Lin Xuyang also liked her gentle and considerate nature. Lin's mother was a strong-willed person, and he felt a sense of conquest from Bai Shuangjiang.
Mu Wanqing is also gentle, but she carries an inherent arrogance of a rich heiress and would never lower herself to please him like Bai Shuangjiang.
So his heart immediately turned in that direction, and the Mu family's wealth became the trigger that led him to commit crimes.
Lin Xuyang tidied himself up and walked out with an elegant air, showing no trace of his previous dishevelment.
Xiao Li contacted Wu Qifan, the professional manager hired by the company. This agent is quite conscientious; otherwise, Lin Xuyang wouldn't have taken ten years to bring the Mu family business under his control.
She went to the company in person and talked with Manager Wu for an afternoon about the company's future development direction.
After a key reminder about future collaborative projects with the Lin Group, the two reached an agreement, and Xiao Li returned home satisfied.
Her shares in this world are more than enough for her and Mu Wanqing to live on; it's also a retirement world, which she likes very much.
"Mom, have you thought about doing something? It gets really boring staying at home every day."
Xiao Li looked at Mu Wanqing with some surprise. Something was off about this girl. She was quite filial, but she didn't know how to arrange her mother's life.
"It's alright, this is how it will be for the rest of my life, I'm used to it."
Being a socialite can be quite tiring. Maintaining relationships with other socialites, selecting various luxury goods and jewelry, and managing all household affairs all require a lot of energy.
Some people say, "What's so tiring about this? Think about it, everyone else is dressed in the latest fashions, and you're dressed plainly. Won't people laugh at you and your husband?"
Afternoon tea was also a way for ladies of high society to connect and exchange information.
However, now that Chairman Mu is gone, she will only receive dividends and will have more free time. She can just attend some circle activities and will no longer need to attend business parties.
"Mom, I think there are many fun places abroad. Why don't you go on a trip and relax?"
Xiao Li found it even stranger.
"Tongzi, have you noticed anything strange about Mu Wanqing?"
After scanning her thoroughly, 123 exclaimed in surprise, "Master, she possesses the power of time and space; she has been reborn."
As expected, Xiao Li felt a sudden pang of heartache. This girl was so young. She had just lost her father and was now burdened with the hatred of losing her mother and being imprisoned for ten years. How much hatred must she feel?
But in front of her mother, she has to pretend to be a good girl and act like nothing happened, which is really tough on her.
Xiao Li pulled her into her arms and gently stroked her back. "I'll do whatever you say. You can make the arrangements."
At this moment, Xiao Li decided to act impulsively and leave everything to Mu Wanqing. She should take revenge herself, vent her hatred, and then she would smooth over the consequences herself.
She wants to protect Mu Wanqing; this is the original owner's wish, and it's the only thing she can do for Mu Wanqing now.
Mu Wanqing hugged her mother's waist, which was still as soft and warm as she remembered.
It's been so long, Mom. In this life, I will protect you and never let you suffer any harm.
Xiao Li boarded a plane bound for overseas, while Mu Wanqing didn't leave until the plane took off. Now, it was time for her to take her revenge.
However, after getting off the plane, Xiaoli immediately bought a ticket back to China, and only a dozen hours later, she returned to the place where she boarded the plane the day before.
She first booked a presidential suite at a hotel, prepaid for a month's stay, and then disguised herself.
Fortunately, she didn't abandon her cultivation after arriving here, so it's easier for her to disguise herself now; otherwise, it would have taken much more effort.
She bought a high-spec laptop and used the hacking skills she learned in her first life to access her home's surveillance system to understand Mu Wanqing's movements so she could cooperate with her.
In addition, System 123 was not idle either, constantly monitoring the Lin family's whereabouts.
Mu Wanqing went out early in the morning.
"Master, Mu Wanqing has made an appointment with Zhou Li, the chairman of the Zhou Group, at the Oriental Hotel."
"How could they have met? I don't remember the Mu family and the Zhou family ever having any dealings with each other."
"Have you forgotten the Lin Group? The Zhou Group is an investment company, and it's the Lin Group's mortal enemy."
Xiao Li told 123 to keep an eye on things; Mu Wanqing was probably up to something.
In the private room of the Oriental Hotel, the same room as last time, Mu Wanqing smiled. She seemed to have a special connection with this place lately.
"Mr. Jay Chou, hello! I am Mu Wanqing from the Mu Group, and Mu Hang is my father."
"So you're the Mu family's daughter, it's a pleasure to meet you!"
Zhou Li was quite surprised. She had heard that the Mu family's daughter was a very gentle and timid girl, unlike the one in front of her, who had sharp eyes and looked like she was not to be trifled with.
"Mr. Jay Chou, thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to meet with me. Please take a look at this first."
Mu Wanqing handed Zhou Li an envelope containing several photos.
Zhou Li's eyes darkened. Zheng Xiaodong, very good.
"I know you're currently competing for that piece of land in the east of the city. Well then, I wish you every success!"
Zhou Li curled the corners of her lips; this Mu Wanqing was quite interesting.
"I'll accept this; consider it a favor I owe you. What would you like, Miss Mu? This is a gift for you as a token of my gratitude."
Mu Wanqing's eyes lit up. The Zhou family had a history in the underworld. Although they had now cleaned up their act, they still controlled many dark forces. This was the kind of connection she wanted.
"Can I store this for now? I'll contact you when I need it."
"Can."
The two put aside their previous topic and began to enjoy the food, chatting happily for a while.
The Zhou Group was only established this year, and theoretically it should not have the strength to compete with the Lin Group. However, the Lin Group has powerful backers and capital, and has managed to carve out a piece of the pie in Kunming.
Zhou Li himself is also very outstanding. He is thirty years old this year but still single. He is a well-known eligible bachelor in Kunming.
He was older than Lin Xuyang, but his charm was undiminished, making him a popular choice for the future husband among many wealthy young women in Kunming. He clearly had the upper hand over Lin Xuyang.
Lin Xuyang had long disliked the Zhou Group, which, relying on the backing of the Jing family, acted arrogantly and tyrannically, seizing many of Lin's projects.
In this auction, he secretly bribed a high-ranking executive of the Zhou Group. In his previous life, he had indeed succeeded, seizing that piece of land in the east of the city and ultimately making a fortune.
At that time, Mu Wanqing and Lin Xuyang were preparing for their wedding. She overheard the Lin family father and son talking about this matter by chance, and that's how she learned that the Zhou Group actually had an undercover agent.
The Lin Group can forget about that land for the rest of their lives. This is the first gift Mu Wanqing gave to Lin Xuyang.
After dinner, Mu Wanqing declined Zhou Li's offer to drive her home and drove alone to Mingshan Villa, a place near the suburbs and nestled at the foot of the mountains. It was almost deserted.
Inside the villa, however, it was bustling with activity as dozens of workers were renovating it.
Mu Wanqing came to supervise the construction every night. She wanted to build a basement exactly like the one she had lived in in her previous life.
