Zhou Shuo didn't want to tell anyone about Mu Ci's arrangement, so he just chuckled.
As Chen Su packed up her medicine box, she said, "No wonder my eldest brother went to so much trouble to send you to our house. Although we all know he wanted to support you, we had no idea your family was so shabby. How could you have such parents and a brother? And such a vicious and shameless adopted daughter? I've really opened my eyes!"
Zhou Shuo, however, didn't care much. "I also found it difficult to accept it at first, but then I thought about what Master said. We are people with a weak connection to our parents. We have done what we should do, and we don't force anything else. Because we have nothing to ask for, there will be no resentment. It's good for both others and ourselves!"
Shen Su was stunned for a moment when she heard Zhou Shuo say these words so calmly.
Zhou Shuo waved his hand in front of her eyes, "Hey, come back to your senses! What are you thinking about?"
Shen Su bit her lip and said softly: “Actually, my mother and I are also very embarrassed in the Shen family.”
Zhou Shuo looked at her in confusion.
Chen Su smiled bitterly, "My sister, brother, and I have the same father but different mothers. It's said that my mother interfered with my father's marriage, which led to the death of my sister and brother's mother. My brother broke off relations with my father and ran away from home. My sister was also raised by my grandparents."
"I've actually known all this since I was little, but I just pretended not to know because I was afraid others would mention it and hurt me and my mom. So, I've been very aggressive and domineering since I was little. No matter which of my brothers and sisters provoke me, I will fight them to the death. Over time, no one dared to mess with me, and I became a notorious person."
Shen Su lowered his eyes.
Zhou Shuo was surprised: "Why didn't I see it? If you are really such a domineering person, how could the Shen family's grandparents and Sister Shen Bai like you? And my second brother, if he doesn't like you, he will definitely not allow me to associate with you? Shen Su, this is the first time I have seen someone slander himself like this, you really are-"
Shen Su smiled and said, "Maybe it's because I'm ugly? Everyone in the Shen family is good-looking, but I'm the only one who's different. Scarcity always makes things more valuable."
She couldn't continue speaking and started laughing.
Zhou Shuo pinched her face with a smile, and the two of them started to quarrel.
"Knock knock knock", someone knocked on the door. Zhou Shuo smiled and went to open the door. Standing outside was Mu En.
Zhou Shuo hadn't had time to hide the smile on his face. He was stunned when he saw him suddenly, and Mu En was also dazzled by Zhou Shuo's bright smile.
"Are you looking for me?" Shen Su also came to the door, and Zhou Shuo gave up his seat for her.
Mu En smiled and said, "My mother and Sister Song Nan put a lot of thought into inviting you to our home, but you're hiding here and talking privately with your sisters? Chen Su, give me some face and come down with me to see my mother."
Shen Su asked, "Are my mother and sister here?"
Mu En said, "Not yet. Let's go down and wait. Will my sister-in-law come with us?"
Shen Su pulled Zhou Shuo, “Of course, this is your home, you are the host, I am the guest, you have to accompany me all the time!”
Zhou Shuo was pulled by her and sighed: "Dear guest, you have a boyfriend with you, so please let me go."
Mu En said, "I didn't expect you two to have such a good relationship. It seems I don't have to worry about you two sisters-in-law not getting along in the future."
Shen Su rolled her eyes at him, "Who agreed to marry you? You're still on probation!"
Mu En smiled and said, "Okay, okay, it's a probation period, a probation period. Miss Chen Su, please be kind and let me become a regular employee as soon as possible!"
Zhou Shuo couldn't help but hesitate when he saw Mu En being so gentle and considerate. He seemed to be very attentive and sincere towards Chen Su, and it didn't seem like he was being false.
Could it be that they had misunderstood Mu En? Perhaps it was simply because Mrs. Mu was too partial to him, so they had misjudged Mu En?
Mu Ci listened to Gu Ming's explanation and analysis of the contract in his hand, nodded with satisfaction, and pointed out two deviations. Gu Ming hurriedly stood up and apologized: "I'm sorry, I didn't think it through."
Mu Ci said calmly, "No, it's just a matter of experience. It's already very good that you can reach this level now. Besides, I have something personal to tell you."
"Yes." Gu Ming stood straight and listened attentively.
"I heard that you and Miss Zhou were betrothed since childhood, but in fact the person you were betrothed to was my wife Zhou Shuo?" Mu Ci's tone was very flat, as if he was talking about something unrelated.
Gu Ming breathed a sigh of relief. He had been wondering how to explain this matter. If he didn't explain it, it might always be awkward, but if he explained it first, it would be too deliberate.
Now that Mu Ci asked first, it gave him a good opportunity.
"My mother and Madam Zhou were good friends. When I was one year old, Madam Zhou became pregnant, and the two families joked that if Madam Zhou gave birth to a girl, they would become in-laws when she grew up. Zhou Shuo was lost when he was two or three years old, and the Zhou family adopted Zhou Le. Zhou Le and I grew up together and were very close to each other. It had nothing to do with an arranged marriage."
"Ever since we were in high school, both families have been happy to see our relationship. As for Zhou Shuo's return, that had nothing to do with me. I couldn't possibly marry Zhou Shuo just because of a joke my parents made. The person I loved at the time was Zhou Le! Before I broke up with Zhou Le, this matter was made public. My parents went to the Zhou family to discuss it. Although Zhou Shuo is the Zhou family's biological daughter, the person I love is Zhou Le."
Gu Ming's tone was very calm. "I'm not familiar with Zhou Shuo. She only came back to the Zhou family for a month or two, and they locked her up and didn't allow her to see outsiders. She left the Zhou family after marrying you. I think the reason Zhou Le keeps mentioning this is because she had already planned to break up with me at that time and was just trying to find an excuse."
Mu Ci was very satisfied with Gu Ming's reaction and answer.
"That's good. You and Zhou Shuo will have many opportunities to interact in the future. I don't want you to feel awkward. Zhou Shuo grew up in a simple environment and her mind is relatively pure. Please pay more attention to her in the future." Mu Ci reminded.
"Yes, don't worry, I will do what I should do." Gu Ming felt relieved.
"I plan to leave the Mu family. You have to help me sort out everything related to the Mu family and clean it up as soon as possible. No matter who becomes the master of the Mu family in the future, my existence cannot affect the successor of the Mu family." Mu Ci gave Gu Ming a task.
Gu Ming was slightly surprised, then calmed down casually, "Okay, I understand."
Mu Ci put down the briefcase and said, "There's a private party at home today, so you should stay with me. Please help me find a house as soon as possible. It should be close to M University so that Zhou Shuo can go to school conveniently. It should also be near the sea. She grew up by the sea as a child and will love the sea."
"Do you want to move?" Gu Ming asked.
Mu Ci slid his wheelchair to the window, looked at the people dotted on the grass on the first floor, and said calmly, "They all like to come here, so let's move out and give this place to them."
Gu Ming said nothing, but stepped forward and pushed Mu Ci's wheelchair: "Mr. Mu, do you want to get off now?"
Mu Ci nodded, "Let's go down and take a look."
