Chapter 478 Jewelry Competition

"Honey, what's wrong?"

Mu Yin was outside the door when he heard Song Chi's voice sounded strange. He felt a surge of tension and pounded on the door, wanting to rush in.

Song Chi was anxious and hurriedly put on his clothes.

When Mu Yin rushed in, she had just finished dressing. She took a few deep breaths and composed herself.

She smiled slightly, but the smile seemed forced.

"Uncle, why are you kicking the door!"

Mu Yin walked over, put his arm around her shoulder, looked her up and down, his eyes full of worry.

"Honey, something sounded off about you just now. What happened? Are you hiding something from me?"

As he spoke, he secretly glanced around the bathroom.

Everything in the bathroom was set up as usual, except that she had changed her clothes. He frowned and instinctively wanted to lift her clothes to check.

With that thought in mind, he was about to make his move.

Seeing this, Song Chi quickly straightened his clothes.

"Uncle, you're overthinking it. I'm not hiding anything from you."

The first time she lied to him, a flicker of panic crossed her eyes.

He looked at her intently, taking in her gaze as well.

His eyes darkened.

He thought that since he and his wife were so loving, there would be nothing more he could hide from each other.

However, he discovered that she still had things she was hiding from him.

He was somewhat sullen.

But then he thought about it again, and realized that his precious wife was just a 20-year-old girl with a sensitive mind.

She has something on her mind, but she doesn't want to talk about it, and that's okay.

He will stay with her until, or until he himself realizes, what she is hiding.

Thinking about it that way, he felt relieved.

"Honey, the car is ready, let's go."

"Uh, okay."

Seeing that he wasn't asking any more questions, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The couple left.

However, before parting, Mu Yin glanced at the clothes she had changed out of in the bathroom.

And then, he noticed that there was a product he didn't recognize on the bathroom countertop.

He was certain that it wasn't his.

That must belong to his precious wife!

His eyes flashed, and he thought to himself that he would take a closer look when he got home from get off work to find out what was going on.

The couple got into their car and drove away.

The original plan was for Song Chi to go to the company and then report to the new school, while Mu Yin would go to the Mu Group to resume his work.

However, Mu Yin said, "Honey, I'll take you to the company first. After I've settled things at Mu's Group, we'll go to school together."

Song Chi was both surprised and delighted.

"Uncle, don't you still have an interview to do?"

"The interview is not as important as your registration. I'll go with you first."

A warm feeling welled up in her heart, and she hugged him and gave him a kiss.

"Uncle, you're so kind~"

Mu Yin grinned foolishly and pulled her into his arms.

The atmosphere between the two was warm and pleasant.

Suddenly, Mu Yin's phone rang; it was Cheng Zhou calling.

He answered the phone.

"A-Zhou, what's the matter?"

Cheng Zhou said on the phone, "Ayin, today is the day Mu Nianbai is being appealed. As the plaintiff, are you going to court?"

Upon hearing the name 'Mu Nianbai,' Mu Yin subconsciously frowned, a flash of disgust crossing his eyes.

"I will have my lawyer go."

Cheng Zhou paused for a moment, then said, "Fine, anyway, the evidence against Mu Nianbai is conclusive. Even if he hires a defense lawyer, he can't be cleared of wrongdoing!"

Upon hearing this, Mu Yin frowned.

Under such difficult circumstances, how did Mu Nianbai manage to hire a defense lawyer?

Mu Yin subconsciously felt that someone was helping him in secret, and a strange sense of crisis rose in his heart.

“Ah Zhou, I have a lot of things to take care of today and I really can’t attend the court hearing. However, I can’t let my guard down. Please let me know as soon as there is any progress in the court proceedings.”

"Between brothers, there's no need to worry about trouble. Don't worry about it, I'll keep a close eye on things from start to finish!"

The two brothers exchanged a few more words before hanging up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Mu Yin looked grave.

Who exactly is secretly helping Mu Nianbai, and even hiring a defense lawyer for him?

Seeing his somber expression, Song Chi looked worried.

"Uncle, what's wrong? Is there some change in Mu Nianbai's court proceedings?"

Mu Yin curled his lips into a cold smile.

"Honey, don't worry. Even if something unexpected happens to him, I have other ways to suppress him!"

He exuded a cold aura.

"Yeah, sir, good will always prevail over evil. There's no way he can clear his name again!"

Song Chi was once again utterly amazed by his aura at that moment.

At the same time, she wasn't worried because she believed that her uncle was fully capable of dealing with Mu Nianbai.

Last time...

Her uncle fell into Mu Nianbai's trap, not because he was inferior to him, but because Mu Nianbai was capable of using underhanded tactics.

This time...

She snorted inwardly.

Mu Nianbai has lost his domineering CEO status. With his current abilities, it would be like throwing an egg against a rock for him to compete with her uncle!

As they were talking, the car arrived at Songchi Company.

"Honey, we've arrived at the company. I'll take you upstairs."

"It's just a few steps, no need."

"No, I'll take you."

Mu Yin insisted on seeing her off.

Song Chi felt a warmth in her heart and no longer refused.

The couple got out of the car one after the other. She took his arm, and the two chatted and laughed all the way to the company.

Their loving atmosphere drew envy from those around them wherever they went.

at the same time

From afar, Zhao Xiaoyi saw the couple in the hall. Seeing their loving expressions, she was filled with envy and jealousy.

Her fingernails dug into her palms, the pain keeping her calm and controlling her facial expressions.

"Xiaoyi, look how lucky Boss Song is! She married the right man and never has to worry about food or clothing. Unlike us, we work our butts off and still don't have any money... Sigh..."

Her mouth was full of envy.

Suddenly, she thought of something and said again.

"Xiaoyi, I heard that a company is going to hold a jewelry design competition in our city A. As a well-known designer, you must participate in this competition!"

The winner will receive a million-dollar cash prize!

Moreover, it's said that the organizer is a handsome, unmarried man, and if you win first place, you'll gain his favor.

Who knows, she might even marry into a wealthy family and live a better life than Boss Song.

Zhao Xiao was also moved upon hearing this.

She glanced at Mu Yin, then at her colleague at the front desk.

At that moment, Song Chi and Mu Yin happened to walk near the front desk.

Zhao Xiaoyi's voice was neither too loud nor too soft.

"I don't care about the young, handsome, and unmarried organizers. What I really want to do is participate in this jewelry design competition. Not for any other reason than to let more people see my designs."

It's not so much about winning first place, but about elevating myself!

The receptionist looked amazed upon hearing this.

"Wow, Xiaoyi's vision is amazing! I'm really looking forward to this jewelry design competition!"

Song Chi and Mu Yin happened to walk over here, and their conversation inadvertently reached their ears.

Song Chi: "..."

Zhao Xiaoyi's first half of her statement sounded very 'upright and honest,' but it also gave people a very uncomfortable feeling.

She didn't take it to heart.

However, she was deeply attracted by a jewelry design competition she heard about.

She asked curiously.

"Xiaoyi, what jewelry design competition are you guys talking about?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xiaoyi turned around, her face showing surprise at discovering them standing behind her.

"Boss Song..."

"Big boss..."

She addressed them respectfully.

Song Chi nodded.

Zhao Xiaoyi glanced at Mu Yin unintentionally, subconsciously brushing aside the bangs that were hanging down by her ear, her heart pounding like thunder.

Mu Yin looked at Song Chi, but didn't even glance at her.

Xiao Li, the receptionist, said, "Mr. Song, we're talking about this jewelry design competition hosted by Song's Enterprise. The venue and eligibility criteria have been finalized, and registration is currently open..."

Song Chi looked at it curiously.

Mu Yin frowned.

The Song Group? Could it be the Song family of City C?

They've actually expanded their business to City A! He could guess their intentions with his toes; he couldn't help but let out a cold laugh…
