Mu Ci stood up and wanted to lean against the headboard, but Zhou Shuo quickly stuffed the pillow behind him.
Mu Ci took Zhou Shuo's hand and asked her to sit on the bed and lean against him. After a long while, he whispered, "Mu En does like women. When he was fifteen, he seduced a female classmate because he liked her. Afterwards, my mother gave the girl some money and the matter was dropped. After that, Mu En got out of control and no female companions were spared. I never thought he was poisoned, I just thought it was a character problem. Zhou Shuo, is there any hope for him?"
There was a barely perceptible hint of heartache in Mu Ci's voice.
Zhou Shuo shook his head gently. "Brother, do you know that spoiling a child is like killing him? Madam Mu's treatment of Mu En will only make him worse. The consequences will be disastrous."
Mu Ci didn't say anything.
One is his biological mother, and the other is his biological brother, but they all treat him as not being a member of the family, and his words have no weight and are of no effect.
Mu Ci patted her hand and said, "Don't think about it. I'll let Liu Ming look after him. Just do your best and leave the rest to fate."
What else could Zhou Shuo do except nod?
Mu Ci didn't tell Zhou Shuo that things were not as simple as he said.
Mu En is a good boy in front of his grandfather and the elders of the clan, but in fact, his private life is extremely chaotic.
His mother had been helping him clean up the mess behind the scenes. She had bribed those girls. This was also the reason why his mother didn't let Mu En get too close to girls of the same social status. Any problem that could be solved with money was not a problem. Those girls from small families or those who approached Mu En for money were all easy to deal with.
But if you provoke the daughters of those aristocratic families, that won't be solved with money, and your reputation will also be damaged. Mu En is already the designated heir to Mu Ding, so the most important thing is reputation.
So over the years, the amount of money that my mother spent on Mu En is countless.
Mu Ci just watched coldly, without exposing or saying anything. He and they were not from the same world.
Mu Ci reached out and held Zhou Shuo in his arms. Zhou Shuo immediately found a comfortable position and said drowsily, "Let me sleep against you for a while."
Mu Ci didn't say anything. He was thinking quietly as Zhou Shuo took long and even breaths.
Zhou Le dressed up carefully and prepared to go to Mu En's appointment with a rosy heart.
As soon as he went downstairs, he saw Gu Ming sitting on the sofa, and he couldn't help but frowned.
Gu Ming's eyes lit up when he saw Zhou Le, "Zhou Le, you look so beautiful today."
"Thank you! Why are you here?" she asked him without any joy in her tone.
Gu Ming was stunned for a moment, "Didn't you promise me yesterday that we would go to the movies together today?"
Zhou Le then remembered that he had carelessly agreed to this idiot's request yesterday in order to get him to leave quickly. How annoying!
"I have an appointment today and can't go to the movies with you. Otherwise, you can go with my brother!" Zhou Le's tone was a little cold.
"Zhou Le, who did you make an appointment with?" Gu Ming's mind was a little blank.
Zhou Le rolled her eyes in her heart, but falling out with Gu Ming couldn't be done overnight; it would take a process. Otherwise, she would be branded as treacherous and someone who clung to the powerful, which would be very detrimental to her future in the Mu family.
Thinking of this, Zhou Le smiled lightly: "Gu Ming, I really don't have time today. One of my classmates has returned from abroad, and we have an appointment to meet."
Gu Ming stood in front of Zhou Le and said, "Which classmate? I know all your classmates. Why don't I accompany you? It's not safe for girls to go out at night. Let me be your escort."
Zhou Le couldn't help but sneer in his heart: Protecting a flower? With someone like you, who can you protect?!
Her face remained expressionless, and her tone turned cold: "No, we need to talk about some private topics about girls. It's not convenient to bring you along. Besides, they all laughed at me, saying that I have to bring my boyfriend with me everywhere, which is particularly useless."
Gu Ming was a little hurt.
Zhou Le quickly placed her hand on Gu Ming's chest and said in a tender voice, "Brother Gu Ming, please give me some freedom. We are just little girls getting together. Others don't bring their boyfriends, so how can I bring you? Why don't you go and see if Uncle Gu has anything he wants you to do? Uncle Gu will definitely be very happy if you go."
Gu Ming's expression finally softened, and he said reluctantly, "Then the movie you promised me—"
"Let's see it tomorrow! I promise you, tomorrow's time is all yours! Let's have dinner and watch a movie together, okay?" Zhou Le acted coquettishly.
Gu Ming then slightly turned sideways to make way, but still reached out and grabbed the corner of Zhou Le's clothes: "Then you should go home early, and be sure to call me when you come back, otherwise, I won't be able to sleep!"
Zhou Le brushed Gu Ming's hand away, gritted his teeth, and forced himself to smile adorably, "Okay, I promise you!"
When he finally rushed out of the house, Zhou Le couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
No! We must find a way to get rid of Gu Ming!
She couldn't afford to have a bad reputation, so he had to be the one to take the blame!
Why not let Zhou Cong do this?
Zhou Le took a taxi and went straight to Mu Si's club. Along the way, he was thinking about how to ruin Gu Ming's reputation, break off the engagement with him, and keep him away from him.
The doorman of the club saw that it was Zhou Le, and without asking any questions, he politely saluted and said, "Miss Zhou, please come this way. The second young master has called to urge you."
Zhou Le's face couldn't help but get hot, and her heart was filled with joy. Mu En was so anxious to call her, which showed her position in his heart.
Zhou Le stood outside the door, took a deep breath, and just as he was about to knock on the door, the door was opened from the inside, and Mu En pulled Zhou Le into the house.
"Ah!" Zhou Le screamed, lost his balance and staggered onto the sofa.
Before she could stand up, Mu En's body had already pressed on her. Zhou Le knelt beside the sofa, and Mu En's hand was stuck behind her head, forcing her to look up at him.
Mu En still had that carefree smile on his face, but his eyes were sparkling. "Sister, you're not being good! You're half an hour late than we agreed on, and you made me wait so long. How are you going to make it up to me?"
Looking at Mu En's smiling face, Zhou Le's whole body softened, "Brother Mu En, I'm sorry."
Mu En smiled in a very rogue way, "I don't accept verbal apologies. You have to prove your apology with actual actions and promise that you will never do it again."
