"Oh, I just remembered, didn't you ask me before if I knew anyone with the surname Shi?"
"......."
Mu Yiran could no longer hear what Mo Mumu was saying after that.
She said something felt off!
It turns out it was Shi Youxi!
This guy actually ran right up to Mo Mumu!
Mu Yiran said directly to Mo Mumu, "I'm coming to find you," and then hung up the phone.
Since Shi Youxi was able to find her, he must know about her interpersonal relationships. Why did he suddenly go to Wenxin and buy Mo Mumu's shares? Is he doing this to expand Shiye's business? Mu Yiran doesn't believe it!
Moreover, he didn't mention it at all, only telling her he was handling official business, but he didn't mention that it was with Mo Mumu. Why was he deliberately hiding it?
Mu Yiran inevitably thought of Candice. Two months ago, she left London in a hurry, and only after she recovered did she remember this enthusiastic British boy. At that time, Mu Yiran only wanted to return to a normal life and start over, so she gave up the idea of recognizing him.
Shi Youxi had tried so many tricks to keep Candice from getting her back. Now that they were married, was he still worried and wanted to use the same old tricks to keep her tied down again?
Mu Yiran couldn't help but overthink, after all, Shi Youxi had a criminal record!
She rushed to Wenxin's building, where someone was already waiting for her—Mo Mumu's assistant.
At the same moment, Wen Qingyu was coming out of the elevator. She was wearing sunglasses and accompanied by Wen Xin's team. After saying a polite goodbye to them, she turned around and pulled off the fake smile.
"Qingyu, your phone has been ringing for a while now—" Before the assistant could even react, her palm stung, leaving several scratches, and the phone was snatched away by Wen Qingyu.
Wen Qingyu rolled her eyes at her, "You're so slow and dawdling. If it weren't for the fact that you're my junior, I would have fired you long ago... Hey Mom? Didn't I say I was coming to Wenxin to sign the contract today? Why are you calling me all the time?"
"Didn't I tell you, your dad's having surgery today! You didn't even come to show up! How are you going to ask your dad for pocket money now!"
“The match was successful, and the doctor said the surgery wasn’t 80% successful! It’s not like it’s a critical surgery that I have to go. Besides, I don’t need him to give me pocket money! Lu Tingyi will give me money, isn’t that enough?”
Wen Qingyu walked slowly out of the lobby with her arms crossed, not forgetting to smile at the front desk staff.
"You! If you're so interested, you should be cultivating your relationship with Tingyi. Why didn't you go with him on his business trip? Did you two have another fight?"
Wen Qingyu got angry when she talked about this. "It's his fault for not buying me a gift. It's just a diamond. He said he wanted to celebrate the establishment of my studio, but he couldn't even afford a diamond."
Outside the operating room, Su Tian coaxed him gently, "Alright, alright, that's not a small amount of money after all. His company just went public, so he's a little short on cash. You should understand. I'm just reminding you to hold on tight to him. The group's funds are coming in recently, and several projects have been finalized. I think things are going quite smoothly lately. You should take advantage of this opportunity to get Tingyi to propose to you. While the Wen family still has some resources, you can take the chance to get more dowry from your father, so he won't spend all his money on other women."
Su Tian didn't tell her about drugging Mu Yiran at the banquet a couple of days ago. Anyway, she had already received the funds and money that the Shi family had promised, and she didn't need her daughter to know about those underhanded things.
Su Tian only wanted her daughter to marry into a good family as soon as possible, so that if the Wen family were to face another crisis and collapse completely, she would at least have her daughter as a support.
It's just that Mu Yiran got a good deal, getting into that Shi family's bed... But then she thought about it again, everyone says that person is ruthless and perverted, a mentally ill person with perverted fetishes... Even if she were given more money, she wouldn't want her daughter to serve him.
Mu Yiran doesn't actually bear the surname Mu, and without her distinguished family background, the Shi family man probably only plays around with her and won't really take her into his home.
Thinking about it this way, Su Tian felt better, and she gave her daughter a few more words of advice.
Wen Qingyu answered absentmindedly and hung up. As she was about to get into the car in her high heels, a familiar figure suddenly caught her eye. She looked closely and exclaimed, "Isn't that Mu Yiran... How could she be here?"
Mu Yiran's figure disappeared into the elevator, and Wen Qingyu shifted her gaze to the car Mu Yiran got out of.
My gaze was fixed on the ostentatious license plate, "京·A".
The CEO's office is on the 45th floor.
"Miss Mu, Mr. Mo will be here a little while. Shall I take you to his office to wait?" the assistant asked, leading the group.
"Where is she now?" Mu Yiran looked around.
The assistant didn't think much of it. "It's in the conference room at the end. Ms. Mu, please wait here for a moment. I'll go get you some snacks—oh?"
The assistant opened the door and turned around, but the person behind him was already gone.
Mu Yiran headed towards the conference room. She didn't intend to barge in, but as soon as she turned the corner in the corridor, she heard Mo Mumu's voice. She was standing at the conference room door, talking to a tall figure inside.
"It's a pleasure to work with Mr. Shi this time. I wonder if you have the time to give me a tour of the company—"
"Mu Mu!" Mu Yi Ran's mind went blank, and she blurted out her name.
Mo Mumu clearly hadn't expected her to come over directly. She politely gestured to the man inside the door and walked towards her. "Didn't I tell you to wait for me in my office? It'll be ready soon. You can go inside and wait here."
Mu Yiran listened intently, but her eyes were fixed on what was behind Mo Mumu; the people in the conference room had already come out.
The man, dressed in a smoky gray suit, casually strolled with one hand in his pocket. His bangs were swept back, and he wore no tie, with a few stray hairs framing his forehead. Shi Youxi's sharp aura was undeniable, and his narrow, phoenix-shaped eyes added to his coldness. He possessed a superiority that Mu Yiran had never felt from him before. The people surrounding him were all fawning over him, but he was used to it and remained in the middle with leeway. Perhaps he already knew she would come, for his gaze met Mu Yiran's directly without any attempt to hide.
Mu Yiran rarely looked up at Shi Youxi like this, perhaps never. The Shi Youxi she had faced in the past was more often kneeling on her lap, always looking up at her. His bangs would fall to cover his thin, sharp upper eyelids, his eyes wide and raised, making him appear very obedient. He would always coax her and trick her into agreeing to anything, just like last night...
The sound of leather shoes on the tiles grew louder and louder. Mu Yiran suddenly came to her senses and saw that Shi Youxi was already a few steps away. He seemed to be very curious about her purpose in coming, wanting to watch the excitement, yet he was strolling leisurely, confident that the good show in front of him would not be over.
What on earth is this bastard trying to do?!
"Hey! Mu Yiran!" Mo Mumu called to her in a low voice, "Hurry up and get back to me—"
Mu Yiran gritted her teeth: "I want to visit too!"
Mo Mumu was taken aback: "Huh?"
Before she could react, a voice came softly from behind her, "Then let's go together."
Mu Yiran frantically gave Shi Youxi meaningful glances, which Shi Youxi understood, and replied haphazardly, "This person is also a guest of President Mo, right? Since he is interested, he shouldn't mind traveling together, right?"
Shi Youxi glanced at his watch, pretending to be in a hurry. "My wife is waiting for me to get back."
