The plane landed at London Heathrow Airport, today is a rare sunny day.During the 12-hour air travel, Mu Xu moved his stiff neck and shoulders, and yawned sleepily.

"Dear passengers, the plane has arrived at our destination Heathrow Airport, please get off the plane from the boarding gate in an orderly manner, thank you."

Mu Xu stood up and took out a light and fluffy black backpack on the luggage rack. Such lightweight luggage was very conspicuous among the passengers with big and small bags.With a backpack on one shoulder, he stepped over the boarding gate, stepped into the corridor bridge, walked through the bustling crowd, and came to the exit.He came back really suddenly, without informing anyone in advance, he stood on the side of the road, raised his hand to hail a chubby yellow taxi, opened the door and sat in the back row, he said: "Firefly Villa."

Mu Baiying opened the door of the Bentley and sat in. Anna sat inside obediently, with her hands on her knees, greeting Mu Baiying like a primary school student: "Good afternoon, Mom."

Mu Baiying was not in the mood to answer her stepdaughter's pretending to be good. She was immersed in her own thoughts, took out her mobile phone and clicked on the WeChat page, staying in the dialog box with Mu Xu, not knowing what to write.

"Donna said there was a surprise at home." Anna said, trying to get Mu Baiying's attention.

But Mu Baiying was too focused on composing words and didn't pay attention to Anna's words.

Anna curled her lips in boredom, and lowered her head to send a message to Donna [Why do we have to go back for dinner, I have a meeting in the afternoon. 】

【Donna: You don't have to come back, Bernice must come. 】

[Anna: You discriminate against me. 】

[Donna: Yes. 】

Mu Baiying was tangled all the way, and typed a sentence in the dialog [Xiao Xu, what are you doing in the morning meeting?Why didn't you participate? ] She deleted [Why didn't you participate? ], changed to [I told Mingyue about my thoughts, let's talk in detail after you finish your work].

When Bentley arrived at the gate of the villa, the driver swiped his card to open the gate, bypassed the fountain, walked through the garden, and stopped at the gate of the palace-like mansion. Mu Baiying pushed the door and got off, nodding to the housekeeper.

"Ms. Bernice, welcome back." The butler pushed open the door and let Mu Baiying enter the entrance.

The spacious entrance and the curved staircase came into view. Mu Baiying bent down to put on her slippers, and the maid wiped the expensive shoes behind her and put them in the shoe cabinet.

On the right is the living room, with a platinum European-style leather sofa, a black glass coffee table, and a light coffee-colored carpet. Mu Baiying's eyes were fixed on the person standing beside the sofa: "Xiaoxu?"

Mu Xu said, "Mom, good afternoon."

"Why are you back?" Mu Baiying put the handbag on the armrest of the sofa, and walked up to Mu Xu in small steps. She was a little at a loss, and Mu Xu took the initiative to give her a hug.

Mu Baiying patted Mu Xu's back, she sat down with her son, her gaze stayed on Mu Xu's eyebrows for a long time, and she sighed: "You are much more mature."

"I have experienced some things." Mu Xu said, "The decision to go to Beijing at the beginning seems to be a worthwhile trip."

Mu Baiying noticed the pink diamond ring on Mu Xu's finger, and asked, "Still talking?"

"Yes." Mu Xu said, "We have a marriage contract."

"How serious is it?" Mu Baiying asked.

Mu Xu thought for a while and said, "Very serious." Sliding his fingertips over the ring, he said, "Probably the most serious I've ever been."

Mu Baiying reached out to caress her son's cheek, and she asked, "Then why didn't you bring him back?"

"He's busy with work." Mu Xu said, "I don't want to delay him during the critical period."

"Did you discuss it with him during your visit?" Mu Baiying asked.

Mu Xu was silent, Mu Baiying pinched her son's earlobe and said, "You are always like this."

Mu Xu raised his eyebrows and looked at his mother suspiciously: "What kind?"

"Try to solve all the problems by yourself." Mu Baiying said, "Loving someone is not just sending him flowers and gifts, you have to let him participate in your life."

"He can't help, why bother him." Mu Xu said, rubbing his eyes tiredly.

Mu Baiying said: "Eat first, rest well after eating, we'll talk about everything tomorrow." She stood up, led Mu Xu to the restaurant, Donna was helping in the kitchen, Betty rushed over and hugged Mu Xu's waist: "Uncle is finally back!"

"Sorry, I didn't bring a gift this time." Mu Xu said.

Betty blinked her watery blue eyes and said, "Uncle is a gift in itself."

Mu Xu pulled out the chair and sat down, Betty sat beside him like a cute puppet cat, with her hands neatly placed on her knees, neither noisy nor noisy, quietly staring at Mu Xu stop.

"Where's Allen?" Mu Xu asked.

Donna stepped out of the kitchen with a plate and said, "He's at school, come back tonight."

"Allen has reached school age, so fast." Mu Xu sighed.

"He doesn't know about your return yet," said Donna, sitting next to Betty. "Let's eat."

"Xiaochi, it's eight o'clock, why don't you leave?" Chen Pingche pushed open the office door, saw the back of the desk still busy at the door, and asked, "Is there any trouble?"

"No." Chi Juntao stopped typing, looked at Chen Pingche, and sighed, "I don't want to go back."

Chen Pingche took a chair and sat down, and asked, "Did you quarrel with President Xiao Mu?"

"We broke up." Chi Juntao said dejectedly, "On the day of my grandfather's funeral, we had a big fight and he returned to England."

"So fast?" Chen Pingche was shocked for a while, and said, "The cooperation between Joaquin and Spencer..."

"We signed an agreement, so don't worry about it." Chi Juntao said, "But in order to ensure that the follow-up cooperation will not be deliberately made things difficult by them, we need to find more partners." He rotated the laptop and flashed the screen, "I'm doing Plan, do a field visit to the companies we are currently talking about.”

"Let's think about it... don't worry about it." Chen Pingche said, "The aristocratic families we visited together last time, you and I will go again next week."

Chi Juntao pretended not to understand, and said, "I think their attitude is quite firm and they are unwilling to invest."

"A group of short-sighted people." Chen Pingche said disdainfully, he patted Chi Juntao on the shoulder, "Let's try again, if it doesn't work, we won't take them to play."

"Okay." Chi Juntao nodded.

"You... oh." Chen Pingche sighed, "Go back and have a good sleep, see if you can contact Mr. Mu, both of you calm down."

"Who wants to contact him." Chi Juntao closed the laptop with a "click" and stood up, "I have an appointment to go to the bar."

"Xiaochi." Chen Pingche hesitated to speak, "Forget it."

Chi Juntao said: "Go back early, my sister-in-law is waiting for you at home." He walked towards the bathroom, his back was extremely lonely.

Mu Xu lay down in the soft and light goose down quilt, looked around at the familiar decoration and furniture, Mu Baiying sat by the bed, and tucked the corner of the quilt for him as he did when he was a child.

"Nothing has changed." Mu Xu said.

"The maid comes to clean every day." Mu Baiying said, "When I miss you, I will come here to sit."

"You are different from before." Mu Xu said.

"I forced you to make some choices that you don't like." Mu Baiying said, "I thought over and over whether these choices were necessary."

"I know you are doing it for my own good." Mu Xu said.

"Yes and no." Mu Baiying said, "I am too paranoid about some choices. You deserve a more relaxed and happier childhood." She reached out to Mu Xu's forehead, and picked up a half-long strand of hair, for him. Pin it behind your ear, "As for now, I just want you to be happy."

"Mom, I'm so tired." Mu Xu tilted his head and leaned close to Mu Baiying's palm. His eyes were half closed. For a moment, he took a long breath and fell into a light sleep.

Mu Baiying frowned slightly, with tenderness and distress in her eyes, she stood up, walked out of the bedroom, closed the door, and tiptoed downstairs. Anna asked: "Bernice, the afternoon meeting..."

"Delay for half an hour later, I'll make a call." Mu Baiying said, she bent down and picked up the cell phone on the coffee table, flipped to the phone number in the address book that she hadn't contacted in more than ten years, pressed the dial button, and raised her phone. Put your hand to your ear to answer.She stood on the balcony, and after waiting for a long time, an elderly woman's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Hello?"

"Hello, Teacher Xie Li." Mu Baiying said, "I'm Bernice Spencer, long time no see."
