To seduce her

The first ray of sunlight in the morning shone through the gap in the curtains, gently falling on Shen Yaochu's face, and waking her up from her sleep.

Shen Yaochu slowly opened his eyes and frowned slightly, as if he was still recalling last night's dream.

She habitually reached out to feel for the phone beside the pillow, and her fingertips felt a piece of cold metal.

I picked up the phone and clicked the screen, but the screen was still black.

Only then did Shen Yaochu realize that his phone had run out of battery and turned off at some point.

Shen Yaochu sat up, rubbed his eyes, and tiptoed out of bed.

She was very careful, trying not to make any noise so as not to disturb BoBo and CiCi who were sleeping soundly nearby.

Shen Yaochu looked back and saw that the two children were still sleeping soundly. Their peaceful sleeping faces made Shen Yaochu feel more at ease.

Shen Yaochu found the charger, carefully plugged in the phone, sat on the edge of the bed, and waited for the phone to turn on again.

The phone's screen gradually lit up, and at the moment it was turned on, it suddenly rang loudly, accompanied by a slight vibration.

The familiar ringtone sounded particularly loud in the quiet morning.

Shen Yaochu's heart tightened, fearing that the sudden noise would break the silence and wake up the two children.

Shen Yaochu almost instinctively reached out his hand and pressed the reject button in a hurry, while covering the phone with his other hand to minimize the spread of the sound.

Shen Yaochu looked back nervously, and sure enough, the children had been awakened by the sudden ringing of the bell.

BoBo and CiCi rubbed their sleepy eyes, their faces filled with confusion and uneasiness of just waking up.

BoBo propped himself up, opened his little mouth slightly, looking for Shen Yaochu's figure. CiCi covered his ears with the quilt, humming reluctantly.

Shen Yaochu quickly put down her phone, leaned over and hugged BoBo and CiCi in her arms, and comforted them softly: "It's okay, it's okay, mom is here."

BoBo rubbed his eyes and was obviously much more awake: "Mom, did Dad come home yesterday?"

CiCi still had her eyes closed, hugged Shen Yaochu's waist, and mumbled, "Dad must be back, Mom is at home!"

Looking at the two children's clear eyes, Shen Yaochu pursed her lips slightly, and her thoughts drifted back to last night.

Shen Yaochu said in a deep voice: "He went home and should have gone to work now."

"It's so early!"

Shen Yaochu responded: "Yes."

Gao Yuchuan came back drunk yesterday and it seemed like he had drunk a lot.

But fortunately Xia Yizhui is here and should be able to take good care of him.

Thinking of this, a hint of imperceptible loss and grievance flashed across Shen Yaochu's eyes, but she quickly returned to normal.

The two little guys gradually woke up, got up from the bed, and walked towards the bathroom while chatting.

Suddenly, CiCi saw a figure downstairs from the corner of her eye. She walked to the window in surprise, with her face pressed against the large French window: "Brother, Sister Xiaozhu is here!"

"Ah? She hasn't been here for a long time." Hearing this, BoBo also walked to the window and looked down.

"Brother, let's wash up quickly and go downstairs to play with Sister Xiaozhu, okay?"

"Well, then you need to hurry up and don't drag your feet."

"it is good!"

Hearing the children's excited words, Shen Yaochu was stunned.

She walked to the window and looked in the direction the children pointed. She saw a familiar figure standing in the sun in the yard. It was Xia Yizhu.

Shen Yaochu felt mixed emotions and was speechless.

The sound of BoBo and CiCi chattering was in my ears.

"Mom, Sister Xiaozhu is the florist who takes care of our garden. She is very beautiful and looks a lot like you!"

"Yes, mother, we almost mistook Sister Xiaozhu for you!"

"But then I found out she wasn't my mother."

"Sister Xiaozhu would always pick out the beautiful flowers she had cut and make them into bouquets for us, and she would also bring us delicious food!"

"She sometimes plays games with us, she's a very nice person!"

"..." Shen Yaochu raised an ambiguous smile at the corner of her lips: "Really? Do you... like her?"

"like."

"As long as you like it." Shen Yaochu said.

As soon as Shen Yaochu finished speaking, CiCi seemed to notice that she was in a bad mood and hugged her waist: "We like Sister Xiaozhu, but we like mom more!"

BoBo also nodded: "Sister Xiaozhu is the sister who plays well, and mom is mom."

"..." Shen Yaochu's eyes felt slightly sore and her heart moved slightly.

She squatted down and hugged BoBo and CiCi: "Good baby, go wash up quickly."

It turns out that only "mom" cannot be easily replaced.

Gao Group conference room.

In the conference room, the atmosphere was solemn and slightly tense. The major shareholders of the Gao family looked at each other, seemingly puzzled by this sudden extraordinary shareholders' meeting.

Mu Yian was dressed in formal attire, sitting upright on the podium, her eyes sharp and confident. Her voice was clear and powerful, announcing the official start of the meeting.

“Dear shareholders, thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to attend today’s extraordinary general meeting of shareholders. We are about to discuss a very important cooperation proposal.”

Mu Yian's tone was firm, as if he was 100% sure.

But as soon as he finished speaking, a Gao shareholder raised an objection: "But, the two CEOs are not here, this..."

Mu Yian smiled slightly, and there seemed to be a deep meaning in that smile: "Please rest assured, I have sent a sincere invitation to the two of you, but considering that their personal positions may conflict with the interests of the group, their opinions will not be taken into consideration at this meeting."

"But they are the presidents of our Gao Group after all. The Gao Group is in their hands. Since this is a crucial cooperation proposal..."

"They will come." Mu Yian smiled and said meaningfully: "This is also a crucial proposal for them..."

Mu Yian raised his hand and signaled his assistant to distribute the documents to each shareholder.

The logo of Gao Group is printed on the cover of the document, which is particularly eye-catching.

Everyone opened the document and read it carefully.

Mu Yian slowly picked up the document and interpreted the contents: "This is a plan to jointly develop a piece of private land with Hongsheng Group. This land has a superior geographical location and convenient transportation. We will build an entire high-end commercial district that integrates shopping, dining, and entertainment. I believe this will bring rich returns to the group."

The shareholders flipped through the documents in their hands one after another, and when they saw the exact location of the private land, they could not help but look at each other with shocked expressions on their faces.

"But...this..."

Before anyone could finish their words, the door to the conference room was suddenly pushed open.

Gao Yuchuan narrowed his eyes slightly, and his aura was sinister and terrifying: "Mu Yian, who gave you the courage?!"
