Chapter 27 It's probably not as simple as a chance encounter.
Mu Yunzhou happened to overhear Chao Xian's words from outside the kitchen.
The aunt next to him saw Mu Yunzhou about to speak when he waved his hand, telling her not to disturb Chao Xian.
Chao Xian's movements were practiced, and what he just said seemed like a casual remark.
Seeing that Mu Yunzhou had returned so early today and was still standing outside the kitchen, Mu Ziyan put his schoolbag on the sofa and went over.
"What are you looking at?"
Mu Ziyan looked inside and saw Chao Xian cooking.
Mu Ziyan looked at Mu Yunzhou with a strange gaze, not understanding why Mu Yunzhou was standing outside the kitchen.
Upon hearing the sound, Chao Xian turned around and saw Mu Yunzhou and Mu Ziyan standing at the door.
A hint of doubt flickered in his eyes: "Why are you all back so early today?"
Upon hearing this, Mu Ziyan quickly raised her hand: "I came back at the normal time. The only one who came back early today was my dad."
Mu Ziyan looked at Mu Yunzhou with a slightly different expression: "Maybe the company has been quite quiet lately."
Who doesn't know that Mu's Group's business spans all industries?
Mu Yunzhou used to always work overtime and never leave early. He only started leaving get off work normally after Chao Xian started cooking. But today he actually left early.
This is not Mu Yunzhou's style of doing things.
Mu Yunzhou glanced at Mu Ziyan beside him and gestured with his eyes that Mu Ziyan should shut up if he couldn't speak properly.
The two watched as Chao Xian placed the plate of food beside them and quickly reached out to carry it to the table.
When the aunt saw that Mu Yunzhou and Mu Ziyan had returned, she quickly left the villa, planning to come back and tidy up later.
The aunt is still in her probationary period and it's inconvenient for her to live at Mu's house, so she rented a short-term room in a nearby community. She will move into Mu's house after her probationary period is over.
Although the back-and-forth trips were troublesome, the Mu family offered a high probationary salary, so the nanny was willing to do it.
"By the way, the temperature difference has been quite large lately, remember to bring a jacket tomorrow morning."
Before going upstairs, Chao Xian noticed Mu Ziyan's short-sleeved shirt and carefully gave him some advice.
Mu Yunzhou was sitting to the side looking at documents on his phone. Hearing this, he looked up to reply, but then heard Mu Ziyan's clear voice beside him: "Okay, I understand."
Good, it wasn't told to myself.
Mu Yunzhou watched Chao Xian's retreating figure as she quickly went upstairs, seemingly unaware that he was still there.
With his tongue slightly touching his teeth and his expression indifferent, he stood up and glanced at Mu Ziyan, who hadn't even started tidying up the table yet.
Mu Yunzhou curled his fingers and tapped the table with his knuckles.
"Wipe the table clean."
Upon hearing this, Mu Ziyan instinctively replied, "Washing the table is Auntie's job!"
"You can wipe it clean right now, but watch out for your remaining allowance."
Mu Yunzhou ignored all explanations, threatened Mu Ziyan who was tidying up, and then went upstairs.
Mu Ziyan, holding a bowl in her hand, almost contorted her face upon hearing these words.
Her hands unconsciously tightened their grip, but the next second she heard the crisp sound of the ceramic bowl hitting the marble kitchen counter. Mu Ziyan subconsciously bent down and carefully checked for any damage.
Only after confirming that nothing was broken did he cautiously breathe a sigh of relief.
Luckily, it wasn't broken, otherwise I'd get scolded again tomorrow.
Mu Ziyan tidied up and wiped the table clean.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, but she didn't dare raise her voice: "You just know how to threaten me with your allowance!"
When will he complain?
Mu Ziyan snorted.
Just as Chao Xian had predicted, it rained in the middle of the night and the temperature dropped sharply.
Mu Yunzhou had already picked up a thin suit jacket, but remembering Chao Xian's reminder last night, he simply changed into another jacket, folded the thin jacket, and put it into his briefcase.
After tidying myself up, I went downstairs.
Chao Xian was already sitting on the sofa eating breakfast, holding a paper script in his hand. He had finished reading it last night, but now that he had time to eat breakfast, he took it out again to think about it.
It wasn't Mu Ziyan's wake-up time yet, and Mu Yunzhou originally thought he should get up earlier than Chao Xian.
result……
I miscalculated.
Hearing footsteps behind him, Chao Xian didn't turn around, holding a freshly peeled egg in her hand: "Breakfast is on the table, help yourself to your chopsticks."
"Didn't we already hire a housekeeper?" Mu Yunzhou brought breakfast and walked towards the sofa.
Mu Yunzhou sat next to Chao Xian, watching Chao Xian flip through the script in his hand and eat his breakfast casually.
Chao Xian hummed in agreement, casually flipping through the script in his hand, and said nonchalantly, "Auntie is still on probation, I'm not comfortable with that, I'll let her start cooking in a couple of days."
Mu Yunzhou didn't know what Chao Xian was worried about.
After all, the assistant had spent a long time selecting this aunt, and she passed both the education and chef qualification tests.
Mu Yunzhou nodded: "If you don't find a script you're satisfied with, just tell Su Ge. Su Ge should have other scripts to choose from."
Upon hearing this, Chao Xian understood that Mu Yunzhou already knew he wanted to pursue a career as an actor.
"How are things going with the Qin family?"
Chao Xian suddenly had an idea and asked it.
"I've already handed the Qin family over to the legal department, so you can rest assured."
The Qin family's situation can be clarified by checking their inheritance. Besides, the Qin family has been declining in recent years, so it would be easy to get rid of them.
But it's the person behind it all.
"Mu Qianyu has already gone to deal with the Jian family. Jian Huai didn't clean up his mess this time and got caught red-handed. Although the Qin family is sticking to their guns and won't let go, it's pretty much a done deal."
Mu Yunzhou's tone was slightly cold when he spoke of the Jian family.
Even the uncles and aunts of the Mu family couldn't help but feel that Jian Huai's behavior was shameless.
If the two families are breaking up, they should break up peacefully. Why make such a fuss and still expect Mu Ziyan to return to the Qin family?
Moreover, if Jian Huai hadn't been lying to everyone that he and Mu Qianyu hadn't broken up, while simultaneously keeping a stand-in and pretending that his "white moonlight" had gone abroad...
Mu Qianyu will not return to China in person.
And now things have come to this, it's all Jian Huai's fault.
He used the Mu family's resources to double the company's profits, and then thought it was all his own doing.
The Mu family has simply taken back what never belonged to the Jian family, but Jian Huai thinks the Mu family is threatening him.
A person who is presumptuous yet arrogant.
And this person is actually the male protagonist of a book.
Chao Xian found it all laughable.
They didn't consider the consequences when they did things, and they didn't consider whether it was their fault when things were exposed.
Under the guise of what they believe to be true love, they think they're just keeping a substitute by their side to express their longing, and that they haven't done anything wrong.
Even if the truth is later discovered, they will only blame everything on others.
Does someone like that deserve to be the protagonist of a book?
Fortunately, this time Mu Qianyu did not swallow her anger. In the story, Mu Qianyu did not say anything wrong about Jian Huai. She only announced her engagement to Elder after returning, but Jian Huai regarded it as a betrayal.
His reputation within the industry is utterly tarnished.
Even the evidence that Mu Qianyu presented.
They were all considered to be composites created with Photoshop.
As Chao Xian and Mu Yunzhou were talking, they saw Mu Ziyan coming downstairs.
She sat obediently at the dining table, eating her breakfast, wearing a light jacket.
Chao Xian put away the script, and Mu Ziyan tidied up the dishes and put them in the kitchen before leaving early. The driver was already waiting outside.
Seeing Chao Xian picking up his things and about to leave, Mu Yunzhou stood up and said, "I'll take you to the company today. I need to take care of some things there."
Chao Xian looked up in surprise, but did not refuse.
The script given by the acting teacher was really good. I read it over and over again, and even wrote down the character biographies in my mind.
I increasingly feel that although this villain is hateful, he is also more likely to make people cry in the later stages.
If he were to take on this script, this villainous role would be the most challenging one for Chao Xian.
Only after the car was parked in the parking lot did Chao Xian take out a black mask from his pocket and put it on.
Mu Yunzhou, holding documents in his hand, got out of the car and entered the elevator with Chao Xian. Just as he was about to speak, someone outside opened the elevator.
Mu Yunzhou looked up and saw a boy dressed in sportswear with a handsome face. He was carrying something in his hand, but Mu Yunzhou couldn't see it clearly. He had originally thought it was just an artist from the company that he had run into.
Unexpectedly, the person looked at Chao Xian as soon as he entered the elevator: "Chao Xian, good morning. I just bought a box of mini egg tarts. Would you like to try some?"
Chao Xian looked up and saw the person, then shook his head and refused directly: "No need, thank you."
"Their egg tarts aren't very sweet, so you can eat them without worry. You probably haven't had breakfast since you came so early, right?" Ren Zi said with a smile, handing the paper bag in her hand to Chao Xian.
Mu Yunzhou watched Ren Zi speak coldly from the side, and the way he looked at Chao Xian seemed embarrassed to accept the gift.
In reality, Chao Xian's breakfast was enough for his morning exercise. He had been very careful about what he ate lately, and he hadn't even had a sip of the sugar-free tea that Mu Ziyan had bought for him.
Not to mention things handed to you by strangers.
Mu Yunzhou reached out and took it directly, tapping it lightly with his fingers, his gaze falling on the egg tarts inside the paper bag.
"Are the company's artists allowed to eat desserts now?"
Celebrities have extremely strict requirements for body management.
Not to mention desserts, even the calories in regular meals are calculated before eating them.
When Ren Zi heard Mu Yunzhou speak, his gaze fell on Mu Yunzhou. He was wearing a suit whose brand was unknown, but judging from the quality and style, it must have been quite expensive.
When Ren Zi first came in, she only glanced at it.
He hadn't paid any attention to it, but now he felt that this man was being a bit nosy.
Moreover, Ren Zi had never seen such a person before, at least not within the company.
“Sir, you may not know much about our company…” As Ren Zigang said this, a faint smile appeared on the beautiful face behind Chao Xian’s mask.
This is the first time I've heard of a company owner not understanding anything about the company.
However, Chao Xian did not speak, but waited for Mu Yunzhou to answer.
Mu Yunzhou held the paper bag tightly, his face slightly cold, looking as if he wouldn't let anyone get close: "After the meeting, you'll know who I am."
When they arrived at the eighteenth floor, Ren Zi felt a little uneasy. He glanced at Chao Xian, but Chao Xian just stood there, as if the conversation between the two people in the elevator had nothing to do with him.
The elevator doors closed again. Mu Yunzhou lifted the egg tart in his hand, seemingly lost in thought: "Knowing you're a celebrity, why would I give you egg tarts? Isn't that just trying to make you less photogenic?"
Chao Xian found this statement rather strange.
But he couldn't figure out what was strange, so he nodded in agreement: "Maybe."
In the entertainment industry, resources are limited; Ren Zi is an idol, while he is an actor.
Even if Chao Xian doesn't appear on camera, Ren Zi won't benefit from it.
"Do you often run into him?" Mu Yunzhou asked, lowering his eyes.
Chao Xian left the company much earlier than the other artists, especially since the elevators for all six artists were working properly.
If you run into each other frequently, it's probably not just a chance encounter, right?
