Suddenly, the table became quiet. Chi Ling's chopsticks almost fell onto the table. She put down her chopsticks in panic, lowered her head, and pretended to drink porridge.
But Mu Shicang didn't focus his gaze on her. Instead, he looked at everyone and said with a smile, "Everyone must cooperate then."
Mu Shicang spoke in a very casual manner, as if he was saying something as simple as "let's go fishing together later." However, no one objected to such a casual remark. It seemed that whoever opened his mouth would be blamed.
In the end, Mu Chunyu was the only one who jumped up and down: "What are you talking about? You're suspecting your own family? Did you forget your last name after you got married?"
Mu Shicang slowly turned his head to look at her, his smile gradually fading: "Aunt, it seems that you are the one who forgot your last name. Your last name is Chen now, but... this is the Mu family's business."
His smile slowly disappeared as the words came out of his mouth, and he seemed to have lost the ability to argue with this unreasonable old lady.
Seeing the old lady was so angry that she was fuming but couldn't find any words to refute, Yang Shushu gave Mu Shicang a thumbs up in her heart: You scumbag, you are really a scumbag.
Suddenly, I felt mentally balanced. This scumbag was not only bad to Yang Shushu, but he was also not bad to his family. He was pretty good.
After breakfast, Yang Shushu was completely confused. If the family wasn't harmonious, why were they living together? Living and eating separately was actually better for their health. If they ate like this every day, their stomachs would eventually get upset.
Not long after breakfast, the fire department came again. At Mu Shicang's request, they conducted a detailed investigation into the fire. Everyone was questioned individually. Yang Shushu told the truth about what happened that day. After that, she returned to her temporary room. As for what others asked later, she had no idea.
Just at noon, when the servant brought her lunch, she accidentally saw Mu Shilian and Chi Ling enter Old Master Mu's study.
The matter seemed to have come to an end here. No one knew what Mu Shilian and Chi Ling said to Old Master Mu in the study that day. But that night, Old Master Mu called Mu Shicang to the study and the two talked for a long time.
After that, peace temporarily returned to the Mu family. Since Yang Shushu had no place to live, she temporarily lived in the old man's villa.
Chunxiao had a fever that day, and was later choked by smoke. She was in a coma for a day and lay in bed for three or four days. It was not until five days later that she recovered and came to find Yang Shushu.
Seeing Yang Shushu was afraid, Chunxiao's expression was very awkward. Yang Shushu looked at her and waved her hand: "Alright, alright, no need to thank me. Just don't feed me instant noodles every day in the future."
Chun Xiao was choked by what she said: "I... I don't have a daily..."
Yang Shushu raised her hand to stop her from saying, "Alright, alright, I'm not Mu Shicang, don't put on that green tea face in front of me, it makes me want to hit you."
Chun Xiao originally felt really grateful and guilty, but her two words wiped it out. She rolled her eyes and gritted her teeth: "Are you sick?"
"Yes, yes, I am sick. I am really about to get sick from being bored. Why don't we go out shopping?"
Chunxiao was stunned for a moment. She couldn't fully adapt to Yang Shushu's current situation, and sometimes she couldn't even keep up with her thinking. In the past, Yang Shushu hardly went out. She always locked herself in the room. Maybe the phone was her only contact with the outside world.
Yang Shushu didn't care what she thought and just pulled her out. Although Chun Xiao had not treated Yang Shushu very well before, to be honest, she didn't dislike her very much, especially the way she always tried to act like a stunning white lotus in front of Mu Shicang, but her acting was terrible. It was very funny every time she saw it. She also thought, if one day Mu Shicang became interested in this fake white lotus growing beside him, would she have more capital when she filed for divorce?
Others are afraid that their rich husbands will cheat on them, but she keeps a potential vixen by her side. Just thinking about it makes her feel so accomplished. Successful people have to take an unusual path.
Chun Xiao was confused when Yang Shushu dragged her out shopping. However, when they finally reached the gate of the Mu family manor, they were stopped by the two men in casual clothes: "Madam, you can't go out now."
Yang Shushu frowned: "What do you mean?"
The young man in a white hooded sweatshirt said sternly, "Mr. Mu said there's a lot of media attention on that incident right now, so you can't go out yet."
Yang Shushu was so angry that she laughed. "I read the news every day. Political news doesn't pay attention to your wealthy family's affairs. Entertainment news has been monopolized by movie star Zuo Jinheng lately. Tell me, which media outlet is so loyal that they still remember me?"
The man in the hoodie choked at her question. At this time, the older man in a black jacket next to him explained, "Mrs. Mu, Mr. Mu is worried that your health hasn't recovered yet. Please wait a few days until you feel better before going out."
Yang Shushu was about to explode with anger. What was the fear of being chased by the media, what was the worry about her health? This was clearly a plan to put her under house arrest. She bit her upper lip with her upper teeth, grinned, nodded, and paced back and forth: "Okay, Mu Shicang, you still dare to play house arrest with me, do you really think I'm a vegetarian?"
After she finished speaking, she turned and left. As she left, she said to Chunxiao, who had been standing next to her without saying a word, "Chunxiao, go back first. We can go shopping together another day."
Chun Xiao didn't think much about it, just patted her shoulder and turned away. However, Yang Shushu did not go back to Old Master Mu, but turned a corner and walked to the other side.
After she left, the man in the black jacket made a phone call and said, "Mr. Mu, Mrs. Mu was about to go out... Yes, she's gone home now. Hmm? Okay, we'll go find her right away."
He hung up the phone, and the young man in the hoodie asked, "What did the boss say?"
A look of confusion crossed the man's face. "The boss told us to catch up with Mrs. Mu, saying she might have escaped by another route."
The man in the hoodie was stunned for a moment, but although the two of them didn't understand why Mu Shicang said that, they still turned around and chased in the direction Yang Shushu had just left. However, they saw Chun Xiao but did not find Yang Shushu.
The Mu Family Manor was so large that Yang Shushu wandered around for a long time without finding a way out. Finally, she reached the main gate, only to find that the two men were gone. She grinned triumphantly, "Hehe, neglecting one's duties is a good habit."
After saying that, she pressed a button and rushed out. Once outside, she ran along the asphalt road that stretched all the way down the mountain until she was exhausted and out of breath. Then she stopped and stood on the asphalt road with lush green trees on both sides. She bent down, resting her hands on her knees, and laughed three times at the asphalt road going down: "Ha! Ha! Ha! I've escaped successfully."
