The old man smiled, his expression looking better than before, but the expressions of the others became subtle. Mu Shilian looked at Mu Dingyuan, as if asking something. Mu Dingyuan was still thinking with his head down, as if hesitating about something, but Mu Chunyu couldn't help himself.
"Brother, I heard some rumors a few days ago."
"Since it's just a rumor, don't talk about it. It's a waste of time." Old Master Mu didn't look at her, but slowly closed his eyes: "I'm tired, you all go back first."
Mu Dingyuan's expression changed slightly at this moment, as if he wanted to say something, but Old Master Mu suddenly looked at him. Even though he was lying on the hospital bed, the psychological pressure formed over the years still made Mu Dingyuan's heart sink, and he forced himself to shut his mouth.
Everyone left, and the only ones left were Mu Shicang, Yang Shushu, and Uncle Liang.
Yang Shushu could tell that Old Master Mu had something to say to Mu Shicang, so she said, "I'm going out to buy some things," and then left.
In the room, Old Master Mu looked at Mu Shicang and asked him, "They might know something. What do you think they will do?"
Mu Shicang sneered, "They can't think of anything. They probably think that if I become the son-in-law of the Ji family, my position in Muyuan will be even more unshakable. They will try every possible way to destroy my Shushu. If they have a little bit of brains, they should find out why I insisted on marrying Shushu in the first place. If they find out what happened back then, they don't have to do anything. Just let Shushu know."
"So what are you going to do?" asked Old Master Mu.
Mu Shicang lowered his head, placed his hands on his legs, and gently played the guitar: "To be honest, Grandpa, I'm very scared of how Shushu would feel if she knew the truth. She could blame me, she could hate me, but I don't know why, but I'm especially afraid of her crying. It's just that this matter can't remain a secret forever. The Ji family is determined to get it, hehe... Their methods are very similar to those back then."
"What happened?" Old Master Mu's eyes were stern. The old Master Mu who made people shudder when he was mentioned seemed to have returned.
"Grandpa, don't worry. I will take care of it. I have already made preparations. You can rest and recuperate. Don't worry."
Mu Shicang just smiled faintly and patted his grandfather's hand. Old Master Mu stared at him intently for a while, then slowly closed his eyes: "Then let it go. The Ji family... For so many years, they are still immersed in the dream of their glorious past, and even the methods they use are still so traditional. They should wake up."
…………………………
Yang Shushu didn't walk far and waited for Mu Shicang downstairs. When he came down, he saw her and smiled brightly. The sunlight outside shone on her through the glass. He was surrounded by a faint halo, so warm that people wanted to hug him tightly and never let go.
Mu Shicang did exactly that. He walked up quickly and hugged her: "Shushu, I love you very much, I really love you. Maybe our initial encounter and marriage were not so pure, but you have to believe me, I really love you, very much..."
Yang Shushu put her arms around his back, feeling doubtful but smiling brightly: "Then you can tell the truth, why did you insist on marrying me in the first place?" She was very curious about this, and she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart because the person who asked him to marry was not her.
Mu Shicang held her hand tighter: "Give me some more time, then I will tell you everything, but you must promise me that you will not doubt me."
"Haha..." Yang Shushu didn't nod: "That depends on what it is."
"No, you have to promise me." He held her stubbornly, insisting that she agree.
Yang Shushu also became stubborn and said, "I won't."
"..." After being together for so long, Mu Shicang understood her character to some extent. If she continued like this, she might resort to violence.
So he stopped talking and just hugged her tightly, trying his best to let her feel his feelings.
But in this world, there is no impenetrable wall. Everything happened unexpectedly, and no one left Mu Shicang with any time to deal with everything.
…………………………
Yang Shushu always felt that someone was following her recently, and then she found that several men in black appeared around her from time to time. She knew one of them, who was Mu Shicang's bodyguard, but the bodyguards behind her had been withdrawn some time ago. After the incident with Zuo Jinheng, Mu Shicang did want to have someone follow her, but she still refused.
But why did it appear again recently?
She remembered what Zuo Jinheng had said to her before, thought for a while, and finally decided to call Zuo Jinheng.
But the person who answered the phone was his assistant. He was currently filming a movie. According to entertainment news he saw a few days ago, this was his last movie and he would retire from the screen and move behind the scenes. Thinking about his acting skills, Yang Shushu felt it was a pity.
"Then please tell him when he's on break, thank you."
After hanging up the phone, it just so happened that the dumplings she ordered had been packed. Mu Shicang was working overtime today, and he happened to say he wanted to eat dumplings yesterday. She didn't have time to make them, so she simply bought ready-made ones and sent them to the company later as a surprise for him.
After carrying the bag out of the dumpling restaurant, she glanced in the direction of the man in black and got on her trolley. Just as she turned the corner, a child suddenly ran over from behind. She was startled and quickly braked, put her feet on the ground, stopped the trolley and ran over to help the child who fell to the ground.
"Little boy, does it hurt?"
She stretched out her hand and touched the clothes of the child who was lying on the ground without raising his head. At this moment, she heard a scream: "Get out of the way."
Yang Shushu was stunned for a moment and paused her movements instinctively, but the child on the ground suddenly jumped up. Before she could react, the person she thought was the child suddenly had a knife in his hand and stabbed towards her heart.
Her reaction was considered fast among ordinary people, but she was completely caught off guard and even thought it was a child, so she still couldn't avoid the knife. Because her shoulder was grabbed by a hand, she couldn't move at all. She could only watch the shiny knife piercing towards her heart.
When people know they are going to die, they will be afraid and will instinctively close their eyes. It was like this last time, and it was the same for Yang Shushu this time.
The next second, the hand on her shoulder suddenly loosened, and she heard the sound of a sharp blade piercing her skin, but her body did not feel any pain. Then a sweet and fishy liquid suddenly sprayed on her face, and the feeling that seemed to be hot made her heart tremble violently. Her eyes suddenly opened and she saw a tall figure standing in front of her. Looking at the back of the head, she felt a little familiar, but she couldn't understand why he was standing in front of her?
