"Yes," Mu Baicheng nodded.
Mother Zhao squinted her eyes and said, "If our Guixiang were to proceed to discussing marriage with you, would your two children treat her poorly?"
Being a stepmother is tough.
Mother Zhao had already started worrying about Lin Guixiang’s future path.
If she were Lin Guixiang, she would definitely not want to be a stepmother.
Mu Baicheng said, "Auntie Zhao, rest assured, my son and daughter are both very sensible, and Ah Xiang is so outstanding, they will definitely accept Ah Xiang."
Mu Baicheng did not dare to guarantee other things, but he dared to guarantee this, given that Mu Xiaoxiao and Mu Xiaodong were both highly educated.
Mother Zhao then asked, "Do they oppose you finding someone new? As far as I know, the wealthier the family, the more the children worry about their single father finding new love, because they fear it might lead to more people claiming the inheritance."
At this point, Mother Zhao paused, "Our Guixiang has money, beauty, and figure, but she can’t tolerate this kind of disrespect!"
It’s best to speak unpleasant truths upfront.
Lin Guixiang had lost her mother at a young age, and some things were difficult for her to mention, being her elder, she naturally couldn’t ignore it.
Mu Baicheng promptly said, "My son and daughter do not oppose me finding someone new, please rest assured, as long as I am here, no one in the Mu Family will make Ah Xiang suffer."
For today’s meeting, and in order to gain the Lin Family’s approval, Mu Baicheng had done a lot of homework, and his words were impeccably cautious.
After a whole conversation, Mother Zhao seemed quite satisfied and nodded.
...
It was not until six o’clock in the afternoon that Mu Baicheng returned to the 26th floor.
Since last night, he had been on edge, and now that he had successfully completed his mission, he slumped on the sofa like a deflated balloon, more exhausted than after negotiating a contract worth several billion.
Ten minutes later, he made a call to Lin Guixiang.
"Ah Xiang, are you available to talk right now?" fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm
Lin Guixiang was practicing yoga in her bedroom, "I’m available, go ahead."
Mu Baicheng continued, "How did your family feel about me today?"
"Not too good," Lin Guixiang sighed.
Hearing this, Mu Baicheng turned pale and stood up from the sofa, "Why? Did I do something wrong?"
Seeing his voice change, Lin Guixiang then said with a laugh, "Okay, okay, don’t be nervous, I was just teasing you."
At this point, Lin Guixiang paused, "My family actually has a very good impression of you, Old Mu comrade, remember to keep it up."
It was just a false alarm then!
Mu Baicheng let out a deep breath, "Ah Xiang, you really scared me to death."
The serious tone Lin Guixiang had just used had indeed made him think he had been lacking in some way.
Lin Guixiang laughed and said, "What time is your flight tomorrow? I’ll take you to the airport."
"It’s at nine o’clock tomorrow morning, too early, you sleep in, I’ll have the driver take me."
One needs to arrive at the airport two hours early, for a nine o’clock flight they would need to leave at 6:30 AM, meaning getting up around five to get ready.
"No problem, I need to get up for my workout anyway."
The couple chatted sporadically, like any couple deeply in love, unable to hang up the phone, wrapped up in each other’s words.
Meanwhile.
Capital City.
Mu Xiaoxiao came to Old Lady Mu’s bedroom, knocked on the door, "Grandma, are you asleep yet?"
"Not yet, come in Xiaoxiao."
Upon hearing this, Mu Xiaoxiao entered the room.
Old Lady Mu took off her reading glasses, placed the documents she was holding on the bedside table, and said, "Xiaoxiao, it’s so late, what’s up?"
Mu Xiaoxiao continued, "Dad is arriving home tomorrow at noon, have you arranged everything with Third Miss Zheng of the Zheng Family?"
