Chapter 34
Second Young Master’s Probing
Everyone nodded in unison after sampling the food.
Mu Chen praised, “This beef is so tender and smooth.”
Mu Ci could not help but ask, “Why do I feel that the mushrooms today are so delicious?”
Bei Shuo looked proud.
Mu En silently took a bite of the bamboo shoots in front of him. He could not help but be surprised by the taste in his mouth.
He lowered his eyes to take a look. It was just ordinary bamboo shoots and it was not like he had never eaten them before. It was a home-cooked dish. To be honest, this was not even considered a decent dish in the Mu family. Yet, it was inexplicably delicious.
Bei Shuo picked up the chopsticks and picked up some food for Mu Ci and Mu Chen. She said, “Brother Mu Ci’s spleen and stomach are not good. You have to be especially careful when you eat in the future. Not only can you not touch cold food, but you can’t eat cooling dishes either. This will go against your medicine’s properties and is not good for your body. 70% of the treatment hinges on nourishment. No matter how good the medicine is, it’s not as good as eating carefully. Grandpa, the same goes for you. I’ll take your pulse after dinner and examine you.”
Mu Chen nodded repeatedly. “Sure!”
Mu En’s eyes darkened. “Do you know medicine? That’s impressive.”
Bei Shuo smiled without saying anything. She only cared about putting food into Mu Ci’s bowl and coaxing him to eat more.
The food in Mu En’s mouth suddenly lost its taste.
Mu En left after losing his appetite. He put away the innocent smile as soon as he left.
Seeing him come out, his assistant, Lin Xu, quickly got out of the car and opened the door for him. Then, he returned to the driver’s seat and started the car. He glanced at Mu En’s expression and asked carefully, “Second Young Master, where are we going?”
Mu En said with a cold expression, “Has Bei Cong been trying to see me using you?”
Lin Xu was stunned for a moment before he smiled and said, “Yes. I don’t know what kind of bad luck the Bei family has had over the years, but their business has been deteriorating. They’ve almost destroyed the family business left behind by their ancestors. Bei De listened to his son and daughter’s advice and invested in a piece of land. In the end, the intel was wrong. The government requisitioned that piece of land and they couldn’t get back a single cent. When the Mu family took over, he was already stuck with the land. They wanted to settle for the next best thing and get the project from us to resolve their urgent needs. They have just found their long lost eldest daughter not long ago, but they made her marry Eldest Young Master.”
Mu En frowned. “Are you talking about my sister-in-law?”
Lin Xu nodded. “That’s right. The foster daughter of the Bei family is called Bei Le. She’s the beloved daughter of the Bei family. However, this biological daughter isn’t very well-liked. After they found out her eight characters were compatible with our eldest young master’s, they sent her over without hesitation. The eldest young master gave the project to the Bei family.”
Mu En sneered. “So he bought a wife.”
Lin Xu could not understand Mu En’s emotions.
Mu En said, “Continue. Tell me about Bei Cong.”
“Bei Cong studied abroad for two years after graduating from university. When he came back, he joined the company to assist his father. He thinks that he’s quite knowledgeable and qualified, so he’s a little arrogant. He has quite a good reputation in their small circle, and he’s quite ambitious. He’s unwilling to be a third-rate wealthy family, so he always wants to squeeze his way upstream. He went through lots of people to get to me. Are you thinking of having some fun with him?” Lin Xu probed.
Mu En shifted into a more comfortable position and a devilish smile appeared on his face. “Tonight then. Call some people for a party, and lure him over. Oh right. Don’t forget to lure his foster sister as well. I have a feeling there’s more to this!”
Lin Xu replied, “Alright.”
Bei Shuo took Mu Chen’s pulse and prescribed a prescription. “Grandpa’s health is not bad. It’s just that the left side of his body is often numb. He has trouble sleeping at night and has a lot of dreams. Sometimes, he’s irritable and easily angry. It’s a small problem.”
Old Jiang’s eyes widened. He looked at Bei Shuo and then at Mu Chen. He said in surprise, “Old Master, isn’t she spot on?”
Mu Chen nodded. “I didn’t expect you to be so good!”
Bei Shuo’s smugness was written all over her face. She said to Mu Ci, “Brother Mu Ci, why don’t you show Grandpa what I’m capable of? I have to show him some proof so that he will take my medicine obediently!”
Mu Ci glanced at the door.
Old Jiang understood and quickly locked the door.
When he turned around, Mu Ci stood up from the wheelchair. Old Jiang was so frightened that he rushed over to help him. “Young Master!”
However, Mu Ci pushed his hand away and slowly walked toward Mu Chen stiffly.
Mu Chen stood rooted to the ground with tears in his eyes.
Mu Ci stood in front of Mu Chen. “Grandpa, I can walk now, but I’m not familiar with it yet.”
Mu Chen hugged his grandson and patted his back hard. He could only say, “Good! This is brilliant!”
