"Oh, okay," Qiao Xia replied verbally, but her face showed complete blankness.
Mu San felt a sense of powerlessness, as if he had punched cotton.
In fact, Qiao Xia's unexpected arrival completely disrupted his plans. The third branch of the Mu family lived abroad for many years, but they still had their eyes on the Mu family.
In particular, that old codger actually tried to achieve immortality and was conducting human experiments under the ship's hull, all while using the Mu family's name.
In a normal fight, Mu San would have hundreds of ways to expel him from the Mu family, but in such cases, it's better to die. As for the other people on the ship, most of them were inextricably linked to his experiments, so dying on the ship wouldn't be a miscarriage of justice.
At that time, he only needs to guide public opinion slightly, and the focus of shareholders will not be entirely on the Mu family. He can also take back all the Qiao family assets that were allocated to them when the stock markets crash.
Although they have returned all the Qiao family assets they swallowed to him in order to distance themselves from him, not only is Third Master Mu still alive, but Mu Xiaogui is also still alive, which is really not good for him.
Qiao Xia couldn't understand a single word of Mu San's business acumen. Even though the person in front of her was very handsome, more handsome than most people she had ever seen, Qiao Xia inexplicably wanted to stay away from him.
On the contrary, Qiao Zhaoxing, listening to him pontificate about the stock market, had his previously suppressed restless heart rise again.
He couldn't help but strike up a conversation, "Looking at these stocks, which one will perform better in the next round?"
Upon hearing him speak, Mu San's eyebrows unconsciously rose, and then he calmly smiled, glanced at the tablet, and quickly selected a few items.
After a brief chat, Mu San quickly took his leave.
Before leaving, he sincerely offered advice: "With Mr. Qiao's financial resources, he could easily find a small listed company to backdoor list on the stock exchange."
"Many shareholders of Jusheng Company in the eastern suburbs want to transfer their shares. If I remember correctly, that place used to be the property of the Qiao family."
Watching Mu San leave in a large entourage of bodyguards, Qiao Xia asked in confusion, "They're leaving already? What was he doing here?"
Qiao Zhaoxing once again found himself immersed in the stock market. "Didn't he say he came to thank you?"
"Thank me empty-handed?" Qiao Zhaoxing and Qiao Xia exchanged a glance and were both stunned.

Lin Xie lagged half a step behind Mu San and reported the matter in a slow and unhurried manner, "Director Lin just called and said that Mu Xiaogui is making a scene in prison, demanding to see you. He means that this matter can be discussed at the table."
Mu San raised the corners of his mouth in a half-smile, his peach blossom eyes showing no trace of tenderness. "The third branch of the family has been living overseas for many years. Mu Xiaogui doesn't even have an entry record. What does his matter have to do with the Mu family?"
"Yes, I will contact the judicial authorities in Country M as soon as possible and ask them to extradite Young Master Mu back to China."
Mu San didn't say anything more, and Lin Xie understood that this meant he agreed.
Immediately afterwards, a huge bouquet of carnations was signed for by Lin Xie.
Mu San frowned. "What's going on?"
Lin Xie said respectfully, "It's not very polite to visit a patient empty-handed. This is a gift for Miss Qiao."
"Throw it away, I've already delivered the thank-you gift, haven't I?" Mu San waved his hand gently.
"You mean Jusheng..." Meeting Mu San's gaze, Lin Xie quickly shut his mouth, "I'll go now."
Having served as Mu San's assistant for so many years, Lin Xie believed he understood him quite well. Mu San had a sharp eye and would never let go of his prey once he set his sights on it.
But in the past few months, first the land in the suburbs went nowhere, and this time he handed over the promising Jusheng to someone else, which is really not in line with his usual style.
The only thing these two things have in common is that they both involve the Joe family.
This made Lin Xie recall Miss Qiao in the ward; even in a hospital gown, her beauty and vitality were undeniable.
The ladies of high society in City A, regardless of whether they admired Mr. Mu or not, would lose some of their confidence and become timid when they approached him. Miss Qiao was an exception, though, since no one else was an exception if Mr. Mu was interested in her.
But is Mr. Mu really the kind of person who would rather have a beautiful woman than an empire?
Although my thoughts were jumbled, they only lasted for a fleeting moment.
"Wait." Hearing the voice, Lin Xie quickly stopped and turned to face Mu San, ready to receive his orders.
Mu San's gaze lingered on the pink flower buds for two seconds. "Send them to Third Master."
"yes."
The next morning, three doctors surrounded Qiao Xia and earnestly advised her not to leave the hospital. After all, she had seven stitches in her head, and although the wound was close to her neck and not a critical area, she should still stay in the hospital for observation for a few more days.
Qiao Xia couldn't stay in bed any longer and insisted on being discharged, leaving the doctors with no choice.
Just as they finished packing and were leaving, they nearly bumped into Zhao Yuncheng, who was rushing to the ICU with a doctor.
Qiao Xia glared at him, displeased. "What's going on?"
Zhao Yuncheng left in a hurry after saying only one sentence.
"Is Third Master Mu allergic to pollen? The doctor even had someone bring flowers into the ward. That's so careless," Qiao Xia casually remarked.
Qiao Zhaoxing couldn't help but start recalling, "Third Master Mu was not allergic to pollen."
Qiao Zhaoxing thought about it carefully and nodded to himself with self-affirmation.
When he was young, the Qiao and Mu families had a good relationship. Because the Qiao family was small, Old Master Qiao often took him to visit the Mu family.
He knew about the older generation of the Mu family. For example, this Third Master Mu had been in poor health since childhood. Even at the age of thirty, when he was in his prime, his face was so pale that a gust of wind could blow him away.
At that time, he had little interest in business and, like Mu Xiaogui, kept his hair long to his shoulders. He would read books, tend to his flowers and plants, and his dress and behavior were those of a typical artistic youth.
Why would someone who enjoys tending to flowers and plants be allergic to them?
Qiao Zhaoxing put the question out of his mind, but on the way to the mountains, looking at the three stocks that Mu San had pointed out were soaring, a possibility suddenly occurred to him.
The scene from that day in the cabin reappeared before his eyes; he wanted to forget it, but his mind raced uncontrollably.
How could someone in their thirties who looks like they could die at any moment possibly live to seventy?
It's very likely that the parts of Grandpa Mu's body were replaced a long time ago, which explains why someone who wasn't allergic to pollen before suddenly became allergic.
The thought that an aged body might house incredibly young internal organs filled Qiao Zhaoxing with uncontrollable urges…
"Huff—"
Qiao Xia quickly punched him twice on the back; he had been in a bad mood ever since he saw the stock.
Qiao Xia comforted her, "It's okay. Even though you can't make money in the stock market, we can still collect rent, which is also a form of income for you."
Qiao Zhaoxing didn't know how to explain, so he just waved his hand and said, "I'm fine, I just get a little carsick."
