A female character in a book, regaining her luck

When Mu Xingjian returned to the villa, the old lady was working in the garden. Every blade of grass, every tree and every flower here was meticulously taken care of by the old lady.

While helping, he reported everything to the old lady, and then he stopped talking, like a student waiting for instructions from his teacher.

Under the old lady's scissors, the roses that had been growing wildly became regular, their sloppy temperament suddenly disappeared, and their noble posture complemented the magnificent Mu family villa.

Putting down the scissors, the old lady did not look at Mu Xingjian, but admired her own masterpiece and asked nonchalantly: "Why don't you clean up after it?"

"I don't think there's any need for a cleanup."

As if he had anticipated that the old lady would not ask any questions, Mu Xingjian immediately said, "The fact that she chose to sell you a bag instead of offering her hand speaks volumes."

Old Lady Mu neither shook her head nor nodded, but changed the subject.

"What do you think of the Zhu family?"

"After professional evaluation, Zhu's Industry..."

Old Lady Mu waved her hand and interrupted Mu Xingjian.

"I'm not asking you about your business opinion."

Mu Xingjian's expression showed no sign of speculation or thought, like an emotionless robot.

"After a professional investigation, Zhu Chishan has behaved well in his private life. So far, no personal moral violations have been found. As for work, according to feedback from partners..."

"It's not a good thing to learn to pretend to be ignorant when you are young."

Old Mrs. Mu couldn't help but sigh, feeling quite helpless.

"I'm asking you what's going on in your mind."

Mu Xingjian's face was as dull as usual, but his answer was not as quick and spontaneous as before. Instead, he hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"Chairman, what bystanders think is irrelevant."

Old Lady Mu glanced at Mu Xingjian and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

She knew that her grandson looked gentle and easy-going on the surface, but was actually very stubborn.

He refused to answer any questions, and even if she used her identities as grandmother and chairman, she couldn't ask a single word.

When it comes to stubbornness, the two siblings are exactly alike!

"Since there is no objection, let's start implementing and promoting cooperation with the Zhu family," Old Lady Mu added, "It's time for the two children to meet each other. In your opinion, when is the right time?"

"The cooperation and engagement are being pushed forward at the same time, so it would be best if we could have double happiness at that time."

Although Mu Xingjian's face was slightly gloomy and his eyelids drooped while he was speaking, he did not reveal any obvious emotions. At first glance, it seemed that he just didn't care about the engagement and cooperation.

For the Mu family, engagement and cooperation are both business matters.

In the business world, the Mu family is the one that holds the initiative, and engagement is no exception, so of course they must be pushed forward at the same time.

Upon hearing this, Old Lady Mu laughed, looking pleased.

"Xingjian, you are really becoming more and more experienced! Then I will listen to you. I will let the two children meet next week, and you can come too."

Mu Xingjian frowned. Old Lady Mu saw his displeasure and put on a faint smile.

Since it was a business cooperation, how could he, as the boss, not attend? She was sure that the child would not refuse.

As she expected, Mu Xingjian nodded unwillingly.

As the sky darkened, Old Lady Mu began to mutter about Mu Chaosheng. Speak of Cao Cao, here comes Cao Cao.

At this time, Mu Chaosheng came over from a distance, his steps so cheerful that it seemed as if he was about to jump up and down.

"grandmother!"

Mu Chaosheng glanced at Mu Xingjian from the corner of her eye, and saw a hint of bitterness and depression in his cold expression. If it weren't for her good eyesight, she would have suspected that she was hallucinating.

Was he pruned harshly by Old Lady Mu like these roses?

But the old lady looked very happy, and didn’t seem to be conflicted.

"What have you been doing out all day?" asked the old lady.

"Grandma, I did something big today. Can you guess what it was?"

Old Lady Mu glanced at Mu Xingjian, laughed heartily and shook her head, "Grandma can't guess it!"

Mu Chaosheng rubbed the old lady's arm mysteriously, like a coquettish puppy.

"I knew grandma couldn't guess it. I won't tell you now, but you will know after a while!"

"Oh, it's still a secret! Don't scare grandma when the time comes!"

"Grandma, you really know how to joke. I promise it's a surprise!"

The old lady was skeptical about the upcoming surprise, but with Mu Xingjian watching her, she was not too worried.

"A Chao, guess what grandma was talking to Xing Jian about just now?"

Mu Chaosheng thought of Mu Xingjian's bitter expression just now, and guessed that he must have done something wrong in the company and was scolded by the old lady.

"I guess it must be a business matter!"

Old Mrs. Mu shook her head.

Since it's either business or family matters, Mu Chaosheng really couldn't think of what these two people could talk about when talking about family matters.

Suddenly, she had a flash of inspiration and thought of something. She asked tentatively, "Grandma, you were not talking about the Zhu family just now, were you?"

"Our Ah Chao is so smart!" Old Lady Mu saw that Mu Chaosheng's mood suddenly became low, "Is my dear granddaughter going to regret it?"

It's a joke, but also a test.

Mu Chaosheng smiled awkwardly, "Grandma, don't worry, I promise I won't embarrass you or make you worry. I'm just a little sad to think about leaving you. Don't you feel reluctant to leave me?"

When Old Lady Mu heard this, she felt more and more that her granddaughter had really returned. Her eyes suddenly soured, "Silly child, of course grandma can't bear to let you go, but a girl should get married when she grows up, and now there is a suitable good family, I can't delay you."

Mu Chaosheng snuggled up to Grandma Mu's shoulder and said playfully, "A Chao understands, everything is up to Grandma's orders!"

The picture of the grandparents and grandchildren getting along well with each other is very heartwarming, but Zhu Xingjian, who stands aside like a piece of wood, somewhat spoils the scene.

Mu Chaosheng couldn't help but look at him, and remembered that Mu Xingjian seemed a little strange just now.

Could it be that there were some factors that caused Mu Xingjian and Old Lady Mu to have different opinions on her marriage with the Zhu family?

Come to think of it, it’s only business matters.

Maybe Mu Xingjian felt that it was not cost-effective to use the Mu family's real money just to get a crazy daughter married. It was a complete loss-making business.

Mu Xingjian noticed Mu Chaosheng's gaze and looked back. The moment their eyes met, their inquiring gazes paused for a moment.

Mu Chaosheng immediately looked away, but she could feel Mu Xingjian's gaze was still on her. That cold look made her feel like there was a thorn in her throat and a thorn in her back, and her heart was filled with goosebumps.

Later, when she couldn't stand it anymore and was about to glare back, Mu Xingjian looked away as if he had calculated the time.
