Mu Yuancheng's thoughts became chaotic.
The bad feeling came rushing in like a torrent.
Panic is spreading little by little!
Deep in his memory, his wife Gu Mei was a formidable figure, known for her swift and decisive methods.
In his youth, he repeatedly failed in his entrepreneurial ventures.
When he was at his lowest point in his youth, he met Gu Mei, who stayed by his side through his most difficult time.
The two joined hands to establish the Mu Group, and in just a few years, they brought the Mu Group to its peak.
If she hadn't suddenly died of illness back then, how could the Mu family, which they had worked so hard for together, have fallen into his hands so easily?
Thanks to that person... Gu Mei died suddenly from her illness!
That's how he was able to enjoy wealth and luxury for so many years.
only!
I've always felt there's something strange about it that I can't quite put my finger on.
Strangely enough, both Gu Mei and Mu Qian seemed vaguely familiar...
"What does Mom mean? Is she declaring war on you?"
Mu Silian didn't notice Mu Yuancheng's strange behavior. She watched Gu Mei's departing figure with a hint of hostility in her eyes.
What is Gu Mei anyway?
Why are you giving her attitude?
Mu Yuancheng snapped out of his shock, his sharp eyes landing on Mu Silian. "Did you say something to Gu Mei?"
He wished he could just stab her with his eyes.
Suddenly suspected, Mu Silian flew into a rage, "I didn't! How could I possibly say anything to that woman Gu Mei?"
What a despicable double standard.
She can do whatever she wants; if others dare to doubt her, then it's their fault.
"You really don't?" Mu Yuancheng was clearly not convinced.
"I told you, I didn't!" Mu Silian emphasized.
I became extremely upset.
What kind of brain does that old geezer have?!
If she really tells that woman Gu Mei, does he think he can still get away with it?
They've been skinned alive for who knows how many times.
"Then... why does Gu Mei hate the two of us?" Mu Yuancheng was extremely puzzled.
I can understand hating Mu Silian, but why do I feel like I hate him even more?
Therefore, the only explanation is...
I can't think of any other reason besides Mu Silian telling on me.
"What else could it be? It must be that Mu Qian gossiped about Gu Mei." Mu Silian explained logically, "Gu Mei is overflowing with maternal love, and everyone except Mu Qian is an enemy."
"Women are easily swayed by others' words, and Gu Mei is overflowing with maternal love."
I never think there's anything wrong with putting a bad label on someone else.
If there's anything wrong with them, it's that they all made her uncomfortable!
Mu Yuancheng felt that Mu Silian's explanation made sense.
Every woman has a maternal side, and Gu Mei is no exception.
"That would be best."
His mind was in complete turmoil; he couldn't find a clear point to tell him what the truth of the matter should be.
A delirious voice echoed in my mind: Who exactly is Gu Mei?
Seeing that Mu Yuancheng was being manipulated by her, Mu Silian's eyes suddenly darkened. "But you, we agreed on a cooperative relationship, yet you actually had Mu Qian call Master Yan to humiliate me?"
"Is this what you call helping me?"
A woman full of scheming is most likely to hold a grudge.
Even if the other party did nothing wrong, the responsibility still lies entirely with them.
"You can speak with a clear conscience. It's not that I don't want to help you with Long Jingyan's matter; it's just that he doesn't want you at all," Mu Yuancheng said truthfully.
Everyone heard the phone call clearly just now.
"What do you mean!" Mu Silian's eyes were bloodshot with anger. "I've said it before, if I can't have something, I'll just die with it."
If things fall apart, nobody will benefit.
She's just a worthless person; let's see who can outmaneuver whom.
Mu Yuancheng's face immediately turned ugly. "Mu Silian, how dare you!"
"Do you think I dare?" Mu Silian sneered, looking like a dead pig that wasn't afraid of boiling water.
Mu Yuancheng was also in a bad mood, his face was extremely ugly, and he relented, "I will definitely help you fulfill my promise."
He paused for a moment, then said, "There are still some resources, which I have already asked Su Qing to negotiate."
"Once your popularity rises, do you think Long Jingyan won't come to you to sign a contract?"
"Isn't Mu Qian signed because of her sudden surge in popularity?"
Having just arrived in this world, Mu Yuancheng didn't dare to make too many moves.
It takes time to adapt before you can plan each step well.
In the end of his previous life, he discovered that he had been infected with a terminal virus, and was gradually fading away under its torment.
If it weren't for Fifth Master, he probably wouldn't have had the chance to be reborn.
In this lifetime, no one can use his life as leverage anymore.
"Okay, I'll wait for your good news."
Mu Silian's ambition was impossible to hide in her eyes, and a charming smile appeared on her lips.
Anything related to boosting popularity or enhancing the female lead's aura can always bewitch people.
He left with an arrogant back view.
Watching Mu Silian's departing figure, Mu Yuancheng's smile grew increasingly sinister.
How could he be so easily manipulated?
*
A gentle southerly wind.
This unassuming, home-style restaurant requires advance reservations even outside of holidays.
Gu Mei had booked a private room in advance.
Although she has only been in this world for a short time, she has quickly come to understand it.
Based on the original owner's memories, he knew Mu Qian's tastes clearly.
Compared to Mu Yuancheng, she was several times more adaptable.
No wonder he was one of Fu Liangping's most promising students back in Base No. 9.
If Gu Mei hadn't been so love-struck back then, and hadn't ignored advice and insisted on leaving Base Nine to marry Mu Yuancheng...
She will likely surpass Fu Liangping and become the most authoritative leader of Base Nine.
Unfortunately, she suddenly fell ill and died.
If Fu Liangping hadn't promptly withdrawn her brainwaves, she would have had no chance of being reborn.
"Mom is so amazing, how did you find out the location of this treasure so quickly?" Mu Qian smiled gently and naturally pulled out a chair for Gu Mei to sit down.
Her words couldn't hide the praise she held for her formidable mother, whom she remembered.
I never imagined I would have the chance to see my mother again in this lifetime.
The joy that couldn't be hidden in her eyes spread from the corners of her eyes.
Gu Mei pulled Mu Qian's hand and made her sit down as well.
Those eyes, brimming with experience, couldn't suppress the surging excitement within them. "I never imagined that my daughter and I would have the chance to meet again."
I still remember when I left that year, Qianqian was only 10 years old.
If I hadn't contracted the virus, I would definitely have been able to accompany Qianqian as she grew up, watching her gradually become a young woman.
But an accident separated the mother and daughter.
The longing has never diminished in the slightest with the passage of time.
Mu Qian's eyes shone with endless light, and she couldn't help but hug Gu Mei, "Mom."
I've called out for my mother countless times in my dreams, but the only response I ever get is the sound of the wind brushing past my ears.
“Yes,” Gu Mei replied gently.
Mu Qian called out "Mom" over and over again.
Gu Mei responded patiently again and again, a wave of bittersweet emotion rising in her throat.
"Qianqian, tell me quickly, how did you come into this world?"
"Teacher Fu, is he... not good to you?"
The recognition through the spatial rings happened too hastily.
We haven't had time to sit down and have a proper chat yet.
Gu Mei couldn't understand why Mu Qian had come to this virtual world.
In her previous life, everything she did was to protect Qianqian.
From the moment she was born, Qianqian was destined for greatness.
