Chapter 8 Mu Ziyan: I'm reporting someone who wants to burn down my house.
"I don't know him." / "I do know him."
Their voices overlapped, and while Chao Xian confidently claimed not to know him, Mu Yunzhou's statement that he did know him sounded somewhat... ridiculous.
The woman's interest was immediately piqued: "So, do you two not know each other or do you know each other?"
Chao Xian smiled awkwardly, then glanced at the elevator: "Well, I'll be going now, I won't bother you."
Chao Xian left the place directly and then entered the staircase from the side.
I couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
Oh no, I've interrupted my boss's date. Will I be kicked out of the Mu family tomorrow for sleeping in?
Chao Xian couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
When he reached the door, Chao Xian's mood was still not calm.
Looking up, she saw Mu Ziyan under the streetlight next to her.
Chao Xian was somewhat puzzled as to why Mu Ziyan would appear in this place.
He walked up and patted Mu Ziyan on the shoulder.
Upon seeing that it was Mu Ziyan, he handed him the milk tea.
Chao Xian picked up the door and was about to open it.
Hearing Mu Ziyan speak softly, "You can't drink and drive."
Chao Xian blinked: "I know, I didn't drink."
He was in a state of mind and spoke with confidence.
Then he glanced at Mu Ziyan, who seemed to have been waiting at the door, and thought of Mu Yunzhou, whom he had just met.
Chao Xian asked softly, "When did you arrive? Were you at the door the whole time?"
Mu Ziyan hummed in agreement.
As if able to see through Chao Xian's thoughts: "I just saw Mu Yunzhou."
"I caught your dad on a date, is he going to try and kill me?" Chao Xian asked hurriedly.
Mu Ziyan frowned, seemingly not expecting Chao Xian to have this attitude.
He thought that Chao Xian and Mu Yunzhou had a good relationship.
At least Mu Yunzhou had never said he wanted to marry anyone before.
The elders of the Mu family even thought that Mu Yunzhou would become a monk and abstain from women and even men for the rest of his life.
But unexpectedly, one day, Mu Yunzhou came back and told everyone that he was going to marry a man.
The elders of the Mu family almost went to the temple overnight to fulfill their vows.
After all, it's not like I'm becoming a monk.
Everything is negotiable.
Judging from the stepmother's current demeanor, she doesn't seem to care much about Mu Yunzhou having affairs.
Did the stepmother not like her father, and then he forcibly took her away from her, and in the end, he didn't cherish what he had!
What a bombshell!
The thought flashed through Mu Ziyan's mind, but he quickly dismissed it, which resembled a scene from a novel. He then unconsciously touched his head.
Oh no, I've become stupid because of my stepmother.
Mu Yunzhou is not a lawless person.
Although Mu Ziyan didn't know the woman, he felt that Mu Yunzhou didn't seem like the type of person who liked women.
"Wait for me a moment." Mu Ziyan couldn't figure it out and didn't want her stepmother to misunderstand, so she planned to ask her herself.
Just as Chao Xian agreed, he saw a text message on his phone.
It's from Muyunzhou.
Chao Xian frowned, considering whether to open the message and see: "Your dad sent me a message?"
Mu Ziyan paused in his action of opening the door, then looked at Chao Xian.
Chao Xian opened it.
Mu Yunzhou: Are you gone? Mu Qianyu invited you up to play.
Chao Xian handed the phone to Mu Ziyan.
Who is Mu Qianyu?
Chao Xian and Mu Yunzhou's wedding was very low-key.
They only got a marriage certificate.
Even because Mu Yunzhou said Chao Xian was a little shy, he didn't recognize all the members of the Mu family.
Mu Ziyan thought for a moment and said, "It seems to be my cousin who manages a company overseas all year round."
Chao Xian was stunned when he heard this.
Then he couldn't help but think of how he had just told that woman he didn't know her.
Utterly finished!!!
Chao Xian calmed down for a moment, then sent a message directly.
Chao Xian: No, Mu Ziyan is waiting for me at the door. I'm taking her back to sleep, otherwise she won't grow tall.
The ultimate shield: Mu Ziyan!
After replying, Chao Xian put his phone away and drove off.
Inside the bar, a blonde, blue-eyed foreign man sat next to a woman in a private room. Hearing the sound of a message on Mu Yunzhou's phone, he looked at the man with some anticipation.
"So, what did your brother-in-law say?"
Mu Qianyu even tried to snatch Mu Yunzhou's phone, but to her surprise, Mu Yunzhou simply turned it off and said coldly, "Mu Ziyan is waiting for him downstairs. He has already taken Mu Ziyan back."
Mu Qianyu felt a little regretful, sighed, then took the arm of the man beside her and rested her head on his shoulder.
"Looks like your status in the family isn't so great after all..."
Mu Qianyu's tone carried a hint of innocence.
"The thing to consider now is whether you can still bear the surname Mu in the future. The Mu family will not allow you to marry him," Mu Yunzhou changed the subject.
His tone was icy, not at all like someone speaking to family.
He even felt a bit of a headache.
"You just broke up with that guy from the Jian family and you're already telling your family you're getting married, and your fiancé is the son of a competitor from overseas. You might as well just tell your family you're taking the company with you and splitting up the family."
Mu Yunzhou found Mu Qianyu in front of him rather ridiculous.
But Mu Qianyu's every move was serious.
"Why did you and Jian Huai break up?" Mu Yunzhou asked the question he had wanted to ask before.
Before Mu Qianyu could answer, Mu Yunzhou received the reply from the man next to them who had been merely listening to their conversation.
"Because I am better than him, and I will never cheat on him and hurt Qianyu. We will have a notarized agreement before we get married, so you can rest assured. After we get married, our two companies will cooperate to jointly capture the overseas market and achieve a win-win situation."
The man's Chinese can only be described as fluent.
Mu Qianyu nodded upon hearing the man's words, then her tone turned slightly sarcastic as she thought of someone.
"As for Jian Huai, he keeps a body double who looks a bit like me. Yun Zhou, I'm just abroad, not dead. He keeps my body double."
When Mu Qianyu first found out, she thought it was outrageous.
The proud Mu Qianyu broke off her relationship with Jian Huai immediately after discovering the truth, and then quickly started dating Elder abroad.
Mu Qianyu has no shortage of men around her, so there's no need for her to continue that relationship with a scumbag who uses her as an excuse.
"Okay, I'll talk to my family." Mu Yunzhou rubbed his temples, then asked softly, "Don't go home for a while. Wait until I tell you. By the way, where do you plan to stay during this time?"
Upon hearing this, Mu Qianyu stared intently at Mu Yunzhou, then smiled and said, "I'll be troubling Yunzhou again during this time. I also brought a gift for your man!"
Mu Yunzhou sneered.
But it wasn't stopped.
He simply messaged his assistant, telling him to hurry up and find a housekeeper.
Chao Xian and Mu Ziyan eat at home, so cooking is quite convenient for them.
But having two more mouths makes a difference.
"We haven't found a suitable housekeeper yet. If you want to eat, you can order takeout or cook for yourselves."
Mu Yunzhou reminded.
Mu Yunzhou wondered whether he should tell Chao Xian, but then thought that Chao Xian should be home asleep by now and didn't want to disturb him, so he sent a text message to Mu Ziyan instead.
Mu Ziyan didn't knock on Chao Xian's door for a long time today. Chao Xian even smelled a burnt smell and the smell of natural gas in the room!
Chao Xian was still not fully awake when he suddenly sat up in bed.
I took a deep sniff of the strange smell in the room.
Then open the balcony door and quickly air out the smell.
No, could it be that Mu Ziyan suddenly decided to cook today and ended up causing a natural gas leak?
Chao Xian wet a handkerchief with water, then covered her face and went out. Downstairs, she saw a woman standing helplessly in the kitchen.
There was also a foreign man next to them, and neither of them looked too happy as they fiddled with the gas valve.
Unexpectedly, the two drifted further and further apart.
The smell was getting stronger and stronger.
Mu Ziyan frowned, wanting to step forward and stop the two, but the two were really persistent.
Chao Xian strode forward and turned off the natural gas.
They also turned off the main power switch.
Then, bypassing the three people, he opened the windows and doors to air out the smell.
Once everything is done.
Chao Xian looked at the three of them with a grim expression, seeing their weak and helpless appearance as if they knew they had gotten into trouble.
He gritted his teeth and asked, "Are you trying to murder me?"
Mu Ziyan raised his hand, indicating that he had something to say.
He received a glance from Chao Xian.
Mu Ziyan righteously reported Mu Qianyu next to her: "They were sneaking around in the kitchen and wouldn't let me turn it off!"
Mu Ziyan had watched Chao Xian cook for a few days before, and originally wanted to turn it off.
But both of them stopped them.
Therefore, it wasn't Mu Ziyan who wanted to murder him.
Instead, it was Mu Qianyu and Elder!
After Mu Ziyan finished speaking, she even glanced at Chao Xian's expression.
Chao Xian coughed lightly twice, realizing he really couldn't stay at home any longer.
He rushed out the door.
I took a breath of fresh air.
He came back to life.
Mu Ziyan followed Chao Xian.
He looked listless.
Mu Qianyu and Elder also knew they had made a mistake.
“Brother-in-law, I’m really sorry, Elder and I have never cooked before. Mu Yunzhou told us to either order takeout or cook ourselves, but there are no breakfast shops offering delivery at this time of day, so…”
He cooked for himself, and it almost turned into a murder.
Mu Qianyu felt a little guilty.
I originally thought making breakfast would be quite simple.
Who would have thought that it almost turned into a suicide scene?
"Um, I brought you a gift in my room, I bought it especially for you!" Seeing that Chao Xian's face was getting more and more unpleasant.
Mu Qianyu spoke directly, her tone filled with panic.
When Chao Xian heard about the gift, he raised an eyebrow and then thought for a moment.
This is all Mu Yunzhou's fault for not telling him in advance.
"The house needs to air out, so I opened the air conditioner and windows. We can only go in after the smell has dissipated for a while. Don't go into the kitchen next time. Just tell me what you want to eat."
Chao Xian felt a headache coming on.
The way Mu Qianyu looked at Chao Xian was like she was looking at a savior!
The morning is peaceful, but the cloud-shrouded island is ruined!
Mu Qianyu thought her brother-in-law was really too good.
"It's almost time for school." Mu Ziyan frowned as she looked at the time.
I can't eat breakfast.
Mu Ziyan looked at Mu Qianyu with a hint of resentment in his eyes.
If it weren't for them, I would already be sitting at the table enjoying breakfast!
"Buy something to eat on the way, and I'll bring you lunch later," Chao Xian patiently instructed.
Unexpectedly, Mu Ziyan glanced warily at Mu Qianyu and Elder.
"I'll eat at home, be careful."
Both Mu Qianyu and Elder, whom Mu Ziyan regarded as the source of danger, heard these words.
The two who were laughing just a moment ago suddenly stopped laughing.
