"Okay, Cui Nong, I’ll take all of what you’ve said to heart," Lin Guixiang was someone who listened to persuasion, and since Zhao Cuinong had put in so much effort, she naturally couldn’t let her down.
Seeing Lin Guixiang like this, Zhao Cuinong also felt much more at ease. She was really afraid that Lin Guixiang would stumble in love for a second time.
Mu Family.
Mu Baicheng discussed with Old Lady Mu about bringing Lin Guixiang to Capital City to meet the family.
Upon hearing that her son not only wanted to bring Lin Guixiang over for a visit but also was considering moving Mu Group’s headquarters from Capital City to Qing City, Old Lady Mu’s face turned very ugly.
Ridiculous!
Simply ridiculous.
Just for a woman, her son actually contemplated relocating the company.
It seemed that this woman really had some ability!
Otherwise, how could she have so enchanted Mu Baicheng?
Although she was very angry inside, Old Lady Mu didn’t show it and said with a smiling face, "Chengcheng, I was just planning to take a trip with Xiaoxiao. There are some home affairs that you’ll need to watch over. It won’t be too late to bring Miss Lin to Capital City once we return."
Mu Baicheng was stunned. "Mom, where are you and Xiaoxiao planning to go?"
Old Lady Mu’s expression remained unchanged. "Do you remember you have a cousin in Wancheng?"
A cousin in Wancheng?
Before Mu Baicheng could respond, Old Lady Mu continued, "I’ve been abroad for many years and haven’t been in touch with relatives from our hometown. Now that I still can travel, I’d like to visit them so I don’t forget my roots."
By the end, Old Lady Mu couldn’t help but sigh.
Mu Baicheng had always been a filial and good son; naturally, he wouldn’t oppose his mother’s wish to visit those old sisters.
"Okay, I’ll wait for you at home." Having said that, Mu Baicheng added, "Mom, why don’t I accompany you? Xiaoxiao is still young and rather clumsy."
Old Lady Mu chuckled, "You accompanying me? Would that be convenient for you, a big man? Let Xiaoxiao keep me company instead. It’s also a good opportunity for me to travel around, take a walk outside, and appreciate the beautiful landscapes of our motherland."
Mu Baicheng thought his mother made quite a bit of sense. After all, he was a man, and it wouldn’t be quite appropriate for him to accompany his mother.
Just then, the sound of a ringing phone filled the air.
Mu Baicheng took out his cell phone. "Hello?" ƒrēewebnovel.com
"Is this Brother Baicheng?" It was Zheng Niannian’s voice on the other end.
"It’s me." Mu Baicheng hadn’t expected Zheng Niannian to call him. "Miss Zheng, what can I do for you?"
Zheng Niannian continued, "The light bulb in my house seems to be broken. Could you come over and help me fix it?"
Before Mu Baicheng could refuse, Old Lady Mu snatched the phone away. "Of course, of course, don’t worry Niannian. I’ll send Chengcheng over right away."
With that, Old Lady Mu hung up the phone, not giving Mu Baicheng a chance to refuse.
Mu Baicheng looked at Old Lady Mu with a speechless expression, "Mom, what are you doing? You know very well that I already..."
"You already what? You can’t socialize normally just because you’re dating someone?" Old Lady Mu bore down on him aggressively. "If fixing a light bulb for Niannian makes your girlfriend angry, then I advise you to break up with her sooner rather than later! A woman of such little magnanimity isn’t worth it. If you two really get married, you’ll be the one suffering."
Mu Baicheng explained, "It’s not that I’m afraid Guixiang will get angry; I’m worried about giving Miss Zheng the wrong impression. After all, I already have a girlfriend. Wouldn’t that be leading her on?"
"Zheng Niannian having the wrong impression? What’s there for Niannian to misunderstand? She’s so beautiful and surely won’t have a problem finding a husband, so why would she set her sights on you? Chengcheng! I remember you used to be quite helpful, so why have you changed after getting into a relationship?"
Hearing this, the anger in Mu Baicheng’s face subsided a bit. "Mom, I think someone else could handle changing a light bulb; there’s no need for me to go."
Old Lady Mu sighed, "Actually, Niannian is quite a unfortunate girl. Since that man from the Wang Family left, neither her husband’s family nor her own family looks kindly on her; they say she brings bad luck to her husband. If it weren’t for her own abilities and talents, she probably would have starved to death by now. I feel a connection with this child; she reminds me of your sister. Do you think she’s asking you to help her change a light bulb? She just wants to be friends with you. Chengcheng, being in a relationship doesn’t prevent you from making friends, right? Plus, I’ve already promised her. If you don’t go, it will make her feel like we’re looking down on her."
At the end of her speech, Old Lady Mu tugged at Mu Baicheng’s sleeve, "Chengcheng, I have never asked you for much. Can’t you agree to this for me?"
Mu Baicheng thought his mother had a point.
Dating is dating; friendship is friendship.
The two should not be confused.
Besides, his mother got along with Zheng Niannian, so helping her replace a light bulb was a small matter.
With this in mind, Mu Baicheng looked at Old Lady Mu, "Okay, I’ll go right away."
Hearing this, Old Lady Mu breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "Go on then."
No sooner had Mu Baicheng left than Mu Xiaoxiao arrived. "Grandma, did you tell my dad? When can we set off for Qing City?"
Old Lady Mu’s plan to visit distant relatives was a decoy.
The real purpose was to go to Qing City to find Lin Guixiang.
