Chapter 1393: Grief and Indignation 2

Chapter 1393 Grief and Indignation 2 Shen Yue's tone sounded somber as he said, "After figuring this out, I've come to accept whatever that has happened between Wenna and Mushan. Everything will be fine as long as they live happily.""Mr. President, it's great that you seem cheerful now that it's been resolved." Lan Zilang sighed lightly."You'll have to work for a few more years if you stay with Xiaye in the company. Come keep me company when you have time. Let the young ones take care of themselves."

"Mr. President, are you talking about what happened recently?" As someone who had been with Shen Yue for many years, Lan Zilang could easily understand what Shen Yue meant.

Shen Yue lowered his head and took a sip of tea. "Mu Yinan called me some time ago. Everyone has probably heard about it, or at least, most of them have. It has caused quite a stir."

"I'm also surprised that Gu Qiwu and the Mu family are involved. I'm a little worried about Chairman Mu now that I think about Mrs. Mu's misfortune."

"Worrying doesn't change anything. From their respective standpoints, it's actually difficult to tell what's right and wrong. In most cases, it depends on how much they can tolerate each other, and it may not even be necessary to talk about forgiveness to live together peacefully."

...

As soon as Shen Yue said this, Xi Xiaye, who had been listening for a while, finally called out, "Grandpa, Uncle Lan!"

Shen Yue's face was gleaming with joy when he heard her voice. Upon turning around and seeing Mu Yuchen and Xi Xiaye standing not far away, his wizened face blossomed like a flower.

"I'm back!"

"Grandpa, Uncle Lan," Mu Yuchen also greeted them respectfully.

Lan Zilang smiled and nodded.

"Just the right time. Your parents went out to buy groceries, and they should be back soon. Come sit inside. It's cold outside." Shen Yue set his teacup aside and walked towards the corridor.

They went to the living room and sat down. Shen Yue could not resist inviting Mu Yuchen to a game of chess. Xi Mushan and Shen Wenna had just come back from buying groceries. The men got together and Xi Xiaye did not bother them as she went to help in the kitchen.

In the kitchen, Shen Wenna was cooking with Xi Xiaye there to help.

When Xi Xiaye was quietly washing the vegetables, she suddenly heard Shen Wenna's voice. "A few days ago, Xi Xinyi came to see your father at home. I asked her to stay for dinner. When I saw her, it felt like she has changed a lot. Do you still remember all the things she's done to you?"

Xi Xiaye was flabbergasted, but after a while, she said, "Those things are all in the past. There's no point holding grudges."

"It's good if you can think that way, Xiaye. When you were growing up, I've always told you that losing is better than gaining an enemy. This isn't a sign of weakness, but it's important to look at the bigger picture. It's part of the reason why things happened between Gu Qiwu and Doris this time. You should learn something from that."

"I know, but, Mother, if you were Lingshi, would you forgive Gu Qiwu? Chen took Hui Gu from Gu Qiwu, and Gu Qiwu was willing to make Lingshi the heir of Gu family... "

Xi Xiaye rarely talked about these things with Shen Wenna. While she always had the impression that her mother was a smart and intelligent person, she rarely confided her concerns to Shen Wenna. However, a lot had changed within these two years.

"Sometimes, it doesn't matter if you forgive a person or not. In fact, your heart already has an answer. Just follow your heart." Shen Wenna did not explain any further.

...

Follow your heart...

How did one follow one's heart?

Xi Xiaye pondered and still felt lost. As the gentle rays of the street lights shone on her face, her eyebrows frowned.

"What're you thinking about? You seem out of it since dinner," Mu Yuchen, who was driving, finally asked after seeing her stay quiet for so long.

Xi Xiaye came back to her senses after hearing his voice. She turned to watch him driving the car, and he looked back at her in concern. "What's wrong?"

Taking a deep breath, she turned back to the front and leaned her head against his broad shoulder. He gently touched her head. "Tell me, what happened? What's bothering you?"

"It's nothing. It's just that I told my mother about Lingshi, and I learned that Xi Xinyi went to our parents' a while ago."

"Are you overthinking?"

"I won't tell you, or you might accuse me of being worried for no reason again! But, Mr. Mu, it's Christmas Eve. We haven't had a night out for so long. Let's go out and have some fun, shall we? Let's call Zitong and Suchen too. And also Qi Lei, Su Nan, Ruan Heng, and the rest!" Xi Xiaye suggested as she admired the vivid lights outside.

Upon hearing her suggestion, Mu Yuchen raised his eyebrows and glanced at her. "Really?"

"Of course, you need to stop the car now. Give them a call and ask them out. I'll call Su Nan. Hurry up!"

Xi Xiaye had already reached out for her cell phone to call Su Nan.

...

Mu Yuchen looked at her helplessly, his deep affection for her apparent in his dark eyes. He slowed down the car, took the phone, and called Su Chen who was at home at the time.

He had just come back from dinner at the old residence and was smoking a cigarette leisurely while reading through some information he had just received from the headquarters. He heard his cell phone vibrate, so he quickly picked it up.

"Come out and let's have fun. At the same old place at Huangtian's. Bring Ji Zitong along," Mu Yuchen said very simply.

"Have fun? That's rare!" Su Chen puffed on his cigarette and grinned.

"Hurry up, I'll be there with Xiaye." Mu Yuchen hung up after that.

Su Chen raised his eyebrows and looked at the phone screen that gradually darkened. Only then did he close the file in his hand. He grabbed his jacket, stood up, and walked out of the study. He shouted, "Zitong, change into some warm clothes. Let's go out to have fun."

"Go out? Do we have any plans?" Ji Zitong had just cut some fruits. She looked at Su Chen in confusion.

"You'll find out when we get there. Now, hurry up and change into something warm."

Su Chen took a piece of apple and stuffed it into his mouth. Then, he took the fruit bowl from her hand, and signaled her to quickly get changed.

Despite frowning, Ji Zitong had no choice but to trust his words. She quickly changed into a light-colored long skirt layered with a beige knitted cardigan, which looked very warm and made her seem very attractive. When she walked out of the bedroom, Su Chen did a double-take.

"Missus, I realize your taste has improved a lot lately!"
