Mu Ke returned to the Mu family and told Mu Liang everything about the conversation between Mu Xi and her outside.

"Actually, it doesn't matter to me. My sister probably still resents me and thinks I took her place... But mom, Keke really wants to bring my sister back."

Mu Ke cried with tears in her eyes and threw herself into Shen Mo's arms with grievance.

Shen Mo hugged her. She felt sorry for Mu Ke, but at the same time, she was even more disappointed with Mu Xi. "Mu Xi is really something. Even if you don't come back, you can't spread rumors about Ke Ke. We have carefully raised Ke Ke for eighteen years. How could we let her suffer such slander?"

Speaking of this, Mu Ke cried even more sadly.

Mu Liang looked at his little daughter who was being bullied, and thought of what that scoundrel had said to him, and his brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

"Auntie Wu, please bring a glass of water to Miss. Look, my Coco's little face is all dry from crying." Shen Mo could not hide her heartache.

Aunt Wu quickly poured a glass of water and handed it to Mu Ke carefully.

Aunt Wu watched Mu Ke grow up, and loved her from childhood to adulthood. She considered herself half an elder. "It hurts to see Miss being bullied like this."

"After all, she came from the countryside and doesn't know the rules of the city. I don't know what those vulgar people in her adoptive parents' family taught her. How could she say such damaging words to someone's innocence—"

"Mother Wu."

A clear male voice interrupted Wu Ma's words. Everyone looked up and saw Mu Xingchen slowly walking down from the second floor.

Mu Ke looked at him and immediately pouted in grievance, "Brother..."

Mu Xingchen gave her a reassuring look and then looked at Aunt Wu who looked embarrassed.

"I know you feel bad for Keke, but Xixi is also the daughter of the Mu family. The Mu family owed her by leaving her out to fend for herself for eighteen years. Keke should have had a share of everything she has enjoyed since she was a child."

In fact, what Mu Xingchen wanted to say was that Mu Ke was the one who took Mu Xi's place, and everything that Mu Ke enjoyed in the Mu family should have belonged to Mu Xi only.

That day, even though it was Mu Xi who pushed and hit Mu Ke and spoke too harshly first, her father directly kicked her out of the house. Even though it was Mu Xi who proposed to leave first, he knew very well that her father would not keep her even if she didn't mention it.

But is the whole thing really Mu Xi’s fault?

Later he thought about the whole thing carefully. He didn't know why he had lost his mind and spoke rudely at that time.

Maybe she pushed and hit Coco, but there would be many conflicts between girls of this age, let alone facing a man who had occupied her home for eighteen years.

Not to mention his father and mother...even he has always protected Mu Ke. It is normal for Mu Xi to provoke them with words or even run away in anger.

But why did he feel at that time that Mu Xi was malicious and deserved to be kicked out of the house?

"Brother..." Mu Ke looked at him with tears in her eyes, a little confused.

Her brother usually loves her the most, so why isn't he standing by her side today?

"Hahaha, Xingchen is older after all, and he understands more now." Mu Liang praised Mu Xingchen with great satisfaction. Apart from anything else, he was still very satisfied with this son.

Seeing the head of the Mu family say this, Aunt Wu finally realized that her language was inappropriate. She nodded and apologized to Mu Xingchen: "It is my own short-sightedness. Master Xingchen, please don't hold it against me."

This sounded harmless, and Mu Xingchen had no intention of pursuing the matter, so he nodded and let the matter go.

But no one noticed that there was no guilt or apology in Wu Ma's eyes, but instead a hint of unusual disgust.

"I know that Aunt Wu has always loved Coco the most, even I can't compare to her. You have long regarded Coco as half a daughter, so you definitely can't bear to see her suffer any injustice." Mu Xingchen didn't mean to make things difficult for her, so she gave Aunt Wu a way out.

What he said was right. Wu Ma had come to their home when they were in elementary school. Her favorite child since childhood was Coco, and the meals she cooked were all based on her taste.

Even he, the young master, can't compare to him.

But he was just joking, so Wu Ma naturally went down the stairs. She stammered a little, "Yes, I was too impatient. Miss Coco is used to receiving higher education after all, and I'm afraid she will follow suit."

"Brother, please don't blame Auntie Wu. She didn't mean to say anything bad about my sister. She just didn't expect that my sister would say such harsh words today."

Mu Ke easily brought the topic back to Mu Xi with just a few words.

Aunt Wu didn't say anything else and quickly walked down in two steps. However, no one noticed her this time either. There was no anxiety or guilt in her eyes, but a sense of inexplicable guilt.

No one cared. Mu Xingchen comforted Mu Ke with a few words and temporarily suppressed her emotions.

However, Mu Liang’s expression was rather complicated, and it was obvious that something was wrong with him.

"dad."

Mu Xingchen glanced at Mu Ke, then turned to Mu Liang, "Dad, Ke Ke told me everything."

"Mu Xi saved a life in the Intercity Building, and now she is a well-known internet celebrity. You want her to come back to help the Mu Group build momentum and gain a good reputation."

The Mu family's channels for obtaining information were still very reliable. Moreover, the Haishi Daily a few days ago was filled with reports about Mu Xi.

The Internet is so developed nowadays, and Mu Xi is also a very popular blogger on the Internet, so it is easy to find out this information.

It would be hard for the Mu family not to know.

Mu Liang did not deny it. "I underestimated her before. She could not study properly, but instead told fortunes for people online, using those tricks to deceive people. In the end, she was lucky enough to save someone."

As the inheritor and promoter of new century materialism, Mu Liang certainly could not believe in metaphysics, fortune-telling or the like. What Mu Xi did was simply nonsense to him.

But she now has traffic and popularity, and he considers himself a qualified businessman. It would be a loss if he doesn't take advantage of the traffic dividend.

"So you want to bring Mu Xi back and officially announce her identity because you want her to be the spokesperson for the Mu Group?"

Hearing this, Mu Liang shook his head and said, "Her identity cannot be made public for the time being. Although her current traffic is positive, it is hard to say what will happen in the future."

So, I just want her to come back and do an endorsement.

Mu Liang did not deny it because he really thought so. Since he now has positive traffic, he might as well take advantage of it.

Just wanting some free publicity, this is not fair to Mu Xi.

Mu Xingchen lowered his head slightly and pondered for a moment.

"Dad, the conflict between Keke and Xixi is already deep, you shouldn't let her go."

"Besides, she is also the daughter of the Mu family. If she just wants to use Mu Xi, it would be too unfair to her."
