Chapter 1510 - 1522: Where Did Daddy the CEO Go? (13)
Su Li followed Mu Zhuoming into the Mu Family’s old house.
Mu Zhuoming’s parents were already sternly seated on the Huanghuali carved chairs, ready to receive them.
Their posture resembled that of ancestors in olden times, sitting in the chief seat to welcome their descendants kneeling before them.
The expressions on their faces were so serious that it made one’s heart tremble.
However....
Mu Zhuoming paused slightly as he entered the door, then continued without a glance to find a spot to sit casually.
Su Li, with keen eyes, noticed Mu Jiebang’s face twitch slightly while Liao Jinxiang’s straightened back slumped a bit in frustration.
Su Li almost burst into laughter.
These two old folks have probably forgotten their son’s cold nature.
Seeing that although Mu Zhuoming didn’t speak, his eyes clearly showed he understood, Mu Jiebang and Liao Jinxiang failed to assert their parental authority.
Su Li, fighting back laughter, also found a spot to sit casually, right across from Mu Zhuoming.
Liao Jinxiang: "....." She could tolerate her son being indifferent, but her daughter-in-law’s carefree attitude was unbearable.
"Su Li...." Liao Jinxiang called out in a steady tone.
Su Li replied energetically, "Hey, I’m here."
Liao Jinxiang: "....." Who asked if you were here?
After so long apart, she felt that her once gentle daughter-in-law was now like a prickly ball, impossible to handle.
Mu Zhuoming cast a cold glance at Su Li, noticing his mother’s impending eruption, he suddenly spoke, "Why did you call us back?"
Alas, children are debts, one always restrains the other.
Liao Jinxiang temporarily abandoned picking on Su Li, a hint of hurt flashed in her eyes.
She took a moment to prepare herself psychologically.
She knew her son’s nature well. Being petty would only give her grief.
Thinking this, Liao Jinxiang fiercely glared at Su Li, as if saying: You can’t even control your husband, how are you supposed to be a wife?
Su Li: "....." Don’t act rashly, impulsiveness is the devil. These foolish mortals wouldn’t withstand a single slap from her.
Mu Zhuoming was becoming quite impatient.
Mu Jiebang threw a folder at Mu Zhuoming while meaningfully saying to Su Li, "You should take a look with Zhuo Ming too."
"We can discuss how to handle this matter as a family. But I only have one request, no child from the Mu Family should be left outside."
Mu Jiebang kept his gaze fixed on Su Li, not missing any expression on her face.
"Dad, even though the Su Family nurtures people, I’ve recently become more beautiful, but you looking at me like that... doesn’t seem appropriate," said Su Li in a normal tone, causing an uproar. At the end, she even gave Mu Jiebang a smile.
Liao Jinxiang was momentarily stunned, nearly spitting blood.
She directly pinched the soft flesh on Mu Jiebang’s waist.
Mu Zhuoming’s reaction was more intense; he squeezed the folder in his hand until it deformed.
In the dictionary, there’s a word called incestuous...
Mu Zhuoming glared at Su Li with a deep, enigmatic gaze, speaking every word carefully, "Do you realize what you’re saying?"
Su Li: "Dad was staring at me just now, his gaze made me uncomfortable."
Mu Jiebang was trembling with rage, his lips quivering, his vision darkening, and his head spinning.
Then....with a "thud", his head fell forward, slamming into the ground.
If it hit solidly, it would surely result in a head injury.
Mu Jiebang.... was so furious that he fainted.
Su Li was stunned, her cheap father-in-law was so brittle at such an age?
How did he manage to raise a dog of a man like Mu Zhuoming, with such ruthless traits?
Genetic mutation is indeed a mystical thing.
Luckily, Mu Jiebang did not end up hurting himself.
Mu Zhuoming swiftly stepped forward with his long legs, quickly supporting his father’s forehead with a large hand.
Liao Jinxiang was almost scared to death by this sudden shock.
Together, they moved Mu Jiebang to the sofa, laying him flat, pinching his philtrum and squeezing his tiger’s mouth.
After a chaotic series of efforts, Mu Jiebang finally came around.
Su Li poked her little head in to watch the commotion, and seeing her cheap father-in-law’s turbid eyes clear up, she couldn’t help but smile.
Mu Jiebang opened his eyes, and the first person he saw was the one who had brought him to this state, the culprit responsible for his misery, causing him to almost faint again in anger.
In her panic, Liao Jinxiang’s mind went blank, and she didn’t know what she was thinking, but she slapped Mu Jiebang twice resoundingly.
This time, Mu Jiebang didn’t faint again, but his furious expression was just as unsettling as if he had, his aggressive demeanor causing alarm.
Liao Jinxiang was quite frightened, facing him head-on.
She didn’t even know what she was thinking, if she had to explain, she’d say: Her hand had a mind of its own, she couldn’t control it, boo hoo hoo~
Sensing her cheap father-in-law’s hostile gaze that was sharp like swords ready to pierce, Su Li sighed softly, "Dad, why are you looking at me like that...."
"Shut, shut up..." Mu Jiebang was terrified of his daughter-in-law’s mouth, fearless in what she dared say.
It wasn’t fear of her; it was fear that his son might hold grudges or have thoughts.
Anyway, Su Li wasn’t the type to quit when ahead. She exaggeratedly continued her dramatic performance, "Dad, you, you, you... what do you mean? Is it what I think it is?"
Even though Mu Zhuoming knew Su Li was acting, he was momentarily stunned, the thought "Xi Zi Holding Heart" popped into his mind.
Her apparent vulnerability and pale complexion greatly evoked empathy.
Such a beautiful girl, who would bear to make her frown with displeasure?
Mu Zhuoming’s daze lasted only a moment before he regained his senses. He recalled his reaction earlier, his expression darkened like iron, exuding a chilling aura, like a freezing machine.
"Su Li, that’s enough."
Su Li: "Alright." Su Li answered quickly, her expression shifting as if nothing had ever happened.
Shocked by Mu Zhuoming’s reprimand, Mu Jiebang suddenly snapped back to reality, wondering why he felt guilty just now, what could he have been guilty about?
He hadn’t thought of anything, he was just confused by his daughter-in-law’s words.... Hmm? Wait, it seems his daughter-in-law hadn’t said anything after all.
Then then.... why did he end up fainting?
Mu Jiebang’s mind was like a tangled mess.....
"Who are they?"
Mu Zhuoming’s voice cut through the Chaos like a ray of light, pulling the intelligence of the old couple back.
They finally remembered the real matter at hand.
Mu Zhuoming was already leafing through the crumpled, deformed folder, his eyes fixed on Bai Tuanzi’s photo.
