Luo Bing had already anticipated what Mu Ci would say. The corners of her lips twitched slightly, a hint of a smile twitching. "Young Master Mu, since Zhou Shuo isn't here, let's skip this confession. My little junior sister has a simple nature and grew up in the countryside. Everything she sees and hears is beautiful, and she has never been exposed to the dangers of this world. When she met you, she was only three years old. How could she understand anything about love?"
"Seventeen years later, you've become a powerful figure in M City. In terms of talent, cunning, and scheming, she still has the mind of a three-year-old in front of you. Master Mu, if I were you, would you be willing to leave her here?"
Mu Ci was stunned for a moment, smiled bitterly, and was speechless.
Mu Chen suddenly realized that this young man was here to cause trouble. He had thought that his granddaughter-in-law's family was not supportive and her biological mother did not care about her. She was a miserable child.
Unexpectedly, my real family came and they were very nice.
He felt relieved and said with a smile: "I understand. Speaking of which, this matter is our Mu family's fault!"
His attitude suddenly took a sharp turn, and even Luo Bing was stunned for a moment, unable to keep a straight face anymore.
"Luo Bing, right? Is it okay for me to call you by your name? I think you don't mind if I'm a little older than you?" Mu Chen smiled amiably.
Luo Bing said respectfully, "Old man, you are too polite."
That’s good. Mu Chen was very satisfied with Luo Bing’s reaction.
"Luo Bing, I can hear that you value your junior sister Zhou Shuo very much. This is a blessing for our Zhou Shuo. Very good! Luo Bing, you and Zhou Shuo haven't seen each other for many years, right?" Mu Chen looked at Luo Bing with a smile.
Luo Bing hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Yes."
He thought for a moment and then said, "It's true that we haven't seen each other for many years, but—"
Mu Chen waved his hand and said, "I understand. No matter how many years have passed since we last met, your feelings for each other will never change. You've watched her grow up, so your feelings for her are naturally extraordinary!"
Luo Bing nodded seriously.
Mu Chen sighed, "Our Zhou Shuo is so lucky. I wonder how many senior brothers she has?"
"Three of you, I'm second." Luo Bing answered truthfully.
Mu Chen couldn't help but worry for his grandson. Every senior brother came to ask for his sister once, which was enough for Mu Ci to bear!
He nodded at Luo Bing and said, "I completely understand your love for your junior sister. Just like Mu Ci, he is my grandson who I raised by myself. Naturally, I always want to give him the best. I think you senior brothers are the same."
Luo Bing nodded: "Of course." The old man of the Mu family was indeed a reasonable person as Zhou Shuo said.
Mu Chen sighed softly, "When Mu Ci was little, I personally took care of everything for him, teaching him and guiding him. I was afraid he would suffer losses or take detours, and I wanted to pave a bright road for him. But when Mu Ci was fourteen or fifteen, grew up, and began to have his own ideas, I gradually realized that my approach was wrong!"
"I can do many things for him, but I can't experience his life for him! After all, his life is his own, and no one else can replace it. Whether it's bitter or sweet, it's his own life. I can only be a bystander. I can cheer him on and support him, but I can't replace him, no matter how much I love him."
Luo Bing couldn't help but sit up straight.
Mu Chen's eyes sparkled. "I really like Zhou Shuo. Like you said, she's simple-minded and warm-hearted. She's a rare good kid. I completely understand why you three brothers hold her in your hands and protect her. However, she has her own life to live. No matter how much you love her, you can't experience everything in the world for her, right?"
Luo Bing was speechless.
Mu Chen smiled. "Mu Ci is a few years older than her, and they did grow up in different environments, but you know, Mu Ci has had Zhou Shuo in his heart since he was eight years old, and no other girl can enter his heart. Others don't know this feeling, but as a grandfather, I have witnessed it all the way through. I can guarantee you with my reputation as an old man that Mu Ci is sincere to Zhou Shuo!"
"Speaking of Zhou Shuo, she also likes Mu Ci. Maybe she doesn't understand love yet, but she is willing to stay with Mu Ci. That's naturally because she likes Mu Ci and feels safe around him. She is new to the world, and no one else can give her that feeling except Mu Ci. Otherwise, she wouldn't stay with Mu Ci, right?"
Luo Bing couldn't sit still any longer.
Mu Chen struck while the iron was hot, "Luo Bing, why don't we ask Zhou Shuo for her opinion? Although she has no social experience, she has her own ideas. We should respect her, don't you think?"
Luo Bing and Mu Ci were both impressed by Mu Chen's eloquence.
Luo Bing naturally knew this trip wouldn't go smoothly. He'd clearly seen Mu Ci's possessiveness of Zhou Shuo yesterday, but so what? The Mu family couldn't bully Zhou Shuo for not having family. They couldn't assume that the wicked Zhou family was Zhou Shuo's family! He didn't need to wait for his fellow apprentices to arrive; he alone could give Zhou Shuo enough confidence and a sense of security!
However, he didn't expect that he didn't even have the chance to fight with Mu Ci, and he directly ran into Mu Chen.
A legend in the business world of City M.
Luo Bing finally understood what a huge disparity in power meant.
He was confident that he could fight Mu Ci, but he was definitely no match for Mu Chen.
After thinking for a moment, he still insisted, "Grandpa, what you said makes sense, but I'm still worried about Zhou Shuo. How about I take her to my place or let her live at school? If the two of you really have feelings for each other, then we can go on a normal date and have a good relationship. Zhou Shuo is still young and still in school. Wouldn't that be more convenient?"
In short, he just wanted to take Zhou Shuo away. In his eyes, the Mu family was a den of tigers and wolves!
Mu Chen sighed softly, "Zhou Shuo is a very kind-hearted child, and he has learned excellent medical skills. Mu Ci's body... I think you know that we were all discouraged at first."
"I didn't expect Zhou Shuo to say that she could help Mu Ci recuperate. She also took care of him tirelessly the last two times Mu Ci fell ill. Zhou Shuo often said, 'A doctor is like a parent.' This child has truly inherited your master's true teachings. I don't think she'd be at ease if she left Mu Ci alone at home! Otherwise, just let Mu Ci accompany her to your place!"
Luo Bing was really angry.
Mu Chen’s trick was really amazing. He just said: You can’t separate them, or I will give you my grandson too!
Mu Ci smiled, "Okay, Grandpa, let's wait for Zhou Shuo to finish school and ask her opinion. No matter where she goes, I will accompany her!"
Luo Bing glared at Mu Ci fiercely, impressed by his shamelessness.
The cold-faced young master who was rumored to be ferocious and evil was nothing but a shameless scoundrel.
