Old Madam Mu still had a ruddy face and white hair. She sat on the balcony with her eyes closed, resting, slowly turning the beads in her hands.

Wen Shanshan lowered her eyes, walked behind Madam Mu, and called softly, "Grandma."

"Hmm?" Madam Mu opened half of her eyes, looked at the girl beside her who looked worried, and said with a kind smile: "Shanshan? What do you want to talk to me about?"

Wen Shanshan tugged at the corner of her clothes and said, "Grandma, I...I want to leave the Mu family."

"oh?"

Madam Mu opened her eyes, and her pair of dark brown eyes in her slightly sunken eye sockets seemed to see through Wen Shanshan's thoughts.

She raised her eyebrows slightly, as if she was not surprised that Wen Shanshan proposed to leave, and asked lovingly: "Where are you going to leave the Mu family?"

Madam Mu's tone seemed to show her concern and understanding for the younger generation, which made Wen Shanshan feel less anxious.

"I want to go to... City B."

"Oh~" Madam Mu stretched out her voice and nodded to show that she understood.

She paused, then asked curiously, "What are you doing there?"

Wen Shanshan dodged a glance and said, "I, I want to live independently."

Madam Mu sighed and said, "That's right. You are already in your twenties. It's time to see the outside world."

When Wen Shanshan heard that Madam Mu also agreed, she was secretly delighted. However, Madam Mu changed the subject and said, "But... Grandma doesn't want you to leave, what should I do?" She picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip of the tea, and looked very enjoyable.

"Grandma?" Wen Shanshan's eyes flashed with disappointment and she looked sad, not knowing how to answer Madam Mu's question.

Madam Mu narrowed her eyes and smiled, saying, "Grandma was just joking with you."

Wen Shanshan immediately smiled.

She put down the teacup, grabbed Wen Shanshan's hand, patted the back of her hand, and then said, "I'll ask the housekeeper to make arrangements for you."

Wen Shanshan quickly said, "No need, I... will leave tonight." As she spoke, she looked at the old man on the rattan chair with a guilty look on her face.

Madam Mu was very surprised and couldn't help asking, "Leaving tonight?" She turned around and looked at Wen Shanshan in surprise.

Wen Shanshan pursed her lips, nodded silently, and said "hmm" softly.

Seeing that the situation was irreversible and inevitable, Madam Mu sighed and said, "Well, since you want to leave, it's hard for grandma to keep you. You can go to the housekeeper to settle your salary later. This way, at least you will have some money on you."

Then, she said to Wen Shanshan: "If you don't have a good time outside, you can always come back to the Mu family to see grandma."

Madam Mu looked at Wen Shanshan with sincere eyes. Wen Shanshan sniffed, her eyes reddened, and nodded vigorously.

"Thank you, grandma."

Wen Shanshan said this from the bottom of her heart.

Madam Mu treated her very well, just like her own granddaughter.

It’s a pity that Wen Shanshan wants something more than this love.

Madam Mu waved her hand and asked Wen Shanshan to go out: "Hurry up and pack your luggage. I will ask the housekeeper to take you to the airport this afternoon."

Wen Shanshan raised her hand to wipe the moisture from the corners of her eyes, then turned and left the room.

At the moment the door closed, Wen Shanshan took a lingering look at the lonely old man on the rattan chair. She sighed heavily and murmured, "Ah Heng is gone, and now even Shanshan is gone... It seems that I am really old!"

The tone was full of sadness and helplessness.

Wen Shanshan's nose felt sore, and before her emotions collapsed, she quickly closed the door. She covered her mouth and fled back to her room.

Humans are inherently selfish creatures. For their own selfish desires, they can pursue everything they want or abandon everything they have.

Wen Shanshan is just a woman crazy about love, what has she done wrong?

Madam Mu is well aware of this truth.

She is also an experienced person and has seen all kinds of people, so how could she not guess what young people are thinking?

"Forget it... Let them deal with it on their own." Old Madam Mu looked at the coniferous forest in the distance. The temperature on the mountain seemed to be much lower today. Perhaps she was really old and didn't even have the ability to resist the cold.

In the afternoon, Wen Shanshan packed her luggage and planned to say goodbye to Madam Mu, but was stopped outside the door by the housekeeper.

"The old lady is still resting. She asked me to tell you something before she takes a nap."

"What?" Wen Shanshan asked, biting her lower lip.

The housekeeper took a deep look at Wen Shanshan and said, "The old lady said...you should be careful with your words and actions outside and don't make mistakes that you shouldn't make."

Wen Shanshan was shocked and looked up at the housekeeper.

Don't make mistakes that you shouldn't make.

This was a warning given to her by Madam Mu.

Wen Shanshan seemed to understand everything. It turned out that Madam Mu had guessed everything but just didn't say it.

"Yeah, I... understand."

Wen Shanshan turned around and left, paused, looked back at the housekeeper standing in front of the door. From the gaze between them, she knew that she would never have the chance to come back this time.

In that case, take care.

Wen Shanshan murmured in her heart: Take care.

She left the Mu family villa complex, which was surrounded by deep mountains and jungles, without looking back.

In the busy airport, there was a man drinking coffee elegantly, his black eyes fixed on the white figure approaching him, with sarcasm in his eyes and a sneer on his lips.

"Congratulations on getting rid of the Mu family."

He stretched out his arms towards the white figure, as a gesture for a hug.

The visitor looked at him coldly, and did not throw himself into his arms. He just said, "After we arrive in City B, we will have nothing to do with each other."

Mu Chen shrugged and smiled, then said, "This is not something you can decide."

He started this game, so he should decide how to end it.

Now that you have joined the game, there is no option to pause or quit halfway.

Wen Shanshan turned her head and glared at him coldly, hatred hidden in her eyes, and uttered two words: "Mad man!"

Mu Chen didn't care at all. He replied: "Don't forget, we are all the same."

Muchen was right. They all wore hypocritical masks during the day and lived a miserable life, but they had great ambitions hidden in their hearts. Only in the dark did they dare to reveal their ambitions and lick their wounds alone.

Wen Shanshan ignored Mu Chen, closed her eyes and waited to board the plane.

But Mu Chen sneered, his bloodthirsty eyes filled with excitement. The closer he got to the plan, the faster his heart beat.

City B, here he comes.

Can't wait to complete the plan and have everything I want.

Including everything in Mu Heng's hands, around him, and under his name.

He believed that it wouldn't take long before these would belong to him.

Especially the beautiful woman he had been dreaming about for a long time.
