Zhou Shuo asked quietly, "Second Senior Brother mentioned that the boss of Zhili seems to be called Yichen."
Mu Ci glanced at Yi Chen, and the four of them looked at Zhou Shuo with smiles.
Mu Ci smiled and said, "This Yi Chen is the boss of Zhili that Luo Bing mentioned. Dong Ran is now Zhili's assistant. Xiao Xi and A Xuan don't work with them."
Zhou Shuo's eyes widened as he looked at Yi Chen, then at Mu Ci: "He is the boss of Zhili, but he calls you Boss?"
Mu Ci nodded with a smile.
Zhou Shuo looked at Yi Chen in shock. Yi Chen raised her glass and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, the four of us are orphans. It was the eldest brother who rescued us from human traffickers and nurtured our education. That's how we are today. The eldest brother and we are like family."
Zhou Shuo was shocked again. This was the first time she heard someone say that they were Mu Ci's family.
Mu Ci knew what Zhou Shuo was thinking and rubbed her head. "It's because the four of them are so good. I just watched and helped a little."
Zhou Shuo nodded slightly. She raised her glass and said solemnly to the four people, "Thank you for treating him as family."
The four of them had not expected that this was the sentence that could move their sister-in-law. They all raised their glasses and clinked them with Zhou Shuo and Mu Ci. The four of them drank it all in one gulp, and Zhou Shuo did not hesitate.
Mu Ci was startled: "Hey, this is wine——"
It was too late, Zhou Shuo drank it all in one gulp.
Mu Ci frowned, reached out to take the drink beside him, and glared at Xiaoxi in reproach. It was Xiaoxi who poured the drink just now.
Zhou Shuo shook the cup and said nonchalantly, "It's okay, brother. Second Brother said that girls need to have a certain alcohol tolerance to protect themselves. I used to drink the wine he brewed, which was even stronger than this."
Mu Ci was surprised.
The four of them were relieved. Xiaoxi patted his chest and said, "I was scared to death. Sister-in-law, if you get drunk, I guess the boss will send me to Siberia."
Zhou Shuo smiled and said, "It's okay, he's easy to talk to, just beg him."
Four people, four astonished faces.
Mu Ci smiled helplessly. He thought that his prestige as the boss would probably be completely destroyed by Zhou Shuo in the future.
Zhou Shuo suddenly remembered something and asked Mu Chen, "What about Chen Su——?"
Mu Ci nodded and smiled, “Chen Su doesn’t know about our relationship. Apart from the four of them and you, only Uncle Liu knows.”
Zhou Shuo understood and subconsciously covered his mouth.
Mu Ci lowered his hand: "It's okay, but it's not appropriate to let others know now. Sooner or later, it will be made public. I will tell Second Brother when the time is right. I want to give him a surprise."
Zhou Shuo nodded vigorously: "Yeah, this surprise is great, very good! Be careful or he'll get mad at you."
Mu Ci smiled: "It's okay, he won't go too far with you here, you are my amulet."
Zhou Shuo thought about it and it made sense. She would protect Brother Mu Ci in front of her second senior brother.
"Sister-in-law, do you know Chen Su?" Dong Ran asked curiously.
Zhou Shuo nodded. "Yes, she's a good friend of mine. She works for you. I called her today, and she was too busy to invite me to dinner. But she seemed very happy. I haven't seen her this happy in a long time. She even said that when she's done with her work, she'd invite me to visit her."
Dong Ran smiled, "It turns out that Chen Su is my sister-in-law's friend. She is very capable. If you don't look at her background check, it's hard to believe that she is a rich girl. If my sister-in-law needs her to accompany you, I can give her more time off."
Zhou Shuo shook his head repeatedly, "No, no! Let her work hard. Work is the most important thing. She will manage her time well. She must really like her job right now."
Dong Ran smiled and nodded. This sister-in-law was quite sensible. She didn't want any privileges and didn't show favoritism.
"Luo Bing is her second senior brother. She was raised by her master and senior brothers since she was a child. Her situation is somewhat similar to yours." Mu Ci then briefly recounted Zhou Shuo's experience without mentioning the Zhou family. He would naturally take care of how they treated the Zhou family, but he didn't want to say it in front of Zhou Shuo.
There are some things that he will solve for her and make decisions for her. No one can get away with hurting her.
I had a very happy meal.
Zhou Shuo met Mu Ci's friends for the first time. He also had friends! She was so happy for him!
She drank a lot of wine with them, and they hit it off right away. She was a little tipsy, and she was smiling all the way to the car, leaning on Mu Ci's arm, and she was still smiling when she got in the car.
Mu Ci started the car and glanced at her worriedly, "How is it? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Zhou Shuo shook his head: "Not uncomfortable? I'm happy!"
Mu Ci felt helpless and reached out to rub her head.
Zhou Shuo grinned: "Brother's action always makes me feel like a puppy, ——Woo——Woof!"
Mu Ci smiled.
Zhou Shuo turned to face Mu Ci, half leaning against the chair: "The four of them are so kind. How did your brother save them? Tell me!"
Mu Ci nodded slightly.
"I've been tracking down the people who kidnapped me. They were professional kidnappers, and I've already clipped many of their wings. Yichen and Axuan were kidnapped in the same group. Because they were orphans, they couldn't get a ransom, so the kidnappers planned to sell their organs. Uncle Liu brought people and rescued them from the operating table."
"I was terrified and collapsed. Yichen has a long scar on his lower back. He almost had his kidney removed. They didn't even give him anesthesia. My younger son, Xuan, witnessed it all from the bed next to Yichen. They both received several years of psychological treatment before they recovered."
Zhou Shuo was horrified when he heard this.
"Dongran and Xiaoxi - these are two different kidnapping cases. They both have families, but they didn't want to pay the ransom and gave up on them. After they were rescued, Uncle Liu wanted to help them contact their families, but they refused. From then on, they never mentioned their families and were willing to be with Yichen Dongran and call themselves orphans." Mu Ci said.
Zhou Shuo couldn't help but sigh.
It turns out that there are so many unfortunate people and things in this world.
"I'm lucky. I met my master and senior brothers." Zhou Shuo murmured.
This also made her feel happier. Mu Ci felt that Zhou Shuo was really kind.
"Brother, doesn't grandpa know that Zhili is yours?" Zhou Shuo finally realized the most crucial problem.
"Well, Zhou Shuo, the business run by the four of them is completely my own and has nothing to do with the Mu family. Sooner or later, I will have to leave the Mu family. If I stay, it will not benefit either me or the Mu family. If I leave, I can still help the Mu family if anything happens in the future. Do you understand?"
Zhou Shuo nodded without hesitation: "Whatever my brother does is right!"
