"Strange uncle, thank you." Once you've done it once, you'll get used to it. Mu Yao wasn't as wary as before, and she even started calling Xie Wei "Uncle."
Hearing this title, Xie Wei didn't know how to describe it. He was somewhat pleased that it put him and Mu Qingcheng on the same level, but it was a little funny that Xie Wei, who was only in his twenties, was being called "uncle".
"Uncle, you don't actually like me, do you?" Before Xie Wei could speak, Mu Yao blurted out a shocking question, which even made Xie Wei's eyebrows jump in surprise.
"Otherwise, why would you be there whenever I needed help?" Mu Yao smoothed her hair and looked at Xie Wei.
"Hmm, the uncle is quite handsome, rich, and seems to have a decent character. If he really puts his heart into pursuing me, I wouldn't mind..." Although he said this, the expression on his face was not as frivolous as his words, as if he was just joking.
Before he could finish speaking, Xie tapped his forehead with his finger.
"What are you thinking about all day, little girl? Your mother and I are old acquaintances. I even held you when you were little. Don't you remember?" Xie Wei joked.
"Xie Wei, that's my name. Just call me Uncle Xie Wei." The title Uncle Xie Wei has multiple meanings, and only Xie Wei himself knows which one.
"Huh?" Hearing the name Xie Wei, Mu Yao realized what the familiar feeling she had felt earlier was. She had indeed seen information about Xie Wei on the living room table before, and Mu Qingcheng had also shown Mu Yao news reports and videos about Xie Wei. Mu Yao had seen so many of these reports that she had that familiar feeling.
Mu Yao never cared about those things. Thinking about it this way, the person in front of her might indeed need to cooperate with her mother, and her mother was still considering it. Mu Yao lowered her guard a little.
In fact, Mu Yao's words just now were all a test for Xie Wei. She never believed in any inexplicable goodwill; her purpose was always self-interest.
But I seem to have seen the name Xie Wei not only from my mother, but also in other places, though I don’t quite remember.
"What? You really believe I held you when you were little?" Xie Wei saw that Mu Yao was silent and thought that the little girl was seriously recalling things from her childhood and trying to remember Xie Wei.
"Uncle, are you trying to get in touch with my mother through me?" Mu Yao ignored Xie Wei's words and voiced her thoughts, "Then I advise you to give up on that idea. I won't speak up for you."
"Hmm?" Xie Wei pondered the meaning behind Mu Yao's words, realizing that the little girl had misunderstood. A smile played in his eyes as he replied, "Alright, alright, Uncle understands."
Hearing Xie Wei's answer, Mu Yao was somewhat skeptical, but she nodded and said nothing more.
Xie Wei glanced at Mu Yao sitting in the passenger seat, her face full of disbelief, yet she still nodded, her smile deepening.
"Where are you going, young lady Mu Yao, dressed so beautifully today?"
"Beautiful?" Mu Yao looked at Xie Wei with some doubt. Apart from Mu Qingcheng's doting on her, she could do almost anything as long as she was happy, within reasonable limits.
Most people wouldn't find her clothes strange, and would be lucky to keep their distance. Xie Wei is the only outsider who would say she looks beautiful.
"Hmm, it's very pretty. Is there a problem?" While waiting at the traffic light, Xie Wei turned to look at Mu Yao.
Mu Yao, the "smooth-talking uncle," could see the sincerity in Xie Wei's eyes. Although she said that, she couldn't suppress the smile on her face.
"I'm still a student, you know. It would be illegal for you to do that, uncle." It was clear that Mu Yao was in a good mood at the moment and had the mind to tease Xie Wei.
The atmosphere in the car relaxed a bit as the girl's guard lowered. Listening to her words, Xie Wei smiled faintly, his eyebrows arching.
"If you don't tell me where you're going, I'll take you home, tie you up, and threaten your mother into agreeing to cooperate with me."
"You..." Mu Yao thought of a rebuttal and glared at Xie Wei, but when she saw the smile on Xie Wei's face, she instantly realized that Xie Wei was joking.
He crossed his arms in annoyance, turned his head to the window, and refused to look at Xie Wei's face.
"Where are you taking me?" Mu Yao asked, pretending not to know, as she saw the familiar streets and scenery, clearly the way home.
"Your home?" Xie Wei understood that the girl's guard was up again, so he told her the destination very directly.
"You...you...you..." Mu Yao looked at Xie Wei in disbelief. Generally speaking, as a business partner, Xie Wei would never know where her home was. And in China, investigating an official's information without authorization would result in being arrested and taken back for questioning.
Given that the security guard in the villa area opened the door to Xie Wei's car directly, suggesting that Xie Wei is a frequent visitor, there is only one possibility that Xie Wei knows Mu Yao's address: his mother, Mu Qingcheng, told him.
Mu Yao was a little dumbfounded by her own deduction. Didn't that mean that what Xie Wei said at the beginning might be true, and what he said later was just to cooperate with her, like coaxing a child?
By the time Xie Wei came to his senses, the car had already arrived at the parking area of Mu Qingcheng's villa, so he opened the car door and got out.
Mu Yao also got out of the car with Xie Wei, and walked side by side with him with her head down.
"You...do you really know my mother?" he said uncertainly, his initial guess wavering. "You don't know I won't say good things about you to my mother, so you're trying to take credit for yourself, do you?"
Xie Wei smiled without saying a word, walked to the door, and pressed the doorbell.
Half a minute later, the door opened. It was Sunday, and Mu Qingcheng was wearing pink and white pajamas, her hair tied up on her shoulders with a headband.
