The servant brought delicately arranged truffles and foie gras , Mu Baiying said: "Try it, a friend sent it."

Mu Xu picked up a fork to poke a piece, put it in his mouth, chewed slowly, squinted his eyes to enjoy the aroma of the ingredients, Mu Baiying asked: "Did you sleep well last night?"

"It's okay." Mu Xu said, "Thank you, it's delicious."

"I invited Mrs. Brown to my house as a guest." Mu Baiying said, "Let's entertain her together."

"Aren't you going to work today?" Mu Xu asked.

"Anna will take over for one day." Mu Baiying said.

Anna, who was sitting on Mu Baiying's left and buried her head in her meal, put down her fork, looked up and said to Mu Xu with a smile, "I have some good news to share with my little brother."

"What?" Mu Xu asked.

"My adoption has been approved." Anna said, "It won't be long before there will be a beautiful little girl in the family."

Mu Xu said, "Congratulations, I'm looking forward to it." He looked at Mu Baiying, "Does Owen know about this?"

"He already knew." Anna said, "Dad will be back tomorrow afternoon, and he can't wait to see you."

"Then I have to prepare the meeting ceremony as soon as possible." Mu Xu said.

Allen raised his hand: "I'm done."

"Are you full?" Mu Baiying asked.

"I'm full," Allen said, "but I don't want to go to school."

"Knowledge is a gentleman's weapon." Donna said, she nodded Allen's nose, "Who said yesterday that you want to be like Uncle Lance?"

"I'm full too." Mu Xu put down the knife and fork, patted Allen on the shoulder, "I'll take you to the door."

"I want to send my brother too." Betty said.

Mu Baiying was happy to see the happy family scene, she stood up and sent Allen into the Rolls Royce with Mu Xu. Anna went to work, Donna took Betty to the early education class, and Mu Xu and Mu Baiying, as well as the housekeeper and servants were left in the huge castle.

"What time will Mrs. Brown arrive?" Mu Xu asked.

"Three o'clock in the afternoon." Mu Baiying said.

The servant opened the curtains, and the sun shone into the living room, covering the shoulders of the two of them. Mu Baiying looked at Mu Xu carefully: "You have lost some weight."

"I'm under a lot of pressure recently." Mu Xu said, the light shone obliquely into his hazel eyes, and a strand of soft and fluffy hair hung down his forehead. He sat quietly, as if flying over thousands of mountains, trekking long distances, and landing on the lake in the palace garden queen of swans.

"You have always been the most sensible child." Mu Baiying said, "When I arrived in London, I only had 600 pounds in my pocket, and [-] yuan was paid to Mrs. Brown to leave you with her."

"Every time I come to see you, you don't cry or make trouble, and you even give me a small gift you made." Mu Baiying said, "Even your father's matter, you don't mention it sensiblely."

Mu Xu said, "Have you ever thought about telling my father about it before?"

"Think about it." Mu Baiying said, "This matter is more complicated."

"How complicated?" Mu Xu asked.

"It's so complicated...you'd better remember it yourself." Mu Baiying said.

"Can I remember?" Mu Xu wondered, "How?"

"Hypnosis." Mu Baiying said, "After three to five times of hypnotherapy, you can slowly recall the memory fragments you forcibly gave up at the beginning."

Mu Xu took a sip of tea and said, "Okay."

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Shelley Brown arrived at the Firefly Villa on time. She was nearly seventy years old, with a hale and hearty body, and she knocked on the gate of the mansion with a "boom, bang, bang".

The butler pushed open the door and invited Mrs. Brown into the living room: "Hello, Ms. Brown."

"Teacher Xie Li, long time no see." Mu Baiying went up to meet her, and gave Shelly Brown a warm hug with her arms wide open.

Shelly smiled and said, "I was very pleasantly surprised to receive your call. A few days ago, I was still thinking about how little Lance is doing."

"Hi, Mrs. Brown." Mu Xu said, "Sit down."

"Still so polite." Brown looked Mu Xu up and down, and greeted with concern, "You are too thin, are you a picky eater?"

"I'm not picky." Mu Xu said helplessly, "I'm under a lot of pressure recently."

"You're the best at deceiving people," Shelly said. She leaned on the arm of the sofa and sat down, cutting straight to the point. "You want to know about the past, so for the next week, you have to listen to me."

"Okay." Mu Xu agreed.

"Starting from this afternoon." Shelly said, "I live next door to you. Whenever you want to talk, you can come to me."

Mu Xu nodded: "Understood."

"Then let's go, let's start the first treatment." Xie Li stood up quickly, carrying her medical bag, Mu Baiying led her to the bedroom at the end of the corridor on the first floor, she said: "This room just After tidying up, there are gardens on three sides, which is the quietest."

The maid opened the door. The decoration is beige and white, with comfortable fabric sofas and plush carpets. A star light is inlaid in the center of the ceiling. The style is warm and playful, and the atmosphere is comfortable and comfortable.

Shelly bent down and put the bag on the carpet, pointed to another deck chair and said to Mu Xu, "You go there."

Mu Xu lay down as promised, Mu Baiying and the servant left the room, the door closed with a "click", Xie Li turned on the speaker, and the soothing light music flowed like a stream, echoing over the room.

"Didn't it mean tomorrow night?" Chi Juntao sat in the passenger seat of the Lamborghini with his arms crossed, his face darkened.

Qi Yan said while driving: "Oh, when the kid hears Young Master Chi's name, he gets angry and urges me."

"Don't give me ecstasy soup." Chi Juntao said.

Qi Yan glanced at him sideways, his eyes stopped on the dial on Chi Juntao's wrist, and he said, "Yo, Patek Philippe, where did you get it?"

Chi Juntao squinted at him: "You don't care about me."

"You are a civil servant, young man, pay attention to your identity." Qi Yan said, "I will send you an online exposure some other day, Cousin."

"Not every civil servant can have the ex-boyfriend of the young master of the consortium." Chi Juntao specially supported his chin with his watch-wearing left hand, and propped his elbow against the car window, "Jealousy twists people, and it's you."

"Tsk, you're awesome." Qi Yan said, "Haven't you become an ex-boyfriend?" He turned the steering wheel, "It's not appropriate to wear a watch from your ex-boyfriend when you're having dinner with Xinhuan. Let me replace it for you." custody."

"I need a watch to match my clothes." Chi Juntao said, "And all my watches are from Mu Xu."

"..." Qi Yan looked at Chi Juntao inexplicably, "What do you think, you have fallen to the point of eating soft food."

"Civil servant, no money." Chi Juntao shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands, "He manages hundreds of billions of cash flow, and his pockets are cleaner than your face."

"I really can't figure out why you broke up with Mu Xu." Qi Yan said.

"It's not for your family's money." Chi Juntao laughed, "I want to break up? I was fucking dumped."

Qi Yan was indignant: "Damn rich." He slapped the horn button of the Lamborghini, "I will give away the 70 million watch as soon as I said it. I applied for a living allowance of 20 and was scolded by the old man for half a year."

"You also go into business like Xie Swallow." Chi Juntao said.

"I'm exhausted, so I won't go." Qi Yan said, "I'm good at spending money, but not good at making money."

"Prodigal son." Chi Juntao said.

"I'll be busy when I get promoted in the second half of the year." Qi Yan said, "Treasure me."

"Go to the construction site?" Chi Juntao asked.

"Well, go to Zhuhai to build a bridge." Qi Yan said, "What do you look at, I'm going to supervise the construction, not move the bricks."

"One meaning." Chi Juntao said.

Qi Yan parked the car on the side of the road and said, "Go down, if it doesn't work, you can send me a message, and I will pick you up right away."

"How can I find him?" Chi Juntao asked.

"Go in and report my name, and the waiter will take you there." Qi Yan said, "I reserved a box."

"Okay." Chi Juntao got out of the car, walked into the restaurant, and reported Qi Yan's name. The waiter led him to the door of a small box. He opened the door, and there was a young boy sitting inside.

"Hello, I'm Chi Juntao." Chi Juntao closed the door and introduced himself.

"Qi Zhikang." The boy stood up. He was over 1.7 meters tall, and the top of his head was at the same level as Chi Juntao's nose. He smiled shyly and said, "I heard my brother tell you about you."

Chi Juntao opened the chair and sat down, poured a cup of tea, and said, "I grew up with your brother, we were young."
