Mu Ruicheng opened the door and looked at the man at the desk who was carefully flipping through documents, his eldest brother Mu Shaoling.
The heater was on in the study, and he was only wearing a black shirt. The black shirt completely highlighted his mature and restrained aura.
Looking from his angle, he could just see the two long legs of his eldest brother overlapping each other.
It has to be said that Mu Shaoling's rigorous work attitude is not ordinary charming.
Murui Cheng lamented again that people are really different. If he hadn't been a man, he would have fallen in love with his elder brother.
His eldest brother is really a workaholic. Even during the holidays, he is still dealing with official matters. And he will find it a kind of torture to stay at the desk for half an hour. The eldest brother is indeed an idol worthy of his worship.
As if aware of Mu Ruicheng's overly complicated gaze, Mu Shaoling raised his head and saw that it was Mu Ruicheng. He lowered his head naturally and continued to concentrate on his official duties.
It was noon, the sun was shining brightly, and the bright light came in from the floor-to-ceiling windows and fell all over Mu Shaoling, making his exquisite and unparalleled face look even more handsome and elegant.
Although he had long known that his eldest brother had a good appearance that was more popular with women than him, at this moment, Mu Ruicheng still couldn't help but be stunned.
He called out in a low voice: "Brother."
Mu Shaoling glanced at him with her deep and sharp eyes, then lit a cigarette for herself, and then asked: "How is your mother?"
Mu Shaoling naturally knew about Cai Xiufen's sudden fainting.
Unlike Zhang Yali who was gloating over her misfortune, he fulfilled his due responsibilities as a junior in the Mu family. Although he did not visit in person, he sent Si Yao to check Cai Xiufen's body.
Regarding the dark things that Cai Xiufen had done to her, although Mu Shaoling chose not to pursue them after Mr. Mu's plea, she couldn't feel relieved. Especially, the car accident she designed nearly killed her.
He and Ruan Bai missed so many years of beautiful time, which he couldn't let go of.
But Mu Shaoling understood that if his mother had not intervened in Cai Xiufen's marriage, the following series of tragedies would not have happened. He can understand her extremely hateful mood, which is why he has always tolerated her.
reasons.
He wanted to atone for his mother's sins.
"My mother fell asleep after taking medicine. Si Yao said that she had a mental illness and needed psychological counseling and treatment. Brother, I'm sorry..."
Mu Ruicheng looked at Mu Shaoling, his eyes filled with guilt.
He knew his mother well and knew that what she said today was probably true.
If the car accident was really caused by his mother, then the loving mother he always thought was really strange and scary to him.
At that time, my eldest brother was still a teenager. How twisted and vicious a woman must be to be able to kill an innocent boy?
Mu Shaoling put down the documents in his hand and took a puff of cigarette.
Looking at Mu Ruicheng, who looked not quite right, he asked with concern: "What's wrong? There seems to be something wrong with you today."
Murui Cheng stopped his old cynicism and suddenly became serious: "Brother, I have decided that after the Chinese New Year, I will go to the company to help you."
Mu Shaoling blew out a smoke ring, and the man's exquisite eyes were filled with deep meaning: "Ruicheng, you are helping in the company now."
Murui Cheng was too ashamed to look into his elder brother's eyes.
He took a breath, clenched his fists, and made up his mind: "Brother, I'm not joking this time, what I said is true."
Under the pressure of his grandfather, although he went to the company, he was always idle. Even when he went to work, he spent three days fishing and two days drying nets. Not to mention helping his elder brother, he would be good if he didn't hold him back.
.
But now, after learning some of his mother's secrets, Mu Ruicheng felt filled with guilt for Mu Shaoling.
Seeing that his eldest brother was almost breathless under the heavy workload every day, he really wanted to share some of his work with him.
"Well, brother believes in you."
Although Mu Shaoling didn't know what exactly Murui Cheng was up to, he was still very happy about his change.
He doted on his younger half-brother who was more playful.
Murui Cheng breathed a sigh of relief.
He looked at the gold watch on his wrist and suddenly thought of the banquet he was going to attend: "Brother, I won't tell you for now. I'm going to attend Secretary Lin's daughter's birthday party tonight."
Mu Shaoling stopped smoking and raised his eyebrows slightly: "The daughter of the Lin family? That Lin Ning?"
Murui Cheng: "Well, Secretary Lin and Mrs. Lin sent out invitations to Lin Ning's 22nd birthday party, and I also received one."
Mu Shaoling didn't say a word.
This kind of thing is especially popular in the upper class society. Whenever the son or daughter of a wealthy family celebrates their birthday, the family will hold a banquet for them. The purpose is obvious, which is to gain connections.
In fact, he also received an invitation from Lin Ning, but he threw the invitation in the corner and forgot about it afterwards.
He has never liked lively occasions like that, and he will not attend ordinary banquets, unless they are social events that are really unavoidable.
But today, Mu Shaoling suddenly became interested because he thought of the injustice Ruan Bai suffered at the Lin family.
Mu Shaoling slowly raised his lips, and the silver lighter flickered on and off under his fingers: "I'll go there tonight, too."
…
At about six o'clock in the evening, when it was getting dark, an eye-catching black Rolls-Royce was speeding towards the Lin family villa.
Because it was the cold winter season, the scenery along the way was a bit bleak, but because it was dotted with snow, it looked quite beautiful.
Ruan Bai sat in the back seat of the car and looked outside through the car window.
Thinking of meeting her "love rival" later, her expression became tense subconsciously.
She actually didn't quite understand why Mu Shaoling took her to Lin Ning's birthday party at Lin's house when he knew she didn't like Lin Ning.
Moreover, last time, she had a verbal dispute with Mrs. Lin and ended up breaking up unhappy. She believed that the Lin family would not welcome her.
"We're here." The driver's voice sounded, breaking Ruan Bai's random thoughts.
The driver respectfully opened the rear door.
Mu Shaoling got out of the car first, and then he gently protected Ruan Bai's waist and head and helped him down.
In front of the Lin family's single-family villa, there are many luxury cars, and the exquisite carved wrought iron door is wide open, grandly welcoming guests from all directions.
From the courtyard to the door, there is a long red carpet, which extends to the hall.
At a glance, the hall is full of celebrities from the political and business circles, as well as some big names in the entertainment industry.
Mu Shaoling walked down the red carpet with Ruan Bai in her arms, attracting countless eyes along the way.
There were many high-ranking officials, business elites and others who kept saying hello to Mu Shaoling.
Ruan Bai loves to read news and financial magazines, and she has an excellent memory. She found that most of the people who greeted Mu Shaoling often appeared in city A news and financial magazines.
She had to lament that this man's network was so powerful.
Ruan Bai followed Mu Shaoling all the way and felt that his smiling face was almost stiff. Then he saw in the Lin family banquet hall a group of well-dressed rich people, as well as well-known celebrities in the film and television industry.
