Quite awkward

When Mu Luowen and his men arrived at the scene, they only saw a man's body and a young boy squatting beside the body, crying sadly.

He was a step late.

The group of people originally just wanted to kidnap Mu Yanqing, but they never thought that he had a driver who was willing to risk his life for his employer.

In order to protect Mu Yanqing, Qi Jianhong fought against many opponents alone, but his ability was limited and he was eventually brutally beaten to death by several tough guys.

Later, they saw a convoy coming towards them from afar. They realized that they had made a big mistake in a moment of impulsiveness and quickly returned to the car to evacuate the scene.

Mu Yanqing was not hurt at all in this incident, but he was left with eternal pain and regret deep in his heart.

After the incident, Mu Yanqing took a leave of absence from school, not for any other reason but because he relied on the power of the Mu family to find out the mastermind and the criminal gang. After a long trial, these people were either sentenced to life imprisonment and never left prison for the rest of their lives, or were directly sentenced to death.

From that day on, Qi Yu became an orphan without a father or a mother.

Qi Jianhong is not only Mu Yanqing's driver, but also his close friend and his savior. The only thing Mu Yanqing can do is to take good care of his daughter.

Mu Yanqing hopes that his parents will adopt Qi Yu and let her become the third child of the Mu family.

Father Mu Luowen agreed, but was strongly opposed by mother Shen Shuang, and his younger brother Mu Chenan also resisted, saying that there must be other plans to accommodate Qi Yu, and he did not want to cause more trouble for the family.

Mu Yanqing didn't care about Mu Chenan's thoughts at all. He just wanted to know why Shen Shuang couldn't agree.

"Mom, if it weren't for Uncle Qi, I would have died long ago. He left behind this daughter. I have the responsibility to take good care of Qi Yu."

Shen Shuang is not ungrateful. The Mu family has plenty of money and has many ways to help a girl grow up smoothly.

It's just that the wealthy families are complicated and they value pure bloodline the most. She doesn't want a driver's daughter to become a member of her Mu family. A child who is not hers is not worthy of calling her mother.

Mu Yanqing couldn't resist Shen Shuang's insistence, so he found a couple among the servants at home and asked them to go through the procedures to adopt Qi Yu and become Qi Yu's nominal adoptive parents. In fact, Mu Yanqing would personally take care of her as she grew up.

Qi Yu, who had just lost her father, moved into the back building of the Mu family. Her adoptive father lived in his own home, her adoptive mother lived in a two-person dormitory on the first floor, and Qi Yu had a clean and tidy independent bedroom on the third floor, but she missed the simple time when she and her father squeezed into a small house of dozens of square meters.

Qi Yu's parents brought her into this world, but left one after another, leaving her to bear sadness and pain alone at such a young age. Is this the test she suffered in coming to this world?

The adoptive parents were Qi Jianhong's colleagues before. After they learned about Qi Yu's experience, they felt sorry for the little girl and took good care of her.

Qi Yu regarded the two as amiable elders. She had been calling them uncle and aunt over the years, and their relationship became close and natural. They are still in contact today.

In order to compensate Qi Yu, the Mu family sent her to a private aristocratic school since she was a child. If there were winter or summer camps for studying abroad, Mu Yanqing would always be the first to sign her up, no matter how expensive it was.

She has seen everything in the world, but her family background can never compare to that of her classmates. However, she never dwells on this and rarely has in-depth interactions with these rich kids.

Shen Shuang, the mistress of the Mu family, is rather cold and distant towards Qi Yu, but she will occasionally care about her life and let her tell the housekeeper if she is lacking anything, what she wants to eat, or what she wants, and she will never be deprived of her share.

Qi Yu was young at the time and didn't quite understand the subtext. Later, as she grew up, she realized that Shen Shuang didn't want her to trouble Mu Yanqing.

In addition to balancing his studies, Mu Yanqing also has to take care of a little girl who is eight years younger than him. However, he regards Qi Yu as his family, and he wants her to be happy more than anyone else.

Now thirty years old, Mu Yanqing can give Qi Yu the best life. He can buy her a house and a car. She doesn't have to work and doesn't have to worry about money. He can let her check in at different tourist attractions every day, go shopping as she pleases, and live the life that most girls yearn for.

But she didn't want any of these and dismissed him with a sentence saying that she just wanted to make money on her own.

Qi Yu felt that the Mu family had compensated her enough, and she couldn't stay there forever. Moreover, she had secret feelings for Mu Yanqing. When she turned 18 and was about to enter university, she found a suitable opportunity to move out of the Mu family.

After Qi Yu moved into the university dormitory, Mu Yanqing would take the initiative to see Qi Yu every three to five days. Sometimes he would take her out to dinner, and sometimes he would give her some food and clothes. He treated her no differently than before, and still showed concern from a brother.

As night falls, waiters push carts to serve the food.

Mu Yanqing pushed the Typhoon Shelter Fried Shrimp that Qi Yu loved to eat in front of her.

"Try it now. You've lost weight recently. Should you control your diet as an actor?"

Seeing him casually bringing up the topic, Qi Yu replied half-perfunctorily: "Actors should control their diet."

“Are you in control?”

"No, I don't gain weight easily." Qi Yu ate a few shrimps in a row. She deliberately lit up her eyes and pointed at the plate with her chopsticks.

"Mm, this is delicious, big brother, stop talking and eat quickly."

In fact, Mu Yanqing had not finished speaking.

It is summer vacation at the university now. He doesn't have to teach students, but he is still doing research.

His wedding is next month. During this meeting, he wanted to tell Qi Yu the date of the wedding so that she could set aside time in advance. However, he had said enough today, so he decided to put it aside for now.

He smiled dotingly at her, then picked up his chopsticks and lowered his head to eat.
