Spencer Group headquarters building in London, UK.

In the spacious and bright office, a female secretary with exquisite makeup knocked on the door of the CEO's office: "Ms. Spencer, your tea is ready."

"Come in." Sitting behind the desk, Mu Baiying shifted her gaze from the laptop to the secretary, and said, "Leave it alone, thank you."

The secretary put a newspaper on the table together with the teacup and said, "This is today's morning newspaper. I saw news about you and the company in the newspaper, so I took it together."

"Me and the company?" Mu Baiying keenly grasped the key words. She picked up the newspaper and opened the first page. She was shocked by the large photos and headlines. superior."

"Okay." Miss Secretary walked out of the office.

Mu Baiying thought for a moment, opened the drawer, and found a faded iron box in the bottom corner of the third drawer.The box was dusty, the size of a palm, and the original color could not be seen. She opened the box, and there was a piece of iron inside, and a series of phone numbers were engraved on the iron piece.

There is a red landline on the left side of the desk. Mu Baiying picked up the receiver and pressed the numbers one by one according to the numbers on the iron plate.

Shijingshan District, Beijing, China.

"Grandpa, today's hot topic is really interesting." Chi You stared at the phone, "The person in charge of Spencer's men's clothing is an Asian woman. Judging by her appearance, she might be of Chinese descent."

Chi Yan took a sip of tea and ignored Chi You's words.

"Look." Chi You put the phone screen in front of Chi Yan.

"Don't watch." Chi Yan blocked Chi You's hand impatiently, "Every day, I watch something."

"How can this be called having something or not? It's called understanding current events." Chi You said, "Keep up with the times, you will never be old."

Chi Yan thought Chi You was nagging, he took Chi You's phone, and was immediately attracted by the side face of the woman on the screen, which was clearly... He frowned and said, "Who is she?"

"Bernice Spencer." Chi You said, "Owen Spencer's wife."

"I mean her Chinese name." Chi Yan said, "She is Chinese."

"How do you know she is Chinese?" Chi You asked suspiciously, "Everyone is guessing which country she is from."

"She is Chinese, and she is Ji Ke's daughter-in-law." Chi Yan said, "I have seen her before."

"Ah?" Chi You realized the problem, his expression suddenly became serious, and he said, "I'll check it out."

"If Ji Ke passed away and she went to London to start Spencer Suits..." Chi Yan said, "Xiao Mu, who came to our house for dinner before, grew up in London and returned to China three years ago." The round chess is in Chi Yan's hands Playing around, he said, "I remember Ji Ke has a son who doesn't talk much, he looks like five or six years old, what's the relationship between them?"

Chi You said, "You remember it really clearly."

Chi Yan glanced at Chi You and said, "If you have nothing to say, you don't have to."

Chi You shut up resentfully, stood up and left the living room.

Beijing, Fengtai District.

Mu Yueze sat on the sofa and played checkers with Mu Yueyao. Mu Yueyao had a childish temper, and Mu Yueze said something about being a kid, and he hung his head and said nothing.

"How big is it to steal chess pieces." Mu Yueze said, "After this year, you will be 49."

"It's not my birthday yet, I'm 48." Mu Yueyao said.

Mu Yueze was so angry that he put down the chess piece: "What are you going to play, I can't play anymore."

"Hey, why are you so angry." Mu Yueyao put down his body and coaxed his more serious brother, "If you don't follow me, I'll go find Xiaoxu, Xiaoxu has a better temper than you."

"Go, go, go now." Mu Yueze said that he was unwilling to continue playing with Mu Yueyao. Fan Yunqian, who was watching the battle, said with a smile: "The two brothers have been arguing for decades, and they haven't had enough."

"My brother is stupid, and he has never been able to quarrel with me since he was a child." Mu Yueyao was proud.

Mu Yueze slapped Mu Yueyao on the back of the head: "Shut up."

The phone on the coffee table rang, and Mu Yueze said to Fan Yunqian, "You play chess with him, and I'll answer the phone."

"Who is calling so late." Mu Yueyao thought it was Mu Yueze's subordinates calling, "Deduct his salary."

Mu Yueze ignored his younger brother's joke, stood up and walked towards the balcony, the balcony door slammed, blocking Mu Yueyao's voice.

"Brother." A soft female voice came from the receiver.

Seemingly familiar, Mu Yueze frowned: "You..." He paused for about three seconds, his throat seemed to be stuffed with cotton, he cleared his throat, and said, "Xiaoying?"

"It's me." Mu Baiying said.

"It's been more than 20 years." Mu Yueze said, "You haven't contacted us for more than 20 years. You are so cruel, Xiaoying."

"I'm sorry, I don't want to embarrass you." Mu Baiying said, "You also know about Xiao Xu's situation back then."

"He looks quite normal now." Mu Yueze said, "You have raised him very healthy."

"A familiar environment is more suitable for him." Mu Baiying said, "I called to tell you about this."

"What?" asked Mu Yueze, who didn't pay much attention to Internet trends.

"Since I founded the Spencer Group, I have been staying behind the scenes, and Owen, as the face of Spencer, has carried all the exposure." Mu Baiying said, "We participated in a charity gala the day before yesterday, and there was a loophole in the organizer's security. The photo of Irving and I attending together was secretly photographed and made headlines in various newspapers. Although Beijing is far away, I am still worried whether this incident will have a negative impact on Xiaoxu."

"Why did you let Xiaoxu come back?" Mu Yueze asked the question that had been lingering in his mind for many years, "Xiaoxu said that you must let him return to China to get Joajin."

"Yes." Mu Baiying said, "but this is his choice."

"What kind of nonsense choice is this." Mu Yueze raised his voice, "Huajin is a national enterprise, so why not take it back!"

"I mean," Mu Baiying said in a calm voice, revealing a little sadness, "After that incident, this is the only way he is willing to speak."

Mu Yueze was silent, recalling the past 25 years ago.

It was a cloudy day when he had a heart attack. Mu Yueze received a call from Mu Baiying, and the woman's voice in the receiver was panicking. This was the first time Mu Yueze heard Mu Baiying, who had always been independent and steady, panicked. , he comforted: "Xiaoying, take a deep breath and tell me what happened?"

"Xiaoxu, Xiaoxu, he was scared." Mu Baiying's voice was still crying, "Brother, where are you?"

"I'll go over now." Mu Yueze stood up and beckoned the secretary to suspend the meeting. He walked out of the office and said on the phone, "Give me your location."

"Haidian Fourth Hospital." Mu Baiying said.

"Okay." Mu Yueze hung up the phone and got into the car to start the car. Fortunately, the light was green all the way. When he rushed to the hospital, Mu Baiying was holding the young Mu Xu and sitting on the bench at the door of the emergency room.

The little boy who didn't like to talk much on weekdays turned pale. Mu Yueze took the little boy's cold hand and said, "Xiao Xu, do you remember me? I'm uncle."

Although the little boy didn't talk much, he always whispered hello when he saw the elders, but this time Mu Xu stared blankly ahead, without any reaction, immersed in his own thoughts.

Mu Baiying calmed down for half a month under the comfort of Mu Yueze, but Mu Xu's condition was worrying, he ate very little, and did not respond to the calls of others.Mu Baiying had no intention of participating in cum's funeral at all, so she consulted four hospitals within two weeks with Mu Xu in her arms, and visited children's psychological outpatient clinics continuously.

In the 90s of the last century in China, the foundation of child psychology research in the country was shallow. Mu Baiying was afraid that Mu Xu would be so stupid and ignorant all his life, so she took Mu Xu to London to visit Xie Li, a well-known European child psychologist. Brown.

"Xiaoxu learned to bake apple pie at Mrs. Brown's house." Mu Baiying said, "Dr. Brown told me to set a goal for Xiaoxu to guide him to explore the hope of life."

"That's why I asked Xiaoxu to take Joajin back." Mu Baiying said, "The stress and trauma caused him to not remember cum very much, but his subconscious always followed the footsteps of cum."

"Huajin is a state-owned enterprise, and he has already taken the position of CEO. I am worried that the exposure of my identity will affect his life." Mu Baiying said, "I am more worried that the turmoil in life will make his mental state unstable."

"What do you want me to do?" Mu Yueze asked.

"I want you to tell him when necessary, 'Your mother said, if you can't hold on, you can go home.'" Mu Baiying said, wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes, "I miss him."
