Mu Xu was sitting on the sofa, staring at Cliff. He was holding a cup of pure black tea without sugar and milk. ?"

"She's drawing," Cliff said. "It usually takes three or four hours at a time. She doesn't like to be interrupted."

"I don't like being followed either," Mu Xu said.

"It's my job," Cliff said.

Mu Xu put down his teacup and stood up: "Okay, let's go out."

"Where are you going?" Cliff asked.

"Go and spend my mother's money." Mu Xu picked up the dark gray cashmere coat on the back of the sofa, opened the drawer at the entrance, rummaged through a pile of car keys for a long time, and found a Mercedes-Benz G63 key. Throw it to Cliff, "Since I bought it, almost no one has driven it. You have to find a shop to maintain it."

"Why not?" Cliff asked.

Mu Xu bent down and put on comfortable casual shoes, and said, "Because no one in the family grows two meters tall." He opened the door and walked out. Cliff asked, "Where is the garage?"

"Go east, that three-story building." Mu Xu pointed to the east side of the manor, "The cars that don't drive are all on the third floor, I'll wait for you here." He put his hands in his coat pockets, stood by the path, and studied the gardener. The well-tended bushes are probably a flower bed of roses and roses, and there are a few fat gray-brown squirrels squatting around the fountain not far away.

Firefly Manor is located in the western suburbs of London, covering an area of ​​3.2 hectares. Mu Baiying bought this land when Mu Xu was 14 years old, and planned the functional areas of the manor by herself. Every plant and tree is in accordance with Mu Baiying's taste and preferences.

Mu Xu admires Mu Baiying's methods. Her mother is a tiger who occupies the land as king. She is strong, swift, intelligent, and ambitious. She can always get what she wants, no matter the cost or means. All eyes on success.Because of Mu Baiying's uncompromising and resolute personality, living with her and being her son has become a particularly painful thing. Mu Baiying can't bear disobedience, and Cliff is the projection of her desire to control.

Mu Xu, who had never won the battle with Mu Baiying for control since he was a child, this time he also had the mentality of breaking the pot and kicking the bushes childishly. Mu Baiying refused to let him go back to Beijing , he had no choice but to spend all of Mu Baiying's money.

But how much money Mu Baiying has, Mu Xu has no idea.

Mu Baiying is a wealthy country in the real sense.

Cliff drove the Mercedes-Benz G63 and stopped in front of Mu Xu. He said: "It really needs to be overhauled, and the brakes feel a little blunt."

"Liberty." Mu Xu said, he glanced at his watch, "Put me there, you go to repair the car, and pick me up at five o'clock."

Cliff carefully glanced at Mu Xu's expression in the rearview mirror, and said, "I can fix the car tomorrow."

"I won't commit suicide in Liberty." Mu Xu said, "How to commit suicide, hang yourself with an evening dress from the 30s?"

Cliff was dumb, silent for a while, and said, "I'll help you carry your things."

"..." Mu Xu pinched the bridge of his nose and lowered the car window to let the wind blow.

Cliff said, "I'm a bodyguard, not a housekeeper." He stepped on the brakes, and the Mercedes-Benz stopped at the entrance of Liberty Department Store. Mush pushed the door to get off, and Cliff handed the key to the doorman to park.

"How much does my mother pay you to make you so conscientious?" Mu Xu asked.

"Three hundred pounds a day," said Cliff.

"I'd rather she buy a bouquet of flowers with three hundred pounds." Mu Xu stepped into Liberty. Suspended ceilings all tell a long history of a century and a half.

Cliff asked, "Does the building need to be closed?"

"No." Mu Xu said, "I don't like high-profile." He strolled leisurely into an antique jewelry store, tried on an opal brooch, bought it when he saw the right one, and gave it to Donna, Anna, Mu Bai Ying, Owen, Cliff's youngest daughter Yvette, and Chi Juntao.

For three hours, Cliff had to borrow a cart from the mall to hold the gifts Mu Xu bought, and Mu Xu abruptly turned the century-old store with exquisite literature and art into a hypermarket.Cliff held the gift box stacked up to his chest, and grabbed the passing clerk with difficulty: "Excuse me, are you in charge of delivery?"

The clerk shook his head, and Cliff said, "I can pay for the shipping."

The clerk said, "I'll ask the manager for instructions."

Mu Xu stopped in front of a tailor shop, which is an old-fashioned handmade suit tailor shop in London. It is a family shop and has been passed down for four generations.Mu Xu held the cufflinks he just bought, and he wanted to match them with a well-tailored suit.

The manager rushed over and directed a group of employees to help Cliff pack the gifts, and promised to deliver them to the Firefly Manor before noon tomorrow.Cliff breathed a sigh of relief, and when he turned around, he saw Mu Xu pushing the door and entering the tailor shop, followed by Cliff: "You want to make clothes?"

"Make it for one person." Mu Xu said, rang the bell at the door, and an old tailor with gray hair and hale and heart opened the door curtain and walked in: "Do clothes?"

"Hmm." Mu Xu said.

The old tailor looked Mu Xu up and down, and his eyes fell on the gray suit and vest on Mu Xu's upper body: "Why don't you go to your usual tailor?"

"It's not for me." Mu Xu said, and he reported the size of Chi Juntao's whole body, "Do it like this."

The old tailor took down the numbers and pointed to the hundreds of pieces of fabric stacked side by side against the wall: "Choose."

Mu Xu looked down at his watch: "What time do you get off work?"

"The mall closes at five o'clock." The old tailor said, "For the sake of your knowledge, I can give you more time."

Cliff leaned against the door frame with his arms folded, listening to the drowsiness from his concentration. The debate between Mu Xu and the old tailor covered fabrics, colors, craftsmanship, accessories, cutting, and ironing. When the two walked out of the tailor shop, it was already nine o'clock in the evening. , Cliff asked: "You know so much about clothing, why don't you inherit the Spencer Group?"

"It's called the Spencer Group, not the Mushi Group." Mu Xu said, "It resounded across the European continent with the name of Owen Spencer, and it was destined not to reach my hands."

"Your mother started Spencer." Cliff didn't understand what was going on. "Why didn't she change her name?"

"Spencer men's clothing is also called duke men's clothing." Mu Xu said, "My mother is not a duke." He opened the Mercedes-Benz door and sat in, "Besides, I don't care about Spencer, what I want is in the hands of my fiancé .”

Cliff couldn't understand the operations of rich people. He started the car and said, "Everything will be delivered to the villa at noon tomorrow."

"En." Mu Xu lazily replied, he enjoyed the happiness of spending money, and didn't care about the time when the gift was delivered.

"Fifteen places, all of them." Chen Pingche stood up happily, clapped his hands, and jumped on the spot.

Chi Juntao was also happy. He said, "Take it as a New Year's gift from Joaquin, and wait until the Kaichun International Investment Department is officially put into operation."

"Yes, yes, yes." Chen Pingche laughed so hard that he couldn't see his teeth, "It's easy to say anything when the money is in place."

"Hurry up and go through the legal process in the past two days. After you're done, go to London as soon as possible, and I'll go home to celebrate the New Year." Chen Pingche said, he suddenly calmed down, and looked at Chi Juntao, "You and Xiao Mu really broke up, right?"

"Ah," Chi Juntao touched his nose, "This is his idea."

Mu Xu left Chi Juntao a note and a notebook, and the note said [I'm going to get medical treatment, we're breaking up temporarily.The notebook contains homework, which must be read], and the notebook contains Chi Yan’s thoughts on Hua Jin and his future vision. At the end of the notebook, Mu Xu filled in a well-prepared trick that requires the cooperation of Chi Juntao, which is specially used to deceive the Qi family. .

Among them, Mu Xu only revealed part of the arrangement to Chi Juntao, which included the disguise of a temporary breakup, the family relationship map dug from Chi Yan, and the goals that must be achieved.At the end of the notebook, Mu Xu drew a puppy sitting on the ground, accompanied by the word [obedient].

Mu Xu has always been a dictatorial tyrant. He resents Mu Baiying's desire to control, but his way of loving is the same as Mu Baiying's, unilateral oppression and indoctrination, leaving no room for negotiation or choice.

Chi Juntao had no choice but to follow Mu Xu's plan, forcibly suppressed the urge to go to Europe to beat Mu Xu up, pressed his anger and confusion to move forward, and tried his best to achieve the goal set by Mu Xu.

"Even though it was a fake breakup, I still want to fly to London and put his head into the fountain in Central Park." Chi Juntao said.
