Reflecting on this, Mu Baicheng continued, "Xiaodong, I believe your Aunt Lin."
He didn’t believe his mother would joke about her health, nor did he believe Lin Guixiang was the cause of his mother’s hospitalization.
His mother might indeed be facing health issues, but it certainly wasn’t caused by Lin Guixiang.
Mu Xiaodong looked at Mu Baicheng, "Since you believe in Aunt Mu, the first thing to do is to calm Aunt Mu’s emotions."
Mu Baicheng nodded, feeling his son was right, and immediately took out his mobile phone, "I will call your Aunt Lin right now."
Seeing Mu Baicheng do this, Mu Xiaodong couldn’t help but speak up, "Dad, that’s not right."
"Which part?" Mu Baicheng was somewhat unable to comprehend the meaning of his son’s words.
Mu Xiaodong was careful with his words, then said, "If you have really decided to be with Aunt Lin, you must make changes, have your own opinions on matters of the heart, and not just listen to what others say."
In business, Mu Baicheng was clearly a decisive, no-nonsense person.
But when it came to relationships, he was indeed indecisive and lacked his own opinions.
Otherwise,
more than twenty years ago, Mu Baicheng would not have married his first wife.
After all, back then, he didn’t have much affection for his first wife.
After his first wife died, his years of remaining unmarried were not out of nostalgia for her, but because he hadn’t met someone who truly moved him.
Addressing this, Mu Xiaodong changed his tone, "Just like the issue just now, I merely voiced my one-sided thoughts, and you thought I was correct and decided to call Aunt Lin immediately. But what if I had expressed it differently? If I said that everything was caused by Aunt Lin, that she was disrespectful to grandma, and thus grandma ended up in the hospital, what would you do then? After all, I don’t know Aunt Lin, and I don’t know what kind of person she is."
Bystanders could only offer Mu Baicheng advice, and not make decisions for him.
"If I hadn’t spoken in favor of Aunt Lin just now, but instead sided with grandma and the others, how would you handle this situation? Would you call to confront Aunt Lin?" Mu Xiaodong continued.
Mu Baicheng was silent for a while, saying nothing.
Seeing his father like this, Mu Xiaodong spoke again, "Dad, if you really love Aunt Lin, you must align with her, and not be influenced by grandma. Can you understand this?"
"Mm," Mu Baicheng nodded.
Mu Baicheng sighed in relief, "Then please handle the next steps, and let me know if you need help with anything."
"Okay."
Mu Xiaodong turned and went back into the room.
Mu Baicheng found a quiet place to call Lin Guixiang.
Lin Guixiang picked up the phone quickly on the other end.
"Hello, Ah Xiang."
"Mm." Lin Guixiang’s voice sounded not much different from usual.
Mu Baicheng gathered his thoughts, then spoke, "Ah Xiang, I’ve heard about my mother’s situation. I’m so sorry, I didn’t know she would suddenly come to see you... and cause you such great trouble."
"Then how do you plan on handling this?" Lin Guixiang immediately asked.
"Ah Xiang, can you tell me what exactly happened between you and my mom?"
Lin Guixiang pressed her temples, "Some things are not clear over the phone, do you have time to come to Qing City?"
"I’ve already bought the ticket," Mu Baicheng said.
Lin Guixiang nodded slightly, "Then let’s talk when you arrive."
"All right."
Lin Guixiang then said, "Then I’ll hang up now."
Today, she really wasn’t in the mood to chat leisurely with Mu Baicheng.
Looking at the disconnected call, Mu Baicheng couldn’t quite describe the feeling on his face.
He and Lin Guixiang usually had endless topics to talk about whenever they called each other.
But today...
But now, Mu Baicheng couldn’t think too much about that, as the most important thing was to head to Qing City.
Mu Baicheng had someone bring over his suitcase and began packing his clothes.
Just as he finished packing, the Butler came over, "Sir, Miss Zheng has arrived."
Miss Zheng?
Mu Baicheng frowned slightly, what did Zheng Niannian want?
Mu Baicheng followed the Butler downstairs.
Upon seeing him come down, Zheng Niannian immediately came forward, "Brother Baicheng, I heard that Aunt Mu suddenly fell ill while touring in Qing City, are you going to Qing City overnight?"
"Mm," Mu Baicheng nodded.
Zheng Niannian continued, "How is Aunt Mu doing? I just spoke to Xiaoxiao on the phone, and the child sounded quite anxious. She hung up after a few words."
"I’m not quite sure about my mother’s condition myself. I’ll know more once I’m there," Mu Baicheng said.
