C396 Funeral
Mu Xiaoyou looked straight ahead. Once she exited the temple, she came to the bustling street of snacks. There were people selling jade artifacts and souvenirs on the street. She didn't care what Zhan Yufei was feeling and headed straight for the mask shop. It was as if the things that had just been said were nothing more than a daily meal.
Walking up to a stall selling souvenirs, she picked up a pair of hearts carved out of wood and said, "This inscription is flying, this inscription is serene."
Zhan Yufei stood behind her and looked at her order, but did not say anything to stop her. Mu Xiaoyou was very happy to do such a thing, and he silently accepted her happiness.
Soon, the inscription was finished. Mu Xiaoyou gave 10 yuan to Zhan Yufei and passed him the Peach Blossom Necklace with the character carved on it. Her eyes were filled with anticipation.
If he really chose not to take the necklace, he would be unwilling to accept her kind intentions.
Mu Xiaoyou's hand was a little tired. Since Zhan Yufei didn't move, she kept holding this peach core souvenir.
After a while, Zhan Yufei took the "Nether Character Peach Heart" from her hands with a helpless look in his eyes.
"You, you know what this means right?" Mu Xiaoyou asked him innocently.
Two words, 'love', meant that the relationship between the two of them was a couple.
Zhan Yufei put the love in his pocket, while his eyes revealed a trace of a doting look. It's time for lunch. "
Traces of hope burned in Mu Xiaoyou's eyes. As she watched him put his love into his pocket, the warmth in her heart grew even stronger. He agreed!
"I want to eat crab bean curd." Mu Xiaoyou held his hand happily and skipped forward.
The doting look in Zhan Yufei's eyes became more obvious. He tightened his grip on his palm and held her hand even tighter.
"..."
After Mu Family was reported to the police, the results were insignificant. The clues about the foreign lands were completely cut off, and the result was that Mu Qingqing had barged into the forbidden grounds. No one dared to enter that place, and the person who went in might not even have a skeleton left behind.
Mu Anren, who received the news, looked at the four words on the return slip in shock, and a chill went down his spine.
There was indeed retribution for doing bad things, and now, retribution had fallen on his family.
Mu Anren sighed and shook his head. He didn't have any strength left to get the receipt report.
After sitting in his office for the whole afternoon, he picked up his landline phone and called Old Master Mu. The sky had already darkened, and a cold autumn wind blew into the house. Mu Anren felt very cold, but he did not get up to put on his clothes.
"Qing Qing has broken into the forbidden area of Country H. That place is a no-man's land. No one can enter to save her." As Mu Anren spoke, his voice became softer and softer, as if he no longer had the strength to speak.
Mu Xiutan was silent for three seconds, and then said: "In order to conduct a solemn funeral, I will carve a tablet for her and place it in the ancestral grave of Mu Family."
This was how he, his grandfather, would send Mu Qingqing off in the end.
Mu Anren surprisingly did not argue with Ye Zichen. Mu Anren let out a "En" and finally agreed to this matter.
Thus, after looking for Mu Qingqing to show her the date of the funeral and the location of the tombstone, he invited everyone to a large scale funeral for Mu Qingqing. Everyone in the vicinity knew that Mu Family had already died, and all of this could be considered settled.
The words engraved on the tombstone were the tombstone of his beloved daughter, Mu Qingqing. Everyone on Mu Family knew that Mu Anren had lost his eldest daughter Mu Qingqing, and they all sighed on his behalf.
Mu Xiutan's gaze darkened. He had lost a smart granddaughter, but the problem wasn't too big. He could still choose one of the Mu Family's descendents to be the next generation's successor.
In the dead of night, Mu Anren actually couldn't remember what Mu Qingqing looked like. Busy work allowed him to quickly forget some sad things, so that a year later, when he saw his daughter again, he was unable to recognize her in time.
Seeing that Mu Anren and Mu Xiutan had given up on Mu Qingqing, Su Cuiyun chased Mo Xiaoyun out of the hospital and sent him to the orphanage. Towards this matter, Sun Tie could only turn a blind eye. After all, this child was picked up by Mu Qingqing, and other than being more intimate with Mu Qingqing, he wasn't the slightest bit related to Mu Family. If they were to split the property in the future, Mo Xiaoyun would have to pay for it as well, and it would be unfair to Mu Yichen and Mu Xiaoyou.
Fortunately, Mo Xiaoyun ran away after going to the orphanage. His body was dirty as he ran to the front door of the Mo family and stared at them. Seeing his pitiful appearance, Ren Xinru immediately brought him back home. After knowing the reason, she no longer had any good feelings towards Su Cuiyun and Mu Anren, and didn't even have the mood to scold Mu Family.
She only said to Mo Xiaoyun, "Auntie, this is your home. Your surname is Mo, you can call me mom from now on. As long as I'm here, you won't be kicked out."
Mo Xiaoyun was so touched that tears started to flow from his eyes. From then on, he called Ren Xinru 'mother'.1
The roses on the Zhaoxi City roof bloomed again and again, and in the blink of an eye, Mu Qingqing had already disappeared for a year.
Mu Family compared to the past, the house's decoration was even more exquisite, and Mu Anren also accepted the news of Mu Qingqing's accidental death. In the entire Mu Family, other than Mo Xiaoyun, who always remembered that Mu Qingqing was still missing, even the number of times Mu Yichen recalled his past had been reduced to once a season.
Time was cruel. He would gradually forget about many people and many things. When Mu Yichen was staring at the game interface on his computer, he could no longer remember the day when he was playing games with Mu Qingqing in the Internet Cafe.
During this year, the business of Mu Family rose day by day, Mu Anren also neglected the matter of not seeing Mo Xiaohe for a long time, many people did not even remember that the Mo family even had a son with strong momentum.
It just so happened that on the day that thunder rumbled and Mu Qingqing disappeared, Zhaoxi City held a business gathering, which was also attended by foreign merchants.
If Mu Anren wanted to do business with foreign trade in Mu Family Group, he naturally had to participate in such a ball.
He wore a decent blue-gray suit with a neat bow tie and a radiant face. He was holding a glass of wine and walking back and forth between the successful people. The smile on his face never faded. "Originally, he didn't need to make so much money out of Mu Family, but if he wanted to develop even more, he would have no choice but to save up all kinds of booze for his family.
It was said that this time, there was a wealthy businessman who specialized in foreign trade. The scale of the business was enormous. If he could reach this level, he could save a lot of time running errands.
In his speech at the opening ceremony of the ball, Mu Anren had set his sharp eyes on a man with the image of a Confucian businessman. He had participated in all sorts of reception, and he was already familiar with most of the circles around the room due to the Zhaoxi City. He could tell with a single glance how many unfamiliar faces were present at this reception.
When the Confucian businessman went onstage to address the audience, a 1.7m girl followed behind him. She wore a plain white chiffon dress, and although she was thin, she had a bit of temperament to her.
Mu Anren's gaze only briefly swept over the skinny girl, focusing entirely on the man with the image of a Confucian businessman.
At the end of the speech, the merchant walked to the side of the girl. The girl helped him off the stage politely and glanced in Mu Anren's direction, only to find that his gaze was focused on the merchant.
Mu Anren walked over with a glass of wine, his mind was thinking about how to win over the Confucian businessman earlier. The shaking red liquid slightly splashed up before entering the cup again. Mu Anren placed the wine cup on the table and respectfully looked at the Confucian businessman in front of him.
At such a reception, it would be rude to directly talk to other people. The person in charge of speaking up for Mu Anren was naturally a merchant with quite a bit of Zhaoxi City.
"This is the CEO of Mu Family Group, Mu Anren." The introducer only introduced him once, but didn't say what Mu Anren's family did. He wanted them to open up a conversation.
Elder Hua glanced at Mu Qingqing and noticed that her expression was still indifferent from beginning to end, without any superfluous emotions.
"Oh, the Mu Family sure is well-off." Elder Hua said straightforwardly.
The face of the person who introduced him turned awkward. He quickly continued: "This is Elder Hua, who is in the export business of foreign trade."
"Hello, hello." Mu Anren stretched out his hand and smiled at Elder Hua.
Elder Hua glanced at Mu Anren's outstretched hand. His hands, which were originally placed on the sides of his pockets, were suddenly placed behind his back.
This time, not only was the introducer embarrassed, Mu Anren was also very embarrassed.
However, in the end, Mu Anren was someone who was very shrewd in business. He retracted his hand and wondered why this foreign businessman had such a clear hostility towards him. His Mu Family had never offended anyone in the outside world either.
Mu Qingqing's gaze did not stay on Mu Anren clearly, so she was completely ignored by Mu Anren.
"The furniture and wood of Mu Family are famous in the country. The quality is good and the price is also cheap. Mr. Hua is in the export business. The introducer wanted to try his best to salvage the awkward situation, so he spoke up for Mu Anren.
"Mr. Hua, this way, please." Mu Anren restrained his smile and gestured Elder Hua to a quiet place to discuss things.
Elder Hua's gaze swept across Elder Hua's face. He sneered in his heart. He really knows how to find people to do business. It's already so awkward, yet he still wants to do business.
"I don't think we need to cooperate. I don't have any intentions to start a timber business right now." Elder Hua directly refused.
Mu Anren stared at the Confucian businessman Elder Hua. Being rejected was indeed very embarrassing, but Elder Hua had always been refined and refined in other people's opinions.
"May I ask why?" Mu Anren wanted to understand the crux of the matter. After all, Elder Hua's export business was quite big, and many people who went overseas to do this trade would have to go through Elder Hua. If it wasn't for that, he wouldn't have specially gone to find Elder Hua.
