After watching the two of them leave, Duan Si finally let out the breath that had been pressing down on his chest. He pointed outside the door and said to Mu Chen, "Dad! Look, look! She's really just a country girl! She doesn't know any rules. What's the use of having a pretty face? Huh? What's the use?"
"Also, look at Mu Ci, what's his attitude?"
As Duan Si spoke, tears began to fall again.
Mu Chen slowed his voice and advised, "It's already pretty good. You dare to bring it back to us to see? What else are you dissatisfied with? You know his temper. You, as parents, owe him a debt, but you are unwilling to humble yourself and apologize. Are you still trying to pick on his attitude? In this matter, there is nothing I, an old man, can do to help."
Duan Si left silently, feeling sad alone.
Mu Chen sighed softly, his children and grandchildren are all debts!
The housekeeper, Lao Jiang, walked over gently.
Mu Chen closed his eyes and asked, "What did you ask?"
Old Jiang bowed slightly and told Mu Chen in a low voice everything he had learned from Liu Ming.
Mu Chen suddenly opened his eyes, "What did you say? This girl actually has the other half of Mu Ci's jade pendant? Is she the girl who saved Mu Ci back then?"
Old Jiang nodded. "That's what Liu Ming guessed, so the young master changed the break-off to a proposal. Moreover, the young master even wrote a prenuptial agreement, giving all his wealth to the girl."
Mu Chen waved his hand, "That's good, that's good. At least Mu Ci can have someone he truly loves by his side. This is a good thing, a good thing! Ah Jiang, go and tell the eldest young master to handle all matters concerning the Zhou family!"
"Yes!" Lao Jiang responded quickly.
Mu Chen was very excited: "This child, this child, this must be God's will. I couldn't find her and she was sent to him. Ah Jiang, go check this girl out. She looks a bit silly. It doesn't matter whether she knows the rules or not, as long as she has good character! I don't ask for anything, as long as my eldest grandson is happy, anything is fine!"
Back in the car again, the driver started the car without any instructions.
Zhou Shuo carefully glanced at Mu Ci's face. Was he angry again? Intuitively, this time it wasn't because of her.
"Brother Shitou—" She stretched out her hand and waved it in front of Mu Ci.
Mu Ci grabbed her little paw in annoyance and pressed it on his leg.
Zhou Shuo leaned over and asked carefully, "Are you unhappy about marrying me?"
Mu Ci couldn't help but look at her. Is this how you force a topic to talk about?
But looking at the pair of clear eyes in front of him, he still couldn't be cold and hard, and said lightly: "It has nothing to do with you."
Zhou Shuo nodded immediately: "I also think it has nothing to do with me."
Mu Ci couldn't help but feel angry.
The driver and Liu Ming wanted to close their ears. They had never heard anyone talk to the young master like that. Who would dare?
This girl is really capable!
Zhou Shuo said to himself: "So it has something to do with your family? They don't agree with you marrying me?"
Mu Ci's tone softened, "Marriage is my own business, it has nothing to do with other people."
Zhou Shuo nodded in agreement: "I think so too."
The car was silent, and the middle partition rose quietly. Compared to gossip, the driver felt that his life and the housekeeper's life were more important.
Mu Ci touched his forehead: "What do you think?"
Zhou Shuo tilted his head and said, "Brother, you are already such a grown-up. Getting married is your own business. You don't need other people's consent. Master said that when you grow up, you have to be responsible for yourself. You don't need other people's consent to do things. Just make your own decision."
Mu Ci was speechless.
"Where is your master?" He really wanted to invite his master over to have a chat.
Zhou Shuo shrugged: "She went to do some work. She said I had grown up and she was free, so she left."
"Gone?" Mu Ci was surprised.
Zhou Shuo nodded. "Well, I was admitted to M University for graduate studies. It just so happened that Zhou's parents came over. I came to study and returned home. She went about her own business and told me not to look for her no matter what. She would come to see me when she was free."
"Graduate studies?" Mu Ci grasped the key point.
"Yes, M University, Traditional Chinese Medicine." Zhou Shuo said calmly.
"You - studying medicine? A graduate student?" Mu Ci found it a little unbelievable. She was only twenty years old.
Zhou Shuo nodded again: "Master didn't allow me to tell anyone her name. He told me to study on my own and only tell them after I get a doctorate."
Mu Ci breathed a sigh of relief. This amount of information was really overwhelming.
Just as he was about to speak, Zhou Shuo placed his index finger on his lips: "Shh, Brother Shitou, we can't talk about Master anymore. Can you please stop asking?"
Mu Ci looked at Zhou Shuo's twinkling eyes and nodded: "Okay, I won't ask anymore."
Zhou Shuo immediately smiled and twisted his body with joy. "I've repaid my parents for giving me life. School starts in half a month. I have a place to stay, and I've also found Brother Shitou. I'm so awesome!"
Mu Ci was speechless again.
Well, she was right, she was just awesome!
Zhou Shuo patted Mu Ci's leg gently. "I'll treat your leg. I won't let you die. You promised to protect me for the rest of my life. You can't break your promise. If anyone dares to take your life, I'll chase him to Hades' Palace! Master said, we're here to snatch people from the King of Hell!"
She covered her mouth and said, "Oh, I can't mention Master anymore."
Mu Ci didn't want to say a word.
He was a little skeptical that Zhou Shuo had no idea about marriage.
No, there is no doubt that she has no idea about marriage.
While Mu Ci was trying to calm himself down, the car arrived home.
Zhou Shuo was so happy that she had completely relaxed. She pushed Mu Ci's wheelchair and looked at the six-story villa in front of her: "Wow! Brother, your house is so big, even bigger than the Zhou family's villa."
Liu Ming interrupted at the right time, "This is the young master's own property. He usually lives here. On weekends when he's not busy, he goes back to the old house to have dinner with his family. That's where we just went."
Zhou Shuo was surprised and asked Mu Ci, "Brother, you live alone in such a big place? Isn't it lonely?"
No one answered her question.
Fortunately, Zhou Shuo just sighed and didn't need to answer.
Liu Ming had no choice but to continue introducing: "Madam, we have a driver, a chef, a gardener, a maid, a total of sixteen people, as well as four bodyguards and me."
Zhou Shuo was not surprised this time, because there were many people in the Zhou family. Until she left, she didn't figure out how many people there were, nor did she recognize all of them.
Liu Ming immediately gathered everyone to meet the young lady. Everyone had different expressions, but who dared to say anything in front of Mu Ci and the housekeeper?
