Chapter 2 The Nominal Adopted Son, the Chosen Servant
When the teacher heard Chao Xian say that, he suddenly panicked.
If something like this happens at school and other parents find out, it could cause a scene at the higher-ups.
So, will their school still be able to enroll students?
"Um... Mu Ziyan's father, let it go. I will punish Mingyang. It's just kids playing around."
The teacher tried to smooth things over.
Chao Xian smiled.
"I am Mu Ziyan's stepmother. He is someone I can bully. You can bully him? Who do you think you are? Playing around, huh? Well, I wonder if it would be convenient for me to play around with the teacher for a bit. After all, it's just play between adults. But I'd like to kindly remind the teacher that I have a mixed martial arts certificate."
Just kids playing around, right?
Even adults' playfulness counts as playfulness.
When Chao Xian stood up, his demeanor was cold and indifferent.
No one thought he was joking about having a mixed martial arts certificate.
Even Mingyang's father, who had just been shouting so loudly, couldn't help but shrink back.
Chao Xian is exceptionally beautiful and has been the target of a lot of harassment in the entertainment industry.
Fearing that he wouldn't be by Chao Xian's side, the manager took Chao Xian to learn mixed martial arts.
Chao Xian lived up to expectations and even obtained a certificate.
In the entertainment industry, you can't hit people; you have to go easy on them. But here, Chao Xian doesn't need to follow the rules.
Chao Xian glanced at Mu Ziyan beside him.
He said coldly and discontentedly, "Tell your dad to find you a mixed martial arts coach. Don't come to me if you lose again; it's embarrassing."
Just as Chao Xian was about to leave with his men, Ming Yang's father was unwilling to watch them go.
He could only continue, "We haven't settled the matter of him injuring my son! Why should they leave?"
Chao Xian's morning grumpiness has now reached its peak.
When you don't want to talk and want to manually shut someone up.
Chao Xian heard a gentle voice coming from the doorway:
"Hello, I am a lawyer from the Mu Group."
Several men in black suits walked in through the door, and the person standing behind them looked somewhat familiar.
Chao Xian thought for a moment, and then matched up.
She is a capable assistant to a wealthy tycoon.
I didn't expect them to get the news so quickly, their speed was quite good.
Judging from this, he should be able to go back to sleep now.
Before the matter was resolved, Chao Xian was already missing his bed.
The assistant walked up to Chao Xian, looking at him with a strange expression, but still spoke respectfully:
"Madam, leave the rest to us. You can take the young master and leave now."
Chao Xian waved his hand, then left with Mu Ziyan, who remained silent behind him.
If Mu Ziyan hadn't gotten into the car with him...
Chao Xian almost forgot what he looked like.
But when I turned around, the child was sitting obediently in the passenger seat, not saying a word and very quiet. Raising a child like this doesn't seem so bad, does it?
She wasn't as withdrawn as depicted in the novel.
At most, they just don't like to talk.
Chao Xian thought to himself.
As for the husband I've never met?
That's fine.
Kids are good, adults are bad.
Kids don't have that many ulterior motives. Having seen so many people in the entertainment industry who only know how to scheme and plot all day long, seeing a seemingly simple and innocent kid like this is actually quite nice.
Without the hectic schedule of the entertainment industry, and without having to deal with people whose faces you know but whose hearts you don't, I feel completely relaxed.
Chao Xian couldn't take her eyes off the milk tea shop on the side of the road.
He had just come from the film set before receiving the award. Milk tea is considered the source of all evil in the entertainment industry, yet it attracts countless artists.
However, Asahi is not an entertainer now...
"Mu Ziyan, I want something to drink. We can't park here, so go buy me some blueberry yogurt, full sugar."
Chao Xian naturally gave orders to Mu Ziyan, who was sitting in the passenger seat.
All that could be seen was a hint of shock in Mu Ziyan's gaze as she looked at him.
It seemed as if Chao Xian hadn't expected him to ask him to buy milk tea.
The two stared at each other without moving for a full minute.
"I've already come to school to help you, what's wrong with buying me a cup of yogurt? No money? Then take my phone." Chao Xian could only think of this one reason, and directly shoved his phone into Mu Ziyan's hand.
"Payment password 042777, I'm going to park my car~"
Mu Ziyan didn't understand why he, an autistic child, had to go buy yogurt.
Why do I need to park my car just to buy yogurt?
Mu Ziyan didn't understand.
When Chao Xian rushed over, Mu Ziyan was still clicking on the name of the yogurt on the screen. When the clerk saw that it was blueberry yogurt, he asked about the sweetness.
But he did not receive a reply from Mu Ziyan.
When the shop assistant asked again, Mu Ziyan pointed to the full sugar.
The shop assistant didn't say anything.
After all, they see all sorts of strange and unusual guests every day.
This child seems to be somewhat socially anxious.
"Are you done? I'm hungry!" Chao Xian emphasized.
For a moment, Mu Ziyan didn't know whether she was the child or Chao Xian was the child.
Perhaps it was because Mu Ziyan's gaze was simply too rich.
Chao Xian cupped her face in her hands: "I was sleeping soundly when I was suddenly woken up. I haven't had lunch yet. What's wrong with me eating out?"
Confident and self-assured.
They were absolutely right and confident.
Mu Ziyan couldn't argue with him.
I had no choice but to shut up and get the milk tea.
When Chao Xian saw that there was only one cup of milk tea, he couldn't help but raise an eyebrow: "Aren't you going to drink it? Make another cup, it's really delicious. Young people should drink milk tea, it's so sweet."
For actors who are on a diet before joining a production, desserts and milk tea are the best supplements!
That's amazing.
What kind of young people don't drink milk tea?
Especially for quiet junior high school students.
Chao Xian felt that Mu Ziyan should drink more milk tea; if he had a sweet tongue, he would be more talkative.
That's a fallacy.
Mu Ziyan had no chance to resist.
I've never tried milk tea before.
The hot pot was spicy to a level that Mu Ziyan had never tasted before.
Ke Chaoxian likes it.
Mu Ziyan's resistance was futile.
It was already evening when the two of them returned home smelling strongly of hot pot.
Chao Xian had his hands empty.
Mu Ziyan behind him was carrying a bunch of tote bags.
Chao Xian hadn't expected Mu Ziyan to have the money to pay.
She was even very obedient; if Chao Xian took a liking to something, Mu Ziyan would pay for it first.
This kid is so well-behaved.
Chao Xian originally intended to just take a look.
As a result, I accidentally bought too much.
I also picked out a few outfits for Mu Ziyan.
Chao Xian was in high spirits, while Mu Ziyan remained silent.
The two entered the living room and suddenly stopped in their tracks.
The man sitting on the sofa was wearing a suit and holding a mobile phone, seemingly replying to a message.
He exuded an indescribable air of nobility.
The person in front of you can't help but be afraid.
Hearing the sound, Mu Yunzhou turned around and saw the two people holding milk tea standing obediently at the door.
Like a little mouse caught by a cat.
I dared not move an inch.
In the original novel, the tycoon of the wealthy family was ruthless and a tough character. If he were to discover that he was not the original owner of the body, he might even be taken away for research!
In that case, before Chao Xian could even figure out how to survive, he would probably have already been torn into several pieces!
Chao Xian became increasingly frightened as he thought about it.
Mu Yunzhou looked over at the two of them. Chao Xian and Mu Ziyan smelled strongly of hot pot, and even he could smell the spiciness from where he was sitting on the sofa.
This doesn't seem like the kind of food Mu Ziyan would eat.
Chao Xian only remembered seeing Mu Yunzhou once, when they were getting their marriage certificate.
Later, Mu Yunzhou was either busy or on his way to be busy.
She probably found out about Mu Ziyan's situation, which is why she went home.
"Didn't I say no milk tea?" Mu Yunzhou's voice was deep, and his expression was cold as he spoke these words.
Under the warm light, there is a cold profile.
Chao Xian glanced at the milk tea in her hand, then at Mu Ziyan.
He blurted out, "Mu Ziyan insisted on drinking milk tea, and I couldn't stop her."
Mu Ziyan: ?
It almost made the autistic person laugh out loud.
Chao Xian, speaking with utmost seriousness, uttered nonsense: "I tried to stop them, but I couldn't."
If you scold Mu Ziyan, you can't scold me!
Chao Xian glanced at Mu Yunzhou cautiously, gave an awkward smile, and then quickly went upstairs.
She didn't dare to look at Mu Ziyan, whom she had shifted the blame onto.
They didn't even dare to take anything from Mu Ziyan's hands.
Mu Ziyan glanced at what was in his hand, then at Mu Yunzhou.
Mu Yunzhou felt helpless and waved his hand.
Seeing Mu Ziyan like this, it seems there's nothing going on at school.
"Go up and deliver the things there."
After Mu Yunzhou finished speaking, Mu Ziyan huffed and puffed as he carried all the things up to the second floor.
Mu Yunzhou, however, felt that Chao Xian seemed a little different.
Even if she had interacted with Mu Ziyan like this before, she would never have taken Mu Ziyan out for milk tea or hot pot.
Not to mention shifting the blame to Mu Ziyan right in front of him.
Chao Xian used to be afraid of him.
Fortunately, Chao Xian also abided by the prenuptial agreement, so at least Mu Ziyan's autism has not gotten worse.
Today, Mu Yunzhou noticed a hint of helplessness towards his stepmother on Mu Ziyan's face.
It seems that even when he is not at home, Chao Xian is not only keeping his prenuptial agreement, but also trying to introduce Mu Ziyan to the outside world.
Young people should explore the outside world more.
Try out more things from the outside world.
Mu Yunzhou isn't some old-fashioned patriarch.
He's at most eight years older than Chao Xian.
This is a huge misunderstanding.
Chao Xian simply thought Mu Ziyan was obedient and easy to manage.
It just came out of habit, and afterwards it was purely out of convenience to order people around.
Mu Yunzhou was still thinking about school when he saw his aunt, who was still awake, walk into the living room.
“Mr. Mu, there’s something I’m not sure if I should say, but for the sake of the young master, I should tell you.”
Mu Yunzhou frowned slightly, leaned back on the sofa, and looked at the aunt in front of him.
That gaze seemed to give the aunt immense courage.
“Mr. Chao always came home late, and he would come back in the middle of the night smelling of alcohol. I only said a few words to him, and Mr. Chao said he wanted to fire me.”
The aunt said this to complain to Mu Yunzhou.
After all, Mu Yunzhou was still in charge at home.
The aunt felt that no man could tolerate his wife drinking outside until midnight.
Moreover, both of these hosts were men.
Moreover, it seems to be her second marriage, since she already has a young son.
Just as the aunt was thinking about many things in her mind.
Mu Yunzhou listened to what the aunt said, his expression unchanged. He stood up and looked at the aunt who clearly had her own agenda: "Since my wife has said so, then you can settle the bill and leave today. He is also the host, so his words carry the same weight."
The aunt hadn't reacted yet.
Mu Yunzhou went straight upstairs.
Originally, I wanted to complain about Chao Xian, but now it seems I've blocked my own path!
