Chapter 54 The old lady is critically ill
Following the official announcement of Chao Xian as CL's brand ambassador, within a day of the release of the official photos, all jewelry and clothing worn by Chao Xian in the photos sold out online.
Everyone was surprised by the purchasing power of Chao Xian's fans, and Chao Xian's fashion resources suddenly improved.
And soon after, Chao Xian's movies and TV series will be broadcast.
With his current fame, many scripts have approached Chao Xian, but they can only be considered mediocre.
Chao Xian's birthday is in early March, and Su Ge plans to throw a big party for him.
After all, Chao Xian is now considered a top-tier celebrity with access to top luxury resources, so Su Ge started organizing fan meetings for Chao Xian early on.
Even Jiao Jie, who was filming on a foreign set, generously asked CL to cover the fans' gifts, airfare, and accommodation.
This also allowed everyone to see once again CL's affection for Chao Xian.
At the birthday party, Chao Xian's jewelry was a gift from Mu Yunzhou, and the red diamond on his hand was dazzling, but everyone could only see Chao Xian's face.
Chao Xian had a smile on his face, and his bodyguard, whom his fans recognized, was by his side.
President Mu watched as the fans below involuntarily shed tears because of Chao Xian's appearance.
Mu Yunzhou looked up at Chao Xian on the stage.
At this moment, Chao Xian is the moon in everyone's eyes.
They were restrained, gazing upwards, not expecting the moon to come towards them, but only feeling that the moon should always be in the sky.
But the moon is gentle; even with its eyes lowered, it can still see them.
The fan meeting for Chao Xian was not long. Mu Yunzhou took Chao Xian to the old house, where they also prepared a birthday banquet for Chao Xian.
The moment Chao Xian entered the door, Mu Ziyan set off the fireworks that had been prepared in advance. Mu Qianyu and Elder, who were already engaged, Mu's parents who had returned from abroad, and his uncle and aunt were also present.
Even the old lady who never goes out except for major holidays came.
Chao Xian was somewhat surprised when she saw them; she hadn't expected so many people to come and celebrate her birthday.
Chao Xian made a wish and blew out the candles in front of everyone.
Mu Ziyan cheered loudly with a megaphone, and even managed to give his gift to Mu Yunzhou before he could, thanks to his relationship with Chao Xian.
Mu Yunzhou glanced at Mu Ziyan, who had spoken first, and unusually remained silent.
Instead, Mu Yunzhou just looked at Chao Xian and saw his happy face, and he couldn't help but smile.
However, Chao Xian did not believe that the birthday celebration was arranged by the Mu family in advance.
After all, since Mu Qianyu and Elder announced their engagement, their collaborations with their overseas companies have become increasingly close.
Many people were envious of them, so these two must have been busy, yet they were still willing to come back for their own sake.
I'm afraid a large part of it is because of Mu Yunzhou.
Before they had even finished eating the cake, Mu Yunzhou pulled Chao Xian away from the Mu family.
When Mu Ziyan realized it, all that was left of the two of them was exhaust fumes from their car. Mu Ziyan could only sit on the doorstep, looking at the sky and sighing.
I forgot about myself again.
More than a month later, Chao Xian was brought to the viewing platform by Mu Yunzhou again. Chao Xian thought that Mu Yunzhou wanted to ask for the answer again.
But Chao Xian really hadn't made up his mind yet. Chao Xian was touched and knew that he had once been moved.
Chao Xian just wanted to know whether her heart was moved by the person in front of her, or because it was the person in front of her.
Chao Xian has not yet answered this question.
Looking at Mu Yunzhou before him, Chao Xian pondered the answer he hadn't yet found, his mind in turmoil.
But then a loud 'bang' sounded behind him.
Chao Xian subconsciously turned around and then saw fireworks suddenly blooming on the sea.
And drones not far away.
My name is in the sky.
Chao Xian turned to look at Mu Yunzhou, only to see Mu Yunzhou smiling, holding Chao Xian's wrist, and whispering, "Come with me."
Mu Yunzhou drove Chao Xian to City A. Almost every advertising space in City A featured Chao Xian's name, including the LED screen in the city center, which was also filled with birthday wishes for Chao Xian.
Chao Xian was stunned when he saw it.
Even after arriving home, Chao Xian opened the living room door, and the surprises weren't over yet.
Wrapped gifts filled the living room, with neatly stacked gift boxes labeled from age one to twenty-three.
Chao Xian was somewhat surprised: "This is..."
Happy 23rd birthday, Chaochao.
Mu Yunzhou said softly, his eyes filled with tenderness and blessings for Chao Xian's 23rd birthday.
May his moon always be confident and always have its own light.
Looking at Mu Yunzhou at this moment, Chao Xian's heart pounded, as if it were reminding him of something.
But Chao Xian felt inexplicably hesitant.
He also had a big secret that he hadn't told Mu Yunzhou.
If he leaves one day, what will happen to Mu Yunzhou?
On that day, the hashtag #TopBillionaireChaoXian'sBirthday# trended on Weibo, making fans of other celebrities very envious.
After Chao Xian's birthday, she didn't know if it was because her mind was in turmoil or something else.
Chao Xian's work schedule was almost non-stop, and he began to get busy.
In addition, the recent film promotion was something that Xu Xianluo and Chao Xian had confirmed beforehand.
So for several days in a row, Mu Yunzhou only chatted with Chao Xian on his phone, and even video calls were canceled.
Mu Yunzhou was somewhat unwilling, so he handed the work over to the vice president and started chasing after Chao Xian.
He would definitely be there if it was an activity that required him to be free.
Chao Xian wanted to avoid it, but Mu Yunzhou seemed to be able to get there from all directions.
Even when he was filming in the desert, Mu Yunzhou was able to keep up with Chao Xian.
It was as if she was unaware of Chao Xian's thoughts, and simply treated Chao Xian well.
Su Ge was extremely satisfied with his artist, seeing that Chao Xian was trending on social media not because of her looks, but because of her acting skills.
When selecting resources for Chao Xian, he was extremely cautious and made careful choices.
The only thing that bothers them is that Mu Yunzhou likes to follow Chao Xian around all the time, to the point that fans know that Chao Xian has a handsome bodyguard who wears a mask.
Moreover, some so-called "bodyguard X celebrity" CP fans have inexplicably appeared online. Su Ge felt that Mu Yunzhou was behind it, but she couldn't find out that Mu Yunzhou liked to use Weibo.
The CP super topic was even created by someone named: Chaochao's kid.
Su Ge couldn't figure it out, so he could only watch as Mu Yunzhou became increasingly reckless.
This made Suger somewhat worried, wondering if the public relations materials he had prepared were too simplistic.
Mu Yunzhou's birthday and Chao Xian's birthday were only a month apart. At that time, Chao Xian and Mu Yunzhou were in the desert, and even Mu Ziyan couldn't send Mu Yunzhou a gift.
Chao Xian had prepared a wooden carving gift for Mu Yunzhou well in advance.
Previously, Mu Yunzhou saw Mu Ziyan constantly showing off, so he went to Chao Xian and said pitifully that he also wanted a wood carving.
That's why Chao Xian took the time to carve one.
Mu Yunzhou said he didn't celebrate his birthday, but when Chao Xian had his assistant buy him a small cake, Mu Yunzhou said he was very touched that Chao Xian remembered his birthday.
Chao Xian was also left speechless, both amused and exasperated by Mu Yunzhou.
After eating the cake, Chao Xian gave away his gift.
President Mu immediately posted on his WeChat Moments to show off, and specifically tagged Mu Ziyan.
So much so that Mu Ziyan spent the entire night sending private messages to Mu Yunzhou, most of which said that Mu Yunzhou was just jealous of her!
However, Mu Yunzhou blocked Mu Ziyan with one click.
I'm so proud of myself!
This was probably the first very special birthday that President Mu had ever celebrated, in the desert, with the person he loved.
Even on his birthday, Chao Xian couldn't spend much time with President Mu.
After all, Chao Xian is the male lead, the same role the director recommended to him last time.
The roles were very demanding, and sometimes the rest time during the day was less than four hours, which Mu Yunzhou found heartbreaking.
But he knew he couldn't persuade Chao Xian, because this was Chao Xian's passion.
So Mu Yunzhou could only try his best to make sure Chao Xian ate well and slept comfortably at night.
Before Chao Xian got up in the morning, Mu Yunzhou prepared breakfast for Chao Xian and made snow pear water for him. After Chao Xian fell asleep, Mu Yunzhou also needed to pour out the water in Chao Xian's water cup and wash the cup clean.
Finally, Mu Yunzhou followed Chao Xian to the film set, waiting for Chao Xian to finish filming and providing him with a comfortable environment so he could rest as much as possible.
Suger felt like he was about to lose his job, let alone his assistant.
"Brother Su, am I going to lose my job with all the benefits?" the assistant asked pitifully.
Suger couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth: "More than that, I feel like I'm about to lose my job too."
As long as Mu Yunzhou is around, they don't need to interfere in Chao Xian's affairs at all.
Su Ge even felt that the people in the crew sometimes looked at Mu Yunzhou and Chao Xian differently.
They are constantly flirting with exposure.
Socrates was heartbroken. That was it.
Perhaps because neither Mu Yunzhou nor Chao Xian tried to hide it, they managed to switch film crews twice without being discovered.
Even when Mu Yunzhou was on a variety show, he took the food that Chao Xian had eaten and ate it.
It wasn't even exposed online.
Even those close to you should have noticed these little things by now, right?
result!
There wasn't a single scandal.
Su Ge felt that Mu Yunzhou was about to cause trouble, but Chao Xian didn't have a single scandal.
Su Ge couldn't help but wonder if her artist had some strange aura about her.
Surprisingly, not a single paparazzi exposed the relationship between the two.
Chao Xian was unaware of Su Ge's thoughts.
Looking at Mu Yunzhou, who was with her on set every day, she asked curiously, "Is there really no problem with the company?"
"My dad is back."
Mu Yunzhou said this, so the company is now almost entirely in a state of decentralization.
Upon hearing this, Chao Xian felt that Mu Yunzhou seemed to be setting a trap for Mu's father.
But that's actually true. Even though she had already gone abroad for a trip, when her son confessed about the contractual marriage, she was cursing and swearing while being forced by her mother to return to China to manage the company.
All this was so that his son could properly pursue women.
No wonder Chao Xian was unwilling to accept the shares of the Mu Group before. It turns out that he was tricked into marriage by Mu Yunzhou. What a misfortune for the family!
What a waste of his good looks!
Mr. Mu roared in frustration, but Mrs. Mu was focused on the relationship between Chao Xian and Mu Yunzhou and didn't care about Mr. Mu working overtime at the company.
Chao Xian responded with an "oh," and Mu Yunzhou opened the water glass and handed the straw to Chao Xian.
Chao Xian lowered his head and obediently drank two sips.
Mu Yunzhou took out a small mirror and placed it in front of Chao Xian. Chao Xian glanced at it and made sure that the lipstick on his lips hadn't been wiped off before he felt relieved.
Mu Yunzhou followed Chao Xian for almost a whole year.
From the beginning of the year when the company still relied heavily on Mu Yunzhou, Mu Yunzhou would leave the company every night to go to Chao Xian's film set, just to see Chao Xian.
Occasionally, she would free up some time to leave company matters to the vice president, and she would go to the Chaoxian film crew to be Chaoxian's assistant.
This went on for about a month. After Mu's father returned, Mu Yunzhou was able to stay by Chao Xian's side with peace of mind.
After all, other people have one rival in love, while Chao Xian has a constant stream of people around him.
Even those people included both men and women.
Mu Yunzhou could only stay by Chao Xian's side every day.
From early spring to late autumn.
The days gradually grew colder, and Mu Yunzhou remained by Chao Xian's side.
The place where the variety show was being filmed was a bit cold. Mu Yunzhou looked at Chao Xian, who was wrapped up tightly, and reached out to put a scarf around Chao Xian's neck.
With only her eyes showing, Chao Xian raised her head slightly, her questioning gaze seeming to ask Mu Yunzhou if he was sure he wanted to wrap himself up like this.
Mu Yunzhou was charmed by Chao Xian's cuteness.
She lowered her head slightly, her forehead touching Chao Xian's, her eyes full of smiles.
"I'll go buy you a hot milk tea later, so you can have it after filming. After this variety show is over, can you finally take a break this year?"
Chao Xian nodded. This year, Chao Xian could be said to have seamlessly connected two film crews, and even interspersed many variety shows and endorsements in between.
My schedule is packed full throughout the year.
They can be considered extremely dedicated.
"How about we go abroad for Chinese New Year this year? Didn't we say we were going skiing last year?" Mu Yunzhou asked Chao Xian for his opinion.
Upon hearing this, Chao Xian raised his objection, saying, "It wasn't him who said he wanted to go: 'That was Zi Yan who said it!'"
"Where Chaochao goes, I'll go too, how about that?" Mu Yunzhou chuckled.
Upon hearing this, Chao Xian thought about it seriously: "I want to go somewhere that isn't cold. I'm practically wrapped up like a ball."
Last year, Chao Xian wore a coat as he pleased, but this year, after reading too much news, Mu Yunzhou is worried about his health from wearing too little clothing.
So much so that now when Chao Xian appears on a variety show, he's dressed in thick layers.
All the celebrities were dressed in fashionable outfits they endorsed, but Chao Xian stood out from the crowd and looked quite out of place.
But no matter how you look at Xiang Xian's face, she's incredibly handsome.
She was especially adorable in front of Mu Yunzhou.
But Chao Xian still remembered that he was a star!
He looked chubby on camera, which even seemed strange to Chao Xian himself.
She pouted, dissatisfied, but did not refuse.
"That's just how Chaochao is, don't catch a cold, wear more clothes, Chaochao! Chaochao is Mommy's good baby! Ahhhh! My sweet baby!"
"Honey, you're so cute!"
"That's my husband, get out of my way!"
The screams and conversations of the fans outside the venue reached Chao Xian's ears.
Chao Xian was taken aback for a moment, then looked over there with a wry smile and waved to his fans.
She even jumped around a bit to show that she was wearing enough clothes.
Another wave of screams from the fans.
This variety show is a competition-style show, and Chao Xian is with the others.
His obedient and well-behaved appearance made others relax their guard a bit.
But it was precisely this slight lapse in concentration that allowed Chao Xian to win the championship with incredible speed and confidence.
After filming wrapped, the director and crew returned to their hotel to rest, and the other celebrities said goodbye to Chao Xian and left as well.
Only Chao Xian was still sitting on the sofa in the hotel lobby, waiting for Mu Yunzhou to pick her up.
The hotel lobby was warm and a bit hot, so Chao Xian took off her scarf and held it obediently in her hand.
But instead of Mu Yunzhou, Chao Xian met someone he hadn't seen in a long time.
Fan Yu.
Fan Yu sat opposite Chao Xian, a smile on his face, staring at Chao Xian with a strange look in his eyes.
Chao Xian's expression turned slightly cold as he picked up his scarf and prepared to stand up and leave.
When Fan Yun got married for the second time, Fan Yu sent an invitation to Chao Xian, but when Chao Xian heard that it was an invitation from the Fan family, he had it disposed of without even looking at it and didn't go.
The relationship between the Fan family and the Mu family has recently become somewhat strained.
Furthermore, Chao Xian didn't think Fan Yu was a good person, so it was natural that he wouldn't sit alone with Fan Yu.
Moreover, Chao Xian felt there was nothing he needed to say to Fan Yu.
"Chaochao, instead of being with Mu Yunzhou, why can't you consider me?"
Fan Yu seemed to be genuinely asking the question, his tone full of sincerity and also curiosity.
The Fan family is not bad either, Fan Yu thought to himself, and then turned his attention to Chao Xian.
Upon hearing this, Chao Xian looked up at the person opposite her and asked, "Why should I consider a man who inexplicably says he loves me?"
Without taking any action, all they say is that they like me.
Why would Chao Xian like a man like that?
Do you like his pancakes?
Chao Xian is not some young man who hasn't entered society yet.
Shui Chaoxian knew everything about the entertainment industry before she transmigrated into the book.
Fan Yu only thought he was good-looking, and since he was from Mu Yunzhou, that's why he was targeting him.
sincere?
That's not even a fraction of it.
"Is it because you think the Mu family is a better backer?" Fan Yu asked rhetorically, his expression in a suit making Chao Xian feel strange.
Chao Xian felt even colder and more uncomfortable than last time.
Chao Xian sneered, stood up, and looked down at Fan Yu in front of him with disdain in his eyes, a sharpness rarely seen in Chao Xian.
"It seems that President Fan is truly unaware of his own inexplicable behavior. But that makes sense, since President Fan has never genuinely liked anyone, so of course he wouldn't understand what I mean."
Chao Xian was always mild-mannered and had never been so sarcastic.
Upon hearing this, Fan Yu looked up at Chao Xian, only to see Chao Xian's departing figure.
Just then, a tall man entered the hotel; it was Mu Yunzhou, whom Fan Yu did not want to see.
Chao Xian walked briskly to meet him, a joyful smile on his face.
There was absolutely no indifference when facing oneself.
Mu Yunzhou is nothing more than a Mu family.
Fan Yu's eyes flashed with ruthlessness, but he quickly suppressed his emotions as he turned his head away.
He is good at disguising himself.
They were just waiting to deliver the final blow to the enemy.
Fan Yu left without watching Mu Yunzhou and Chao Xian's next move.
Mu Yunzhou felt cold and, seeing Chao Xian approaching, quickly told Chao Xian to stay put and not come any closer.
Once the heating had warmed them up a bit, Mu Yunzhou handed the hot milk tea to Chao Xian.
Why are you downstairs all alone?
Mu Yunzhou couldn't help but ask, his eyes filled with heartache.
Chao Xian, holding her milk tea, looked up and said earnestly, "I really wanted to wait for you to come upstairs together."
Upon hearing this, Mu Yunzhou smiled and reached out to touch Chao Xian's face, finding it warm.
Mu Yunzhou then took the scarf from Chao Xian's hand: "Let's go upstairs."
"I don't remember there being a bubble tea shop around here?"
As Chao Xian walked, he looked at the sign on the milk tea shop. He had ordered milk tea earlier that day, but he hadn't seen this shop nearby.
Chao Xian couldn't help but ask Mu Yunzhou.
Upon hearing this, Mu Yunzhou nodded casually and said, "Yes, that's why I went a little too far and came back late."
Chao Xian didn't even need to search to know that Mu Yunzhou's return was so late, which meant that the distance was more than just a little far.
"It's not like I necessarily have to drink this brand of milk tea."
Chao Xian spoke softly.
Mu Yunzhou just smiled and gently soothed Chao Xian's little mood: "I saw that this store had new products yesterday, and I thought you would like the new products, so I went there."
Chao Xian gave an "oh," and thought to herself, "Next time, don't go so far."
Before he could speak, Mu Yunzhou pulled a gift out of his bag: "I found this online; it's supposed to be a local specialty."
Chao Xian couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
Seeing Chao Xian's smiling face, Mu Yunzhou couldn't help but chuckle.
After receiving the gift, Chao Xian thought about it for a long time before finally telling Mu Yunzhou about seeing Fan Yu.
Upon hearing what Chao Xian said, Mu Yunzhou frowned and then told Chao Xian not to have any contact with him.
“My father called me recently and said that the Fan family seems to be trying to harm the Mu family. I’m afraid they might hurt you. After we get back, let’s go back to the old house for a few days. After the New Year, the matter will be resolved.”
People in the business world are cunning and treacherous.
Mu Yunzhou dared not take the risk of Chao Xian.
Chao Xian nodded obediently: "It just so happens that I can take a few days off in the next two months. I haven't been able to get a proper rest during this period."
Speaking of rest, Chao Xian sighed softly.
I've been so tired lately, but now I can finally relax for a while.
Mu Yunzhou smiled and said, "Go to bed early tonight, or you'll be secretly watching TV on your tablet again."
Hearing this, Chao Xian felt a little guilty.
Just pretend that Mu Yunzhou wasn't talking about him.
Chao Xian looked at Mu Yunzhou with a hint of innocence in his eyes.
Seeing Chao Xian like this, Mu Yunzhou felt rather helpless.
It's really hard to be fierce towards someone who's so relaxed.
The next day, Mu Yunzhou took Chao Xian back to City A. City A wasn't too cold yet, and Chao Xian changed into a coat after getting off the plane.
She looked much more relaxed.
Mu Ziyan met Chao Xian at the airport entrance.
Mu Yunzhou put Chao Xian's suitcase in the car.
When Chao Xian saw another car ahead, he realized that Mu Yunzhou wouldn't be going to the old house with him.
He smiled and said goodbye to Mu Yunzhou.
After getting into the car, Chao Xian's smile gradually disappeared, and his expression turned somewhat unwell.
Although Mu Yunzhou didn't say anything, Chao Xian had a bad feeling after Fan Yu appeared yesterday.
When he saw the company car picking up Mu Yunzhou from the airport, the feeling in his heart intensified. Perhaps the Fan family had already begun to take action against the Mu family.
Chao Xian couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
Even when I was with Mu Ziyan in the afternoon, I felt somewhat uneasy.
Fortunately, Chao Xian saw Mu Yunzhou not long after he left work at the Mu Group during normal hours.
Mu Yunzhou's expression was relatively relaxed.
This made Chao Xian breathe a sigh of relief.
The Fan family and the Mu family have different backgrounds. The Fan family may not be qualified to shake the Mu family.
In the following days, Chao Xian spent his days drinking tea and listening to opera with the old lady. Occasionally, when the old lady was in a good mood, she would sing a song for Chao Xian.
Mu Ziyan, who had come with Chao Xian, also learned a few lines of opera.
The old lady told Chao Xian about her story with Grandpa Mu. At that time, the old lady was still Miss Qi, who had returned from overseas, while Grandpa Mu was the head of the Mu family.
At the ball, Miss Qi and the head of the Mu family fell in love at first sight.
When Grandpa Mu proposed to the old lady, he gave her an estate.
Speaking of this, the old lady couldn't help but ask Chao Xian, "Do you like that manor? That manor is most beautiful in winter. Yunzhou's grandfather proposed to me in winter."
So in the old lady's eyes, the manor was beautiful when it snowed in winter.
She was so beautiful that sometimes she thought the man who said he would love her for life was still by her side.
As Chao Xian listened to the old lady's story, she discerned the relationship between her and the old man of the Mu family.
She also knew that the old lady gave the manor to her because she wanted to give her blessings to Chaoxian and Muyunzhou.
The old lady pulled out a photo album from inside the room.
The old lady was fashionable and beautiful when she was young, and a little dress made her even more charming.
The man in the dark suit looked at the woman beside him with a gentle expression.
Those must be the old lady and Grandpa Mu.
As the old lady flipped through the photos, in all the previous ones, Grandpa Mu was looking tenderly at the girl beside him.
For the first twenty years, Miss Qi grew up under the loving care of her family, and in the following decades, Grandpa Mu also protected her very well.
In the later photos, there was no longer Grandpa Mu, only the younger generation of the Mu family.
By then, Grandpa Mu would probably already be gone.
Chao Xian was thinking.
The old lady took out Mu Yunzhou's photo and told Chao Xian some interesting stories about Mu Yunzhou.
Besides what everyone knows about Mu Yunzhou's previous statement about becoming a monk.
There's also the story of Mu Yunzhou, who, as a child, believed that thunder meant monsters, and would eagerly come to his grandmother at night if he couldn't sleep, asking her to tell him stories.
Chao Xian listened to Mu Yunzhou's amusing stories and couldn't help but find them funny.
The old lady and Chaoxian talked a lot.
a lot of.
Even when the aunt next to her reminded the old lady that she should rest, the old lady was still in good spirits.
So Chao Xian stayed with the old lady for a long time.
Back at the small building, Chao Xian discovered that Mu Yunzhou had not yet left work.
It got dark again.
Chao Xian assumed it was overtime work.
When Chao Xian woke up the next morning, he still hadn't seen Mu Yunzhou.
Instead, he noticed a small bag hanging by his door, inside which was a small box containing a ring.
At noon, Chao Xian heard from Mu's mother that Mu Yunzhou, Mu's father, and his uncle had all gone to work early that day.
Chao Xian could probably guess what was going on, and looked at Mu's mother sitting next to him: "Is it because the Fan family is a troublesome one?"
Upon hearing this, Mother Mu paused slightly with her chopsticks, her gaze falling on Chao Xian.
Mother Mu shook her head slightly and sneered, her expression one of disdain for the Fan family: "It's not just the Fan family."
Behind Mu's mother is the Rong family. Even if it's not just the Fan family, the Rong and Mu families working together would be enough to suppress several families.
But things are not so simple.
"Now even the Rong family has been blocked by them. Your uncle and aunt called urgently this morning. The Rong family's goods have been intercepted and they are currently under investigation."
Chao Xian's heart sank when he heard this.
The story's timeline is almost over, but things aren't going in the direction Chao Xian had anticipated.
Could it be that... even if Jian Huai and Zhao Ling no longer pose a threat, the fate of the Mu family is still irreversible?
Chao Xian's face was a little pale. Mu's mother noticed Chao Xian's complexion and quickly comforted him.
"Chaochao, don't worry, everything will be alright. The Mu family has weathered so many storms over the years, how could we possibly be afraid of a small Fan family?"
Chao Xian also hoped that he wouldn't be afraid, but he couldn't help but feel scared when he thought of the ending in Mu Yunzhou's book.
They were afraid that Mu Yunzhou would really die.
Winter came quickly this year, and Chao Xian was worried all day long without even realizing it.
Mu Ziyan reminded Chao Xian to change into warmer clothes before going to the front hall.
But before they could even set off for the front hall...
Rong Heng, who was resting on the first floor, received a phone call. He sounded anxious and sent the message to Chao Xian and Mu Ziyan.
"The old lady started having a fever last night. The doctor came to see her this morning and said that she might not make it. Mr. Mu and the others are still at the company. The old lady didn't want them to know, so Mrs. Mu asked you to go and see her."
When Chao Xian heard this, he was holding a scarf in his hand, and he lost his grip and dropped it to the ground.
Mu Ziyan looked at Rong Heng in disbelief, but Rong Heng dared not deceive Chao Xian and Mu Ziyan with such a thing.
The sorrow on his face didn't seem fake.
The old lady who was humming tunes and telling her love story just two weeks ago... is she really gone now?
Chao Xian and Mu Ziyan hurried towards the old lady, while Rong Heng whispered beside them:
"The old lady had a fever once before, and her health deteriorated afterward. The doctor didn't say anything at the time, and we thought she had recovered a few days ago, but unexpectedly she suddenly developed a fever last night."
A few days ago, the old lady was in high spirits and spent her days strolling around the Mu family's old house.
But now it seems that this is really abnormal, and it may be a last gasp before death.
When Chao Xian arrived, the old lady was talking to Mu's mother.
Upon seeing Chao Xian, he quickly waved for Chao Xian to come over.
Then he asked the aunt next to him to fumble for a key under his pillow.
The aunt quickly handed the key to the old lady, whose wrinkled hands trembled. Chao Xian quickly reached out and grasped the old lady's hands.
"Grandma is here every day."
Chao Xian said softly.
When Mu's mother saw this, she turned her head slightly to wipe away her tears, and then turned to look at the old lady.
"Chaochao, this is for you. The Mu family will still belong to you and Yunzhou in the future. And then... and then this is a gift for Qiqi. Please remember to give it to Qiqi for me."
The old lady lay in bed, her voice trembling as she spoke.
Chao Xian's eyes welled up with tears, and he quickly nodded to indicate that he agreed.
Upon hearing the old lady's words, Mu's mother quickly spoke up, but her voice was filled with sobs.
"Mother, Qiqi is on her way back. You must wait for Qiqi. She's already on the plane, Mother. Can you hear me? Qiqi is on her way back!"
Hearing Mu's mother's words, the old lady seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and placed the small, exquisite key in Chao Xian's palm.
The old lady then closed her eyes.
Upon seeing this, the doctor immediately began testing with his team.
It was confirmed that the old lady had simply fallen into a deep sleep, but the instruments showed that her other indicators were not good.
The old lady's body had reached its limit, but she probably wanted to wait for her most beloved granddaughter, so she kept struggling to hold on.
"Madam Mu, please take advantage of this time to allow the children and grandchildren who need to see the old lady to come back and visit her."
"As for the rest, please prepare for your funeral."
