His Beloved Treasure

Chapter 2164: Chapter 627: One Year Later (4) Still Entangled_2

Chengcheng spoke again, but he wasn’t as proud as before.

Qin Mu’s scrutinizing gaze made him a bit scared too, and he unconsciously lowered his head, not daring to look Qin Mu in the eye.

”Didn’t we agree a long time ago not to accept gifts from others lightly? Especially money!”

Qin Mu gently reminded him, but her expression was already very serious.

”I originally accepted this card to plan with my sister to buy a ticket to Paris to find you.”

Chengcheng’s voice immediately softened, as if he had been frightened.

Qin Mu suddenly couldn’t say a word of reproach, were the siblings actually planning to secretly visit her?

After leaving the office building, the mother and son returned, intending to have a simple meal at a nearby wonton shop and gather in the evening, but Chengcheng refused and insisted that Qin Mu go to AM.

Helian Hao whispered in her ear, ”Your son, isn’t he different from before?”

Qin Mu smiled helplessly, thinking, indeed!

But she remembered Mu Yichen’s words and thought, could Chengcheng’s injury on his arm really be from his own doing?

On this trip back...

Qin Mu couldn’t help but carefully scrutinize Qin Mingzhu and Helian Hao, but quickly decided that they were unlikely to be colluding with the child to deceive her. If she could mistakenly believe her son was being abused, these two women could do it even more.

Wang Li said that Xiang Hang had been working as Huanhuan’s bodyguard this year and hadn’t been idle. Qin Mu was a bit surprised upon hearing this but couldn’t help but smile.

”Actually, I speculate that President Mu arranged things like this because he was waiting for you to come back.”

After everyone found a seat and sat down for a chat, Wang Li said to her.

”Why would he wait for me? He’s living quite comfortably now.”

Thinking of the girl’s name he called, Qin Mu felt a deep, unremovable thorn in her heart, causing her great discomfort.

”I heard that it was Madam Mu’s decision; President Mu doesn’t really like that woman.”

Wang Li added.

”If he doesn’t like her, why does he let that woman go to the Mu Mansion every day?”

Qin Mingzhu wasn’t convinced.

”It was my grandmother who invited her, not my dad.”

Chengcheng listened to Qin Mingzhu’s words, feeling a bit distressed, and explained in a soft and unimpressive manner.

Qin Mu gently touched his back, realizing he still sided with his father, feeling a bit relieved yet helpless at the same time. With things like this, could she take him away?

”So what if your grandmother invited her? Your father’s temper is so big. If he didn’t like her, and said something unpleasant, would that woman still dare to come?”

Qin Mingzhu started arguing with Chengcheng.

”Enough, can’t you say a bit less?”

Qin Mu helplessly reminded Qin Mingzhu, thinking how old are you to still be unable to hold back?

Qin Mingzhu pouted, ”Fine, I’ll say less.”

Chengcheng noticed that Aunt Mingzhu obviously wanted to say more, but with his mother present, he wasn’t worried about Aunt Mingzhu’s big mouth.

”But this Chen Xiaoyi, I wonder whose offspring she is, so mysterious, we can’t figure out her background.”

Helian Hao thought for a bit and murmured.

Qin Mu heard that name again, but the feeling was completely different from when Mu Yichen mentioned it.

”Why bother figuring out her background? Don’t concern yourself with Mu Yichen and Chen Xiaoyi’s matters. My main reason for returning this time is to deal with the siblings’ affairs, and then I’ll leave!”

Qin Mu said, glancing at Chengcheng, and ended by smiling at him.

”Mom, if you leave, take us with you. Anyway, I don’t want to be with Dad. He’s always got a cold face, not as cute as you, Mom.”

Chengcheng immediately expressed his determination.

Qin Mu couldn’t help but laugh, and Qin Mingzhu, Helian Hao, and Wang Li found the child’s words surprisingly mature and opinionated.

After lunch, Qin Mu went to pay the bill, but a manager approached them from behind: ”Young Madam, your bill was covered by Mr. Yichen!”

Qin Mu looked up, a bit puzzled, but then put the card away.

”Then thank Mr. Yichen for me, just don’t call me Young Madam next time.”

Qin Mu gently smiled as she spoke to the manager.

Qin Mingzhu and the others felt uncomfortable hearing Qin Mu’s words, but only Qin Mu herself seemed to accept it so calmly.

”Yes!”

The manager agreed, not disturbing them further.

”Dad is actually dining here too, it’s certainly because Mom is here.”

Chengcheng suddenly sighed helplessly, drawing out his words like a little adult.
