Madam Mu felt the exchange between the two brothers and couldn't help but start to criticize them, "I still remember how lively and cute little Li was when he was little. How come he is like this now?"

"Mom!" Mu Wangli raised his eyes and glanced at Madam Mu, his tone somewhat lazy.

"Mom, are you saying that I'm not cute?" Mu Jinchuan walked into the kitchen, washed his hands, and sat back down at the table. There was a hint of complaint in his tone, but there was a hint of smile in his eyes.

Mu Jinchuan always looks cold and serious when he is outside, and only shows his gentleness to his family.

"No, no, you two are both cute and you are both my sons. How can I have any preference?" Mrs. Mu felt a little annoyed when she was asked this. This statement was not right no matter how she said it.

"I just say that you two are still too cold. I'm worried that it won't be easy for girls to like you." Mrs. Mu felt a headache when she saw her two sons' handsome faces and was worried about their marriage.

"Mom, why are you so anxious? I'm still young!" Mu Wangli couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth and couldn't help laughing.

"Mom, I'm so busy at the company, how can I have the time?" Mu Jinchuan was helpless. He would be scolded for this every time he went home.

"Busy, busy, busy? That's your only excuse. Who isn't busy? Your special assistant in the company already has a girlfriend, how about you?" Madam Mu was furious and started to lecture her, "You are still a loner, a golden bachelor!"

Mu Wangli looked at his elder brother who was lowering his head due to being accused, and just when he was about to laugh at him, the blame was shifted to him.

"And you, Xiao Li, you are already 19 years old, a college student, but you haven't even had a relationship in all these years. Aren't you ashamed?" Mrs. Mu couldn't stop talking once she started.

"That Xiao Xiao next to you is so popular with girls, he's lively and cheerful, he talks about his girlfriend every day, the two of them have such a good relationship that they've agreed to get married after graduation!"

Mu Wangli was so shocked by what he said that he could no longer laugh. He just followed his elder brother in silence, lowering his head, looking as if he was listening to his instructions.

But, I just listen and don’t change!

"Oh, Madam, that's enough, we still have to eat, it will get cold if we don't eat now!" Master Mu came out to smooth things over at the right time, coaxing his wife in a gentle voice, "They will take care of the two children's affairs, we don't have to worry about it!"

"Humph, you are the only one protecting them." Madam Mu complained aggrievedly, "I don't want to nag, but it's because of them that I am always embarrassed when those sisters in the circle talk about family matters!"

Got it!

They are both fucking tools.

Mu Wangli and Mu Jinchuan cried silently in their hearts, feeling aggrieved.

"That's because you don't know. Our two sons are very popular in Qingcheng. Many girls are chasing after them, but they just haven't found the one they like yet!" Master Mu had a proud look on his face, with the pride of being a father.

They are lucky to have such an excellent father who gave them such good genes.

"I've been told that girls are being frozen to death by them. It must be because you passed on your bad character to them!" Madam Mu became more and more angry and started to get angry at Master Mu.

The war shifted.

Mu Wangli and Mu Jinchuan silently raised their heads and watched the show from the side, each of them looking very interested.

Upon seeing this, Master Mu gave them a warning look, “You two little brats, I did this all for you!”

"When can I hold my lovely grandson in my arms, and my lovely daughter-in-law!" Mrs. Mu looked at the three men, father and son, who were carved from the same mold as her own family, and was so angry that she drank a sip of water to suppress her anger.

"Hey, Xiao Li, I heard that you brought a girl into your manor this afternoon?" Mu Jinchuan spoke softly when Mrs. Mu took a breath, his tone teasing, with a hint of anticipation.

"What? Who is it? Xiao Li, you actually brought a girl into your manor, it's the first time!" Mrs. Mu asked before Mu Wangli could answer when she heard this.

Upon hearing this, Mr. Mu also looked at him.

For a moment, Mu Wangli was surrounded by three meaningful gazes, each of which was filled with gossip.

"Ahem!" Mu Wangli cleared his throat and said calmly, "Well, it's just a favor a friend asked for."

After these words were spoken, none of the three people present believed them.

Especially Mrs. Mu, her eyes looked up and down at Mu Wangli, as if she was trying to find a flower.

"Really, really!" Mu Wangli was so frightened by his mother's skinning gaze that his voice became unsteady. "It's just that a friend of mine asked me to help take care of him. He won't be here for long and will leave!"

"Really?" Madam Mu was skeptical and looked around with a long gaze.

"Really!" Mu Wangli nodded eagerly.

Mu Jinchuan, who was standing by, did a brief investigation upon receiving the news and said meaningfully, "Since it's just a favor, it's better to leave early to avoid getting into trouble."

"Yeah." Mu Wangli responded in a low voice.

They all had a vague feeling that something was going to happen next.

Mr. Mu had seen all kinds of situations. When he heard his eldest son's words, he vaguely realized something, but he didn't ask.

Madam Mu was so careless that she didn't hear anything. She just felt that her excitement was in vain and called on everyone to start eating.

……

Xiao Jinglan stayed in Mu Wangli's villa and spent two days in peace and tranquility.

On the third day, I received a piece of news.

After the calm came the storm.

I finally understood the meaning of the words the black-clad leader said before he left.

On this day, the Mu family's stocks fell rapidly, plummeting to the bottom in an instant.

Problems also arose in the Mu Group. The head office and branches were successively reported to have falsified financial statements and engaged in financial fraud. The relevant partners began to breach their contracts one after another, and the group was in crisis for a while.

On the first day, when Mu Wangli learned the news, he came to see her and comforted her, "It's okay."

"It's just a short crisis. My brother will handle it."

Xiao Jinglan didn't know what to say for a moment, so he just nodded silently.

After this day, the same thing happened for three days in a row. The company's performance declined rapidly, it had a huge funding gap, and fell into a financial crisis, as if an invisible hand was suppressing its development.

On the fourth day, the eldest son of the Mu family was taken away for investigation for financial fraud. Mu Wangli was forced to join the group and serve as the interim president.

All of a sudden, the Mu family was in chaos.

Mu Wangli also disappeared for the entire day.

In the evening, Xiao Jinglan suddenly received a call from an unfamiliar number.

After staring at the phone screen for a few seconds, she slid her slender fingertips across it and answered the call.
