Chapter 81 Standing Up



When Zhou Shuo came down, he saw Song Nan whispering something in Duan Si's ear, and Duan Si nodded frequently.

Seeing her coming, both of them stopped, looked at each other tacitly, and moved their bodies apart.

Song Nan turned his eyes away, and Duan Si immediately looked disdainful.

"How many gifts did the Shen family give you? You must have carefully examined each one of them, marveling at them as you looked at them, right? Just think about how naive you must be!" After saying this, she laughed disdainfully.

Song Nan had no choice but to smile in agreement, and then glanced at Zhou Shuo very carefully, afraid that she would be unhappy.

Zhou Shuo didn't even look at her, but smiled and nodded. "The Shen family's grandparents, uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters are so kind. They gave me so many things. I've never seen so many good things! These are all their thoughts. I have to keep them well and cherish them. Don't you agree, Madam?"

Duan Si opened his mouth but couldn't say anything. He glared at Zhou Shuo angrily.

Song Nan smiled gently and said, "Zhou Shuo, Auntie wants to tell you that you are the daughter-in-law of our Mu family. You must consider our Mu family more in everything and must not lose our family's reputation."

Zhou Shuo nodded. "Yes, Sister Song Nan is right. I'll keep that in mind."

Song Nan choked. She thought Zhou Shuo would refute her. Only if she refuted her would Duan Si have an excuse to continue educating her.

Unexpectedly, her obedient nodding was like a punch on cotton, and she almost sprained her waist.

She forced a smile and said softly, "Auntie, look, how obedient Zhou Shuo is. You don't have to worry about her bringing shame to the Mu family. She will definitely not go to the Shen family and do anything to betray them!"

Duan Si frowned and said sternly, "Zhou Shuo! I'm telling you, since you've married into the Mu family, you're a member of our Mu family. From now on, if you go to the Shen family, or if someone from the Shen family asks you to go, you must notify me and I'll accompany you! Remember?"

Zhou Shuo looked at Duan Si in surprise, "Why?"

"Why? Because I am your mother-in-law! I am worried that you will embarrass our Mu family outside!" Duan Si's eyes were a little fierce.

Zhou Shuo grabbed an orange, tossed it in his hand, and said nonchalantly, "Sure!"

She agreed so easily that Duan Si was speechless.

Is Zhou Shuo smart or stupid?

The orange that Zhou Shuo threw up was suddenly intercepted.

Zhou Shuo turned around and said happily, "Brother!"

Mu Ci peeled the orange in his hand and put the orange segments to her mouth. He watched her eat it before slowly saying to Duan Si, "Mom, are you worried that the Shen family will treat Zhou Shuo too well and that he will dominate your sister-in-law in the future?"

Song Nan gently pulled the corner of Duan Si's clothes, and Duan Si stopped acting impulsively.

Mu Ci observed the two men's actions, placed the peeled orange in the peel, and handed it to Zhou Shuo. Without looking at Duan Si, he said calmly, "I've talked to Grandpa, and I'm withdrawing from all Mu family businesses."

"Really?" Duan Si was surprised.

Mu Ci lowered his eyes slightly, and when he raised them again, his eyes were clear.

"Yes, grandpa has promised me." Mu Ci's voice was calm.

"Then, your grandfather - that Mu En -" Duan Si was a little incoherent.

Mu Ci didn't respond to her words. "The Shen family likes Zhou Shuo, that's her business with the Shen family, it has nothing to do with the Mu family. When you have a daughter-in-law you like in the future, you can train her carefully. Zhou Shuo is not suitable to be with you."

Duan Si's face was a little embarrassed, "Are you afraid that I will bully her?"

Mu Ci looked at her and nodded gently: "Yes! The thing that Mom is most worried about will not happen, so there is no need to embarrass Zhou Shuo anymore. She and I have our own lives to live."

"You——" Duan Si was so angry that he couldn't speak.

Song Nan hurriedly advised, "Auntie, don't be angry. Mu Ci didn't mean anything else. He was just afraid that you and Zhou Shuo would have a conflict."

Duan Si sneered, "He's just protecting that girl."

In the end, she took the Shen family into consideration and removed the word "wild".

Mu Ci exhaled softly, "Yes, she is my wife, of course I have to protect her."

Duan Si looked at Mu Ci and suddenly felt sad. "Why is my life so miserable? I'm your own son, and you treat your own mother like this! Tell me, how have I wronged you? Why do you hate me so much? Why are you so wary of me?"

"You only care about yourself. When have you ever respected me or loved your brother? I finally see clearly that you and your father are birds of a feather! You both forget your roots when you see a woman! What can I expect from you? Why is my life so miserable?"

Duan Si kept repeating while crying. She had been saying this for so many years that she was very familiar with it and could recite it fluently.

Mu Ci supported himself on the wheelchair with his hands, stood up, took Zhou Shuo's hand, and walked upstairs without saying a word.

Duan Si's crying behind him suddenly stopped.

Duan Si and Song Nan watched in amazement as the two walked away hand in hand.

Mu Ci's steps were slow but steady, and he took each step powerfully and firmly.

No matter what, you can't tell that he is a person who has been sitting in a wheelchair for many years and has difficulty walking.

The elevator went up to the next floor, and Duan Si and Song Nan's sight was blocked by the elevator door.

"He can actually walk?" Duan Si murmured.

Song Nan was shocked and had mixed feelings.

What did she miss?

Mu Ci was originally within her reach! But now that he had stood up and could even walk, he was no longer within her reach!

Why? How could she swallow this?

Zhou Shuo was a little worried and wanted to turn back, but Mu Ci stopped him. He said softly, "Let her make a fuss. She'll give up after she's made a fuss."

Zhou Shuo didn't know whether Mu Ci's "give up" meant him or his mother.

Zhou Le heard about Mu En on the set.

Everyone on the set was excitedly exchanging information they had obtained, some official and some gossip.

The film has become popular even before it was finished, which is a happy thing for every cast and crew member.

"Bang", a person fell off the chair in the corner.

"Hey, Zhou Le - what's wrong? What's wrong?" Everyone hurriedly helped Zhou Le up.

Zhou Le was in tears, trembling all over, his face was extremely pale, and he hugged himself tightly with his arms, but he couldn't say a word.

"Hey, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Do you want to call an ambulance?"

"What's going on? Wasn't it fine just now?"

"Hey, stop standing there and call her family!"
