1059 I“ll Give You A Chance 4

Mu Yuchen’s tone was firm and solid.

Gu Qiwu seemed hesitant as he looked at Mu Yuchen. His voice was hoarse as he croaked out, “What do you want?”

As Mu Yuchen’s eyes darkened, he closed his eyes as he tried to calm down. “I’m giving you a chance to be responsible and announce Lingshi’s identity before Qi Feng and Gu Lingsha’s wedding. Also, tell all the reporters that my aunt is your first love, that you two were deeply in love but were unable to be together because of a conflict of interest, and that you were forced to give up on this relationship. I’ll get someone to send you a script, so you just have to explain as I’ve mentioned.”

“That’s not happening!” Gu Qiwu scoffed.

Mu Yuchen squinted his eyes at Gu Qiwu. “What did you say?”

“I said that’s not going to happen. Your aunt isn’t my first love, and we weren’t deeply in love. I know you’ve been investigating me, so I’m sure you know all these very well.”

Gu Qiwu’s expression darkened.

The temperature around Mu Yuchen plummeted suddenly as he stared at Gu Qiwu deep in the eyes and laughed coldly. “Are you worried about Doris? I’m surprised that you’re in love with her, but it seems like the two of you aren’t as harmonious as people say.”

Although Gu Qiwu did not reply, his expression became sullen.

Mu Yuchen put on a cold smile as he glanced at Gu Qiwu. “Are you really not going to consider my suggestion at all?”

“I’m just respecting the truth. It’s for the sake of your aunt and Lingshi, but...”

“Good, I won’t force you anymore since you’ve made your choice. I’ve given you a chance, and you’re throwing it away. Don’t blame me for my next move then.” Mu Yuchen calmed down and attempted to leave after that last sentence.

When Gu Qiwu noticed that something was not right, he turned around and yelled, “Mu Yuchen, what are you going to do!?”

Without a reply, Mu Yuchen’s figure disappeared at the end of the staircase.

...

The sky turned dark while the evening breeze was pretty chilly. Gu Qiwu looked at the empty staircase with brooding eyes.

“Boss, we should head back now. It’s getting late. CEO Qi invited you over for dinner at the Qi residence. I’ve also delivered the invitations and here’s the name list. Please check if I’ve missed anyone out,” Ah Yong spoke up after some time.

Gu Qiwu came back to his senses and took a glance at the sky. Then, he took a deep breath and said, “Ah Yong, keep an eye on Mu Yuchen. I want to know what he’s up to!”

“Mu Yuchen? Boss, is he...?”

“Not just him, Mu Lingmo as well. I have a hunch that we can get him on our side after our meeting last time. If we can turn him against Mu Yuchen, it’ll be marvelous,” Gu Qiwu said.

“Mu Lingmo? Boss, to be frank, I don’t think that’s very likely. Mu Lingmo has been working alongside Mu Yinan for many years, and he’s very loyal to Mu Yuchen as well. I doubt this plan will work on them,” Ah Yong voiced out his opinion.

Gu Qiwu smiled slyly as he glanced at Ah Yong. “You’re wrong there! Loyalty doesn’t last forever. People only care about the benefits they get! He wasn’t convinced the last time because the terms we offered weren’t good enough. Greed is the core of humanity!” His cold smile was incredibly spine-chilling to Ah Yong.

“You mean...?” Ah Yong asked for confirmation.

“Invite him out again. He’s my son-in-law no matter what, so I should give him some benefits one way or another. That way, we might have an easier future.”

It was the first time for Gu Qiwu was feeling so helpless! There was Mu Yuchen, and then there was Doris. Each of them was troublesome on their own!

...

The street lamps were switched on earlier because the sky had turned dark pretty early. Maple Residence was visible amidst the rain with the help of the street lamps.

It was a quiet Friday at home. Wang Hui and the others brought Mu Xiaocheng back to Mu residence as it was a weekend the next day. With Mu Lingshi visiting them frequently lately, it was pretty lively. In comparison, Maple Residence was fairly quiet. Xi Xiaye was alone at home because Sis Wang and the others had taken a day off.

Xi Xiaye cooked several dishes and then took a glance at the clock. It was already 8 p.m. but Mu Yuchen was still nowhere to be seen. She called him a few times, but he was not answering. Then, when she remembered that he had left his phone with her that afternoon, she heard the sound of something vibrating in her handbag.

Feeling uneasy for a while, she almost wanted to give Li Si a call, but at that moment she heard the sound of a car stopping outside. She quickly put her phone away and went towards the entrance.

As expected, the man was slowly walking towards her under the rain.

“Why are you so late? You left your phone with me.” Xi Xiaye was concerned as Mu Yuchen just climbed the staircase.

Mu Yuchen handed his briefcase to her as he took the home sandals from her. He asked while he changed, “We got into a traffic jam on the way back. Why is it so quiet at home? Where’s our son?”

“Grandmother brought him back to the Mu residence. Lingshi is in a pretty unstable state right now, so I told them to just stay there. We’ll go and get him back on the weekend.”

“Okay, what did you make for dinner? I could smell it from the door.”

“Some of your favorite dishes. Let’s have dinner first.”
