need to expand its business overseas!

So, no matter what Anlison's intentions were, he had to go abroad. First, nothing ventured, nothing gained; second, he also needed to conduct on-site inspections of other projects!

It seems this business trip abroad is unavoidable!

President Mu let out a reluctant sigh.

"Wow!"

Although she was reluctant to let him go, she did what a virtuous wife should do when she heard his reply!

With eyes full of reluctance, she said, "Uncle, let me help you pack your luggage."

"Yes, it's upstairs. Let's go tidy it up together!"

After saying that, he looked at the other family members.

"Grandpa, Dad, Mom, let's go upstairs and pack our luggage!"

"Okay, go ahead!"

This was Song Chi's first time visiting the old house, and he was unfamiliar with the place.

Mu Yin led her to his suite.

Upon entering the house, the interior design immediately gave off an impression of extravagance!

As soon as Song Chi entered the house, he was immediately embraced tightly by his uncle. The hug was full of reluctance to part!

"My darling, I can't bear to part with you..."

"Uncle, I'll miss you too... Even though your Mu family is very wealthy, raising three babies is very expensive. We need to work hard to earn money to support them!"

"Yeah, you're right. I still have time. Let's cuddle for a bit while we can..."

President Mu chuckled wickedly and leaned down to kiss her lips.

Two people, about to part, kissed each other deeply, reluctant to leave.

downstairs

While the couple was talking, none of the others could get a word in edgewise.

Cheng Shu snorted coldly: "You brat, your wife is pregnant, and you still want to go on a business trip abroad!"

Mu Zhenxuan: "Isn't this to earn money for baby formula?"

"The Mu family's wealth is more than enough for eight generations to use up. Why does he work so hard? Don't let my daughter-in-law suffer! Don't you think so?"

Mu Zhenxuan: "Yes, yes, yes..."

Whatever my wife says goes; my wife is the greatest in the world!

"You big dummy!"

Old Master Mu glared at him, and the usually elegant old man couldn't help but swear.

"The Mu family is wealthy and powerful, but if the descendants are not ambitious, even the largest family fortune will be ruined. Thanks to our ancestors, A-Yin married a wife who helps him in every way. She is indeed a virtuous helper in his career, instead of being sentimental and clinging to him, holding him back..."

Grandpa Mu was very pleased and became increasingly satisfied with Song Chi!

Cheng Shu clicked her tongue.

"Dad, are you saying that I'm not ambitious and am holding Zhenxuan back?"

"You silly girl, I know you're just worried about your daughter-in-law!"

Cheng Shu then smiled smugly.

After a moment of contemplation, Old Master Mu said, "Zhenxuan, I know what gift to give my granddaughter-in-law. Come to my study with me..."
