Chapter 45 - 45 His Biological Mother Comes Again
45 His Biological Mother Comes Again
Duan Si mentally prepared herself the entire night. Accompanied by Song Nan, she appeared at Mu Ci’s house early in the morning. Behind her were the chauffeur and servants, carrying boxes of all kinds of supplements and dishes.
Mu Chen frowned at her.
Duan Si welcomed him with a smile. “Dad, I got someone to prepare supplements for you and Mu Ci. There are sea cucumbers, abalones, and all kinds of mountain delicacies. Mu Ci has yet to recover from his illness and you’re already old. This place is not like the old residence. How can there be such a complete set of things? I’ve gotten someone to prepare everything suitable for the two of you.”
Mu Chen’s expression softened.
Duan Si called over two middle-aged maids. “Dad, I heard that the servants here have changed. I’m afraid they haven’t been trained yet, right? Liu Ming has always been unreliable. I picked two honest and serious maids from our old residence and asked them to come here to help. There has to be some people who know the rules!”
Mu Chen said calmly, “Leave the things behind. There’s no need for them. Go back to the old residence. We have enough people here. You don’t have to worry.”
Duan Si was stunned.
Song Nan pulled her gently from behind, and Duan Si’s smile immediately returned to her face. “Yes, I’ll listen to Dad. You guys can go back with the chauffeur later.”
Mu Chen nodded in satisfaction.
Duan Si glanced at Song Nan. As expected, Song Nan’s idea was the best. Old Master had always been amenable to coaxing but not coercion. It was all her fault for being too impatient. Fortunately, it was not too late to salvage the situation.
Hence, she sat down elegantly. “Dad, Mu Ci is already an adult, yet you still have to worry about him. I really feel bad. Why don’t you go back to the old residence? I’ll stay behind to take care of Mu Ci.”
Mu Chen glanced at her expressionlessly.
Duan Si hurriedly said, “Dad, I was wrong previously. I was just too concerned. Mu Ci is my son. How can I not dote on him? He’s been throwing a tantrum at me, but I’m his mother and won’t argue with him. I want to stay and take good care of him.”
Mu Chen looked at his daughter-in-law. Her 180-degree change in attitude was too inconsistent with her usual behavior. He knew her personality very well. He did not know whose idea she had heard this time.
Duan Si looked at him eagerly. He said calmly, “There’s no need. Mu Ci is fine now, and I don’t need to take care of him. Bei Shuo is a very capable child. He doesn’t need me to worry. You won’t be able to help even if you stay. You should go back and take good care of Mu En. Don’t let him mess around outside. Now that he has established his reputation as a playboy, it won’t do him any good in the future.”
At the mention of her youngest son, Duan Si hurriedly defended him. “Dad, don’t worry. Mu En is a good child. He has a lively personality and is good-looking. It’s inevitable for him to be popular with girls. Don’t worry, I’m watching over him. I won’t let him mess around. I definitely won’t allow some messy women to pester him and enter our Mu Family!”
These words seemed to imply something.
Mu Chen glanced at her and remained silent.
“Young Master Mu!” The servant’s respectful voice came from the staircase.
Mu Ci drove the wheelchair downstairs.
Seeing Duan Si, he greeted him calmly, “Hi, Mom.”
She nodded at Song Nan.
Then, he approached Mu Chen. “Grandpa, did you sleep well last night?”
Mu Chen beamed. “Good, very good! I have to thank Bei Shuo!”
Duan Si and Song Nan looked at each other in confusion. They didn’t understand why Mu Chen had to thank Bei Shuo for sleeping well.
“Young Master Mu, your stylist is here.” A servant came in to report.
Mu Ci nodded. “Invite him in.”
Mu Ci’s personal stylist was called Chen Hai. He was as handsome as a male model and made people like him at first glance. He greeted everyone with a neither servile nor overbearing demeanor, then looked at Mu Ci. “I heard that you’re sick again. Your hair is growing quite fast. How do you want it cut?”
It was obvious that they were very familiar with each other.
Mu Ci’s expression was very calm. “My wife said that this length is quite good. Let’s keep it unchanged and do a simple trim.”
“Wife?” Chen Hai was stunned.
Mu Ci nodded and said calmly, “As for her hair, you have to help her tidy it up. She’ll start school in a few days.”
Chen Hai felt that he could hear a trace of smugness and bragging in Mu Ci’s voice. He felt that it should be his imagination. Mu Ci was cold on the outside and cold on the inside. He did not seem to have any feelings of smugness, let alone showing off such a mortal emotion.
“You’re married? When did this happen? Why haven’t I heard of it?” Chen Hai asked what he was thinking in a daze.
Mu Ci smiled and instructed Xiaobai, who was standing at the side, “Invite Young Madam Mu over.”
