Seeing Fu Xiao leaving the Mu residence with a not-so-good expression, Fu Yu approached her, taking her hand and leading her back to the Zhai residence.
Zhai Jiu had arranged for them to stay in a separate courtyard, away from the main house, making it quite secluded. When Zhai Jiu saw them, he glanced up from his seat in the courtyard, the dim light casting half-shadows over his face. He observed Fu Xiao with a neutral expression and said softly, "It's late... You should get some rest."
With that, he turned and went back inside.
Fu Xiao entered the room and immediately retreated into her private space, where she enjoyed a long, relaxing soak in a hot spring bath. After about half an hour, she emerged from her space and lay down on the bed, feeling an overwhelming sense of fatigue. The events of the day felt like an absurd drama...
She closed her eyes and forced herself to sleep.
At the Mu Residence
Wei Xueze observed Mu Lianshen's impassive expression and spoke softly, "Lianshen, the top leader wants to see you tomorrow..."
Mu Lianshen turned to him, "Do you know what it's about?"
"Probably the old master's hospitalization," Wei Xueze replied.
Mu Lianshen nodded, acknowledging the information.
Then, as if a new thought had struck him, he continued in a flat tone, "Have two things done tomorrow: submit the divorce papers with Tang Ning, and change the child's name. Let Qi Zejun take the child away."
His marriage to Tang Ning had always been a façade, and although the divorce certificate had already been obtained, it had not been filed for various reasons. Now, he wanted to clear away all these messy details to approach his beloved Shizhi with a clean slate.
As for the title of father...
Even though his An An had no interest in it, it was not something just anyone could claim...
Since it was fake, it was best to get rid of it.
Wei Xueze raised his eyebrows. "Qi Zejun might not be willing..."
"Why should I care?" Mu Lianshen shot him a glance, his eyes cool and deep as an ocean.
With that, Mu Lianshen stood up and walked toward the window, looking out at the darkened outside world for a long time. Eventually, he took out a cigarette and began to smoke.
The Next Morning
Awakened by the noise outside, Fu Xiao opened her eyes, dressed quickly, and opened the door. Following the sound, she went to the small courtyard where she saw Zhai Jiu and others chatting around a stone table. Seeing her, Zhai Jiu smiled and said, "You're up? Go get ready, and we'll have breakfast."
By the time Fu Xiao finished her morning routine and joined them, the breakfast table was already set. She took a seat next to Fu Yu.
After breakfast, Zhai Jiu put down his chopsticks and looked at Fu Xiao with a warm smile. "If there's anywhere you want to go today, let Shen Xingzhou accompany you..."
Seeing Fu Xiao nod, Zhai Jiu patted her on the head, then stood up and followed his secretary into the study.
Fu Xiao finished her porridge, wiped her mouth with a napkin, and prepared to head out.
After breakfast, Shen Xingzhou drove Zhai Jiu's car, taking them on a tour around Beijing. Fu Xiao was primarily interested in finding properties under Mu Wanlan's name. She got a general idea of their locations and conducted a brief search, but did not find anything of particular interest. It seemed there were still hidden properties she had not uncovered.
