Seeing her son still acting as he pleased, Mu's mother gave up trying to intervene. After all, the man surnamed Wen wasn't a threat. "Then you should be more measured in what you do," she said, and went upstairs.
Mu Hengshi thought about what Song Qingmo had said to him today. Although Wen Zhiling was restless, he could indeed attract Song Qingmo's attention. After thinking it over again and again, Mu Hengshi decided to keep Wen Zhiling for the time being. If he wanted money, he would give it to him, but if he coveted the power of the Mu family, he would never show mercy.
Seeing Song Qingmo running back home breathlessly, Mother Song asked him with amusement, "Hey, what happened to Xiaomo? Did a dog chase you? You're running like this."
Song Qingmo was too exhausted to talk to his mother. After catching his breath for a while, Song Qingmo finally recovered. "Mom, have you eaten yet? I'm hungry."
Song's mother looked at her son like a puppy, eagerly asking if he was ready to eat. She was a little happy and said, "There's still some food in the kitchen. You can make do with it for now and eat well when your father comes back."
Song Qingmo was overjoyed to hear there was food in the kitchen. He'd used up so much energy today. "Okay, I'll go get the food later. Now I'll get the book and read while I eat."

Song Qingmo's face was bitter. "Mom, do you understand how I feel? Ever since I was in the same school with Mu Heng, I've never been ranked first in the exams. I've always been surpassed by him. How could I possibly accept this? Every time I think of that guy waving his report card in front of me with a nonchalant look on his face, I want to beat him to death."
"Okay, he did well on the test, why are you so angry? Second place isn't bad either."
"No, I also want to experience the feeling of being number one." Song Qingmo covered his face with the book and said rather unconvincedly.
Song's mother let him go. Mu Hengshi was simply a stimulant for her son's struggle. Whether in study or business, her son always wanted to compete with the boy from the Mu family. In the end, he was always beaten by others. However, it is undeniable that Xiaomo is indeed becoming more and more outstanding.
