Marriage is not out of date: the president's wife is polite

"It's a bit presumptuous to invite you so suddenly."

Looking at the person who appeared in front of her on time, Mu Wan'an took out the gift box and pushed it in front of him:
"However, this gift is too precious to me. We are friends, and the value of friendship lies in maintaining each other, not relying on these."

"It's very strange for you to say that."

Seeing the gift box being pushed back, Xu Shuo had no surprise on his face, he looked up at her:
"It's just to congratulate you on your birthday in advance. I think you almost forget your birthday."

"Birthday?"

Mu Wan'an couldn't help being a little puzzled. After thinking about it carefully, she realized it later.

She couldn't help but patted herself on the head:

"If you don't tell me, I'll forget about it. I've been too busy during this period... But speaking of it, I'm such an old man, and I always feel that birthdays are not as important as before."

"Is that so? I remember that before, you were looking forward to your birthday."

A trace of guilt could not help flashing across his face, Xu Shuo lowered his head:
"It's all my fault, I made the decision on my own."

Seeing him feel so guilty, Mu Wan'an felt very uncomfortable. Her original intention was to return the necklace, not to make him show such a embarrassed look.

"Actually, I want to thank you... I'm still very happy that someone misses me, but this necklace is really too precious."

"You and I have passed the time of worrying about food and clothing, this necklace is nothing."

Seeing Mu Wan'an with a sincere face, Xu Shuo continued to explain her in a gentle voice. He smiled and said:
"At worst, when I celebrate my birthday, you can just give me a present."

"That's what I said..."

As soon as she blurted out, Mu Wan'an felt that she seemed to be going too far, so she quickly changed her words:

"But it's true, my thoughts seem to be still stuck in my student days. When you celebrate your birthday in the future, I will return gifts to you."

"And there is a reason why I chose this gift for you. Li Nian seems to be getting married soon. I see that the invitation card stipulates that a dress must be worn. I will give you a set of jewelry so that you can match it."

Originally thought that Li Nian would be a strong opponent, but he didn't expect him to withdraw so early. A faint smile appeared on Xu Shuo's face, which made people feel more harmless against his gentle and jade-like face.

"Did you also receive the invitation? It seems that we will see each other again soon."

Mu Wan'an didn't expect the senior to send an invitation to Xu Shuo, with a slightly surprised expression on his face.

"Yeah, I was also surprised at the time. But thinking about it, those unpleasant things seem to have happened a long time ago."

Lifting the cup to hide the emotion in his eyes, Xu Shuo thought for a while and said:
"See you at the wedding then."

Back in the office, Mu Wan'an saw the resting designers gathering in twos and threes to discuss gossip. While receiving water, she listened to them and said:
"There is really someone who comes back from the dead? It's really weird, even the children are mistaken? How can such a thing happen in such a rich family?"

"It's only in rich families that such things happen, okay? Don't even think about it, we ordinary people have no money in their families, who would change their children?"

……

This situation seems to be the same as that of the Song family.

Mu Wan'an instinctively slowed down her pace. She stood in the tea room with a cup in her hand and listened quietly to one of them talking loudly:
"The Chen family just fell, and Chen Xinxue came back. This is really timely. But I think the timing of her return was really well-timed. You see, Chen Xinrao, who has been eyeing her for a long time, has been disfigured, and she is not very satisfied with her Song. The old man has been ignored, I heard that her parents didn't pay much attention to her before... Tsk tsk tsk, the right time and place are right for people!"

Now it seems that Chen Xinxue's return is no secret, and even Pingping has officially obtained his due "title".

Mu Wan'an was a little worried, she sighed, and now she didn't know what happened to Xiao Si.

Seeing Mu Wan'an coming out of the tea room, the group of employees fell silent, and the sudden silence made her look up at them suspiciously:

"Why didn't you talk when I came out?"

"Isn't this... isn't it time to work?"

Several people quickly dispersed and returned to their seats. Mu Wan'an probably knew something. She was a little helpless, but she didn't say anything.

After returning to her office, she was about to contact the servants in the former villa to ask them about Xiaosi's current situation, when a call came in.

She looked at this number that was deleted but she was too familiar with it, hesitated again and again, and still picked it up.

After answering the phone, there was a long silence, and she could only hear the sound of light breathing.

"Hello? What's the matter?"

After waiting for a long time, she finally spoke first. This long silence was suffocating, and it didn't seem like Song Bingjue's style at all.

There was another long silence over there, and finally she only heard the sound of tapping the phone lightly.

After the phone was hung up, she looked at the ten-minute call suspiciously, "This is..."

When she was about to get back to work, she suddenly remembered something - the sound of tapping the phone lightly, it was clearly -

Before she had time to think, she quickly grabbed her phone and ran out:
Song Bingjue would never call her at this time!That kind of tapping sound is obviously Xiao Si!
Thinking back to what I saw in the kindergarten... hurriedly stopped a taxi, Mu Wan'an was very anxious, urging the driver to drive faster along the way.

After finally suffering all the way to Yulong Bay, Mu Wan'an looked at the closed gate, but the security guard at the gate was unwilling to let her in:
"Now we have a new mistress, and we are strictly not allowed to let some women who are not fair or not. Miss Mu, you and the president of our family are in the past tense, so don't make things difficult for us servants."

"I didn't want to see Song Bingjue, I came here because of Xiaosi. I just received a call from him, and I really want to meet him now!"

Seeing this person shaking his head, Mu Wan'an became more and more anxious, and she couldn't help but stomp her feet:

"Don't talk about other things, Xiaosi was the one you watched growing up, don't you worry about him?"

"Miss Mu! Don't even think about it. It's already very kind of the Song family to continue to raise Xiao Si. If you rush in at this time, won't it make the president and Miss Chen hate him even more? Your love for Xiao Si is my heart." Understood, but..."

Listening to the security guard's words, Mu Wan'an also gradually calmed down, and she also knew that it was indeed too ill-considered for her to run over so recklessly.

But if they all come, she really feels uneasy if she doesn't confirm Xiaosi's safety:
"Can I trouble you to call Xiao Si out for me? I want to see how he is now..."

"Hey, Miss Mu, why are you bothering?"

Seeing her attitude of not leaving until she saw Xiaosi, the security guard had no choice but to look at the quiet house not far away, shook his head and said:
"I'll help you check it out. If Stoudemire can come out, I'll let him come over."

After waiting like this for more than ten minutes, Mu Wan'an was almost fainted by the sun, only to see one tall and one short slowly walking over.

Immediately cheered up, Mu Wan'an got closer again, looked at Xiao Si who seemed to have lost a lot of weight recently through the iron gate, and stretched out his hand to hold his:
"Xiao Si, was it you who called me just now? Did they treat you badly? Or did they bully you? Huh?"

Sensing his little hand moving in her palm, Mu Wan'an looked worriedly at Xiaosi who was poking his face tightly, "Don't be afraid, just tell me, everything will be fine."

"Miss Mu, Xiaosi has not been beaten, and there is no shortage of food and clothing... Miss Chen is just ignoring him at most, so don't worry about it. In a few years, Master Xiaosi will be able to be independent, and everything will be fine by then. Already!"

Worried about Chen Xinxue or the new young master coming to see, the security guard looked around and tried to persuade:

"You've already met, and Stoudemire has nothing to do, so you should go back quickly."

Seeing that Xiao Si refused to speak, Mu Wan'an could only give up. She looked at Xiao Si standing in front of her through a layer of iron fence with a worried face, and then said to the security guard:

"Thank you very much today. This kind of thing is really embarrassing, but if there is anything about Stoudemire, please tell me."

As she said that, Mu Wan'an wanted Xiao Si to go back, but found that he had pinched the corner of her clothes at some point. She said in surprise:

"Xiaosi, you are..."

As soon as she finished speaking, Chen Xinxue's characteristic sharp and sinister tone came from not far away:
"Yo, I thought there was a thief in the house! I saw someone hacking on the door in broad daylight! I didn't expect it to be our Miss Mu...It's really interesting!"

Unexpectedly, Chen Xinxue found out so quickly, a trace of panic flashed across Mu Wan'an's face, and she immediately calmed down.

She held Xiao Si's hand tightly, and looked at Chen Xinxue who led several servants over. She was a little more arrogant than the domineering first time when she was surrounded by the rich clothes and food of the Song family:
"I heard before that you adopted a child before. Could it be that Ms. Mu is addicted to adopting a child because she can't have a child by herself?"

These words were indeed harsh and mean, but because this was on the territory of the Song family, and it was true that he was ignorant, Mu Wan'an could only endure it:
"Miss Chen, please be careful. I just came to visit this child. Of course, I didn't inform you in advance. It is indeed my fault."

"I didn't expect that one day, I would hear Miss Mu, who has always been aloof, apologize to me."

Seeing her subdued, Chen Xinxue couldn't help showing a smug smile, and her face became more and more arrogant:

"However, a mistake is a mistake, and it cannot be made up for by a casual apology."
