After hanging up the phone, Mu Yuchen fell silent again. He sat alone on the sofa and closed his eyes to rest.

After who knew how long, he suddenly heard footsteps behind him.

“Master, Master Qi Is Here!”

The butler came to report.

Mu Yuchen then opened his heavy eyelids with some difficulty. He took a deep breath and replied, “Let him in.”

He replied as he bent down to pick up the cold water in front of him and drank a few mouthfuls. The cold sensation spread through his throat to every part of his body before he felt much more awake.

Not long after, the sound of footsteps could be heard. He turned his head to look and saw Qi Lei walking in.

“From the looks of you, Grandfather Mu doesn’t seem to be doing very well. How is he? Is he alright?”

Qi Lei sat down opposite Mu Yuchen and looked at him worriedly.

“He’s the same as always. Why are you here?”

Mu Yuchen poured Qi Lei a glass of water as he asked.

“I’m a little worried, so I came over to take a look. Looking at your haggard appearance... Where’s Xiaye?”

“She went upstairs. Ah Mo and Lingshi are up there too. It’s been a little rough these past few days. I saw what happened yesterday too. You shouldn’t have any worries now, right?” Mu Yuchen asked.

“I’m fine. You, on the other hand, just worry about your own matters. We’ll worry about our own matters. You don’t have to think too much. Grandfather Mu is blessed by the heavens. You’ll definitely be able to get through this.”

Qi Lei did not know how to console him, so he could only say that.

“It was fine before. This time, we might really not get through it. The doctor already told us to be mentally prepared.”

Mu Yuchen let out a long sigh and lowered his eyes. “Actually, I’ve already predicted that this day wouldn’t be too long. After Grandmother passed away, Grandfather’s condition hasn’t been very good.”

“Grandfather Mu and Grandmother Mu’s relationship was very deep. It’s very enviable, but...”

Qi Lei paused. He did not finish what he wanted to say.

“Some people who may not feel that important when they’re always by your side. Suddenly, one day, she left just like that. Suddenly, you’d feel empty in your heart. Perhaps this is how Grandfather feels. Xiaye has been very worried these past few days, so she hasn’t been to the company for a long time. She brought the children to guard, hoping to make grandfather feel more spirited.”

“Perhaps life is like this. Some things, some people, when it’s time to return, no matter how hard we try, we still can’t keep them. You don’t have to be too sad. If this day really comes, I believe Grandfather Mu won’t have any regrets.”

As Qi Lei said this, he turned to look at the gloomy Mu Yuchen and patted him on the shoulder.

Mu Yuchen nodded. A bitter smile appeared on his face as he patted the back of his hand, “Don’t worry. I know what to do. I’ll have to trouble you to take care of the matters in City B and the South River Project. I’m afraid I won’t be able to spare so much energy to deal with these matters in this period of time. Vice President Liu said that the matters in City B had been resolved very well, and President Li had called to inform me. Thank you for your hard work...”

Qi Lei waved his hand when Mu Yuchen said this. “Alright, let’s save these pleasantries for someone else. Who asked us to be buddies? I’ll take care of business matters. Don’t worry.”

“Mmm, with you taking care of it, I’ll naturally be at ease.”

As Mu Yuchen said this, he suddenly stood up and looked at Qi Lei—

“Accompany me to the backyard for a walk.”

Qi Lei was silent for a moment. When he saw that he had already turned around, he stood up and followed him out.

The grass in the backyard was also a little yellow. Although City Z was not as distinct as the four seasons in the north, it was late autumn now, so the weather was a little cold. The moment they turned around the corridor, a cold wind blew over.

Qi Lei subconsciously tightened his windbreaker and quietly walked beside Mu Yuchen. The two of them walked side by side.

The chrysanthemums in the courtyard bloomed just right. A large area of chrysanthemums had been planted by Wang Hui when she was still alive. Now that the flowers bloomed just right, she was no longer around.

“I know you’re feeling depressed too, but I’m afraid we can’t change these things. Just accept it.”

After walking for a long distance, Qi Lei suddenly stopped. He turned around and leaned against the railing beside him as he looked at Mu Yuchen.

When he heard this, Mu Yuchen also stopped walking and turned to look at him.

“Don’t worry about these things. I called you out because I wanted to talk to you about your matters.” Mu Yuchen said solemnly.

“About my matters?”

Qi Lei narrowed his eyes and looked at Mu Yuchen.

Mu Yuchen nodded calmly, “It’s a good thing that you announced the matter between you and Dongfang Liuyun yesterday. I’ve already gotten Li Si to respond at the first possible moment, and Zhou Zimo’s side should have supported you as well. Also, I know about some dramatic inside information that happened at Dongfang Group’s shareholders’ meeting yesterday. Don’t you want to explain it?”

Mu Yuchen’s tone was meaningful when he asked this.

Qi Lei raised his brows and looked at him wickedly. “What do I have to explain?”

“I didn’t think anything was wrong after the Lin Corporation incident, but there were too many logical follow ups. The one who benefited the most was Dongfang Liuyun, so I had to be suspicious. You and I are both very sensitive to these things, aren’t we?”

Mu Yuchen was very sharp, so he could naturally smell something unusual.

Qi Lei listened but did not say anything. He just looked at Mu Yuchen calmly as a smile flashed across his handsome face.

“You’re very familiar with the people from the underground casino.”

Mu Yuchen’s words were very certain.

“I know what you mean. Don’t worry. I know what I’m doing. Didn’t you always let Ah Mo work in the underground before? How can we all be innocent? I’m not that naive.”

“Alright, since that’s the case, I won’t say anymore. Just be careful. Also, I’ve helped you find out about the Fujiwara family. I’ll send the findings to your email tonight. Find some time to take a look. In order for you and Dongfang Liuyun to have less trouble in the future, you need to get to know his background. Bro, I’m afraid this battle of yours is going to be very difficult.”

When Mu Yuchen said this, his tired eyes were filled with worry.

“Even if it’s difficult, I’ll have to fight. I know that. I can’t let her leave me, otherwise...”

Qi Lei said sadly, but he did not continue.

Mu Yuchen looked at him for a long time before he asked, “You care about her a lot.”

“Don’t you care about Xiaye a lot too? I feel like I can’t control myself anymore, Ah Chen...”

“You love her.”
